[17:33] <Brandonian> Anybody in here not a bot?
[17:40] <lorddelta> Why?
[17:40] <lorddelta> I've been loitering around in here wondering if anyone ever uses this...
[17:40] <lorddelta> If I'm not supposed to be here though...
[17:41] <Brandonian> Me too on the loitering. Just feeling my way out.
[17:42] <Brandonian> New-ish to ubuntu up in South Bend. You?
[17:42] <lorddelta> Euh. Sorta mid to low range of experience with Ubuntu, Indy.
[17:43] <Brandonian> cool
[17:44] <Brandonian> nice to meet you
[17:44] <lorddelta> Same.
[17:44] <lorddelta> Though this is probably my first intense year of usage of it, I lived on Mac/PC mainly before that. I dabbled a couple years back and just wasn't technical enough to handle it...
[17:45] <lorddelta> And WiFi didn't work well on my machines back then!
[17:46] <Brandonian> I wiped my MacBook about 6 months ago and installed ubuntu on it. I've really enjoyed working with it. Lately, I've been doing some server stuff with ubuntu as well.
[17:46] <Brandonian> Still can't get my iSight to work on the laptop, though... d'oh
[17:46] <Brandonian> I bet no wifi was fun
[17:48] <lorddelta> Yeah...I'm still not really technical enough to figure out how to setup my wifi today, but I feel like I could learn how it works if I really had to. I've spent my time getting accustomed to the cmd-line and trying to wrap my head around the whole "everything-is-a-file" thing.
[17:48] <Brandonian> Any idea how active the ubuntu community is in Indy? I went to Linuxfest a few months ago, but haven't really heard much about it since.
[17:48] <lorddelta> Nah. You came here through the forums, am I right?
[17:49] <Brandonian> yeah, I'm mostly a Mac guy myself, so command line's still pretty intimidating... *reads* yup.
[17:51] <lorddelta> *nod* I haven't been to a LUG myself here yet, (I intend to go though next time hopefully) but I suspect with ~100 users on the forums locally, we're probably not that active here in Indy.
[17:52] <Brandonian> coolz
[17:52] <lorddelta> So why'd you decide to wipe the 'book?
[17:52] <lorddelta> Just curious.
[17:56] <Brandonian> Performance issues. I was mirroring my iMac, which worked well for awhile, but once the hard drive started filling up, it became more and more of a pain to do anything on it.
[18:00] <lorddelta> Cool.
[18:04] <lorddelta> Just as much as I like Ubuntu/Linux I enjoy keeping a copy of Windows/OSX around...not everything works in wine, and I don't know of any such thing in existence for OSX apps.
[18:06] <lorddelta> Well hey, if you know anyone else who uses Ubuntu, send 'em this way, I'd love to see an irc community get off the ground here.
[18:10] <lorddelta> *back to lurking I guess*
[18:19] <Brandonian> most def
