| jedijf | MutantTurkey: it was awhile ago....wasn't sure it was you until we confirmed in irc | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| MutantTurkey | ah righ | 00:35 |
| MutantTurkey | well we need some sort of signal | 00:35 |
| MutantTurkey | "the path of the jedi is not easy", "nor is the path of the turkey" | 00:35 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: someone who drinks a flavor like orange or grape, will /always/ drink that flavor | 00:41 |
| jedijf | basic sales psychology... | 00:41 |
| jedijf | in sales i have to create an emotional bond..there are no sales with an an enotional impetus | 00:42 |
| jedijf | so i retain weird stuff | 00:43 |
| jedijf | s/with/without | 00:43 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: well actually last time I got coke | 01:38 |
| MutantTurkey | but only there I get orange | 01:38 |
| MutantTurkey | weird but it is what it is | 01:38 |
| MutantTurkey | anyway, I understand about sales. When I worked at 711, i would have cigarettes ready for customers, at 8 oclock sharp I would have a hot cup of joe, 2 packs of Winstons and 3 fresh pretzels every thurs-sun | 01:39 |
| MutantTurkey | stuff like that. | 01:39 |
| InHisName1 | Good at ordering and orange soda, but r u any good at making solutions for linux ? ---- My synaptic mgr reports on my backup linux box-->You have 5 broken packages on your system! Use the "Broken" filter to locate them. | 01:47 |

| teddy-dbear | oh, can I still come? | 13:03 |
| jedijf | teddy-dbears are always welcome | 13:17 |
| teddy-dbear | :-D | 13:19 |
| InHisName | teddy-dbear wasn't even a cotton ball in the field 21- ago. No thread, no weaving, no stuffing, no bear. | 13:34 |
| === erstazi_ is now known as erstazi | ||
| MutantTurkey | I'm 21. cough cough | 19:41 |
| MutantTurkey | I wish xfce made announcements for thier releaes | 19:45 |
| MutantTurkey | like 4.8.1 4.8.2 | 19:45 |
| MutantTurkey | just so I could see some progress | 19:45 |
| jedijf | bet they have a mailing list of some sort | 20:12 |
| MobileTurkey | OH MY GOD THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME | 20:12 |
| MobileTurkey | WOOOOHOOOOO | 20:12 |
| MobileTurkey | though this microsoft software is a pain in the rear | 20:13 |
| jedijf | MobileTurkey: dual boot....keep that garbage | 20:13 |
| MobileTurkey | WHY :[[ | 20:14 |
| MobileTurkey | only to play Age of Empires... | 20:15 |
| MobileTurkey | honestly only reason | 20:15 |
| MobileTurkey | it feels terrible | 20:15 |
| MobileTurkey | the interface is laggish and crappy | 20:15 |
| MobileTurkey | and I've done some research and it appears that the x220 supports linux fully | 20:15 |
| jedijf | i didn't say use it, i said /keep/ it | 20:15 |
| MobileTurkey | how large of a space does it consume? | 20:15 |
| jedijf | you've got more space now than you've ever had and your quibbling over 15gigs? | 20:16 |
| MobileTurkey | same space as before actually | 20:16 |
| MobileTurkey | I just got the 320gb hd | 20:16 |
| jedijf | k | 20:16 |
| MobileTurkey | :) | 20:17 |
| MobileTurkey | but still maybe i should keep it | 20:17 |
| MobileTurkey | it is just a bit of a PITA | 20:17 |
| jedijf | i am just speaking from experience | 20:18 |
| MobileTurkey | understood | 20:20 |
| MobileTurkey | jeez these keys feel really nice | 20:20 |
| MobileTurkey | my only grip is that the battery is not perfectly sitting | 20:20 |
| MobileTurkey | it moves around a TINY bit | 20:21 |
| jedijf | take it out, put back in | 20:22 |
| jedijf | ask at gf's house if you can get a shofar blast for your new lappy | 20:23 |
| MobileTurkey | will inquire about that | 20:24 |
| MobileTurkey | thinkpad software seems annoying | 20:24 |
| MobileTurkey | can't tell if serious. | 20:24 |
| jedijf | for us, a new laptop is a religious experience | 20:24 |
| MobileTurkey | indeed | 20:24 |
| MobileTurkey | So what distro do I install? That is the question | 20:24 |
| jedijf | 2 | 20:25 |
| jedijf | ubu to have, arch to use | 20:25 |
| MobileTurkey | Thats what I was thinking | 20:25 |
| MobileTurkey | mostly because my work on Trinity is really suffering because I don't have any packages ready for it. | 20:25 |
| MobileTurkey | it really stinks because making package specs for the entire KDE3.5 is really tough | 20:26 |
| MobileTurkey | especially since I am stuck at building the mess of Qt3 | 20:26 |
| jedijf | gives perspective and insight | 20:26 |
| MobileTurkey | into Arch? | 20:26 |
| jedijf | all 3. win.ubu.arch | 20:27 |
| MobileTurkey | yeah | 20:27 |
| MobileTurkey | then again, I did see the new unity interface a few days ago | 20:27 |
| MobileTurkey | jedijf: mostly what I am afraid of in ubuntu/debian is the package manager | 20:29 |
| MobileTurkey | no wonder ubuntu users are afraid of the command line... | 20:29 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: that's the best thing about deb/ubu | 20:29 |
| jedijf | it's automagic for you | 20:30 |
| jedijf | at hive bbiab have to lug stuff up 5 flights | 20:31 |
| jedijf | debian ltsp server | 20:32 |
| MobileTurkey | :| | 20:32 |
| MobileTurkey | gonna see if i can shut the lid ok :P | 20:32 |
| MobileTurkey | bbs | 20:32 |
| jedijf | dell poweredge 75lb | 20:32 |
| jedijf | 75lb is weight, not model number | 20:33 |
| MobileTurkey | anyway I gotta do laundry | 20:39 |
| MobileTurkey | jedijf: gotta figure out this dual boot thing | 20:42 |
| MobileTurkey | can I use same way I used for XP dual booting? | 20:43 |
| MobileTurkey | coolest thing so far is my awesome "American" theme. | 20:47 |
| MobileTurkey | when I login it plays a small country riff | 20:47 |
| MobileTurkey | and instead of beeping at me it twangs... | 20:47 |
| * ssweeny had a "South Park" theme for AIM back in the day | 20:48 | |
| ssweeny | when someone signed off it played Cartman's "screw you guys, i'm goin' home!" | 20:48 |
| MobileTurkey | I was sadly never much for sound themes | 20:52 |
| MobileTurkey | actually i hate thme. | 20:52 |
| MobileTurkey | Even more I hate dialogs that incessantly pop up | 20:52 |
| MobileTurkey | 1.4gigs with only chrome running... | 20:52 |
| * MobileTurkey actually goes to do laundry | 20:52 | |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: do arch first..then ubu last, it will see win and arch and be much more turkey friendly | 20:59 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: do the make reinstall thingy (dvd usually) for your win install before doing anything | 21:00 |
| MobileTurkey | Captacha is getting impossible... | 21:39 |
| MobileTurkey | I can't even read them and I am not a human. | 21:39 |
| MobileTurkey | jedijf: encrypted /home? | 21:53 |
| WiCkD1 | Hello. | 23:04 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | . | 23:09 |
| rmg51 | 0/ | 23:10 |
| WiCkD1 | anyone on the eastern side of the state where it's storming out? Power down your gear! :) | 23:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | no need if you're me | 23:24 |
| * TheEvilPhoenix has 4 1500w UPS connected to his gear | 23:24 | |
| WiCkD1 | NICE!!! | 23:25 |
| WiCkD1 | I miss having a UPS. | 23:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | well actually... | 23:25 |
| WiCkD1 | One thing I find in the northeast..the power lines are more stable...power doesnt "reset" as often as it does down south... | 23:25 |
| WiCkD1 | maybe its just me. | 23:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | its 4x( wall outlet + surge protection) -> UPS x 4 -> devoices | 23:26 |
| WiCkD1 | but I remoted into my gear at home and powered it down because of the storms out right now. | 23:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | heh | 23:26 |
| WiCkD1 | I prefer a proper shutdown regardless of OS. | 23:26 |
