| thafreak | Morning Ohio | 12:46 |
| paultag | thafreak: is DJing all over the place | 13:17 |
| thafreak | Word | 13:46 |
| thafreak | was wondering when you'd get annoyed enough to say something ;) | 13:46 |
| thafreak | you have a filter set up yet? :) | 13:46 |
| yano | anyone go to PyOhio? | 13:46 |
| paultag | I can kill the emails | 13:46 |
| thafreak | No, I kinda wished I did go...but I still don't feel developery enough | 13:47 |
| thafreak | I created a room on tt.fm and setup a bot to stay in there and be my moderator | 13:50 |
| thafreak | So I can just play whatever I want if I'm not liking what the other rooms are doing | 13:51 |
| thafreak | you been quiet taggy...not even much chatter in whube for weeks it seems | 13:52 |
| paultag | sorry, been busy | 13:53 |
| paultag | overloaded to like 140% | 13:53 |
| thafreak | i bet | 13:53 |
| thafreak | any of you wish you had $800 lying around to reserve an Edge? | 13:54 |
| dzho | yeah, the Edge isn't going to make it | 14:12 |
| dzho | unless shuttleworth is gaming the thing | 14:13 |
| thafreak | you don't think they'll get the 32m? | 14:13 |
| dzho | they're already about $1m off pace | 14:13 |
| dzho | they needed a bit more than $1m/day | 14:14 |
| dzho | they have 24 days left, but need $25m | 14:14 |
| dzho | the forum compromise and extended downtime is probably not helping | 14:14 |
| thafreak | yeah, i don't know if there are THAT many people who buy unlocked phones | 14:15 |
| thafreak | not many people feel comfortable dropping $600 or more for a phone | 14:15 |
| thafreak | I bought an unlocked palm treo once...don't think I'll do that again | 14:16 |
| dzho | I bought an unlocked G2 and an unlocked n900, and now both are old and gathering dust | 14:16 |
| dzho | it's not an "investment" it's an expensive consumption | 14:16 |
| thafreak | yes | 14:16 |
| thafreak | i don't even spend $800 when i buy a new laptop :) | 14:16 |
| dzho | heh | 14:16 |
| thafreak | i do like the concept though, and I hope it catches on | 14:17 |
| dzho | plus, every time Unity hard locks my ultrabook, I sort of wish they were able to make a go at it with just computers. | 14:17 |
| thafreak | if the even just generate enough buzz that people start expecting that kind of functionality... | 14:17 |
| thafreak | haha | 14:18 |
| dzho | plus, I know it probably doesn't sell, but I wish it were more about free software and less just about the Ubuntu branding. | 14:18 |
| thafreak | that's what debian is for :) | 14:18 |
| thafreak | and with the software being free, you'd think that ALL these phones would be a bit cheaper | 14:19 |
| * dzho finishes glancing at the indiegogo page again | 14:19 | |
| dzho | so, they did expand on the pledge levels | 14:19 |
| dzho | I thought it was pretty stupid when they started that it was either $20 or $800 and nothing in between. | 14:20 |
| dzho | I guess they were just playing me. | 14:20 |
| thafreak | when they initially started, there was a $600 level, but it was limited to like 5000 | 14:20 |
| thafreak | and those went almost instantly, hence their quick rise to 3m | 14:20 |
| thafreak | I think every canonical employee bought one at that level :) | 14:21 |
| dzho | when I looked, there were just the two levels. I think they introduced intermediate levels a few days into it. | 14:22 |
| thafreak | yeah, that was after the $600 level sold out...then people scoffed at the $800 level so they added more in between | 14:24 |
| skellat | Well, the nice Interactive Voice Response system for ODJFS unemployment said they'll gladly call me back in more than 3 hours so my position as not even having a "Widow's Mite" to give to Ubuntu Edge continues | 14:29 |
| dzho | ODJFS? | 14:34 |
| dzho | ah | 14:35 |
| dzho | OH dept of job and family services | 14:35 |
| dzho | when I lived in ohio, I was not employed. | 14:35 |
| dzho | but I was too young to be considered "unemployed" | 14:35 |
| dzho | :| | 14:35 |
| skellat | My position on Ubuntu Edge was enunciated in this week's episode of the Burning Circle as shown in the rough transcript: http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/node/158 | 14:39 |
| jenni | [ Burning Circle Episode 124 | Ubuntu Ohio ] - https://j.mp/13gPI1k | 14:39 |
| thafreak | So, I'm teaching a sysadmin class this fall | 15:35 |
| thafreak | but I don't think it'll be possible to have the students install an OS | 15:35 |
| yano | "Imagine an operating system where you have complete control over everything..." | 15:36 |
| paultag | thafreak: at kent or? | 15:36 |
| thafreak | The CS department has VM servers...but to give a bunch of students access to be able to install an os would be problematic | 15:36 |
| thafreak | yeah, kent this time | 15:36 |
| yano | "Now imagine a window which lets you enter commands to control anything you want..." | 15:36 |
| thafreak | and the guy who maintains the labs doesn't like to install any software on the machines | 15:37 |
| thafreak | so I don't think I can convince him to get virtualbox slapped on any lab machines | 15:37 |
| thafreak | Anyone have any alternate ideas? Or is "installing" not super important these days... | 15:38 |
| skellat | Use AWS at the free tier? | 15:38 |
| thafreak | Racking my brain, the most detailed thing you can do during an install is disk partitioning...and maybe manual net config | 15:38 |
| thafreak | AWS doesn't let you do an install | 15:38 |
| thafreak | you boot pre-made vm base images | 15:38 |
| thafreak | I'll have no problem getting them vm's to play with...it's just the act of running through an install where I'm hitting a snag | 15:39 |
| skellat | I mean put something up on AWS to let them have VMs to play with and install to outside KSU control | 15:39 |
| skellat | Russian doll nesting there of VMs within VMs | 15:40 |
| thafreak | Not sure if AWS' kernels allow nested virt... | 15:42 |
| thafreak | but I could do that on my own servers I guess... | 15:42 |
| thafreak | didn't know if anyone knew of some kind of emulation/virt thing that might work withought requiring installation/admin privs | 15:50 |
