[06:11] <bluebomber> Good night, everyone, from EST.
[14:08] <mhall119> I wonder if zoopster sent his balloon up
[14:41] <munz> mhall119: acording to the questforthestars yes, here is the tracking but the alt does not appear to be a baloon, maybe it is actualy zoop http://aprs.fi/?call=a%2FQ4STAR-15&mt=roadmap&z=11&timerange=3600
[15:05] <DammitJim> do any of you use a virtual machine for windows?
[15:05]  * DammitJim covers himself
[15:05] <munz> sooo, just curius as to what backup methods people are using for ubuntu. need and automated bu solution for files, settings, & mysql
[15:05] <munz> yes i do jimmah1 
[15:06] <munz> @work have xp in vmware, home in vbox
[15:07] <munz> whats up?
[15:10] <munz> *sorry should have said DammitJim 
[15:11] <DammitJim> munz, what kinda hardware are you using? I find XP in my Precision to be super slow
[15:11] <DammitJim> I have allocated 2GB and it's a Dual Core machine
[15:12] <munz> in vbox or vmware?
[15:12] <DammitJim> vbox
[15:13] <munz> i'm using on quad core w/2gb ram 1 allocated
[15:13] <munz> vbox@home is 512mb ram
[15:13] <DammitJim> hhhmmmm... something else that is kinda funny is that it seems as if my hard drive is fragmented or something
[15:14] <munz> the vm @work does not like to be configured to use mutiple cores
[15:14] <munz> it slows it down alot
[15:14] <munz> i have just recently started using vbox
[15:14] <munz> have been using vmware for a while
[15:15] <DammitJim> I've used VBOX for many years, but I don't know why I feel like this XP guest is just way too slow
[15:17] <munz> hmmmmm not sure...
[15:17] <DammitJim> anyways... why do you have XP LOL
[15:17] <munz> LOL, have to run quickbooks ar work
[15:18] <munz> testing at home, and wife uses it once in a while for cupon printing lol
[15:18] <DammitJim> :D
[15:18] <munz> other wise i try to convert everyone i can
[15:19] <munz> i now have our web dev people using ubuntu 75%(they have to use dreamweaver sometimes)
