[14:07] <bcurtiswx> good morn'
[15:36] <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?
[16:19] <maco> bcurtiswx: yeah thats fine
[16:20] <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
[16:21] <maco> 10am
[16:22] <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
[16:23] <maco> ok
[16:24] <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?
[16:25] <bcurtiswx> i would assume so
[16:25] <bcurtiswx> what time?
[16:30] <maco> 9:45?
[16:34] <bcurtiswx> maco, works for her.  How did you want to set up the comp?
[16:35] <maco> i can just make a new user with a stupid password
[16:35] <maco> oh gotta warn ya, its kde
[16:36] <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
[16:38] <bcurtiswx> maco: i can make a USB bootable disk if you need
[16:38] <bcurtiswx> my internet at home and work is pretty good
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <bcurtiswx> mostly it's so she can use the schools computers for her Viz class (OpenGL and C)
[16:43] <bcurtiswx> OK, 9:45AM tomorow morn in front of the NOAA building?
[16:43] <bcurtiswx> s/tomorow/tomorrow
[16:44] <maco> yeah
[16:45] <bcurtiswx> the one next to the metro, and if anything screwy arises you have my cell and I can relay anything to her
[16:46] <bcurtiswx> maco,whats the screen size/weight of it.. j/w
[16:47] <maco> 15" about 7lb
[16:50] <bcurtiswx> i may buy her a laptop, but I'm going to wait for deals online.  I really appreciate this tho :)
[16:54] <bcurtiswx> kubuntu 10.10 ?
[17:05] <maco> either 10.04 or 10.10, im not sure
