[13:19] module000: Artemis appears to work under wine [13:20] at least the program runs. haven't got to do more testing yet [13:20] that's promising, do all the players need to buy a copy? [13:20] no [13:21] just need 1 [13:21] i want to buy a copy, i just need to find some people to play with - gonig to ask some coworkers that may have some trekkie in them [13:22] you can try the demo [13:23] it's good for 3 stations - main screen, helm & weapons [13:23] hrm, giong to download it now ;] [13:24] you'll need a video card that supports pixel shader 2.0 [13:24] but that's fairly easy to come by these days [13:25] yea, my home video card will [13:29] I need to find me 6 cheap laptops for this :) [13:30] I'm thinking about running this at conventions [13:31] it would bring people in for sure, a real "team sport" multiplayer game [13:31] need a bulk discount for these: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=339045&sku=P101-156200 [13:31] probably some cheaper ones that would do it though available [13:32] yeah [13:32] going to ask a friend who can get off-lease machines [13:33] wonder if I can find a sponsor... [14:03] this would give me something besides minecraft to play also, that's my go-to time sink lately [14:04] yeah same here [14:04] in fact I need to upgrade our server today [14:05] for 1.8 [14:08] and done [14:14] we did ours for #lxgc yesterday, only found 1 "village" so far [14:14] but we didn't gen a new map, just used the old one...if you explore a ways out of your old map it will gen some new content though [14:16] yeah I didn't gen a new map either [14:16] might for 1.9 [14:16] as we want to do raids on the villages once npcs are there [14:28] who do you play with by the way? [14:32] people at the game store I work at [14:32] customers usualy [14:49] what's lxgc? [14:49] I know it's a channel on here, but besides that [14:51] ok,think I figured it out [14:52] looks like the website's not coming up [15:17] oh, i don't think we've had a site for awhile [15:18] we've dwindled to maybe a dozen members...i think we all just got lazy [15:18] it's a bunch of linux gamers though [15:20] channel very active? [15:24] once upon a time..now we've erally died down though [15:25] we used to have weekly games though, 20-30 players...was alot of fun :) [15:25] you reminded me we need a site again though, going to throw up default wordpress and let them see what they come up with [15:32] I wish linux-gamers live kept up to date [15:32] think that might help with linux gaming [15:33] me too [15:33] i dunno what happened with lxgc, once upon a time it was really vibrant and active, then everyone just got busy i guess [15:52] hey y'all [15:52] heya [15:53] got that weird error about the swap partition not mounting again this morning, but it doesn't seem to be affecting performance. [15:58] hey [16:01] hi everyone! [16:01] hey kwad [16:01] hey treach [16:01] i'm going to the meeting in conway tomorrow. anyone else going?

[19:36] heh heh [19:52] snide are you going to the meetup in conway tomorrow? [19:52] er, snide_ rather [19:53] i plan on it [19:53] cool cool me too [19:53] just so early in the morning... [19:53] 2pm [19:53] LOL [19:57] hehe [19:58] i don't have any expertise to offer, so i'll probably just listen [19:59] yeah man i don't know anything myself [19:59] What goes on at the meetings? [19:59] I've never been to one [20:00] it's not a regularly scheduled meeting [20:00] how often? [20:00] only 1 [20:00] it was sent in an email to the carlug.org mailing list [20:00] hmm so you've all no idea what to expect? [20:01] well, at the very least, you will get to meet kwadroke [20:01] and believe me, its worth it [20:01] although evil_kwadroke is even better [20:01] Well, it's two hours away, I might have gone to the next one [20:01] but I don't think I can get the car tomorrow [20:02] whereabouts do you live? [20:02] sw arkansas [20:02] it's a "hey we're out here" meeting, I believe [20:02] eeks yeah [20:02] can't help you [20:02] oh no, it's cool, it's not that bad of a drive really, just late notice I just found out this morning from I think kwad [20:03] there is a cute guy there I wanted to meet anyway, tehehe, too bad really [20:03] kill two birds with one stone kind of thing. [20:03] I need to sign up for that mailing list though [20:03] i'm not going to shave [20:03] hawt, mountain men are sexy [20:04] hey does anyone in here know much about cosmology? [20:04] haha everyone shaves in arizona :P [20:04] I wonder if you men keep the beard for the cold weather [20:04] The science of the origin and development of the universe. Modern astronomy is dominated by the big bang theory, which brings together observational astronomy and particle physics. [20:04] ah yes [20:05] well somewhat more specifically: [20:05] I only grow half a beard. It looks pathetic [20:05] so the big news is, of course, that they found two stars with an exoplanet [20:05] but i had read that it was strongly believed that such a configuration was impossible [20:05] cold as hell here, people are walking around in their t-shirts and shorts, it's 65 degrees outside [20:05] ridiculous [20:05] Mailing list: http://carlug.org/mailman/listinfo/carlug-discuss [20:06] I'm in a damn parka. [20:06] in that due to the orbits, the planet would either be slung out of orbit, or slung into one of the stars [20:06] snide_ I'm also uh.. *kinda* new to linux :) I haven't used it in quite a while, been pouring through books, etc to get up to speed [20:07] i heard on npr a few weeks ago about planets that are believed to not be orbiting any stars [20:07] ah, i have not been keeping up with npr like i used to [20:08] they're not orbiting other stars, hence exoplanets (if I remember correctly) [20:08] thanks kwad [20:09] opposite [20:09] exoplanet means not orbiting our star [20:10] a very earth-centric term, of course, which would i suppose irritate anyone living on those other planets, which i am betting against [20:11] lag is going to be the death of me. [20:11] hehe [20:15] where is this meeting being held in conway? [20:15] st peter's episcopal church, right next to conway high school [20:16] at 2pm? [20:16] jes [20:16] alright [20:16] maybe I'll find a way to make it :P [20:16] awesome blossom [20:17] oh shit [20:17] I can make it [20:17] I forgot it's saturday tomorrow [20:17] I have the car [20:17] lol [20:17] snide_: ah [20:17] ok [20:19] hey kwadroke, will you be there tomorrow? [20:19] depends if I have to work at CGC or not [20:20] did you guys ever move? [20:22] no... and I just found out a bit ago that we'll have to find somewhere else. [20:22] what?? [20:22] they decided that they were going to sell the place [20:22] that we were going to move into [20:22] well snap [20:22] we were just going up to sign the contracts today [20:22] hey you are welcome to use that other trailer on my property....... [20:23] heh [20:23] how cold is it up there around conway? [20:23] not cold, but the oddest thing just happened a few minutes ago [20:24] i had to run outside to see it [20:24] there was this...hard to describe, but [20:24] do tell [20:24] almost like some sort of... water like substance, falling from the sky [20:24] rain [20:24] lol [20:25] R A I N [20:25] yes! [20:25] i remember now [20:25] so it's cold and rainy there? blah [20:25] I've never been to little rock [20:25] ah [20:25] I just moved here.. so I don't know the weather smarty pants :P [20:25] oh [20:26] there's a saying about arkansas weather [20:26] if you don't like it, stick around it will change [20:28] and actually i am not in conway, and in fact i think kawd isn't at the moment either [20:29] but the weather is much the same in the area right now [20:30] so basically I should dress like an eskimo if I go, great :) [20:30] uh, well unless you are my size, which leaves me in shorts & tshirt right now [20:31] uh no, I'm 5'1 and require a lot of coats. [20:31] so what, primer, maybe two coats, topcoat at least two? yeah, i've been there [20:31] ha [20:32] if only we were talking about a car :P [20:32] which btw I fixed mine yesterday, had to change a bunch of hoses, which makes me a bit reluctant to chance the drive [20:33] we'll see, I would love to go honestly, so we'll see [20:34] well i hope to see everybody there, but i have to bolt [20:34] bye [20:50] it would be cool if the lug group could create something useful for linux.. to add to it.. [20:54] like what? [20:54] I've no idea, it was just a random thought [20:54] I guess it depends a lot on how many people show up tomorrow if any interest could be gotten from the idea [20:57] well, that meeting is not a Linux meeting [20:57] they're just inviting us [20:57] nod, what exactly kind of meeting is it? [20:58] don't answer that, anyway I'm sure it's something that might be brought up in the future [20:58] http://kwadrix.com/pastebin/4e73b878cf954.txt [21:04] hmm sounds kinda like a survivors meeting [21:04] only because of the food security bit :P [21:23] kwad, is cube 2 resource-heavy? [21:23] sauerbraten? [21:23] not really [21:23] what are you running it on? [21:23] or want to run it on? [21:24] dell inspiron 1525 / linux mint [21:24] video card? [21:24] none, it's a laptop [21:24] well, it still has one [21:24] onboard [21:25] integrated [21:25] lspci | grep VGA [21:25] run that [21:25] that will tell us what kind of chipset it has [21:25] what mine says: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) [21:25] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c) [21:26] i'm downloading sauerbraten now [21:27] not sure what kind of card that is [21:27] 3d support could be lacking [21:29] i'll give it a try ... [21:32] the screenshots look cool [21:32] yeah [21:36] I've played it many times [21:36] had my own server up for a while too [21:38] yeah i saw it on your website [21:39] which one? [21:39] I have many [21:40] kwadrix.com [21:40] ok [21:40] http://kwadrix.com/2011/06/30/sauerbraten-server/ [21:41] theoretically it should be still running [21:41] but my ip address updater on the router is not working [21:55] that's an interesting game [21:55] i think it would be better if i were using a mouse though [21:55] instead of the laptop's touchpad [22:04] yeah, touch pads suck for fps's [22:06] i have a mouse over there on the table but i'm too lazy to get up and get it [22:16] lol [22:18] hmm any of you ever been to arkadelphia? [22:20] yeah [22:22] oh great [22:22] is there anything fun there? [22:23] and is a dry county? [22:23] wait you may not know the dry county bit I can google that [22:25] can't remember [22:26] hmm [22:26] not much in arkadelphia [22:26] is a date [22:26] neither of us have been to arkadelphia [22:27] but it's a long drive so we were going to meet in the middle hmm [22:27] he's like a really good friend of mine since I've gotten here, he's nice so I wanted to meet him [22:28] actually the only good friend I've made since moving here, meh [22:28] I'll probably screw that up by meeting him, ha [22:30] I have no social etiquette, horrible in person [22:32] I mean if I make it through an hour without embarrassing myself I consider it a success. [22:32] lol [22:35] well, I'm headed home [22:35] cya later [22:35] adios [22:36] treach just remember that he's probably as nervous as you are [22:54] yay homework is done
