ChinnoDogIt depends who the audience is01:23

PennBotTitle: Digital Web Magazine - Creating The Perfect Portfolio (at 64.13.255.16)01:25
ChinnoDogIf i were trying to get a web development job I would proably try to include one project that I had explained the workings of somehow.01:25
SadinYeah that sounds good01:32
Sadinim starting the designing process in GIMP now01:33

teddy-dbearme^01:48
Sadinugh this isnt going as well as i had hoped it doesnt look right time to try a new design02:12
teddy-dbeartold you to include a picture of me ;-)02:13
InHisNameteddy-dbear sure is getting vain in his older years02:20
ChinnoDogprobably needs his own web site02:21
Sadin:O i made a facebook icon sweet02:26
ChinnoDogOne entitled "The Altar of Teddy"02:26
Sadinnow to make a twitter and deviant art icon02:26
teddy-dbearI'm way to cute to ignore :-D02:28
Sadincan anyone help me trubleshoot my startup disk creator?03:15
teddy-dbearhow did you mess it up?03:16
ChinnoDogYea, that is pretty hard to screw up03:16
Sadini didnt really it just wont select my iso03:16
ChinnoDogDoes the ISO appear in the list of source images at the top?03:17
Sadinno03:17
ChinnoDogDid you press the "Other..." button and select it?03:18
ChinnoDoghi IdleOne03:18
Sadinyeah and when i select it and hit open it stays blank03:18
IdleOnehello ChinnoDog03:19
ChinnoDoghrm. I haven't had to select one. My images are in ~/Downloads and they appered automatically. Try putting your iso in Downloads and restarting the startup disk creator to see if it apears.03:20
SadinThey are03:22
ChinnoDoglaunch usb-creator-gtk from a command line and see any errors are printed at the console03:23
SadinUbable to find Joliet SVD03:24
ChinnoDogI get that too but it doesn't prevent mine from working03:24
Sadinhmm erg03:24
Sadinthis kinda of stuff always happens to me :(03:24
ChinnoDogstupid question. You have a burner in your computer?03:24
Sadinyup03:24
ChinnoDogWhat happens if you pass the iso to it at the command line with -i?03:26
Sadini dont have a clue what you just said not fluent in command line sorry03:27
ChinnoDogchinnodog@kabibonooka:~/Downloads$ usb-creator-gtk -i clonezilla-live-20110328-maverick.iso03:27
ChinnoDoglike that03:27
Sadinum let me try03:28
Sadinit lets me pick my usb disk but the create startup disk button is still greyed out..03:31
Sadinwhen i try to format my usb it says error already mounted...03:33
ChinnoDogIt doesn't let you create the startup disk unless you have selected a partition it can go on03:34
Sadini selected my usb...03:34
ChinnoDogThe device or the partition?03:35
SadinIt doesnt have any partitions03:35
Sadinits formatted as FAT03:35
ChinnoDogWhen I make USB startup disks I always erase the usb stick first using the Erase Disk button, then select the new partition, then press the "Make Startup Disk" button03:35
ChinnoDogIs it ok to erase it?03:35
Sadini cant press the Make Startup Disk button and ive erased it multiple times :/03:36
ChinnoDogAfter you erase it you end up with two items in the device window. One will be the usb drive, the other will be the first partition. e.g. on my computer I get /dev/sdd and /dev/sdd103:36
ChinnoDogYou have to select the partition, i.e. /dev/sdd1 before you can press the button03:36
Sadini have /dev/sdb1 and thats it03:37
Sadinill just burn the iso to a VD instead of my usb manually03:38
Sadinto much trouble03:38
ChinnoDogYou should see /dev/sdb in there too03:39
Sadinwell thats the problem i dont lol03:39
ChinnoDoghrm. I've never had a problem with the startup disk creator.03:39
* jthan shakes his fist03:39
jthancomputers...03:39
jthanWhy can't we just use our trust abacus?03:39
Sadinhaha03:39
jthantrusty03:40
SadinHopefully just burning my image to my CD will work i need to get XP reinstalled ASAP on my desktop :|03:54
SadinGUYS GUYS i got my junker that wasnt detecting a HD to finnaly open a startup disk correctly!04:01
SadinOMG EPIC04:02

ChinnoDogYour junker must be from 1995. lol04:03
Sadinthats the year i was born :D04:04
ChinnoDogI was afraid you were going to say that.04:05
Sadinlol04:05

waltmanTying on it?04:09

ChinnoDogThe clickers lasted about 3x longer than membrane keyboards.04:10
waltmansuper clicky, too.  And it weighs half a ton.04:10
Sadin:D windows xp install working ugh this saved my but04:10
ChinnoDogI saw online somewhere that there is a company that makes those now, brand new.04:10
waltmanChinnoDog: It's a vintage Northgate Omnikey04:11
ChinnoDogWhen I was new to computers I remember how I would get all stressed out when I misconfigured DOS or screwed up my Win 3.11 configuratino.04:11
Sadini made another wallpaper this ones pretty sweet :D04:44
SadinWewt windows installed just fine :)04:48

ChinnoDogPennBot: geeknic?18:11
PennBotSomebody said geeknic is http://wiki.geeknic.org/index.php/Lower_Perkiomen_Geeknic, ChinnoDog18:11
ChinnoDogThat is from last year.18:11
JonathanDYes, it is.18:12
JonathanDPennBot: forget geeknic18:12
PennBot10-4, JonathanD.18:12
JonathanDPennBot: geeknic is a picnic for geeks. The next one is in June. http://geeknic.org/?p=14418:13
PennBotOkay!18:13
ChinnoDogPennBot needs a brain18:24
PennBotDunno!18:24
InHisNameDonate half to PennBot and then you are only half-brained!18:27
ChinnoDogBut, I don't want to be single core.18:28
InHisNameMost were born twin-core.18:29
InHisNameSo do you want an 8-tuple head ?18:29
InHisNameThe interface bus would be a doozie18:30
ChinnoDogYes, but it has to be 8 core, not dual quad core.18:31
teddy-dbearstuffing has always worked for me ;-)18:51
InHisNamecheck this out: http://questionparty.com/questions/show/6943219:26
PennBotTitle: Question Party! (at questionparty.com)19:26
InHisNameafter 5 weeks someone answered the question I put.19:27
pleia2andrew: the ubuntu logo on the windows key of my mini9 is just one from the standard sticker sheet http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=71820:05
PennBotTitle: Canonical StoreCanonical Store (at shop.canonical.com)20:05
pleia2it's holding up remarkably well for what it is20:05
* ssweeny loves that laptops are coming out with different logos (i.e. ubuntu) on that key20:08
JonathanDreally?20:09
JonathanDmy ubuntu sticker is long since just a silver label thing :P20:09
JonathanDssweeny: what we need is a multiboot key that morphs depending on which OS is active.20:09
JonathanDand can detect remote desktop and VNC, etc, and morph for those too20:09
* JonathanD nods20:09
JonathanDnot terribly useful, but it'd be nifty.20:10
ssweenythey have keyboards where each key is an lcd display and hence changeable20:10
JonathanDI've seen those.20:11
ssweenyso not entirely out of the question20:11
JonathanDYou've have to load it up with all the distro logos, I suppose.20:11
JonathanDssweeny: probably a rather expensive thing for one key.20:11
ssweenyjust put it in the driver20:11
JonathanDssweeny: that works for multiboot.20:11
JonathanDwhat about remote access ? :P20:12
andrewpleia2: that probably doesn't work well on the rounded windows keys that exist on dell keyboards20:17
pleia2andrew: ah, probably not20:20
pleia2mine doesn't have the silly roundednes20:20
JonathanDmm, no unity on this box.20:20
* JonathanD heading into CC tonight.20:20
JonathanDif anyone wants to come party at basekamp.20:20
JonathanDwhoooooooo20:20
jthanJonathanD: I'd love to come to geeknic, but that weekend isn't too free on my calendar :-(20:25
JonathanDmake it free!20:26
JonathanDThe bears will eat anyone who unfrees it.20:27
JonathanDThey're good like that.20:27
andrewpleia2: Also, I'm confused that they think a 2D sticker is special, let alone worth extra20:27
andrewwhat's the date again for that thing, JonathanD ?20:28
andrewhrm, i may or may not be able to make that one20:28
andrewprobably on the not, due to potentially visiting my brother during that week20:29
JonathanDinvite him to geeknic, visit him there.20:33
andrewhrm, seneca rocks/nelson rocks vs geeknic20:38
pleia2andrew: who thinks what sticker is special?20:40
SadinHi everyone :)20:41
ChinnoDoghello20:41
JonathanDHello ssweeny20:42
JonathanDerm, hello Sadin20:42
andrewpleia2: "Fancy something a little different? Then treat yourself to some two-dimensional (2D) Ubuntu stickers..." from that link you shared above at 15:0520:42
pleia2ah20:42
andrewAren't most stickers two-dimensional?20:43
pleia2they feel foamy, I bought a couple at UDS20:43
pleia2I think they should call them 3d, they are raised20:43
andrewso... perhaps a third...20:44
pleia2not sure what to put them on, since they aren't flat I suspect the CoF will get damaged on my laptop20:44
pleia2I don't think they know what 2D means :)20:44
JonathanDpleia2: where can I get the 1D stickers?20:46
jthanJonathanD: find pencil, draw image20:46
jthannope. that's 2D isn't it...20:46
jthanfail thinking.20:46
JonathanDyes.20:46
pleia2has to just be a line20:46
JonathanDhas to have no thickness too :p20:46
jthanA Line is two-dimensionsal20:46
pleia2yes, a thicknessless line20:46
JonathanDjthan: 3, actually.20:46
jthanJonathanD: yes, in theory. To the eye? Not so much.20:47
JonathanDsince the graphite leaves height, as well :p20:47
Sadini cant decide to ither put ubuntu server on my old desktop i just fixed or just put desktop on it :/20:47
