[02:22] good [02:22] just got lubuntu installed on the netbook [02:22] i'm liking it. and irc in pidgin isn't too bad... [02:22] oh cool [02:22] i'm just trying to figure out my new shiny macbook air :) [02:25] macbook air? [02:26] nice [02:26] i'm not a huge fan of macs... though i haven't tried an Air. [02:26] i need a good, light twitter/identi.ca app for lubuntu. [02:26] this is hard to find [02:29] and no, gwibber isn't a good alternative. i've been using the pidgin plugins but it's hard to follow what's going on. [02:29] hrm [02:34] yeah macbook air' [02:34] 13 inch 4 gigs of ram [02:34] i7 processor [02:34] nice [02:34] it is super fast [02:34] sounds like it [02:35] its a work device :) [02:35] so i didn't have to buy it [02:35] ah [02:35] which makes it even nicer [02:35] i have an HP Elitebook for work, but it's running... windows XP [02:35] i feel like i'm trying to eat steak with a spoon with it. [02:35] boo upgrade to windows 7 [02:35] yeah, that is nice! [02:36] i can't! [02:36] double boo [02:36] it's locked down more than a federal prison [02:36] that sucks [02:36] 7 is supposed to be coming.... they say. [02:36] been there and done that [02:36] maybe by the time windows 8 is up [02:36] out [02:36] well, i need it for some specialized stuff. [02:37] lol jjesse [02:37] probably [02:37] beta release for 8 at CES in 2012 [02:37] wow [02:37] i don't mind 7. [02:37] brb laundyr [02:37] how are you liking OSX? [02:37] ok [02:43] does anyone know of an easy way to extract my notes from tomboy to straight text so i can import them to something else (lighter, preferably)? [02:46] i am liking it [02:46] there are some things that are a bit frustrting [02:47] looks like bzr doesn't work w/ lion [02:47] so don't know what is going to happen for ubuntu-doc work [02:48] eeep [02:49] ugh. i don't want to run tomboy on this machine (it'll bog it down) but i want to export all my notes. i'll have to wait til i have my other laptop [02:49] i have tomboy on there [02:49] and maybe i can extract with it [02:49] oh [02:49] my notes are stored in dropbox so that's not a problem [02:50] i switched over to evernote [02:50] does that work on ubuntu? [02:50] i have them but not in a format i can use [02:50] evernote? no [02:50] nevernote is a java app that sort of works [02:50] oh bummer on that [02:50] but you can use the app in a browser [02:50] oh ok [02:50] i do like to have the option to use it if i don't have internet though [02:51] yeah i used it on my Windows 7 build, my android phone and my ipad [02:51] used to use OneNote when I was Windows only [02:51] oooh [02:51] nice [02:51] i've heard good things about onenote [02:51] i love onenote [02:51] its awesome [02:51] i'm thinking of springpad [02:52] but again, i want an app that will work without internet [02:52] never heard of that [02:52] i case i need it [02:52] www.springpad.com [02:52] i think [02:54] my brother is awesome [02:54] he set up opendns on our router [02:54] 45 minutes left in copying office for Mac over corporate vpn [02:54] earthlink has shit dns [02:54] eeep [02:54] i bet [02:54] but springpad looks cool [02:55] well its a 1.2 gb iso [02:56] wow [02:56] yeah [02:58] wondering if my vpn will die when i stop for the night? [02:59] not sure [02:59] i bet it will [02:59] ooooh. i'm finally moving this weekend [02:59] :) [03:00] somewhere nice? [03:00] got my apartment (finally) [03:00] yay [03:00] Auburn Hills Apartments [03:00] cool [03:00] yeah [03:00] going to freak people by having the terminal open full screen sometime [03:00] and be like yeah i just run the shell :) [03:01] nice [03:01] i'm doing all my chat via pidgin, which isn't ideal but heck [03:01] it works [03:01] and pidgin's irc has gotten better it seems. since the last time i tried [03:01] it [03:02] i'm using XChat Azure [03:02] whatever that is [03:03] sounds like xchat for mac. [03:03] i could have gone with irssii or something but i like pidgin [03:04] oh dear god the Target commercial for black friday is annoying [03:04] all holiday commercials are anoying [03:04] did you see the mace's justin bieber one? [03:06] the app store in os x lion really doesn't have anything useful in it does it? [03:06] i want these programs and have to go to the web instead of the app store [03:06] seems silly to me [03:08] and this whole download a file and drag it to an icon or something [03:08] wierd [03:09] no. i don't pay much attention to commercials [03:09] i've never used the app store [03:09] the only app store i use is the android one [03:10] the iOS store has a bunch of useful stuff, but very little in the mac os x app store i want to sue [03:10] oh well off to bed thanks for chatting [03:10] ok see ya! [11:50] morning all [12:01] ug [12:05] yes, I'm with ya there [12:06] hmm, so my package made it to Pontiac, and since they're not sending ground out today/tomorrow I wonder if they'll let me pick it up [12:09] ah damn, it's closed today and tomorrow [12:24] brousch: ping, do you have IE handy? [12:52] i can steal my wife's computer [12:53] that's ok [12:53] thanks [13:29] wow, epic post on jjesse's google+ [13:29] https://plus.google.com/115940769113439717190/posts/Vyhi6zYeHiV [13:30] it will have you punching babies (not just puppies) [15:05] ah crap, black friday deal on the kindle DX [15:05] color or diaf [15:06] heh, sorry I prefer to read [15:06] I've grown up past all those color picture books I give my son :) [15:09] Good morning [15:09] recovered snap-l ? [15:10] Yeah, able to look at food again [15:10] was actually a very nice Thanksgiving [15:12] Uh oh, Kindle DX is $259 [15:13] I think I can hear rick_h_ making the case for itnow. [15:13] I've been doing it alreay...wife wants a pdf reader [15:13] tempted to get it "for her" and see if it works [15:13] if not, I get it and I've got to find her a tabler [15:13] tablet [15:14] sly. ;) [15:17] magazines are color too [15:17] yea, but hers are medical journals. I think non-color would work in actual use [15:17] and the interwebz [15:17] and if not, then all the sooner it gets to me [15:18] brousch: heh, yes...but really color is far down the list of useful bits like battery life, readability, and weight [15:18] youtube [15:18] netflix [15:18] lol, that's what computers and roku are for [15:18] I hear the average house has a ton of TVs [15:18] :) [15:18] we have 1 [15:18] We have one TV [15:19] and it's pretty much a monitor for the Wii [15:19] my coworkers have more TVs than people in their house [15:19] and the DVD player. [15:19] I've never understood that [15:19] then again, we have more monitors and laptops than people in this house. [15:19] heh, well we've got 3 though only two in use. Upstairs/downstairs and workout area in basement [15:21] ah, ie time done...close the wife's laptop [15:23] Need some clorox wipes? :) [15:23] purell [15:23] or tissues? [15:23] :P [15:23] i think we're going to the muppets today [15:23] you suck! [15:23] :P [15:24] I'm planning on finding a place to see it in AL [15:24] Need someone to give some recon on the movie [15:24] sahme the boy is just a little too young [15:24] snap-l: mpirnat saw it, reviewed ok (at least the < 140char twitter review) [15:24] Yeah, I'm not likely to see it in the theaters. [15:25] this will be G's first theater movie, other than little museum movies [16:18] once again beaten to the punch https://plus.google.com/108952536790629690817/posts/Ygc2SoyWkin [16:20] brousch: lol [17:21] https://plus.google.com/u/0/114999238419187496486/posts/P7TQLV2VouA <- Just laid down the gauntlet. [17:26] lol [17:26] hardly hair [17:26] fair [17:28] Well, unfortunately it isn't a fair bet at all [17:28] I'd love nothing more than to use free alternatives [17:28] but when i've seen members of the free software community chased away because they weren't "freetarded" enough, that pisses me off [17:44] Blazeix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+filebug hit no I need to report a new bug and the auto sizing textarea is there [17:44] now the work to get it to spread across the rest of the site [17:57] rick_h_: Very nice. :) [18:01] :) [18:12] Hey rick_h_, I heard you like pie, so I found someone who baked a cherry, apple, and pumpkin pie inside of a cake. [18:12] So you can eat pie while you eat cake. [18:12] (Cherpumple) [18:31] snap-l: heh, thanks [18:33] Leave it to us to push the boundaries of food science in ways that will kill us [18:37] howdy. you're all not shopping up a storm? [18:37] ;) [18:37] i'm playing with lubuntu. nice on the netbook, especially when you hide the taskbar. [18:39] nope, no shopping today [18:39] just work [18:39] God no, not going anywhere near a shopping plavcw [18:40] did make it to the coffee shop for the afternoon though [18:40] nice [18:40] anyone running bitlbee in here? [18:40] i'm not shopping at all [18:40] Not in a while [18:40] :) [18:41] i'm thinking about it because pidin is kinda resource hungry and i feel like being (somewhat) geeky and running chat through irc [18:41] brb, going to play some arcade games w/ JoDee. [18:41] I used to [18:41] i *am* using xchat, only because i can't seem to figure out irsii [18:41] blah [18:41] snap-l: let her win ;P [18:41] heh, irssi isn't bad [18:41] rick_h_: You don't seem to understand [18:41] snap-l that sounds like fun [18:41] JoDee lets me win on occasion. :) [18:42] I run that with bitlebee for a bit, but ended up not using chat much so just left it alone [18:42] rick_h_: I told you the MOrtal Kombat III story. [18:42] snap-l: ok, well make sure ot suck up nicely then to get a victory or two [18:44] rick_h_ cool. i'll try it and if it doesn't work, i can always disable the service [18:44] *shrug* [18:44] i'm trying to do things lighter on this netbook [18:44] lubuntu is about the right speed for it. hah! [19:20] greg-g: heh, party pooper [20:05] thinkup charm ready! [20:06] sweet [21:38] Got my Smarthome wall-switch in the mail today.
