head_victimMeeting tomorrow night, nearly forgot :/12:11
ikt:\12:23
ikt:D12:23
head_victimThe :/ was for nearly forgetting12:24
head_victimI just sent out the reminders to FB, identica, twitter and should send one to the ML as well12:24
head_victimI added an agenda item, a lot of people seem interested in the open days but not a lot of people seem interested in helping run one.12:25
sagaciyep12:31
head_victimI'm more than happy to help out, but I just seriously don't have enough time to be a sole organiser.12:33
iktthat's my situation12:34
iktI want to get some 12.04 cd's, but I want to have a finished product before doing so12:35
iktso I can have something to show12:35
iktI have pretty much everything ready, just need to print it out12:35
head_victimIt will take a few days to go down, just sing out when you want them and how many.12:35
head_victimIt's cheaper to send 2x 5 packs than 1 x 10 though, odd.12:36
head_victim$6.60 for 10, $1.80 for 5. Go figure.12:36
head_victimI sent jfer an email but he never responded. If anyone sees him poke his head in let him know to shoot me an email with his address and how many and they'll be sent.12:37
iktkk12:38
iktdid you say you got a new laptop the other week/month?12:38
iktI've got a HP somethingsomething with an AMD APU12:39
iktI thought APU's were going to be brilliant but the performance on this thing :/12:39
iktsitting at nearly 20% cpu usage on both core's idling with system monitor open on ubuntu 2d12:39
head_victimI got a work laptop12:40
head_victimI was trying to make it boot from the SD card but no luck12:41
head_victimDell 5420, i7 with 4gb ram, etc.12:41
head_victimMore importantly, it fits the old model's docks so we have double of them everywhere so I brought one home.12:42
head_victimIt will do nicely for my uni work.12:43
iktnice!12:43
head_victimThe biggest downside is the windows XP.12:44
ikti was hoping to replace my 250w pc with this like 10w laptop12:44
iktbut performance is to slow :/12:44
iktI have gotten used to windows xp12:44
iktsince like every 2nd customer that calls has it12:44
head_victimBut fortunately, the bios is completely open so I can boot from USB fine.12:45
head_victimThe SD card would be a better option because I could just leave it in there but apparently I can't make it work.12:45
ikthow is the performance of SD compared to HDD?12:45
head_victimNo idea, can't boot off it :)12:46
head_victimTrying to decide between a proper install to USB or just run the liveusb and partition space for a data drive on the same usb.12:47
ikthrmm12:47
head_victimPersistent liveusbs still have very little space to install stuff to though12:50
iktyeah13:00
iktthat's the problem I had13:00
iktthat and it was kinda slow 13:00
ikt:/13:00
iktcan't win13:00
head_victimI was tempted to have a crack at partitioning off some of the spare hdd space but thought that was going a little too far on a work laptop13:09
head_victimAlso, they block ubuntu one :/13:10
ikt-_13:13
iktserious?13:13
head_victimYeah, the also block all the social sites, etc.13:13
head_victimPublic fileshares are just as bad for leaking information I guess.13:14
head_victimAnd our IT department are full of awesome. We use a web based workflow solution for a bunch of stuff, but the emails it sends to let you know when things are waiting your approval go to your junk email.13:15
head_victimSo me, thinking that maybe everyone just put up with it logged a job to have the address whitelisted (it is a *.companytld.com address). Their response "right click the email and add as a safe sender". 13:16
head_victimHow is that a solution to anything?13:16
ikt-_-13:25
iktI duno why they're so concerned about stuff leaking13:26
iktit's not like it doesn't13:26
iktall...the...time13:26
head_victimWe're a security firm owned by a technology corporation.13:26
iktouch13:27
iktdid you see the linked in password leak the other day?13:28
iktand lastfm as well13:28
head_victimYeah, linkedin is blocked in our work network.13:28
iktI don't understand how all these massive social sites13:32
iktwith massive user/password databases don't have security as the best of the best13:32
iktthey're making millions a year13:33
iktsurely security should get some of it13:33
iktoh my zeus I think I've finally setup twiki -_-15:52
=== md_5|away is now known as md_5
vadi21Does anyone know if how digital TV usb receiver support is in Ubuntu?22:49
benonsoftwarevadi21: I'm not that sure, try checking out MythTV22:50
vadi21Oh22:52
vadi21So MythTV is *for* this kind of task?22:52
vadi21I never knew what it actually did22:52
head_victimI have never used mythtv, far too over the top for just tv viewing.23:42
benonsoftwareYeah, I';ve never used MythTV but from what I've read it's okay23:43
benonsoftwareI *should* be able to attend the meeting tonight23:44
head_victimIt's for dedicated media boxes. If you're wanting to watch tv on your normal desktop me-tv, kaffience, xine are all useable.23:44
benonsoftwareAh, okay23:44
