milleja46hi02:15
milleja46i finally figured out what makes the sidebar disappear :D02:15
holsteinmilleja46: ?03:16
milleja46holstein: you have to have a program either maxed out in size or have something in it's area :P03:16
milleja46it kinda hit me while mowing grass what it was that made it disappear and reappear...03:17
* milleja46 loves those random moments when he discovers or figures out how to make something work...03:20
holsteinhehe03:20
milleja46holstein: don't tell me you're testing that theory now?03:20
holsteinmilleja46: nah, i dont have 11.04 on anything handy03:21
holsteini have it on a testing machine at home03:22
milleja46aww what a shame03:22
holsteinyeah?03:23
holsteinim having a great time in 10.04 :)03:23
milleja46ehh i really like 11.04 alot better than previous03:23
milleja46versions03:24
holsteinunity is not for me03:24
holsteintheres nothing in 11.04 i feel like i *must* have03:24
milleja46holstein: it is for me :D and it'll get better with time(don't perfer games made with it though)03:24
holsteinthere are some things about 10.04 i need though03:24
milleja46holstein: well i bet in 12.04 it'll be better03:24
holsteinmilleja46: i'll let you know :)03:25
milleja46holstein: their not availible in 11?03:25
holsteini'll probably put 11.10 on my netbook soon03:25
* milleja46 needs to get a netbook just for linux stuff :P03:25
holsteinubuntustudio is switching to XFCE, and i want to do some testing there03:25
milleja46nice03:25
milleja46well i'm gonna head out and go to bed and be back in the morning :D03:26
holsteinthats why i have 10.10 and 11.04 installs03:26
holsteinmilleja46: GN03:26
milleja46holstein: before i head out, why don't you dual boot the two? i bet it's possible03:26
holsteinim actually triple booting them on my studio laptop03:27
holsteinbut, i dont really want/need anything but 10.04 on my production machine03:27
holsteinor my server03:27
holsteinmy netbook could move up though03:27
milleja46well i definitly need to get a extra computer possibly a netbook fully devoted to linux distros and similar03:30
holsteini got a few03:30
holsteini got an hp mini that is pretty sweet03:30
holsteinone of the early ones03:30
holsteincame with suse03:30
holsteinthe via chips are a PITA03:30
holsteinbut, its got an express card slot03:30
holsteini have an EEE900 that came with xandros03:30
holsteinand i got a new-ish 1001p eee from craigslist03:31
holsteinkinda recently03:31
holsteini saved the win7 install on it, but i havent used it03:31
holsteinnext time, im just going to wipe the whole thing03:31
milleja46well i still use win 7 just because of the fact alot of games i play which most don't even know exist are windows only and some of my best stuff is windows only03:32
milleja46plus iTunes is windows only and i need the store from time to time as well for apps and the such03:32
milleja46(windows only for me because mac is expensive)03:33
milleja46walmart and radioshack are going to become my best friends for computer stuff since they are so cheap on some of it03:33
holsteini have an osx machine in the house03:33
holsteinmy girlfriend uses it mostly03:33
milleja46holstein: i will once i can build up the cash too expensive when you don't have a job :P03:34
holsteini tunes on windows is pathetic03:34
milleja46it is, but the only way i like it, messing around with apps and all that without itunes is just odd03:34
holsteinhey, to each his own03:35
holsteinthats why pencils have erasers03:35
holsteinso i can pull them off and throw them at you while you're using itunes ;)03:35
milleja46well bed time before i stay up too late, gotta take trash out early because hopefully last day of these cans :P03:35
holsteinGN03:35
milleja46though i'll have two to haul when those start to circulate -_-03:36
holsteinnice to see a new-ish face around here :)03:36
_marx_no doubt03:39
milleja46hi11:54
_marx_moanin'12:01
milleja46_marx_: mornin'12:05
BugeyeDmilleja46: most of my mental breakthroughs occur while mowing. i should probably mow more often.14:37
milleja46BugeyeD: mine just happen at the most random of moments XD14:38
BugeyeDholstein: where were you during self? did you show up and not track me down?14:38
milleja46and mowing just happened to be that random moment14:38
BugeyeDmowing is about the only mindless task i have, so that's when my brain gets a breather.14:39
BugeyeDholstein: i kept my word and wore an openbsd shirt on the busiest day. :)14:39
BugeyeDbtw, any rumblings about having ubuntuone support outside of, ahem, ubuntu?14:40
milleja46 BugeyeD: i have several mindless tasks but mowing is the only one i've been able to stick too...i need to get into learning PyQt14:41
* milleja46 doesn't know where he put his PyQt book on his computer XD14:43
BugeyeDi'm betting that'd be hard to do while mowing14:46
milleja46ha ha14:46
* milleja46 is looking to be a software/game dev after high school14:48
milleja46just gotta find where i put that book and it's on the host OS not on ubuntu XD14:53
milleja46b?VnkglnGVFn';lgmhjnm';hfgnjkgfhoitfcxjh15:00
milleja46 gjfsrghir15:00
milleja46^whoops sorry about that -_-15:02
milleja46hmm, anyone know how to use the version15:11
milleja46hmm, anyone know how to use the windows version of ubuntu-one?*15:11
holsteinBugeyeD: i didnt make it15:15
holsteini should have, but i got busy around the house15:15
milleja46brb going into quassel and getting out of empathy15:15
holsteinit was my understanding that there would be ubuntuone windows and OSX clients at some point15:16
holsteini didnt read that anywhere officially though15:17
BugeyeDi bought music via ubuntu's new store and the files are of course stored on uo. so here i am at work, and our corp proxy won't allow connection to uo. grrr.15:19
BugeyeDi'm missing me some joe satriani. :/15:19
holsteinhehe15:20
BugeyeDholstein: i figured as much, but wondered ... i was hanging out with jim (sudo make coffee) and someone from your neck of the woods started chatting us up. i introduced myself (first name only) and shook his hand but detected no glimmer of recognition. so i assumed it was not you.15:21
milleja46ok i'm back :D15:27
holsteinmilleja46: o/15:28
milleja46now just to figure out how to use ubuntuone client on windows, and set up quassel on windows XD15:29
holsteini want to be clear that if windows works for folks thats great15:31
holsteini think windows is getting better and better all the time15:32
holsteinBUT, i feel like one of the best things i did was wipe windows15:32
milleja46yea the only true flaw is security15:32
holsteini remember trying to get samba running15:32
holsteintrying to get linux to talke to windows15:32
milleja46only one windows product i can't stand: windows server15:33
holsteini remember having a mind-limbering idea one day "what if i go the other way"15:33
holsteini started doing ssh instead15:33
holsteinand making windows connect however it could15:33
holsteinwith sftp or puTTy15:33
holstein*much* easier setup, and more stable in my use cases15:34
holsteinnot to mention security15:34
holsteini strive to *not* be snooty about windows15:35
holsteini want folks to use what works for them, whatever that is15:35
BugeyeDvolkswagens work for me16:14
BugeyeDso do jeeps16:14
* holstein 's jeep runs linux ;)16:14
BugeyeDmy current jeep is a 4-cylinder. not even strong enough for netbook edition.16:15
BugeyeDmy last one ran compiz, though.16:15
milleja46eww jeeps....gas guzzlers16:27
milleja46i'll stick to my honda civic :)16:27
BugeyeDmy jeep gets 20mpg, almost unheard of for a jeep. that's the reason for the 4cyl. of course my vws get much better. :)16:36
Tracy_PIs it an old carburetor based engine?16:37
BugeyeDno, the jeep is a '99 wrangler. all but one of the vws have a carb though.16:37
BugeyeDand i'm getting ready to sell the one fi.16:38
BugeyeDthe one with fi, that is.16:38
BugeyeDof course the one with fi gets 30+ mpg, i just never drive it.16:38
BugeyeDit's fun, though. a gti. a few of my buddies have them and race them.16:39
BugeyeDi have two jobs, they have a life.16:39
Tracy_Pyou'll have a retirement, they'll be scraping by16:40
Tracy_PI know this is OT, but I had an older car and thought about using this until I found out I couldn't get it installed after a specific sensor that would cause the computer to freak out. http://www.hhokitsdirect.com/HHO-Generators.php16:42
Tracy_POT for ubuntu, that is16:43
BugeyeDi have an hho generator, just haven't had time to install it yet. and of course i'm getting ready to sell the car it was purchased for. i'm sure it'll work on something else. perhaps my jeep.16:49
Tracy_PI've entertained the idea of having a jeep as a second car. I've just not put myself there. Recently purchased a new car, so it will be a few years before I decide to think about it again.16:51
Tracy_PI'd put an hho on the jeep, if it's capable. Less computer to be in the way.16:51
milleja46ok quick question, how did we get on the subject of cars? XD16:52
* milleja46 now wants to watch cars 2 XD16:52
* Tracy_P shrugs.16:54
Tracy_PWas the topic when I got here this morning.16:54
Tracy_PThey made a sequel to that full length cartoon?16:55
milleja46Tracy_P: yea, haven't you seen the commmercials?16:55
Tracy_PI don't have TV/Cable/Satellite by choice.16:56
Tracy_PI use Privoxy to block most adverts on the web.16:56
milleja46Tracy_P: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg5hj2c5Nkk&feature=channel_video_title16:56
milleja46now somehow mater is a spy and has to save queen from people trying to ruin a grand prix16:57
milleja46i'd rather have tv so i can watch boomerang16:58
Tracy_PI first read that as bloomberg.17:00
milleja46XD17:00
Tracy_POkay, I'll watch the sequel.17:00
milleja46boomerang is the classic version of cartoonnetwork showing stuff like flintstones  and jetsons :D17:00
Tracy_PI found I get irritated by commercials, so I discontinued the cable service at home. More time for my studies for my day job and personal conquests.17:03
milleja46that's why i mute the commercials and do something like computer stuff when they're on17:03
* milleja46 can't stand most of the stuff made today....17:04
Tracy_Pnot made to last, made to increase profits17:04
* milleja46 tries to find how to sync stuff from windows host to ubuntu1....hmm17:06
milleja46crud....have to sign out windows ubuntu1 XD17:10
Tracy_PWhat?17:11
milleja46i was trying to copy a pdf file i had on windows to ubuntu vm17:11
Tracy_PUsing VirtualBox or ?17:11
milleja46virtual box17:11
milleja46it's syncing right now in buntu17:12
Tracy_Pso it's working?17:12
milleja46i think so17:12
Tracy_PVirtualBox extensions don't allow drag/drop support?17:13
milleja46not that i know of17:13
milleja46yay! there it is!17:15
Tracy_Pbomb threat in Downtown Asheville.17:20
milleja46geez 164 updates to my ubuntu vm XD17:33
Tracy_Papparently I used the wrong word and my internet was turned off for 15 minutes as a warning17:41
milleja46sometimes i really think my sister strives to do nothing but make me mad17:42
Tracy_Psiblings can do that for a good part of ones life17:56
milleja46she can mess with anything of mine but when it comes to my computer stuff i have a right to get mad :)17:58
milleja46hi21:44
holsteinmilleja46: o/22:30
milleja46holstein: hi22:30
* milleja46 is using quassel :D ...just not the right way since he doesn't have a proper quassel core....22:35
* BugeyeD is using irssi and screen. possibly switching from screen to tmux at some point in the not-too-distant future.22:45
BugeyeDbut i've been doing irssi/screen for *years*22:45
holsteinyeah, ive been using irssr+screen for a few years now22:46
holsteini cant imagine going back22:46
holsteinxchat worked well though22:46
BugeyeDi've been using irssi/screen since the days of pine. which is long since gone, of course, but i still keep it server-based by using webmail.22:46
=== milleja46_ is now known as milleja46
milleja46ok i'm back :D23:02
