dmcgloneHow do I get virtual box out of full screen mode?00:48
Unit193Hostkey+f00:48
dmcglonethanks00:49
Unit193dmcglone: Do you really have a need for a silverlight clone?00:52
dmcgloneI really have no idea why I'm doing this00:52
dmcgloneI want to watch netflix on demand :-/00:53
Unit193I take it you need silverlight/moonlight for that?00:53
dmcglonemoonlight doesn't work with netflix, thats why I installed XP in a virtual machine00:54
dmcglonebut I'm only doing all this to see if I can get captions for the hearing impaired on the films on the computer :-/00:55
dmcgloneI admit, I also did it to see if I could get past M$'s registeration key00:57
dmcglonelol00:57
dmcglonethe activation I mean00:58
dmcgloneany pointers? O:-)00:59
Cheri703did it not work dmcglone?01:00
dmcglonethe virtual machine?01:00
Cheri703yeah01:00
dmcgloneit's working, I'm installing updates and IE 8 :-)01:00
Cheri703ah, nice01:00
Unit193Eh, can't uou use FF?01:01
dmcglonenext gonna see if I can play netflix movies and see if they are closed captioned on the "on demand"01:01
dmcgloneYeah I can Unit193 but don't feel like installing it just for testing purposes01:01
dmcgloneI might in a bit, but for now I'm just gonna go with this01:02
Unit193What method did you use? (for XP activation)01:02
dmcgloneafter I get tired of this, I'm gonna get some other distro's and experiment with them01:02
dmcgloneevery time I click on the icon it tells me it's already activated and goes away, but comes back every time I boot01:03
dmcgloneI'm gonna piddle around in the registry sometime01:04
dmcgloneMight just delete the whole registry just to see the shit blow up01:04
dmcgloneLOL01:04
Cheri703what brand is your desktop?01:04
dmcgloneI've got HP Media Center, but the XP disk I used was for a gateway... LOL01:05
Cheri703well, oem disks don't work with vm01:05
dmcglonemust not be an OEM disk01:06
Cheri703well, they don't auto activate with vm01:06
dmcgloneAh01:06
Cheri703can't read the bios to identify01:06
Cheri703not the proper bios, reading vm bios01:07
dmcgloneI see01:07
Cheri703yeah01:07
dmcgloneso will it lock up in 30 days?01:08
Cheri703probably if you don't activate01:08
dmcgloneOh well. LOL01:09
Cheri703one option, try using the key that is printed on the side of the comp?01:09
dmcgloneI'm gonna trash it before I get rid of it anyway01:09
Cheri703if you are wanting to use ubuntu AND windows....just run ubuntu in windows as a vm01:09
Cheri703....swap it01:09
dmcgloneI was going to try the key from my brother's 1999 shitty laptop LOL01:09
dmcgloneHell no!01:10
dmcgloneLOL01:10
Cheri703heh01:10
dmcgloneI'm not wanting to use both at the same time permenatly01:10
Cheri703well, yeah01:11
dmcgloneI'm just experimenting and having fun messing with shit01:11
dmcgloneI'm gonna try some other OS's too after this01:11
dmcgloneI'm gonna try my hand at compiling my own01:12
dmcgloneNice thing about this. If it gets screwed up, Oh well!01:13
Cheri703exactly01:13
Cheri703and easy to transfer to another computer01:13
dmcgloneby the way cheri, you should give KDE 4.6 a look01:13
Cheri703might01:13
dmcgloneI'm running it right now. It rocks so far01:13
dmcglonethe last release was buggy01:14
dmcglonethis is an LTS release and it's nice01:14
Cheri703that's cool01:15
dmcgloneIt's also got an option to run the netbook desktop instead of the traditional01:15
dmcgloneI took a look at the netbook version, but didn't think I could get used to it01:15
dmcglonedarn, I wish I could get mythtv working, I could be watching the Hockey game right here01:16
Cheri703heh01:16
dmcglonefor some reason about a year ago, I haven't been able to get it to work anymore01:17
Cheri703that sucks01:17
Cheri703I'll be back in a bit, have to make a phone call01:17
dmcgloneI think because TV moved from analog to digital01:17
dmcglonebe back in a bit, gonna go watch the game01:19
dmcglone1Jackets are up 1 with about 2 minutes to go :-)04:00
Unit193There was a deejay on #lubuntu...04:02
Unit193Do you PM a freenode staff or ask in chat for a cloak?04:03
Cheri703?04:03
Unit193Cheri703: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks04:04
Unit193I'm guessing ask in IRC..04:04
canthus13Unit193: Ask in #freenode.04:17
canthus13Just like that. :)04:18
Unit193canthus13: I don't even see you in there!04:20
BiosElementHah04:20
BiosElementI love my hostmask. >.> "BiosElement!~quassel@biosinteractive.com"04:20
BiosElementYay for quassel04:20
canthus13Unit193: I'm not in there.04:21
Cheri703canthus13 is omnipotent04:22
canthus13:D04:22
canthus13sweet design:  http://dornob.com/double-sided-usb-solves-painfully-universal-design-problem/04:22
Cheri703that site isn't loading / is taking forever04:23
canthus13Weird.04:25
Cheri703not opening :(04:25
canthus13Loads perfectly for me.04:26
* canthus13 even refreshed it twice to check.04:26
Cheri703oh, I think it's going now04:26
Cheri703it was taking FOREVER04:26
canthus13Odd. DNS lag, mebbe.04:26
Cheri703dunno04:26
Cheri703still going -_- not up yet04:27
Cheri703that is a good idea04:27
Cheri703got to talk to my british friend tonight for a while :) it was nice04:34
Unit193I'll have to take a closer look at quassel... finch is hanging/freezing too much :/ (but quassel is only IRC)05:14
Cheri703that stinks Unit19305:14
Unit193And I'm not sure if it logs/times my out!!05:14
Unit193me*05:14
Cheri703meh, headache -_-05:19
canthus13Unit193: irssi + bitlbee05:24
* Unit193 can't handle irssi05:24
canthus13Unit193: http://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.r.html05:24
Unit193Thanks for the idea05:24
canthus13Unit193: Irssi is awesome once you get the hang of it.. it doesn't take long.05:24
canthus13bitlbee works with other clients as well.05:25
* canthus13 picked up irssi in about a week.05:26
Unit193The config file seems so large!05:26
canthus13Ignore the config file for the moment.05:27
canthus13most of it you'll never touch.05:27
canthus13I've looked at the config once in 3 years.05:27
canthus13It's like most config files in linux. there if you need it, but you'll prolly never mess with it.05:28
Cheri703my head is throbbing :(05:28
Cheri703and I'm pissy :( husband is irritating me a ton today05:28
Cheri703not pleased at this point in my evening05:29
canthus13Take some tylenol and tie his big toes together while he's asleep.05:29
canthus13But tie them together with a 2-3 foot long piece of twine so he doesn't notice 'til he takes a step.05:29
Unit193canthus13: what about bitlbee-libpurple?05:29
Cheri703not sure if we have any sort of pain reliever in the house :(05:30
canthus13Unit193: Not sure.05:31
canthus13Cheri703: Bummer.05:31
Cheri703yeah :(05:32
Cheri703it's blood pressure related05:32
canthus13Cheri703: in that cage. my suggestion might help... A good laugh lowers your blood pressure. :)05:32
Cheri703heh, yeah05:32
Unit193canthus13: When I PM you, does it open in a new tab type thing?05:33
canthus13sort of.05:33
Cheri703it's at the point where my head is throbbing, sometimes when my head feels like this, if I get up, walk a bit, then sit down, my head throbs so much that the vessels in my eyes throb visibly (like I get vein shaped lines across my eyes in time with the throbbing, it's super fun)05:34
canthus13irssi doesn't have tabs exactl.05:34
canthus13Cheri703: I know how it feels.. I get that occasionally.05:34
canthus13Unit193: the first 10 channels are accesible with alt-#, /win <#> after that.05:34
canthus13alt-<arrows> scrolls you through the channels, skips over the pm windows.05:35
Unit193"/msg nickserv" opens a new window in finch, how do I do that in irssi?05:36
canthus13same.05:38
canthus13most of the commands are the same.05:38
Unit193Last one for now... how do I get a list of users on the side?05:41
canthus13That one I'm not sure. I never liked that. I know it can be done, but it's probably a plugin.05:42
canthus13Unit193: nicklist.pl05:45
canthus13http://al3k.net/category/irc/05:45
Unit193Thanks05:46
canthus13no prob.05:46
Unit1931I think I left the other channel... hrm05:49
canthus13where'd you leave it?05:49
Unit1931I have no idea ;) I just did a /join and I don't see the "tab" anymore...05:50
canthus13It's there.05:50
canthus13see the [act: 2,3,4] (Or whatever)?05:50
Unit1931No, where would that be?05:51
canthus13the status bar right above where you type.05:51
canthus13could also alt-<left/right arrow>05:51
canthus13that switches from one to the next.05:52
Unit1931"[00:52] [Unit1931(+i)] [1:freenode/#ubuntu-us-oh(+Ccgnt)]"05:52
canthus13You're only in one channel, then.05:52
canthus13 /join #ubuntu just for fun.05:52
canthus13Unit1931: See?05:53
Unit1931It only changes with /join channel...05:55
canthus13Hrm. Odd.05:56
Unit193Unit1931:05:56
canthus13heh.05:56
Unit193All the talking from all the channels are in the one window!05:57
canthus13Dude. you broke it.05:57
canthus13that's awesome.05:57
canthus13All at the same time?05:57
Unit1931canthus13: yeah...05:58
Unit1931This is not cool....05:58
Unit193dpkg-reconfigure irssi?05:59
canthus13Not sure. Never had to do it, but I'd imagine it would.05:59
canthus13Any better?06:05
Unit1931It works now... how do I close a window/tab06:05
Unit1931?06:05
canthus13  /wc06:05
canthus13while in that tab.06:06
canthus13dunno if /wc <window number> works.. never tried.06:06
canthus13Yup. it does. :)06:06
Unit1931I'm not sure if I could get used to it...06:07
canthus13I wasn't either.  Give it a few days to grow on you.06:08
Unit1931No color? mind posting your screenshot?06:09
canthus13Sure.06:13
canthus13http://www.flickr.com/photos/94504880@N00/5141644024/06:14
canthus13I set my colors with gnome terminal, not irssi.06:14
canthus13but you can set themes in irssi.06:14
Unit1931That looks so much better!06:20
canthus13Heh.06:36
Unit1931You're kidding...07:26
Cheri703?07:26
Unit19311:28 into Serenity... and it stoped!!!07:27
Cheri703that sucks07:27
Unit19311hr 28min...07:27
Cheri703that sucks07:27
Cheri703bah07:27
Cheri703out of how long?07:27
Unit1931I don't know...07:28
Unit1931They are about to crash land... (haven't you seen it?)07:29
Cheri703it's been a while07:29
Unit1931I have never...07:29
Cheri703bah, everytime I move, my head starts throbbing harder07:29
Unit1931I don't know what to say to that.... I know it's not fun... and you won't be able to sleep...07:30
Cheri703yeah, it's not so good07:31
Cheri703were you streaming serenity or was it downloaded?07:33
BiosElementCheri703: The answer is, don't move.07:47
Cheri703yeah, working on that07:48
Cheri703am reclined and trying to avoid movement as much as possible07:48
BiosElementHear Libya hit the 'kill switch' for the net? >.>07:48
Cheri703dang07:51
canthus13Didn't want an Egypt infection.07:53
BiosElementYeah, 85 dead and counting apparently with a regime in power for over 4 decades. >.>07:53
BiosElementI see a pattern here.07:53
canthus13Yep.  Northern Africa will soon be ruled by Islamic hardline regimes. that's typically what happens in predominantly muslim nations when there's a power vacuum.07:54
Unit1931Cheri703: both (DownloadHelper downloads streaming and makes it easier to play)07:54
BiosElementWay to dampen the mood canthus13. >.< I'm still convinced good can come of all this.07:54
canthus13BiosElement: I'm a realist.07:55
BiosElementYou can't be realistic when you look at what's happend, this is a unique event.07:55
canthus13BiosElement: No it's not.07:55
Cheri703gotcha Unit193107:55
canthus13It happens regularly in the middle east. the difference now is the level of communication available now.07:55
BiosElementWhich makes it even more powerful.07:56
canthus13No. It makes it more visible.07:56
canthus13Well, maybe.07:56
canthus13It may incite more violent protests and general chaos.07:56
canthus13*shrug*07:56
canthus13It also means more forcing democracy on people who don't want it.07:56
BiosElementI'm not saying it won't degrade, but then I think this is a possibility for change.07:56
BiosElementOn some people.07:57
BiosElementBut who said it'd be a democracy?07:57
canthus13BiosElement: Nobody yet, but don't be surprised if we (and the UN) charge in and attempt to force it on them.07:57
BiosElementHell, they're still arguing about how many people are in offices and such.07:57
BiosElementWe won't touch it with a 10 foot pole.07:58
canthus13Not egypt, no.07:58
canthus13But the UN might decide to.07:58
BiosElementWe won't touch any of them. Thankfully we're not stupid enough too.07:58
canthus13Eh? What?07:58
BiosElementI doubt it, the UN will stay out besides for humanitarian work.07:58
BiosElementUN's generally worthless anyway.07:58
canthus13They're good ad fucking things up and making things worse. (The Balkans, Mogadishu...)07:59
BiosElementUN has noble aims, but it generally can't get much done besides humanitarian support. Mostly because they awlays like to send peacekeepers to places where there's no peace left to keep. :|08:00
canthus13Anyway... I'm off to bed. :P08:01
BiosElementBut anyway, I place bets that the US won't have fingerprints on anything, though we will be telling them to knock it off while the UN sits around and comdems the violence until hell freezes over.08:01
BiosElementHah so am I ^_^08:01
canthus13Hell, desert storm was a complete waste thanks to the UN. :(08:02
canthus13*yawn* anyway. more overtime tomorrow. time to sleep.08:02
deejoeIndonesia and Turkey are counter examples to the idea that a Muslim-majority country *must* turn into a hard-right theocracy without dictatorship10:25
BiosElementAwesome news for mono fans. >.> http://gnufreex.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/wp7-walled-garden-and-mono-movement/22:54
Cheri703BiosElement: feel like having me bug you to see if you have ideas for a program that'd help with specific needs?22:55
BiosElementGive it a shot, although I may prove ignorent.22:56
Unit193BiosElement: dmc might want to read that22:56
Cheri703ok, need something that is a calendar/reminder program that will not only remind of specific appointments, but be able to do medication reminders, and also stuff like "appointment with dr. x, therefore, remind to bring y info to give him"22:57
Cheri703my initial thought was if tomboy or the like could be set to do reminders, then can link info to that doctor, or what have you, but...22:57
Cheri703I dunno22:57
BiosElementHmm, offline app I assume?22:58
BiosElementBecause my first thought is just googlecal would do the trick.22:58
Cheri703ideally I think22:58
BiosElementLemme poke around22:58
Cheri703thanks :) I'm looking too, but...22:58
Cheri703ideal would be easy to create duplicates, etc22:59
BiosElementAny decent Calendar app should be able to do repeating dates22:59
Cheri703yeah, but linking further info is where it gets wrinkly I think22:59
Cheri703like, "every time I see dr x I need to take x info, so if an appointment with dr x is created, put in a reminder for x info" and such...if possible23:00
Cheri703trying to find a one stop solution for a bunch of things (for an accessibility thing)23:00
BiosElementEvolution should be able to handle something similer to that anyway.23:00
Cheri703hmm....k, easily? I've never been happy with evolution23:00
BiosElementNeither have I. I'm poking around to see.23:00
BiosElementHmm, not finding much. Suprised how few gnome apps actually bother with calander stuff.23:04
Cheri703:( yeah23:04
Cheri703like 4 years ago there was apparently an attempt to make a reminder plugin for tomboy, but...doesn't work (or didn't last year when I poked at it)23:05
Cheri703I like the idea of setting up the linked notes, but...23:05
BiosElementYeah23:07
BiosElementGah23:36
BiosElementI really forget how awesome it is to work with ubuntu folks sometimes. >.<23:36
BiosElementWe have people who think the code of conduct is important, not a random document no one follows >.>23:36
canthus13Heh.23:40
BiosElementI swear, it's not even funny.23:41
BiosElementWords cannot express how big a difference that makes heh.23:41
BiosElementBreak the CoC and you'll have about 50 angry dogs at your door. >.>23:41
Unit193Can't do *anything* useful with WGR614 router...23:58
