[12:11] <head_victim> Meeting tomorrow night, nearly forgot :/
[12:23] <ikt> :\
[12:23] <ikt> :D
[12:24] <head_victim> The :/ was for nearly forgetting
[12:24] <head_victim> I just sent out the reminders to FB, identica, twitter and should send one to the ML as well
[12:25] <head_victim> I 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.
[12:31] <sagaci> yep
[12:33] <head_victim> I'm more than happy to help out, but I just seriously don't have enough time to be a sole organiser.
[12:34] <ikt> that's my situation
[12:35] <ikt> I want to get some 12.04 cd's, but I want to have a finished product before doing so
[12:35] <ikt> so I can have something to show
[12:35] <ikt> I have pretty much everything ready, just need to print it out
[12:35] <head_victim> It will take a few days to go down, just sing out when you want them and how many.
[12:36] <head_victim> It'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.
[12:37] <head_victim> I 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.
[12:38] <ikt> kk
[12:38] <ikt> did you say you got a new laptop the other week/month?
[12:39] <ikt> I've got a HP somethingsomething with an AMD APU
[12:39] <ikt> I thought APU's were going to be brilliant but the performance on this thing :/
[12:39] <ikt> sitting at nearly 20% cpu usage on both core's idling with system monitor open on ubuntu 2d
[12:40] <head_victim> I got a work laptop
[12:41] <head_victim> I was trying to make it boot from the SD card but no luck
[12:41] <head_victim> Dell 5420, i7 with 4gb ram, etc.
[12:42] <head_victim> More importantly, it fits the old model's docks so we have double of them everywhere so I brought one home.
[12:43] <head_victim> It will do nicely for my uni work.
[12:43] <ikt> nice!
[12:44] <head_victim> The biggest downside is the windows XP.
[12:44] <ikt> i was hoping to replace my 250w pc with this like 10w laptop
[12:44] <ikt> but performance is to slow :/
[12:44] <ikt> I have gotten used to windows xp
[12:44] <ikt> since like every 2nd customer that calls has it
[12:45] <head_victim> But fortunately, the bios is completely open so I can boot from USB fine.
[12:45] <head_victim> The 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] <ikt> how is the performance of SD compared to HDD?
[12:46] <head_victim> No idea, can't boot off it :)
[12:47] <head_victim> Trying 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] <ikt> hrmm
[12:50] <head_victim> Persistent liveusbs still have very little space to install stuff to though
[13:00] <ikt> yeah
[13:00] <ikt> that's the problem I had
[13:00] <ikt> that and it was kinda slow 
[13:00] <ikt> :/
[13:00] <ikt> can't win
[13:09] <head_victim> I 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 laptop
[13:10] <head_victim> Also, they block ubuntu one :/
[13:13] <ikt> -_
[13:13] <ikt> serious?
[13:13] <head_victim> Yeah, the also block all the social sites, etc.
[13:14] <head_victim> Public fileshares are just as bad for leaking information I guess.
[13:15] <head_victim> And 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.
[13:16] <head_victim> So 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_victim> How is that a solution to anything?
[13:25] <ikt> -_-
[13:26] <ikt> I duno why they're so concerned about stuff leaking
[13:26] <ikt> it's not like it doesn't
[13:26] <ikt> all...the...time
[13:26] <head_victim> We're a security firm owned by a technology corporation.
[13:27] <ikt> ouch
[13:28] <ikt> did you see the linked in password leak the other day?
[13:28] <ikt> and lastfm as well
[13:28] <head_victim> Yeah, linkedin is blocked in our work network.
[13:32] <ikt> I don't understand how all these massive social sites
[13:32] <ikt> with massive user/password databases don't have security as the best of the best
[13:33] <ikt> they're making millions a year
[13:33] <ikt> surely security should get some of it
[15:52] <ikt> oh my zeus I think I've finally setup twiki -_-
[22:49] <vadi21> Does anyone know if how digital TV usb receiver support is in Ubuntu?
[22:50] <benonsoftware> vadi21: I'm not that sure, try checking out MythTV
[22:52] <vadi21> Oh
[22:52] <vadi21> So MythTV is *for* this kind of task?
[22:52] <vadi21> I never knew what it actually did
[23:42] <head_victim> I have never used mythtv, far too over the top for just tv viewing.
[23:43] <benonsoftware> Yeah, I';ve never used MythTV but from what I've read it's okay
[23:44] <benonsoftware> I *should* be able to attend the meeting tonight
[23:44] <head_victim> It'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] <benonsoftware> Ah, okay
