[00:00] <rick_h_> happy thanksgiving, hope everyone got their fill of yummies today
[00:05] <snap-l> Thanks. Am overstuffed
[00:15] <rick_h_> yea, I didn't follow the rules tonight at all
[00:15] <rick_h_> hmmm, pie and cupcake...
[00:25] <snap-l> heh
[00:55] <brousch> we ate at 1. i want a turkey sammich now but would surely explode
[02:14] <gamerchick02> how's everyone's turkey day going?
[02:21] <jjesse> awesome and yours?
[02:22] <gamerchick02> good
[02:22] <gamerchick02> just got lubuntu installed on the netbook
[02:22] <gamerchick02> i'm liking it. and irc in pidgin isn't too bad...
[02:22] <jjesse> oh cool
[02:22] <jjesse> i'm just trying to figure out my new shiny macbook air :)
[02:25] <gamerchick02> macbook air?
[02:26] <gamerchick02> nice
[02:26] <gamerchick02> i'm not a huge fan of macs... though i haven't tried an Air.
[02:26] <gamerchick02> i need a good, light twitter/identi.ca app for lubuntu.
[02:26] <gamerchick02> this is hard to find
[02:29] <gamerchick02> 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] <gamerchick02> hrm
[02:34] <jjesse> yeah macbook air'
[02:34] <jjesse> 13 inch 4 gigs of ram
[02:34] <jjesse> i7 processor
[02:34] <gamerchick02> nice
[02:34] <jjesse> it is super fast
[02:34] <gamerchick02> sounds like it
[02:35] <jjesse> its a work device :)
[02:35] <jjesse> so i didn't have to buy it
[02:35] <gamerchick02> ah
[02:35] <jjesse> which makes it even nicer
[02:35] <gamerchick02> i have an HP Elitebook for work, but it's running... windows XP
[02:35] <gamerchick02> i feel like i'm trying to eat steak with a spoon with it.
[02:35] <jjesse> boo upgrade to windows 7
[02:35] <gamerchick02> yeah, that is nice!
[02:36] <gamerchick02> i can't!
[02:36] <jjesse> double boo
[02:36] <gamerchick02> it's locked down more than a federal prison
[02:36] <jjesse> that sucks
[02:36] <gamerchick02> 7 is supposed to be coming.... they say.
[02:36] <jjesse> been there and done that
[02:36] <jjesse> maybe by the time windows 8 is up
[02:36] <jjesse> out
[02:36] <gamerchick02> well, i need it for some specialized stuff.
[02:37] <gamerchick02> lol jjesse
[02:37] <gamerchick02> probably
[02:37] <jjesse> beta release for 8 at CES in 2012
[02:37] <gamerchick02> wow
[02:37] <gamerchick02> i don't mind 7.
[02:37] <jjesse> brb laundyr
[02:37] <gamerchick02> how are you liking OSX?
[02:37] <gamerchick02> ok
[02:43] <gamerchick02> 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] <jjesse> i am liking it
[02:46] <jjesse> there are some things that are a bit frustrting
[02:47] <jjesse> looks like bzr doesn't work w/ lion
[02:47] <jjesse> so don't know what is going to happen for ubuntu-doc work
[02:48] <gamerchick02> eeep
[02:49] <gamerchick02> 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] <gamerchick02> i have tomboy on there
[02:49] <gamerchick02> and maybe i can extract with it
[02:49] <jjesse> oh
[02:49] <gamerchick02> my notes are stored in dropbox so that's not a problem
[02:50] <jjesse> i switched over to evernote
[02:50] <jjesse> does that work on ubuntu?
[02:50] <gamerchick02> i have them but not in a format i can use
[02:50] <gamerchick02> evernote? no
[02:50] <gamerchick02> nevernote is a java app that sort of works
[02:50] <jjesse> oh bummer on that
[02:50] <gamerchick02> but you can use the app in a browser
[02:50] <jjesse> oh ok
[02:50] <gamerchick02> i do like to have the option to use it if i don't have internet though
[02:51] <jjesse> yeah i used it on my Windows 7 build, my android phone and my ipad
[02:51] <jjesse> used to use OneNote when I was Windows only
[02:51] <gamerchick02> oooh
[02:51] <gamerchick02> nice
[02:51] <gamerchick02> i've heard good things about onenote
[02:51] <jjesse> i love onenote
[02:51] <jjesse> its awesome
[02:51] <gamerchick02> i'm thinking of springpad
[02:52] <gamerchick02> but again, i want an app that will work without internet
[02:52] <jjesse> never heard of that
[02:52] <gamerchick02> i case i need it
[02:52] <gamerchick02> www.springpad.com
[02:52] <gamerchick02> i think
[02:54] <gamerchick02> my brother is awesome
[02:54] <gamerchick02> he set up opendns on our router
[02:54] <jjesse> 45 minutes left in copying office for Mac over corporate vpn
[02:54] <gamerchick02> earthlink has shit dns
[02:54] <gamerchick02> eeep
[02:54] <jjesse> i bet
[02:54] <gamerchick02> but springpad looks cool
[02:55] <jjesse> well its a 1.2 gb iso
[02:56] <gamerchick02> wow
[02:56] <gamerchick02> yeah
[02:58] <jjesse> wondering if my vpn will die when i stop for the night?
[02:59] <gamerchick02> not sure
[02:59] <jjesse> i bet it will
[02:59] <gamerchick02> ooooh. i'm finally moving this weekend
[02:59] <gamerchick02> :)
[03:00] <jjesse> somewhere nice?
[03:00] <gamerchick02> got my apartment (finally)
[03:00] <jjesse> yay
[03:00] <gamerchick02> Auburn Hills Apartments
[03:00] <jjesse> cool
[03:00] <gamerchick02> yeah
[03:00] <jjesse> going to freak people by having the terminal open full screen sometime
[03:00] <jjesse> and be like yeah i just run the shell :)
[03:01] <gamerchick02> nice
[03:01] <gamerchick02> i'm doing all my chat via pidgin, which isn't ideal but heck
[03:01] <gamerchick02> it works
[03:01] <gamerchick02> and pidgin's irc has gotten better it seems. since the last time i tried
[03:01] <gamerchick02> it
[03:02] <jjesse> i'm using XChat Azure
[03:02] <jjesse> whatever that is
[03:03] <gamerchick02> sounds like xchat for mac.
[03:03] <gamerchick02> i could have gone with irssii or something but i like pidgin
[03:04] <gamerchick02> oh dear god the Target commercial for black friday is annoying
[03:04] <jjesse> all holiday commercials are anoying
[03:04] <jjesse> did you see the mace's justin bieber one?
[03:06] <jjesse> the app store in os x lion really doesn't have anything useful in it does it?
[03:06] <jjesse> i want these programs and have to go to the web instead of the app store
[03:06] <jjesse> seems silly to me
[03:08] <jjesse> and this whole download a file and drag it to an icon or something
[03:08] <jjesse> wierd
[03:09] <gamerchick02> no. i don't pay much attention to commercials
[03:09] <gamerchick02> i've never used the app store
[03:09] <gamerchick02> the only app store i use is the android one
[03:10] <jjesse> 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] <jjesse> oh well off to bed thanks for chatting
[03:10] <gamerchick02> ok see ya!
[11:50] <rick_h_> morning all
[12:01] <brousch> ug
[12:05] <rick_h_> yes, I'm with ya there
[12:06] <rick_h_> 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] <rick_h_> ah damn, it's closed today and tomorrow
[12:24] <rick_h_> brousch: ping, do you have IE handy?
[12:52] <brousch> i can steal my wife's computer
[12:53] <rick_h_> that's ok
[12:53] <rick_h_> thanks
[13:29] <brousch> wow, epic post on jjesse's google+
[13:29] <brousch> https://plus.google.com/115940769113439717190/posts/Vyhi6zYeHiV
[13:30] <brousch> it will have you punching babies (not just puppies)
[15:05] <rick_h_> ah crap, black friday deal on the kindle DX
[15:05] <brousch> color or diaf
[15:06] <rick_h_> heh, sorry I prefer to read
[15:06] <rick_h_> I've grown up past all those color picture books I give my son :)
[15:09] <snap-l> Good morning
[15:09] <rick_h_> recovered snap-l ?
[15:10] <snap-l> Yeah, able to look at food again
[15:10] <snap-l> was actually a very nice Thanksgiving
[15:12] <snap-l> Uh oh, Kindle DX is $259
[15:13] <snap-l> I think I can hear rick_h_ making the case for itnow.
[15:13] <rick_h_> I've been doing it alreay...wife wants a pdf reader
[15:13] <rick_h_> tempted to get it "for her" and see if it works
[15:13] <rick_h_> if not, I get it and I've got to find her a tabler
[15:13] <rick_h_> tablet
[15:14] <snap-l> sly. ;)
[15:17] <brousch> magazines are color too
[15:17] <rick_h_> yea, but hers are medical journals. I think non-color would work in actual use
[15:17] <brousch> and the interwebz
[15:17] <rick_h_> and if not, then all the sooner it gets to me
[15:18] <rick_h_> brousch: heh, yes...but really color is far down the list of useful bits like battery life, readability, and weight
[15:18] <brousch> youtube
[15:18] <brousch> netflix
[15:18] <rick_h_> lol, that's what computers and roku are for
[15:18] <rick_h_> I hear the average house has a ton of TVs
[15:18] <rick_h_> :)
[15:18] <brousch> we have 1
[15:18] <snap-l> We have one TV
[15:19] <snap-l> and it's pretty much a monitor for the Wii
[15:19] <brousch> my coworkers have more TVs than people in their house
[15:19] <snap-l> and the DVD player.
[15:19] <snap-l> I've never understood that
[15:19] <snap-l> then again, we have more monitors and laptops than people in this house.
[15:19] <rick_h_> heh, well we've got 3 though only two in use. Upstairs/downstairs and workout area in basement
[15:21] <rick_h_> ah, ie time done...close the wife's laptop
[15:23] <snap-l> Need some clorox wipes? :)
[15:23] <rick_h_> purell
[15:23] <brousch> or tissues?
[15:23] <rick_h_> :P
[15:23] <brousch> i think we're going to the muppets today
[15:23] <rick_h_> you suck!
[15:23] <rick_h_> :P
[15:24] <rick_h_> I'm planning on finding a place to see it in AL
[15:24] <snap-l> Need someone to give some recon on the movie
[15:24] <rick_h_> sahme the boy is just a little too young
[15:24] <rick_h_> snap-l: mpirnat saw it, reviewed ok (at least the < 140char twitter review)
[15:24] <snap-l> Yeah, I'm not likely to see it in the theaters.
[15:25] <brousch> this will be G's first theater movie, other than little museum movies
[16:18] <brousch> once again beaten to the punch https://plus.google.com/108952536790629690817/posts/Ygc2SoyWkin
[16:20] <rick_h_> brousch: lol
[17:21] <snap-l> https://plus.google.com/u/0/114999238419187496486/posts/P7TQLV2VouA <- Just laid down the gauntlet.
[17:26] <rick_h_> lol
[17:26] <rick_h_> hardly hair
[17:26] <rick_h_> fair
[17:28] <snap-l> Well, unfortunately it isn't a fair bet at all
[17:28] <snap-l> I'd love nothing more than to use free alternatives
[17:28] <snap-l> 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] <rick_h_> 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] <rick_h_> now the work to get it to spread across the rest of the site
[17:57] <snap-l> rick_h_: Very nice. :)
[18:01] <rick_h_> :)
[18:12] <snap-l> 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] <snap-l> So you can eat pie while you eat cake.
[18:12] <snap-l> (Cherpumple)
[18:31] <rick_h_> snap-l: heh, thanks
[18:33] <snap-l> Leave it to us to push the boundaries of food science in ways that will kill us
[18:37] <gamerchick02> howdy. you're all not shopping up a storm?
[18:37] <gamerchick02> ;)
[18:37] <gamerchick02> i'm playing with lubuntu. nice on the netbook, especially when you hide the taskbar.
[18:39] <rick_h_> nope, no shopping today
[18:39] <rick_h_> just work
[18:39] <snap-l> God no, not going anywhere near a shopping plavcw
[18:40] <rick_h_> did make it to the coffee shop for the afternoon though
[18:40] <gamerchick02> nice
[18:40] <gamerchick02> anyone running bitlbee in here?
[18:40] <gamerchick02> i'm not shopping at all
[18:40] <snap-l> Not in a while
[18:40] <gamerchick02> :)
[18:41] <gamerchick02> 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] <snap-l> brb, going to play some arcade games w/ JoDee.
[18:41] <rick_h_> I used to
[18:41] <gamerchick02> i *am* using xchat, only because i can't seem to figure out irsii
[18:41] <gamerchick02> blah
[18:41] <rick_h_> snap-l: let her win ;P
[18:41] <rick_h_> heh, irssi isn't bad
[18:41] <snap-l> rick_h_: You don't seem to understand
[18:41] <gamerchick02> snap-l that sounds like fun
[18:41] <snap-l> JoDee lets me win on occasion. :)
[18:42] <rick_h_> I run that with bitlebee for a bit, but ended up not using chat much so just left it alone
[18:42] <snap-l> rick_h_: I told you the MOrtal Kombat III story.
[18:42] <rick_h_> snap-l: ok, well make sure ot suck up nicely then to get a victory or two
[18:44] <gamerchick02> rick_h_ cool. i'll try it and if it doesn't work, i can always disable the service
[18:44] <gamerchick02> *shrug*
[18:44] <gamerchick02> i'm trying to do things lighter on this netbook
[18:44] <gamerchick02> lubuntu is about the right speed for it. hah!
[19:20] <rick_h_> greg-g: heh, party pooper
[20:05] <jcastro> thinkup charm ready!
[20:06] <rick_h_> sweet
[21:38] <snap-l> Got my Smarthome wall-switch in the mail today.
[22:46] <brousch> dagnabit, a year ago i wrote a sci-fi book plot revolving around this idea http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/11/25/143222/rethinking-rail-travel-boarding-a-moving-train
