| mokmeister | Just looking at OMGUbuntu there and thinking Ubuntu is really set to take off! | 19:12 |
|---|---|---|
| mokmeister | It has so much going for it these days it more than matches other commercial OSes, it's unreal really | 19:12 |
| mokmeister | Kudos to all those who work so hard making Ubuntu what it is. | 19:13 |
| mokmeister | It's great to be part of something special! | 19:13 |
| mokmeister | Makes me feel kinda good inside using this OS. | 19:14 |
| airurando | nice one mokmeister | 19:16 |
| mokmeister | Indeed! Only saying it like it is! :D How are you airurando? | 19:21 |
| airurando | good now mokemeister, and you? | 19:40 |
| zmoylan | each new version of windows seems a little worse and a little more restrictive. their loss is linuxs gain. ubuntu is the starting point for many looking at linux. | 19:41 |
| airurando | hi zmoylan | 20:03 |
| zmoylan | hi airurando, all well? | 20:04 |
| airurando | yip | 20:04 |
| airurando | and with you? | 20:04 |
| zmoylan | getting by. hip gradually getting better. mostly trying to walk as much as possible to build up lost muscle. down to one crutch. only symptom left is insomnia | 20:05 |
| airurando | to the first part good | 20:06 |
| airurando | to the second bad | 20:06 |
| mokmeister | yes, things are good, thanks for asking . | 20:06 |
| mokmeister | hi zmoylan | 20:06 |
| zmoylan | hi mokmeister | 20:06 |
| mokmeister | yeah, Windows 8 seems to be getting fairly mixed reviews | 20:06 |
| airurando | if you get more and more excercise I'd hope the insomnia might go away. | 20:06 |
| mokmeister | Glad it won't be bothering me! | 20:07 |
| mokmeister | exercise is key | 20:07 |
| zmoylan | when they're already dissing it on prime time sites like the bbc it cannot be good for ms. ms's loss is linuxs gain. | 20:07 |
| mokmeister | still hard to do if there's pain. Harder to sleep as well I'd imagine | 20:07 |
| mokmeister | BBC? I didn't see that | 20:07 |
| mokmeister | I read the Gartner guy's report on Win 8, what did he say again, "in a word, bad..." ow! | 20:08 |
| zmoylan | http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-18996377 | 20:10 |
| mokmeister | Even though he said that about the desktop experience rather than Windows 8 as a whole. He felt the experience was good on tablets etc. | 20:10 |
| mokmeister | Thanks for the link | 20:10 |
| zmoylan | the problem is that all the oses are obsessed with a one size fits all interface because of tablets. this is not a good thing imo. with ubuntu you can use unity or install xubuntu or lubuntu and use a traditional ui. linux=choice | 20:12 |
| mokmeister | I saw that on the register | 20:12 |
| mokmeister | true, the beauty of linux in general. Choice. | 20:13 |
| mokmeister | Use it the way you want, not the way you are told to use it | 20:13 |
| mokmeister | Speaking of the register and openness etc., came across some sad news on the Register today: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/26/andre_hedrick/ | 20:14 |
| mokmeister | Only for Andre we might not have had any choices in the hw we use. | 20:14 |
| zmoylan | and it'll run on anything from a raspberry pi to a beowulf cluster or ibm mainframe and everything in between. | 20:14 |
| zmoylan | saw that. one of the heros who's name will be remembered by so few. | 20:15 |
| mokmeister | indeed | 20:16 |
| mokmeister | Kids are looking for hot chocolate before bedtime, better go and attend to their needs! ;) | 20:17 |
| mokmeister | biab | 20:17 |
| zmoylan | we need something like the andre hedrick award for open hardware. nvidia need not apply, or should be given a booby prize | 20:17 |
| zmoylan | hot chocolate in summer. phew! :-) | 20:18 |
| mokmeister | Yes, indeed, they love their hot chocolate, all year round! | 20:43 |
| mokmeister | They weren't overly happy there were no marshmallows left! ;) | 20:44 |
| zmoylan | oh the hardships they must face! :-D | 20:44 |
| zmoylan | for me as a kid it was cocoa and slice of white turnover loaf bread to go with it on cold nights. | 20:46 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 20:51 |
| zmoylan | hi, all well? | 20:51 |
| czajkowski | yeah all good | 20:51 |
| zmoylan | sorted your irc problems? | 20:52 |
| czajkowski | nope | 20:52 |
| czajkowski | not harassing ubuntu sever folks | 20:52 |
| zmoylan | because tomorrow is sysadmin day? http://sysadminday.com/ | 21:03 |
| mokmeister | I like the idea of andre hedrick award, nice one! Twould be nice to see something like that happen. | 21:11 |
| mokmeister | I like to think those hardships my kids have to face, *every* day, are character building! | 21:12 |
| mokmeister | At least they'll be able to face the world, chin up, when there's no marshallows left! | 21:13 |
| mokmeister | With that said, it's time for me to hit the hay. G'nite all. | 21:13 |
| zmoylan | well as a parent you get to use those iconic lines that made us as kids think. my mothers great line was 'don't come running to me when you break a leg' :-) | 21:13 |
| zmoylan | cya | 21:13 |
| mokmeister | hehehe, indeed! | 21:13 |
| mokmeister | byeeeee! | 21:13 |
