[00:09] I'm not sure whether or not I approve of this dark scrollbar that's exclusive to GNOME Terminal. [02:56] knock knock? [02:56] hello world [02:57] crashsystems did u ever figure out dreamweaver [02:58] It has been many, many years since I've bothered to touch dreamweaver. I think you've got the wrong person. [02:58] ohh maybe :| [02:58] * iheartubuntu1 hits head on desk [02:58] here is my almost final flyer for Ubuntu Hour coming up in Pasadena http://ubuntuone.com/p/mBE/ [02:59] I want to start posting these tomorrow [02:59] does anyone have any final recommendations/ [02:59] still not sure on the "open" line [02:59] https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/04/eff-san-francisco-entertainment-commission-don-t [03:00] nhaines suggested "OPEN - easy to access your data" or something to that effect [03:00] EFF was at scale9x [03:01] they are also helping a fellow urban home blogger out down here in LA [03:01] another blogger trademarked the term "urban homestead" and this other blogger had already written a book "urban homesteading" [03:01] now EFF is stepping in to help the authors of the book [03:02] the blgoger family that trademarked urban homestead has sent out cease and desist letters to those who have used the urban homesteading words [03:03] ---- [03:03] -_- [03:03] ice cream truck... I've not heard one of those in years [03:03] regarding my flyer, im also thinking about making it more generic, but then it will be harder to find the particular event [03:04] something more generic like directing people to go to the Ubuntu Hour main site, and then they would have to search for a local event themselves [03:05] We still have people pushing ice cream carts in this neighborhood (as well as a truck that drives around). [03:05] I'd never seen the hand-carts anywhere else I've lived. [03:06] i like listening to Dr. Katherine Albrecht. She wrote a book called Spychips. Interesting read. Talking about how everything is going RFID [03:07] 4 years ago she was talking about NYC taxi drivers didnt want RFID badges, now its coming [03:08] Its the first step towards everyone having some form of RFID that can be scanned for paying for food, for getting a paycheck, a welfare check, etc. Next you'll need an RFID drivers licence to get in your own car [03:09] I'm kind of surprised drivers licenses haven't gone RFID yet. I keep expecting it to happen (and dreading it). [03:10] or iris scan [03:11] someplace i saw the military is now scanning the irises of all killed people in the various wars going on to create a database [03:12] another war and its going to look like we are the aggressors [03:13] A database of dead people's irises? What good is that? [03:14] the only thing i can think of is to confirm some of the particular taliban or al-CIAda rebels are dead for sure based on a database already in place? [03:15] they would be matching up irises like they do fingerprints === seidos is now known as |-|obbes === |-|obbes is now known as kehbo3921 === kehbo3921 is now known as kehbo5220-dead === kehbo5220-dead is now known as kevinif === kevinif is now known as kevin7060 [19:17] do we have any chess players here? [19:17] i've dabbled [19:18] oh ay, iheartubuntu #ubuntu-classroom has a class on python multimedia if you're interested [19:19] is kevin7060 aka seidos [19:19] no time :( [19:20] i want to pick up some chess strategies before i head into the weekend and play against some new friends. the guy thinks im an expert :) and i havent played chess for years :) [19:20] I've played some, but forgotten most of what I knew. [19:21] im quickly trying to find some good opening moves and gain some knowledge on controlling the middle of the game [19:21] was never expert level [19:21] i was never any good :) backgammon is my game [19:21] Books -- "How to open a chess game" and "logical chess, move by move" are great. === kevin7060 is now known as seidos [19:23] i just played against glchess on easy [19:23] id never heard of the "En Passant" move [19:23] castling, yeah... en passant no [19:24] what are you playing for? fun? bragging rights? $$$? [19:24] fun [19:24] You're gonna want to know all the rules if you want to keep up your "expert" reputation. :) [19:24] but i hyped myself u pa bit :) [19:24] now this guy thinks he has a real challenge ahead of him [19:24] en passant, never used it, never had it used on me [19:24] every time he emails me he "awaits our glorious chess battle" [19:24] * erichammond has a UCSF rating (not spectacular). [19:25] i guess im better at bluffing :) [19:25] what is UCSF rating? [19:25] oh, interesting [19:25] US Chess Federation. [19:25] US Chess Federation [19:25] ohh wow! [19:25] that would be USCF, not UCSF [19:25] Expert means 2000-2200 IIRC. [19:25] My son played chess competitively when he was 8-9. Did well at nationals: Played to a draw against the national champion. [19:26] yah, uscf [19:26] * akk had a provisional 1385 rating once, long long ago [19:26] though, i heard UCSF has a medicine track, and Berkeley does not [19:26] i have never been rated, and i'm pretty sure i can only stalemate gnuchess [19:27] so how do i gain some skills before the weekend? [19:27] play glchess on easy [19:27] book and playing [19:27] im on GNU chess server right now [19:27] i dont think there is an easy option [19:27] iheartubuntu: Play lots of short games on http://www.freechess.org [19:27] oh you're on the server? [19:27] speed chess [19:27] and watch how other people beat you. [19:28] read introductory books [19:28] You aren't going to convince anyone you're an expert player by just playing on your own -- gotta study some openings. [19:28] that's what is so great about playing against the computer :) [19:28] hire a tutor [19:28] You'll at least need to know the Ruy Lopez and Sicilian. [19:28] analyze the computers move [19:28] you can even play against yourself [19:29] apostrophe fail [19:29] if heard of the sicilian and also the english opening [19:29] * seidos whips himself with a wet noodle [19:29] let me try to find you on the server iheartubuntu [19:29] i don't have glchess installed presently [19:29] im on the ggzgamingzone built into glchess [19:30] yeah, i've played that a few times with a friend [19:30] his internet persona is presently dead however [19:30] i think u can type in any name [19:31] maybe im bluffing and waiting to trump seidos right now ;) [19:31] that wouldn't surprise me, really [19:31] HAHA [19:31] actually. im no good really [19:31] if you trump me, i'll start calling you "the donald" [19:31] i need to learn [19:32] me too, i've lost way too many times [19:32] dad taught me long ago, but one of my brothers who lived in greece picked up backgammon there and bought me a board and ive been hooked on backgammon since i was a kid [19:32] my cousin taught me i think [19:37] seidos and are in in a game in glchess [19:45] pleia2: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/presentations/finding-help-ubuntu [19:49] DarkwingDuck: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/presentations/your-guide-kubuntu [20:10] cool a video! [20:10] uncool, the stark lighting [20:15] well, it's still nice to hear the voice of fellow ubuntu knight while i play chess to stalemate [20:16] has it timed out? [20:16] i got a chess crash error [20:17] i think you'll have to undo a move again [20:17] ohh well [20:17] i would have lost [20:18] no, it would have been a stalemate i think [20:18] well, we can now metaphorically rebuild, i hope some of the pawns or rooks are female [20:18] otherwise we're going to be extinct [20:18] rebuild? [20:18] good game anyways [20:19] exciting! [20:19] i'm extrapolating a story behind the crowns [20:19] did you see that pawn's face come apart? [20:19] :| [20:19] who knew chess was so violent [20:20] it was going good there for a while, then got ugly [20:20] i dont know why castling didnt work for me [20:20] i think you moved your king? [20:20] or my bishop was blocking it? [20:21] ohhh [20:21] it looks like we are evenly matched [20:21] that was cool, i like playing with you better than the computer [20:21] the computer doesn't talk to me :( [20:21] * seidos laughs === seidos is now known as saytwo [20:40] who was that guy talking about gnibbles [20:40] distracting [20:40] i dunno, just some dude i think [20:41] i'm pretty sure that's never happeend to me before iheartubuntu [20:41] oh, hey, i should have my bot join === saytwo is now known as kevin4896 [20:41] class of '96 [20:42] buddyjr: hello [20:42] Processing................... [20:42] :P [20:43] oh yeah, i pasted this http://swarm.conferencebywire.com/web/guest/my-conferences-page/?parameterAutoLoginLogin=scaleuserla@yahoo.com¶meterAutoLoginPassword=scaleuser&data=cU5IN3BBQWlhNTEweXNZWXJiczg5UmdiN2dBUWV5QnEwaWllTVdQTmVwdz0=&sesid=486 in #slackware-offtopic and they said there is personal data in it [21:06] am i seeing an email and password within the link? [22:20] slow news day on us-ca [22:26] iheartubuntu: i guess, but it's not mine so i'm not worried about it [22:26] i did feel like i did something wrong for a second though [22:27] dang, getting old [22:28] wrist is hurting [22:28] better find something else to do besides typing [22:30] i should find some good Hawaiian music to listen to [22:31] which makes me wonder...what is "Californian music" these days? [22:32] kevin4896: i switched to dvorak, finds it helps with the wrist strain [22:39] i have hawaiian music [22:39] http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=1272790 [23:10] kdub_: it's a notebook, so switching is a bit harder. oddly my left hand is fine [23:11] i should probably observe the hand while it moves over the keys [23:12] hmmm maybe i use the home, end, and del keys too much [23:29] iheartubuntu: that isn't bad, but i was looking for another style [23:31] i'm reluctant to say it but this stuff sound like it's been incepted with WASP like theme [23:36] hmmm, looks like i hit backspace too much, surprise surprise [23:36] anyway
