[02:34] <jdeslip> Ya, I think I have to work too :(
[04:13] <dbb> hello- I have ubuntu 10.10, and an application I run just posted a nice notification of an upgrade. I could swear it had a link on it.. you know, pops up in the lower right hand corner.. where do I find that? it only lasted a moment
[04:13] <dbb> there must be a list of recent notifications somewhere?

[06:14] <seiuno> pleia2: have you heard of "Banksy"?  http://www.ifc.com/news/assets_c/02012011_banksy1.jpg
[17:42] <seiuno> open letter to steve jobs:  http://underlore.com/TBA/?p=1586
[17:44] <akk> 503 Service Unavailable
[17:44] <akk> slashdotted?
[17:50] <seiuno> works here
[17:51] <seiuno> :|
[17:51] <seiuno> too bad, it was an interesting read.  very passionate.
[18:23] <nhaines> akk: try again.  it works here.
[18:24] <jtatum> uh
[18:24] <jtatum> this letter is sickening
[18:24] <jtatum> i can't abide someone being overjoyed by cancer
[18:28] <nhaines> Hmm, having read the letter I'm not sure the author actually supports his point in any way.
[18:31] <pleia2> tl;dr
[18:31] <pleia2> (but mostly for me life is too short to dwell upon such hatred)
[18:32] <pleia2> and apple bashing is dull
[18:34] <pleia2> nhaines: is http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events/ubucon done enough to be linked places?
[18:34] <akk> I agree, jtatum. I did get it a little later, but got turned off right away by that part.
[18:36] <akk> And after that it looked like it was flying off into rantville, so I gave up and went inside and started making rouladen instead.
[18:40] <jledbetter> +1 jtatum

[18:46] <seiuno> sickening?  that's hyperbolic.
[18:47] <seiuno> Bahrain is sickening.  the letter is titillating at worst.
[18:48] <seiuno> back to our dull, mundane lives.
[18:48]  * seiuno eats a rich, fatty, sugary food
[18:53] <akk> titillating? "pleasantly and superficially exciting"? "sexually arousing"?
[18:53] <akk> I guess I gave up before I got to that part of the letter.
[18:53] <seiuno> stimulating then
[18:54] <seiuno> "sensually exciting" according to wiktionary
[18:54] <seiuno> not "supeficially exciting"
[18:54] <seiuno> though, perhaps all "excitement" is "superficial"
[18:55] <akk> I used dict and took the two two definitions from wordnet and gcide.
[18:55] <seiuno> that's nice
[18:55] <akk> But regardless, you're clearly having a very different reaction to the letter than most folks here.
[18:55] <seiuno> that is obvious.
[18:56]  * seiuno pumps his fist
[18:56] <seiuno> "status quo!"
[18:57] <akk> Yes, clearly the only two choices are the status quo or gleefully rejoicing in someone's sickness and death.
[18:57] <akk> Certainly no one here working productively for change, like, say, contributing to free software projects.
[18:58]  * akk wanders off to do more of that
[18:59] <jledbetter> Some of us have had loved ones die to cancer so wouldn't wish it on anyone.
[18:59] <seiuno> "gleeful rejoicing" is a misrepresentation of the article
[19:01] <seiuno> saying he wishes cancer on someone is also a misrepresenation
[19:01]  * seiuno shrugs
[19:01] <jledbetter> I'm done.
[19:03] <seiuno> i've had loved ones die.  death's inevitably is highly probable.  mirrors cause anger.
[19:06] <seiuno> heh
[19:25] <nhaines> pleia2: as finished as anything else.  The official site isn't coming together as quickly as I'd hoped and I may not have it done until Monday or Tuesday.
[19:31] <pleia2> nhaines: ok thanks, was just blogging about it and was curious, went ahead and blogged w/ that schedule
