nuvolario/ hello's07:13
nuvolaridoes anyone have experience of training sites?07:13
nuvolarior have an opinion on lynda.com?07:13
Kiloslo nuvolari 07:15
Kilosohi morgs wb07:33
morgshi hi07:33
superflyhey hey morgs!07:38
morgshi superfly07:38
superflymorgs: did I ask you what you thought of my boss's talk at ScaleConf?07:39
superflynuvolari: have you looked at coursera?07:39
superflynuvolari: https://www.coursera.org/07:39
morgssuperfly: It was very interesting, rare to see the hardware and software all developed together07:39
superfly:-)07:39
superflymorgs: any constructive criticism (apart from: don't be so nervous!)07:40
morgssuperfly: oh, the talk was great. We have some mutual interests in the purchasing of airtime across multiple countries - I have Dale's contact details, I'll get in touch07:41
superflymorgs: cool, thanks for the feedback07:41
nuvolarihi oom Kilos 07:44
nuvolarithanks superfly, I'll have a look, I don't know training sites well, so I'll have a look07:45
nuvolariI found teamtreehouse.com which seems more focussed than lynda.com07:47
nuvolarisuperfly: coursera looks too much like 'formal' training. I don't know the exact requirements, but some of us were asked to comment on lynda.com from a dev's POV07:48
superflynuvolari: coursera is content from various universities from around the world that you can do for free07:50
superflynuvolari: you didn't tell me WYATTD07:50
superflyMaaz: WAYTTD07:50
Maazsuperfly: WAYTTD is What Are You Trying To Do?07:50
Symmetriahaha I was printing invoices and my mother was at my place, she picks up one of the invoices, looks at it and goes "errr, you got a typo on this" Im like, where, she's like, there is an extra zero at the end of the price, Im like, no mom, thats a real invoice07:54
Symmetria;p so I got a lecture on the fact that from now on Im paying her cell phone, her car and everything else07:54
Kiloslol07:54
SymmetriaI think if the invoice had been in rands she wouldnt have blinked07:55
trender(.)(.)07:57
trender  __07:58
magespawnSymmetria: in regards to that netgear switch, i think they use affordable in a non south african sense08:09
Symmetriamagespawn, a thousand dollars for an 8 port 10gig switch is not bad08:23
Symmetriathats 8 grand08:23
Symmetriaooops 9 grand08:23
magespawnnot questioning the value, just saying most small businesses i know would not want to spend that much on IT equipment08:24
Kilostumbleweed: are they doing final fixing of 13.04 on #ubuntu-release08:36

HawkiesZAFor most purposes they're the same11:17
Kilosah ty so they also 2 hours behind us11:17
superflyKilos: UCT is an absolute time whereas GMT is a timezone11:18
Kilosim lost11:19
Kilossurely it must centre somewhere or how do we know when it relates to our time11:20
superflyKilos: a timezone is the time dependent on absolute time11:20
superflyKilos: UTC is this "centre" you talk about11:21

charlgood afternoon14:21
Kiloshi charl 14:23
charlhow's it going14:23
Kilosok ty and you?14:24
charlgood good14:25
charljust installed the stable of 13.0414:26
charlin a vm for now, i will install it on my laptop in a week or two14:26
charlbut so far it's looking goood14:26
Kiloshow good?14:27
Kiloswhats improved over 12.0414:27
charlthat would be hard to say :)14:27
charlover 12.04 - well i'm using 12.10 right now14:27
Kilosand is it better than 12.1014:27
Kilosi didnt enjoy everything fading in 12.1014:28
Kiloslike to snap to next window not fade in and out14:28
charlis that in unity?14:29
Kilosya14:29
charli have never really used unity much, i'm glad to see canonical is experimenting but it is not my kind of thing14:29
Kilosi tried 12.10 but found 12.04 quicker14:29
Kiloswhat are you using then?14:29
charli am still sticking to kde for the moment - 12.10 has kde 4.9.5 and 13.04 has kde 4.10.214:30
Kilosah and whats better?14:30
Kilosim on kde here14:30
Symmetriahrm, are there any non-apple notebooks that have retina displays on them?14:30
Symmetria(or equiv. of a retina display)14:31
charlfor me it's mainly that and a bunch of updated software14:31
charlno radical improvements14:31
magespawnlater all14:31
Kilosgo safe magespawn 14:31
charllater magespawn !14:31
Symmetriamy parents want a notebook and with them having worked on my macbooks they want a similar screen but I dont know if anything like that exists in non-apple world14:31
Symmetrialater magespawn14:31
charlsome of the latest tablets i believe have very good displays14:32
charli don't know about pcs/laptops though14:33
charlwow unity is terribly slow inside vmware14:35
charlkde is snappy14:35
charlnot hitting on unity btw, just an observation14:35
Symmetriathe macbook pro I got has like, a 2500 x something display or something crazy14:37
Symmetriaits pretty awesome14:37
charlwhy on the earth did they put an amazon link in the sidebar14:37
ThatGraemeGuyhttp://asia.cnet.com/roundup-laptops-with-high-resolution-screens-update-62219497.htm14:38
charlsurely you don't start putting all your web links in a sidebar like on a tablet or phone14:38
ThatGraemeGuyi was reading a similar article earlier focused on tablets14:38
charli'm impressed that the google chrome book is also there14:39
charlbut the price is high14:40
SquirmS3 has arrived :)14:44
nlsthzngalaxy14:45
nlsthzn?14:45
Squirmyep14:45
SymmetriaS3 is a good phone, its what Im using at the moment14:45
nlsthzn<3 my s3,... just installed the aokp rom on i14:45
nlsthzn*it14:45
Symmetriamy only whine about it is the battery life14:45
SquirmSymmetria: how long does it last you?14:45
Symmetriaheh, I now carry a portable battery charger and 3 spare batteries with me 14:45
Symmetriasquirm a day on a very quiet day14:46
nlsthznsmart phones != battery life14:46
Symmetriabusy day? 6 hours 14:46
Symmetriaif that 14:46
Squirmhmm14:46
Squirmok14:46
Symmetriabut keep in mind, Im not using it for a few calls a day, Im on the phone for hours at a time14:46
Squirmyeah14:46
Squirm87Mb update :/14:46
Symmetriaprobably using the phone for voice calls for 3 to 4 hours a day minimum14:46
Squirmit's running 4.0414:46
Squirmok14:46
Squirmthat's good for me then14:47
ThatGraemeGuy87mb is probably a prep-for-jellybean update14:47
Symmetriaheh, tricks to save your battery life, unless you're actively using it, turn off 3G 14:47
ThatGraemeGuythe full jellybean update for my one x was around 300MB iirc14:47
SquirmThatGraemeGuy: does it wipe your phone?14:47
SymmetriaI have full wifi at home so unless Im actually gonna be outta the house for a while, I turn off the 3G in the settings 14:47
Symmetriasquirm nah, didnt wipe mine when I upgraded it14:47
ThatGraemeGuygenerally, no the OTA's preserve your stuff14:47
SquirmSymmetria: I can get HSDPA here14:48
Squirmbut I live on campus14:48
Squirmand on campus we have wifi pretty much everywhere14:48
Symmetriayeah you're gonna get far bettery battery just using the wifi14:48
Symmetriaand turning the 3G down to edge connectivity14:49
Symmetriaturning off bluetooth also helps a lot if you aint using it (my phone always has it enabled because I use it pretty constantly getting in and out of the car)14:49
ThatGraemeGuyi have a one x now, upgrading in just under a year. was messing around with my sister-in-law's s2 the other day, and its pretty snappy, i'd say pretty much on par with my one x. so i'm probably going to upgrade to one of this year's flagships14:49
ThatGraemeGuyunless there's a new model next year with 128GB of storage and/or wireless charging14:50
ThatGraemeGuybut i don't think even that would be enough incentive14:50
charlciao all!14:56
Squirminfinitely quicker than my Huawei Ideos X514:58
