[15:22] Cheri703: You busy? [15:22] not at the moment, what's up? [15:23] 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? [15:24] I did...any takers yet? [15:25] Not yet [15:25] Leading by example is always encouraged [15:25] Oooh wait [15:26] Dad did one just so there was one [15:26] heh, I was considering it. I may. I'll think about what I might want to say and decide at that point [15:27] Remember, it is a voicemail message. You don't get very long to say much of anything. [15:27] well yeah [15:27] hence the need to think about it first [15:28] Dad forgot to add after saying he uses Lubuntu that he finds it great because it boots without hassle for him compared to Windows [15:29] How else are things in Mansfield? We've got new snow falling here in Ashtabula. [15:29] Oh that's nice! [15:29] it was SUPER foggy when I got up (like an hour and a half ago) [15:29] which is rare because I'm on top of a hill [15:29] it's not often foggy up here [15:31] 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. [15:32] If we get fog the visibility is usually gone too [15:33] Starting from the lake heading south we've got three main ridges of North Ridge, South Ridge, and Plymouth Ridge... [15:34] 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 [15:36] my exciting thing I did last night was get vnc to android working [15:36] Oooooh [15:36] the tablet my friend gave me just got WAY more useful [15:36] Was the mouse able to substitute for touch gestures? [15:36] trying to decide if it's worth paying $10 for the really smooth app [15:36] oh, I guess I mean viewing computer on android [15:36] not the other way [15:36] though you can do the other way using webkey [15:37] to view android on computer [15:37] must be rooted though [15:38] Oh [15:38] As long as I can get an external keyboard and an SSH client, I'm usually good [15:39] so the way I'm set up now, I can view phone from computer and computer from phone :) [15:39] my specific use case is being able to work on gnucash file from tablet [15:39] and that doesn't exactly work over ssh [15:41] True. X forwarding would not work well. Most of what I've need to do lately has been command-line based [15:42] 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] Especially host-your-own alternatives [15:43] what was the last thing that came through from me? === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 [15:46] (11:39:42 AM) Cheri703: and that doesn't exactly work over ssh [15:47] 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 :)" [15:53] Nice [15:54] Anybody not sound off yet to the Technical Board on Mr. Shuttleworth's updated revised release cadence proposal? [16:04] 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] Ubuntu isn't one to play by it's own rules. :P [16:11] 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 [16:13] Nah, it got "sabdfl'd" [16:17] Ah yes, "Deploy The Cosmonaut" [16:17] Again [16:28] I was mainly using ubuntu standard...but lately compiz has been pissing me off causing all kinds of problems [16:28] So at work, I switched to lubuntu, and at home I'm testing kubuntu [16:29] if I had a single determinite answer, I'd call it in :) [16:29] Actually, my most deployed ubuntu is ubuntu server ;) [16:29] Maybe that's what I call in [16:30] 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. [16:35] * skellat disappears to handle printing paperwork and other crap [16:52] skellat: Is apt-offline actually better than synaptic for offline package management? [16:52] Only thing I'd think it does that synaptic doesn't is repo update, no? [19:17] Unit193: Yes [19:17] Offline repo update is the key [21:09] moo
