| nhaines | Well, the OCLUG talk went well. But the sponsor never showed so no one could get into the classroom. Everyone was lined up in the hallway when I got there. | 02:24 |
|---|---|---|
| nhaines | Fortunately, someone brought a monitor to troubleshoot his laptop, so I plugged it into my desktop computer and did the presentation that way. | 02:24 |
| nhaines | I started off with "Sorry I'm late, I got held up at the bank. I'm talking about Unity today and I had to make sure my check from Canonical cleared." | 02:24 |
| jbermudes | hahaha | 02:51 |
| jbermudes | and next time you can say "sorry I'm late, after reviewing unity for my talk I decided that perhaps it's time to test other distros and lost track of time" :P | 02:52 |
| nhaines | jbermudes: haha | 03:36 |
| nhaines | I was suprised... no negative comments about Unity during the talk. Everyone seems to think it has potential, even if they don't want to use it themselves. | 03:36 |
| jbermudes | yeah, it'll be interesting to see what it will become regardless of what kinks it might currently have | 03:37 |
| jbermudes | If anything they should at least be appreciated for trying something new | 03:38 |
| philipballew | nhaines, Do you use unity? | 03:40 |
| nhaines | philipballew: yup. | 03:51 |
| philipballew | nhaines, me as well. I like it a lot | 03:51 |
| nhaines | I said as much in the talk: I thought I'd use it for 2 weeks, learn it real well so I could answer questions, and then go back go GNOME2 Desktop and never worry about it again, but I found that I really liked it. | 03:52 |
| philipballew | I see that staying with gnome 2 is something that is not possible in many ways. Its a dead project in most respects | 03:53 |
| philipballew | but just a thought | 03:53 |
| nhaines | Well, this was in March. | 03:54 |
| philipballew | Ah yes. Unity has come a long way since then to | 03:56 |
| akk | Anybody submitted to SCALE (or know about their system)? Is there a way to get line/paragraph breaks in talk proposals? | 04:25 |
| akk | There are instructions at the top of the page saying to use <!--break--> but that just shows up verbatim if I preview. | 04:26 |

| jtatum | i like dvorak's early work :) (speaking of modems) i read his pc guide to telecommunication cover to cover. and i liked the column he did on the back page of.. pc computing or something | 06:16 |
| MarkDude | He is EXACTLY like you think he would be | 06:16 |
| MarkDude | Persnickety | 06:17 |
| jtatum | hm, is that good thing? :) | 06:17 |

| MarkDude | Well sure, he sorta just plays himself in real life | 06:17 |

| MarkDude | The studio is great, I would say geeks should go | 06:20 |

| philipballew_ | how hard is it to make a custom live cd with only the apps I see that I want | 22:25 |
| * philipballew_ hugs seidos | 22:34 | |
| MarkDude | hello there seidos | 22:35 |
| * MarkDude hopes I will be able to see you at Scale | 22:36 | |
| MarkDude | And ALL of you folsk in this channel there too | 22:36 |
| broder | philipballew_: it's not impossible. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 22:37 |
| philipballew_ | broder, thanks. I am contemplating what is better. that mathod or installing from scratch and making a live image from my harddrive | 22:42 |
| broder | philipballew_: if you're going to do that, you might want to look into live-build. it knows everything needed to build an ubuntu image, and should be customizable...let me see if i can find the docs on how | 22:43 |
| philipballew_ | alright, broder its for work. Im making lubuntu images for computers to donate to Africa :) | 22:46 |
| seidos | hi everybody | 22:48 |
| broder | philipballew_: grr. the docs used to be at http://live.debian.net/manual/en/html/managing-a-configuration.html but that's throwing a 404 at the moment | 22:48 |
| philipballew_ | broder, crazy debian. Its all good, I can look into it in a day or two | 23:16 |
