[14:07] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[16:15] <willwh> howdy
[16:18] <BluesKaj> hi willwh
[16:23] <willwh> :)
[16:23] <willwh> how's it going BluesKaj ?
[16:25] <BluesKaj> ok here, some rain ..but we need it
[16:30] <willwh> I hear that
[19:08] <khoover> well, just got ubuntu
[19:09] <billybigrigger_> and.....
[19:09] <khoover> eh, just making sure, you guys are reading me as khoover, not IRC, right?
[19:09] <billybigrigger_> i read ya loud and clear
[19:10] <khoover> alright. pidgin looks weird with the non-monospace font.
[19:14] <willwh> pidgin is horrible for irc, imo ;]
[19:15] <khoover> aha, well, what's a better one, then? since i'm new.
[19:15] <willwh> if you want a native IRC client - I'd strongly suggest x-chat, if you want something with a gui :)
[19:16] <willwh> apt-get install xchat
[19:16] <willwh> :]
[19:16] <khoover> ah, k.
[19:16] <billybigrigger_> that's what i use
[19:16] <billybigrigger_> willwh, you using xchat in .04 or .10?
[19:16] <billybigrigger_> web links don't seem to open for me in 11.10
[19:16] <willwh> I don't, I use irssi :]
[19:16] <billybigrigger_> ahh :P
[19:19] <khoover> well, let's try xchat, then. it have server-connect scripting built in?
[19:19] <khoover> also, i'm loving aptitude.
[19:20] <willwh> khoover: yeah aptitude is great
[19:20] <willwh> khoover: you mean for passing ident / etc?
[19:20] <willwh> yeah
[19:20] <khoover> willwh: yeah
[19:20] <khoover> it has it?
[19:20] <willwh> http://xchat.org/docs/
[19:20] <willwh> oh yeah
[19:21] <willwh> http://docs.zetaboards.com/irc/xchat
[19:22] <willwh> is a decent enough guide for it
[19:22] <khoover_> aaaaaah.
[19:22] <willwh> obviously, replace ChatSpike with Freenode :p
[19:23] <willwh> http://xchat.org/faq/ <- helpful
[19:23] <willwh> billybigrigger_: stop unplugging your router
[19:23] <willwh> D:
[19:24] <billybigrigger_> ubuntu 2d it is
[19:24] <billybigrigger_> feckin compiz
[19:25] <khoover> ok, that was annoying
[19:25] <willwh> what? :]
[19:26] <khoover> computer decided to shutdown instantly. probably using too much
[19:26] <khoover> CPU w/ boinc
[19:30] <khoover> ah well
[19:32] <khoover> any way to limit BOINC to ~90 properly?
[19:38] <khoover> why is it that i seem to crash so often running boinc on full throttle?
[19:52] <cyphermox> khoover: nice it?
[19:53] <cyphermox> khoover: otherwise: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/cpu-usage-limiter-for-linux/
[19:55] <khoover> problem with both of those is that they're process specific. w/ BOINC, it's really several different apps being coordinated by another one, with apps coming and going rapidly. >_<
[19:59] <khoover_> bah, just happened again
[20:01] <willwh> http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Preferences
[20:01] <willwh> states "Use at most X% of CPU time"?
[20:02] <willwh> in general prefs
[20:03] <khoover_> still manages to crash. probably cause my laptop has rather crappy cooling.
[20:07] <willwh> khoover: I wouldn't run boinc on a laptop ;]
