rick_hBlazeix: heh, glad I'm not the only one00:27
rick_hI'm actually thinking of checkout out some OSS readers00:27
rick_his the new gmail just done in theme?00:30
rick_hI've had a custom theme set00:30
rick_hor do I just not have it yet?00:30
Blazeixyou'll see a little black box in the lower right of gmail asking you to switch to it00:33
rick_hah ok, so don't have it yet00:34
rick_hhmm, ok so I don't get the big deal on the gmail00:57
gamerchick02me either. it's nice the way it is i guess. i dunno00:58
Blazeixi'm not sure there is a big deal. I'm a fan of the new search ui, though00:58
rick_hI'm not a huge gmail user though I guess00:58
rick_hmutt ftw00:58
rick_hstill trying to use reader and not happy00:59
rick_hoh well, nothing lasts forever00:59
rick_hat least the new gmail fits in 960px01:00
rick_hunlike the rest of the new updated sites01:00
gamerchick02mutt? i never got the hang of mutt01:17
gamerchick02i'm a huge fan of gmail though because of my multiple computers/OSes.01:17
jjessei like the new gmail01:36
jjessei don't hate everythin01:36
gamerchick02:)02:00
gamerchick02ok. i'm off to sleep. yeah. early bird gets the worm... actually, early bird gets the parking space.02:02
snap-lI love it when people make commitments that suddenly become my problem to help out02:29
snap-lWondering how well being a hobo pays.02:30
jjessei heard there was a hobo that went apeshit in a starbucks today because no one gave him money02:31
snap-lHm, I'll have to work on going apeshit02:32
greg-gdone already?02:32
greg-g:P02:32
snap-lgreg-g: Oh you haven't seen the full power of the ape-shit02:32
snap-lI put the shit in apes just so they too can go ape-shit02:33
greg-gewww02:33
* snap-l is a conniseur of ap-shittery.02:33
brouschAh, you can change the spacing on the new Gmail theme11:31
rick_hyea, but that didn't change anything for me11:36
rick_hI even reloaded it11:36
rick_hwas strange11:36
WolfgerMorning.11:42
brouschyou tried cozy and compact?11:42
brouschcompact is much more usable to me11:42
rick_hI'm running compact11:42
rick_hI can't seem to get it out of it11:42
WolfgerOK, question for those of you who like the new Gmail look: Is there any way to keep it from auto-hiding your labels? That's just a die-in-a-fire dealbreaker for me.11:42
brouschi think the inbox view and single message view can be set seperately11:43
rick_hah, there we go11:43
rick_hit goes off of your brower window size it appears11:43
rick_hsince i had my browser tiled it'd only let me use compact or something11:43
brouschinteresting11:43
rick_hI had extra text in there "Current window" next to compact11:43
brouschWolfger: my labels are visible11:43
rick_hwhen I made the browser full screen and reloaded it was different11:43
Wolfgerrick_h: so much for "gives you more control" :-p11:43
rick_hmeh, keep it on compact, only usable one of the bunch11:44
Wolfger"your window was small, so we figure you want this thing that you don't actually want"11:44
brouschmahogony theme kind of fits with ubuntu11:45
Wolfgerbrousch: if I hide my chat contacts, I can see my labels, but only because I set it to only show labels with unread messages.11:45
Wolfgerbut I don't want to hide my contacts11:45
rick_hI've limited my labels anyway11:45
rick_hto the few I use regularly11:46
brouschWolfger: you can drag the divider between chat and labels11:46
Wolfgerbut teh Google Overlords have decreed they don't want that sidebar to scroll, because obviously we want to see everything that's on the sidebar at all times, even if that means auto-hiding chunks of it so you can't see them ever without mouseover11:46
Wolfger</rant>11:46
brouschah, when i mouse over labels it auto-expands to show them all11:47
WolfgerGoogle is becoming FB11:47
brouschbut you can drag down the chat section as far as you want11:47
Wolfger"we're just going to change everything you liked to something different. Deal with it."11:47
brouschWolfger: i don't see the problem with this, you can choose to show all your labels or more chat11:49
brouschunless you have more labels than fit on the screen i guess11:49
Wolfgerbrousch: the problem is I didn't used to have to choose between them, and now I do. All the while, Google is claiming the new look gives me "more control". FAIL11:52
brouschnot a big fan of the new conversation view11:52
brouschWolfger: how did it used to work? you scrolled the page to see the chat?11:53
Wolfgerbut.... I can't chat at work anymore anyways, so this is only really an issue at home11:53
Wolfgerbrousch: yep11:53
brouschnow you have to scroll within the label section or the chat section11:53
WolfgerI'm considering dropping the web interface and switching to a mail client. :-p11:55
brouschwell i never use the chat clienbt11:57
brouschempathy and pidgin11:57
WolfgerPlus, Buzz, Mail.... Google is just destroying everything I loved about Google11:58
brouschThechanges so far are less annoying than Unity11:58
Wolfgerwell, that's a given12:00
brouschi guess i'm saying that everything changes. get used to it, things are only changing more frequently lately12:04
WolfgerAlso hating the thickness of the bar for previously read messages in the thread.12:11
Wolfgereverything about the new look is just gobbling screen real-estate (or so it seems).12:23
brouschCompact!12:24
WolfgerIt's like they want everything to be touch-screen friendly.12:24
WolfgerI switched to compact. I did not see any difference.12:24
WolfgerMan, now SideWiki is going away? That sucks. Er, now that I remember it exists. :-)12:46
Wolfgersounds like Google is cleaning house.12:47
rick_hparty12:50
rick_hhmm, lag seems to not be around atm12:50
rick_hwhat's the video card of choice for external ubuntu work these days?13:10
rick_hjcastro: ^ ?13:10
rick_hthe certified site only lists whole machines :(13:10
snap-lI'm using ATI (5450). It's inexpensive, but has enough power for light 3D and video13:11
snap-lWas using a 3450 before, but it had issues with tearing videos13:12
rick_hok13:12
rick_hNC dude is looking for a dual out upgrade to his desktop13:12
snap-lDual monitor?13:12
rick_hyea13:13
rick_hguess his current card is single only13:13
snap-lHow much into performance is he?13:13
rick_hhe says no 3d, just work stuff13:13
rick_hbut he's running ubuntu so might as well be unity friendly13:14
brouschrick_h: last day?13:16
rick_hhttp://www.knowvim.com/#13:16
rick_hbrousch: hopefully, if I can get this crap done and people can leave me alone for an hour13:16
brouschsorry13:17
snap-lrick_h: Yeah, The ATI5450 appears to be unity friendly13:17
rick_hbrousch: heh sorry didn't mean that at you13:18
snap-lbut I'm tied to ATI because I"m using an AMD board13:18
snap-lYMMV.13:18
rick_hjust it's been crazy trying to wrap up, everyone wants all kinds of stuff and things seem to want to blow up against me13:18
snap-lI think DBO recommended not getting ATI cards.13:18
rick_hyea, I can never keep up13:19
rick_hthought they were going to be getting better/more open13:19
snap-lAlso the 5450 has VGA and DVI out.13:19
snap-lThey are, but their drivers are still not 100%13:19
snap-lThey've always had buggy drivers13:20
snap-ljust happens to have bugs that I either don't exercise, or are bugs I can live with. ;)13:20
snap-lWe would like to offer you a valuable coupon for your next Staples13:57
snap-lin-store purchase.13:57
snap-lTo receive your coupon, click below and complete a short survey about a13:57
snap-lproduct you have purchased at Staples.13:57
snap-l;)13:57
rick_hlol13:58
snap-lWow, this page is fugly.13:58
rick_hlook for morpace on the page anywhere13:58
snap-lVisioncritical?13:58
rick_hnope,looks like a competitor13:59
snap-lLooks like ass13:59
rick_hor maybe a tool, but I think our staples stuff is through our lighthouse system13:59
snap-lhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/9058804/staples.png14:03
snap-lhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/9058804/staples2.png14:03
snap-lApparently it's a survey for their arc notebooks14:22
rick_hgotcha14:27
snap-lJust saw Staples and survey, and figured "I have to take this"14:34
snap-lkinda like folks hear "Ford" and "work there" and suddenly ask you if you know such and such14:35
snap-leven though that person is in Ohio, and works at a plant14:35
rick_hyea, all cool14:37
brouschhey, cool. banshee can download my amazon music without me installing that damn amazon downloader15:02
snap-lYeah, it's pretty nice.15:02
rick_hyea, was one of the best selling points for the amz integration15:03
snap-lhttp://archives.seul.org/pygame/users/Nov-2011/msg00003.html15:07
rick_hoh good grief...last day...so I can go off on NC dude right?15:20
_stink_yep!15:21
_stink_copy us.15:21
brouschdon't burn them bridges!15:21
rick_hhttp://paste.mitechie.com/show/9CcaL2YQEDNDre8ptkrs/15:21
rick_hnothing too bad yet15:21
rick_hbut man, not in the mood for this crap15:22
brouschohmy, you didn't filter out his handle this time15:22
brouschnow we can track him down15:22
snap-lMuhahahahaha15:22
rick_hbah, it's internal IM15:22
rick_hhave fun15:22
snap-lrick_h: I have to admit, I do wish they'd make it a little easier to just drop off some files15:25
snap-lbut then again, it's not NFS, it's likely distributed all over the place.15:25
snap-lhttp://yieldthought.com/post/12239282034/swapped-my-macbook-for-an-ipad <- All the computes you need. ;)15:26
snap-lhttp://jobs.perl.org/job/15066 <- Ho boy.15:28
rick_hheh, time to get off apache 1.3 eh?15:28
snap-lApparently.15:29
snap-llooks liek Slashdot is growing up15:29
snap-l  http://blog.canonical.com/2011/11/02/hpmoonshot/ <- This intrigues me in some fashion15:31
Wolfgerbrousch: I prefer clamz for Amazon downloads.... Saves the .amz files for you in case you need to redownload (though I don't think that's an issue anymore with the cloud drive Amazon does now)16:06
Wolfgeralso... command line apps ftw :-)16:11
snap-lpfft. nobody uses the command line anymore. P)16:20
dzhowtf is up with all those SATA connectors in the Redstone box?16:29
snap-leach core is a separate machine16:30
snap-lthough this whole solution screams for remote storage16:31
snap-lsomething like iSCSI, or even a bank of esata connectors.16:32
dzholooks to me like it's 3x6=18 cards per box.  Each card looks like it might support two chips.  But each card also looks like it has . . . 17 SATA connectors?  I mean, is this some off-the-shelf part they are just shoving into a backplane?16:34
snap-lI don't think it's off the shelf17:18
jrwrenif you are doing sata that way, plan for storage, not performance. apparently scaling perf out of those is not easy.17:18
jrwrenthat macbook for ipad story is interesting. the guy spent $10 on an SSH client!17:20
snap-lYeah, it's a nice client17:20
jrwrenI might spend it hen.17:21
jrwren*then17:21
jrwrenI tried the zx client, but it crashes when I try keyauth.17:21
jrwrenand I ONLY do keyauth.17:21
jrwrenssh password auth is disabled for me.17:22
snap-lYeah, it handles key auth really well17:22
snap-lI have passwords turned off as wel17:22
jrwrenyou have ios devices?17:22
greg-gsnap-l's a fanboi17:26
snap-lIt was either iOS or a blackberry17:27
snap-lI'd like to think you'd all make the same choice.17:27
snap-lsave for tjagoda17:27
jrwrenI love iOS17:28
greg-gI don't know, I'd have to give bb a try before I decided ;)17:28
jrwreni'm just surprised you went for it.17:28
snap-lgreg-g: I had a BB. It was shit17:30
snap-ljrwren: I'm not. I like Apple products.17:30
* snap-l is apparently the resident fanboy, despite only having an iPhone 417:30
greg-gsnap-l: but not ape-shit?17:30
snap-land that's work provided.17:30
snap-lgreg-g: Apes have standards.17:31
brouschand a keyboard17:31
brouschand speakers17:31
brouschand all of David Pogue's works on audio tape17:32
snap-lI have JBL creature II speakers17:32
snap-l(which I bought at the Apple store, but still)17:32
snap-ltried the Mighty Mouse, and didn't like it17:32
Wolfgersnap-l: I think I choose BB over iOS.17:35
snap-lWolfger: We can never be friends, then17:36
snap-lplease return my records at once.17:36
Wolfgercool17:36
Wolfgerif all Android phones were destroyed in the patent war, I would probably go iPhone just because of the app store (BB has one, but it sucks), but the BB is a far better phone.17:37
snap-lI'm sorry, what is this phone you speak of?17:37
snap-lIs there an app for that?17:38
Wolfgerhttp://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20128034-1/for-car-lovers-a-porsche-designed-blackberry/17:42
snap-lYes, for $2K, you can have a Blackberry that doesn't look like shit, with a custom theme that doesn't look like shit17:48
snap-lFrankly, this should have been the direction for a while now. ;)17:48
ColonelPanic001this electronics stuff has gone too far17:48
snap-lApple did this prior to Steve Jobs return. Anyone remember what it's called?17:48
ColonelPanic001the handle on my thermos just fell a bit, made a ding17:48
ColonelPanic001I looked at my phone and wondered what that meant17:49
ColonelPanic001"I don't remember setting a notification that sounds like that"17:49
_stink_all noises are from your phone17:49
ColonelPanic001"Oh, it was real"17:49
snap-lIf you guessed 20th anniversary macintosh, you are correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twentieth_Anniversary_Macintosh17:49
jrwrensnap-l: I think I trump you for accidental fanboi. but you can keep the title. i'm apple fanboi by mistake.17:52
snap-ljrwren: bullshit17:52
jrwrenoh?17:52
snap-lHow many intel macs do you own?17:52
jrwren117:52
