| bkerensa | nathwill: You wanna design the Ubuntu Oregon Ocelot shirt :) | 18:14 |
| bkerensa | ? | 18:14 |
| nathwill | you're kidding. i couldn't design my way out of a paper bag | 18:15 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 18:15 |
| bkerensa | ok then | 18:15 |
| nathwill | my own mother refused to hang my kindygarten drawings on the fridge | 18:15 |
| nathwill | i'm a hacker, i can't even match colors | 18:18 |
| nathwill | i can make it *do* whatever, but can't make it *look* like anything... all my "designs" rely heavily on theft | 18:21 |
| nathwill | so yeah | 18:21 |
| nathwill | i'll design a shirt | 18:21 |
| nathwill | :P | 18:21 |

| bkerensa | Dear Benjamin Kerensa, | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | This notice is to inform you that your Yahoo! Domains account has been closed due to nonpayment. | 18:39 |
| nathwill | haha | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | :) | 18:39 |
| nathwill | awesome. you have a yahoo! domains account? | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | I did | 18:39 |
| nathwill | lol | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | You guys offered free domains | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | so I registered some | 18:39 |
| nathwill | whaaa? | 18:39 |
| nathwill | since when? | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | and transferred them all out | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | :P | 18:39 |
| nathwill | haha | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | :P | 18:40 |
| nathwill | a lot of people do that w/ the 1.99 promo | 18:40 |
| bkerensa | It was only like for a day | 18:40 |
| bkerensa | over a year ago | 18:40 |
| nathwill | that's nutty | 18:40 |
| bkerensa | name.com did it once too | 18:40 |
| bkerensa | yeah I hit godaddy every time they have a $1.99 promo | 18:40 |
| bkerensa | :D | 18:40 |
| bkerensa | and transfer to m favorite registrar | 18:40 |
| nathwill | well if you already xferred out it sounds like you're not worried about the closure | 18:40 |
| nathwill | who do you like to use as a reg? | 18:41 |
| nathwill | i've heard good things about ghandi.net | 18:41 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 18:55 |
| bkerensa | Namecheap.com | 18:55 |
| bkerensa | they wont Lifehacker's Best Registrar recognition | 18:55 |
| bkerensa | despite Godaddy offering free domains to customers who voted for them | 18:56 |
| bkerensa | :D | 18:56 |
| bkerensa | I pay $8.20 a year | 18:56 |
| bkerensa | but they have deals all the time so its like $1.99 most of the time | 18:56 |
| bkerensa | and two times a year they give tons of domain registrations away | 18:56 |
| bkerensa | :D | 18:56 |
| bkerensa | but I have a GOLD acct so.... to get my pricing you have to have 50 or 100 active domains | 18:57 |
| bkerensa | :D | 18:57 |
| nathwill | yeah, i have nowhere near that | 19:00 |
| nathwill | i think i have like... 5 | 19:00 |
| nathwill | not counting my work-related testing accounts | 19:00 |
| bkerensa | well they only review once a year I think | 19:01 |
| bkerensa | so they might downgrade me soon | 19:01 |
| bkerensa | since I'm letting a lot expire | 19:01 |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:01 |
| bkerensa | I should be selling them but Im lazy | 19:01 |
| nathwill | yeah, i just let them expire | 19:01 |
| nathwill | i used to have one that i got top rankings for, but not at all related to what the site was about | 19:01 |
| nathwill | little did i know that the domain was an actual thing when i signed up for it | 19:02 |
| nathwill | so i got all kinds of crazy ass search terms showing up in my analytics | 19:02 |
| nathwill | it was kind of hilarious | 19:02 |
| bkerensa | I own BeaverJournal.com | 19:03 |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:03 |
| nathwill | oh jeez | 19:03 |
| bkerensa | and PortlandOffline.com | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | City owns PortlandOnline.com | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | I own so many domains still its not funny | 19:04 |
| nathwill | yeah, i had badgerbait.net and got all kinds of crazy hillbilly queries from the south/midwest us | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | Last year I tried to buy this one domain I wanted but damn domain squatter wouldnt sell | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | I had a few people who were gonna help buy it | 19:04 |
| nathwill | man f* domain squatters | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | and we offered $5,000 | 19:04 |
| bkerensa | It was for a online game we used to develop | 19:05 |
| bkerensa | :( | 19:05 |
| bkerensa | my personal domain still has a year but I think I might re-reg for 10 years soon | 19:05 |
| bkerensa | just to lock it down | 19:05 |
| c_smith | hello | 19:10 |
| bkerensa | hi | 19:13 |
| c_smith | hey, there's a new Humble Bundle out, I's thinking of loading $25 bucks onto a prepaid card I have and getting it, for the bundle, and various other stuff. | 19:14 |
| bkerensa | Humble Bundle? | 19:14 |
| c_smith | the Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle, that's the new Humble bundle. | 19:14 |
| c_smith | http://www.humblebundle.com/ | 19:15 |
| c_smith | you pay any price starting from 1 cent, and get a bundle of games. | 19:15 |
| c_smith | sadly, the payment methods are Paypal, Amazon Payments and Google Checkout. | 19:16 |
| bkerensa | I have no idea what that is | 19:16 |
| c_smith | it's a name-your-price set of games. | 19:20 |
| c_smith | like I said, the minimum price is literally at the minimum possible price in the US: one cent. and I don't know the maximum, but there's people who have paid $251 for this bundle. and you can say what amount goes to each of the charities and what goes to the devs. | 19:22 |
| Brian_H | anyone here used landscape to manage workstations (does it do that)? | 19:25 |
| c_smith | I myself have never used the term workstation in relation to anything. | 19:27 |
| c_smith | and I do not know what Landscape is, apart from the landscape definition you would find in a dictionary. | 19:28 |
| Brian_H | :) it's canonicals management interface | 19:29 |
| Brian_H | similar to what rhel offers its customers | 19:29 |
| Brian_H | basically I need to keep peoples systems working/updated etc and having a centralized place to do so that's easy to manage would be helpful | 19:30 |
| c_smith | that would be useful for ya, then! | 19:32 |
| bkerensa | I have never used Landscape | 19:32 |
| bkerensa | cant be to hard though | 19:32 |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:32 |
| Brian_H | thats what I was thinking | 19:38 |
| Brian_H | just not sure I want to pay for it lol | 19:38 |
| bkerensa | how much do they charge for a license? | 19:39 |
| Brian_H | think 700/machine/year | 19:39 |
| * bkerensa coughs | 19:39 | |
| bkerensa | Umm | 19:39 |
| bkerensa | no | 19:39 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:39 |
| bkerensa | How many machines? | 19:40 |
| bkerensa | For $700 per machine per year you could hire a sysadmin? | 19:40 |
| Brian_H | 4 right now, soon to be 6 | 19:40 |
| bkerensa | oh nvm then | 19:40 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:40 |
| Brian_H | + 6 servers | 19:40 |
| bkerensa | What are you trying to accomplish? | 19:40 |
| bkerensa | Just updates? | 19:40 |
| Brian_H | updates and some form of a policy | 19:50 |
| Brian_H | when to shut off screen, screen savers, passwords etc | 19:50 |
| Brian_H | more so just for the users laptops/desktop is what we are looking for | 19:51 |
| bkerensa | Make bash scripts and run cron jobs? | 19:51 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:51 |
| c_smith | bleh, Firefox 7 STILL hasn't hit the update servers...... | 19:53 |
| Brian_H | are you really that eager for your addons to break? lol | 19:54 |
| c_smith | what addons? | 19:54 |
| c_smith | I haz no addons save for the default ones! | 19:54 |
| bkerensa | I love mine addons | 19:54 |
| c_smith | but frankly, Google Chrome is my default browser. | 19:55 |
| * bkerensa uses a Referrer Spoof Addon and User Agent Changer | 19:55 | |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:55 |
| bkerensa | plus LastPass | 19:55 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:55 |
| bkerensa | but I rarely use FF | 19:55 |
| bkerensa | I use Chrome for the win | 19:55 |
| Brian_H | the show stopper for us is the click to dial | 19:55 |
| c_smith | who here agrees that Google Chrome is a bit better than FF? | 19:55 |
| Brian_H | if chrome had that I'd be all over it | 19:55 |
| bkerensa | CLick to DIal? | 19:56 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Chrome is faster in loading and rendering but its cpu and memory consumption is often higher | 19:57 |
| Brian_H | yup puts nice little icons next to phone numbers then I click it and it rings my phone and auto connects me to the nubmer :) | 19:57 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:58 |
| bkerensa | $100 to Migrate a vBulletin site | 19:58 |
| bkerensa | Nice | 19:58 |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:58 |
| c_smith | Bkerensa, I never noticed that! thanks for the heads up on that. | 19:59 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Chrome spawns child processes and keeps one for every tab and every extension and it keeps them open even after the tab closes for awhile | 19:59 |
| c_smith | hmmmm, interesting, | 20:00 |
| Brian_H | I need a new laptop | 20:07 |
