wrstbinarymutant: how's the bot doing? :)01:35
binarymutant:shrug: I don't pay attention to it that mich :D01:35
wrst:P01:35
wrstok how are you doing?01:35
binarymutantgood, rewatching Lost. How about you?01:36
wrstoh doing pretty good, actually using my desktop for once01:36
binarymutantwhat's on the pc?01:37
wrstarch linux01:37
wrstgnome shell01:37
binarymutantcool01:37
wrstwhen we moved i did a fresh install, no windows at all or anything else01:37
Unit193Archy-Gnome01:37
wrstyep Unit193 :)01:37
binarymutantso do you use archy-gnome for everything? Or different things for different devices?01:38
wrstbinarymutant: i'm really liking archy-gnome :) i use it on most things that I use01:38
wrstnow for others its ubuntu01:38
binarymutantah :D01:38
wrstand I have an ubuntu partition on my laptop also01:38
wrstand an arch kde partition, so i have the big 2.5 desktops :)01:39
* wrst doesn't hate unity any more01:41
binarymutantoh ya?01:41
binarymutantwhy not?01:41
wrstwell its better still gets in the way but atleast it doesn't crash :)01:41
binarymutanttrue01:41
binarymutantIf they moved the menubar to the bottom, it would be great01:42
wrstbinarymutant: how about they let you move things around to where you want them? :)01:42
wrsti like the dock concept but os X i think has the best placement01:43
binarymutantdefault should be on bottom.01:43
binarymutantor top. but for sure not on the sides01:43
wrstbut i think how gnome shell does the dock to the left is better than unity you have to hit the hot corner to activate it not just anywhere on the left01:43
binarymutantwould you place the bar on the left if you had the choice?01:44
wrsthmm no, but... how gnome shell does it i don't mind it if that makes sense01:45
binarymutantI get that01:45
wrsti am playing with some video my laptop does hd but only 720 so haven't got to see fully how my camera works :)01:46
binarymutant720 is great quality01:47
wrstyes it is that's what our tv is, yet i have a comptuer monitor that does 1080 :)01:48
binarymutantprolly more than that01:49
wrstyeah it does01:49
wrstmy laptop does better than i thought it would however had it hooked to our tv last night as dual monitors and it powered both ok01:50
binarymutantthat's cool, I like that tvs are now just computers01:51
binarymutantbrb dieing for nicotine01:52
* Unit193 thinks you should try L or X Ubuntu01:52
wrstUnit193: me?01:54
wrstbinarymutant: you must be quitting?01:54
Unit193Sure, why not?01:54
wrstUnit193: i have used lubuntu before its nice, but on the low spec machine i was using to record audio only i could set up arch with gnome, using the fallback mode and its quicker and more stable than lubuntu on that machine01:55
Unit193Awww :(01:56
wrstfor me on low spec stuff ubuntu just has a little too much bloat on a stock isntall01:56
wrstbut that's doing something very specialized, i didn't even have a web browser on that machine for a while :)01:57
Unit193Yeah, I tried AntiX, it seemed good (but still Debian-ish based)01:57
wrstantix?? hmm i need to look that one up01:57
wrsthmm debian testing and mepis that's interesting01:58
Unit193http://antix.mepis.org/01:58
wrstbut Unit193 i love debian based01:58
cyberangerwrst: say that again 5 times fast, for clarity (after all, thought you loved arch)02:00
wrstcyberanger: i love them both :)02:01
wrstbut arch just has latest packages and no upgrades02:01
wrstas i tell people instead of breaking my system once every 6 months i break it every time I update :)02:01
wrstbut actually never had it to break02:01
wrstand ubuntu's upgrades seem to always have a nagging issue and debian just doesn't have the up to dateness i like on the desktop, but if my home server goes again, it will more than likely be debian02:02
cyberangerwrst: and debian testing?02:04
wrstcyberanger: still too stale02:04
wrstdo they have gnome 3 yet?02:04
wrstlast time i looked you had to use expiremental02:04
cyberangerok, fine, debian sid02:04
wrstcyberanger: http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/02:05
* cyberanger tries to click on that link from the command line, settles for elinks ;-)02:05
wrst:P02:06
wrsti think i will pass on sid, i have a feeling that would be a little bit of a headache :)02:06
cyberangermaybe a tiny bit02:07
wrstha ha yeah arch has enough testing to be stable02:08
binarymutantwrst: trying to quit, sort of02:09
cyberangerchris4585: /invite #swissknife-router02:12
wrsti have never smoked, but man i can't quit eating i can't imagine having to quit smoking02:12
cyberangerbinarymutant: kinda thought there is, and isn't (or your way of saying, long and painful process or one step forward, two steps back)02:13
binarymutantto quit eating: smoke; to quit smoking: eat; seems to be how I reduced to about 3-4 cigs a day02:13
wrsthappy middle ground?\02:14
wrstsmoke enough to not be fat but not enough to get cancer? :)02:14
binarymutantlol02:14
binarymutantIt's not cancer I worry about, it's my wallet02:14
wrstthat too02:14
binarymutant:D02:14
cyberangerlol02:15
binarymutantha speaking of bitcoins (not too long ago) https://www.casascius.com/15:26
binarymutantgah. Just learned a life lesson: Someone asks for advice don't give it until the contract is signed.17:47
binarymutantFarm asks me about a site; I go down the list of things to be done; next day it's implemented by someone else :/17:48
cyberangeryep, that one always sting18:36
binarymutantdefinitly18:43
