| * bkerensa is getting epic traffic.... Slashdotted and Reddited (r/linux) | 18:45 | |
| valorie | for which post? | 18:45 |
| bkerensa | ;) I'm anticipating someone will try and own my box | 18:45 |
| bkerensa | :P | 18:45 |
| bkerensa | http://benjaminkerensa.com/2011/10/23/uefi-headaches-begin-linux/ | 18:45 |
| bkerensa | Over 1k hits since 9am | 18:46 |
| valorie | great on the post | 19:14 |
| valorie | ugh on the content | 19:14 |
| valorie | perhaps Ubuntu Friendly program will be a help | 19:14 |
| * valorie crosses fingers | 19:14 | |
| bkerensa | yeah | 19:19 |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:19 |
| valorie | bummer, I missed your party | 19:21 |
| valorie | I so wanted to catch that | 19:21 |
| bkerensa | valorie: We might be doing some Ubuntu/Debian hours | 19:23 |
| bkerensa | jointly | 19:23 |
| bkerensa | a Canonical guy asked if I was interested in helping out the local Debian UG | 19:23 |
| bkerensa | : | 19:23 |
| valorie | that is GREAT | 19:23 |
| valorie | we need to do more with Deb folks | 19:23 |
| seattlegaucho | bkerensa: I just tweeted your URL ... I hope it doesn't add to your misery ... but I doubt I have that many followers | 20:53 |
| * valorie will do that to add to bkerensa's misery -- in awhile | 21:07 | |
| bkerensa | seattlegaucho: Oh I should be fine... My webserver sits behind the largest CDN in the world | 21:43 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 21:43 |
| bkerensa | I could handle SNL plugging me | 21:43 |
| seattlegaucho | OTH, that is really sad news ... I wonder if any Dell rep would understand what I'm talking about if I ask him | 21:49 |
| shannonlucas | I think that's going to be the case with most customer service reps in general | 21:49 |
| bkerensa | heh | 21:51 |
| bkerensa | Im getting quite a bit of trolling from some people | 21:51 |
| bkerensa | who say I'm being anti-corporate for blaming UEFI for not working with Linux | 21:51 |
| shannonlucas | oy | 21:51 |
| shannonlucas | Because Red Hat and Canonical aren't corporate at all? | 21:52 |
| bkerensa | mind you my post hardly passed blame... It just demonstrated that UEFI is already causing problems and nothing more | 21:52 |
| bkerensa | :P | 21:52 |
| bkerensa | shannonlucas: Its some trolls who hate Ubuntu/Canonical | 21:52 |
| bkerensa | they hangout in #ORLUG and since they dislike ^ then they dislike anything I have to say and troll like its going out of style :P | 21:53 |
| valorie | sad, sad people | 21:54 |
| shannonlucas | If people just used half the effort they spend detracting on creating or supporting... | 21:55 |
| bkerensa | Indeed | 21:56 |
| valorie | yes, one of these days we could work on changing trolls into productive team members | 21:56 |
| bkerensa | so much.... division among people in FOSS simply over what distro or DE they like most | 21:56 |
| bkerensa | its like the NFL almost | 21:56 |
| valorie | I wonder where my wizard hat, cape and wand are? | 21:56 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 21:56 |
| valorie | distro/DE aren't religion | 21:57 |
| valorie | they are tools | 21:57 |
| valorie | someone at the Mentor's Summit asked me to sell him on using KDE again | 21:57 |
| valorie | and was sort of puzzled that I wouldn't do that | 21:57 |
| valorie | I love it | 21:57 |
| valorie | wish everyone did, but the fact is -- some people make another choice, for their own reasons | 21:58 |
| bkerensa | Indeed | 21:58 |
| valorie | we're all on the same side: freedom | 21:58 |
| bkerensa | I will gladly give out any distro | 21:58 |
| valorie | me too | 21:58 |
| bkerensa | in fact I just asked MarkDude to send me some Fedora CD's | 21:58 |
| valorie | for that matter, those who choose Apple or MS are choosing the tools they like, as well | 21:58 |
| valorie | my husband and one son us MS | 21:59 |
| valorie | use | 21:59 |
| valorie | but they support freedom in other ways | 21:59 |
| bkerensa | my new laptop has Win7 on it for my fiancee to play games | 21:59 |
| bkerensa | I dont condemn it.... I encourage her to use Ubuntu for everything else though | 21:59 |
| bkerensa | :D | 21:59 |
| * bkerensa nevers uses it | 22:00 | |
| shannonlucas | I have Win 7 for playing Portal 2 :-p | 22:00 |
| valorie | I doubt my husband will ever change -- he likes photoshop too much | 22:00 |
| valorie | I'm totally OK with that | 22:00 |
| shannonlucas | I'd have a hard time giving up Photoshop if my work depended on it. | 22:01 |
| bkerensa | Gimp is ok for me.... I like Photoshop but so far I have been able to switch fine.... I just miss some features | 22:02 |
| shannonlucas | The one that's been the toughest for me is Lightroom. Darktable is looking good, but it isn't there yet. | 22:03 |
| shannonlucas | I've been using mostly Bibble Pro on Ubuntu. It's not free, but it compares pretty well with Lightroom. | 22:04 |
