[00:00] heh [00:00] give it lots of ram then [00:00] I did [00:05] took me a minute to figure out how to get my mouse out of the virtual machine [00:48] How do I get virtual box out of full screen mode? [00:48] Hostkey+f [00:49] thanks [00:52] dmcglone: Do you really have a need for a silverlight clone? [00:52] I really have no idea why I'm doing this [00:53] I want to watch netflix on demand :-/ [00:53] I take it you need silverlight/moonlight for that? [00:54] moonlight doesn't work with netflix, thats why I installed XP in a virtual machine [00:55] but I'm only doing all this to see if I can get captions for the hearing impaired on the films on the computer :-/ [00:57] I admit, I also did it to see if I could get past M$'s registeration key [00:57] lol [00:58] the activation I mean [00:59] any pointers? O:-) [01:00] did it not work dmcglone? [01:00] the virtual machine? [01:00] yeah [01:00] it's working, I'm installing updates and IE 8 :-) [01:00] ah, nice [01:01] Eh, can't uou use FF? [01:01] next gonna see if I can play netflix movies and see if they are closed captioned on the "on demand" [01:01] Yeah I can Unit193 but don't feel like installing it just for testing purposes [01:02] I might in a bit, but for now I'm just gonna go with this [01:02] What method did you use? (for XP activation) [01:02] after I get tired of this, I'm gonna get some other distro's and experiment with them [01:03] every time I click on the icon it tells me it's already activated and goes away, but comes back every time I boot [01:04] I'm gonna piddle around in the registry sometime [01:04] Might just delete the whole registry just to see the shit blow up [01:04] LOL [01:04] what brand is your desktop? [01:05] I've got HP Media Center, but the XP disk I used was for a gateway... LOL [01:05] well, oem disks don't work with vm [01:06] must not be an OEM disk [01:06] well, they don't auto activate with vm [01:06] Ah [01:06] can't read the bios to identify [01:07] not the proper bios, reading vm bios [01:07] I see [01:07] yeah [01:08] so will it lock up in 30 days? [01:08] probably if you don't activate [01:09] Oh well. LOL [01:09] one option, try using the key that is printed on the side of the comp? [01:09] I'm gonna trash it before I get rid of it anyway [01:09] if you are wanting to use ubuntu AND windows....just run ubuntu in windows as a vm [01:09] ....swap it [01:09] I was going to try the key from my brother's 1999 shitty laptop LOL [01:10] Hell no! [01:10] LOL [01:10] heh [01:10] I'm not wanting to use both at the same time permenatly [01:11] well, yeah [01:11] I'm just experimenting and having fun messing with shit [01:11] I'm gonna try some other OS's too after this [01:12] I'm gonna try my hand at compiling my own [01:13] Nice thing about this. If it gets screwed up, Oh well! [01:13] exactly [01:13] and easy to transfer to another computer [01:13] by the way cheri, you should give KDE 4.6 a look [01:13] might [01:13] I'm running it right now. It rocks so far [01:14] the last release was buggy [01:14] this is an LTS release and it's nice [01:15] that's cool [01:15] It's also got an option to run the netbook desktop instead of the traditional [01:15] I took a look at the netbook version, but didn't think I could get used to it [01:16] darn, I wish I could get mythtv working, I could be watching the Hockey game right here [01:16] heh [01:17] for some reason about a year ago, I haven't been able to get it to work anymore [01:17] that sucks [01:17] I'll be back in a bit, have to make a phone call [01:17] I think because TV moved from analog to digital [01:19] be back in a bit, gonna go watch the game [04:00] Jackets are up 1 with about 2 minutes to go :-) [04:02] There was a deejay on #lubuntu... [04:03] Do you PM a freenode staff or ask in chat for a cloak? [04:03] ? [04:04] Cheri703: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [04:04] I'm guessing ask in IRC.. [04:17] Unit193: Ask in #freenode. [04:18] Just like that. :) [04:20] canthus13: I don't even see you in there! [04:20] Hah [04:20] I love my hostmask. >.> "BiosElement!~quassel@biosinteractive.com" [04:20] Yay for quassel [04:21] Unit193: I'm not in there. [04:22] canthus13 is omnipotent [04:22] :D [04:22] sweet design: http://dornob.com/double-sided-usb-solves-painfully-universal-design-problem/ [04:23] that site isn't loading / is taking forever [04:25] Weird. [04:25] not opening :( [04:26] Loads perfectly for me. [04:26] * canthus13 even refreshed it twice to check. [04:26] oh, I think it's going now [04:26] it was taking FOREVER [04:26] Odd. DNS lag, mebbe. [04:26] dunno [04:27] still going -_- not up yet [04:27] that is a good idea [04:34] got to talk to my british friend tonight for a while :) it was nice [05:14] I'll have to take a closer look at quassel... finch is hanging/freezing too much :/ (but quassel is only IRC) [05:14] that stinks Unit193 [05:14] And I'm not sure if it logs/times my out!! [05:14] me* [05:19] meh, headache -_- [05:24] Unit193: irssi + bitlbee [05:24] * Unit193 can't handle irssi [05:24] Unit193: http://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.r.html [05:24] Thanks for the idea [05:24] Unit193: Irssi is awesome once you get the hang of it.. it doesn't take long. [05:25] bitlbee works with other clients as well. [05:26] * canthus13 picked up irssi in about a week. [05:26] The config file seems so large! [05:27] Ignore the config file for the moment. [05:27] most of it you'll never touch. [05:27] I've looked at the config once in 3 years. [05:28] It's like most config files in linux. there if you need it, but you'll prolly never mess with it. [05:28] my head is throbbing :( [05:28] and I'm pissy :( husband is irritating me a ton today [05:29] not pleased at this point in my evening [05:29] Take some tylenol and tie his big toes together while he's asleep. [05:29] But tie them together with a 2-3 foot long piece of twine so he doesn't notice 'til he takes a step. [05:29] canthus13: what about bitlbee-libpurple? [05:30] not sure if we have any sort of pain reliever in the house :( [05:31] Unit193: Not sure. [05:31] Cheri703: Bummer. [05:32] yeah :( [05:32] it's blood pressure related [05:32] Cheri703: in that cage. my suggestion might help... A good laugh lowers your blood pressure. :) [05:32] heh, yeah [05:33] canthus13: When I PM you, does it open in a new tab type thing? [05:33] sort of. [05:34] it'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] irssi doesn't have tabs exactl. [05:34] Cheri703: I know how it feels.. I get that occasionally. [05:34] Unit193: the first 10 channels are accesible with alt-#, /win <#> after that. [05:35] alt- scrolls you through the channels, skips over the pm windows. [05:36] "/msg nickserv" opens a new window in finch, how do I do that in irssi? [05:38] same. [05:38] most of the commands are the same. [05:41] Last one for now... how do I get a list of users on the side? [05:42] That one I'm not sure. I never liked that. I know it can be done, but it's probably a plugin. [05:45] Unit193: nicklist.pl [05:45] http://al3k.net/category/irc/ [05:46] Thanks [05:46] no prob. [05:49] I think I left the other channel... hrm [05:49] where'd you leave it? [05:50] I have no idea ;) I just did a /join and I don't see the "tab" anymore... [05:50] It's there. [05:50] see the [act: 2,3,4] (Or whatever)? [05:51] No, where would that be? [05:51] the status bar right above where you type. [05:51] could also alt- [05:52] that switches from one to the next. [05:52] "[00:52] [Unit1931(+i)] [1:freenode/#ubuntu-us-oh(+Ccgnt)]" [05:52] You're only in one channel, then. [05:52] /join #ubuntu just for fun. [05:53] Unit1931: See? [05:55] It only changes with /join channel... [05:56] Hrm. Odd. [05:56] Unit1931: [05:56] heh. [05:57] All the talking from all the channels are in the one window! [05:57] Dude. you broke it. [05:57] that's awesome. [05:57] All at the same time? [05:58] canthus13: yeah... [05:58] This is not cool.... [05:59] dpkg-reconfigure irssi? [05:59] Not sure. Never had to do it, but I'd imagine it would. [06:05] Any better? [06:05] It works now... how do I close a window/tab [06:05] ? [06:05] /wc [06:06] while in that tab. [06:06] dunno if /wc works.. never tried. [06:06] Yup. it does. :) [06:07] I'm not sure if I could get used to it... [06:08] I wasn't either. Give it a few days to grow on you. [06:09] No color? mind posting your screenshot? [06:13] Sure. [06:14] http://www.flickr.com/photos/94504880@N00/5141644024/ [06:14] I set my colors with gnome terminal, not irssi. [06:14] but you can set themes in irssi. [06:20] That looks so much better! [06:36] Heh. [07:26] You're kidding... [07:26] ? [07:27] 1:28 into Serenity... and it stoped!!! [07:27] that sucks [07:27] 1hr 28min... [07:27] that sucks [07:27] bah [07:27] out of how long? [07:28] I don't know... [07:29] They are about to crash land... (haven't you seen it?) [07:29] it's been a while [07:29] I have never... [07:29] bah, everytime I move, my head starts throbbing harder [07:30] I don't know what to say to that.... I know it's not fun... and you won't be able to sleep... [07:31] yeah, it's not so good [07:33] were you streaming serenity or was it downloaded? [07:47] Cheri703: The answer is, don't move. [07:48] yeah, working on that [07:48] am reclined and trying to avoid movement as much as possible [07:48] Hear Libya hit the 'kill switch' for the net? >.> [07:51] dang [07:53] Didn't want an Egypt infection. [07:53] Yeah, 85 dead and counting apparently with a regime in power for over 4 decades. >.> [07:53] I see a pattern here. [07:54] Yep. 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] Cheri703: both (DownloadHelper downloads streaming and makes it easier to play) [07:54] Way to dampen the mood canthus13. >.< I'm still convinced good can come of all this. [07:55] BiosElement: I'm a realist. [07:55] You can't be realistic when you look at what's happend, this is a unique event. [07:55] BiosElement: No it's not. [07:55] gotcha Unit1931 [07:55] It happens regularly in the middle east. the difference now is the level of communication available now. [07:56] Which makes it even more powerful. [07:56] No. It makes it more visible. [07:56] Well, maybe. [07:56] It may incite more violent protests and general chaos. [07:56] *shrug* [07:56] It also means more forcing democracy on people who don't want it. [07:56] I'm not saying it won't degrade, but then I think this is a possibility for change. [07:57] On some people. [07:57] But who said it'd be a democracy? [07:57] BiosElement: Nobody yet, but don't be surprised if we (and the UN) charge in and attempt to force it on them. [07:57] Hell, they're still arguing about how many people are in offices and such. [07:58] We won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. [07:58] Not egypt, no. [07:58] But the UN might decide to. [07:58] We won't touch any of them. Thankfully we're not stupid enough too. [07:58] Eh? What? [07:58] I doubt it, the UN will stay out besides for humanitarian work. [07:58] UN's generally worthless anyway. [07:59] They're good ad fucking things up and making things worse. (The Balkans, Mogadishu...) [08:00] UN 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. :| [08:01] Anyway... I'm off to bed. :P [08:01] But 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] Hah so am I ^_^ [08:02] Hell, desert storm was a complete waste thanks to the UN. :( [08:02] *yawn* anyway. more overtime tomorrow. time to sleep. [10:25] Indonesia and Turkey are counter examples to the idea that a Muslim-majority country *must* turn into a hard-right theocracy without dictatorship [22:54] Awesome news for mono fans. >.> http://gnufreex.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/wp7-walled-garden-and-mono-movement/ [22:55] BiosElement: feel like having me bug you to see if you have ideas for a program that'd help with specific needs? [22:56] Give it a shot, although I may prove ignorent. [22:56] BiosElement: dmc might want to read that [22:57] ok, 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] my 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] I dunno [22:58] Hmm, offline app I assume? [22:58] Because my first thought is just googlecal would do the trick. [22:58] ideally I think [22:58] Lemme poke around [22:58] thanks :) I'm looking too, but... [22:59] ideal would be easy to create duplicates, etc [22:59] Any decent Calendar app should be able to do repeating dates [22:59] yeah, but linking further info is where it gets wrinkly I think [23:00] like, "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 possible [23:00] trying to find a one stop solution for a bunch of things (for an accessibility thing) [23:00] Evolution should be able to handle something similer to that anyway. [23:00] hmm....k, easily? I've never been happy with evolution [23:00] Neither have I. I'm poking around to see. [23:04] Hmm, not finding much. Suprised how few gnome apps actually bother with calander stuff. [23:04] :( yeah [23:05] like 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] I like the idea of setting up the linked notes, but... [23:07] Yeah [23:36] Gah [23:36] I really forget how awesome it is to work with ubuntu folks sometimes. >.< [23:36] We have people who think the code of conduct is important, not a random document no one follows >.> [23:40] Heh. [23:41] I swear, it's not even funny. [23:41] Words cannot express how big a difference that makes heh. [23:41] Break the CoC and you'll have about 50 angry dogs at your door. >.> [23:58] Can't do *anything* useful with WGR614 router...
