[17:28] <nathwill> god mcr is a tool
[18:11] <bkerensa> :P

[18:12] <nathwill> i just added his domain to my postfix header_reject list
[18:12] <nathwill> i'm so sick of it
[18:14] <bkerensa> nathwill: You wanna design the Ubuntu Oregon Ocelot shirt :)
[18:14] <bkerensa> ?
[18:15] <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
[18:18] <nathwill> i'm a hacker, i can't even match colors
[18:21] <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

[18:39] <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
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <nathwill> who do you like to use as a reg?
[18:41] <nathwill> i've heard good things about ghandi.net
[18:55] <bkerensa> LOL
[18:55] <bkerensa> Namecheap.com
[18:55] <bkerensa> they wont Lifehacker's Best Registrar recognition
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <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
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <bkerensa> I own BeaverJournal.com
[19:03] <bkerensa> :D
[19:03] <nathwill> oh jeez
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <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
[19:10] <c_smith> hello
[19:13] <bkerensa> hi
[19:14] <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.
[19:15] <c_smith> http://www.humblebundle.com/
[19:15] <c_smith> you pay any price starting from 1 cent, and get a bundle of games.
[19:16] <c_smith> sadly, the payment methods are Paypal, Amazon Payments and Google Checkout.
[19:16] <bkerensa> I have no idea what that is
[19:20] <c_smith> it's a name-your-price set of games.
[19:22] <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.
[19:25] <Brian_H> anyone here used landscape to manage workstations (does it do that)?
[19:27] <c_smith> I myself have never used the term workstation in relation to anything.
[19:28] <c_smith> and I do not know what Landscape is, apart from the landscape definition you would find in a dictionary.
[19:29] <Brian_H> :) it's canonicals management interface
[19:29] <Brian_H> similar to what rhel offers its customers
[19:30] <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
[19:32] <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
[19:38] <Brian_H> thats what I was thinking
[19:38] <Brian_H> just not sure I want to pay for it lol
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <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?
[19:50] <Brian_H> updates and some form of a policy
[19:50] <Brian_H> when to shut off screen, screen savers, passwords etc
[19:51] <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
[19:53] <c_smith> bleh, Firefox 7 STILL hasn't hit the update servers......
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <bkerensa> CLick to DIal?
[19:57] <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 :)
[19:58] <bkerensa> :P
[19:58] <bkerensa> $100 to Migrate a vBulletin site
[19:58] <bkerensa> Nice
[19:58] <bkerensa> :D
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <c_smith> hmmmm, interesting,
[20:07] <Brian_H> I need a new laptop
[20:08] <Brian_H> anyone have any suggestions? been a while since I've shopped
[20:10] <bkerensa> depends what your going to run?
[20:10] <Brian_H> linux, probably ubuntu
[20:10] <bkerensa> Just Linux? or Ubuntu?
[20:10] <bkerensa> eck
[20:10] <bkerensa> any Windows I mean?
[20:10] <Brian_H> would like something to test out the latest and greatest
[20:11] <Brian_H> nah
[20:11] <bkerensa> well they have come out with a few laptops that are pretty slim like a MacBook Air
[20:11] <bkerensa> yet have good specs
[20:11] <bkerensa> and they are rugged
[20:11] <bkerensa> Dell Inspiron 14z's are nice
[20:11] <bkerensa> I just got one today
[20:11] <bkerensa> :D
[20:12] <Brian_H> I'll google it
[20:12] <Brian_H> interesting and cheap too
[20:13] <Brian_H> does it have nvidia ?
[20:14] <bkerensa> If you want it
[20:14] <bkerensa> customizeable
[20:14] <Brian_H> oh I do ;)
[20:14] <bkerensa> :D
[20:15] <Brian_H> I have the best luck with nvidia
