| xTEMPx | whee! | 14:03 |
|---|---|---|
| === xTEMPx is now known as xTEMPLARx | ||
| xTEMPLARx | wow | 14:03 |
| xTEMPLARx | its been quiet since I've been gone | 14:03 |
| alyawn | it seems the latest beta nvidia driver fixes the unity hidden launcher bug.... yay | 14:08 |
| xTEMPLARx | hooray! | 14:17 |
| * xTEMPLARx is glad he isn't using Unity! | 14:17 | |
| xTEMPLARx | I have my home machine re-done with 12.10 beta2, but gnome-shell refuses to function on it. I'm gonna wait until there's a proper release that'll work with gnome-shell and NO Unity before I redo it | 14:19 |
| xTEMPLARx | I gave arch a shot, but I just don't have the patience for it these days | 14:19 |
| alyawn | yeah.. me either | 14:25 |
| alyawn | I was anti-unity, but it seems to be stable now.. | 14:25 |
| xTEMPLARx | Mine isn't an issue with it's stability, but more of its usability and intuitive-ness | 14:26 |
| xTEMPLARx | I didn't "take" to it | 14:26 |
| xTEMPLARx | but I took to Gnome Shell pretty quickly, and its a similar paradigm | 14:26 |
| alyawn | ah... | 14:26 |
| xTEMPLARx | I gave Unity the old college try for a while, but kept running into road blocks that kept me from getting my work done, while gnome shell really hasn't | 14:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 14:27 |
| alyawn | these days I'm more likely to take what comes in the distro by default in an attempt to get back to work quicker | 14:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | i hear ya | 14:27 |
| alyawn | :) | 14:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | which is partly why I'm waiting for 12.10 to give me a more proper gnome shell installation option than it has right now | 14:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | I don't want to fiddle with it | 14:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | I have very little time at home to fiddle with such things | 14:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | between a wife and a three-yr-old-about-to-be-four-yr-old, I have little free time | 14:28 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 14:28 |
| alyawn | yeah... funny how that fiddle-time allotment changes with age | 14:28 |
| xTEMPLARx | totally | 14:28 |
| alyawn | I have a wife and 3 kids... | 14:28 |
| xTEMPLARx | BROTHER | 14:29 |
| xTEMPLARx | you feel mah pain | 14:29 |
| alyawn | time and sleep are worth a lot to me :) | 14:29 |
| xTEMPLARx | t..time? sleep? what are these things?! | 14:29 |
| alyawn | exactly | 14:29 |
| xTEMPLARx | and then, to compound things, I go and torture myself with projects that I can't really attend to, due to financial and time constraints | 14:31 |
| xTEMPLARx | argh! | 14:31 |
| xTEMPLARx | what's wrong with me?! | 14:31 |
| xTEMPLARx | its like I want to be tortured or something | 14:31 |
| alyawn | :) | 14:32 |
| xTEMPLARx | i needs a mig welder. someone give me one they're not using. | 14:35 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 14:35 |
| alyawn | well... at least your projects seem to have a real-world component... Mine are purely virtual and, as far as the wife can tell, are vapor | 14:36 |
| xTEMPLARx | Hah. I know that feel. | 14:43 |
| xTEMPLARx | hard to impress upon someone the importance of something they cannot see | 14:44 |
| xTEMPLARx | reminds me of the early days of the internet when I'd sit on IRC at a computer and be laughing my butt off. The entire time my parents thought something was wrong with me | 14:44 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: good vacation? | 14:50 |
| xTEMPLARx | wrst: pretty nice. I cannot complain | 14:51 |
| xTEMPLARx | well I can complain about my eating habits | 14:51 |
| xTEMPLARx | but the time off itself was pretty nice | 14:51 |
| wrst | I am off this week | 14:52 |
| wrst | I mean I am "off" all the time | 14:52 |
| wrst | but away from work | 14:52 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 14:53 |
| xTEMPLARx | enjoy yourself! | 14:53 |
| xTEMPLARx | I gave arch a short-lived try at home | 14:53 |
| xTEMPLARx | grub broke things though | 14:54 |
| xTEMPLARx | the instructions on the arch site didn't really make that simple | 14:54 |
| xTEMPLARx | made me wanna break something myself | 14:54 |
| xTEMPLARx | so I put 12.10 back on | 14:54 |
| xTEMPLARx | and am still just using the win7 partition | 14:54 |
| xTEMPLARx | wb alyawn | 14:57 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: I just use that dandy little mkconfig command and all usually comes out heavenly | 14:58 |
| xTEMPLARx | no idea what you're talking about | 14:58 |
| xTEMPLARx | lol | 14:58 |
| xTEMPLARx | i don't recall that in the instructions | 14:58 |
| xTEMPLARx | bbiaf, I gotta VPN to a customer's network, so I'll probably drop connection | 14:59 |
| jfenn2199 | morning all | 15:19 |
| xTEMPLARx | I think I'm back... not sure yet. | 15:32 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 15:32 |
| alyawn | sort-of | 15:35 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 15:38 |
| xTEMPLARx | at least one other person here is alive | 15:38 |
| xTEMPLARx | I guess I can't expect wrst to keep me company since he's not working | 15:38 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 15:38 |
| alyawn | somewhat alive | 15:40 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: no way! | 16:23 |
| xTEMPLARx | unreliable is what you are | 16:25 |
| xTEMPLARx | selfishly thinking you can just not be here waiting for every line I may or may not type | 16:26 |
| wrst | I know xTEMPLARx I hate to disappoint people | 16:32 |
| xTEMPLARx | :) | 16:33 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: I'm cleaning my wife's car now so I'm more than happy to check my phone on occasion | 16:34 |
| xTEMPLARx | haha | 16:34 |
| xTEMPLARx | GET TO WORK, SLAVE! | 16:34 |
| wrst | it is nasty | 16:34 |
| xTEMPLARx | how's the young'un? | 16:34 |
