[04:05] evening all [13:20] =] [13:47] xTEMPLARx: wb [13:48] thank you mr. wrst [13:50] good weekend? [13:50] decent enough! you? [14:59] doing well xTEMPLARx, rain , rain , rain! [15:00] it was sprinkling on me on the way in this morning as well [15:00] * xTEMPLARx loves rain. [15:18] i do too xTEMPLARx as long as i don't have to be in it :) [15:18] being in it's not so bad, if you're dressed properly [15:18] but I hear ya [15:18] soaked socks/shoes are the worst part [15:18] yes but i'm not [15:18] yes [15:18] i can't stand that [15:19] disgusting feeling [15:19] trust me, I know all about that. I wear chuck taylors 99.9% of the time. [15:20] xTEMPLARx: i'm looking for some hardware, somethign that will run ubuntu, support dual monitors and dirt cheap [15:20] new used doesn't really matter [15:22] * xTEMPLARx isn't gonna be of much use :( [15:22] I rarely have "spare" hardware. :( [15:23] oh well not looking for give away just something cheap [15:23] i would be willing to purchase :) [15:23] I hear ya [15:23] still [15:23] price isn't the point with me [15:23] lack of availability is [15:23] :D [15:23] If I had somethin' I'd offer it to ya [15:23] i'm tired of taking my laptop to church is the moral of this story [15:23] haha [15:23] i hear ya [15:24] i have been looking at some netbooks on ebay [15:24] or a hardware suggestion could really be what i'm looking for either one :) [15:25] you looking for something to become the permanent screen machine at your church? [15:25] no just protble we aren't in a permanent location [15:25] if so, I'd go with a dedicated desktop box, rather than mobile [15:26] like rented space? [15:26] when we get sorted i will build a rack mounted desktop machine [15:26] or, move in, set up, tear down after each service? [15:26] 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] and i just don't like other people having their paws on my machine really [15:26] and for good reason [15:27] i woudl probably still be taking this back and forth but it would be a single purpose machine [15:27] the way i tinker its cramping my style having to have a laptop that always boots and what not [15:27] heaven forbid it boot always [15:27] sometimes you should have to wack it with a hammer [15:27] i could use either a netbook or a cheap cheap notebook or a little mini pc sort of thing [15:27] prefer notebook/netbook probably [15:28] a cheap cheap notebook would likely be best, performance-wise [15:28] netbooks seem a bit underpowered for what you're likely asking of it [15:28] yeah [15:28] well running openlp it doesn't take much and probably set it up with arch running xfce or lxde [15:28] so it would be light as long as it would play 480 videos and do dual monitors [15:30] 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! [15:31] YA BIG NERD [15:31] but yeah that sounds like the thing to do [15:31] and you should do it all with Windows ME! [15:33] ha no thank you i'm pretty sure all that would run ubuntu lts [15:34] or debian stable depending [15:34] i love me some arch but not if i have to support it :) [15:35] 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] that way if someone had no business using the machine, you give them that login [15:35] :D [15:35] then they'll think your machines all suck and push to have you removed from responsibility for them [15:35] so nevermind [15:35] ha ha ha [15:36] i think that when i see someone using vista [15:36] lol [15:37] 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] refuses to upgrade [15:37] says its perfectly fine and nothing wrong with it [15:44] xTEMPLARx: maybe he has something wrong with him [15:44] 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] i thought thats not bad, and thats an interesting wallpaper then i realized taht wasn't wallpaper :) [15:45] haha [15:51] i guess i could just build something... might should do that [15:54] would probably be the most economical, and likely the most capable [15:59] yeah i just need to do it i suppose :) [17:11] xTEMPLARx: building a mahcine is such a hassle, you have to look stuff up [17:43] pffft! [17:43] 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 [17:44] build a good machine based on quality parts instead of obscure chinese no-names and work right outa the box [17:45] yep xTEMPLARx thats what i did on my desktop and also on my laptop [17:45] my laptop "just works" [17:46] everything supported in the kernel [17:47] =] [17:49] bought some candy corn to help temper my sweet tooth here at work [17:49] betta rekkinize [17:54] my wife gave the daughter some of that over the weekend, she was bouncing off the walls [17:55] must have some serious sugar in it === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 [18:39] good morning chris4585 ;) [18:41] hey wrst, having a good monday? [18:42] for a monday i suppsoe i am, and you? :) [18:42] anyone know how to get openal to use pulseaudio? I've edited /etc/openal/alsoft.conf but it didn't work :/ [18:48] just woke up, and so far so good [18:53] binarymutant: i ahve not a clue, sorry [18:53] chris4585: about time you get up ;) [19:00] oh wait it's not openal, google-chrome isn't using pulse :/ [19:06] google crhome seems to do its own thing [19:09] it uses alsa, but pulseaudio-alsa fixed it [19:18] when is 12.10 supposed to be official [19:34] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule [19:45] tyvm
