| iheartubuntu | thank god for the CA team mailing list | 01:30 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | I am now 30 years old | 04:35 |
| TheTinker | but not 5 minutes ago? | 04:35 |
| nhaines | \o/ | 04:35 |
| nhaines | Happy birthday, pleia2! :) | 04:35 |
| pleia2 | TheTinker: was born at 12:35 eastern :) | 04:36 |
| pleia2 | so no, not 5 minutes ago | 04:36 |
| akk | Happy birthday pleia2! | 04:36 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: thanks :) | 04:36 |
| pleia2 | thanks akk! | 04:36 |
| TheTinker | then your birthday isn't until tomorrow | 04:36 |
| pleia2 | yeah, since I live out here now | 04:37 |
| pleia2 | but age wise it's accurate! | 04:37 |
| TheTinker | it's bad luck to wish someone a happy birthday beforehand | 04:37 |
| akk | pleia2 is modern and beyond timezones. | 04:38 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 04:38 |
| rww | I can't set my phone to UTC :( | 04:38 |
| rww | It resets itself to my local time ;( | 04:38 |
| pleia2 | I just keep 3 clocks around | 04:38 |
| pleia2 | (I work for a company on the east coast) | 04:39 |
| TheTinker | rww: haha. skype for android insists on showing me as being on UTC regardless of local time | 04:39 |
| rww | You should give me your phone, obviously. | 04:39 |
| DarkwingDuck | rww: I found a good program for UTC on android. | 05:11 |
| grantbow | DarkwingDuck: what is the name? | 05:16 |
| pleia2 | grantbow: btw, forget if I told you but your blog is on the california planet now (jono's too) | 05:17 |
| DarkwingDuck | grantbow: myUTC Clock. It displays as a widget on the screen for a host of different timezones that you want. | 05:17 |
| DarkwingDuck | Free BTW | 05:17 |
| jono | pleia2, woo! | 05:17 |
| DarkwingDuck | Hey jono | 05:18 |
| jono | hey DarkwingDuck | 05:18 |
| DarkwingDuck | Hows life? | 05:18 |
| grantbow | DarkwingDuck: thanks | 05:21 |
| grantbow | jono: rock on old man | 05:21 |
| jono | grantbow, :-) | 05:22 |
| jono | grantbow, how is Africa? | 05:22 |
| DarkwingDuck | ugh, translation deadline is tomorrow | 05:24 |
| grantbow | Nairobi is great but as I wrote at http://berkeleylug.com I miss Bobby G's Pizzeria | 05:38 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: u about? | 06:21 |
| pleia2 | yep | 06:21 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: do you see any benefit or drawback to not using 64bit iso for 64bit arch/ | 06:21 |
| pleia2 | what else would you use? | 06:22 |
| bkerensa | 32bit? | 06:22 |
| bkerensa | :D | 06:22 |
| pleia2 | oh I see what you're asking | 06:22 |
| pleia2 | well, AFAIK there is still no acrobat reader for 64-bit, and there are some other proprietary things out there that are cranky | 06:23 |
| bkerensa | hmm | 06:23 |
| bkerensa | k | 06:23 |
| pleia2 | but whatever, I've run 64-bit on my desktop for over a year and a half without too much pain | 06:23 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Do you know is distributed computing performs better if I'm running 64bit? | 06:23 |
| pleia2 | I don't know | 06:24 |
| bkerensa | I heard something about 64bit being able to do complex tasks in shorter time | 06:24 |
| bkerensa | :P | 06:24 |
| nhaines | Ubuntu 11.10 is multiarch, so it should be able to install 32-bit Debian packages when 64-bit ones are not available. | 06:24 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: well, multiarch is *improved* anyway :) | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | oh cool | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | Cool | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | Well I just got a new laptop | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | :D | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | Dell with a i5 and 6GB DDR3 | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | :D | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | and it came with this thing called Windows 7? | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | no idea what that is :P | 06:25 |
| rww | bkerensa: depends on the distributed computing | 06:25 |
| bkerensa | rww: some WCG project | 06:26 |
| bkerensa | its like looking for proteins | 06:26 |
| bkerensa | so folding I guess | 06:26 |
| bkerensa | :P | 06:26 |
| rww | that's 90% of WCG projects :P | 06:26 |
| rww | anyway. the only WCG project that has a 64-bit application is CCW | 06:27 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Sadly I'm considering shrinking the Windows Partiton and keeping it so I can use Adobe for video editing :P | 06:27 |
| rww | the rest are 32-bit, and WCG is closed-source, so no recompiling for you | 06:27 |
| bkerensa | indeed | 06:27 |
| bkerensa | :P | 06:27 |
| rww | so no, it won't make any difference | 06:28 |
| bkerensa | ok then 32bit it is :P | 06:28 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: so 64-bit code will take advantage of speedy things on 64-bit, but you also have a RAM tradeoff (64-bit tends to use more RAM), but if you're on 32-bit you have the bigmem trade-off in the kernel that's handling more ramstuffs than it was originally intended to | 06:28 |
| rww | over at SETI@home, they do some glorious things with optimized applications, but doing nothing really quickly is still nothing :\ | 06:28 |
| * bkerensa shakes pitchfork at rww | 06:29 | |
| bkerensa | :P | 06:29 |
| bkerensa | S@H is good | 06:29 |
| bkerensa | :P | 06:29 |
| pleia2 | I just go with 64-bit wherever I can because the future is nice | 06:29 |
| bkerensa | I did it for 5 years | 06:29 |
| bkerensa | I hope all the wasted energy contributed to something good :P | 06:29 |
| pleia2 | aliens are awesome | 06:29 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Yeah well with this new laptop I can actually run UNITY (The Future) | 06:30 |
| bkerensa | :P | 06:30 |
| bkerensa | even though unity will run flawlessly I cant say I like it :P | 06:30 |
| rww | bkerensa: what's your nick on BOINC projects? just bkerensa? | 06:30 |
| bkerensa | rww: I had another one but I stopped so idk what the original one was (I was 16 so idk) but yeah it bkerensa now | 06:31 |
| rww | http://boincstats.com/search/all_projects.php?cpid=8a283a9fd761c0f685f92e27df2d7fdb :3 | 06:31 |
| bkerensa | I started a Ubuntu Oregon WCG team and tgm4883 kicked my butt | 06:31 |
| rww | although the stats on that are broken before october. my CPID broke | 06:32 |
| bkerensa | rww: You contribute to DC? | 06:32 |
| rww | bkerensa: yes. I was on SETI Classic back in the day :3 | 06:32 |
| bkerensa | Nice | 06:32 |
| rww | had a pooled account with my ex for a while, left it with her when we split, 595k is in the last three or so years I guess | 06:33 |
| pleia2 | seti classic back in the day was great | 06:33 |
| * rww got bored and turned BOINC back on the other day, will probably be running it through winter | 06:34 | |
| * pleia2 hasn't turned it on since 2009 :\ | 06:34 | |
| bkerensa | lol | 06:34 |
| bkerensa | I have rogue BOINC sessions | 06:34 |
| rww | going to see how high i can get my overclock to go, which is the main reason I do it | 06:34 |
| rww | GPU computation broke any sort of actual competition :\ | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | ie: I installed boinc on one laptop I sold and it was a clean install and someone never wiped it | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | so | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | yeah someone somewhere is contributing via my boinc profile and has been for like a year | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | =o | 06:35 |
| rww | lol | 06:35 |
| pleia2 | hah | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | -.- | 06:35 |
| rww | there's an Ubuntu team, btw | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | yeah :D | 06:35 |
| bkerensa | and a Ubuntu Oregon team :P | 06:36 |
| rww | Ubuntu has a bit more people in it :P | 06:36 |
| bkerensa | rww: Did you know of Team Starfire? | 06:37 |
| bkerensa | Crunchenstein :D | 06:37 |
| rww | it rings a bell | 06:37 |
| bkerensa | Was like the largest distributed computing team in the world | 06:39 |
| bkerensa | :P | 06:39 |
| bkerensa | Broadbandreports.com/DSLR.com ran it | 06:39 |
| bkerensa | they had a huge crunching cluster | 06:39 |
| bkerensa | gnight all | 06:41 |
| pleia2 | night | 06:41 |
| nhaines | I am happy because Ubuntu Mono has been released (with work-in-progress hinting, though)! | 15:49 |
| nhaines | http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 15:49 |
| nhaines | Ubuntu One for Windows has been released: https://one.ubuntu.com/downloads/windows/ | 16:45 |
| grantbow | good for Ubuntu One | 16:52 |
| pleia2 | sheesh, busy day today :) | 16:52 |
| grantbow | it has been ;-) | 16:53 |
| pleia2 | also birthday \o/ | 16:53 |
| pleia2 | but I have to work | 16:53 |
| grantbow | Happy birthday! | 16:53 |
| pleia2 | thanks :) | 16:53 |
| pleia2 | I'm 30! | 16:53 |
| grantbow | \o/ | 16:54 |
| DarkwingDuck | Happy birthday old lady. :) | 16:57 |
| pleia2 | haha, thanks | 16:58 |
| akk | Never trust anyone over 30! | 16:58 |
| nhaines | It's true! | 17:00 |
| * nhaines is 31. | 17:00 | |
| pleia2 | really? huh | 17:01 |
| pleia2 | nicely done | 17:01 |
| pleia2 | :) | 17:01 |
| nhaines | :) | 17:01 |
| DarkwingDuck | LOL | 17:02 |
| DarkwingDuck | I'm still 28 | 17:02 |
| grantbow | i'm old | 17:03 |
| akk | I'm old too. | 17:04 |
| pleia2 | so am I supposed to do the celebratory (or not!) watching of Logan's Run today? :) | 17:15 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: I got the coolest USB thumdrive EVER! | 17:16 |
| bkerensa | I mean I have had some cool thumbdrives too like lego men and even a Chevron usb | 17:16 |
| bkerensa | :D | 17:16 |
| bkerensa | I got two 4GB Lifestraw USB's :D | 17:16 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: neat | 17:17 |
| bkerensa | yeah I love USB's :D | 17:18 |
| akk | Was 30 the age in Logan's Run? I thought it was younger than that. | 17:21 |
| TheTinker | nope | 17:22 |
| TheTinker | 30 | 17:22 |
| TheTinker | although, in the tv series version, there were people who ran things and were partially exempt to age 60 | 17:23 |
| akk | Interesting, wikipedia says in the book it was 21, but the film used 30. (I never read the book, though, so I can't plead that as my excuse for being wrong. :) | 17:24 |
| akk | Maybe they couldn't find enough under-21-looking actors. | 17:24 |
| nhaines | Humans don't really grow up until they hit 26. | 17:25 |
| TheTinker | michael york did not look 30 until he was at least 50 | 17:26 |
| TheTinker | or am i misremembering who played logan? | 17:27 |
| akk | No, you remembered right. | 17:27 |
| akk | And yes, he was very young looking. | 17:28 |
| akk | A lot of the other actors weren't, though. | 17:28 |
| TheTinker | he didn't even look old in the austin powers movies | 17:28 |
| nhaines | pleia2: pretty much I hope you like cats. :P | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | cats++ | 18:09 |
| TheTinker | /nick cats | 18:10 |
| nhaines | Not all cats are good. Like CATS, for example. In AD 2101, War was Beginning. | 18:16 |
| nhaines | CATS: How are you gentlemen !! You have no chance to survive make your time. | 18:16 |
| rww | okay good, i'm not the only one whose mind went to AYBABTU | 18:17 |
| TheTinker | mine went to an ARM platform debian used to support | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | and ubuntu is supporting in 11.10 | 18:19 |
| nhaines | \o/ | 18:21 |
| TheTinker | what? | 18:22 |
| TheTinker | ubuntu is supporting armv4l? | 18:22 |
| pleia2 | TheTinker: http://blog.canonical.com/2011/08/16/armserver/ | 18:22 |
| pleia2 | they've been putting crazy amounts of effort into arm for the past couple of years | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | it's exciting that they're finally release ready (although I still may wait until 12.04 to get one for my own ;)) | 18:23 |
| TheTinker | i see no mention on that page of armv4l | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | arm4l? | 18:24 |
| TheTinker | last i checked, ubuntu arm required cortex or later | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | no, these are all new generation arms | 18:24 |
| TheTinker | you implied ubuntu arm 11.10 supports CATS | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | I was actually making a more generic arm comment | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | sorry for the confusion | 18:25 |
| nhaines | CATS strikes again !! | 18:26 |
| TheTinker | meow | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: how'd you find out about the new monospace font? | 22:30 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I know everything. | 22:35 |
| pleia2 | :P | 22:35 |
| nhaines | pleia2: also I've been waiting impatiently (psladen has been far nicer than I probably deserve, heh) and I think I got an email announcement this morning. | 22:36 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: aha, was it sent to a list? | 22:36 |
| akk | What new monospace font is this? | 22:36 |
| nhaines | akk: Ubuntu Mono | 22:37 |
| nhaines | pleia2: possibly the Ubuntu Font list! | 22:37 |
| pleia2 | I didn't even know we had such a thing | 22:37 |
| nhaines | Neither did I? | 22:37 |
| nhaines | Ooh, I might adjust some of the community business cards to use it (for GPG signatures and such) now that it's officially released. | 22:38 |
| nhaines | I've been using the font for about two months now, though. It's fantastic. :) | 22:38 |
| akk | Is there a public PPA or a ttf file? | 22:41 |
| nhaines | pleia2: why did you want to know? | 22:41 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: if it's real "woo we released monospace font" news I wanted to add the official announcement link to UWN | 22:41 |
| nhaines | akk: http://font.ubuntu.com/ has a zip file. | 22:41 |
| nhaines | pleia2: aha! In that case I'll find it for you. :) | 22:41 |
| akk | Thanks, nhaines | 22:41 |
| pleia2 | thank you :) | 22:42 |
| bkerensa | <the-wes> -they might revoke your ubuntuhood | 22:42 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 22:42 |
| pleia2 | omgubuntu posted about it, but they tend to post things prematurely often to get the scoop | 22:42 |
| nhaines | pleia2: pretty much. | 22:42 |
| bkerensa | told u the lugs up here are not to Ubuntu friendly :P | 22:42 |
| nhaines | akk: the package I have is 0.80~rc-0ubuntu3+arabic+console | 22:43 |
| nhaines | akk: so I assume that 0.8 will hit oneiric any minute. Donno if it'll hit lucid, maverick, or natty. | 22:43 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: I don't know what that means. :P | 22:44 |
| pleia2 | does lucid even have the ubuntu font? (it didn't, but could have been backported) | 22:44 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: Oh... the #ORLUG people hate Canonical/Ubuntu mostly :P so they flame me for focusing my chatter around Ubuntu ;) | 22:45 |
| pleia2 | ah, in lucid-updates http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ttf-ubuntu-font-family | 22:45 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: and when it gets hot in there I tell them I have no comment due to CoC and they poke fun at that :) | 22:45 |
| bkerensa | ie: Say that Canonical censors people :P | 22:45 |
| nhaines | pleia2: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/font/2011-September/000001.html | 22:45 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: thank you! | 22:46 |
| nhaines | pleia2: bonus URL :) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+milestone/0.80 | 22:46 |
| * pleia2 nods | 22:46 | |
| nhaines | pleia2: no problem! I try not to source omgubuntu either. | 22:46 |
| nhaines | Bonus URL is the changelog. | 22:47 |
| pleia2 | gotcha, thanks | 22:47 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: sounds like the typical kind of confusion about what the CoC is and Canonical's relationship to Ubuntu | 22:51 |
| pleia2 | the CoC is maintained by the Community Council (only two of the 8 members are canonical employees) and you're not required to sign it to work for Canonical | 22:51 |
| pleia2 | you are required to sign it to be an Ubuntu Member, but that's a community thing, not something Canonical put in place, the CC could change that policy if they wanted | 22:51 |
| bkerensa | I know but people have a misconception that Ubuntu Community is controlled by MarkS | 22:53 |
| bkerensa | idk how people can criticize Ubuntu or Canonical yet say they use RHEL or Fedora | 22:53 |
| bkerensa | :P | 22:53 |
| bkerensa | still corporate and not GNU | 22:53 |
| nhaines | RHEL is Serious Business. | 22:54 |
| bkerensa | indeed | 22:54 |
| bkerensa | :D | 22:54 |
| pleia2 | I don't waste my time with people who want to throw around "canonical censors people" comments and don't listen to me explaining why their comment is a misconception | 22:55 |
| pleia2 | they don't have to like canonical or ubuntu, sometimes I don't like them either :) | 22:55 |
| bkerensa | :D | 22:56 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Where does one get android cookie cutters? | 22:56 |
| nhaines | From android bakers? | 22:57 |
| pleia2 | http://www.googlestore.com/Accessories/Android+Cookie+Cutter.axd | 22:57 |
| pleia2 | mine came from the google store in mt view though (was a gift from my fiance) | 22:57 |
| * nhaines didn't know there was a Google store. | 23:05 | |
| pleia2 | it's inside google, I don't know if they have an external entrance | 23:06 |
| pleia2 | for googlers and guests of googlers AFAIK | 23:07 |
| nhaines | Yes, but on the Web even. | 23:07 |
| pleia2 | ah, yeah I just found out about it recently :) | 23:08 |
| raevol | i wanted to duck in and say that i'm 25 | 23:09 |
| raevol | muahahaha | 23:09 |
| nhaines | raevol: congratulations! | 23:09 |
| raevol | oh, no not today | 23:09 |
| nhaines | Oh, well that's good, because pleia2's already having a birthday today. | 23:09 |
| raevol | i mean i am 25 today, but i was yesterday and for the past few months as well | 23:09 |
| nhaines | Sounds like you're on a roll. :) | 23:10 |
| raevol | yea, and the topic was on ages a while ago, so i was belatedly contributing ;) | 23:10 |
| raevol | oh wow that was like 6 hours ago | 23:10 |
| raevol | not a lot of scroll in this channel... | 23:10 |
| nhaines | Better late than never! (I think that's also the motto of the GNU Hurd project.) | 23:10 |
| pleia2 | there, font.ubuntu.com is updated to say Monospace NEW rather than (TBD) \o/ | 23:11 |
| pleia2 | akgraner found sladen and said "whats up with this dude" :) | 23:11 |
| raevol | i've been using the ubuntu font in xubuntu, after an initial adjustment period, i've grown to like it | 23:12 |
| nhaines | yay! | 23:12 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I meant to ping psladen about that but didn't think an hour after the announcement was enough slack time. ;) | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 23:12 |
| philipballew | http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/sys/2611450610.html | 23:16 |
| philipballew | is that a waste of money or a good buy? | 23:17 |
| pleia2 | that's the min specs of what we'd take for partimus, not bad if you have a use for it | 23:18 |
| nhaines | Ooh. Almost clicked the link before thinking better of it. :) (At work.) | 23:18 |
| nhaines | It amuses me that currently I have a red, green, and blue (RGB!) dry erase marker on my white board. | 23:18 |
| philipballew | pleia2, at, I need a basic desktop to do things like watch movies or set it up to download things that are large where a laptop wont work | 23:19 |
| akk | philipballew: That looks like a good deal. | 23:19 |
| akk | Would be nice to know what video card/chip it has, but if it sucks you can probably find something on ebay. | 23:20 |
| raevol | nhaines: hahaha ;) | 23:21 |
| akk | nhaines: Do you write on the whiteboard by speckling alternately with different pens? | 23:22 |
| philipballew | I think akk that dell does intel integrated at least. Its just something I need to keep my eyes peeled for | 23:22 |
| nhaines | akk: ClearType is a pain! | 23:23 |
| nhaines | philipballew: does the ad contain a model number? | 23:28 |
| nhaines | My Dell Optiplex SX280 here at work has an integrated Intel chip in it. I can set it to 1MB or 8MB in the BIOS! | 23:29 |
| philipballew | I just called, someone snagged it nhaines | 23:29 |
| philipballew | and to think it had only been up there a hour or so | 23:29 |
| nhaines | Guess that means it was a good deal. | 23:29 |
| philipballew | time for ebay! | 23:29 |
| nhaines | What's your budget? | 23:30 |
| philipballew | nhaines, between 50 to 80 probably | 23:33 |
| philipballew | I just got a job today though | 23:33 |
| philipballew | im gonna be fixing computers to send to aferica | 23:34 |
| philipballew | but thats not related except I have more money coming in soon | 23:34 |
| philipballew | I need to get something with eide cables as well. | 23:35 |
| philipballew | I like it old school | 23:35 |
| philipballew | http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Dimension-3100-Desktop-P4HT-Dual-logic-Core-3-0-GHz-1-GB-RAM-160-GB-HDD-/130582203276?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item1e674e4b8c#ht_500wt_1284 | 23:35 |
| philipballew | or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-GX520-DCSM-P4-HT-3-Ghz-Computer-1-GB-RAM-CDRW-DVDROM-/380372738241?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item588ffb60c1#shId | 23:36 |
| jbermudes | I wonder how things like Raspberry Pi will change operations that do stuff like giving hardware to schools | 23:36 |
| nhaines | I recommend stick with SATA. They're very reliable and also inexpensive. If you have an old PATA drive or two, save up and buy a USB adapter you can use to migrate your data off of them. | 23:36 |
| akk | I wonder what Raspberry Pi will really cost when/if it finally ships. | 23:37 |
| philipballew | nhaines, yeah. I still have my wd 500 eide | 23:38 |
| jbermudes | akk: didn't the beta boards already ship and were within the original price range? (minus the extra dollar or two for the larger PCB size and headers) | 23:39 |
| akk | If so, none of the lists I'm on that are all excited about RP have heard about it. | 23:39 |
| akk | (which is certainly possible) | 23:39 |
| jbermudes | ah, they were alpha boards that were sent out | 23:40 |
| philipballew | thats it, im gonna bid on http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Dimension-3100-Desktop-P4HT-Dual-logic-Core-3-0-GHz-1-GB-RAM-160-GB-HDD-/130582203276?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item1e674e4b8c#ht_500wt_1284 | 23:49 |
| nhaines | 160GB HDD? | 23:50 |
| philipballew | its eide I imagine and i have a 500 and a 200 i can put in | 23:50 |
| philipballew | is that a bad price nhaines ? | 23:54 |
| nhaines | philipballew: what's the price? | 23:54 |
| philipballew | 30 plus 30 shipping | 23:55 |
| philipballew | so 60 | 23:55 |
| nhaines | Not bad, considering that shipping probably *will* be $30, and it's only a hyperthreaded CPU rather than dual-core (I think). | 23:55 |
| philipballew | yeah, it is only a hyper thread. but it will do all i need it to do. I guess | 23:57 |
| philipballew | I might just wait a while and see if anything else pops up to | 23:58 |
