[00:16] <wrst> Omnifrog: that is good right? :)
[00:17] <Omnifrog> well, not for my back
[00:18] <Omnifrog> today I was clearing some woods of dead fall and preping it for the chipper shredder
[00:19] <Omnifrog> I got about 5 or 6 pickup truck beds worth ready
[13:28] <wrst> morning Omnifrog
[15:44] <Omnifrog> howdy wrst
[15:45] <Omnifrog> new laptop is here!
[15:45] <Omnifrog> WOO!
[15:45] <wrst> cool Omnifrog, what did you get?
[15:46] <Omnifrog> wife settled on a Samsung QX411
[15:52] <wrst> that's a sweet looking laptop
[16:05] <Omnifrog> weird, the laptops first boot lands in a partition manager?
[16:07] <wrst> why would it do that?
[16:09] <Omnifrog> http://i.imgur.com/MWiMWTb.jpg
[16:10] <wrst> looks like the ubuntu installer
[16:11] <wrst> but that's nice feature actually if you are staying on winders
[18:20] <Omnifrog> what the hell is Easy Speedup Manager? and why might it need 10 minutes or more depending on my system?
[18:20] <Omnifrog> GOD I hate windows
[18:20] <wrst> Omnifrog: ??? who knows
[18:21] <wrst> easy speedup anything taking 10 minutes is well stupid defined isn't it?
[18:22] <Omnifrog> that's windows alright, click here to spend 10 minutes saving a few seconds
[18:22] <Omnifrog> followed by a reboot no doubt
[18:24] <Omnifrog> seems like optimizing the damn thing to run as fast as it can should be done already.
[18:24] <Omnifrog> what a retarded thing to make optional
[18:29] <wrst> Omnifrog: considered putting something else on it? :)
[18:30] <Omnifrog> yep. it will get a Linux partition after burn in
[18:31] <Omnifrog> either an ubuntu base or opensuse
[18:32] <Omnifrog> this is gonna be wifes new work machine.
[18:33] <Omnifrog> this speed boost thing seems to be playing with overclocking settings
[18:37] <wrst> yeah why in the world wouldnt' that happen before you get your hands on it?
[18:38] <wrst> oh well guess overclocking should be voluntary :)
[18:41] <Omnifrog> it doesn't tell you it's fiddling with the clock speed. after you click it a little picture of a CPU shows up with a bar that moves up and down a whole bunch
[18:54] <wrst> oh well
[18:54] <wrst> sillyness
[18:54] <wrst> windows 8?
[18:54] <Omnifrog> NOOOooooo!
[18:54] <Omnifrog> 7
[18:55] <wrst> can't beleive you wouldn't want that new and improved interface :)
[18:55] <Omnifrog> lol
[18:55] <wrst> Omnifrog: i'm going to play the lottery just messed with grub over ssh rebooted and it all worked
[18:56] <Omnifrog> wheeewww!
[18:56] <wrst> yeah and I know that was pretty stupid to do that :)
[18:58] <Omnifrog> oh good, another reboot. these updates (and just getting the laptop useable) is taking forever
[18:59] <wrst> you really need a day just to update
[18:59] <wrst> I love doing a reinstall of xp... man updates... forever updates
[19:00] <Omnifrog> I can't believe MS still hasn't done away with the endless need to reboot
[19:00] <wrst> its what people know them for you can't change that :)
[20:42] <chris4585> lol
[20:43] <wrst> hello chris4585
[20:44] <chris4585> hey wrst
[20:45] <wrst> chris4585: how have you been?
[20:46] <chris4585> wrst, I'm alright, enjoying my days off
[20:46] <wrst> days off are always great
[20:47] <wrst> chris4585:  I have ended my ubuntu expirement
[20:47] <chris4585> yes, and which ubuntu experiment?
[20:48] <wrst> had been using it on my laptop but gnome 3.8 is unstinky enough I can go back to arch and use it
[21:21] <chris4585> wrst, oh awesome
[21:21] <chris4585> I haven't used 3.8 yet
[21:21] <chris4585> but I imagine its good
[21:22] <wrst> chris4585: its much improved, they are making nautilus worse but overall with a couple of extensions i prefer it over unity
[21:23] <chris4585> yeah, well cinnamon has nemo so woot
[21:27] <wrst> i may use nemo with gnome-shell actually chris4585
[21:30] <chris4585> its worth it
[22:09] <Pinky> looing for help updating virtualbox  .. .. .  ???
[22:26] <Unit193> But doesn't know if he's on fedora or not....
[22:56] <wrst> fedora....
[23:09] <wrst> chris4585: i have an extension that makes the gnome dock work like a dock instead of all that activities stuff and I really like
[23:09] <wrst> and in 3.8 you now have the classic mode that isn't bad either
[23:09] <Unit193> wrst: He wasn't.
[23:10] <wrst> ha ha Unit193 fedora people still use that?
[23:10] <wrst> I tried last release, the installer was bad, made arch look good to install :)
[23:14] <chris4585> wrst, sounds nice
[23:14] <wrst> works pretty nicely chris4585
[23:15] <wrst> other than the kernel/graphics/gnome-shell issues but that's the price of being an ealry adopter, unlike ubuntu deciding i didn't need sound any more
[23:15] <wrst> that was supposed to be stable!
[23:15] <chris4585> lol
[23:15] <chris4585> I'm happy on manjaro still
[23:16] <wrst> it has arch goodness so its all good ;)
[23:16] <chris4585> basically
[23:17] <Unit193> Raring isn't great with depends, not long until their new "Mir" will depend on Unity...
[23:17] <wrst> Unit193: yeah I think Ubuntu may do well but I prefer to stay with something proven for a while and wait and see
[23:19] <Unit193> wrst: I'm saying, Xubuntu is pulling in some uneeded packages because the depends are silly.
[23:19] <wrst> Unit193: yeah when you going to debian? ;)
[23:20] <Unit193> Hopefully it'll be a little, I like the Xubuntu community and setup.
[23:20] <Unit193> (Ubuntu also cares closer to what I do whether something is open source or not.)
