[15:12]  * hypatia makes tea
[15:15] <genii-around> Apparently I'm getting my hair dyed green during lunch.
[15:20] <hypatia> yay
[15:21] <IdleOne> Good morning
[15:21] <IdleOne> is it Let's get stupid drunk and fall down day again?
[15:23] <BluesKaj> yeah it's st patrick's day , one more excuse to get hammered :)
[15:24] <BluesKaj> genii-around, stay away from "lunch"
[15:25] <genii-around> IdleOne: Apparently :) I'm getting told now that my nails will also be painted green and that i will be kidnapped after work and forced to drink green beer
[15:26] <BluesKaj> genii-around, as long as "they pay"...who cares?  :)
[15:26] <IdleOne> I hope these threats are being made to you by someone who you wish was going to do this to you anyway
[15:28] <genii-around> IdleOne: Heh, yes :)
[15:28] <IdleOne> have fun, be careful, protect yourself at all times :)
[15:29] <IdleOne> Note to self: Self do not go out tonight. Remember the last time you "celebrated" St Patrick's day.
[15:34] <Amgine_> <selects an interesting and time-involving task to avoid much of the Irish-conquered world for the day>
[15:38]  * dscassel is wearing his usual blue jeans and black t-shirt and is a bit of a party-pooper.
[15:49]  * BluesKaj doesn't celebrate st paddy's day , even tho most irish have viking ancestry:)
[15:58] <Amgine_> Will be testing netbook ubuntu; Client is looking at using cheap netbooks as a survey platform for portable web-based surveys. Anyone have suggestions for OS/hardware? Basically, something to run a web browser.
[16:00] <BluesKaj> cheap netbooks , that's an oxymoron , the equivalent priced laptops have many more features and newer HW
[16:01] <Amgine_> $219
[16:01] <BluesKaj> Amgine_, I hate to say this , but that sounds like the new dev chrome OS might be a fit
[16:02] <BluesKaj> Amgine_, where , got a url ?
[16:02] <Amgine_> eeew... but you may be right.
[16:02] <genii-around> Well, lunchtime. See you guys later.
[16:02] <Amgine_> NCIX, if I buy all 100 of them there.
[16:03] <BluesKaj> ok a multi-item discount
[16:03] <Amgine_> Acer Aspire One, D255E. Normally $229.
[16:03] <Amgine_> (I think N455)
[16:04] <Amgine_> Almost as cheap as my scientific calculator way back when...
[16:11] <BluesKaj> Amgine_, amazon.com ..will they sell you directly without using amazon.ca where the price is 100bucks more ...this is the ripoff I'm referring to.
[16:12] <Amgine_> Urgh! yes... Why do corporations tend to think we're all stupid?
[16:14] <BluesKaj> well the canadian dollar is sto=ill 67cents in their currency exchange price lists
[16:14] <BluesKaj> err still
[16:16] <Amgine_> <snorts> Was at a bookstore the other day, sticker over the barcode priced $22.95, under the sticker Canadian price $16.95, US price $13.95
[16:16] <Amgine_> The book was *printed in Canada*.
[16:17] <Amgine_> I hate book publishers...
[16:18] <BluesKaj> so how are you gonna get around the canadian price for those netbooks , Amgine_ ?
[16:19] <Amgine_> NCIX in Canada, if I can convince the client to buy 'em.
[16:19] <Amgine_> They, btw, will sell the netbooks without Windows.
[16:20] <Amgine_> okay, netbook ubuntu test flash drive installed, time to try it.

[17:58] <Amgine_> BluesKaj: Everything seems to work as planned. Now, how do I disable the very pretty Unity interface, and start FF in kiosk on startup?
[17:59] <BluesKaj> sorry Amgine_ , I'm not a gnome fan/user , strictly kde here
[17:59] <BluesKaj> Amgine_, the guys at #ubuntu can probly help
[18:00] <Amgine_> <nods> Thanks BluesKaj!
[18:03] <genii-around> ♩ It's not easy being green ♩  < me hums >
[18:35] <bregma> so, is it a lime green, and atomic green, or more of a viridian?
[18:37] <genii-around> Sort of an astro-turf green :)
[18:38] <genii-around> The fingernail polish might be more of a neon or lime green I guess
