| nealmcb | irssi is amazing - I have it running on a tired old laptop that I hardly ever use, and finally checked in this evening (from my nice fast new lemur) to see what I've missed over the weeks/months. It is still plugging along nicely. Glad to see activity every few days here.... | 05:06 |
|---|---|---|
| nealmcb | and time for the Ubuntu Global Jam!! | 05:06 |

| nealmcb | (reposted now that FunnyLookinHat is back online :) | 21:49 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Eh ? | 21:49 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Oh wow I dropped... again... lame :) | 21:50 |
| * nealmcb hasn't dropped since mid-jan..... | 21:50 | |
| FunnyLookinHat | Lemur - nice! | 21:50 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I got a thinkpad recently, and it's flying along with 10.10 | 21:50 |
| nealmcb | or at least I came back up automatically..... | 21:50 |
| nealmcb | nice | 21:50 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I'd install 11.04 but I'm waiting for the RC as I use this for work, etc. | 21:50 |
| nealmcb | 8 GB also - finally enough memory.... | 21:51 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Oh wow | 21:52 |

| FunnyLookinHat | LOL | 21:52 |
| ToyKeeper | Oops, looks like natty escaped a bit early: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/google-earth-renders-cheeky-narwhal-outside-canonicals-office/ | 22:33 |
| ToyKeeper | FunnyLookinHat: I got a thinkpad about 3 weeks ago... X201 w/ 12" 1280x800 screen, 3lbs, 2.66GHz i5 M480 dual-core CPU, 8GiB RAM, cheapo hard drive. | 22:34 |
| ToyKeeper | I'm curious what your wireless chipset is, and how well it works in Linux. The rtl8191SEvB they included by default was horrible and I had to replace it. It only worked for about 15 minutes per boot, and would hard-lock the system if I tried to recover it without rebooting. | 22:35 |
| ToyKeeper | I ended up having flash a modified BIOS so I could boot with a different wifi card, because thinkpads still have that stupid hardware lock-in whitelist. | 22:36 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Wow - that's slick | 22:41 |
| FunnyLookinHat | My wireless works great - it's the Intel Centrino wireless though - and that traditionally has worked flawlessly with Ubuntu | 22:41 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I have a T410 w/ the nVidia Optimus Graphics setup - which is a total pain because it's completely unsupported at this point, forcing me to choose to run in either Intel or nVidia mode via BIOS | 22:42 |
| ToyKeeper | Ah, okay. I should have just paid the extra $20 for an intel card, but it *looked* like the default one was supported so I didn't bother. | 22:42 |
| FunnyLookinHat | And switching it kills X and all that jazz. | 22:42 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Ah yea - I literally always go Intel for wireless because it's worth the time saved, etc. | 22:43 |
| ToyKeeper | It has a driver, and it sort of works... but it isn't expected to work reliably until at least 2.6.39, which won't be in 11.04. | 22:43 |
| FunnyLookinHat | ToyKeeper, You mean Optimus ? | 22:43 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Or your wireless? | 22:43 |
| ToyKeeper | The wireless. | 22:43 |
| FunnyLookinHat | ah | 22:43 |
| FunnyLookinHat | You got my hopes up. :) | 22:43 |
| ToyKeeper | I almost got a T410, but it would have cost more for the same specs for some reason, and although a 1440x900 screen would be nice, I decided it wasn't worth the extra 2" of bulk. | 22:44 |
| ToyKeeper | I wanted a minimum of 8GiB RAM, since I eat memory like crazy by leaving everything open all the time. | 22:45 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Ah | 22:45 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I code on this machine - and since I can't always have my 23" monitor in front of me it was worth it. | 22:45 |
| FunnyLookinHat | the 1440x900 is definitely VERY nice. Makes the screen size worth it for sure (unlike most other 14" notebooks out there) | 22:45 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I'm only at 4 GB RAM right now... I'm considering going up to 8... but so far 4 works... | 22:46 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I'm not even on x64 yet - so it'd be a waste w/ the graphics memory anyways. | 22:46 |
| ToyKeeper | I code on this one too, but I like my notebooks small. | 22:46 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Ah | 22:46 |
| FunnyLookinHat | What sort of battery life do you get with that ? | 22:46 |
| FunnyLookinHat | (on Ubuntu) | 22:46 |
| ToyKeeper | I dunno. I hardly ever use the battery. However, this one is supposedly a 6-hour battery. | 22:47 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I sprung for the 9-Cell and can get about 4-5 hours with my normal routine (browser, eclipse, etc.) | 22:47 |
| FunnyLookinHat | You gonna be at the release party ? | 22:48 |
| ToyKeeper | I'm not sure... this is the first I heard of it. | 22:48 |
| ToyKeeper | Hmm, Sunday May 2, 2010 at Bar Louie in Westminster, CO @ 5:30pm. | 22:50 |
| ToyKeeper | Most likely, yes. | 22:50 |
| ToyKeeper | ... and then UDS about a week later. | 22:50 |
| ToyKeeper | Any idea what the non-meaty food is like at Bar Louie? | 22:52 |
| ToyKeeper | Oh, wait. Wrong year. | 22:53 |
| ToyKeeper | When/where is this year's party? | 22:53 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Hah | 22:55 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Sunday May 1st at Hanson's Pub | 22:55 |
| FunnyLookinHat | in Wash Park on Old Pearl St. | 22:55 |
| FunnyLookinHat | err - Pearl St. | 22:55 |
| FunnyLookinHat | You're going to UDS? I didn't know you were involved in Ubuntu dev. | 22:56 |
| ToyKeeper | I wasn't really, until about a month ago. | 22:57 |
| FunnyLookinHat | hah! | 22:58 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Nice :) | 22:58 |
| ToyKeeper | Hmm, looks like someone finally set my cloak. It works a little weird though; gotta leave and re-join channels to make it take effect. | 23:07 |
| ToyKeeper | There, that's better. | 23:07 |
