[02:33] <ledzepp4eva> is anyone here going to the meeting in Asheville tomorrow?
[02:36] <_marx_> ping holstein ^
[02:37] <_marx_> hey ledzepp4eva
[02:37] <ledzepp4eva> hi
[02:37] <_marx_>  the user i pinged just now is in a'ville
[02:38] <ledzepp4eva> o ok... i'm kinda new and this would be my first group meeting, seeing as i dont know anyone, was wondering if i could get an idea of who to look for or where to go in the cafe
[02:39] <_marx_> i dig it, holstein is a musician so he may be working now
[02:40] <_marx_> i'm in winston and haven't been to a wnclug deal yet
[02:41] <_marx_> it sounds like a pretty cool place
[02:42] <ledzepp4eva> ya i'm pretty excited
[02:42] <ledzepp4eva> i was looking around on the website for ways to get involved and i found the group.
[02:43] <_marx_> oh great
[02:43]  * _marx_ used to live in h'ville
[02:43] <_marx_> just south of a'ville
[02:44] <_marx_> how do you use ubuntu ledzepp4eva
[02:44] <ledzepp4eva> could you be a little more specific?
[02:44] <_marx_> i've been dazed and confused for so long...
[02:45] <_marx_> i'm a daily desktop user
[02:45] <ledzepp4eva> lol
[02:45] <ledzepp4eva> i've been using ubuntu since 7.10, exclusively since 10.04 came out
[02:45] <_marx_> servers tend to be what ever
[02:46] <_marx_> 7.10 nice
[02:46] <ledzepp4eva> got it to initially experiment and tinker. but as i started programming more i could no longer resist
[02:46] <_marx_> so are you scared of the command line or completely comfortable
[02:47] <_marx_> oh not scared of cli i'd guess
[02:47] <ledzepp4eva> i'm quite comfortable
[02:47] <_marx_> same here
[02:47] <ledzepp4eva> how long have you been using?
[02:48] <_marx_> since '98
[02:48] <_marx_> before ubuntu
[02:48] <_marx_> 5.04 with ubuntu
[02:48] <_marx_> debian unstable before that
[02:48] <ledzepp4eva> wow.. a real veteran
[02:49] <_marx_> seemed stable to me in '01 and they're still talking about linux on the desktop
[02:50] <ledzepp4eva> there is still much to discuss
[02:50] <_marx_> interoperability
[02:51] <_marx_> quicken
[02:51] <_marx_> file sharing is pretty seamless
[02:51] <ledzepp4eva> yeah. fortunately i was able to not get too tied in
[02:52] <_marx_> really depends on what software one "must" have
[02:53] <_marx_> games and quicken seem to be the biggest deal breakers
[02:53] <ledzepp4eva> quite true. games i think are the pinchpoint for people
[02:54] <_marx_> some, i've never really been a gamer, computer gamer cards i like
[02:54] <_marx_> flash games
[02:54] <_marx_> my spousal unit must have her fix
[02:55] <ledzepp4eva> i enjoy gaming to a great extent.
[02:55] <ledzepp4eva> there are some games for linux but there are still a few things to be desired
[02:57] <_marx_> i'd like to see the FPS type of game go to consoles, dedicated gaming units
[02:59] <_marx_> i'm not a gamer so...my opinion is biased by not having participated
[02:59] <_marx_> D&D back in the day
[03:00] <ledzepp4eva> are you aware of a way to batch install a folder full of *debs?
[03:00] <_marx_> trustworthy *debs?
[03:01] <ledzepp4eva> nvm i got it... i'm installing libreoffice
[03:01] <ledzepp4eva> the install is just a bunch of deb installs
[03:01] <_marx_> oh
[03:03] <_marx_> see that, office type software, is something i rarely use
[03:05]  * _marx_ goes to get liberated yadtel usb drive, a nicotene fix and let the fat cat out
[03:05] <_marx_> skinny cat is asleep
[03:05] <ledzepp4eva> lol
[03:05] <_marx_> fat cat is pestering the helloutame
[03:06] <ledzepp4eva> how fat? we have a pretty big cat
[03:12] <_marx_> 13-14 lbs
[03:12] <_marx_> miss massive macy is her current name
[03:13] <_marx_> miss mad macy too
[03:13] <ledzepp4eva> haha... ours tips the scales at about 16 or 17 lbs
[03:14] <_marx_> wow, that is a big one!
[03:14] <ledzepp4eva> hes quite impressive
[03:19] <_marx_> i bet, mmm would run she's such a chicken

[04:44] <_marx_> the irc folks were super helpful and quickly helpful
[04:46] <holstein> cool
[04:46] <holstein> _marx_: supybots right?
[04:46] <_marx_> lu bot is, the other is a logging bot

[04:47] <holstein> and a phennybot
