[00:03] <iheartubuntu> nhaines - how is key commands then mouse clicks more efficient then me just clicking the workspace i want?
[00:03] <iheartubuntu> or mouse clicks then more mouse clicks?
[00:03] <iheartubuntu> seems less efficient from my use unless im just firing up supertuxkart every day all day long
[00:04] <iheartubuntu> of course i could put QBrew as my #1 app in natty. that would solve everything
[00:07] <iheartubuntu> ever since i lost my invest app on my bottom panel i have not been too thrilled. it doesnt work in classic mode either
[00:08] <iheartubuntu> i gave up on reporting it not working
[00:08] <iheartubuntu> someone kept checking my bug report to a bug report that was blank
[00:08] <iheartubuntu> changing, not checking
[00:08] <nhaines> iheartubuntu: I think you'll find that Ctrl-Alt-[arrow keys] is most efficient.
[00:11] <crashsystems> if you want one click to switch to a workplace, there is an app indicator for that
[00:11] <crashsystems> https://launchpad.net/indicator-workspaces
[00:12] <nhaines> I want to know more about Quicken for Ubuntu.
[00:24] <crashsystems> nhaines: quicken for ubuntu?
[00:24] <nhaines> crashsystems: yup.
[00:25] <nhaines> It's mentioned here: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features/office-applications
[00:26] <jamalta> nhaines:
[00:26] <jamalta> interesting, it's not even in the repositories by default
[00:29] <crashsystems> isn't quicken one of the commercial apps that some companies use for accounting?
[00:29] <nhaines> crashsystems: you're thinking of QuickBooks.
[00:29] <crashsystems> I also think there is one called quicken
[00:30] <crashsystems> aka http://quicken.intuit.com/
[00:30] <nhaines> crashsystems: that's a personal finance application, not a business finance application.
[00:30] <broder> i don't see quicken in u-s-c
[00:31] <nhaines> broder: me either.
[00:31] <nhaines> If I can migrate my mom from Microsoft Money to Quicken, and Quicken runs on Ubuntu, then I could migrate her from Windows XP to Ubuntu.
[00:32] <nhaines> This would be a double win, since Money is end-of-life.
[00:41] <jamalta> It's not even listed under For Purchase
[00:41] <jamalta> Strange... :\
[00:42] <iheartubuntu> maybe quicken will pop up in the paid apps
[00:42] <iheartubuntu> if quickbooks pro hits ubuntu my life would be great :)
[00:43] <iheartubuntu> my wife is adamant about having some form of XP running someplace that has money on it
[00:44] <nhaines> iheartubuntu: so would you say she puts her money where her mouse is?  :zing:
[00:49] <pleia2> exopc rumor was true, grantbow has one
[00:49] <nhaines> Which rumor was that?
[00:50] <pleia2> 18:41:05 < akk> So, I have no idea if this is true, but there's a rumor (posted to BALUG) that Intel is giving out EXOPC tablets to everyone who attends their meego developer camp tomorrow at Moscone.
[00:50] <nhaines> ooh
[00:51] <pleia2> meeting up with him as soon as I wrap up work, I shall steal it from him
[00:51] <pleia2> (just kidding)
[00:51] <pleia2> ((maybe))
[01:02] <pleia2> heading downstairs to begin pre-release-party adventures!
[01:32] <jono> hey all
[01:32] <jono> so who is going to the Thirsty Bear tonight?
[01:35] <sn9> not me
[01:45] <pleia2> grantbow and I are at our regular ubuntu hour coffee shop playing with his meego exopc
[01:47] <jono> pleia2, cool, I am going to set off fairly soon
[01:48] <pleia2> cool :)
[01:48] <jono> I think my wife and a few Ubuntu folks I know are coming too
[04:43] <nhaines> Well, I'm not at the Thirsty Bear but I *am* drinking spezi.
[05:28] <jamalta> it was great meeting those who were there :)
[05:28] <jamalta> sn9: some of the fl people are coming up during google i/o. think you can make it?
[05:28] <sn9> when?
[05:28] <jamalta> probably going to meet somewhere near the moscone center.
[05:28] <jamalta> sn9: not sure exactly, either may 10 or 11.
[05:29] <sn9> hmm, i might need a reminder
[05:29] <jamalta> sure thing.. i'll let you know a few days before :)
[06:48] <philipballew> How was the release party?
[07:02] <philipballew> my computer wont update to 11.04 when i type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" what am i doing wrong?
[07:02] <sn9> wrong command
[07:03] <sn9> it's sudo do-release-upgrade
[07:03] <sn9> or something like that
[07:04] <philipballew> oh, i see. thanks. i thought what i was doing was right, then i found this online and it confirmed (well i thought it did) https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/154667 but still didn't work
[07:19] <jamalta> night everyone
[11:20] <iheartubuntu> you may now kiss the bride/groom
[11:20] <DarkwingDuck> Oh god... not you too
[11:21] <iheartubuntu> yup - i drank too much
[11:21] <iheartubuntu> now im nursing a big glass of water
[11:21] <iheartubuntu> :D
[11:22] <DarkwingDuck> hehehe Wife woke me up for it.
[11:22] <iheartubuntu> how are you doing dave
[11:22] <iheartubuntu> these hats
[11:23] <DarkwingDuck> Yeah...
[11:23] <DarkwingDuck> I'm tired. Updating my server to 11.04
[11:24] <iheartubuntu> how old are kate and whats his name
[11:24] <iheartubuntu> where did the years go
[11:25] <iheartubuntu> have u been to UK
[11:27] <iheartubuntu> ive never been to westminster
[11:28] <iheartubuntu> are there many changes in the server edition?
[11:33] <DarkwingDuck> Not sure... I'll let you know.
[17:18] <sn9> someone mentioned in another channel that kde4 can be built with gtk instead of qt, and that compiz has been ported to windows. am i THAT out of the loop?
[17:31] <akk> kde with gtk instead of qt sounds unlikely.
[17:31] <akk> compiz on windows wouldn't surprise me too much.
[17:32] <akk> hmm, on second though, probably it should surprise me. I guess it does sound unlikely.
[17:57] <crashsystems> compiz on windows?! o_O
[18:00] <pleia2> I know there are some tools that can do compiz-like effects on windows, but afaik compiz itself isn't ported
[18:01] <jamalta> sn9: ...wow, someone's not right in the head. lol.
[18:01] <pleia2> jamalta: nice to meet you last night!
[18:01] <jamalta> pleia2: thanks! nice to meet you too :)
[18:01] <jamalta> sorry i had to run out so early.. it was fun to see everyone.
[18:02] <jamalta> well, a few of you. there was too many people there, hehe
[18:02] <pleia2> no worries, that's why we picked such a casual venue :)
[18:02] <pleia2> yeah, the turnout was suprising to me
[18:02] <pleia2> not as big as lucid, but lots of people I didn't expect to see :)
[18:02] <jamalta> pleia2: that's always a good thing though!
[18:02] <pleia2> yep
[18:28] <pleia2> http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntu-us-ca/sets/72157626484097009/
[18:28] <pleia2> some photos from last night :)
[18:30] <jamalta> woo! nice :)
[18:34] <sn9> is that a furby?
[18:35] <pleia2> no, it's a narwhal
[18:36] <sn9> a furry narwhal?
[18:37] <pleia2> yes
[19:12] <MarkDude> pleia2, how come there are no pictures of the narwhal outfit Jono was wearing ? >> https://picasaweb.google.com/tuxwingsgroup/PhotoEdits#5601069697291723874
[19:17] <jamalta> MarkDude: O.O
[19:17] <jamalta> Is that real?
[19:17] <jamalta> Oh, I get it.. his face was printed out, right?
[19:19]  * MarkDude used GIMP to do it
[19:19] <jamalta> Ah... makes more sense :)
[19:20] <pleia2> that's just scary
[19:20] <iheartubuntu> thats what i was thinking too
[19:21] <iheartubuntu> it looks like the face was cut and pasted
[19:21] <MarkDude> I was halfway thinking of pretending it was real
[19:21] <MarkDude> it was iheartubuntu
[19:23] <MarkDude> The other folks in the pics are Oakland A's players
[23:06] <jdeslip> In case anyone is interested I just built a python google cloudprint server for ubuntu in my ppa
[23:07] <jdeslip> It is pretty sweet.  Allows you to connect your cups printers to cloud print without having to run chrome all the time
[23:08] <akk> cool
[23:08] <jdeslip> Been printing from my tablet all morning :)
[23:10]  * crashsystems wants to poke around at cloud print
[23:10]  * akk only turns the printer on when I'm standing next to it and about to print something, but it's fun to hear about this stuff anyway
[23:11] <jamalta> jdeslip: oh sweet
[23:11] <jamalta> wait, you can't run google cloud print on linux at all, can you?
[23:11] <pleia2> nope
[23:11] <jamalta> jdeslip: do you have the code up somewhere? i'd love to try it out sometime :)
[23:11] <akk> Really? Doesn't google use mostly linux internally?
[23:11] <jamalta> akk: i think they went with the most popular approach
[23:12] <jamalta> but that's just a guess
[23:13] <pleia2> when they launched it they said they were working on a linux version, but no word yet, and the docs still say "you will need to install Google Chrome on a Mac or Windows computer that's connected to your printer"
[23:13] <jdeslip> jamalta: the code is available here: https://github.com/armooo/cloudprint/
[23:14] <jdeslip> I just patched it a little to fix a bug I found and then packaged it into my ppa
[23:14] <jamalta> jdeslip: ah cool :)
[23:14] <pleia2> nice
[23:15] <jdeslip> pleia2: you can run cloudprint in the linux version of chrome.  You have to go to about:labs and enable cloud print proxy
[23:15] <pleia2> ooh
[23:15] <jdeslip> But, I prefer this python script.  It think it is crazy to have to have chrome running to use my printer
[23:15] <pleia2> neat
[23:15] <pleia2> yeah
[23:16] <jdeslip> and you can run this on login and just pipe the output somewhere if you want
[23:16]  * pleia2 haz no about:labs
[23:16] <pleia2> hrm
[23:16] <jdeslip> about:flags
[23:16] <jdeslip> sorry
[23:17] <pleia2> no cloud print proxy there
[23:17]  * pleia2 upgrades
[23:17] <pleia2> chrome-stable?
[23:18] <jdeslip> Oh, I am running beta
[23:18] <jdeslip> (not the development/nightly one, but beta one)
[23:21] <nhaines> akk: I was just thinking about nouns becoming verbs (and verbing weirds language!), such as "googling" and "xeroxing" and so forth.
[23:21] <nhaines> akk: And it occured to me that GIMP wasn't a product whose name readily lent itself to verbing.
[23:22] <akk> I say "gimping" or "gimped" pretty often.
[23:23] <nhaines> akk: in the context of photoediting?
[23:23] <akk> yes, "I gimped that image"
[23:23] <akk> "I'm gimping up this year's xmas card"
[23:25] <MarkDude> How about- the image I did was GIMPtacular?
[23:25] <MarkDude> GIMPerrific
[23:25] <MarkDude> also gimptastic
[23:26] <MarkDude> Not the last one per se- that was tooo simple
[23:26] <akk> I like those.
[23:30] <jamalta> Haha, nice
[23:56] <jdeslip> My build of cloudprint has a problem... and now the launchpad is broken so can't upload the fix :(
[23:59] <pleia2> yeah, they're working on fixing ppa uploads
