[03:07] <iheartubuntu> My brother just got a hold of me is doing pretty good. He moved his wife and elderly mom to his brother in laws house in Osaka.
[03:15] <iheartubuntu> He also sent me some articles about a seismologist who predicted the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. The new prediction is for California from March 19 to March 26. He is basing this on a few factors:
[03:16] <iheartubuntu> #1- the moon is at its closest approach in many years to earth, #2- the equinoctial tide bringing together three of the maximum tide raising forces  and #3- the strange movement of fish, birds and whales around Southern California.
[03:17] <iheartubuntu> If you recall there were billions of dead fish washing ashore in Redondo Beach this past week and also reports of whales close to shore in SD
[03:19] <iheartubuntu> wouldnt be a bad idea to have a bottle of water and an energy bar nearby
[03:54] <iheartubuntu> akk did i read u are into genealogy
[03:54] <akk> iheartubuntu: No, though I have several friends who are.
[03:55] <akk> My family tree resists genealogy; three of my four grandparents are basically untraceable.

[08:11] <iheartubuntu> but once i switch emails i may not need gmail
[08:12] <iheartubuntu> i do like evolution
[08:12] <philipballew> what do you like about evolution?
[08:12] <iheartubuntu> has my contacts
[08:12] <iheartubuntu> has tasks
[08:12] <iheartubuntu> my calendar is synced up in it
[08:12] <philipballew> hum. you cant do that in gmail?
[08:12] <iheartubuntu> i can see all my email accts and pick separeate sigs for each
[08:12] <philipballew> or you just have used it so you orefer it?
[08:12] <iheartubuntu> i can but
[08:13] <iheartubuntu> i just use gmail for now
[08:14] <iheartubuntu> plus i can pgp emails with evolution
[08:14] <philipballew> i found a cool app that makes mailto links online open up my gmail account ready to type. its super nice
[08:14] <philipballew> i have never really done pgp. what do you do it for?
[08:15] <iheartubuntu> like if you dont want the gov to know you are emailing your brother about the weather
[08:15] <iheartubuntu> i dont know :)
[08:16] <philipballew> yeah. if only my freidns even knew what encryption means. they think linux is the green party of computers
[08:16] <philipballew> actual qoute to
[08:17] <iheartubuntu> ive had people tell me linux is for pron
[08:17] <iheartubuntu> at first i actually thought so!
[08:17] <iheartubuntu> until i got a livecd working
[08:17] <iheartubuntu> then it was jsut a kick ass OS
[08:17] <iheartubuntu> i have one brother in my fam i cannot convert
[08:20] <philipballew> my family conist of my father who says i use my computer for weird things (normal is using internet explorer and outlook) and a mother running xp, i swear i fix that thing everytime i am home. then a brother whos a graphic design photo major with the macbook
[08:21] <philipballew> i booted it up and decided this is better then the pirated version of windows i had and wanted a chalenge and found it to work really well
[08:21] <iheartubuntu> im guessing they dont teach linux for graphic design majors
[08:22] <philipballew> my schools graphic design classroom is about 30 snow leapord macs
[08:22] <philipballew> i must say though. i like the screen size
[08:22] <iheartubuntu> what size?
[08:22] <philipballew> 20 something i belive
[08:23] <iheartubuntu> i just snaked a 22" from the front office at my work and use it at my desk now. love it!!!
[08:23] <philipballew> NICE. i need to buy a new monitor. my boat anchor of a monitor broke last week :(
[08:24] <philipballew> creigs list is gonna be my friend
[08:24] <iheartubuntu> frys?
[08:24] <iheartubuntu> they have some dirt cheap stuff there
[08:24] <iheartubuntu> i think this 22" was like $130
[08:24] <iheartubuntu> no name
[08:24] <iheartubuntu> who cares
[08:24] <iheartubuntu> its huge compared to what i was using
[08:25] <iheartubuntu> im trying to hook my dad up with a new HP slimsize desktop.. $550 comes with 21" monitor
[08:25] <philipballew> for sure. i might be looking at the 50 and under range. college has made me cashed strapped. where would you get that?
[08:25] <iheartubuntu> sys76 is out of the question now. they want $1000 for less than the HP, plus the Sys76 doesnt even come with a monitor
[08:26] <iheartubuntu> i as just at costco... $550
[08:26] <iheartubuntu> with monitor
[08:26] <iheartubuntu> was an AMD chip
[08:26] <philipballew> i like that store. how do you feel about amd?
[08:26] <iheartubuntu> intel chip, same computer on HP website was $600
[08:26] <philipballew> bought a flash drive there
[08:26] <iheartubuntu> personally ive never owned amd
[08:26] <philipballew> 16 gigs
[08:27] <philipballew> i have a desktop running a old 64 proccessor
[08:27] <iheartubuntu> but i resurrected an AMD at work recently.... only 500mb RAM but the thing flies with ubuntu 10/10 on it
[08:27] <iheartubuntu> im impressed
[08:27] <iheartubuntu> can even do supertuxkart
[08:28] <philipballew> i have that on my desktop thats unreachable now. it flys really fast and only has a gig
[08:30] <philipballew> supertux cart has a new version
[08:30] <iheartubuntu> i love it
[08:30] <iheartubuntu> too bad it isnt multiplayer yet
[08:30] <iheartubuntu> online
[08:32] <philipballew> i like mario cart with my n64 emmulator personally thing
[08:32] <philipballew> it runs well
[08:32] <iheartubuntu> serious
[08:32] <philipballew> yes sir
[08:32] <iheartubuntu> which emulator
[08:32] <iheartubuntu> i need to find the rom file or whatever its called for mario cart
[08:32] <iheartubuntu> never played it
[08:33] <philipballew> i think its called mupen64plus.
[08:33] <philipballew> it works really well]
[08:33] <philipballew> it might be in the software center. i compiled it before it was
[08:34] <iheartubuntu> for ubuntu
[08:35] <iheartubuntu> i see it
[08:35] <philipballew> yes, i compiled it for ubuntu. yes i see it to
[08:35] <iheartubuntu> have the rom by any chance? or a good site with n64 roms?
[08:37] <philipballew> well i cant really say that over irc
[08:37] <iheartubuntu> :)
[08:37] <iheartubuntu> i'll look
[08:37] <philipballew> im free to email and facebook im if you need
[08:38] <philipballew> but if we hook up ever ill give you all minbe
[08:38] <philipballew> 9gigs aprox
[08:39] <iheartubuntu> minbe?
[08:39] <iheartubuntu> are there diff versions of mario cart?
[08:40] <philipballew> im not sure. a wikipedia acticle probably would say
[08:41] <iheartubuntu> ohhh big diff
[08:42] <iheartubuntu> theres mario cart and mario cart 64
[08:43] <philipballew> hum. future web article?
[08:47] <iheartubuntu> ok nice game
[08:47] <iheartubuntu> could be
[08:47] <iheartubuntu> but i noticed it said 1996
[08:49] <philipballew> its when it was made. i think thats the point though?
[08:51] <philipballew> theres thing called dolphin. its a cube and wii emmulator
[16:55] <MarkDude> geeknic may be a nogo
[16:55] <MarkDude> trashed my shoulder
[16:55] <MarkDude> painkillered up
[16:56] <MarkDude> We can meetup around 4 to play some games atSaxbys
[18:08] <pleia2> hope you feel better
[21:07] <Guest28722> i programmed an ubuntu vs. windows game:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/582648/
[21:21] <Guest28722> version 0.000001 >_<
[21:22] <jhana-frog> hmmm, i don't get empathy :(
[21:24] <grantbow> xchat (non gnome) is better :-)
[21:24] <jhana-frog> no way, xchat doesn't support facebook chat ;)
[21:24] <grantbow> heaven forbid! lol
[21:25] <jhana-frog> google talk?
[21:26] <grantbow> if you are doing all that you might want to run a proxy anyway
[21:26] <jhana-frog> i want to try the voice and video stuff that allegedly is supported
[21:28] <jhana-frog> maybe i can join an in person meeting that way :)
[21:28] <grantbow> xchat really is focused on IRC. I haven't tried it with other systems.
[21:29] <grantbow> pidgeon is good
[21:29] <jhana-frog> why is empathy bundled with ubuntu?
[21:29] <grantbow> good question. the IRC support hasn't been great. I hope it's improved.
[21:30] <grantbow> the reason had something to do with the back end as I recall
[21:31] <jhana-frog> i wonder if i should ask in #ubuntu-motu
[21:32] <grantbow> I see a brainstorm.ubuntu.com item on it for Ubuntu 9.10
[21:33] <jhana-frog> link?
[21:34] <grantbow> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/11705/
[21:34] <jhana-frog> 42 thanks
[21:37] <jhana-frog> telepathy.  interesting.
[21:38] <jhana-frog> oh man, if empathy supports twitter that would be...blissful
[22:09] <pleia2> if you use bitlbee than any irc client supports facebook ;)
[22:09] <pleia2> (it's what I do)
