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