[02:24] 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] 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] 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] hahaha [02:52] 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] jbermudes: haha [03:36] 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] yeah, it'll be interesting to see what it will become regardless of what kinks it might currently have [03:38] If anything they should at least be appreciated for trying something new [03:40] nhaines, Do you use unity? [03:51] philipballew: yup. [03:51] nhaines, me as well. I like it a lot [03:52] 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] 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] but just a thought [03:54] Well, this was in March. [03:56] Ah yes. Unity has come a long way since then to [04:25] Anybody submitted to SCALE (or know about their system)? Is there a way to get line/paragraph breaks in talk proposals? [04:26] There are instructions at the top of the page saying to use but that just shows up verbatim if I preview. [06:06] +++ATH0 [06:07] OK [06:11] ATZ [06:11] no carrier [06:15] TWIT studios rocked. Good bbq. Got to Meet John Dvorak and Veronica Belmont- yay [06:15] neat [06:16] * MarkDude thanked Tom Merit for talking about Linux [06:16] 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] He is EXACTLY like you think he would be [06:17] Persnickety [06:17] hm, is that good thing? :) [06:17] ah [06:17] Well sure, he sorta just plays himself in real life [06:18] VEry funny, even more so - when they are not doing recorded show [06:20] The studio is great, I would say geeks should go [06:20] well even non geeks would have fun === Chaser_ is now known as Chaser [22:25] 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] hello there seidos [22:36] * MarkDude hopes I will be able to see you at Scale [22:36] And ALL of you folsk in this channel there too [22:37] philipballew_: it's not impossible. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [22:42] broder, thanks. I am contemplating what is better. that mathod or installing from scratch and making a live image from my harddrive [22:43] 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] alright, broder its for work. Im making lubuntu images for computers to donate to Africa :) [22:48] hi everybody [22:48] 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] broder, crazy debian. Its all good, I can look into it in a day or two
