| rick_h | anyone have the amazon downloader working in ubuntu these days? | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| snap-l | rick_h: I've used Banshee as an Amazon Downloader | 01:54 |
| snap-l | seems to work OK | 01:54 |
| snap-l | G'morning | 14:01 |
| * mydogsnameisrudy is thankful for a sunny day ... | 14:27 | |
| rick_h | party | 14:42 |
| rick_h | _stink_: moving to a big boy bed...how many times you think he'll fall out in the next week? lol | 14:43 |
| snap-l | rick_h: Nah, he'll be fine | 14:53 |
| * snap-l is filling out paper taxes | 14:53 | |
| rick_h | ugh trying to block out tax stuff | 14:56 |
| greg-g | snap-l: I also did my the paper tax way, so old school feeling | 14:58 |
| snap-l | WEll, I did it via Tax Act | 14:58 |
| snap-l | can't do it competely off the grid | 14:58 |
| snap-l | but I totally print my forms. | 14:58 |
| snap-l | What the heck | 14:59 |
| snap-l | Didn't 12.04 have a way to resize the launcher? | 14:59 |
| greg-g | I'm one of those freaks who thinks it should be straight-forward enough for anyone to do their legally required* duty to file their taxes without the help of a 3rd party (paid or unpaid) service | 15:00 |
| rick_h | yea, in the appearance controls | 15:00 |
| rick_h | there'sa second tab which has the autohide behavior and size controls | 15:00 |
| snap-l | It's not in the version I just installed. | 15:00 |
| rick_h | greg-g: heh, should be...but I've had to have help the last several years | 15:00 |
| rick_h | snap-l: should be, I just did this yesterday with my fresh install | 15:01 |
| snap-l | Hmmm... | 15:01 |
| rick_h | you go to settings, appearance, and the second tab I thought | 15:01 |
| snap-l | Yeah, that's where I went | 15:01 |
| greg-g | rick_h: from a pro? you have a lot of investments/etc? | 15:01 |
| rick_h | sec, I'll logout/back into unity | 15:01 |
| snap-l | it's not there anymore | 15:01 |
| snap-l | rick_h: Thanks | 15:01 |
| rick_h | greg-g: yea, wife has some, and the business, and just we're in a killer bracket so trying to help make sure we get everything we can | 15:01 |
| greg-g | I don't have much other than IRAs and a scottrade account I barely worry about | 15:01 |
| greg-g | the business? wife in private practice? | 15:02 |
| rick_h | no, I've got a business I started a while back when I was doing web hosting and site designs for some local places | 15:02 |
| rick_h | snap-l: doh you're right...wtf | 15:03 |
| rick_h | I know it was there | 15:03 |
| snap-l | Yeah, it was there | 15:03 |
| snap-l | Now I have gigantic fischer-price icons | 15:03 |
| greg-g | rick_h: ahhhh, I didn't think she was private practice. | 15:03 |
| rick_h | snap-l: oh it's moved to the first page of appearance | 15:03 |
| rick_h | not on the second tab, at the bottom under "theme" | 15:04 |
| greg-g | rick_h: so, still using that business as a tax shelter? ;) | 15:04 |
| rick_h | greg-g: meh not so much, thus wanting to forget tax season... | 15:04 |
| greg-g | :) | 15:04 |
| jrwren | good morning. | 15:04 |
| rick_h | greg-g: but keeping it valid because at some point I'll use that if I can get bookie/bmark.us into a pay/donate state | 15:04 |
| jrwren | ha, are you doing taxes today too? | 15:05 |
| rick_h | 351851 | 15:05 |
| jrwren | lol | 15:05 |
| rick_h | dammit | 15:05 |
| greg-g | I remember aaron t. talking about how he had one that always lost money (on purpose) and is "who bought his computers" each year :/ | 15:05 |
| snap-l | jrwren: I did my taxes, just getting them ready for mailing | 15:05 |
| greg-g | rick_h: ah, rock | 15:05 |
| jrwren | i'm sitting down to do them. | 15:05 |
| rick_h | greg-g: yea, I did use it for that when I was 'active' | 15:05 |
| greg-g | right | 15:05 |
| jrwren | i'd wait another week, but its kids birthday then :p | 15:05 |
| snap-l | rick_h: It's not in Beta2. | 15:06 |
| greg-g | jrwren: heh, I did mine 2 or 3 weeks ago... I have a refund coming :) | 15:06 |
| snap-l | Hmm... I think I need to downloa a new iso | 15:06 |
| rick_h | snap-l: I just installed beta2 and updated yesterday | 15:06 |
| greg-g | jrwren: not that me getting the money much earlier matters given interest rates the way they are | 15:06 |
| rick_h | snap-l: under background/theme in the launcher icon size | 15:06 |
| snap-l | rick_h: ah, I haven't updated. | 15:06 |
| rick_h | how the @#$#@ do people work like this arrrg | 15:07 |
| greg-g | haha | 15:07 |
| jrwren | greg-g: i owe at least 20k, so delay for me is fun :) | 15:07 |
| greg-g | rick spencer said it was great in his AMA :) | 15:07 |
| greg-g | jrwren: wow | 15:07 |
| jrwren | 1099 and I didn't prepay. | 15:07 |
| * greg-g is in a different place in life ;) | 15:07 | |
| greg-g | ahhhhhhhh | 15:07 |
| greg-g | right | 15:07 |
| rick_h | geeze, and they wanted me to schedule quarterly payments for my $4k :/ | 15:08 |
| rick_h | I don't feel so bad now | 15:08 |
| jrwren | rick_h: I'll pay big penalty | 15:08 |
| rick_h | jrwren: ah | 15:08 |
| snap-l | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9058804/Screenshot-pang%20%5BRunning%5D%20-%20Oracle%20VM%20VirtualBox.png | 15:08 |
| rick_h | wtf, can't gnome-terminal open urls? | 15:09 |
| snap-l | jrwren: 20k for a year?Damn | 15:09 |
| snap-l | rick_h: Right click on the URL | 15:09 |
| rick_h | ah, ok | 15:09 |
| rick_h | tried middle click, alt-click, shift-click | 15:09 |
| greg-g | haha | 15:09 |
| greg-g | rick_h is not liking the change | 15:09 |
| rick_h | the mouse hovers over it and underlines the link...you'd think a normal click would just work | 15:09 |
| rick_h | stupid tools :P | 15:10 |
| rick_h | snap-l: yea, I've got another row | 15:10 |
| rick_h | I don't get why you'd have to download another iso | 15:10 |
| rick_h | just apt-get upgrade :P | 15:10 |
| rick_h | ok, done here...back to my system | 15:10 |
| snap-l | rick_h: I will, once JoDee stops watching Dance Moms | 15:11 |
| snap-l | which is like nails on a chalkboard for me. | 15:11 |
| rick_h | dance moms? | 15:11 |
| greg-g | ugh, valic is slow as <insert lewd body part here> today | 15:11 |
| rick_h | this sounds like another perverted reality show I'll have to make fun of her for watching later on | 15:11 |
| rick_h | valic? | 15:11 |
| greg-g | yeah, AIG, those guys. the place my employer does matched IRA contributions | 15:11 |
| rick_h | ah | 15:12 |
| greg-g | I hate them | 15:12 |
| rick_h | nice to get match | 15:12 |
| greg-g | hated my "financial advisor" who did nothing other than try to sell me life insurance | 15:12 |
| rick_h | ugh | 15:13 |
| * rick_h is in process of getting life insurance signed up though so guess I can't say much | 15:13 | |
| rick_h | being a grown up sucks :) | 15:13 |
| greg-g | "but, do you really want your wife to WORK if you die? I mean, wouldn't you want to know that you are enabling them to live a life without worry if you die? Even though you'll never see it" | 15:13 |
| rick_h | oh good grief | 15:13 |
| greg-g | I'm paraphrasing, of course | 15:13 |
| snap-l | I want my wife to be a coal miner when I die. | 15:13 |
| snap-l | (note: no, not really) | 15:14 |
| greg-g | but, I already have some life insurance from work, which would more than cover funeral+a year of living for Carrie/Rowan | 15:14 |
| rick_h | yea, our conversation is more "so how many bills do you pay right now? How can I get rid of those if you get hit by a bus" | 15:14 |
| * greg-g nods | 15:14 | |
| rick_h | dr student loans are the suck | 15:14 |
| greg-g | we don't have many on going expenses other than rent/car ins/utilities | 15:14 |
| greg-g | rick_h: totally | 15:14 |
| snap-l | rick_h: s/dr//g | 15:16 |
| rick_h | yea, that's true as well | 15:16 |
| rick_h | but 8 years of school tends to make them bigger on her side | 15:17 |
| snap-l | Oh, no doubt | 15:17 |
| jrwren | snap-l: 20k to pay in taxes. | 15:17 |
| jrwren | snap-l: most people pay near that. figure 33% on 60k salary - that is 20k. | 15:17 |
| snap-l | jrwren: Do you not have any witholding? | 15:17 |
| greg-g | 1099s | 15:18 |
| greg-g | he's an indie | 15:18 |
| snap-l | Ah, OK | 15:18 |
| snap-l | Yeah, that's how you run up a tax bill | 15:18 |
| jrwren | snap-l: none withheld, that is what I was trying to say. | 15:18 |
| greg-g | Gawd, how does Scottrade stay in business, their interface sucks. It takes me about 5 clicks to get to my statements tab | 15:19 |
| jrwren | :( | 15:19 |
| jrwren | i wonder teh same about etrade, just based on their quote service. it doesn't show me dividends. | 15:20 |
| jrwren | i'm a dividend investor. i don't think i'm the only one. | 15:20 |
| greg-g | yeah, they all suck | 15:21 |
| greg-g | brb, rowan crying | 15:21 |
| jrwren | i wonder if they do it on purpose to confuse the layman. | 15:21 |
| greg-g | I wouldn't put it past them | 15:23 |
| jrwren | zomg, any idiot that thinks iwndows is easier to use than linux is fucking nuts. | 15:23 |
| jrwren | i'm just trying to install a printer driver. dell makes this impossible. | 15:23 |
| * llua eats his nuts | 15:24 | |
| jrwren | what kind of nuts? | 15:24 |
| llua | winuts. | 15:24 |
| jrwren | that said, this particular printer has zero linux support. but that is dells fault again. | 15:24 |
| jrwren | wtf are winuts? | 15:24 |
| brousch | rick_h: when my kid moved to big boy bed we put a couch cushion on the floor in case he fell. he ended up preferring to sleep on the cushion or under the bed | 16:14 |
| jrwren | wierd... i find myself, for the first time every saying yes to the $3 to presidential campain on my form 1040. | 16:14 |
| * mydogsnameisrudy thinks jrwren lost his mind | 16:17 | |
| brousch | mydogsnameisrudy: we all know that. now we're trying to figure out just how lost it is | 16:17 |
| mydogsnameisrudy | paying to many taxes and he went nuts | 16:18 |
| mydogsnameisrudy | only one way to fix the goverment, remove them all and start over | 16:19 |
| jrwren | mydogsnameisrudy: sweet! want to help hutari do just that? ;p | 17:00 |
| * mydogsnameisrudy gets in a boat sails to a new land | 17:01 | |
| jrwren | lol | 17:03 |
| mydogsnameisrudy | seems its spelled hutaree | 17:05 |
| mydogsnameisrudy | you have freedom of speach . just dont say it outloud | 17:07 |
| snap-l | http://openmetalcast.com/2012/04/07/the-best-problems-to-have-link-updates-and-a-heart-felt-thank-you/ | 17:22 |
| greg-g | snap-l: do I need to update my podcast feed for OMC? | 17:58 |
| rick_h | http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CQLFSrfVT8s | 18:05 |
| rick_h | I bet that would help a ton with the unity folks | 18:05 |
| snap-l | greg-g: Nope, it should work without any difficulty on your part | 18:24 |
| greg-g | snap-l: rock. | 18:36 |
| Blazeix | rick_h: wow, nice | 18:50 |
| rick_h | jcastro: what's the status of fitbit + linux these days?> | 20:37 |
| rick_h | ok, starting to dig google music. Spent the last couple of days uploading my old music stuff | 21:01 |
| brousch | rick_h: i <3 google music | 21:38 |
| brousch | snap-l: the star wars thing was a frickin zoo | 21:50 |
| brousch | probably 300 people | 21:50 |
| rick_h | ouch | 21:50 |
| _stink_ | rick_h: hah, good luck! let me know how it goes | 21:50 |
| _stink_ | we're getting close to doing that here | 21:50 |
| brousch | but they had some really good costumes | 21:50 |
| brousch | vader was like 7ft tall and had a voice-altering thing | 21:51 |
| snap-l | brousch: WEll, pardon me for underestimating GR crowds | 23:58 |
| snap-l | I didn't think Star Wars had played on the theaters over there yet. ;) | 23:59 |
