| melodie | hi | 21:50 |
|---|---|---|
| pdurbin | melodie: hi | 22:46 |
| melodie | hello pdurbin | 22:47 |
| pdurbin | melodie: you started it :) | 22:47 |
| pdurbin | melodie: what's on your mind? | 22:48 |
| melodie | Ubuntu Openbox Remix is in my mind :D | 22:49 |
| melodie | spread the word, find people to help improve it, test it... use it ! | 22:49 |
| melodie | well here is Ubuntu women project, I'm a woman, I lead a project and... there are not enough women on the forum where I am... | 22:50 |
| melodie | LinuxVillage :) | 22:50 |
| pdurbin | hmm, yeah, when i searched i found this: http://www.linuxvillage.net/t277-Ubuntu-Openbox-Remix-to-test.htm | 22:51 |
| melodie | there are one or two more, but they didn't post yet... | 22:51 |
| melodie | :D | 22:51 |
| melodie | bravo !! | 22:51 |
| pdurbin | i saw a cool tweet today about pyladies being 20% of the population | 22:51 |
| melodie | the new linuxvillage is here : http://beta.linuxvillage.net | 22:51 |
| melodie | ok | 22:51 |
| melodie | I don't code, I only know how to put pieces together and sometimes I am lucky coders are interested to help add what lacks to join the pieces | 22:52 |
| pdurbin | "Holy effing crap. We're over 20% women. #pycon #pyladies" -- https://twitter.com/roguelynn/status/313319776149729280 | 22:53 |
| melodie | this is ubuntu rc7 thread http://beta.linuxvillage.net/index.php/topic,198.0.html and there has been RC8 and after that Bento1 | 22:53 |
| pdurbin | coding starts with putting pieces together. you should keep it up :) | 22:53 |
| melodie | I have been doing that for several years in another distro and now I learn to do it the Ubuntu way | 22:54 |
| melodie | I am not going to leave it, it's a global project | 22:54 |
| melodie | here is RC8 : http://meets.free.fr/debian/images/obubuntu-RC8-menus.png | 22:55 |
| pdurbin | nice | 22:55 |
| melodie | and Bento1 has a more classic openbox theme, added Brasero, and fixed a little glitch | 22:55 |
| melodie | there are a few more little glitches and three big works to do on it... not a problem for use once installed though | 22:56 |
| melodie | thanks | 22:56 |
| melodie | Bento1 is here : http://tyruiop.eu/~melodie/Downloads/ISOS/Ubuntu/ | 22:56 |
| melodie | RC3 is a minimal, not as up to date... | 22:56 |
| melodie | pdurbin what about you ? | 22:57 |
| melodie | have you projects ? | 22:57 |
| pdurbin | oh, sure | 23:02 |
| pdurbin | https://github.com/pdurbin?tab=activity | 23:03 |
| pdurbin | (warning: I am not a woman) | 23:03 |
| * melodie visit | 23:03 | |
| melodie | pdurbin ok, I'm not sexist | 23:03 |
| melodie | :D | 23:03 |
| pdurbin | heh. good | 23:03 |
| melodie | not sure I get it : do you develop in Java, in Python, in Perl, or in the three ? | 23:04 |
| pdurbin | at my new job it's Java. previously mostly Perl. a tiny bit of Python | 23:05 |
| melodie | alright | 23:05 |
| pdurbin | oh, you're welcome to promote your projects to this linux-related community: http://crimsonfu.github.com | 23:06 |
| melodie | do you contribute for new projects sometimes ? | 23:06 |
| melodie | whose is it ? | 23:06 |
| pdurbin | whose community? mine I guess. I started it :) I need a place for sysadmins to chat. the channel logs are here: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/today | 23:07 |
| melodie | "crimsonfu is a group of sysadmins who code." | 23:07 |
| pdurbin | yes | 23:07 |
| melodie | I don't code. :'( | 23:07 |
| pdurbin | meh, that's ok | 23:07 |
| melodie | I can only align a few chains in bash, and not many | 23:07 |
| pdurbin | align chains? that sounds like bioinformatics | 23:08 |
| melodie | I look at your channel logs | 23:08 |
| melodie | chain characters :D | 23:08 |
| pdurbin | ok :) | 23:08 |
| melodie | if you test the ubuntu openbox test spins, you will find a Exec= command line in a lonely /usr/share/applications/ desktop file | 23:09 |
| melodie | in the Applications > Preferences menus there is an entry to reconfigure the keyboard to your need. | 23:09 |
| melodie | this is the Debian command line which I never remember about and is so useful | 23:10 |
| melodie | and the program lxkeyboard does not work, and does not keep the configuration so I decided to start it from a maximized console (until someone fixes the gui app... ) | 23:11 |
| melodie | this is about the best I know to do in a shell | 23:11 |
| melodie | and in desktop files | 23:11 |
| melodie | but I am starting to know a bit about the system though, this is what I learned most | 23:12 |
| pdurbin | sounds useful | 23:12 |
| melodie | anyone who may have the need for a very light, optimized, and still easy desktop may want to have it | 23:12 |
| melodie | even on the new fancy tablets and stuff : just remove the panel, put icons there... perhaps a pair of xfce panels with quick launchers setup to autohide : what more is needed ? | 23:13 |
| melodie | :D | 23:13 |
| melodie | do you know zram module ? | 23:13 |
| melodie | you know what ? I like that "When In Doubt, Make It Public" | 23:14 |
| melodie | a lot | 23:14 |
| pdurbin | me too. i tend to hang out in channels (like this one) that are logged: http://wiki.greptilian.com/haunts | 23:15 |
| pdurbin | I mean... if I'm going to write, I'd might as well save it, and be able to link to it | 23:16 |
| melodie | ok | 23:16 |
| pdurbin | I haven't added this channel yet because it's so quiet | 23:16 |
| * pdurbin runs /names | 23:17 | |
| pdurbin | 25 nicks in here... | 23:17 |
| melodie | I'd be very honored to become member of your crimsonfu place, just what can I do there ? | 23:17 |
| pdurbin | you can ask and answer questions, like the rest of us | 23:17 |
| melodie | is crimson related to the king crimson old group ? | 23:17 |
| melodie | :) | 23:17 |
| pdurbin | hmm, no... :) | 23:18 |
| melodie | do you know their music ? | 23:18 |
| melodie | (70's) | 23:18 |
| pdurbin | i don't, but i sounds familiar | 23:18 |
| pdurbin | you know, i bet there are some openbox users #crimsonfu... | 23:19 |
| melodie | it was heard as a bit wild at the time | 23:19 |
| pdurbin | yeah, openbox: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/search.pl?channel=crimsonfu&nick=&q=openbox | 23:19 |
| melodie | pdurbin the truth is that all the project I am leading around it is built on one small application formerly written in lua, then ported to C by someone who wants his desktop to be light, and easy to manager | 23:20 |
| melodie | -r | 23:20 |
| melodie | manage | 23:20 |
| melodie | this is openbox-menu | 23:20 |
| melodie | pdurbin a chan, and any other place where to log/subscribe to ? ml ? else ? | 23:21 |
| pdurbin | subscribe to crimsonfu? | 23:21 |
| melodie | I have been using Archlinux mainly since the beginning of 2006. you ? | 23:22 |
| melodie | yes | 23:22 |
| pdurbin | i use red hat stuff primarily | 23:22 |
| * pdurbin ducks | 23:22 | |
| melodie | :D | 23:22 |
| melodie | some people from Redhat have helped me solve tricky stuff for another distro where I contributed, in the paste | 23:23 |
| pdurbin | i guess you could put this in your rss reader: https://github.com/crimsonfu/crimsonfu.github.com/commits/master.atom | 23:23 |
| melodie | but when "In doubt I wanted to ask advice publicly" : I have been banned. XD | 23:23 |
| pdurbin | oh wait, google reader is dead | 23:23 |
| melodie | then we created LinuxVillage. :) | 23:24 |
| melodie | I don't read RSS anymore, only news at the LinuxVillage forum, and a few mailing lists | 23:24 |
| pdurbin | so linuxvillage is supposed to be more friendly? | 23:24 |
| melodie | it is very friendly | 23:24 |
| pdurbin | friendly is good | 23:25 |
| melodie | it has the usual blabla at registering, then our rules at the Debian and LinuxChix rules: be polite, be helpful | 23:25 |
| melodie | and that's it. | 23:25 |
| pdurbin | "king crimson" -- http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2013-03-19#i_6606742 :) | 23:25 |
| melodie | what is it there ? | 23:26 |
| melodie | I don't even know what "luddite" means | 23:26 |
| pdurbin | "speaking of music, crimsonfu reminded someone of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Crimson " | 23:26 |
| melodie | oh | 23:26 |
| pdurbin | a luddite is someone who doesn't like technology | 23:27 |
| melodie | oh ? I wonder what the translation would be in French | 23:27 |
| pdurbin | they destroyed the machines that would take their jobs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite | 23:27 |
| melodie | ah | 23:27 |
| melodie | I see | 23:27 |
| melodie | I remember now | 23:28 |
| pdurbin | http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddisme | 23:28 |
| melodie | the guy's at LinuxVillage told me about it and I discovered something very new | 23:28 |
| melodie | yes, I've seen the two places, really interesting : | 23:28 |
| melodie | ! | 23:28 |
| pdurbin | ah, I see. different languages on linuxvillage | 23:31 |
| melodie | pdurbin I just stumbled upon one of your pages, at wordpress | 23:31 |
| melodie | http://beta.linuxvillage.net has French and English | 23:31 |
| pdurbin | wordpress? i don't have a wordpress site... | 23:31 |
| melodie | we are almost like a real village :D | 23:31 |
| melodie | no ? | 23:32 |
| melodie | ok | 23:32 |
| melodie | that's a quote from you then | 23:32 |
| pdurbin | have a link? | 23:32 |
| melodie | looked too fast here : http://greptilian.com/ | 23:32 |
| melodie | it refers to grep, right ? | 23:32 |
| pdurbin | yep | 23:32 |
| pdurbin | that's my site | 23:33 |
| melodie | grep and find are my best friends | 23:33 |
| pdurbin | +1 | 23:33 |
| pdurbin | well, ack is better than grep | 23:33 |
| melodie | I found a js quote I think, that leads here: https://perennialmillennial.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/the-programmer-hierarchy | 23:33 |
| melodie | I have to discover then | 23:33 |
| pdurbin | ack 1.96 -- better than grep, a source code search tool for programmers - http://betterthangrep.com/ | 23:33 |
| melodie | you probably know the drak control center from mandriva, written in Perl ? | 23:34 |
| pdurbin | hmm, nope | 23:35 |
| melodie | I try to grab a pic ? | 23:35 |
| pdurbin | i've never used mandriva | 23:35 |
| melodie | I have been using one of it's forks for about 3 years | 23:36 |
| melodie | http://www.freetechie.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/pclinuxos_apps_control_center.jpg | 23:36 |
| melodie | this works so well, be it gui or the console versions for tty's, with the different drak tools | 23:37 |
| pdurbin | hmm. new to me | 23:37 |
| melodie | all the drak tools are written in Perl | 23:37 |
| melodie | Mandriva / Mandrake before, now Mageia use it, and PCLinuxOS since it was forked first from Mandrake back in 2003 | 23:38 |
| melodie | its the most reliable admin tool ever | 23:38 |
| melodie | what makes it differ from other control centers is that it is desktop agnostic : only admin tools are gathered there, not any tool related to a specific destkop | 23:39 |
| melodie | and this is very clever | 23:39 |
| pdurbin | I find Perl to be quite reliable | 23:39 |
| melodie | I find this tool and the set that goes with it particularly well thought | 23:40 |
| melodie | you install a new admin tool : it appears in the main gui | 23:40 |
| melodie | you remove it (ie : 3D) it disappears. and each one works great most of the time | 23:40 |
| pdurbin | nice | 23:41 |
| melodie | :) | 23:41 |
| melodie | this lacks in other gui distributions, imo | 23:41 |
| melodie | is #crimsonfu on freenode ? | 23:43 |
| pdurbin | yep | 23:43 |
| melodie | coming | 23:46 |
| melodie | ... | 23:46 |
| pdurbin | heh | 23:46 |
| melodie | ? | 23:46 |
| pdurbin | there you are: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2013-03-19#i_6606775 | 23:49 |
| melodie | I now where I am, thanks. :D | 23:50 |
| melodie | do a "whois" on my nick ? | 23:50 |
| melodie | pdurbin $ sudo pacman -S ack | 23:52 |
| melodie | Cibles (2) : perl-file-next-1.10-2 ack-1.96-1 | 23:52 |
| melodie | I'll try using it | 23:52 |
