[12:42] <JonathanD> Monring (again)
[13:09] <teddy-dbear> hi
[13:11] <JonathanD> This blackberry is broken. It can no longer scroll the right.
[13:11] <JonathanD> The guy doesn't want it replaced because he "likes this one"
[13:12] <JonathanD> hi teddy-dbear
[13:13] <teddy-dbear> o/
[13:25] <waltman> JonathanD: did you ever get that macbook working yesterday?
[13:35] <JonathanD> waltman: waiting for media.
[13:35] <JonathanD> I should go check if he brought it.
[13:35] <JonathanD> waltman: the disk I found was useless.
[13:37] <waltman> bummer
[13:37] <JonathanD> WE're gonna run to microcenter to get a hdd today.
[13:39] <waltman> yay
[13:43] <JonathanD> the guy here couldn't find his.
[13:52] <JonathanD> waltman: do you have an OSX dvd?
[17:57] <ChinnoDog> hi sss
[17:57] <ChinnoDog> err
[17:57] <ChinnoDog> hi ssweeny
[18:01] <ChinnoDog> @seen ssweeny
[18:01] <ChinnoDog> :-(
[18:06] <ssweeny> hi ChinnoDog
[18:15] <ChinnoDog> ssweeny: What are/will you do in DC?
[18:17] <ssweeny> ChinnoDog, actually i'll be closer to annapolis, but i'll be visiting my sister
[18:21] <ChinnoDog> ssweeny: aww. That is an hour away from here on the other side of DC from me.
[18:22] <ssweeny> ChinnoDog, that is... less than optimal
[18:24] <Resistance> ChinnoDog:  fail tabcomplete?
[18:24] <Resistance> :P
[18:24] <ChinnoDog> ssweeny: but... zombie games?
[18:24] <ChinnoDog> Resistance: yea, that is what happened all right
[18:26] <Resistance> note to self: when you can drink an entire cup of coffee without realizing you just gulped it down, that's a sign you're too used to coffee, and need something with more bitterness and kick
[18:29] <ssweeny> ChinnoDog, another time i guess
[18:43] <MutantTurkey> booreddddd
[18:43]  * Resistance hands MutantTurkey a ball of goo to play with
[18:43] <MutantTurkey> please
[18:43] <MutantTurkey> do somethin
[18:44] <waltman> JonathanD: Not anywhere handy. And probably not for anything later than Tiger.
[18:53] <JonathanD> waltman: ok.
[18:53] <JonathanD> This seems way more complicated than it should be :P
[18:54] <JonathanD> I assume we broke the laws of physics, since macs aren't supposed to have problems, and thats why it's so hard :D
[18:54] <waltman> yeah, that's probably it
[18:55] <JonathanD> waltman: http://osxdaily.com/2010/04/26/boot-keys-for-mac-os-x-system-start/ btw
[18:55] <waltman> I feel the need to point out again that if she'd just been doing regular time machine backups, which Apple makes DIRT EAST, you wouldn't be having these problems.
[18:55] <JonathanD> https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533 is a more in depth link.
[18:55] <waltman> also EASY
[18:55] <JonathanD> waltman: she says "what are backups" :D
[18:56] <JonathanD> she still doesn't understand I can't get her music off the old disk.
[18:56] <Resistance> JonathanD:  she doesnt know what a backup is???
[18:56] <JonathanD> no.
[18:56] <Resistance> O.O
[18:56] <JonathanD> she doesn't know what a disk is.
[18:56] <JonathanD> actually.
[18:56] <Resistance> holy god...
[18:56] <JonathanD> she assumed I meant a cd.
[18:56] <Resistance> lol
[18:56] <waltman> where's HER install DVD?
[18:56] <JonathanD> waltman: hah.
[18:56] <JonathanD> somewhere.
[18:56] <Resistance> what did she do, did she nuke her computer or something?
[18:57] <waltman> same place mine is!
[18:57] <JonathanD> she got this from her ex, or something.
[18:57] <Resistance> so that's a yes then
[18:57] <Resistance> :P
[18:57] <JonathanD> so I guess he has it.
[18:57] <JonathanD> Resistance: the disk was clicking.
[18:57] <JonathanD> she says it has been since Christmas.
[18:57] <Resistance> ah
[18:57] <Resistance> hardware-failure signs
[18:57] <JonathanD> but that "sometimes it worked ok"
[18:57] <JonathanD> so she kept using it.
[18:57] <Resistance> ...
[18:57] <waltman> starting with Leopard, literally all you have to do for backups is to plug in an external disk.
[18:57] <Resistance> how idiotic are people nowadays...
[18:57] <waltman> Resistance: Very.
[18:57] <Resistance> when people hear  clicking from their computer, most assume that its a bad thing
[18:57] <JonathanD> her sister works here, and we just went over to microcenter.
[18:58] <JonathanD> we bought her a usb drive, waltman
[18:58] <JonathanD> today.
[18:58] <waltman> hah
[18:58] <JonathanD> waltman: is it like win 7 now, where you plug it in, and it says "would you like to backup to this thing?"
[18:58] <waltman> pretty much, yes.
[18:59] <waltman> and then it will keep doing backups every hour until you tell it not to.
[18:59] <JonathanD> the problem with that, waltman...
[18:59] <JonathanD> it assume people read.
[18:59] <JonathanD> people don't read.
[18:59] <JonathanD> A BOX popped up. I must need to close it.
[18:59] <waltman> I could also point out that for $29.99 you could do a fresh install of Lion on there. Maybe more since you'll need some real media.
[19:00] <JonathanD> it's $50 from microcenter.
[19:00] <JonathanD> We saw it there.
[19:00] <waltman> did they still have any snow leopard left?
[19:00] <JonathanD> Not sure.
[19:00] <JonathanD> I didn't look that long, honestly.
[19:00] <JonathanD> She's either gonna get it from her ex, or the other guy here at work will bring his.
[19:01] <JonathanD> I put the new HDD in though.
[19:01] <JonathanD> and fired up ubuntu to make sure it was detected.
[19:04] <waltman> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 # does anything here help you?
[19:05] <JonathanD> the internet recovery sounds interesting.
[19:06] <JonathanD> it doesn't actually say how to start it though?
[19:06] <ChinnoDog> ssweeny: Are you planning on going into DC at all?
[19:07] <MutantTurkey> often the coolest programs have terrible UX
[19:07] <MutantTurkey> general problem in liinux
[19:08] <ssweeny> ChinnoDog, not sure yet
[19:08] <ssweeny> ChinnoDog, but i doubt it
[19:09] <waltman> UX?
[19:09] <waltman> User Experience?
[19:09] <waltman> er, User eXperience?
[19:10] <MutantTurkey> user experience
[19:10] <MutantTurkey> I dunno
[19:10] <MutantTurkey> what else would yo call it?
[19:10] <MutantTurkey> XL (excel?)
[19:10] <JonathanD> also a silly name
[19:13] <ChinnoDog> ssweeny: in that case, your tweet was highly misleading. :-p
[19:13] <waltman> That's what I thought, but I'm not seeing the connection. I'd have thought that most of the time, having a great user experience would be a big part of making a program cool.
[19:13] <ssweeny> ChinnoDog, i will be in the greater DC area, which includes parts that are not in DC
[19:49] <ChinnoDog> My phone contract is up next month. What will I replace it with?
[19:49] <Resistance> the NoPhone service :P
[19:54] <ChinnoDog> HTC Evo 4G looks nice. They fixed the battery issue too.
[19:54] <ChinnoDog> Evo 4G LTE I mean
[19:54] <MutantTurkey> err
[19:55] <MutantTurkey> the nexus 4G is sweet
[19:55] <MutantTurkey> still got my crappy old Galaxy S
[19:55] <MutantTurkey> my mom had her phone stolen and decided to steal my upgrade for a replacement....
[20:01] <ChinnoDog> :-(
[20:01] <ChinnoDog> There will be a Motorola Photon 4G LTE in Q3 most likely. idk if I want to wait
[20:10] <JonathanD> waltman: maybe I should ask the mac group for one :p
[20:16] <waltman> for one what?
[20:17] <waltman> Sadly I didn't officially purchase any upgrades between Tiger and Lion.
[20:17] <waltman> Maybe you could suggest she replace her broken laptop with an iPad :)
[20:18] <JonathanD> hah
[20:18] <JonathanD> waltman: except it's now a working laptop with no OS installed :p
[20:18] <JonathanD> it runs ubuntu just fine.
[20:19] <waltman> Maybe she won't notice!
[20:19] <JonathanD> Right, I'll try that ;)
[20:19] <JonathanD> waltman: my laptop can read the scratched mac disk
[20:20] <JonathanD> or at least it doesn't choke on it.
[20:20] <JonathanD> There isn't a way to copy it to USB or something, is there?
[20:20] <JonathanD> I assume I can't reburn it, looks too big.
[20:21] <waltman> I think Macs can boot off a USB drive. I believe that's how they're distributing Lion on physical media.
[20:22] <JonathanD> But I would need a larger one tha any I think I have here.
[20:22] <waltman> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A # here you go. $29. free shipping.
[20:22] <waltman> put it on $boss's credit card.
[20:22] <JonathanD> waltman: maybe I could make an iso and unetbootin it :p
[20:23] <waltman> Or maybe you could just pay $29 and get another disk :)
[20:23] <JonathanD> Wheres the challenge in that?
[20:28] <jedijf> i say ubu it
[20:28] <MutantTurkey> RAWWHHHH
[20:28] <jedijf> looks mac'y /enough/
[20:28] <JonathanD> maybe I can boot it from my android tablet.
[20:28] <JonathanD> that sounds like a plan, yes?
[20:28] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: galaxy is only crappy because you refuse to mod it
[20:29] <MutantTurkey> okay i'll do iot
[20:29] <MutantTurkey> today
[20:29] <jedijf> i used serendipity, and <3'd it
[20:29] <MutantTurkey> ok thanks
[20:30] <jedijf> this is in no means an endorsement of violating any preexisting agreements and irc'er is to be held free from any damages or charges that may occur during said 'modding' of device
[20:31] <jedijf> :)
[20:31] <MutantTurkey> i can just reset it anyway no?
[20:31] <MutantTurkey> i don't really care - honestly if my phone broke it would be great.
[20:31] <jedijf> the process i use makes a backup of existing in case you have to reflash
[20:32] <MutantTurkey> welp their links don't work on their webasite
[20:32] <jedijf> actually allows you to use which firmware to boot at hard reset
[20:33] <jedijf> http://serendipityi777.weebly.com/download.html
[20:34] <MutantTurkey> yeah
[20:34] <MutantTurkey> those links are boreke
[20:34] <MutantTurkey> ok i got the zip
[20:35] <MutantTurkey> wait whats this?
[20:35] <MutantTurkey>  http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/download.html
[20:35] <jedijf> i think that's 6.4 the one i used
[20:35] <MutantTurkey> that's 8
[20:35] <jedijf> they're up to 8 now it seems
[20:36] <MutantTurkey> but why different websites?
[20:36] <MutantTurkey> weird
[21:01] <MutantTurkey> jedijf: i suck at this
[21:01] <jedijf> just take your time
[21:01] <jedijf> it's simple
[21:01] <MutantTurkey> pffft
[21:01] <jedijf> read it first
[21:02] <jedijf> all the way thru, get a feel for what you're going to do...then do it, step by step
[21:02] <MutantTurkey> i have no idea where I am supposed to reat
[21:02] <MutantTurkey> read
[21:02] <jedijf> the download page
[21:02] <MutantTurkey> these websites are largely crappy, or based on forums, downloading random zip files from untrusted internet sources with little to no documentation.
[21:02] <jedijf> instructions
[21:02] <MutantTurkey> it's a job.
[21:02] <jedijf> lazy
[21:02] <MutantTurkey> links doen't even work...
[21:29] <JonathanD> Lets have a canoeing geeknic
[21:49] <MutantTurkey> ffuuuu
[21:58] <MobileTurkey> jedijf: i suck at this. i've been reading and trying and it's not at all clear
[22:03] <biobunsai> Hello All:)

[22:42] <rmg51> biobunsai: nothing going on here
