[00:02] <nibalizer> slangasek: pong, by way if blkperl
[00:07] <slangasek> nibalizer: hey there
[00:07] <slangasek> nibalizer: I need people with macs for me to beat up on
[00:08] <slangasek> nibalizer: want to come to the BSP at Free Geek next Sunday and bring yours? :)
[00:10] <slangasek> just to be clear, I'm proposing the beat up the macs, not the people
[00:10] <slangasek> ;)
[00:31] <nibalizer> sure!
[00:31] <nibalizer> btw at this point i am happily running ubuntu albiet in bios emulation mode
[00:32] <nibalizer> i have 12.10 at this point, should i do anything else to prepare?
[00:35] <slangasek> nibalizer: nothing at all; I mostly want to know if the raring media will boot, so I'll bring those with
[00:35] <slangasek> nibalizer: do you have an optical drive?
[00:35] <slangasek> (I have a USB DVD drive; it's crap, and half the time fails to work)
[00:36] <nibalizer> not an apple one, i have a usb cd drive kicking around somewhere though
[00:38] <slangasek> these are DVD images, Ubuntu doesn't fit on a CD anymore
[00:38] <slangasek> I'll just bring mine
[04:47] <nibalizer> slangasek: found the usb dvd drive, so we're double covered
[04:47] <nibalizer> i usually just dd the iso onto a usb though
[04:54] <c_smith> nibalizer, that'll be the quicker method, too,
[04:54] <c_smith> and more supported if the machine is so old it doesn't support DVDs.
[05:17] <nibalizer> c_smith: well its a mac book air 2011, its too new to support DVDs
[05:17] <nibalizer> lawl
[05:20] <bkerensa> nibalizer: you going to come bang on RC bugs at the BSP? :)
[05:21] <c_smith> nibalizer, ah, that can be a problem, too.
[05:21]  * c_smith goes to look when Raring is set to be released
[05:22]  * c_smith now hopes he will be fully recovered from the operation in February when the release party is for Raring
[05:23] <c_smith> might run Kubuntu 13.04 when he gets his new desktop
[05:23] <c_smith> my laptops are toast.
[05:44] <slangasek> nibalizer: well, as this is supposed to be a hybrid image that works on both USB and optical, it's useful to test that
[05:53] <bkerensa> c_smith: you just bought a new laptop this year no?
[05:54] <c_smith> bkerensa, yes, that laptop met the sidewalk
[05:54] <c_smith> an accident, of course.
[05:55] <c_smith> and my older laptop has been falling apart for some time, and it finally died
[05:55] <c_smith> out lasted the new one, though.
[05:55] <philipballew> I hate when you take a fall with a laptop
[05:55] <philipballew> happened to me twice on my bike.
[05:56] <c_smith> oh, I didn't fall, the bag I had it in broke.
[05:56] <c_smith> I'm not clumsy enough to fall walking on a straight sidewalk.
[05:56] <c_smith> with no obstacles.
[05:56] <philipballew> lol, sorry about that.
[05:57] <c_smith> eh. no prob.
[05:57] <c_smith> kinda hard to guess what had happened with just the little info I gave.
[05:57] <c_smith> anywho, I'll be getting this next week: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285
[05:59] <philipballew> seems cool
[06:03] <c_smith> yep
[18:55] <bkerensa> c_smith: Protip: Always get coverage on all electronics
[18:55] <bkerensa> :D
[22:14] <tgm4883> bkerensa, can you check the model number of your 14z and see if it's a 5423?
