[06:04] <_marx_> akgraner: please email me soon
[06:19] <_marx_> maybe i am blind but there are very few new users in nc
[06:20] <_marx_> analytics show very low
[06:22] <_marx_> linux desktop adoption capped out a year or two ago; imho unity has not helped
[06:23] <_marx_> desktop usage, imho
[06:24] <_marx_> it needed some huge gains over the last decade; which have not materialized
[06:35] <_marx_> do your research; ibm quit a few years ago
[06:36] <_marx_> can you say niche desktop?
[06:39] <_marx_> what corporation is going to roll out the current?
[06:41] <_marx_> zero
[06:42] <_marx_> new users what a joke; no way in hell i'll hand out a 11.04 livecd
[06:43] <_marx_> yes i know this is a logged channel
[06:47] <_marx_> there are very few daily users on our team's mailing list
[06:47] <_marx_> mostly it's geeks and devels
[06:48] <_marx_> do any of you recruit?
[06:48] <_marx_> i do not
[06:48] <_marx_> it is not worth the effort
[06:48] <_marx_> i support a couple of grandmas
[06:49] <_marx_> my own shit
[06:49] <_marx_> fuckina log it
[06:50] <_marx_> 2 49 am your kids should be in bed
[06:52] <_marx_> choice went somewhere
[06:52] <_marx_> i'll see if i can find her
[06:54] <_marx_> desktop team should be fired imo; oh i'll be at the next uds
[06:56] <_marx_> we certainly do need more acronyms
[06:58] <_marx_> my email addresses are well known.
[06:59] <_marx_> when channel ownership needs to change someone can use one of those addresses
[07:00] <_marx_> out here
[08:39] <_marx_> now i am going to remain rudely the op
[08:39] <_marx_> as i own the channel
[08:39] <_marx_> i WANT someone else to take over
[08:40] <_marx_> soon
[08:40] <_marx_> i am tired
[08:41] <_marx_> see the nc team mailing list email i just sent
[08:41] <_marx_> later
[13:03] <akgraner> Hi all  - sorry I haven't been around was without internet at the house for about 10 days (lightning storms)...and since I can't drive yet I was a bit stuck
[13:03] <akgraner> I'll go through all my email today and get caught up
[13:06] <internalkernel> hi akgraner
[13:06] <akgraner> internalkernel, hi
[13:06] <internalkernel> been awhile...
[13:07] <akgraner> yep
[13:07] <internalkernel> I been on the road until last week pretty much...
[13:07] <akgraner> silly fractured knee business
[13:07] <internalkernel> did you make SELF? I read something about that on facebook... how did you do that?
[13:07] <akgraner> it's really limited what I can and can't do
[13:07] <internalkernel> I can imagine... knees are rather... mmm... important
[13:07] <akgraner> coupldn't make it
[13:07] <akgraner> I can't drive yet
[13:08] <internalkernel> not even with the other foot?
[13:08] <internalkernel> lol... I had to do that once...
[13:08] <akgraner> when I fell on the way back from UDS I fractured the stablizer bone in my knee
[13:08] <internalkernel> it wasn't pretty... and it scared me... :)
[13:09] <akgraner> and found out the left side of my right knee the muscle is gone...and won't help keep the knee cap in place so if any weight is put on it the bottom of my right left wants to turn inward to the left
[13:09] <akgraner> so physical therapy 3 times a week
[13:09] <akgraner> on crutches for another 3 or 4 weeks min...maybe more
[13:10] <internalkernel> holy... omg, that is hard core...
[13:10] <akgraner> and today I go to be fitted for custom braces
[13:10] <internalkernel> I would suggest acupuncture... ;) but you're so far away...
[13:10] <akgraner> internalkernel, y'all can come for a visit
[13:10] <internalkernel> haha, true that!
[13:11] <akgraner> see the new house we'll supply dinner you can supply the acupuncture

[13:12] <akgraner> I'm actually in Asheville once a week from now until sept
[13:12] <internalkernel> ohh... drop a line on the next visit...
[13:12] <akgraner> maybe I can just make a day of it - if my driver can spend the day with me in Asheville

[14:19] <internalkernel> lol... I like that comment nerd rage... Im going with it...
[14:58] <internalkernel> nerd... rage...
[14:59] <internalkernel> Raaar... I'm the channel OP! I OWN IT!
