---|---|---|
bcurtiswx | maco, I think i'll take you up on your offer to let Tamarah borrow your laptop. You won't mind her keeping it for the entire semester, right? | 15:36 |
maco | bcurtiswx: yeah thats fine | 16:19 |
bcurtiswx | she works just across the street from where you live. when r u home today? | 16:20 |
maco | probably about 7 | 16:20 |
bcurtiswx | how about when do you go in? | 16:20 |
bcurtiswx | to work | 16:20 |
maco | 10am | 16:21 |
bcurtiswx | you take the SS metro to work, right? | 16:22 |
bcurtiswx | i guess thats a given.. maybe I can schedule a meetup, since she gets there around 8/8:30 | 16:22 |
maco | ok | 16:23 |
bcurtiswx | when would work best for you? the NOAA building that you get onto the metro by.. is where she works.. lol | 16:24 |
maco | oh ok | 16:24 |
maco | tomorrow morning ok? | 16:24 |
bcurtiswx | i would assume so | 16:25 |
bcurtiswx | what time? | 16:25 |
maco | 9:45? | 16:30 |
bcurtiswx | maco, works for her. How did you want to set up the comp? | 16:34 |
maco | i can just make a new user with a stupid password | 16:35 |
maco | oh gotta warn ya, its kde | 16:35 |
bcurtiswx | i'll learn KDE with her, but i imagine most of the stuff i'd need is easily accessible | 16:36 |
maco | and i have no way whatsoever to install gnome, since i have no internet access at home, and it has a broken optical drive | 16:36 |
bcurtiswx | maco: i can make a USB bootable disk if you need | 16:38 |
bcurtiswx | my internet at home and work is pretty good | 16:38 |
maco | it doesnt do usb booting | 16:39 |
maco | neither of my laptops do | 16:39 |
bcurtiswx | nice laptop.. | 16:39 |
bcurtiswx | :P | 16:39 |
maco | i havent tried on my netbook yet. i hope THAT at least boots usb | 16:39 |
bcurtiswx | it better, its new | 16:39 |
maco | this one's a core duo with 2gb ram from 2006 | 16:39 |
maco | the core 2 duo with 4gb from 2008 doesnt do usb boot either | 16:40 |
maco | i mean, if the usb is an *actual hard drive* both will boot from usb fine | 16:40 |
maco | but a usb flash drive doesnt boot | 16:40 |
bcurtiswx | yeah, it's NBD, I only think she'll be doing the usual internet(facebook, flash games, built-in games) and IM and using SSH to remotely program | 16:41 |
bcurtiswx | mostly it's so she can use the schools computers for her Viz class (OpenGL and C) | 16:42 |
bcurtiswx | OK, 9:45AM tomorow morn in front of the NOAA building? | 16:43 |
bcurtiswx | s/tomorow/tomorrow | 16:43 |
maco | yeah | 16:44 |
bcurtiswx | the one next to the metro, and if anything screwy arises you have my cell and I can relay anything to her | 16:45 |
bcurtiswx | maco,whats the screen size/weight of it.. j/w | 16:46 |
maco | 15" about 7lb | 16:47 |
bcurtiswx | i may buy her a laptop, but I'm going to wait for deals online. I really appreciate this tho :) | 16:50 |
