| Miriup | Tihi. Another UAE Linux community with an IRC channel on freenode. Pretty cool. Maybe I show up on the meeting in June. | 10:19 |
| bassem | Miriup, hello | 13:31 |
| bassem | nlsthzn, !!! | 13:31 |
| Miriup | Hi bassem! Nice to see an active Linux community in the Emirates again. And also nice to see a meet-up location in my vacinity (Mirdif). ;) | 13:34 |
| bassem | Miriup, you said "another" community !!! | 13:35 |
| Miriup | Well, you most be the only one by now. ;) | 13:36 |
| bassem | Miriup, the only one alive maybe! | 13:37 |
| Miriup | The #dubailug has a channel here as well. But for at least two years the only regulars are from the Linux DVB project and AFAIK none of them is in the Emirates. | 13:38 |
| Miriup | That lug also shows occasionally the willingness to meet, but it doesn't happen. A lot of guys also left with the big crash. | 13:38 |
| Miriup | I've seen a lot of familiar names on the meet-up site for your group. :) | 13:39 |
| bassem | Miriup, oh yeah! now I remember, there's another linux room "Linux DVB" | 13:39 |
| Miriup | But what's really cool is that you have an IRC channel. It keeps the social aspect much more alive than a mailinglist or monthly meetings. | 13:40 |
| Miriup | IMHO at least. | 13:40 |
| bassem | Miriup, you are there #dubailug ! | 13:40 |
| Miriup | Yes, at least one guy from .ae has to show up there every once in a while, no?! ;) | 13:41 |
| bassem | Miriup, yeah, IRC channel came after the monthly meetings | 13:41 |
| bassem | Miriup, are you in Dubai? | 13:43 |
| Miriup | Yep. | 13:43 |
| bassem | Miriup, cool! and how you find us? | 13:43 |
| Miriup | There was a discussion on the old uaelug list about you guys doing meetings, which I stumbled over when I cleaned my inbox. | 13:44 |
| nlsthzn | bassem: You where looking for me? | 14:24 |
| bassem | nlsthzn, maybe! | 14:31 |
| nlsthzn | bassem: well when u finally make up your mind I might still be here | 14:40 |
| bassem | nlsthzn, ok | 14:41 |
| nlsthzn | k, cheers for now | 14:46 |
| * nlsthzn waves | 17:51 | |
| === nlsthzn is now known as nlsthzn-work | ||
| nlsthzn-work | Toki: Ping | 20:38 |
| Toki | nlsthzn-work: Ping back. | 20:40 |
| nlsthzn-work | Toki: You are up on-line late tonight? | 20:41 |
| Toki | nlsthzn-work: Home alone. | 20:42 |
| nlsthzn-work | Toki: Ah... so when the cats are away... :) | 20:43 |
| Toki | nlsthzn-work: Not familiar with the saying, but I guess that's how it is. | 20:44 |
| Toki | mlNot familiar with the saying, but I guess that's how it is. | 20:44 |
| nlsthzn-work | Toki: :) The whole saying is when the cats are away, the mice will play ;) | 20:45 |
| nlsthzn-work | So enjoy playing | 20:45 |
| Toki | nlsthzn-work: Ah... :D | 20:45 |
| nlsthzn-work | :) ... Soon KDE 5 will be coming out using QT5... and also needing openGL acceleration, just like Unity and Gnome 3... I am seriously thinking about switching to a light weight DE... but not sure which one :/ | 20:47 |
| Miriup | nlsthzn-work: QT5 is Nokia's? | 22:52 |
| nlsthzn-work | Miriup: Hi... I have no idea... was reading a blog from a developer about QT5 and KDE5... not sure who is in charge now | 22:53 |
| Miriup | I'm surprised to hear about KDE5, when PIM has issues since KDE4.5. | 22:54 |
| Miriup | But yes, they all want OpenGL. I think Apple has brought us into this. ;) | 22:55 |
| nlsthzn-work | Now you need a fairly powerful machine just for your OS, never mind any apps... nuts! | 22:56 |
| Miriup | Enlightenment used to be cool. Lots of work went into it and it's at the brink of being an DE. There's also some other minimalistic WM I hear about a lot lately, but I can't remember it's name right now. It reminded by a bit of XFCe. | 22:57 |
| nlsthzn-work | LXDE? | 22:58 |
| Miriup | Nope. | 22:58 |
| Miriup | Afterstep seems to remind me somehow of that name, but it cannot possibly be afterstep. ;) | 23:00 |
| nlsthzn-work | The light weight DE don't really do it for me at the moment... I don't need to run it on ancient hardware, just not on the latest and greatest :) | 23:00 |
| Miriup | So what are you needing the DE for then? | 23:00 |
| Miriup | What would you be missing? | 23:01 |
| nlsthzn-work | openbox or fluxbox perhaps then? | 23:01 |
| Miriup | Because you could still run OpenOffice in WM2 to bring up an extreme example. Openbox and fluxbox I don't know. | 23:01 |
| nlsthzn-work | I have a duel core lappy with intel graphics and 2gb ram... so CPU wise it runs anything, but can't handle KDE 4.6 with all the bells and whistles... | 23:02 |
| Miriup | Awesome was it! | 23:02 |
| Miriup | http://awesome.naquadah.org/ | 23:02 |
| nlsthzn-work | never heard of it before | 23:05 |
| Miriup | Me neither. But I've been reading it a lot lately. | 23:05 |
| Miriup | But then again it might have something to do with what I do lately. | 23:06 |
| Miriup | ;) | 23:06 |
| nlsthzn-work | ... and that is? | 23:06 |
| Miriup | Just been wondering about that as well. But I can't pinpoint it. | 23:07 |
| nlsthzn-work | well... I hope I can make my mind up on a distro/DE soon... I am so tired of distro hopping now it is silly :) | 23:08 |
| Miriup | I know how that feels. Recently went back to KDE (4.6 over here) and I'm already unhappy again. | 23:09 |
| Miriup | I think amongst the big DE's it's only KDE and Gnome and Enlightenment. | 23:09 |
| Miriup | Everyone else eventually uses one of the sets of libraries of these three. | 23:09 |
| Miriup | A big chunk of what the DE drives is the toolkit. And there is really only GTK+, QT or the E*. Stuff like DBUS has is standardized by Freedesktop and thus the same. | 23:11 |
| nlsthzn-work | and both Gnome and KDE going to be re-written, so all apps will start changing too... now GTK3 and QT5 | 23:11 |
| Miriup | Well if the change from QT3 to QT4 is a measure for the change to QT5 then you'll be needed to have both for a while. ;D | 23:12 |
| nlsthzn-work | :) apparently the change will be more subtle :) | 23:13 |
| Miriup | Probably there will be more Nokia logos spread throughout KDE. | 23:15 |
| nlsthzn-work | but nokia has given up on QT now haven't they? | 23:17 |
| Miriup | Dunno. They still own it. They're in a big phase of confusion at the moment. | 23:32 |
| Miriup | With the Microsoft guy at the top. If he still is, I haven't following it lately. | 23:32 |
| nlsthzn-work | I also don't know... just heard they dropped support for Meego etc. and left Intel being one of the only big companies still backing it... | 23:33 |
| Miriup | Anyways, will go back to the BG for now. The cats are away over here as well and that particular mouse over here is starting into a 36h hiking trip tomorrow. :D | 23:33 |
| Miriup | So... good night. :) | 23:33 |
| nlsthzn-work | Miriup: enjoy :) | 23:33 |
| nlsthzn-work | night | 23:33 |
