[02:24] <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."
[02:51] <jbermudes> hahaha
[02:52] <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
[03:36] <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.
[03:37] <jbermudes> yeah, it'll be interesting to see what it will become regardless of what kinks it might currently have
[03:38] <jbermudes> If anything they should at least be appreciated for trying something new
[03:40] <philipballew> nhaines, Do you use unity?
[03:51] <nhaines> philipballew: yup.
[03:51] <philipballew> nhaines, me as well. I like it a lot
[03:52] <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.
[03:53] <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
[03:54] <nhaines> Well, this was in March.
[03:56] <philipballew> Ah yes. Unity has come a long way since then to
[04:25] <akk> Anybody submitted to SCALE (or know about their system)? Is there a way to get line/paragraph breaks in talk proposals?
[04:26] <akk> There are instructions at the top of the page saying to use <!--break--> but that just shows up verbatim if I preview.
[06:06] <jtatum> +++ATH0
[06:07] <Faqtotum> OK
[06:11] <jtatum> ATZ
[06:11] <seidos> no carrier

[06:15] <jtatum> neat
[06:16]  * MarkDude thanked Tom Merit for talking about Linux
[06:16] <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
[06:17] <MarkDude> Persnickety
[06:17] <jtatum> hm, is that good thing? :)
[06:17] <jtatum> ah
[06:17] <MarkDude> Well sure, he sorta just plays himself in real life
[06:18] <MarkDude> VEry funny, even more so - when they are not doing recorded show
[06:20] <MarkDude> The studio is great, I would say geeks should go
[06:20] <MarkDude> well even non geeks would have fun
[22:25] <philipballew_> how hard is it to make a custom live cd with only the apps I see that I want
[22:34]  * philipballew_ hugs seidos 
[22:35] <MarkDude> hello there seidos
[22:36]  * MarkDude hopes I will be able to see you at Scale
[22:36] <MarkDude> And ALL of you folsk in this channel there too
[22:37] <broder> philipballew_: it's not impossible. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[22:42] <philipballew_> broder, thanks. I am contemplating what is better. that mathod or installing from scratch and making a live image from my harddrive
[22:43] <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
[22:46] <philipballew_> alright, broder its for work. Im making lubuntu images for computers to donate to Africa :)
[22:48] <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
[23:16] <philipballew_> broder, crazy debian. Its all good, I can look into it in a day or two
