[00:34] MutantTurkey: it was awhile ago....wasn't sure it was you until we confirmed in irc [00:35] ah righ [00:35] well we need some sort of signal [00:35] "the path of the jedi is not easy", "nor is the path of the turkey" [00:41] MutantTurkey: someone who drinks a flavor like orange or grape, will /always/ drink that flavor [00:41] basic sales psychology... [00:42] in sales i have to create an emotional bond..there are no sales with an an enotional impetus [00:43] so i retain weird stuff [00:43] s/with/without [01:38] jedijf: well actually last time I got coke [01:38] but only there I get orange [01:38] weird but it is what it is [01:39] 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] stuff like that. [01:47] 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. [02:04] ... [02:04] I see you haven't changed a bit. [02:05] Laptop is in Philly... [02:05] damn I won't be home tomorrow. Girlfriends house for Rosh Hashanah [05:00] pleia2: are you awake or others could help me fix my botched attempt to fix broken pkgs. [09:55] Morning [10:07] morning [10:20] Morning. [10:42] o/ [11:08] Morning [11:09] jedijf: today is the day. [11:12] Lappy is in Horsham [11:12] better think of a name [11:32] MutantTurkey: awesome...new years celebration can wait until laptop arrives [11:39] national mechanics /wants/ the release party \o/ [12:05] morning [12:24] invite MutantTurkey to your release party, he'll have a new machine to fill. [12:25] this is a 21+ event [13:03] oh, can I still come? [13:17] teddy-dbears are always welcome [13:19] :-D [13:34] teddy-dbear wasn't even a cotton ball in the field 21- ago. No thread, no weaving, no stuffing, no bear. === erstazi_ is now known as erstazi [19:41] I'm 21. cough cough [19:45] I wish xfce made announcements for thier releaes [19:45] like 4.8.1 4.8.2 [19:45] just so I could see some progress [20:12] bet they have a mailing list of some sort [20:12] OH MY GOD THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME [20:12] WOOOOHOOOOO [20:13] though this microsoft software is a pain in the rear [20:13] MobileTurkey: dual boot....keep that garbage [20:14] WHY :[[ [20:15] only to play Age of Empires... [20:15] honestly only reason [20:15] it feels terrible [20:15] the interface is laggish and crappy [20:15] and I've done some research and it appears that the x220 supports linux fully [20:15] i didn't say use it, i said /keep/ it [20:15] how large of a space does it consume? [20:16] you've got more space now than you've ever had and your quibbling over 15gigs? [20:16] same space as before actually [20:16] I just got the 320gb hd [20:16] k [20:17] :) [20:17] but still maybe i should keep it [20:17] it is just a bit of a PITA [20:18] i am just speaking from experience [20:20] understood [20:20] jeez these keys feel really nice [20:20] my only grip is that the battery is not perfectly sitting [20:21] it moves around a TINY bit [20:22] take it out, put back in [20:23] ask at gf's house if you can get a shofar blast for your new lappy [20:24] will inquire about that [20:24] thinkpad software seems annoying [20:24] can't tell if serious. [20:24] for us, a new laptop is a religious experience [20:24] indeed [20:24] So what distro do I install? That is the question [20:25] 2 [20:25] ubu to have, arch to use [20:25] Thats what I was thinking [20:25] mostly because my work on Trinity is really suffering because I don't have any packages ready for it. [20:26] it really stinks because making package specs for the entire KDE3.5 is really tough [20:26] especially since I am stuck at building the mess of Qt3 [20:26] gives perspective and insight [20:26] into Arch? [20:27] all 3. win.ubu.arch [20:27] yeah [20:27] then again, I did see the new unity interface a few days ago [20:29] jedijf: mostly what I am afraid of in ubuntu/debian is the package manager [20:29] no wonder ubuntu users are afraid of the command line... [20:29] MutantTurkey: that's the best thing about deb/ubu [20:30] it's automagic for you [20:31] at hive bbiab have to lug stuff up 5 flights [20:32] debian ltsp server [20:32] :| [20:32] gonna see if i can shut the lid ok :P [20:32] bbs [20:32] dell poweredge 75lb [20:33] 75lb is weight, not model number [20:39] anyway I gotta do laundry [20:42] jedijf: gotta figure out this dual boot thing [20:43] can I use same way I used for XP dual booting? [20:47] coolest thing so far is my awesome "American" theme. [20:47] when I login it plays a small country riff [20:47] and instead of beeping at me it twangs... [20:48] * ssweeny had a "South Park" theme for AIM back in the day [20:48] when someone signed off it played Cartman's "screw you guys, i'm goin' home!" [20:52] I was sadly never much for sound themes [20:52] actually i hate thme. [20:52] Even more I hate dialogs that incessantly pop up [20:52] 1.4gigs with only chrome running... [20:52] * MobileTurkey actually goes to do laundry [20:59] MutantTurkey: do arch first..then ubu last, it will see win and arch and be much more turkey friendly [21:00] MutantTurkey: do the make reinstall thingy (dvd usually) for your win install before doing anything [21:39] Captacha is getting impossible... [21:39] I can't even read them and I am not a human. [21:53] jedijf: encrypted /home? [23:04] Hello. [23:09] . [23:10] 0/ [23:24] anyone on the eastern side of the state where it's storming out? Power down your gear! :) [23:24] no need if you're me [23:24] * TheEvilPhoenix has 4 1500w UPS connected to his gear [23:25] NICE!!! [23:25] I miss having a UPS. [23:25] well actually... [23:25] 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] maybe its just me. [23:26] its 4x( wall outlet + surge protection) -> UPS x 4 -> devoices [23:26] but I remoted into my gear at home and powered it down because of the storms out right now. [23:26] heh [23:26] I prefer a proper shutdown regardless of OS. [23:58] o/
