dmcgloneHi all. Anyone know if ndiswrapper supports monitor drivers?04:08
Unit193dmcglone! javenm04:08
Unit193that was supposed to be "haven't seen you in a while!"04:09
Cheri703yo dmcglone04:09
Cheri703I have no clue04:10
dmcglone"haven't seen you in a while" LOL04:10
dmcgloneI've been so darn buisy lately. I just got done working on a clients computer thats running ubuntu and they got a new monitor and none of the high res are working04:11
dmcglonehighest it will go is 800zx60004:12
dmcgloneit's a 20" acer flat screen04:12
Cheri703which version of ubuntu?04:13
dmcglone9.1004:13
Cheri703that may be why04:13
Cheri703I put 10.10 on client's computer and it was very happy with the 21" screen04:13
dmcgloneAcer?04:14
Cheri703uhm, asus04:14
Cheri7039.10 may just not support bigger screens?04:14
dmcgloneNot sure. but upgrading to 10.10 is worth a shot04:15
Cheri703at least try it with a livecd04:15
dmcgloneyeah04:15
dmcgloneI didn't think about that04:15
dmcglonesmart advice :-)04:15
Cheri703hopefully it works!04:16
dmcgloneyes. I want these people to like Linux04:16
dmcgloneMy sister loves it04:17
Cheri703:)04:17
dmcgloneshe e-mailed me today telling me that she created a Diploma on her Ubuntu. (she home schools her kids)04:17
Cheri703nice!04:18
Cheri703oooo, dmcglone I meant to tell you04:18
Cheri703I have a domain for my business now :)04:18
Cheri703www.techheroohio.com04:18
dmcgloneShe's pretty happy about it04:19
dmcgloneCool04:19
Cheri703and there's another computer repair business moving into the area :(04:19
dmcglonecommercial or individual?04:19
Cheri703commercial04:19
dmcglonethey don't stand a chance if you keep your prices lower :-)04:20
Cheri703they had a job listing up, but it's super part time, need a car, but decent pay. I dunno, I'd consider it if I had a car and could still do my own thing on my off hours, but I don't think anything like that would happen :)04:20
dmcglonethey got much more overhead04:20
Cheri703also, I'm not intimidating for women clients04:20
Unit193Cheri703: What is it?04:21
Cheri703can't remember, there's a job posted on craigslist04:21
dmcglonewell if you advertise for yourself, you can get clients that they couldn't because you can keep your prices down04:22
Cheri703yeah04:22
Cheri703I'm going to go get some flyers and more business cards printed his week04:22
dmcgloneI compete with geek squad here :-/04:22
Cheri703:(04:22
Cheri703I have to get an actual website figured out, right now it's just my flyer as a placeholder04:22
dmcgloneI think geek squad is a joke04:23
Cheri703oh yeah04:23
Cheri703I have some fun links about it04:23
dmcglonewell you let me know when your ready if you want04:23
* Cheri703 is super poor04:23
dmcglonethats ok, we can work something out for you if you like04:24
Cheri703I'd definitely be up for having a website set up!04:24
Unit193How else is geek squad going to get your porn...04:25
dmcgloneThen you let me know when and show me a draft of what type of layout you would like and we'll take it from there04:26
Cheri703ok, I'll think about it and mock up something04:26
dmcgloneOk, show me as much as you can that you would like on the site04:27
Cheri703ok, I'll work on it. I appreciate it!04:27
dmcgloneNo problem.04:28
dmcglonealso let me know what you would like to have in a web package, databases? how much MB etc. etc04:29
dmcgloneftp access04:29
Cheri703hmm...not sure. I have it with my existing hosting account at this point04:29
dmcglonestuff of that nature and I'll try and cherry pick everything you want for a lower monthly cost04:30
Cheri703ok, cool04:30
dmcgloneI'm sorry, I forgot you already have hosting, so don't think I'm trying to pressure you.04:31
Cheri703nah, it's ok04:31
Cheri703if you can be cheaper, I'd go for it!04:31
Cheri703:D04:31
dmcgloneYou decide. in the meantime, we will work on your site04:31
dmcglonehow much is your hosting pacakge and what is included?04:32
Cheri703kk, thanks :) I'll start planning04:32
Cheri703it's the standard (lower) yearly package from byethost04:32
dmcglonelet me take a look04:32
dmcgloneyou only get 250GB/Mo? that sux04:34
Cheri703well, up til now, I had NO TRAFFIC to the previous site, so...wasn't exactly a big deal, didn't have much on it04:35
Cheri703so...04:35

dmcgloneMy only contribution so far is advocating the use of it04:47
Unit193dmcglone: Don't you have LP Karma?04:47

canthus13Magic.04:55
dmcgloneforce04:55

Cheri703http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81545804:56

canthus13dmcglone: xubuntu uses XFCE instead of GNOME.04:57
Unit193canthus13: Was thinking apt-cache show centrifydc04:57
canthus13edubuntu is GNOME with a bunch of educational packages.04:57
