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