| jcastro | you could always move your FAQ | 00:24 |
| jcastro | AND MAKE IT MORE ALIVE | 00:26 |
| jcastro | like the weird slugs in Fringe | 00:26 |
| jcastro | anyone watch this show? | 00:26 |
| jcastro | I started like 3 days ago and I can't stop | 00:27 |
| pleia2 | it gets weirder as you go along and the plot evolves, but I still watch it | 00:28 |
| jcastro | I am on like episode 10 | 00:28 |
| jcastro | this guy is giving a lecture | 00:28 |
| jcastro | then he slumps over, and a huge slug comes out of his mouth, it was totally awesome | 00:28 |
| Pici | Yum! | 00:50 |
| Pici | Also, Fringe is great. | 00:51 |
| nhandler | I've been meening to ask, but jcastro's comments about TV reminded me, does anyone else think the sound in the opening sequence of Dexter sounds like the login noise Ubuntu used to have? | 00:55 |
| nigelb | oh, tumblr is down again :o | 01:43 |
| paultag | yo doctormo | 01:49 |
| paultag | doctormo: have some time to help me in the next few weeks? I have a project, and I'd love your help. I'll give you a hint -- python, gtk+ and it needs some love | 01:50 |
| doctormo | paultag: What do you need? | 01:55 |
| paultag | doctormo: general help. You're great with graphics, and I have feeling we'll be needing a bunch of that. I can wrote all teh system level crap, if you want to design something super -- for Ubuntu Studio | 02:46 |
| paultag | doctormo: after seeing that issue reporting interface, I want you to work on this ;) | 02:47 |
| doctormo | paultag: pm me and we'll chat | 02:48 |
| paultag | doctormo: sure | 02:48 |

| duanedesign | hmm | 09:56 |
| duanedesign | watched 'Revolution OS' last night. Have to watch that about once a year :) | 09:58 |
| duanedesign | shame it stops before Ubuntu | 09:59 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 10:05 |
| duanedesign | hello czajkowski | 10:06 |
| duanedesign | hope you are well | 10:06 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| paultag | duanedesign: I remember when that came out | 13:25 |
| paultag | duanedesign: I loved that movie for the longest time. I was still in high school when I downloaded it | 13:26 |
| paultag | that or midddle school. I think High school | 13:26 |
| duanedesign | paultag: what year was that | 13:26 |
| duanedesign | paultag: just curious when it came out relative to when Ubuntu was released | 13:26 |
| paultag | duanedesign: ermm. I graduated HS in 2007, 4 years before was 03 | 13:26 |
| paultag | duanedesign: so sometime between 03 and 07 | 13:27 |
| * duanedesign nods | 13:27 | |
| paultag | duanedesign: Oh jeez. That movie came out 2001 | 13:27 |
| duanedesign | paultag: I like to watch it every X months to stay pumped up about FOSS :) | 13:27 |
| paultag | duanedesign: yeah man | 13:27 |
| paultag | whoh holy crap | 13:29 |
| evilvish | paultag: !! where is the list !! | 13:29 |
| paultag | slashdot changed their theme | 13:29 |
| paultag | evilvish: what list?! ;) | 13:30 |
| popey | grrr, cant get chrome to be default browser on unity/11.04 | 13:30 |
| evilvish | paultag: i had to check the blog , to make sure liferea was not playing games with me ;p | 13:30 |
| paultag | evilvish: oh ahahahaha | 13:30 |
| paultag | evilvish: do you think that I have anything good to say? | 13:30 |
| evilvish | paultag: i'm like looking at liferea and wondering, maybe he made a poster.. why is it not loading ! | 13:32 |
| paultag | evilvish: hahahaha | 13:32 |
| paultag | OK, BBL. Off to skool to lern howw two spekz gooder | 13:35 |
| duanedesign | o/ | 13:38 |
| duanedesign | hello cjohnston-cell | 13:39 |
| duanedesign | cjohnston-cell: have not bumped into you in awhile. Hope all is well. | 13:39 |
| cjohnston-cell | Lol | 13:39 |
| cjohnston-cell | Hey d. | 13:40 |
| cjohnston-cell | No auto complete on the phone, this sucks. Trying to tie up a couple loose ends before an all day meeting. | 13:41 |
| cjohnston-cell | And with that I'm out so I don't kill my battery before 9am. | 13:42 |
| doctormo | cjohnston: Hey, what happened to your cell? early release? | 13:50 |
| doctormo | Morning paultag | 13:50 |
| duanedesign | hello doctormo | 14:10 |
| doctormo | hey duanedesign, how are you today? | 14:11 |
| * dpm lunches | 14:11 | |
| duanedesign | doctormo: ohhh, not to bad | 14:12 |
| duanedesign | thanks for asking | 14:13 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: up to anything exciting today? | 14:13 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: I am looking into what it might take to switch an office of 20 computers from WindowsXP to Ubuntu. | 14:17 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: It's not the desktops, it's the servers that'll fell you. What's their service requirements? | 14:20 |
| doctormo | I don't know what I might be doing today tbh. | 14:20 |
| duanedesign | local business owner wants to switch and wanted to know if I was interested in doing it. | 14:21 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Awesome, let me know if you need any questions answered. Deployments are things you get better at with practice. | 14:21 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: yeah I have a few questions, or steps in the process I am not quite positive the best way to go about them | 14:22 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: What are they? don't be shy :-) | 14:22 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: One thing is the handling of the data on the computers. Was thinking about the best way to back up the data | 14:24 |
| duanedesign | how I should temporarily store the data until I get Ubuntu installed, and then transfer the data back to the box | 14:26 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Make images of all the hard drives, do it during the weekend so you can transition the desktop machies all in one go. | 14:26 |
| doctormo | You can script the backing up and recovery somewhat once you have the disks as images. | 14:27 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: I need to find out the computer specs to make sure I have an external hard drive big enough to hold the images while I am switching the OS | 14:32 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: You can also use a server to park the info too. Depends how you set up the network. | 14:34 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: But I would start with the servers, make sure they're all already Linux based, or at least have known compatible services running/ | 14:34 |
| doctormo | The last thing you want is to find out they're running sharepoint. | 14:34 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: i asked a lot about the apps they use daily. The usual Office, internet,and email. I am curious about what Office file formats Open Office does not like | 14:36 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: It's unhappy about docs and xdocs generally. But apps is second to services, do you know what they use? | 14:37 |
| doctormo | Who provides their email? How do they share files? Do they have any buisness or accounting apps? point of sales systems etc. | 14:38 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: Hostway does their email. The accountants computer is one of the computers that will not be converted. It is not even on the network. | 14:47 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Okay, so long as it's all sorted out. Is Hostway web based email? | 14:51 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: they use Outlook | 14:52 |
| duanedesign | actually Outlook Express | 14:52 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: OK, so what's the system IMAP/POP something like that? | 14:52 |
| duanedesign | yep | 14:52 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: also need to come up with a figure for compensation for the services. | 14:56 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: You mean you need to be paid. :-D | 14:58 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: I calculate like this: (expected_anum/1000) * 2 + (inevitable_support_months * standard_fee) | 14:59 |
| doctormo | You _will_ be called upon to do support, you might as well make it a formal arangement. | 14:59 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: expected_anum? | 15:03 |
| paultag | morning doctormo :) | 15:03 |
| paultag | duanedesign: how are you today? | 15:03 |
| duanedesign | paultag: not to bad, thank you | 15:04 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: The amount of money you expect to earn in the year, say for me it's $90k, for you, it might be different. | 15:04 |
| duanedesign | aha | 15:04 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Once you've got your figure for your per hour charge, then tot up your hours. I would also have a negotiation about how much of a reduction you give if you really like the business. | 15:05 |
| doctormo | I give 50% discounts to people I like. It helps the relationship to be specific about everything in the Invoice. | 15:06 |
| paultag | duanedesign: :) | 15:07 |
| paultag | +1 doctormo | 15:07 |
| doctormo | Heh, I just had an artist say to me: "I'd love to try Ubuntu, but isn't not available in Polish" | 15:21 |
| doctormo | But look at how awesome the polish ubuntu website is http://ubuntu.pl/ | 15:21 |
| jcastro | cjohnston: let's have a skype tomorrow perhaps? | 15:32 |
| jcastro | I haven't chatted with you in a while anyway, might be a good time to catch up | 15:32 |
| * duanedesign waves at jcastro | 15:49 | |
| jcastro | hi | 15:49 |
| dpm | doctormo, you can also show the Polish artist this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dpm/ubuntu-10.10-translation-stats.html and http://people.canonical.com/~dpm/langpacks-by-inst.html | 16:09 |
| dpm | Polish is definitely well supported and has a big user base | 16:09 |
| duanedesign | cool | 16:15 |
| duanedesign | dpm: has anyone made any translation screencasts? | 16:22 |
| dpm | sorry duanedesign, I was in another conversation. There haven't been any translations screencasts. I started a couple of cycles back, but then I got busy with something else, but we definitely need some | 16:46 |
| Pendulum | duanedesign: out of curiosity, are your screencasts captioned? | 16:49 |
| Pendulum | (I"m assuming they have some sound) | 16:50 |
| doctormo | thanks dpm | 16:54 |
| doctormo | jcastro: Man sometimes I want to thwack users who ask questions. http://askubuntu.com/questions/23353/ubuntu-boots-into-terminal/23360 this guy down voted the correct answer I gave then posted his own answer. | 16:54 |
| jcastro | I never bother answering questions like that | 16:55 |
| jcastro | but I zeroed out your vote. :) | 16:55 |
| doctormo | jcastro: tah | 16:56 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: It's your debiantArt first birthday next week :-P | 16:56 |
| duanedesign | :) | 16:56 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: No pictures though, 102 people visited your page over the year. heh | 16:57 |
| duanedesign | hmmm. I should do something about that | 16:59 |
| Pici | 'debiantArt', heh | 17:03 |
| doctormo | Pici: Interesting, I didn't catch that anthrogenisis slip. Good catch. | 17:05 |
| Pici | doctormo: Oh, thought that was the username :/ | 17:08 |
| duanedesign | Pendulum: sorry was on a call. | 17:18 |
| duanedesign | Pendulum: they are not captioned. :( | 17:19 |
| doctormo | Pici: deviantart and debianart are only 2 chars away from each other. it was a typo. | 17:23 |
| doctormo | But it's a fascinating idea. | 17:23 |
| Pendulum | duanedesign: I didn't think so. I just wanted to double check. | 17:23 |
| jcastro | akgraner: do you know who Jack Germain is? he's a writer for linuxinsider | 17:32 |
| paultag | jcastro: dude, why ask if you are going to answer yourself ;) | 17:40 |
| jcastro | well, I am hoping to find the guy's email address | 17:40 |
| paultag | guess what I did on <Z>. I toatally <Y>'d. | 17:40 |
| jcastro | and she's in the incrowd now with the journalists | 17:40 |
| paultag | jcastro: Ohhh, I read that the wrong way | 17:41 |
| paultag | Ah, and back to class. Love ya'll | 17:43 |
| jcastro | hopefully to practice reading! | 17:49 |
| jcastro | :) | 17:49 |
| dpm | calling it a day here, see you all tomorrow! | 17:52 |
| nigelb | woo, looking forward to Ubuntu developer day tomorrow | 17:57 |
| nigelb | probably I'll be on IRC during it | 17:57 |

| Pendulum | jcastro: user days is this weekend | 17:58 |

| cjohnston | jcastro: I work tomorrow.. Friday? | 22:39 |
| jcastro | sure | 22:39 |
| cjohnston | Great. I should be available most of the day | 22:39 |
| nhandler | jcastro: FYI, UUD is Saturday and Sunday UTC (Not Friday and Saturday) | 22:55 |
| nhandler | But thanks for the blog post | 22:55 |
| jcastro | yikes | 22:55 |
| jcastro | oh, but our time is friday/saturday | 22:55 |
| nhandler | jcastro: For you, it should all be Saturday (02:30 until 23:00) | 22:57 |
| jcastro | fixed | 22:58 |
| nhandler | Thanks jcastro. I'll remember to try and clear up any confusion about the dates in the final email we send out about 24 hours out | 22:58 |
| doctormo | pleia2: I'm stoked, I just committed my first commit to an upstream freedesktop project. I have an upstream hat now. | 23:16 |
| * pleia2 gold star @ doctormo | 23:16 | |
| pleia2 | yay! | 23:16 |
| doctormo | pleia2: You always know just what to get me. | 23:17 |
| pleia2 | :) | 23:17 |
| doctormo | Having a good day? | 23:17 |
| pleia2 | reasonably, too much work lately (job security?) | 23:17 |
| nhandler | doctormo: What project? | 23:17 |
| doctormo | nhandler: Only pyxdg, python-xdg package. It needs fixing, documenting etc. | 23:18 |
| doctormo | Currently too many ubuntu devels are writing their own xdg code instead of using the this 2003 started project. | 23:19 |
| doctormo | pleia2: You have job security? | 23:19 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: yep | 23:21 |
| doctormo | pleia2: If you ever get any spare, pass it over this way ;-) | 23:23 |
| pleia2 | always keeping you in mind! | 23:23 |
