valorieoff to dinner for me00:02
Salttoodles00:02
* seattlegaucho is a really bad organizer ... still the only one available to run the MySQL Meetup00:10
Saltthat's probably the category I've fallen into now...00:10

thefinn93looks like someone said my name a while back but i dont know how to scroll in this new curses IRC client00:25
thefinn93oh there we go00:26
* seattlegaucho .oO( time to close shop and commute back to the TV )00:27
valoriethefinn93: "new curses IRC client"?01:13
thefinn93ncurses*01:17
thefinn93specifically, weechat01:18
thefinn93the interface is confuzing because no mouse01:18
valorieah01:21
* valorie uses konversation01:21
valorielove it01:21
valoriedo not want cli IRC client01:22
valorieI like pretty01:22
valoriecli is great for some stuff, like installing and building stuff01:23
thefinn93i used XChat for the longest time01:29
thefinn93but I've been using a lot of laggy connections01:29
thefinn93ie. at school 01:29
thefinn93and mosh deals with them amazingly01:29
thefinn93while they would cause IRC clients to crash and burn01:29
valorieI hate xchat01:32
valoriehated it in windows, hate it in linux01:32
valoriekonvi rocks01:32
thefinn93what's wrong with XChat?01:33
thefinn93i loved it when I used it01:33
valoriematter of taste, I suppose01:38
valoriecounter-intuitive to me, as well as ugly01:38
thefinn93huh01:41
thefinn93yeah it was pretty ugly01:42
valoriegiven options, I choose pretty01:42
valoriewhich is why I love KDE01:43
valorieso many choices, all beautiful01:43
thefinn93lol01:43
valorietruly, that's why I chose KDE over GNOME at first in linux01:44
valorienow I'm at home in the community01:44
valoriestill prefer the look as well01:44
valoriedon't like the Unity look either01:44
valorieplus Ubuntu politics seem self-destructive01:45
thefinn93yeah ubuntu is going nuts01:56
thefinn93Unity, the amazon spyware, and the community blowing up01:57
thefinn93what else am i missing..01:57
thefinn93it's getting a little out of hand01:57
thefinn93i shan't be returning01:57
valoriein kubuntu we have none of these problems02:10
valoriewe've always had our own Kubuntu Council to set policy02:11
valorieof course we all participate in the larger community as well02:11
valoriefor instance I'm also in Ubuntu Women, as well as here02:11
valoriebut for me the unity problems, spyware and the whole "Mark being a bit nuts lately" problems are orthogonal02:12
valorieI'm sorry they are happening, but they don't affect me personally02:12
thefinn93yeah, definately02:13
valorieand the vUDS was interesting02:13
thefinn93I'm hoping GNOME Ubuntu or whatever it's called follows in Kubuntu's tracks02:13
* valorie presented at the Xubuntu session02:13
valorieall of us flavors do have many common interests, true02:13
valorieI have all the flavors in my ktorrent02:14
valorieoddly enough, lubuntu leads with the most downloads02:14
valorieabsolutely zero with basic Ubuntu02:15
valorietorrents are no longer listed in their main dl pages02:15
thefinn93who's main dl page doesnt list torrents?02:19
valorieubuntu02:27
valoriehttp://www.ubuntu.com/download02:27
valorieyou have to drill down rather far to get to the torrent links02:28
thefinn93oh yeah02:28
thefinn93when they hid the torrent links i resorted to just googling ubuntu torrent02:29
thefinn93then picking the ubuntu.com page02:29
valorieit might be on the releases page or something02:31
valorieyes, I did that as well, but I don't think I'll bother next time02:31
valoriezero usage02:31
valoriethat's not happened before02:31
Saltthefinn93, you forgot about the aggressive donation requests and dropping X07:59
bkerensamm08:22
seattlegauchoSalt: the other day you were talking about using a bouncer ... do you host your own or you use a hosted one?21:16
Salthost my own21:17
Saltheavily recommend ZNC21:17
bkerensapeople.ubuntu-oregon.org is a ZNC service21:43
bkerensa:D21:43
Saltcool21:52
Saltif we could reform -pnw and have -or, -wa, -ak all work on things together, I think that would be beneficial21:52
thefinn93^22:12
thefinn93+1 for ZNC22:12
seattlegauchobkerensa: I may sound like a n00b ... but how do I use it?22:44
thefinn93i assume he's gotta set you up an account22:50
seattlegauchohe should advertise here as well: http://wiki.znc.in/Providers22:50
thefinn93bkerensa: what are you running on that server? ZN?22:50
thefinn93ZNC*22:50
thefinn93eh i think it's just for Ubuntu related people22:51
thefinn93not really a public free-for-all servic22:51
shirgall_http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ is hard to remember?22:52
=== shirgall_ is now known as shirgall
thefinn93harder than Ubuntu.com -> download22:52
thefinn93especially when they dont advertise that22:53
shirgallthefinn93: I admit I use http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ more often :)22:53
thefinn93I tried Ubuntu Gnome22:53
thefinn93quite liked it22:53
thefinn93definately my next oS22:53
Saltgive Pear OS a try22:54
thefinn93what is Pear OS?22:54
Saltit's based on ubuntu and their logo is a pear with a bite taken out22:54
thefinn93oh shit bus is at my stop, bbl22:54
thefinn93annd we're back23:03

Saltyeah, a newer Lindows :P23:07
thefinn93although waiting for bkerensa is fine (then you get the fancy rDNS, not my name)23:07
seattlegauchostill thinking about it ... I have a desktop with 32G of RAM and 8 cores ... which most of the time just sits there23:07
seattlegauchothinking of firing up a VM and run my own23:07
thefinn93fuck, install it there!23:07
thefinn93no need for a full VM (assuming you run linux)23:08
seattlegauchorunning linux ... I like to create small appliances using ubuntu server for things like this23:11
seattlegauchoI have my own little 'cloud formation'23:11
thefinn93eh yeah i could see that23:11
seattlegauchokeeps things really out of the reach of the craziness I might be doing reg packages on my desktop23:12
thefinn93yeah23:21
