[03:13] <lostson> hmm just installed unity and i must say i might could get to like this
[03:13] <spikeb> :)
[03:14] <lostson> it feels really smooth so far and once you learn all the keyboard shortcuts you can really fly with it
[03:28]  * spikeb is quite pleased as well
[03:28] <lostson> yeah i am gonna give it an honest shot and i found a really good article on things to add to it and stuff so that helped as well
[03:34] <lostson> guake fits in quite nicely
[03:41] <lostson> nice you can shrink the size of the icons in the left hand panel that makes it smaller
[03:42] <spikeb> i shrunk it on my netbook but not on the desktop heh
[03:43] <lostson> yeah i am on my laptop kinda permanent for now so shrunk it up with autohide
[03:52] <lostson> well time to make a trip outside
[03:52] <lostson> damn hotel's anyway
[03:56] <spikeb> ok
[03:58] <lostson> ok then where was I
[03:58] <lostson> hmm should i get to minecraft or keep playing with unity
[03:59] <spikeb> good question
[04:00] <lostson> i have gotten addicted to minecraft bigtime
[04:00] <spikeb> it is a very addicting game
[04:00] <spikeb> to say the least
[04:00] <lostson> one thing i did do though was purge banshee and get rhythmbox back in
[04:01] <lostson> yeah i have a huge castle built right now
[04:01] <spikeb> working on one myself
[04:01] <lostson> i need another laptop so i can play minecraft and mess with unity
[04:07] <lostson> time to update chromium daily
[04:11] <lostson> these keyboard shortcuts are great
[04:20] <lostson> ok minecraft time
[04:30] <h00k> HI everyone!
[04:47] <lostson> evening h00k
[04:48] <h00k> lostson: how are you liking/disliking unity?
[04:48] <lostson> so far its pretty slick
[04:48] <lostson> the keyboard shortcuts are nice
[04:48] <h00k> I didn't expect that, I'll be honest
[04:48] <h00k> but cool.
[04:48] <h00k> I also like it
[04:49] <lostson> I am gonna give it a honest shot see how usable it really is
[04:49] <lostson> if i can accomplish more things without the use of a mouse that is a big beneift for me
[04:49] <lostson> it does look nice it operates very smooth with compiz gives you that glossy all over feeling
[04:50] <h00k> it's true
[04:50] <lostson> i havent found a kbd shortcut for send application to Y desktop yet though and that one i would like to have back
[04:51] <h00k> I am switching between Ocelot and Fedora 15 beta on my netbook for bleeding-edge unity and gnome3 respectively
[04:51] <lostson> holding down the super keys gives the launcher some nice effects
[04:52] <lostson> I put fedora on here the other night for fun and performace was terrible
[04:52] <lostson> so the next night back went ubuntu
[04:54] <lostson> i didnt think i would get used to the launcher being there on the left so i tried the autohide feature of it but in the end i kinda like it there reminds me of my old window maker setup
[04:54] <lostson> would this work on one of my old PII's that I have buried away? probably not but there are other alternatives for that anyway
[04:55] <h00k> It might
[04:55] <h00k> work
[04:55] <h00k> I did autohide mine too, but I miss it
[04:55] <h00k> I have to change it
[04:55] <h00k> back
[04:57] <lostson> i am not sure about the menu's for my apps being in the top bar but am getting used to just hitting Alt and going from there
[05:01] <lostson> then again i never was a big mac user anyway
[05:02] <lostson> perhaps now that i need to relocate Canonical could hire me to work on this stuff full time
[05:04] <lostson> was trying to talk the wife into moving up near wausau I could always work for charter up there
[05:09] <lostson> guake needs to be updated to work better with unity though
[05:10] <lostson> i am not saying its the greatest thing since sliced bread but it defintely opens the doors to some crazy developmental ideas of which i have had a few already
[05:10] <lostson> i would like my launcher on the right though vs the left and move my clock over to the left im right handed so having it on the left confuses me
[05:11] <lostson> ok your not paying attention anymore i will shut up lol
[05:12] <lostson> gonna jump back into some minecraft
[14:27] <lostson> clearlooks classic is still my favorite gtk style
