[05:11] <tomp711> Hey guys fresh install on my new Lenovo laptop. I am looking for some help on getting the touch volume keys to work
[11:12] <rmg51> Morning
[12:02] <rmg51> JonathanD: must still be at the Zoo ;-)
[12:08] <JonathanD> Hi rmg51
[12:11] <waltman> rmg51: What, you think JonathanD can't IRC from the zoo?
[12:25] <rmg51> it's possible
[12:25] <rmg51> but he is usually here much earlier
[12:26] <rmg51> that could mean the zookeepers didn't wake him up early enough
[12:26] <rmg51> anyway, time to leave for work :P
[13:07] <teddy-dbear> morning
[14:12] <JonathanD> Morning.
[14:14] <MutantTurkey> Morning'
[15:38] <Adom|office> hi all
[15:53] <InHisName> mornin'
[16:47] <Adom|office> so i officially hate GoDaddy. never using them for hosting again.
[16:47] <JonathanD> Victory!
[16:47] <JonathanD> Adom|office: what did they do this time?
[16:48] <Adom|office> just horrible experience trying to migrate a linux WP blog installation to a windows godaddy shared server
[16:48] <Adom|office> they have the stupidest things turned on and off to make the process painstakingly difficult
[16:48] <JonathanD> To a windows shared server?
[16:48] <Adom|office> ya
[16:48] <JonathanD> I'm not sure why you would want to do that...
[16:49] <Adom|office> orders is orders'
[16:49] <JonathanD> But I hate godaddy too.
[16:49] <Adom|office> whats your preferred hosting spot?
[16:49] <JonathanD> I mostly use linodes.
[16:49] <JonathanD> But they are not windows.
[16:50] <JonathanD> I also use 1and1 for shared hosting (really for cheap bulk space)
[16:50] <Adom|office> thats fine, i prefer linux, but coworkers dont know it so hosting for here is usually done with winblows
[16:50] <Adom|office> ive heard 1and1 is nice
[16:50] <JonathanD> 1and1 has VPS and dedicated stuff.
[16:50] <JonathanD> 1and1 is ok.
[16:50] <JonathanD> Not perfect, but ok.
[16:51] <JonathanD> We have a windows dedicated server with them, actually.
[16:52] <ChinnoDog> woot-off
[16:53] <Adom|office> ChinnoDog: you need a vacuum?
[16:54] <ChinnoDog> No, just pointing out it is going on
[16:55] <JonathanD> home.woot has a inflatable mattress right now
[16:55] <JonathanD> also in wootoff
[16:55] <Adom|office> ahh
[16:56] <JonathanD> Adom|office: you should demo them a linode.
[16:56] <JonathanD> are you going to be using wordpress?
[16:56] <Adom|office> i just convinced them to switch to linux on GoDaddy rather than Windows, i doubt i could push a host change :(
[16:57] <Adom|office> yeah WP for a site we're working on
[16:57] <Adom|office> well...a site some grad students want to work on
[16:57] <Adom|office> that i have to set up
[16:59] <Adom|office> we're updating our alumni site from some older limited web software to a WP install with BuddyPress and some other plugins
[16:59] <Adom|office> prettier, easier to interact with, etc
[16:59] <Adom|office> im all for it, but the grad students on it aren't nerds at all, and only one has WP experience
[17:00] <JonathanD> how much is the godaddy plan?
[17:00] <Adom|office> quick side question: is it true that you can host a WP on GoDaddy free economy hosting?
[17:00] <Adom|office> um
[17:01] <Adom|office> like $5/month
[17:01] <JonathanD> I don't know about that.
[17:02] <JonathanD> not awful.
[17:02] <JonathanD> They're an awful host, though :P
[17:02] <Adom|office> right
[17:02] <Adom|office> you get what you pay for
[17:03] <Adom|office> maybe once i get the GoDaddy linux install up and running nicely, i can demo a linode install
[17:03] <JonathanD> I can loan you a linode to demo on.
[17:03] <Adom|office> does linode use cpanel or plesk or something?
[17:03] <Adom|office> i might take you up on that later
[17:03] <JonathanD> linode doesn't use anything. You have a ground-up install.
[17:04] <JonathanD> You can put on whatever you want, at that point.
[17:04] <Adom|office> ahh, i shee
[17:04] <Adom|office> i like that a lot, but higher ups wont
[17:04] <Adom|office> they dont like the command line
[17:04] <JonathanD> They don't need to see the command line.
[17:04] <Adom|office> so id have to install cpanel or something
[17:04] <JonathanD> Yeah.
[17:05] <Adom|office> id like that for a personal remote box a lot actually
[17:05] <JonathanD> I use one for that.
[17:05] <JonathanD> for irc and the like.
[17:05] <JonathanD> and for development
[17:06] <Adom|office> JonathanD: http://www.mariasguides.com/2006/09/18/moving-a-wordpress-blog-to-godaddy-hostingcom-part-1/
[17:06] <Adom|office> scroll down to "If you're using a free hosting credit..."
[17:06] <Adom|office> thats why i asked
[17:06] <JonathanD> sounds like it adds ads?
[17:09] <Adom|office> probably
[17:09] <Adom|office> which would be acceptable i guess for a free hosting credit
[17:09] <Adom|office> might dabble with it
[17:09] <JonathanD> linodes are relatively expensive, compared to cheap hosting.
[17:10] <Adom|office> yeah, i probably wouldnt hit a snag with that if i recommended it though, luckily money isnt usually an issue when it comes to new projects
[17:11] <Adom|office> especially if the only linux nerd (me) says its what we need
[17:11] <JonathanD> Having full control gives you more options later, too.
[17:11] <Adom|office> true
[17:11] <JonathanD> If you decide, for example, you want a redundant clone somewhere. Easy to do with full access.
[17:11] <JonathanD> A real PITA without.
