| wrst | xTEMPLARx: wb | 13:47 |
| xTEMPLARx | thank you mr. wrst | 13:48 |
| wrst | good weekend? | 13:50 |
| xTEMPLARx | decent enough! you? | 13:50 |
| wrst | doing well xTEMPLARx, rain , rain , rain! | 14:59 |
| xTEMPLARx | it was sprinkling on me on the way in this morning as well | 15:00 |
| * xTEMPLARx loves rain. | 15:00 | |
| wrst | i do too xTEMPLARx as long as i don't have to be in it :) | 15:18 |
| xTEMPLARx | being in it's not so bad, if you're dressed properly | 15:18 |
| xTEMPLARx | but I hear ya | 15:18 |
| xTEMPLARx | soaked socks/shoes are the worst part | 15:18 |
| wrst | yes but i'm not | 15:18 |
| wrst | yes | 15:18 |
| wrst | i can't stand that | 15:18 |
| wrst | disgusting feeling | 15:19 |
| xTEMPLARx | trust me, I know all about that. I wear chuck taylors 99.9% of the time. | 15:19 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: i'm looking for some hardware, somethign that will run ubuntu, support dual monitors and dirt cheap | 15:20 |
| wrst | new used doesn't really matter | 15:20 |
| * xTEMPLARx isn't gonna be of much use :( | 15:22 | |
| xTEMPLARx | I rarely have "spare" hardware. :( | 15:22 |
| wrst | oh well not looking for give away just something cheap | 15:23 |
| wrst | i would be willing to purchase :) | 15:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | I hear ya | 15:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | still | 15:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | price isn't the point with me | 15:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | lack of availability is | 15:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 15:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | If I had somethin' I'd offer it to ya | 15:23 |
| wrst | i'm tired of taking my laptop to church is the moral of this story | 15:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | haha | 15:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | i hear ya | 15:23 |
| wrst | i have been looking at some netbooks on ebay | 15:24 |
| wrst | or a hardware suggestion could really be what i'm looking for either one :) | 15:24 |
| xTEMPLARx | you looking for something to become the permanent screen machine at your church? | 15:25 |
| wrst | no just protble we aren't in a permanent location | 15:25 |
| xTEMPLARx | if so, I'd go with a dedicated desktop box, rather than mobile | 15:25 |
| xTEMPLARx | like rented space? | 15:26 |
| wrst | when we get sorted i will build a rack mounted desktop machine | 15:26 |
| xTEMPLARx | or, move in, set up, tear down after each service? | 15:26 |
| wrst | yes well another church is letting us use an alt. site of there's so its not completely move it all out but the computer is the only thing | 15:26 |
| wrst | and i just don't like other people having their paws on my machine really | 15:26 |
| xTEMPLARx | and for good reason | 15:26 |
| wrst | i woudl probably still be taking this back and forth but it would be a single purpose machine | 15:27 |
| wrst | the way i tinker its cramping my style having to have a laptop that always boots and what not | 15:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | heaven forbid it boot always | 15:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | sometimes you should have to wack it with a hammer | 15:27 |
| wrst | i could use either a netbook or a cheap cheap notebook or a little mini pc sort of thing | 15:27 |
| wrst | prefer notebook/netbook probably | 15:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | a cheap cheap notebook would likely be best, performance-wise | 15:28 |
| xTEMPLARx | netbooks seem a bit underpowered for what you're likely asking of it | 15:28 |
| wrst | yeah | 15:28 |
| wrst | well running openlp it doesn't take much and probably set it up with arch running xfce or lxde | 15:28 |
| wrst | so it would be light as long as it would play 480 videos and do dual monitors | 15:28 |
| wrst | but when we get a fulltime place i will probably build two rackmount machines one for projection one for recording and why probably a file server too, i'm going to geek the place up! | 15:30 |
| xTEMPLARx | YA BIG NERD | 15:31 |
| xTEMPLARx | but yeah that sounds like the thing to do | 15:31 |
| xTEMPLARx | and you should do it all with Windows ME! | 15:31 |
| wrst | ha no thank you i'm pretty sure all that would run ubuntu lts | 15:33 |
| wrst | or debian stable depending | 15:34 |
| wrst | i love me some arch but not if i have to support it :) | 15:34 |
| xTEMPLARx | I wonder if there's a way to cause a virtualbox WindowsME session to auto-load on login by a specific user, so that they thought they were in windowsME | 15:35 |
| xTEMPLARx | that way if someone had no business using the machine, you give them that login | 15:35 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 15:35 |
| xTEMPLARx | then they'll think your machines all suck and push to have you removed from responsibility for them | 15:35 |
| xTEMPLARx | so nevermind | 15:35 |
| wrst | ha ha ha | 15:35 |
| wrst | i think that when i see someone using vista | 15:36 |
| xTEMPLARx | lol | 15:36 |
| xTEMPLARx | we have a guy here who has a fairly expensive Dell laptop he bought new, and he vehemently defends the Vista installation that's on it | 15:37 |
| xTEMPLARx | refuses to upgrade | 15:37 |
| xTEMPLARx | says its perfectly fine and nothing wrong with it | 15:37 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: maybe he has something wrong with him | 15:44 |
| wrst | oh here is one xTEMPLARx http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-Aspire-One-D255E-10-1-Netbook-Red-250-GB-Intel-Atom-1-GB-NEEDS-LCD-/150898098274?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item23223a4062 | 15:44 |
| wrst | i thought thats not bad, and thats an interesting wallpaper then i realized taht wasn't wallpaper :) | 15:44 |
| xTEMPLARx | haha | 15:45 |
| wrst | i guess i could just build something... might should do that | 15:51 |
| xTEMPLARx | would probably be the most economical, and likely the most capable | 15:54 |
| wrst | yeah i just need to do it i suppose :) | 15:59 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: building a mahcine is such a hassle, you have to look stuff up | 17:11 |
| xTEMPLARx | pffft! | 17:43 |
| xTEMPLARx | not as bad as having to look stuff up after buying a pre-built only to find out that its network/video/fill-in-the-blank isn't properly supported or requires some oddball workaround | 17:43 |
| xTEMPLARx | build a good machine based on quality parts instead of obscure chinese no-names and work right outa the box | 17:44 |
| wrst | yep xTEMPLARx thats what i did on my desktop and also on my laptop | 17:45 |
| wrst | my laptop "just works" | 17:45 |
| wrst | everything supported in the kernel | 17:46 |
| xTEMPLARx | =] | 17:47 |
| xTEMPLARx | bought some candy corn to help temper my sweet tooth here at work | 17:49 |
| xTEMPLARx | betta rekkinize | 17:49 |
| wrst | my wife gave the daughter some of that over the weekend, she was bouncing off the walls | 17:54 |
| wrst | must have some serious sugar in it | 17:55 |

| chris4585 | hey wrst, having a good monday? | 18:41 |
| wrst | for a monday i suppsoe i am, and you? :) | 18:42 |
| binarymutant | anyone know how to get openal to use pulseaudio? I've edited /etc/openal/alsoft.conf but it didn't work :/ | 18:42 |
| chris4585 | just woke up, and so far so good | 18:48 |
| wrst | binarymutant: i ahve not a clue, sorry | 18:53 |
| wrst | chris4585: about time you get up ;) | 18:53 |
| binarymutant | oh wait it's not openal, google-chrome isn't using pulse :/ | 19:00 |
| wrst | google crhome seems to do its own thing | 19:06 |
| binarymutant | it uses alsa, but pulseaudio-alsa fixed it | 19:09 |
| xTEMPLARx | when is 12.10 supposed to be official | 19:18 |
