[01:54] rick_h: I've used Banshee as an Amazon Downloader [01:54] seems to work OK [14:01] G'morning [14:27] * mydogsnameisrudy is thankful for a sunny day ... [14:42] party [14:43] _stink_: moving to a big boy bed...how many times you think he'll fall out in the next week? lol [14:53] rick_h: Nah, he'll be fine [14:53] * snap-l is filling out paper taxes [14:56] ugh trying to block out tax stuff [14:58] snap-l: I also did my the paper tax way, so old school feeling [14:58] WEll, I did it via Tax Act [14:58] can't do it competely off the grid [14:58] but I totally print my forms. [14:59] What the heck [14:59] Didn't 12.04 have a way to resize the launcher? [15:00] 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] yea, in the appearance controls [15:00] there'sa second tab which has the autohide behavior and size controls [15:00] It's not in the version I just installed. [15:00] greg-g: heh, should be...but I've had to have help the last several years [15:01] snap-l: should be, I just did this yesterday with my fresh install [15:01] Hmmm... [15:01] you go to settings, appearance, and the second tab I thought [15:01] Yeah, that's where I went [15:01] rick_h: from a pro? you have a lot of investments/etc? [15:01] sec, I'll logout/back into unity [15:01] it's not there anymore [15:01] rick_h: Thanks [15:01] 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] I don't have much other than IRAs and a scottrade account I barely worry about [15:02] the business? wife in private practice? [15:02] no, I've got a business I started a while back when I was doing web hosting and site designs for some local places [15:03] snap-l: doh you're right...wtf [15:03] I know it was there [15:03] Yeah, it was there [15:03] Now I have gigantic fischer-price icons [15:03] rick_h: ahhhh, I didn't think she was private practice. [15:03] snap-l: oh it's moved to the first page of appearance [15:04] not on the second tab, at the bottom under "theme" [15:04] rick_h: so, still using that business as a tax shelter? ;) [15:04] greg-g: meh not so much, thus wanting to forget tax season... [15:04] :) [15:04] good morning. [15:04] 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 [15:05] ha, are you doing taxes today too? [15:05] 351851 [15:05] lol [15:05] dammit [15:05] 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] jrwren: I did my taxes, just getting them ready for mailing [15:05] rick_h: ah, rock [15:05] i'm sitting down to do them. [15:05] greg-g: yea, I did use it for that when I was 'active' [15:05] right [15:05] i'd wait another week, but its kids birthday then :p [15:06] rick_h: It's not in Beta2. [15:06] jrwren: heh, I did mine 2 or 3 weeks ago... I have a refund coming :) [15:06] Hmm... I think I need to downloa a new iso [15:06] snap-l: I just installed beta2 and updated yesterday [15:06] jrwren: not that me getting the money much earlier matters given interest rates the way they are [15:06] snap-l: under background/theme in the launcher icon size [15:06] rick_h: ah, I haven't updated. [15:07] how the @#$#@ do people work like this arrrg [15:07] haha [15:07] greg-g: i owe at least 20k, so delay for me is fun :) [15:07] rick spencer said it was great in his AMA :) [15:07] jrwren: wow [15:07] 1099 and I didn't prepay. [15:07] * greg-g is in a different place in life ;) [15:07] ahhhhhhhh [15:07] right [15:08] geeze, and they wanted me to schedule quarterly payments for my $4k :/ [15:08] I don't feel so bad now [15:08] rick_h: I'll pay big penalty [15:08] jrwren: ah [15:08] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9058804/Screenshot-pang%20%5BRunning%5D%20-%20Oracle%20VM%20VirtualBox.png [15:09] wtf, can't gnome-terminal open urls? [15:09] jrwren: 20k for a year?Damn [15:09] rick_h: Right click on the URL [15:09] ah, ok [15:09] tried middle click, alt-click, shift-click [15:09] haha [15:09] rick_h is not liking the change [15:09] the mouse hovers over it and underlines the link...you'd think a normal click would just work [15:10] stupid tools :P [15:10] snap-l: yea, I've got another row [15:10] I don't get why you'd have to download another iso [15:10] just apt-get upgrade :P [15:10] ok, done here...back to my system [15:11] rick_h: I will, once JoDee stops watching Dance Moms [15:11] which is like nails on a chalkboard for me. [15:11] dance moms? [15:11] ugh, valic is slow as today [15:11] this sounds like another perverted reality show I'll have to make fun of her for watching later on [15:11] valic? [15:11] yeah, AIG, those guys. the place my employer does matched IRA contributions [15:12] ah [15:12] I hate them [15:12] nice to get match [15:12] hated my "financial advisor" who did nothing other than try to sell me life insurance [15:13] ugh [15:13] * rick_h is in process of getting life insurance signed up though so guess I can't say much [15:13] being a grown up sucks :) [15:13] "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] oh good grief [15:13] I'm paraphrasing, of course [15:13] I want my wife to be a coal miner when I die. [15:14] (note: no, not really) [15:14] but, I already have some life insurance from work, which would more than cover funeral+a year of living for Carrie/Rowan [15:14] 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] dr student loans are the suck [15:14] we don't have many on going expenses other than rent/car ins/utilities [15:14] rick_h: totally [15:16] rick_h: s/dr//g [15:16] yea, that's true as well [15:17] but 8 years of school tends to make them bigger on her side [15:17] Oh, no doubt [15:17] snap-l: 20k to pay in taxes. [15:17] snap-l: most people pay near that. figure 33% on 60k salary - that is 20k. [15:17] jrwren: Do you not have any witholding? [15:18] 1099s [15:18] he's an indie [15:18] Ah, OK [15:18] Yeah, that's how you run up a tax bill [15:18] snap-l: none withheld, that is what I was trying to say. [15:19] Gawd, how does Scottrade stay in business, their interface sucks. It takes me about 5 clicks to get to my statements tab [15:19] :( [15:20] i wonder teh same about etrade, just based on their quote service. it doesn't show me dividends. [15:20] i'm a dividend investor. i don't think i'm the only one. [15:21] yeah, they all suck [15:21] brb, rowan crying [15:21] i wonder if they do it on purpose to confuse the layman. [15:23] I wouldn't put it past them [15:23] zomg, any idiot that thinks iwndows is easier to use than linux is fucking nuts. [15:23] i'm just trying to install a printer driver. dell makes this impossible. [15:24] * llua eats his nuts [15:24] what kind of nuts? [15:24] winuts. [15:24] that said, this particular printer has zero linux support. but that is dells fault again. [15:24] wtf are winuts? [16:14] 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] wierd... i find myself, for the first time every saying yes to the $3 to presidential campain on my form 1040. [16:17] * mydogsnameisrudy thinks jrwren lost his mind [16:17] mydogsnameisrudy: we all know that. now we're trying to figure out just how lost it is [16:18] paying to many taxes and he went nuts [16:19] only one way to fix the goverment, remove them all and start over [17:00] mydogsnameisrudy: sweet! want to help hutari do just that? ;p [17:01] * mydogsnameisrudy gets in a boat sails to a new land [17:03] lol [17:05] seems its spelled hutaree [17:07] you have freedom of speach . just dont say it outloud [17:22] http://openmetalcast.com/2012/04/07/the-best-problems-to-have-link-updates-and-a-heart-felt-thank-you/ [17:58] snap-l: do I need to update my podcast feed for OMC? [18:05] http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CQLFSrfVT8s [18:05] I bet that would help a ton with the unity folks [18:24] greg-g: Nope, it should work without any difficulty on your part [18:36] snap-l: rock. [18:50] rick_h: wow, nice [20:37] jcastro: what's the status of fitbit + linux these days?> [21:01] ok, starting to dig google music. Spent the last couple of days uploading my old music stuff [21:38] rick_h: i <3 google music [21:50] snap-l: the star wars thing was a frickin zoo [21:50] probably 300 people [21:50] 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] but they had some really good costumes [21:51] vader was like 7ft tall and had a voice-altering thing [23:58] brousch: WEll, pardon me for underestimating GR crowds [23:59] I didn't think Star Wars had played on the theaters over there yet. ;)
