[01:19] <Jay-Cee> Takyoji, will you be attending the release party April 30th?
[01:19] <Takyoji> Location?
[01:20] <Jay-Cee> in the cities, i think hopkins
[01:20] <Takyoji> Perhaps
[01:20] <Jay-Cee> from what i remember your located in faribault, i'm heading up from owatonna, if you want to hitch a ride
[01:23] <Jay-Cee> just thought I would offer
 I wonder what would be a reasonable means of having a series of sensors, go to an Arduino board, and have the output given over RS232 to a desktop.
 Moreso, the part doing with sensors and the Arduino board.
 Mainly, for a series of fish tanks, for simple analytics such as: temperature, water clarity/color, waterlevel, etc
 Where all I can think of are thermoresistors for temperature, and a series of white LEDs with color filters, and photoconductor.
 and everything of the above would be a matter of measuring resistance; I suppose. I'm relatively stupid with making something hardware-wise that's actually useful. xP
[04:17] <tonyyarusso> RS232?  What century is this?
[04:17] <tonyyarusso> But yes, you could certainly do this with Arduino, but heck if I know how.  -offtopic might.
[18:24] <damian> So who else is thinking about moving away from gnome because of Unity and Gnome3?
[20:52] <ColinHarrington> I think that unity will be an awesome default for the beginner crowd.  I'm not sold yet.  I have my Gnome desktop setup humming and going really well for my own development.
[20:52] <ColinHarrington> I'm a little concerned that Unity isn't going to be as configurable as what I currently have.
[20:52] <ColinHarrington> But we'll see
[20:53] <ColinHarrington> but, I'm a power user and a developer, I have tons of stuff running on my machine all the time.
[21:31] <rlaager> Is there an Ubuntu release that does not include "classic GNOME" yet? (I'm still on Lucid.) Until that happens, I'm not going to worry about it too much.
[21:35] <tonyyarusso> rlaager: Nope, and it won't happen anytime soon.  Unity requires 3D acceleration support in the graphics driver, and many users do not have that.
