| skellat | Cheri703: You busy? | 15:22 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri703 | not at the moment, what's up? | 15:22 |
| skellat | Did you see the "Vox Pop" e-mail where I'm seeking call-ins on a relatively easy question so that people hear more than just me on The Burning Circle? | 15:23 |
| Cheri703 | I did...any takers yet? | 15:24 |
| skellat | Not yet | 15:25 |
| skellat | Leading by example is always encouraged | 15:25 |
| skellat | Oooh wait | 15:25 |
| skellat | Dad did one just so there was one | 15:26 |
| Cheri703 | heh, I was considering it. I may. I'll think about what I might want to say and decide at that point | 15:26 |
| skellat | Remember, it is a voicemail message. You don't get very long to say much of anything. | 15:27 |
| Cheri703 | well yeah | 15:27 |
| Cheri703 | hence the need to think about it first | 15:27 |
| skellat | Dad forgot to add after saying he uses Lubuntu that he finds it great because it boots without hassle for him compared to Windows | 15:28 |
| skellat | How else are things in Mansfield? We've got new snow falling here in Ashtabula. | 15:29 |
| Unit193 | Oh that's nice! | 15:29 |
| Cheri703 | it was SUPER foggy when I got up (like an hour and a half ago) | 15:29 |
| Cheri703 | which is rare because I'm on top of a hill | 15:29 |
| Cheri703 | it's not often foggy up here | 15:29 |
| skellat | Thankfully I'm below North Ridge so it doesn't get too foggy here generally. Out at The Farm in Sheffield near Plymouth Ridge it gets foggy at interesting times. | 15:31 |
| skellat | If we get fog the visibility is usually gone too | 15:32 |
| skellat | Starting from the lake heading south we've got three main ridges of North Ridge, South Ridge, and Plymouth Ridge... | 15:33 |
| skellat | North Ridge aligns with US Route 20, South Ridge mostly aligns with Ohio Route 84, and Plymouth Ridge doesn't align with any major route | 15:34 |
| Cheri703 | my exciting thing I did last night was get vnc to android working | 15:36 |
| skellat | Oooooh | 15:36 |
| Cheri703 | the tablet my friend gave me just got WAY more useful | 15:36 |
| skellat | Was the mouse able to substitute for touch gestures? | 15:36 |
| Cheri703 | trying to decide if it's worth paying $10 for the really smooth app | 15:36 |
| Cheri703 | oh, I guess I mean viewing computer on android | 15:36 |
| Cheri703 | not the other way | 15:36 |
| Cheri703 | though you can do the other way using webkey | 15:36 |
| Cheri703 | to view android on computer | 15:37 |
| Cheri703 | must be rooted though | 15:37 |
| skellat | Oh | 15:38 |
| skellat | As long as I can get an external keyboard and an SSH client, I'm usually good | 15:38 |
| Cheri703 | so the way I'm set up now, I can view phone from computer and computer from phone :) | 15:39 |
| Cheri703 | my specific use case is being able to work on gnucash file from tablet | 15:39 |
| Cheri703 | and that doesn't exactly work over ssh | 15:39 |
| skellat | True. X forwarding would not work well. Most of what I've need to do lately has been command-line based | 15:41 |
| skellat | Lots of library land people are still in shock over the planned termination of Google Reader so I've been looking over alternatives | 15:42 |
| skellat | Especially host-your-own alternatives | 15:42 |
| Cheri703_ | what was the last thing that came through from me? | 15:43 |
| === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 | ||
| skellat | (11:39:42 AM) Cheri703: and that doesn't exactly work over ssh | 15:46 |
| Cheri703 | ok, before it went sideways, I tried to say "also used it to set up dropbox on my server desktop before getting out of bed this morning :)" | 15:47 |
| skellat | Nice | 15:53 |
| skellat | Anybody not sound off yet to the Technical Board on Mr. Shuttleworth's updated revised release cadence proposal? | 15:54 |
| Unit193 | And did you see the Unity stack got a FFe? They put feature freeze later so this exact thing wouldn't happen, and the best part is that it'll be ready next week. | 16:04 |
| Unit193 | Ubuntu isn't one to play by it's own rules. :P | 16:04 |
| skellat | Well, send an e-mail to the Technical Board and complain. There was plenty of disagreement in #ubuntu-release over that happening with Unity. If you tell the Technical Board perhaps someone might realize something is amiss. | 16:11 |
| * skellat is also working on yet another application to go back to college | 16:11 | |
| Unit193 | Nah, it got "sabdfl'd" | 16:13 |
| skellat | Ah yes, "Deploy The Cosmonaut" | 16:17 |
| skellat | Again | 16:17 |
| thafreak | I was mainly using ubuntu standard...but lately compiz has been pissing me off causing all kinds of problems | 16:28 |
| thafreak | So at work, I switched to lubuntu, and at home I'm testing kubuntu | 16:28 |
| thafreak | if I had a single determinite answer, I'd call it in :) | 16:29 |
| thafreak | Actually, my most deployed ubuntu is ubuntu server ;) | 16:29 |
| thafreak | Maybe that's what I call in | 16:29 |
| skellat | A lack of a determinate answer could still be indicated :-) Vox Pop is when people get to sound off. We don't do that enough. | 16:30 |
| * skellat disappears to handle printing paperwork and other crap | 16:35 | |
| Unit193 | skellat: Is apt-offline actually better than synaptic for offline package management? | 16:52 |
| Unit193 | Only thing I'd think it does that synaptic doesn't is repo update, no? | 16:52 |
| skellat | Unit193: Yes | 19:17 |
| skellat | Offline repo update is the key | 19:17 |
| dzho | moo | 21:09 |
