[05:25] <philipballew> Got someone from TJ coming to the Ubuntu hour here in San Diego by reaching out the the mx loco
[05:27] <philipballew> Were pretty much cross cultural now.

[23:27] <raevol> omfg
[23:27] <raevol> if only i had known about this AGES ago
[23:27] <raevol> this is how you fix firefox sending your one-word searches to your DNS
[23:30] <akk> I've always set keyword.url, though I thought it only kicked in when you type two or more words.
[23:31] <akk> But when somewhere where the cable company intercepts DNS one-word queries, I also edit /etc/resolv.conf, make sure the cable company is out and replace it with 8.8.8.8 or whatever.
[23:31] <raevol> by default when i type two or more i get a google search, but when i only type one, it tries to take me to http://whatityped/
[23:31] <raevol> i see
[23:32] <akk> Hmm, yep, I go to google for a one-word keyword now too. I guess Mozilla changed that at some point.
[23:32] <akk> I guess I can try to unlearn the habit of typing [space]keyword when I only have one word to search for.
[23:34] <akk> I also need to go in and edit my jar files so I can middleclick-paste things that aren't a fully qualified url.
[23:36] <raevol> hehe
[23:43] <akk> They used to let you middleclick things like example.com/coolarticle.html but they disabled that a few years ago
[23:43] <akk> (too many people whining that they were middleclicking by accident, so do they make it configurable? nooo!)
[23:44] <raevol> hehe
[23:44] <raevol> i have an issue with my firefox at home taking like 30 seconds to load the first launch after a reboot
[23:44] <raevol> need to see if clearing my cache will fix it
[23:45] <akk> Firefox has always been super slow to start up for me.
[23:45] <raevol> 75 more minutes of work -_-
[23:45] <raevol> i fixed it once by "resetting" firefox
[23:45] <raevol> but that didn't work this time around
[23:45] <raevol> there's some command you can give it to clear out everything but your bookmarks basically
[23:46] <raevol> i'm learning unity keyboard shortcuts
[23:46] <raevol> so awesome
[23:46] <raevol> super+1-9 is amazing
[23:46] <akk> What does it do?
[23:47] <akk> Is super the windows key?
[23:47] <raevol> it's like pressing the icon in the launcher
[23:47] <raevol> yea
[23:47] <raevol> if you hold down super, it'll show you numbers on the launcher icons
[23:47] <raevol> then press the number to "click" that icon
[23:47] <akk> What I want is a way to use the HUD without having to run unity.
[23:47] <raevol> hud as in the Alt thing?
[23:48] <akk> I forget what key it is, but the thing that gives you keyboard access to menus in apps.
[23:48] <raevol> ah yea
[23:48] <raevol> i never use that :/
[23:49] <raevol> i always hated workspaces
[23:49] <akk> Wow, really?
[23:49] <raevol> but i've started using them on my work computer because i usually have a ton of stuff open on it
[23:49] <raevol> and i'm finding them really useful...
[23:49] <akk> I'd hate to compute without them.
[23:49] <raevol> well at home i usually don't have more than 2 windows open
[23:49] <akk> I don't have a lot, only 3 most of the time, but it's 1000% better than just one.
[23:49] <raevol> browser and something else, whatever it is
[23:50] <akk> I have my email/IRC space, my hacking space, and my browser space
[23:50] <akk> and if I'm running gimp, sometimes I'll make a fourth workspace for that if I'm working actively in the other three.
[23:50] <raevol> at work i have my browser, my virtualbox, my chat, and a fourth for random things, usually ssh
