| wolfger_ | hey rick_h__, where's the "report a bug" link on LP? I always have a devil of a time finding it | 01:25 |
|---|---|---|
| wolfger_ | You would think it would be in plain sight on the bugs.launchpad.net page | 01:26 |
| rick_h__ | wolfger_: it's on the ride side | 01:32 |
| rick_h__ | always in the column on the right | 01:32 |
| rick_h__ | wolfger_: the trick is that bugs.lp.net is just a landing page, you have to submit the bug to a specific project | 01:33 |
| rick_h__ | so always include the /xxxx | 01:33 |
| rick_h__ | so bugs.lp.net/launchpad or bugs.lp.net/sendoff etc | 01:33 |
| wolfger_ | got it. Thanks! | 01:34 |
| rick_h__ | np | 01:35 |
| wolfger_ | Woot. First bug filed in I don't know how long. | 01:39 |
| wolfger_ | Wait.... am I actually happy I just got bit by a bug? :-p | 01:39 |
| tjagoda | The only bugs I file come from that auto popup which does all the work for me. | 01:39 |
| snap-l | Evening | 01:39 |
| wolfger_ | tjagoda <-- lazy | 01:39 |
| tjagoda | I feel undereducated at manually reporting bugs | 01:40 |
| tjagoda | Like when I used to have to manually pick the package? Oh god. | 01:40 |
| wolfger_ | so if anybody cares to install python-wxglade and comment on the bug... It segfaults on me. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxglade/+bug/911554 | 01:47 |
| tjagoda | I am very glad I did not participate in alphas before I had cable | 01:52 |
| wolfger_ | lulz -> http://goo.gl/nrT7b | 02:12 |
| wolfger_ | tl;dr "swap is slow, so I'm going to use my RAM as a swap partition" | 02:13 |
| tjagoda | I know a guy who uses a ramdisk to host a minecraft server. | 02:13 |
| wolfger_ | now that makes sense | 02:18 |
| jrwren | lol | 02:26 |
| brousch | snap-l: you geekered me | 03:29 |
| snap-l | brousch: Eh? | 03:43 |
| snap-l | Not sure what that means. | 03:43 |
| snap-l | Actually, using RAM for tmp makes sense | 03:44 |
| snap-l | but not for swap. That's just asking for trouble. | 03:44 |
| brousch | the kubuntu CDs you sent are 32bit, but they don't say that anywhere | 03:44 |
| brousch | not really your fault ;) | 03:45 |
| brousch | so i have to download 64bit and reinstall | 03:45 |
| snap-l | I'd assume that anything on CD is 32 bit, since that's the recommended variant. | 03:45 |
| snap-l | brousch: Yeah, I had to download the 64 bit alternate install for my work machine | 03:45 |
| snap-l | Creating a USB stick via a USB stick is, entertaining. | 03:46 |
| jrwren | why is 32bit recommended? | 03:46 |
| snap-l | jrwren: Honestly, I have no idea | 03:46 |
| snap-l | I think they figure it's backward-compatible, so if someone tries it in their 2006 era machine, it'll just work. | 03:46 |
| snap-l | instead of giving some cryptic incompatibilitiy message. | 03:47 |
| brousch | snap-l: so how was the first day? | 03:47 |
| snap-l | brousch: Had a good lunch, filled out some paperwork, and reinstalled Alternate Ubuntu too many times to try to sort out software RAID. | 03:48 |
| brousch | heh | 03:48 |
| snap-l | tomorrow should be more fine-tuning | 03:48 |
| snap-l | Having to get acclimated to an office again | 03:48 |
| jjesse__ | is that code for you forgot to wear pants to work today? | 03:49 |
| snap-l | Speaking of which, going to hit the hay. | 03:49 |
| snap-l | jjesse__: No, fortunately I have pants | 03:49 |
| === jjesse__ is now known as jjesse | ||
| snap-l | just haven't worn them in a long while. ;) | 03:49 |
| snap-l | Hopefully I'll be able to ssh into my home machine, or I'll be rather upset. | 03:49 |
| jjesse | you figured out your key problem right? | 03:52 |
| snap-l | jjesse: Yeah, the problem was I created the pub/private key here | 03:53 |
| snap-l | and not on the destination machine | 03:53 |
| snap-l | I think it's sorted now | 03:53 |
| snap-l | I'll find out tomorrow for certain, though. ;) | 03:54 |
| snap-l | Anywho, g'night, everyone. See you in the morning. :) | 03:55 |

| wolfger_ | jrwren: 32-bit is recommended because it works better. Case in point: my wifi now works flawlessly (after reformatting a fubar 64-bit install and putting 32-bit in) | 07:26 |

| Wolfger | Good morning party people | 12:08 |
| snap-l | jrwren: The only thing in that lot that I'd be interested in is the Percom Happy Drive for the Atari. ;) | 12:19 |
| snap-l | Bah, that's no the Happy drive. but still... | 12:20 |
| rick_h__ | morning | 12:26 |
| snap-l | Morning | 12:27 |
| Wolfger | Happy Drive? | 12:34 |
| Wolfger | Do you have to bend your 5.25" floppy to get it inserted into the smiley-face slot? | 12:35 |
| nullspace | morning all | 13:00 |
| rick_h__ | party party | 13:00 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: No, not really. ;) | 13:00 |
| snap-l | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Computers | 13:00 |
| tjagoda | howdy | 13:15 |
| rick_h__ | tjagoda: multiple days in a row? | 13:16 |
| tjagoda | Consider it a belated Christmas present! | 13:25 |
| snap-l | huzzah! | 13:37 |
| Wolfger | His Blackberry must be on the fritz ;-) | 13:45 |
| rick_h__ | oh man, we owe tjagoda so much blackberry fun | 13:46 |
| snap-l | Speaking of BB, apparently the Playbook is on clearance. | 13:46 |
| snap-l | $400 off | 13:46 |
| rick_h__ | back taxes so to say | 13:46 |
| snap-l | That almost puts it within give-a-damn range. | 13:46 |
| nullspace | you can apperently run some android apps on it | 13:49 |
| tjagoda | Not yet you cant | 13:49 |
| tjagoda | =( | 13:49 |
| nullspace | but seeing as it lacks an SD reader it doesn't exist to me | 13:49 |
| tjagoda | That patch has been in limbo for like 8000 years | 13:49 |
| nullspace | tjagoda: if you root it I heard you could | 13:49 |
| Wolfger | Somebody still uses SD? | 13:49 |
| tjagoda | I actually love the Blackberry OS on it | 13:50 |
| nullspace | yeah my SLR does | 13:50 |
| tjagoda | what it does, it does very well | 13:50 |
| Wolfger | nullspace: that's what USB cables are for... | 13:50 |
| tjagoda | they've just been really really slow at patching more features into it | 13:50 |
| nullspace | Wolfger: I have this image of your house looking like the borg took it over | 13:51 |
| nullspace | I hates cables and dongles | 13:51 |
| snap-l | nullspace: I hate latency. :) | 13:51 |
| snap-l | That said, if I can make something wireless without too much trouble, I will | 13:52 |
| snap-l | (too much trouble == mice, computers in other rooms with no obvious drops, etc) | 13:52 |
| nullspace | not sure how taking a sd card out of a slr and dropping it into a tablet has anything to latency | 13:52 |
| Wolfger | nullspace: I try to get everything on one cable. Micro-USB. So far my work cell, personal cell, and Kindle all use it. And I rarely need more than one device plugged in at a time. | 13:52 |
| Wolfger | when I get a new camera, I'll look for a camera that takes micro USB too. | 13:52 |
| tjagoda | All my blackberry stuff uses Mini USB | 13:53 |
| brousch | i just dropbox things to my phone and nookcolor | 13:53 |
| snap-l | nullspace: Um, why would you want to take photos from a SLR and put them in a tablet? | 13:53 |
| tjagoda | I live on Mini USB | 13:53 |
| Wolfger | One cable to rule them all, one cable to bind them | 13:53 |
| nullspace | not sure why anyone would want to plug their camera into their laptop | 13:53 |
| snap-l | nullspace: Because it's their primary machine? :) | 13:53 |
| snap-l | not everyone lives on beige boxes | 13:54 |
| tjagoda | the planet revolves around my lap/desktop | 13:54 |
| nullspace | snap-l: to see if I need to retake them, the lcd on a slr is tiny and someit's hard to tell if it's in focus | 13:54 |
| snap-l | or some painted version thereof. | 13:54 |
| nullspace | snap-l: take the card out of the camera, saves battery | 13:54 |
| snap-l | nullspace: I'd trust a laptop screen over a tablet screen | 13:54 |
| nullspace | I'm poor and | 13:54 |
| nullspace | I still have a 5lb laptop | 13:54 |
| brousch | how about one of those eyefi things? | 13:55 |
| Wolfger | snap-l: even a tablet with Retina (R) Display? ;-) | 13:55 |
| rick_h__ | they still make mini usb? | 13:55 |
| snap-l | Ye gads, that's hardly ideal. :) | 13:55 |
| tjagoda | I want to punch people in the face here when they complain about the weight of their 17 inch laptops | 13:55 |
| tjagoda | NO CRAP DUDE | 13:55 |
| nullspace | I trust a RAID 5 over a single drive but I'm not carrying one around | 13:55 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: Especially a tablet with retina display. | 13:55 |
| nullspace | snap-l: you have your ideals and I have mine | 13:56 |
| snap-l | mine are better. :) | 13:56 |
| nullspace | also there is no built in sd port in my laptop | 13:56 |
| snap-l | nullspace: Ouch, what monstrosity are you carrying? | 13:56 |
| nullspace | 1024x768 vs 1440x900 not really that big of a diff there | 13:57 |
| snap-l | Even my lowly Thinkpad X120E has a SD slot | 13:57 |
| nullspace | snap-l: yeah I have a mortage to pay so I still have my t61 | 13:57 |
| nullspace | a laptop upgrade is likely not going to happen even if this dies | 13:58 |
| snap-l | I could loan you a Sandisk SD USB reader. | 13:58 |
| snap-l | They're pretty handy, IMHO | 13:58 |
| nullspace | I have usb SD readers | 13:58 |
| nullspace | it's just another thing to carry | 13:58 |
| snap-l | Yeah, I guess. | 13:59 |
| tjagoda | I just carry a mobile darkroom with me when I need to take pictures. | 13:59 |
| nullspace | tjagoda: still using film eh? | 14:00 |
| rick_h__ | http://t.co/qN3XS9k7www.youtube.com/watch?v=ginQNMiRu2w is really cool | 14:01 |
| rick_h__ | <3 the music part since I'm a Zimmer fan and have the soundtrack | 14:01 |
| nullspace | what's this video of? | 14:01 |
| rick_h__ | the creator of inception about the movie @Google | 14:02 |
| tjagoda | I just spent $600 on college textbooks. | 14:04 |
| tjagoda | =( | 14:05 |
| rick_h__ | ouch, I remember those days | 14:05 |
| Wolfger | ugh | 14:05 |
| brousch | tjagoda: what are you studying? | 14:05 |
| tjagoda | Four classes | 14:06 |
| snap-l | tjagoda: Ouch. | 14:06 |
| tjagoda | Its the semester of hell | 14:06 |
| tjagoda | Java programming, Calculus for Business Applications, Management & Leadership, and Organizational Psychology | 14:07 |
| tjagoda | I dread the calculus. | 14:07 |
| snap-l | I had no end of troubl ewith Calculus. Have you taken Physics? | 14:07 |
| rick_h__ | calc wasn't bad, calc 2 threw me for a bit though | 14:08 |
| snap-l | yeah, I squeaked by in Calc 2 | 14:08 |
| Wolfger | calc sucked | 14:08 |
| Wolfger | but when I took Technical Calculus, I think I got a B+ or an A... It was much easier to grasp | 14:09 |
| brousch | calc is a big reason i have an anthropology degree | 14:09 |
| snap-l | brousch: hah | 14:09 |
| nullspace | calc2 is weed out class IIRC | 14:10 |
| nullspace | calc 3 was justa bitch, hyperbolic sine integration | 14:10 |
| tjagoda | I have no use to this maths. | 14:12 |
| tjagoda | Hopefully its like my last math class with a lazy professor that gives A's on everything | 14:12 |
| rick_h__ | meh, even my wife did calc I for non-match majors. And she can't do math | 14:12 |
| rick_h__ | I mean...doing 48/6 is like watching a 386 do factorials | 14:13 |
| tjagoda | http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=1290628 | 14:15 |
| tjagoda | That is encouraging | 14:15 |
| tjagoda | I like when I get professors used to teaching the lower newbie maths | 14:16 |
| tjagoda | because it means they're conditioned to be incredibly forgiving | 14:16 |
| tjagoda | "Great teacher. you have to be a complete retard to fail his class." | 14:17 |
| tjagoda | CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. | 14:17 |
| nullspace | nice, I think I've manged to totally hose my audio | 14:23 |
| nullspace | fing pulse audio | 14:24 |
| tjagoda | My audio likes to crackle in ubuntu. | 14:30 |
| tjagoda | It doesn't wake up from powersave correctly. | 14:30 |
| nullspace | I thought you had a system76 | 14:37 |
| brousch | my audio is perfect on this latitude d630 | 14:39 |
| tjagoda | Even on the system76 it sometimes happens | 14:40 |
| nullspace | so who is running 12.04 beta? | 14:42 |
| nullspace | I'm disenchanted with 11.10 | 14:42 |
| jcastro | me | 14:43 |
| jcastro | but it's not much different from 11.10 | 14:43 |
| brousch | 11.10 r0x | 14:44 |
| brousch | kubuntu | 14:45 |
| brousch | except for the crazy ram usage | 14:45 |
| tjagoda | Nobody, because 12.04 beta doesn't exist ;D | 14:45 |
| tjagoda | Alpha 1 ftw | 14:45 |
| tjagoda | But yeah, 11.10 is not happytimes | 14:46 |
| tjagoda | Hard locks my system at random intervals. | 14:46 |
| nullspace | I'm running xfce on the main box, and gnome/unity on the lappy. I've given unity a second chance and I am not a fan | 14:47 |
| tjagoda | I want to rewind to gnome 2.2 | 14:47 |
| tjagoda | Not so much a fan of this unified user interface trend | 14:48 |
| nullspace | nah xfce with nautilius | 14:48 |
| jcastro | hah | 14:48 |
| tjagoda | Gnome 2.2 made sense to me because of my years of errant conditioning | 14:48 |
| brousch | i set up my kde panels just like gnome 2. it's a beautiful thing | 14:50 |
| tjagoda | Although unity seems like its improving, I'll give it that | 14:50 |
| nullspace | though I am intriuged by the work on features with pulse audio that were removed in 11.10 | 14:50 |
| tjagoda | Definitely better than the terror that is Gnome 3 | 14:50 |
| tjagoda | I just miss my top panel with always there buttons and the old school windows style trays | 14:51 |
| brousch | my problem with xfce is that it would not suspend and coming out of hibernate took like 5 minutes | 14:51 |
| tjagoda | This is probably where I shout get off my lawn | 14:51 |
| tjagoda | I hate you brousch. | 14:53 |
| tjagoda | Looking at KDE. | 14:53 |
| brousch | why for? | 14:53 |
| tjagoda | Do you have any idea how long I've maintained an anti-KDE diplomatic dispute with Wolfger?! =P | 14:54 |
| nullspace | jcastro: any idea if there are going to bring back the pulse audio remote server feature? | 14:55 |
| nullspace | I know it was horrible but curious if they see any hope | 14:55 |
| jcastro | what's the remote server feature? | 14:55 |
| brousch | tjagoda: i also used to consider it a jumbled mess | 14:55 |
| nullspace | basically one machine could pipe audio to another machine | 14:55 |
| jcastro | oh | 14:55 |
| jcastro | that's there | 14:56 |
| jcastro | are you sure you're not missing a package? | 14:56 |
| jcastro | I just set that up the other day | 14:56 |
| nullspace | really? | 14:56 |
| jcastro | yeah | 14:56 |
| nullspace | what doc did you follow? | 14:56 |
| jcastro | is the paprefs installed | 14:56 |
| jcastro | but greyed out? | 14:56 |
| nullspace | yeah | 14:56 |
| jcastro | oh dude | 14:56 |
| jcastro | one sec | 14:56 |
| jcastro | I just found out why | 14:56 |
| brousch | tjagoda: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/101667/snapshot10.png | 14:57 |
| nullspace | though I made some changes to un grey out the features | 14:57 |
| jcastro | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/paprefs/+bug/829051 | 14:57 |
| jcastro | it's a symlink | 14:57 |
| nullspace | yeah I did that | 14:58 |
| jcastro | it was fixed | 14:58 |
| jcastro | and then broke again | 14:58 |
| jcastro | and then no body changed the bug back to "it's broken" | 14:58 |
| jcastro | #24 is what worked for me | 14:58 |
| tjagoda | brousch: that is beauty | 14:58 |
| nullspace | but I can't install padevchooser | 14:59 |
| tjagoda | I like the bottom panel. | 14:59 |
| tjagoda | A bottom panel like that is what I miss most from unity. | 14:59 |
| nullspace | how am I suppose to select a sound server | 15:00 |
| tjagoda | brousch: what KDE version is that? | 15:01 |
| jcastro | in the sound settings | 15:01 |
| jcastro | the server just shows up as an output device. | 15:01 |
| brousch | tjagoda: whatever is in 11.10. i spent about 30 mins adding panels and moving stuff where it should be | 15:01 |
| tjagoda | I wonder if it will hardlock and crash less on the kubuntu side of the pond. | 15:02 |
| nullspace | jcastro: will it only work in 12.04 ? | 15:03 |
| jcastro | I tested it in 12.04 but it's the same as in 11.10 | 15:03 |
| jcastro | that dropdown has been there for like 2 years | 15:03 |
| nullspace | hmm nothing popping up on the output | 15:03 |
| jcastro | ping me later and I'll bring my laptop out | 15:04 |
| jcastro | gotta get this stuff finished today | 15:04 |
| brousch | tjagoda: i have had one crash in the last two or three weeks i've been running this. my big problem is that i keep running out of ram despite having 4GB. firefox and chrome seem to use more ram under kde. | 15:09 |
| tjagoda | I think I have 6GB in the lappy at home | 15:11 |
| tjagoda | I like that swtiching between desktop environments is as (theoretically) simple as apt-get | 15:12 |
| brousch | i currently have unity, gnome shell, kubuntu, and xubuntu on here | 15:16 |
| Wolfger | tjagoda: welcome to the K side :-) | 15:17 |
| Wolfger | brousch: You should make your KDE config accessible. I like your setup. | 15:18 |
| brousch | how do i do that? | 15:19 |
| tjagoda | You have to use force lightning, and gain dark side points | 15:20 |
| tjagoda | =( | 15:20 |
| brousch | is that some game reference? | 15:20 |
| Wolfger | brousch: I dunno. I was hoping you'd know | 15:20 |
| brousch | :P | 15:21 |
| Wolfger | Maybe I'll look around in ~/.kde tonight and see if I can figure out what file you need to send me :-) | 15:21 |
| nullspace | I got pax11publish to push audio to the server | 15:30 |
| Wolfger | Huh... downvoting on AskUbuntu decreases your own reputation? | 15:32 |
| snap-l | It can | 15:35 |
| Wolfger | I kinda like that, actually. Make people think before they bash. | 15:38 |
| nullspace | sounds like it's recompressing to audio and lowering the bitrate...gah | 15:49 |
| krondor | brousch: makes sense that chrome and FF would use more ram, GTK libraries. | 15:51 |
| brousch | but i have pidgin, chrome, and FF running. wouldn't they share libraries? | 15:57 |
| krondor | they should share, but do you see anything odd in FF when you do about:memory ? | 16:03 |
| brousch | it is all odd since i have never looked at it | 16:04 |
| brousch | vsize is 1.4GB | 16:05 |
| krondor | what's resident? | 16:06 |
| krondor | vsize includes shared memory maps | 16:07 |
| krondor | resident is what only FF is using | 16:07 |
| brousch | 366MB | 16:08 |
| brousch | i have half a dozen pages open | 16:08 |
| krondor | doesn't sound bad, I'm at 450MB with 15 tabs in Unity at the moment. | 16:09 |
| krondor | chrome://memory-redirect will give you similar details | 16:10 |
| krondor | You'll want to note the Memory: Private column. | 16:11 |
| brousch | 862MB | 16:12 |
| brousch | geez, gmail is using 212MB by itself | 16:12 |
| brousch | google reader 172 | 16:12 |
| tjagoda | brousch: Opinions on new gmail interface? | 16:14 |
| brousch | i don't mind it in compact mode | 16:14 |
| krondor | yeah some websites are heavier hitters than others by far | 16:17 |
| krondor | I kind of like the new gmail interface, but only in compact mode.. too much whitespace otherwise | 16:17 |
| snap-l | What's the current wisdom for setting up dual monitors for nvidia cards? | 16:25 |
| snap-l | ie: do I save an xorg.conf file or not? | 16:25 |
| rick_h__ | don't they have a fancy app for that? | 16:25 |
| krondor | nvidia-settings apps | 16:27 |
| krondor | I usually end up hand editing because my laptop gpu sucks and is super picky on docking/undocking with dual monitor. | 16:28 |
| snap-l | They do, but if I save the xorg.conf file, it gets pissy with me. | 16:30 |
| Wolfger | New Gmail is larger than old Gmail, even in "compact mode". Too much wasted space. | 16:34 |
| tjagoda | agree | 16:37 |
| tjagoda | http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/246826/as_2012_dawns_mint_leads_the_list_of_top_linux_distros.html | 16:41 |
| tjagoda | Didn't know Mint has passed up Ubuntu in the top distrowatch | 16:41 |
| tjagoda | ...who do we have to kill? | 16:41 |
| rick_h__ | tjagoda: heh, so it was found that it was scripted | 16:42 |
| rick_h__ | I believe | 16:42 |
| rick_h__ | it's purely based on hits to the page and that's easy to automate | 16:42 |
| tjagoda | ahhhh | 16:42 |
| rick_h__ | not that I'm biased or anything :) | 16:42 |
| * Wolfger plots to script up a Gentoo victory | 16:46 | |
| tjagoda | I plan to make a blank page the top linux distro. | 16:48 |
| tjagoda | =P | 16:48 |
| widox_ | krondor: do you have an automated way to switch monitor configs when docking/undocking? | 16:50 |
| widox_ | I currently use the nvidia tool, but I hvae to re-do everything I un/dock | 16:50 |
| widox_ | evertime* | 16:50 |
| === widox_ is now known as widox | ||
| nullspace | widox: any luck with xrandr? | 16:56 |
| widox | nullspace: negative, doesn't want to work with nvidia | 16:58 |
| nullspace | sucks | 16:58 |
| tjagoda | I think krondor said he just manually edits files | 16:59 |
| snap-l | gah, having trouble with Google Chrome's launcher. | 17:09 |
| rick_h__ | snap-l: chrome's launcher? | 17:29 |
| snap-l | Unity | 17:29 |
| snap-l | Doesn't seem to want to fire up Chrome | 17:30 |
| rick_h__ | oh | 17:30 |
| Wolfger | does it launch from cli ok? | 17:32 |
| snap-l | Yeah, it's fine otherwise. | 17:33 |
| Wolfger | Diagnosis: Unity sucks. :-) | 17:36 |
| Wolfger | or possibly you just need to fix the properties on the launcher | 17:36 |
| snap-l | Yeah, it's possible. | 17:37 |
| Wolfger | Solution: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 17:37 |
| snap-l | sudo apt-get autoremove wolfger && sudo apt-get install syncophant | 17:37 |
| Wolfger | sudo apt-get purge work-day && sudo apt-get install nap-time | 17:45 |
| snap-l | works for me. | 17:48 |
| snap-l | I wish there was a cheat code for unlimited wealth like The Sims. :) | 17:49 |
| Wolfger | ++ | 17:49 |
| Wolfger | was just discussing winning lotto tickets with a buddy of mine who works at Warren Truck. We both agreed that telling anybody you won is just a bad idea... | 17:50 |
| Wolfger | I said "all anybody will know is that I no longer work for Chrysler. I'll be a freelance programmer, or maybe open a brewpub." | 17:50 |
| Wolfger | and of course by "freelance programmer", I really mean "unemployed and tinkering on FOSS projects" | 17:51 |
| rick_h__ | crazy cool http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/938 | 17:54 |
| snap-l | Very nice | 17:55 |
| snap-l | I hope this is a first in a very long line of exceedingly well-tested releases. | 17:55 |
| rick_h__ | http://www.singleservecoffee.com/archives/039337.php kind of cool | 17:56 |
| rick_h__ | I need to get some for me, the wife is using them all the time | 17:56 |
| krondor | widox: nope unfortuantely | 17:57 |
| * krondor can't type | 17:58 | |
| Wolfger | Good stuff from Shuttleworth. Of course, when he talks about quality like that, it just seems so obvious that I can only think "why hasn't it always been like this?" | 18:01 |
| Wolfger | The weather report is a nifty idea... https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/ | 18:01 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: Well, likely because the tools finally matured | 18:01 |
| Wolfger | coffee joulies? Hmm... not sure about that idea. | 18:03 |
| rick_h__ | Wolfger: you ever setup a CI environment and write tests for all your code? | 18:04 |
| rick_h__ | and then do it for a ton of projects? that's why it's not been done before | 18:04 |
| jcastro | rick_h__: I got a fitbit | 18:05 |
| jcastro | get one | 18:05 |
| jcastro | I need a "stop being fat jorge" buddy | 18:05 |
| rick_h__ | jcastro: yea? I was looking at them but wasn't sure on the linux story | 18:05 |
| rick_h__ | I wanted to get some sort of gps/heart rate thingy for workouts | 18:05 |
| rick_h__ | jcastro: they don't work wireless right? | 18:06 |
| Wolfger | rick_h__: Nope, I haven't. I'm just saying, the way Shuttleworth talks about it, it sounds like a no-brainer. I'm sure it's much more difficult to do than he makes it sound. | 18:06 |
| jcastro | Wolfger: it's never been like that because no one has done it before to the scale we are | 18:06 |
| jcastro | rick_h__: it does, to the wireless base | 18:06 |
| jcastro | rick_h__: only gotcha is win/osx for the base, but jono's in contact with them and they say they're working on the linux support | 18:06 |
| jcastro | Wolfger: and it's also brutally expensive | 18:07 |
| rick_h__ | yea, I don't have anything non-linux these days | 18:07 |
| rick_h__ | jcastro: but will watch eagerly for some way to get the data off in linux | 18:07 |
| jcastro | nod | 18:08 |
| jcastro | they have an API and stuff | 18:08 |
| rick_h__ | nice, yea. I need something | 18:08 |
| jcastro | I am going to mail them and see if they would even just provide the info we need | 18:08 |
| jcastro | and hell, we can ask someone to write the driver | 18:08 |
| snap-l | jcastro: If they get Linux support, I'll gladly get one | 18:09 |
| snap-l | I need some motivation to get rid of my Buddah belly. | 18:09 |
| nullspace | the threat of pain seems to work for most | 18:12 |
| snap-l | Well, yes, that is a motivation | 18:12 |
| Wolfger | :-) | 18:13 |
| Wolfger | I own that t-shirt... | 18:13 |
| Wolfger | (dude being chased by T-Rex, caption: "EXERCISE: Some motivation required" | 18:13 |
| Wolfger | fitbit costs $100? It looks like a glorified pedometer... | 18:37 |
| rick_h__ | Wolfger: with internet upload and pretty charts :) | 18:38 |
| nullspace | bah I'm sure my phone has a app the does the same thing | 18:39 |
| rick_h__ | and did you phone cost > $100? | 18:40 |
| nullspace | it's already bought | 18:40 |
| nullspace | oh hey free fitbit app | 18:41 |
| Wolfger | The 80's have ruined my brain. Here we are in 2012, and still every time somebody says something about "pushing it", I get Salt'n'Peppa singing in my head. | 18:48 |
| Wolfger | snap-l: http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/04/the-black-keys-nickelback-helping-to-kill-rock/?hpt=hp_bn4 | 19:00 |
| nullspace | nice | 19:12 |
| krondor | cleaning my home office yesterday, I think I found 2 full CD stacks of burned linux isos. Ubuntu 5.10, RedHat 7, ugh. | 19:19 |
| krondor | reminds me I should install from usb key more often (though in earlier days that wasn't so simple) | 19:19 |
| rick_h__ | usb sticks ftw | 19:19 |
| nullspace | krondor: iodd ftw | 19:28 |
| krondor | nullspace, iodd looks neat. Hadn't seen this. | 19:33 |
| nullspace | there is a member of i3 or former member that is a regional sales distributor | 19:35 |
| nullspace | you can skip on shipping costs | 19:36 |
| nullspace | I think it's melstav | 19:36 |
| tjagoda | woot | 19:43 |
| tjagoda | my Oreilly loot | 19:43 |
| Wolfger | didn't you buy it yesterday? | 19:52 |
| tjagoda | Yes | 19:53 |
| Wolfger | Why did it take so long to receive e-books? | 19:53 |
| Wolfger | Don't tell me you're a tree murderer... | 19:53 |
| Wolfger | ;-) | 19:53 |
| tjagoda | I murder trees for Oreilly | 19:55 |
| tjagoda | Hate tech ebooks | 19:55 |
| snap-l | You just haven't found the right ebook reader. :) | 20:03 |
| rick_h__ | DX! | 20:04 |
| rick_h__ | spent time reading my social network data book in pdf form on there last night | 20:05 |
| tjagoda | might buy the kindle for its eInk display | 20:06 |
| tjagoda | but I have numerous other things I would rather spend money on at present | 20:06 |
| tjagoda | What I hate passionately however is the retarded BN Nook PC program for BN College Textbooks | 20:06 |
| tjagoda | eTextbooks* | 20:06 |
| tjagoda | omg so much DRM | 20:07 |
| tjagoda | Lost access to my course books for 4 days in a Barnes and Noble server outage | 20:07 |
| tjagoda | So much nerd rage | 20:07 |
| snap-l | tjagoda: Yeah, frankly it's not worth it | 20:14 |
| snap-l | Textbooks = hardcopy | 20:14 |
| snap-l | at least you can sell them back for beer money when you're through | 20:15 |
| snap-l | and frankly, most text books are shit. | 20:15 |
| tjagoda | yep | 20:16 |
| tjagoda | afkhome | 20:19 |
| krondor | gmail compact script to improve whitespace in the new theme (per the scrollback) http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/117234 | 20:57 |
