| KB1JWQ | iheartubuntu: Yeah, I've had issues getting 11.04 to behave in an OpenVZ container, I've had to tweak the heck out of my build scripts thus far. | 00:06 |

| nhaines | iheartubuntu: if you're going to do something like that, may as well do it in a foreign country anyway. :) | 00:11 |
| iheartubuntu | :D | 00:21 |
| kevin4942941 | what happens in some other city than your own, stays in some other city than your own...unless you feel like talking about it | 00:25 |
| nhaines | I like this one. http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=828 | 00:45 |
| akk | ubuntu uses pantone colors? 8-| | 00:46 |
| nhaines | akk: well, the branding guidelines and brandmarks do specify Pantone colors. | 00:46 |
| kevin4942941 | anybody want to try the game i programmed? | 02:04 |

| iheartubuntu | do the numbers signify anything? | 02:37 |
| iheartubuntu | how to open a potato chip bag in the library very quietly? :) | 02:38 |
| pleia2 | iheartubuntu: just do it quickly :) | 02:44 |
| iheartubuntu | yes, i would have to buy the bag made out of kevlar | 02:46 |
| iheartubuntu | first photo of mercury from orbit http://www.space.com/11254-nasa-photos-mercury-orbit-messenger-spacecraft.html | 02:48 |
| iheartubuntu | i wonder how long it took to send the image | 02:50 |
| iheartubuntu | An interesting read on being "Happy or Right." http://mhall119.com/2011/03/happy-vs-right/ | 02:53 |
| iheartubuntu | akk, did you see: first photo of mercury from orbit http://www.space.com/11254-nasa-photos-mercury-orbit-messenger-spacecraft.html | 02:53 |
| akk | I did! Very good resolution already! | 02:54 |
| iheartubuntu | any idea how long it took to beam the images? | 02:54 |
| akk | No, don't know (good question, though). I know spacecraft links are usually pretty slow -- might be an hour or several. | 02:55 |
| akk | http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1103/17messenger/ has some good details | 02:58 |
| akk | Several powerpc processors, data rates between 104kbps and 9.9bps (right, no k in there) depending on distance. | 02:59 |
| akk | They're nearly at opposition (as close as they get) now, so data rate should be near the top of that range. | 03:00 |
| kevin5949173 | iheartubuntu: cool link on "happy vs right" | 03:08 |
| akk | I'm with mhall on that. | 03:11 |
| kevin5949173 | oh, he had an opinion? | 03:11 |
| akk | I thought the article was pretty clear on that. You didn't? | 03:11 |
| kevin5949173 | oh yeah, "if i'm wrong point it out if i'm factually or provably wrong" | 03:12 |
| akk | "I came to the conclusion that I’d rather be right than happy." That seems very clear. | 03:12 |
| akk | I've known people who lived in fantasy worlds ... I wouldn't want to be them, and in the end they didn't end up happy because too many things clashed. | 03:13 |
| kevin5949173 | yeah, but then he says "if i'm wrong, tell me" | 03:13 |
| kevin5949173 | i think that threw me off...that is neither right or happy | 03:14 |
| kevin5949173 | it could be argued everyone lives in a fantasy world | 03:14 |
| kevin5949173 | death for example | 03:14 |
| akk | "If I'm wrong, tell me" means if you're discussing something with him (not necessarily that topic) and he's wrong, he wants to be corrected | 03:14 |
| kevin5949173 | but i see your point...too much fantasy is bad...but fantasy keep it interesting | 03:14 |
| akk | because he won't be happy staying wrong. | 03:14 |
| akk | He wants to be shown the details that show he's wrong, if he is. | 03:15 |
| kevin5949173 | if he is capable of being happy, sure, i would agree | 03:15 |
| kevin5949173 | i mean, there are probably some terrible things one could be told, and upon hearing them, only a deluded fool would stay happy | 03:16 |
| akk | Yes, it's true. There are occasionally things one is better off not knowing. | 03:16 |
| kevin5949173 | unless they would find out anyway, it may be better to know asap | 03:17 |
| kevin5949173 | but then it's like predestination...or is the future changeable | 03:17 |
| kevin5949173 | anyway, yeah, i agree with him | 03:17 |
| akk | I'm not sure I necessarily need to be told every true-but-depressing fact in the world | 03:18 |
| kevin5949173 | i do, i want to see things as they are...maybe there's something that can be done | 03:18 |
| akk | but if I'm spouting information that's provably wrong, I definitely want to be corrected (hopefully politely). | 03:18 |
| akk | Two different issues. | 03:18 |
| kevin5949173 | they are interconnected | 03:19 |
| kevin5949173 | like everything | 03:19 |
| akk | sure, but that doesn't mean the answer is necessarily the same for both. | 03:19 |
| kevin5949173 | i am not following you on the different issues, i thought you were talking about "something being done (hope)" and "seeing things as they are" | 03:19 |
| akk | Probably time to drop this. We're way off topic, and I don't think I could be any clearer on my position anyway (and I thought mhall was very clear too). | 03:20 |
| kevin5949173 | hehe okay | 03:21 |
| kevin5949173 | why did you laugh, moron? | 03:27 |
| kevin5949173 | i don't know! i just typed whatever! | 03:27 |

| slick666 | lol | 05:26 |
| slick666 | how goes it | 05:26 |
| pleia2 | good :) in town soon? | 05:26 |
| slick666 | well I'm in Cali right now but down in SoCal | 05:26 |
| pleia2 | cool | 05:26 |
| slick666 | I'll be in your nexk of the woods about a week from now | 05:27 |
| slick666 | I was hoping there would be a Global Jam event happening down here in LA but it doesn't look like there is anything going on | 05:27 |
| slick666 | you guys have plans up there in the bay area? | 05:27 |
| pleia2 | yeah, jono is doing one near his place on friday, jdeslip and I are hosting one in berkeley on sunday | 05:28 |
| slick666 | you planning on going to any? | 05:29 |
| pleia2 | just the one in berkeley, have to work on friday | 05:29 |
| pleia2 | we'll be doing xubuntu iso testing! | 05:29 |
| * pleia2 picked up a couple usb sticks today | 05:30 | |
| slick666 | nice | 05:30 |
| slick666 | cool, what did you get for USB drives? | 05:30 |
| pleia2 | just a couple 4G sticks to do live iso testing on netbooks | 05:30 |
| slick666 | nice | 05:31 |
| slick666 | your doing Xubuntu testing with them? | 05:31 |
| pleia2 | yep | 05:31 |
| pleia2 | also, we're doing it at a pizzeria, yay pizza! | 05:32 |
| slick666 | lol, nice | 05:34 |
| slick666 | have you guys been looking at Lubuntu? | 05:34 |
| pleia2 | I haven't tried it yet | 05:35 |
| slick666 | its been a few months since I've looked | 05:35 |
| slick666 | it claims to be smaller that xubuntu after it's been de-ubuntu-ified | 05:35 |
| pleia2 | yeah, xubuntu these days tends to be almost as heavy as gnome out of the box | 05:36 |
| pleia2 | it's far more customizable though, so that's the major reason I use it | 05:37 |
| slick666 | I've been a big fan | 05:41 |
| slick666 | but I tend to lighten it up after I get it going | 05:41 |
| pleia2 | yeah, same | 05:41 |
| pleia2 | http://princessleia.com/images/MyImages/screen/xubuntu_desktop_03202011.jpg is my netbook | 05:42 |
| pleia2 | desktop is similar | 05:42 |
| slick666 | sweet | 05:42 |
| pleia2 | all deubuntuified ;) | 05:42 |
| slick666 | I've been trying the GLX dock | 05:44 |
| pleia2 | I've been quite happy with the panel | 05:45 |
| slick666 | nice | 05:46 |
| slick666 | I'll shoot you a e-mail when I get to town | 05:47 |
| pleia2 | sounds good :) | 05:47 |
| slick666 | good luck with the xubuntu testing | 05:47 |
| pleia2 | thanks! | 05:47 |
| slick666 | I'll let you know if I find anything in LA | 05:47 |
| pleia2 | hope you have a nice time in socal | 05:47 |
| slick666 | the weather is way better than KC so I call it a sucess :D | 05:48 |
| slick666 | later liz | 05:48 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 05:49 |
| pleia2 | later :) | 05:49 |
| kevin5949173 | hmmm, nothing in so cal, i'd do something, even if it was just at a local coffee shop, but that weekend isn't good for me. friend's birthday, potential girlfriend | 06:13 |
| kevin5949173 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9exdLBS6Y7A&feature=player_embedded video on the tipitaka | 06:16 |
| kevin5949173 | "mind more reliable than a book if used properly" | 06:18 |
| slick666 | yea I understand that | 06:25 |
| slick666 | I'll be hanging out in Santa Monica this weekend | 06:26 |
| slick666 | so maybe I'll shot this question to the mailing list | 06:26 |
| kevin5949173 | oh, dang it, sorry, that video was for another channel | 06:27 |
| slick666 | I was wondering how it related to the prevous conversation | 06:29 |
| kevin5949173 | again, my apologies | 06:32 |

| pleia2 | kdub: gui or cli? | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | I haven't tried the gui one | 19:42 |
| nhaines | Ooh, when did Debian get a graphical installer? | 19:42 |
| pleia2 | lenny | 19:43 |
| pleia2 | I don't know if they changed it at all for squeeze, I never used it for lenny either :) | 19:43 |
| nhaines | :) | 19:43 |
| kdub | pleia2: ncurses is the only real way :D | 19:44 |
| kdub | i just liked the rocketship picture on the selection menu | 19:45 |
| pleia2 | I'm not really a fan, I have to give this installer to customers, it looks a bit cutesy :\ | 19:46 |
| pleia2 | I mean, personally - woo cute! but professionally, not so much | 19:47 |
| pleia2 | although, the other day I was able to identify whether they had to right iso (they had a bunch of old burned isos around) by asking if there was a spaceship on the screen :) | 19:48 |
| nhaines | :D | 19:51 |
| iheartubuntu | For those that placed an Ubuntu Store order with me recently, I was just alerted that the package was delivered, so all items will go out tomorrow and Friday. | 20:02 |
