[00:34] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: it was awhile ago....wasn't sure it was you until we confirmed in irc
[00:35] <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"
[00:41] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: someone who drinks a flavor like orange or grape, will /always/ drink that flavor
[00:41] <jedijf> basic sales psychology...
[00:42] <jedijf> in sales i have to create an emotional bond..there are no sales with an an enotional impetus
[00:43] <jedijf> so i retain weird stuff
[00:43] <jedijf> s/with/without
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <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.
[01:47] <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.
[02:04] <MutantTurkey> ...
[02:04] <MutantTurkey> I see you haven't changed a bit.
[02:05] <MutantTurkey> Laptop is in Philly...
[02:05] <MutantTurkey> damn I won't be home tomorrow. Girlfriends house for Rosh Hashanah
[05:00] <InHisName1> pleia2: are you awake or others could help me fix my botched attempt to fix broken pkgs.
[09:55] <rmg51> Morning
[10:07] <toggles> morning
[10:20] <JonathanD> Morning.
[10:42] <rmg51> o/
[11:08] <MutantTurkey> Morning
[11:09] <MutantTurkey> jedijf: today is the day.
[11:12] <MutantTurkey> Lappy is in Horsham
[11:12] <MutantTurkey> better think of a name
[11:32] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: awesome...new years celebration can wait until laptop arrives
[11:39] <jedijf> national mechanics /wants/ the release party \o/
[12:05] <teddy-dbear> morning
[12:24] <InHisName> invite MutantTurkey to your release party, he'll have a new machine to fill.
[12:25] <jedijf> this is a 21+ event
[13:03] <teddy-dbear> oh, can I still come?
[13:17] <jedijf> teddy-dbears are always welcome
[13:19] <teddy-dbear> :-D
[13:34] <InHisName> teddy-dbear wasn't even a cotton ball in the field 21- ago.  No thread, no weaving, no stuffing, no bear.
[19:41] <MutantTurkey> I'm 21. cough cough
[19:45] <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
[20:12] <jedijf> bet they have a mailing list of some sort
[20:12] <MobileTurkey> OH MY GOD THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME
[20:12] <MobileTurkey> WOOOOHOOOOO
[20:13] <MobileTurkey> though this microsoft software is a pain in the rear
[20:13] <jedijf> MobileTurkey: dual boot....keep that garbage
[20:14] <MobileTurkey> WHY :[[
[20:15] <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?
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <MobileTurkey> :)
[20:17] <MobileTurkey> but still maybe i should keep it
[20:17] <MobileTurkey> it is just a bit of a PITA
[20:18] <jedijf> i am just speaking from experience
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <MobileTurkey> it moves around a TINY bit
[20:22] <jedijf> take it out, put back in
[20:23] <jedijf> ask at gf's house if you can get a shofar blast for your new lappy
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <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.
[20:26] <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?
[20:27] <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
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <jedijf> it's automagic for you
[20:31] <jedijf> at hive bbiab have to lug stuff up 5 flights
[20:32] <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
[20:33] <jedijf> 75lb is weight, not model number
[20:39] <MobileTurkey> anyway I gotta do laundry
[20:42] <MobileTurkey> jedijf: gotta figure out this dual boot thing
[20:43] <MobileTurkey> can I use same way I used for XP dual booting?
[20:47] <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...
[20:48]  * 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!"
[20:52] <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
[20:59] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: do arch first..then ubu last, it will see win and arch and be much more turkey friendly
[21:00] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: do the make reinstall thingy (dvd usually) for your win install before doing anything
[21:39] <MobileTurkey> Captacha is getting impossible...
[21:39] <MobileTurkey> I can't even read them and I am not a human.
[21:53] <MobileTurkey> jedijf: encrypted /home?
[23:04] <WiCkD1> Hello.
[23:09] <TheEvilPhoenix> .
[23:10] <rmg51> 0/
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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.
[23:26] <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.
