[02:44] <cyphase> anyone going to UDS since it's so close?
[02:45] <DonkeyHotei> everyone?
[02:45] <DonkeyHotei> i registered
[02:45] <DonkeyHotei> i think everyone did
[02:46] <philipballew> Ill be there
[02:46] <philipballew> are you going cyphase
[02:46] <cyphase> i just found out it was in oakland today
[02:46] <cyphase> i might go for a few days
[02:47] <cyphase> i'm not involved in ubuntu development, so i'm not sure how much would be particularly interesting
[02:47] <cyphase> there's always the parties though :)
[02:48] <philipballew> cyphase, yeah, they announced that last December,  you should go
[02:51] <philipballew> cyphase, there is free lunch and breakfast
[02:51] <cyphase> SOLD!
[02:51] <cyphase> ;)
[02:52] <akk> Free lunch, really? Cool!
[02:52]  * akk probably won't make it there in time for breakfast
[02:55] <cyphase> and attendance is also free, right? just to be sure
[02:56] <DonkeyHotei> seems that way
[02:56] <akk> yes
[02:57] <philipballew> yeah, I need to look into where is good to eat around there?
[02:58] <DonkeyHotei> everywhere
[02:58] <philipballew> I plan to ride my bike to Berkeley
[03:02] <philipballew> they still have not told me who my roomate is. I wonder if I have one
[03:02] <DonkeyHotei> you don't pick your own?
[03:04] <philipballew> no, they might have given me that option, but they have not told me who mine is yet. I wonder if I just find out then when they walk in the room
[03:06] <philipballew> I kinda of like the random idea of meeting someone new
[03:43] <Darkwing> I'm flying in on the sunday before :)
[03:43] <Darkwing> philipballew: You meet really cool people that way.
[03:44] <pleia2> the breakfast is usually provided by the hotel itself and you have to be staying there
[03:45] <pleia2> in orlando you had to show your room key
[03:45] <pleia2> (I guess you can sneak in, but I wouldn't go around telling everyone there is free breakfast)
[03:47] <pleia2> lunch is free though :) and there tend to be heavy appetizers on mon, tues and friday at the sponsored events
[03:48] <pleia2> and lots of snacks and soft drinks throughout the day
[03:48] <pleia2> too much food really
[04:13] <Darkwing> Yeah, for a bunch of people sitting, there is TONS of food.
[04:14] <pleia2> "yes, this is your after lunch snack break"
[04:14] <pleia2> :)
[04:15] <pleia2> though I have to say, the ice cream cart was genius
[04:20] <philipballew> pleia2, If someone cant get in, ill take food to them
[04:47] <gua> desktops vs laptops
[04:47] <gua> all the cool kids use laptops right?
[04:54] <pleia2> well, as a data point, I am not cool and my primary machine is still a desktop
[04:58] <gua> hmm
[05:00] <bkerensa> =o
[05:02] <gua> i want a laptop but the price vs performance is so crazy different
[05:02] <Darkwing> hehehe. I have my laptop but, I'm going to re-build my desktop for home use.
[05:02] <gua> i'm just used to taking what i'm working on wherever
[05:02] <gua> Darkwing: which would be your primary?
[05:03] <philipballew> building desktops is fun
[05:03] <Darkwing> Yes and no...
[05:03] <Darkwing> I'm on the go a LOT.
[05:03] <Darkwing> So, it would be a 50/50 mix.
[05:03] <Darkwing> My desktop would be a heave video/audio production machine.
[05:03] <Darkwing> And prolly my build/package farm.
[05:04] <Darkwing> quassel-core would live there too.
[05:04] <philipballew> can you just set it up to ssh/vnc into from the laptop?
[05:05] <Darkwing> Yup, if needed.
[05:05] <gua> i do kind of have a server type thing. inexpensive quad xeon thing, but like 34xx series
[05:06] <Darkwing> But, the only thing I would use the DE for is my audio/video work.
[05:06] <gua> though i'm always moving my laptop
[05:06] <gua> Darkwing: so you'd be on your laptop most of the time right?
[05:06] <Darkwing> Aye.
[05:06] <Darkwing> That and my tablet.
[05:07] <gua> laptops!
[05:07] <gua> everybody laptops. except pleia2 who transcends cool.
[05:07] <Darkwing> Laptops are awesome but there are things that the laptops just wont do.
[05:08] <gua> ehh
[05:08] <Darkwing> hehehe... Yeah, pleia2 is so far past cool... I dream about being her when I grow up :P:P
[05:08] <gua> portability is a big plus
[05:08] <Darkwing> Yes, but there is something to be said for the power of the desktop.
[05:08] <Darkwing> Plus, multible monitors.
[05:09] <gua> you can totally drive multiple monitors from newerish laptops
[05:09] <gua> but yeah power ;/
[05:09]  * gua shakes fish
[05:09]  * gua and fist
[05:09] <Darkwing> My next laptop will be an ultra-book.
[05:09] <gua> yeahh
[05:10] <Darkwing> I have what you could call a 1st gen ultra-book... or a pre-ultra-book lol
[05:10] <Darkwing> Dell Vostro V13.
[05:10] <gua> there's that big ultrabook push starting soon. like my upgrade path atm i think will be  new laptop -> upgrade desktop -> ultrabook
[05:10] <philipballew> linus uses the mac book air iirc
[05:10] <gua> i have an ibook 12", not exactly ultrabook but i got it for the portable use case
[05:10] <Darkwing> ewwwww... macbook air
[05:10] <gua> i was at a best buy earlier tonight and dang, i would not turn down a free air
[05:10] <philipballew> I have a ppc mac laptop
[05:11] <gua> so thin, and light
[05:11] <gua> philipballew: yeah ibook g4. still my primary 'small mobile'
[05:11] <philipballew> mines 128 mb of ram
[05:11] <philipballew> if anyone has any extra ram ltin around i could bring it back to life
[05:12] <gua> ah wow, i maxed out the ram of the ibook back in 04. solid 1.25 GB
[05:12] <philipballew> this maxes out at 6 hundred something
[05:14] <gua> hmm out of pure luck you might find someone on craigslist, or some 3rd apple repair shop with a pile of old ram
[05:14] <philipballew> i went to a apple repair store last year in berkely. wanted 50 bucks...
[05:15] <philipballew> not gonna happen
[05:15] <gua> ahh
[05:15] <gua> yeah apple ram ;/
[05:20] <Darkwing> I got this for 250 bucks on ebay. I have the Core2 duo version and I spent a few extra for 4GB RAM. http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/vostro-v13/pd
[05:33] <gua> Darkwing: what do you think of those flatish keys?
[05:33] <gua> since i guess all laptops are going island/chiclet style keyboards now
[08:49] <philipballew> Any chance of going to bed is lost when the dorm's fire alarms malfunction and go off for 45 minutes straight...
[08:50] <gua> no sleep allowed, for your safety
[08:51] <philipballew> its finals tomorrow. my guess gua is they want us up and studying
[08:51] <gua> haha
[08:52] <gua> soothing fire alarm sounds, to help you into deep studying relaxation
[08:52] <philipballew> pretty much. It really helps me type this paper
[08:54] <gua> you can integrate the experience for later readers. "Legend: "<!>" indicates when the alarm blared""
[08:55] <gua> speaking of not sleeping, i gotta do that in bed for a while. nite all
[08:56] <philipballew> I herd more four letter words I cant say on irc this past hour as the alarmed blaired then ive herd all semester
[08:56] <philipballew> waking people up will do that
[16:06] <kdub> i still havent gotten used to configuring grub2
[17:21] <kdub> did 12.04 switch back to rhythmbox for default music?
[17:52] <greg-g> kdub: believe so, yeah
[20:12] <philipballew> bkerensa, good job with the release party!
[20:13] <bkerensa> thanks
[20:15] <philipballew> your welcome!
[20:26] <bkerensa> philipballew: We are hoping for 100 attendees in the next cycle or two
[20:26] <bkerensa> :D
[20:37] <philipballew> some random dude from school just sat down next to me in the caf and asked me about ubuntu. he's gonna install it in a vm tonight
