| nathwill | argh | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| nathwill | damn all cryptic log files straight to hell | 00:40 |
| c_smtih | g'day! :D | 19:36 |
| c_smtih | how is everyone? | 19:37 |
| bkerensa | good | 19:53 |
| bkerensa | how are u? | 19:53 |
| Brian_H | just got a roomba for the office, this thing is neat lol | 20:04 |
| c_smtih | roomba? what's that? | 20:10 |
| Brian_H | a robot vacuum | 20:14 |
| Brian_H | its cleaning my office as we speak | 20:14 |
| bkerensa | lol | 20:17 |
| bkerensa | Brian_H: Outsourcing labor to a bot? | 20:17 |
| bkerensa | :P | 20:17 |
| Brian_H | feels kinda like I'm living the in the jetsons right now lol | 20:17 |
| Brian_H | yup cheaper and less exposure than a real person ;) hahhaa | 20:17 |
| Brian_H | and its not going to take anything or require a key to come in after hours | 20:18 |
| Brian_H | going to schedule it to run 3x a week :) | 20:18 |
| bkerensa | Brian_H: How much did yours cost? | 20:18 |
| Brian_H | this thing knows where its "home"/charger station is at too so when it gets low on juice it heads back and charges up then resumes | 20:18 |
| bkerensa | I need to reach out and have them send me one | 20:19 |
| bkerensa | :P | 20:19 |
| Brian_H | we got the latest edition + lifetime warranty so it was more than a non-lifetime warranty | 20:19 |
| Brian_H | it was ~500-600 I think (I didn't buy it, someone else did in the office :) ) | 20:19 |
| bkerensa | and it does all your offices? | 20:19 |
| bkerensa | or you have cubicles | 20:20 |
| Brian_H | we have offices | 20:20 |
| Brian_H | :) it deals with cables pretty well too | 20:20 |
| bkerensa | nice | 20:20 |
| bkerensa | Can I make it auto start? | 20:20 |
| bkerensa | like if I wanna put some carpet powder down? | 20:21 |
| c_smtih | nice, nickname it Robo-vacuum!!!! | 20:21 |
| Brian_H | yup you can give it times and a weekly schedule | 20:21 |
| Brian_H | and it just goes back to the charger when its done/not needed | 20:21 |
| c_smtih | you shall naem it ROBOVACUUM!!! nao! :P | 20:22 |
| Brian_H | lol | 20:23 |
| c_smtih | also, I'll be getting that Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle either today or tomorrow. | 20:23 |
| c_smtih | I shall be enjoying a new RTS game. one unlike any of the others I have tried. | 20:23 |
| c_smtih | bleh, I hate how my Router's range is so poor..... | 20:25 |
| Brian_H | cat5e FTW :) | 20:25 |
| c_smtih | yeah, I like that idea, but I can't have cables running through the hallway, or I'd lose a place to live and these guys would lose there license for proctor care. plus I move this laptop around so much, a cat5e Ethernet cord is useless to me. | 20:27 |
| c_smtih | I believe you're talking about an ethernet cord, am I wrong? | 20:28 |
| Brian_H | lol yes you're right | 20:32 |
| Brian_H | but I'm pretty stationary at work | 20:32 |
| Brian_H | home is a diff story though :) | 20:32 |
| bkerensa | wow | 20:32 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 20:32 |
| Brian_H | so wifi has its place I agree with you | 20:32 |
| bkerensa | Wifi is for the win | 20:33 |
| Brian_H | bkerensa: you'll have to let me know how that lifestraw works | 20:34 |
| Brian_H | it doesn't look like it filters metals, but in a survival situation thats the least of my problems ;) | 20:34 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:36 |
| bkerensa | I have a interview next week | 20:37 |
| bkerensa | for a internship | 20:37 |
| bkerensa | :P | 20:37 |
| bkerensa | of all things | 20:37 |
| bkerensa | Well as a formality they are calling it a "internship" but essentially I'm just volunteering my time to teach basic and advanced ubuntu classes at FreeGeek | 20:37 |
| saul_crowe_ | are the classes free? | 20:44 |
| bkerensa | yes | 20:44 |
| saul_crowe_ | sweet....sorry to butt in, just wanted to ask that | 20:45 |
| bkerensa | saul_crowe_: No problem.... this is a open channel :D we enjoy it when people join in :P | 20:45 |
| saul_crowe_ | How many people usually attend and the demographic? | 20:45 |
| saul_crowe_ | Just curious, I work at a training company | 20:45 |
| saul_crowe_ | and thank you for the warm welcome, i appreciate that | 20:46 |
| bkerensa | saul_crowe_: Unsure of the exact demo data but I know 15-25 people | 20:47 |
| saul_crowe_ | Woa! Okay, this is cool | 20:48 |
| saul_crowe_ | i wanted to pitch an idea of teaching linux here | 20:48 |
| saul_crowe_ | ...to the owners | 20:48 |
| saul_crowe_ | Esp. with Windows 8 coming out, seems like they stole the KDE workspace | 20:49 |
| saul_crowe_ | or at least reverse engineered it to a degree | 20:49 |
| c_smtih | they didn't steal the KDE workspace, they made an DE when they had devs with no creativity. at least in my opinion, so don't take this as fact necessarily. | 20:51 |
| c_smtih | the KDE plasma desktop looks a heck of a lot better than Win8 imo | 20:52 |
| saul_crowe_ | Oh no doubt about that | 20:52 |
| c_smtih | but Unity and GNOME3 are cool, too | 20:52 |
| saul_crowe_ | which is why they are modeling it after linux | 20:52 |
| saul_crowe_ | GNOME 3 is going to attract all the new people | 20:52 |
| c_smtih | heh, shows how desperate MS is getting. | 20:53 |
| saul_crowe_ | everyone essentially has been trained in Unity simply by the smartphone | 20:53 |
| c_smtih | haven't used Windows for more than 5-6 minutes in around 2 years. | 20:53 |
| saul_crowe_ | unbenounced to them of course | 20:53 |
| saul_crowe_ | yep, me either | 20:53 |
| c_smtih | Smartphone? never really used one. | 20:53 |
| saul_crowe_ | and I am a windows environment admin | 20:54 |
| c_smtih | never owned one. | 20:54 |
| c_smtih | heh, nice. | 20:54 |
| saul_crowe_ | Unity operates like a smartphone really | 20:54 |
| saul_crowe_ | categories and whatnot | 20:54 |
| c_smtih | if you aren't using Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2, but using Ubuntu 11.04, you're in for a few nice treats in 11.10. | 20:54 |
| saul_crowe_ | anyone who has used an Iphone or droid etc. | 20:54 |
| saul_crowe_ | will def. be able to navigate through unity no prob | 20:55 |
| c_smtih | the closest I have is a Samsung SGH-A877 | 20:55 |
| c_smtih | and an Ipod Nano 5G. | 20:55 |
| c_smtih | the Samsung in no way is to my knowledge a Smartphone. but I haven't checked too much into that. | 20:56 |
| saul_crowe_ | Yes! I heard it was revamped from "Natty" | 20:56 |
| saul_crowe_ | Natty, people complained was TOO simple...lol | 20:57 |
| Brian_H | I really like it, I'm using the kubuntu edition. There are still some qwuarks with kde though that need to be ironed out though | 20:57 |
| c_smtih | yeah, plus, if people prefer, they can now safely install GNOME3 without breaking Unity. | 20:57 |
| saul_crowe_ | I prefer KDE but GNOME is great too | 20:58 |
| c_smtih | I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 (the Unity version) and openSUSE 11.4 | 20:58 |
| saul_crowe_ | Nice | 20:58 |
| saul_crowe_ | i use Kubuntu and Fedora | 20:58 |
| saul_crowe_ | Fedora has Unity | 20:58 |
| saul_crowe_ | I have to say that it IS pretty slick | 20:58 |
| c_smtih | yep, love the dual-boot setup, ensures that if I install over one OS, I have another that I can use right away, or if the other OS goes corrupt, I can still use the secondary with a quick tweak to GRUB. | 20:59 |
| Brian_H | I need to get a laptop/device for testing | 20:59 |
| c_smtih | wait, Fedora has Unity? I thought they had GNOME3..... | 20:59 |
| Brian_H | unfortunately the work config/setup is unique enough that running bleeding edge doesn't work out so well | 20:59 |
| c_smtih | in Fedora 15, GNOME3 Shell was the DE. | 20:59 |
| saul_crowe_ | Oh my bad | 21:00 |
| saul_crowe_ | my netbook has Ubuntu with the Natty | 21:00 |
| saul_crowe_ | 11.04 | 21:00 |
| c_smtih | yeah, just checked the Fedora Project site, and Fedora 15 does indeed have GNOME3 Shell | 21:01 |
| saul_crowe_ | My Laptop has Fedora and it is GNOME3 | 21:01 |
| saul_crowe_ | you're right | 21:01 |
| c_smtih | GNOME3 Shell is nice, just takes a bit of getting used to. | 21:01 |
| saul_crowe_ | Back Track 5 is now built on GNOME 3 too isn't it? | 21:01 |
| c_smtih | well, gonna have to cook dinner in half an hour, yum! | 21:02 |
| c_smtih | guess I'll get some of my packages installed before I do that, it was nice talking. see ya all later, and at the IRC meeting tomorrow if anyone here is attending it. | 21:02 |
| saul_crowe_ | IRC? | 21:03 |
| saul_crowe_ | Which meeting is that? | 21:05 |
| bkerensa | Brian_H: Doesnt Linbit give out laptops | 21:21 |
| Brian_H | yea for work stuff, still debating if we give them out for personal toying around though ;) | 21:22 |
| Brian_H | but our infrastructure is pretty honed so running bleeding edge isn't always compatible :/ | 21:22 |
| Brian_H | we'll see, maybe santa will bring me one lol | 21:23 |
| bkerensa | I wish tgm4883 was about | 21:44 |
| * tgm4883 looks in | 22:07 | |
| * tgm4883 trips bkerensa | 22:07 | |
| bkerensa | lol | 22:20 |
| bkerensa | tgm4883: Should I be worried about BOINC making my new laptop run hot? | 22:20 |
| jrebu | bkerensa: what are you using BOINC for, out of curiosity. | 22:23 |
| jrebu | ^ pretend there was a question mark somewhere | 22:23 |
| bkerensa | jrebu: For WCG | 22:34 |
| bkerensa | Brian_H we need to setup a Ubuntu Hour sometime soon | 23:03 |
| bkerensa | so the guys and gals (if their are any) can get together for some drinks | 23:03 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:03 |
| Brian_H | I'm all for it man | 23:03 |
| Brian_H | I'll be out till the 15th, but if you name a place I'll show up | 23:04 |
| Brian_H | oct 6th-15th | 23:04 |
| bkerensa | That would work | 23:05 |
| bkerensa | Brian_H do you like sushi? Me and nathwill do :) | 23:05 |
| nathwill | hellz yeah | 23:05 |
| Brian_H | not so much, but the woman does like sake ;) | 23:06 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: speaking of it there is a buffet in Tigard that makes Sushi as good as that place we went | 23:06 |
| bkerensa | =o selection isnt huge but they have 13-14 types | 23:06 |
| nathwill | excellent | 23:06 |
| * bkerensa might hit them up tomorrow | 23:06 | |
| nathwill | haha, jerk. i'll be orphaned in the country | 23:07 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 23:07 |
| bkerensa | buy some before you leave and bring dry ice | 23:07 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:07 |
| nathwill | i wouldn't trust sushi from hicksville, except to help me commit hari kiri | 23:08 |
| bkerensa | Tigard is hicksville? | 23:08 |
| bkerensa | well put it this way... The guys at the Koji we went to were Latinos making sushi :D the guys in Tigard are atleast Japanese :D | 23:09 |
| nathwill | heh | 23:10 |
| nathwill | no, where i'm going down south is hicksville | 23:10 |
| nathwill | tigard is fine | 23:10 |
| bkerensa | Indeed | 23:10 |
| bkerensa | Roseburg heh | 23:11 |
| nathwill | it's worse than that | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | thats across from where my grandmother lives | 23:11 |
| nathwill | it's Glide | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | near Drain, OR | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | GLIDE | 23:11 |
| nathwill | which is the asshole of Roseburg | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | their HS burned down | 23:11 |
| nathwill | yeah, we were down visiting her folks when it happened | 23:11 |
| nathwill | no connection | 23:11 |
| nathwill | *cough* | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | my fiancee's brother lived there for awhile | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | with her dad | 23:11 |
| nathwill | huh | 23:11 |
| bkerensa | I hear nothing but bad things | 23:12 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:12 |
| nathwill | yeah, i dunno why anyone would | 23:12 |
| nathwill | not anyone who didn't grow up there or isn't retired anyways | 23:12 |
| bkerensa | apparently they dont have any broadband | 23:12 |
| nathwill | it's not too bad if you're retired i think | 23:12 |
| nathwill | yeah. satellite/dsl ftw | 23:12 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 23:12 |
| bkerensa | no cable tv right? just netflix by dvd | 23:12 |
| nathwill | they've got satellite | 23:13 |
| bkerensa | I heard the cable company closed down shop | 23:13 |
| nathwill | which is bloody expensive as hell | 23:13 |
| bkerensa | oh cool | 23:13 |
| bkerensa | yeah satellite is bad | 23:13 |
| nathwill | because her dad is stubborn as hell and won't give up his ENORMOUS satellite dish for one of the smaller ones | 23:13 |
| bkerensa | I had it in SF for awhile and they always had weird issues like price debates with MTV | 23:13 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 23:14 |
| bkerensa | does the size of a dish change price? | 23:14 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:14 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: Dont fret... I have to go to Salem in November for like a week | 23:14 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 23:14 |
| nathwill | well apparently it does. he has to use a really old receiver. when his receiver broke he had to shop garage sales to find a replacement | 23:15 |
| bkerensa | She insists on doing a family thanksgiving.... I was like AGH cant we just cook a turkey and buy pies and such? | 23:15 |
| nathwill | because the new ones don't work w/ the monster dish | 23:15 |
| nathwill | yeah... | 23:15 |
| nathwill | family, ugh | 23:15 |
| bkerensa | Oh nice... @Cloiudflare just DM'ed me they sent me a box of t-shirts :) mighty friendly of them | 23:15 |
| bkerensa | UserVoice sent me two t-shirts today... 4 note pads... stickers.. pens and 5 packs of orange Trident gum :D | 23:16 |
| nathwill | that is excellent | 23:18 |
| bkerensa | yeah I like Gum :D | 23:18 |
| nathwill | alrighty, i'm bailing. gotta hit the road :( y'all have a good one. i'll be back if the internet is tolerable down there. | 23:24 |
| bkerensa | =o | 23:26 |
