[02:56] <aprez> good evening good evening good evening
[02:56] <Omnifrog> hi aprez
[02:57] <aprez> how are you Omnifrog?
[02:57] <Omnifrog> pretty wiped out :\
[03:01] <aprez> understandably so
[03:02] <Omnifrog> I was working in the forest today
[03:02] <Omnifrog> it's that time of year
[03:03] <aprez> was thinking of inviting everyone for an ubuntu campout in our property in one of the weekends
[03:04] <aprez> we got 400 acres on watts barr lake in camp creek cove
[03:06] <Omnifrog> counds like fun!
[03:06] <Juzzy> wow nice
[03:07] <Omnifrog> soubds*
[03:07] <Omnifrog> guh
[03:07] <Omnifrog> I give up on trying to spell
[03:10] <Omnifrog> and on consciousness
[03:10] <Omnifrog> I has to be on something flat
[03:10] <Omnifrog> night !
[03:14] <Juzzy> cya
[03:14] <Juzzy> so we're trying to buy 2 go karts
[03:14] <Juzzy> and the lawnmower breaks
[03:14] <Juzzy> (riding)
[03:14] <Juzzy> looks like the engine is bad, leaking piston
[03:15] <Juzzy> and now the AC isnt working
[03:15] <aprez> what car is this?
[03:15] <Juzzy> DAMN YOU MURPHY!
[03:15] <Juzzy> no car.
[03:15] <aprez> oh
[03:15] <aprez> what is it?
[03:15] <Juzzy> riding mower's engine
[03:15] <aprez> on what?
[03:16] <Juzzy> ?
[03:16] <aprez> what frame chassis?
[03:16] <Juzzy> riding mower's engine has a leaking piston and it's smoking like crazy
[03:16] <Juzzy> oh lol
[03:16] <Juzzy> 42" troy bilt
[03:16] <Juzzy> branco
[03:16] <aprez> hmm
[03:16] <aprez> ac? :D
[03:16] <aprez> lol
[03:16] <Juzzy> oh house AC
[03:17] <aprez> you built it ?
[03:17] <Juzzy> it's 79 degrees in here :(
[03:17] <Juzzy> naw
[16:46] <Omnifrog> I need to buy a laptop for wife that will be turned into a dual boot
[17:02] <wrst> hey Omnifrog
[17:02] <Omnifrog> hi wrst
[17:03] <wrst> I bought an ASUS something another a couple years ago I've been happy with it, but really don't think there is much difference in a $499 laptop from one brand to the next
[17:04] <Omnifrog> it's been years since I've paid any attention to the laptop world
[17:04] <wrst> I think my next one I may try to get a system76 machine
[17:24] <cyberanger> wrst: I'm liking some of the Dell XPS stuff
[17:24] <cyberanger> at least, it's got me curious
[17:24] <wrst> hmm cyberanger I need to check those off
[17:24] <cyberanger> http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd
[17:30] <Omnifrog> I was looking at the XPS-13 but no card reader or optical drive for ~$1000-1300?
[17:31] <Omnifrog> oh, $1549 from Dell
[17:32] <cyberanger> yeah, the ultrabook formfactor is why I say I'm curious
[17:32] <cyberanger> it's too steep a price, but that portability
[17:33] <Omnifrog> nice specs otherwise though
[17:39] <Omnifrog> oh well. I can research this later. I need to mow the grass before the storm front gets here
[17:46] <cyberanger> ugh, didn't need a reminder on that one
[17:47] <cyberanger> the last two years of tornados were enough, they're in that mindset for this one too
[17:54] <wrst> cyberanger: for that money i would buy a macbook
[18:25] <cyberanger> wrst: your killing me wrst a macbook
[18:25] <wrst> ha ha well for the money of a dell xps
[18:25] <wrst> might as well not get windows at all
[18:28] <cyberanger> wrst: look at that page again
[18:29] <wrst> oh yeah its ubuntu I know but if I'm going to spend that much i'm going to system76 where Ubuntu is all they do
[18:29] <cyberanger> yeah
[18:30] <cyberanger> and like I said, it's the ultrabook  bit that stands out
[18:30] <cyberanger> not a fan of that one, but it will run linux
[18:31] <wrst> yeah I'm just not a fan of dell so much
[18:31] <wrst> they are so sporadic with linux stuff rather them be in or out
[18:31] <wrst> I'm sure they are in on the server of course
[18:32] <cyberanger> have to be
[18:32] <cyberanger> for that market
[18:32] <wrst> yes if they want to sell servers :)
[18:32] <wrst> cyberanger: just got Pi II in the mail
[19:50] <Omnifrog> I feel ya cyberanger. the F4 tornado that hit Ringold a couple years ago was just down the road from us
[19:51] <cyberanger> Omnifrog: figured that or the one near Apison...still cleaning up the ringgold mess off cherokee valley
[19:52] <Omnifrog> yep
[19:52] <cyberanger> it just doesn't end (I've chosen disaster relief prior to our tornados, but somethings just gotta put it back in perspective)
[19:53] <Omnifrog> my son was still attending Apison Elementary then. We spent the next day looking for some of his friends that lived out that way
[20:50] <aprez> Hello hello hello :D
[20:50] <Omnifrog> hi aprez
[20:50] <aprez> how are you Omnifrog?
[20:51] <Omnifrog> I'm under attack by a pollen count of a MILLION!
[20:51] <Omnifrog> and awaiting the storms of doom
[20:51] <Omnifrog> how are you? :D
[20:53] <Omnifrog> I better get in the shower before the lightning gets here
[20:58] <Unit193> We already had our nice storm, today is boring now.
[21:23] <Omnifrog> ahh, the storms are building and converging on my location
[21:26] <Omnifrog> ooh, there are some nice hook echos in there
[21:37] <Omnifrog> we're gonna get hit with 2 lines
[23:03] <wrst> Omnifrog: been thundering here for a while now
[23:03] <Omnifrog> so far I'm getting the impression that the media is blowing this storm system completely out of proportion
[23:04] <Unit193> We had a larger one, now it's just raining.
[23:05] <Omnifrog> the TV is honking with emergency warning sounds but I've seen lots of these kinds of storms and this seems a bit tame
[23:06] <Unit193> Power got knocked out for us, yesterday.
[23:07] <Omnifrog> that could be a single lightning strike or an old tree falling
[23:07] <wrst> Omnifrog: agree.
[23:10] <Unit193> Here we go, this kind of was like it only at an angle and in waves. :P   http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00790/rain-weather-460_790478c.jpg (Trying to get a base point to figure out isn't easy.)
[23:13] <Unit193> Anywho, weather is weather. :P   Anyone planning on upgrading to raring/1304 or move to debian? :P
[23:29] <Omnifrog> I'm still fiddling with open suse
[23:29] <Omnifrog> I am generally very slow to upgrade though
[23:33] <wrst> Unit193: i have been running raring since mid march
