| cloudy_nz | hello timClicks | 00:51 |
|---|---|---|
| cloudy_nz | good arvo, purserj | 01:01 |
| zapzupnz | Ah, finally all stable and set up. | 01:02 |
| zapzupnz | Hiya cloudy | 01:02 |
| cloudy_nz | what you been setting up, zapzupnz ? | 01:16 |
| zapzupnz | Just been reinstalling Mac OS X - I got the Lion developer preview, so I just finished unbacking up my documents. | 01:19 |
| zapzupnz | Despite my presence here, I don't actually run Ubuntu full time - I just use it as a server in a virtual machine, and occasionally run some X11 apps. :P | 01:20 |
| zapzupnz | I'm more interested in helping the community in other ways. | 01:20 |
| cloudy_nz | it's surprising where Apple fanboys crop up | 01:21 |
| cloudy_nz | lol | 01:21 |
| cloudy_nz | I used to work for an Apple based company | 01:22 |
| cloudy_nz | back in ye days of OS10.4 | 01:22 |
| zapzupnz | How come you call me a fanboy just because I own a Mac and prefer to run Mac OS X :( | 01:22 |
| cloudy_nz | lol | 01:22 |
| zapzupnz | I thank you not to assume my character | 01:22 |
| zapzupnz | That's rude on ANY level | 01:22 |
| cloudy_nz | & how many ipods, ipads, ibooks and iphones do you have? | 01:22 |
| cloudy_nz | hehe | 01:22 |
| zapzupnz | 1 x iMac, 1 x iPad. That's all. | 01:23 |
| cloudy_nz | lol | 01:23 |
| zapzupnz | No iBooks, because the Whitcoulls app is better. | 01:23 |
| cloudy_nz | there is nothing like being poor to make you a Linux fan | 01:23 |
| cloudy_nz | lol | 01:23 |
| zapzupnz | But that doesn't excuse you from making an assumption. | 01:23 |
| lifeless | I think he was teasing | 01:24 |
| lifeless | rather than assuming | 01:24 |
| cloudy_nz | who wouldn't like an Apple product if they could afford it? | 01:24 |
| zapzupnz | The thing about humour is that the audience needs to find it humourous, too. | 01:24 |
| * cloudy_nz definitely can't afford the Apple tax | 01:24 | |
| zapzupnz | Oh well, nevermind. | 01:25 |
| lifeless | wrong side of the bed or something | 01:25 |
| cloudy_nz | lol | 01:27 |
| cloudy_nz | how's it going, lifeless ? | 01:27 |
| lifeless | well | 01:36 |
| * ojwb could afford apple products, but chooses not to buy them | 01:38 | |
| ojwb | don't like the ultra-control apple seems to believe they should have over various things | 01:38 |
| cloudy_nz | yeah apple make great streamlined, integrated & pretty products but have a tyrannical philosophy | 01:40 |
| ojwb | on the outside | 01:40 |
| ojwb | underneath it's horrible in places | 01:40 |
| cloudy_nz | Steve Jobs is a design genius | 01:40 |
| ojwb | I've spent more time trying to sort out portability issues to OS X that any other POSIX platform | 01:40 |
| cloudy_nz | it's just a shame he's a diabolical autocrat | 01:41 |
| cloudy_nz | lol try python on a Mac | 01:41 |
| ojwb | even AIX wasn't as bad | 01:41 |
| cloudy_nz | AIX? is that one of those old platforms? | 01:42 |
| ojwb | IBM's | 01:42 |
| ojwb | not sure what its current status is | 01:42 |
| ojwb | but to give you a taste, all the files in /etc are renamed to more logical names, which is nice if you're AIX only, but insane if you need to support multiple unix flavours | 01:43 |
| ojwb | somewhere they | 01:43 |
| ojwb | blergh | 01:43 |
| ojwb | somewhere on the web there's a big table to translate all the names | 01:43 |
| ojwb | still seems to be alive - 7.1 was released sept 2010 | 01:46 |
| * cloudy_nz looks in /etc because he can't remember what's in it | 01:50 | |
| cloudy_nz | there is an IBM mainframe programmer job on Seek today, $90k! | 01:51 |
| cloudy_nz | I'd put up with a few stupid directories for that money, lol | 01:51 |
| cloudy_nz | WB zapzupnz | 02:05 |
| zapzupnz | ty | 02:05 |
| zapzupnz | Had to restart to finish the unbacking up | 02:05 |
| cloudy_nz | ah | 02:13 |
| cloudy_nz | running your own OS thingy will definitely make you a supernerd for the future | 02:14 |
| zapzupnz | My own OS thingy? | 02:15 |
| cloudy_nz | OSX? | 02:22 |
| zapzupnz | I didn't make it. :P | 02:42 |
| zapzupnz | So it can't be my own - though I'd like to be able to take credit for making an OS. >_> | 02:42 |
| zapzupnz | But I don't that day will come - I'm not motivated enough to finish projects that I start. | 02:43 |
| cloudy_nz | yes, you will have to rewrite the kernel of an OS yourself | 02:56 |
| === Hoggggs is now known as Hoggs | ||
| * hads would rather pay the equivilent for Linux than buy a Mac | 07:54 | |
| Hoggs | But linux is an OS | 09:52 |
| Hoggs | a Mac is hardware | 09:52 |
| Hoggs | :x | 09:52 |
| Hoggs | Just sayin' | 09:52 |
| hads | Yes I realise that. | 23:37 |
| hads | I stand by my comment. | 23:38 |
