MarkDudeThese kids nowadays with their Facebook, and their tweetering00:59
akkTwitter is mostly middle-aged people, apparently. :)00:59
MarkDudeAnd their haircuts, dont get me started about that00:59
MarkDudeIts weird - about half the nerds I know would PREFER I use FB to communicate with them01:00
MarkDudelikes its rude to email or sumthin'01:00
MarkDudeOr thats just what old people do01:00
MarkDudeIn my day, we used to spell out the whole word01:01
akkMost of the people I know who use FB as primary means of communication are extremely nontechnical.01:02
kdubhow would i know how to cut my hair if it wasnt for fb? :)01:02
MarkDudeakk, yes, it is amazing how many folks can architect sumthin' and not get say how electricity works01:03
MarkDudeThen again knowing all sorts of Star Wars or Star Trek stuff is nonetheless geeky, even if they only know fake science01:04
akktrue01:05
kdubfor the record, i wish i could get rid of facebook01:06
MarkDudegrantbow, said he was thinking about doing that, I told him what I heard him say was- well folks under 45, I really dont want to talk to them on their terms01:22

nhainesJetzt kann ich wieder auf Deutsch tippen!17:45
nhainesAlthough, ironically, that is not obvious by the above phrase.17:45
* nhaines shrugs.17:45
pleia2heh :)17:51
jamiedmattinglywow its been a long time since i tried to speak or read german what does that say nhaines?17:53
kdubquestion, anyone know where the unity/wayland for ubuntu folks hang out?18:07
pleia2unity and wayland are different things :)18:12
pleia2for UI and design of unity you want #ayatana18:12
pleia2and there is #wayland18:13
nhainesjamiedmattingly: it said "Now I can type in German again!"18:29
pleia2kdub:18:36
pleia210:12:46 < pleia2> for UI and design of unity you want #ayatana18:36
pleia210:13:30 < pleia2> and there is #wayland18:36
jdeslipSehr gut. Bald werden Sie spricht auch Deutsch.18:42
jdeslipBy the way, big flashplayer update today for linux/ubuntu.  Hardware acceleration works great if you have an nvidia card.  Full screen flash video drops from 90% to 10% on my machine ;)18:43
nhainesWell, I do speak it far more often than I type it.  :)  But now that locale info was fixed on this server I can type "süß" instead of "suess".18:44
nhainesAlso: see what others are typing when they speak Spanish or German.18:44
jdeslipinteresting18:45
jdeslipNow, if only there was a google translate plugin for irssi18:45
jamiedmattinglyi was stationed in germany for a few years but thats was so long ago all i can really remember is how to order a beer :)18:50
jamiedmattinglyein bier vitte18:51
nhainesbitte ;)18:53
jamiedmattinglysee it has been that long i guess lol18:53
pleia2that's really all you need to know18:54
jamiedmattinglyi can say it in 3 languages :)18:54
jamiedmattinglyuna cervezaq por favor18:55
jamiedmattinglyminus the q18:55
pleia2hehe18:55
nhainesMaybe while I'm at SCaLE I'll eat German food at Alpine Village in Torrance.  Usually I go to Old World in Huntington Beach.18:56
jamiedmattinglymy typing still sucks either that or this darn small netbook keyboard18:56
jamiedmattinglyoh i could go for some schnitzle mit spetzle and im alost positive i spelled most of that wrong18:57
jamiedmattinglyooooh or some brats with fuer senf thank sounds real good18:58
jamiedmattinglynow im hungry again18:58
nhainesI like spaetzle.  I also like bratwurst.  Senf means mustard, but "fuer" is a preposition meaning "for".  :)19:16
jamiedmattinglyok i spelled it wrong the was supposed to be wo9rd for fire like hot mustard19:19
jamiedmattinglyi discharged fro army in 91 and came back to states haven't had much occasion to speak german since19:22
nhainesNot sure I've had Feuersenf before but sounds tasty.  Any mustard you have to store in a metal toothpaste tube is fine by me!19:24
jamiedmattinglythats exactly how it was lol19:24
jamiedmattinglyvery tasty19:24
nhainesWhen mustard is hot or spicy or strong we say it's "scharf", though, generically.  :)19:25
jamiedmattinglycould it be a regional thing?19:25
nhainesNo, Feuersenf would be a specific type or recipe rather than a generic term for "hot".  Maybe.  I don't think anyone would misunderstand what Feuersenf is supposed to taste like.  :)19:26
jamiedmattinglyare you from germany?19:26
nhainesLong Beach, actually.19:26
jamiedmattinglyjust speak german?19:26
nhainesYup!  :)19:26
jamiedmattinglyi used to speak it pretty good when i was there but cant say much of anything now19:27
nhainesThat's the trick, really.  :)  The Internet's good for that, and of course sometimes you find good restaurants....19:30
jamiedmattinglyi havent found a good german food place since i left19:31
nhainesWhereabouts do you live?19:32
jamiedmattinglyvallejo19:32
nhainesI know there was a place in San Jose or San Francisco when we went to CLS, but it was closed on Sundays when we tried to visit.19:33
jamiedmattinglythe used to be a place in the mall in concord but the food was really bad19:34
jamiedmattinglythen again i went to a couple of mexican food places in illinois when i lived there and they were really bad as well19:35
nhainesYou haven't lived until you've eaten a canned tortilla.  (At least, if you taste one you'll know you're certainly not dead.)19:35
jamiedmattinglytortilla in a can?19:36
nhainesThat's how they sold them in the 60's.19:36
nhainesBack east, anyhow.  :)19:36
jamiedmattinglywow19:36
MarkDudeThey used to sell rice in a cn- already cooked also19:37
jamiedmattinglyand i thought getting potatoes in a can was bad lol19:37
jamiedmattinglyhas anyone ever used andchat or another android app to get on the irc here?19:47
nhainesI used something or other back in the G1 days but it liked to disconnect every time the display slept.19:54
nhainesSo instead I just use ConnectBot and screen plus irssi.  :D19:55
crashsystemsI am using andchat currently, which is what the crashsystems1 nick is using19:57
MarkDudeAwkward geek moment last night at SNNSF- dude walks in - sees us playing Raskulls, notices one of us is using his gamertag20:03
MarkDudeSays, hey where is my ex-gf-  she still has my tag on the 36020:04
MarkDudeIt was a <geek moment>20:04
MarkDudeOn our side of geekdom the question is usually - what distro do you use?20:05
MarkDudeOr what is your project20:05
MarkDudethe most common question was - what console do you prefer? or are you a PC gamer?20:05
* MarkDude had to clarify that most of my gaming was on Linux, and usually involved penguins20:06
jamiedmattinglyhey crashsystems i tried setting it up last night and had difficulty do you mind walking me through a little?20:22
AndroUserhello20:46
jamiedmattinglyi got my phone to work as andro user20:46

jamiedmattinglyisnt opera a browser?20:49
iheartubuntuyes, but the new Opera versions have email, IRC, widgets, etc built into it20:51
iheartubuntuso far Im liking Opera a lot.20:51
jamiedmattinglywow i gotta try that20:51
iheartubuntuso far the only prob with Opera is I dont have Java working in it yet20:53
kdub_jamiedmattingly: you can authenticate to your nick and do ghost from nickserv21:03
kdub_doing "msg Nickserv help" explains it21:03
kdub_pleia2: thanks for directing to #ayatana, i would have never figured that out on my own22:22

jamiedmattinglyyour not missing much23:07
jamiedmattinglycheers23:07
pleia2:)23:07
jamiedmattinglyhow do you do that thing where your doing something rather than saying something i guess23:16
jamiedmattinglyshows an * instead of your name23:16
pleia2/me does something23:18
jtatumhow vague23:19
jamiedmattinglywow i tried typing it but nothing happened23:20
jamiedmattinglyok so its the / then my name followed by the action right?23:21
pleia2not your name, "me"23:22
* jamiedmattingly is confused23:22
pleia2there you go :)23:22
jtatum /me <action>23:22
akkslash-em-eee-space23:22
jtatumor /em depending on fate23:22
jamiedmattinglyyay23:22
* akk cheers23:23
* jamiedmattingly raises hands in triumph23:23
* jtatum does something23:23
jdeslippleia2 - but now how do you write "/me" at the beginning like that without causing the action...23:32
pleia2jdeslip: / /me does things23:33
jdeslipdoes the leading / kill any further commands?23:33
pleia2I think so23:33
pleia2/ /me does things23:33
pleia2yeah23:33
pleia2that's double /s!23:33
jdesliplol23:34
akkI think it depends on the client -- doesn't seem to work in xchat.23:34
akkI've never found a way to get a slash at the beginning of a line.23:34
akkTried / / and //, they both say unknown command.23:34
pleia2yeah, it's client specific23:34
* iheartubuntu is crazy23:36
iheartubuntuworks in Opera irc23:36
akk /me works everywhere (AFAIK), but getting it to SAY "/me" at the beginning of a line doesn't.23:36
akk(notice I had to put a space there, otherwise xchat would have complained)23:36
jdeslipHow can we raise this discussion to another level of meta ;)23:37
* jamiedmattingly curses xchat and its complaints23:37
jamiedmattinglythis is getting to be fun23:39
jamiedmattinglyok gotta get out of here see you tonight who ever will be there23:41
rwwakk: /say ?23:42
akk/me tries /say23:42
akkwoo! Thanks, rww :)23:42
akk/etc/hosts23:47
akkooh, funny, I didn't need to prefix that one at all (didn't mean to send it, I was checking to see what the exact error message was :)23:48
nhaineshaha23:48
nhainesCommand not found: (A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail? _23:48
