[01:11] <InHisName> jthan: your last question was too limited.  I was needing -->No, insufficient proof as of 2012, but in 2042, Now that was the year that proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt to the WHOLE planet.
[01:12] <peejTemp> is there a prefered way to clear up space in the /boot area of a linux install?
[01:13] <peejTemp> i can't upgrade kernel cause i ran out of space :/
[01:13] <peejTemp> shall i just start deleting unused images?
[01:17] <peejTemp> trying this out: http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/11/how-to-remove-unused-old-kernels-on.html
[01:18] <InHisName> I think that is what I did, peejTemp.   I had 3.0something and deleted 2.6.low numbers and left a few of the higher 2.6 numbered ones.
[01:18] <peejTemp> this method is gonna free up 1.2GB :D
[01:18] <InHisName> Then I upgraded. then fixed up the debris left behind.
[01:19] <InHisName> your /boot has 1.2 GIGS ???
[01:20] <InHisName> my /boot was only 256MB total.  95% was older stuff.
[01:21] <peejTemp> wait, no
[01:21] <peejTemp> it's only 256MB
[01:22] <peejTemp> that command is just freeing up that much disk space overall
[01:22] <peejTemp> :)
[01:25] <InHisName> jthan in his late 60's will say in 2062 that the disasters of '42 STILL didn't help the world fix global warming, cause in '47 the great siberian oil reserve went online, and the world   over-dosed on 99 cent gas ONE MORESTUPID TIME.   The 7,000 year reserve discovery, now 15 years later, are now declaring half gone with the other half gone in 5 more years.  The STUPIDo world STILL wants their 99 cent gas.  Ugggh.
[01:59] <IdleOne> 99 cent gas? where!?
[02:01] <IdleOne> First time I went to Philly gas was at 88 cents
[02:01] <IdleOne> when i left it was at 3.30+-
[02:07] <InHisName> IdleOne: In the 'story' the year is 2062 and jthan is reminiscing about the good ol' days back in '47.  When the great Siberian oil reserve went mainline into our veins.    Makes you so excited that you can barely wait for the year 2047 ?   Remember the HUGE natural disasters all over the world in  '42 that proved global warming for a certainty. Then in '47 was a mass forgetting of the global warming in a mad rush to 'mainli
[09:43] <rmg51> Morning
[12:14] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples
[13:15] <waltman> coffee++
[14:11] <SamuraiAlba> Good bacon to al!
[14:11] <SamuraiAlba> *ALL
[14:11] <SamuraiAlba> Where can I donate a couple P4 desktops?
[14:19] <JonathanD> what ram type?
[14:38] <SamuraiAlba> DDR
[15:26] <ChinnoDog> Dossy: How do I find my ranking in the Twitterverse? I want to know why random peeps follow me
[15:34] <ChinnoDog> tweet.grader.com gives me 64/100
[15:37] <ChinnoDog> pleia2 is 94/100
[15:39] <waltman> I'm 82
[16:29] <pleia2> 94? that seems a bit off
[16:30] <pleia2> (as in, way too high)
[16:37] <MutantTurkey> air conditioning is broken again at the office
[16:38] <MutantTurkey> waltman: I think UC is trying to force us out by shutting the air off every friday until 11:30
[16:38] <MutantTurkey> or maybe they just want us to come in late...
[17:21] <ChinnoDog> pleia2: But you are Internet famous.
[17:21] <pleia2> not /that/ internet famous
[17:30] <ChinnoDog> pleia2: All of the reasonably popular names rank 100 so I guess it is all relative...
[17:30] <ChinnoDog> It is not a good way to find out if you are near the top 10 but is a good way to measure relative obscurity
[17:30] <pleia2> isn't that what klout is for?
[17:31] <JonathanD> I'm 67 :(
[17:32] <ChinnoDog> idk pleia2. Hold on, signing up on klout.
[17:32] <JonathanD> I don't like klout
[17:33] <pleia2> they all are rather silly:)
[17:34] <ChinnoDog> My Klout score is 21
[17:34] <JonathanD> I don't have an actual twitter. I put in fosscons.
[17:36] <pleia2> oh good, I was wondering why I didn't have you on my twitters
[17:36] <pleia2> but I do have fossconne :)
[17:37] <JonathanD> I might have a twitter. I don't know.
[17:40] <ChinnoDog> You can pay soemone else to twitter for you
[17:41] <JonathanD> pleia2: apparently I have a twitter.
[17:41] <JonathanD> jonathand82
[17:42] <JonathanD> With 4 tweets :p
[17:42] <JonathanD> somehow that warrents a 30 out of 100 on tweetgrader.
[17:43] <ChinnoDog> You have a tweet grade of 30
[17:43] <ChinnoDog> yea that
[17:43] <pleia2> yeah see, that's silly :)
[17:43] <ChinnoDog> I think the tweet grader scale is not very linear
[17:43] <pleia2> maybe it's trying to make you feel good about yourself
[17:45] <JonathanD> pleia2: perhaps.
[17:46] <ChinnoDog> Don't burst JonathanD's bubble. He has a grade of 30.
[17:47] <pleia2> haha
[17:48] <JonathanD> arent there things to allow multiple people to tweet from an acocunt?
[17:48] <ChinnoDog> Malware
[17:48] <pleia2> yeah, it's called giving multiple people the password
[17:49] <pleia2> that too
[17:49] <JonathanD> pleia2: I thought there used to be a service that did it though :p
[17:49] <pleia2> there are things like posterous
[17:49] <pleia2> but you still need to give it access to an account
[17:50] <JonathanD> I suppose you would always have to.
[17:50] <JonathanD> we used to use something like that for fosscon I think.
[17:50] <JonathanD> So other people could tweet for it.
[17:50] <JonathanD> and it did both twitter and identica.
[17:50] <ChinnoDog> So you had a tool the delegated tweeting permission by tweeting on your behalf?
[17:51] <JonathanD> yes.
[17:51] <JonathanD> it had the password, users had their own passwords to access it.
[17:51] <ChinnoDog> You should set that up so we can tweet on your behalf
[17:51] <JonathanD> sounds like fun.
[17:54] <pleia2> yeah, like the dude I have IRC for me
[17:55] <JonathanD> I would save a lot of time if I just had someone irc for me.
[17:55] <JonathanD> I should look into that.
[18:07] <teddy-dbear> find someone to tweet for me ;-)
[18:14] <MutantTurkey> my laptop has an accelerometer on it.
[18:14] <MutantTurkey> tell me thats awesome or what.
[18:14] <JonathanD> My laptops have always had an accelerometer.
[18:14] <JonathanD> MutantTurkey: thinkpad?
[18:14] <MutantTurkey> yes
[18:14] <MutantTurkey> i never new!
[18:14] <MutantTurkey> knew'
[18:15] <MutantTurkey> JonathanD: it doesn't do like speed of forward motion does it?
[18:15] <MutantTurkey> like going x miles an hour?
[18:15] <JonathanD> no, it's pretty basic
[18:15] <JonathanD> it can determine tilt, though.
[18:15] <JonathanD> the windows app for it shows a little picture of the laptop, and the angle it's at.
[18:16] <MutantTurkey> there is one for linux as well
[18:16] <JonathanD> I don't think it does the picture though.
[18:17] <MutantTurkey> mine does.
[18:18] <JonathanD> hmmm
[18:18] <JonathanD> what app is it?
[18:18] <MutantTurkey> hdap_gl
[18:18] <MutantTurkey> hdaps-gl sorry
[18:18] <JonathanD> I'll try that when I get home.
[18:19] <JonathanD> thanks :D
[18:20] <ChinnoDog> Thinkpads have accelerometers?
[18:20] <JonathanD> Yeah.
[18:20] <JonathanD> shuts off the harddrive if it's falling.
[18:20] <JonathanD> to prevent damage
[18:22] <ChinnoDog> I wonder how far it has to fall for the heads to have time to park
[18:22] <MutantTurkey> its supposed to
[18:22] <MutantTurkey> its not setup by default on linux right?
[18:22] <JonathanD> MutantTurkey: right.
[18:22] <JonathanD> you have to dance around to get it to work.
[18:26] <MutantTurkey> yeah
[18:26] <MutantTurkey> JonathanD: maybe not that hard
[18:27] <MutantTurkey> actually not...
[18:27] <MutantTurkey> apparently
[18:30] <ChinnoDog> MutantTurkey: Did you drop the laptop to be sure it works?
[18:31] <JonathanD> the best test is throwing it out a window
[20:37] <ChinnoDog> My coworker wanted to know where the GUI was for MySQL, I loled.
[20:37] <pleia2> a lot of people use phpmyadmin
[20:38] <ChinnoDog> It wasn't clear if that is what he was aking for. He wanted something like SQL Server Management studio which is a development and coding IDE as well as management interface
[20:38] <ChinnoDog> I helped him set up phpmyadmin 5 minutes before he left
[20:42] <JonathanD> theres the workshop thing, too.
[20:42] <JonathanD> workbench, rather.
[20:42] <JonathanD> mysql workbench
[21:18] <ChinnoDog> Really, he had no idea what he wanted. He is an IT guy but for 10 minutes there he was an end user. He didn't want to develop anything. He was setting up Zen Cart
[22:26] <ChinnoDog> What is everyone doing this weekend?
[22:28] <TheLordOfTime> purging 50GB of cruft from my fileserver
[22:30] <ChinnoDog> That sounds... fun...
[22:32] <TheLordOfTime> its  not xD
[22:46] <jedijf> ChinnoDog: HOPE9 and HacDC is here too
[22:53] <ChinnoDog> jedijf: where is "here"?
[23:04] <jedijf> ChinnoDog: HOPE9 in nyc
[23:04] <jedijf> Hac is doing a 3d printing talk tomorrow i think
[23:04] <ChinnoDog> ic
[23:04] <jedijf> ChinnoDog: bolt up
[23:04] <ChinnoDog> can't. Gotta do school work and hang out with peeps in DC
[23:05] <ChinnoDog> My peeps need me
[23:05] <jedijf> crazy awesome so far
[23:06] <jedijf> day one
[23:06] <jedijf> day two it seems i'll be in workshops
[23:24] <MobileTurkey> JonathanD: that was a really easy setup to get the accelerometer working
[23:32] <JonathanD> nice
[23:35] <jedijf> MobileTurkey: lol, i was so glad when my iBook accel worked - the drop test was unplanned - like day 2 of owning it
[23:37] <MobileTurkey> i even ported an old kde3 app to trinity :-)
[23:37] <MobileTurkey> now we have a new applet, working witht the new sys interface
