[02:52] <MarkDude> aaditya, I need your Gmail to add you
[05:11] <grantbow> ariley: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeTroubleshooting
[05:12] <sn9> he's not here
[05:13] <grantbow> I'm emailing him too, just thought others would be interested as I'm having similar problems
[05:14] <sn9> i'm still on 10.10 so wouldn't know
[05:15] <grantbow> 10.04 has a similar problem to what I talked to ariley about last night
[05:17] <sn9> every version does
[05:17] <sn9> it's just not stable
[05:20] <grantbow> good to know, thanks
[05:22] <seidos> i think bigbluebutton.com works pretty good.  my webcam worked with it, which is odd since cheese doesn't work so hot.  i haven't tested it with anyone though.
[05:22] <seidos> i have a toshiba
[05:23] <grantbow> interesting
[05:25] <grantbow> floss weekly on bigbluebutton: http://twit.tv/floss147

[05:25] <MarkDude> Since you are so social G :D

[05:27] <MarkDude> Well, I have not seen the invites stop yet- I bet it has some sort of algorithm to pick which folks to limit- I have 17 people I think
[05:31] <seidos> i just moved all my email off google's server, back to pop
[05:31] <seidos> i trimmed down my inbox from 11k mails to 302 :D
[15:17] <Ikthel> Hello ^_^ is anyone online at the moment? Not looking for any trouble shooting help or anything just want to ask opinions.
[15:19] <Ikthel> The input im looking for is people's take on Gnome3 as opposed to KDE4 not looking to start a flame war but rather ask why people prefer certain Desktop Environments.
[15:20] <sn9> it's just personal preference
[15:22] <Ikthel> I myself like many others am not a big fan of Unity so I've sort of jumped ships if you will and have been trying other distro's and I'm liking bits and pieces of the different environments and seeing as my computing skills fall short of being able to forge a hybrid desktop environment
[15:22] <Ikthel> I'm just curious about people's main uses/reasons for their choices
[15:23] <Ikthel> At the moment Gnome 3 is fun for me but I've been eyeballing some of the cosmetic effects on KDE4
[15:25] <Ikthel> was wondering if maybe there is a way to incorporate the effects seen in KDE4 into Gnome 3 =?
[18:09] <MarkDude> Anything interesting going on tonight in the Bay Area?
[18:10] <pleia2> no
[18:10] <pleia2> :D

[20:27] <MarkDude> Apparently that bug will be fixed
[20:27] <MarkDude> To make it more like RT on Twitter
[20:39] <jledbetter> Totally agree re animated gifs.
[20:39] <MarkDude> jledbetter, I am calling that their myspace grab
[20:40] <jledbetter> Thought it was an autostart of a video then saw the loop
[20:40] <jledbetter> MarkDude, haha
[20:40] <MarkDude> Hopefully sparkles are not next on list
[20:40] <MarkDude> Even FB allows animated jpgs
[20:40]  * MarkDude does not know of Open Source way to make those
[20:41] <jledbetter> You tempt me... I have lots of work to do but now I want to make sparkles just to +mark ;)
[20:41] <jledbetter> And ponycorns!
[20:41] <akk> animated jpgs?
[20:42] <akk> I have a javascript sparkle program (used in the class for teenaged girls, to make Edward the vampire sparkle :)
[20:42]  * akk wonders if that example is totally outre this year
[20:44] <jledbetter> Haha! Edward sparkle. Funny :)
[20:58] <grantbow> MarkDude: dvlug.org please, not GrantLUG.
[20:58] <grantbow> it's more than just me
[20:59] <grantbow> unless you want me to rename gidgetkitchen :-)
[20:59] <MarkDude> Of course I do
[21:00] <MarkDude> Or maybe GK rocks!
[21:00] <MarkDude> GK rocks, and Severd Fifth maybe
[21:00] <grantbow> MarkJunk?
[21:00] <MarkDude> Or Jono MFing Bacon appreciation society
[21:00] <MarkDude> :D
[21:01] <grantbow> j/k
[21:07] <MarkDude> pleia2, somehow it is showing 3 pics of Simcoe in a row
[21:09] <pleia2> yeah, picasaweb is being special
[21:09] <pleia2> I deleted them
[21:10] <pleia2> even better, it seems to have lost evil simcoe entirely in picasaweb itself!
[21:15] <MarkDude> Bad Picasa
[21:49] <seidos> Who is Mr. Popper?
[21:51] <sn9> seidos: "mr. popper's penguins" was one of my fave books when i was at the age at which i read it
[21:58] <seidos> sn9: crazy
[23:34] <philipballew> there's a lady next to me at starbucks who lugged in a mac desktop, monitor and keyboard. all I can ask is why...
[23:35] <seidos> she doesn't have a notebook?
[23:35] <broder> that's actually kind of impressive
[23:36] <philipballew> she has a power strip that all of it is running off of.
[23:36] <seidos> maybe it's how she gets her exercise
[23:37] <philipballew> seidos, nope. she had the keyboard on her lap and the monitor on a chair in front. I assume she just doesn't have Internet at her house. I rode my bike here so i got a little :)
[23:37] <seidos> you should ask her if she wants an ubuntu cd
[23:38] <sn9> is it an imac?
[23:38] <philipballew> i think it might be a mac mini. nevertheless shr needs a powerstrip with 4 items plugged it sn9
[23:38] <sn9> the mini is a tiny square box
[23:39] <philipballew> then its not that
[23:39] <philipballew> they use to have desktops. its not one of their giant ones. and its not all in one. haha
[23:40] <sn9> not in many, many years
[23:40] <sn9> 1998 iirc
[23:41] <philipballew> the imac is nice because its all in one, but somewhat bad because its hard to get into the insides
[23:42] <sn9> it's not hard
[23:42] <sn9> well, depending which model
[23:45] <philipballew> haha. its a mac though.
[23:45] <philipballew> someone gave me one of the old imac crt monitor all in one's a few months back. cant find anything to do with something with 64mb of ram
[23:46] <sn9> they can take more ram
[23:46] <sn9> the oldest ones can take half a gig
[23:46] <sn9> newer, more
