| androidbruce | hello all how goes it | 01:34 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | hi androidbruce | 01:36 |
| valorie | contemplating the purchase of a phone | 01:36 |
| valorie | has to be verizon, and work in Europe | 01:37 |
| valorie | which narrows my possibilities greatly | 01:38 |
| valorie | thunderbolt and droid2, I guess | 01:43 |
| valorie | grrrr, flash sites..... | 01:44 |
| androidbruce | valorie: if you're getting a phone now, it's gotta be the thunderbolt | 01:49 |
| androidbruce | there is really nothing that compares | 01:49 |
| valorie | you've seen and used one? | 01:50 |
| androidbruce | yes | 01:50 |
| valorie | and the lack of a keyboard isn't a lack? | 01:51 |
| androidbruce | i used it the day it released | 01:51 |
| valorie | I should have known | 01:51 |
| valorie | lol | 01:51 |
| androidbruce | well I suppose if you aren't used to an onscreen keyboard it would be tough | 01:51 |
| valorie | I've not used a smartphone, | 01:51 |
| androidbruce | but that's many users | 01:51 |
| valorie | so everything will be new to me | 01:51 |
| androidbruce | right so you have many many hurdles to jump over | 01:51 |
| androidbruce | just go for it | 01:51 |
| valorie | if I'm going to Europe this summer though | 01:51 |
| valorie | I thought getting the phone now, and getting used to it | 01:52 |
| androidbruce | yes | 01:52 |
| valorie | would be a good idea | 01:52 |
| androidbruce | and you have 14 days to 'test drive' it | 01:52 |
| androidbruce | plus android is all linux based. so you'll be right at home ;) | 01:52 |
| valorie | sort of | 01:52 |
| androidbruce | indeed | 01:53 |
| valorie | I listen to people talk about it though, and it's all new stuff | 01:53 |
| valorie | all ARM, right? | 01:53 |
| androidbruce | of course, all android devices are arm based | 01:53 |
| valorie | ok, this is all new language | 01:53 |
| androidbruce | yeah | 01:53 |
| valorie | I hear people talk about ARM, but have ignored it up to now | 01:53 |
| valorie | I guess i should pay attention | 01:53 |
| androidbruce | well in all reality you would not really need to know that it's arm based as an end user | 01:54 |
| androidbruce | but for development you would have to know how to compile for arm | 01:54 |
| valorie | sure, but eventually I'll be putting KDE on it | 01:54 |
| valorie | lol | 01:54 |
| androidbruce | i.e. kernels | 01:54 |
| androidbruce | lol | 01:54 |
| androidbruce | i'm not sure which is funnier, kde or putting kde on an android device ;) | 01:54 |
| valorie | one of our kubuntu devels is the ARM guy for ubuntu | 01:54 |
| * androidbruce is a gnome fanboy | 01:54 | |
| valorie | hehe | 01:55 |
| valorie | I've always preferrred kde | 01:55 |
| valorie | but I'm not religious about it | 01:55 |
| valorie | some gnome apps are better | 01:55 |
| valorie | so do you have gnome running on your droid? | 01:55 |
| androidbruce | lol no way | 01:56 |
| androidbruce | not sure it's possible | 01:56 |
| androidbruce | and i have a g2 | 01:56 |
| androidbruce | ;) | 01:56 |
| androidbruce | we can talk more about this later, time to 'punch out' | 01:57 |
| androidbruce | have a good night | 01:57 |
| valorie | niters | 01:58 |
| valorie | androidbruce: I took your advice, and now have a shiny new thunderbolt | 04:19 |
| valorie | now to figure out how to get IRC on it, etc. | 04:19 |
| === ac7ss_ is now known as ac7ss | ||
| Navion | Anyone know someone that has experience with Ubuntu on Mac Minis? | 15:16 |
| Navion | Is there a live person here? | 15:24 |
