head_victimmmmm mailing list 10112:33
head_victimNice work, I'm pretty happy with my 12.04 setup now12:33
head_victimA couple little kinks but very much functional in under an hour of work.12:33
iktyeah definitely12:34
iktvery happy with the release12:34
iktwatching the avengers couldn't help but think about the UI's they were using were horrible12:34
iktthey look good in movies12:34
iktbut it was like touchscreen with conky12:35
ikttons of conky stats in boxes that they swipe all over the screen and adjust on the fly12:35
head_victimHah, that's one of the few kinks for me to iron out, need to install and config conky12:35
iktI'm having trouble with it12:39
iktconky looks great12:39
iktbut I hardly ever look at my desktop anymore it seems12:39
iktI just go between file manager, audacious/vlc, chrome and xchat/irssi12:39
head_victimI don't think it will be hard I just haven't copied my old config over yet12:39
head_victimYeah, I generally leave xchat on one scree with conky down the side of that permanently and use the other screen as my "do other stuff"12:39
iktah12:40
head_victimWell you got me inspired, conky is set up now13:17
head_victimI had a little tinkering with temperature locations but other than that, copy paste13:17

iktyou're in a few chat rooms13:45
iktrantandswear looks interesting13:46
head_victimYeah, that's the list I culled.13:46
iktgood idea on the double monitor though13:47
iktforgot you could have 2 monitors -_- and have conky/irc on one, other stuff on the other13:47
iktatm I'm typing this on an 11" laptop13:47
iktwith my desktop next to it13:47
sagacihead_victim: did I take long to setup 2 monitors13:49
sagaciit13:50
head_victimNope, just opened nvidia-settings13:50

ikthdmi*13:50
head_victimAh, hardware or driver issue?13:52
iktnot sure13:55
ikttried both ati and os drivers13:55

head_victimI'm currently playing around trying to see if I can get evolution to be a 1:1 offline backup for gmail for email, calendar and contacts.13:59
iktwhich software do you use for contacts/calendar?14:02
head_victimevolution can do it14:03
ikthow do you sync to it?14:14
iktlike if you wanted to have cal on your phone + in evo?14:14
head_victimGotta run for a bit, it's not too difficult but I can explain when I return14:21
iktkk14:25
head_victimStill running away but the principle of it for me is to have an offline backup of my important google stuff so if they lock me out, go broke, shut down services, etc, I can still get my data and life goes on.14:37
iktoh14:54
iktO14:54
iktI'm thinking more of a sync server14:55
iktrunning LDAP + AD + WebDav/Cal or something14:55
head_victimikt: it does that as well, you can use it instead of the web interface if you prefer. I'm only trying to use it for the backup purpose though16:15
