[03:35] <skellat> Moo...
[12:46] <thafreak> Morning Ohio
[13:17] <paultag> thafreak: is DJing all over the place
[13:46] <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
[13:47] <thafreak> No, I kinda wished I did go...but I still don't feel developery enough
[13:50] <thafreak> I created a room on tt.fm and setup a bot to stay in there and be my moderator
[13:51] <thafreak> So I can just play whatever I want if I'm not liking what the other rooms are doing
[13:52] <thafreak> you been quiet taggy...not even much chatter in whube for weeks it seems
[13:53] <paultag> sorry, been busy
[13:53] <paultag> overloaded to like 140%
[13:53] <thafreak> i bet
[13:54] <thafreak> any of you wish you had $800 lying around to reserve an Edge?
[14:12] <dzho> yeah, the Edge isn't going to make it
[14:13] <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
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <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
[14:16] <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
[14:17] <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...
[14:18] <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 :)
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <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
[14:21] <thafreak> I think every canonical employee bought one at that level :)
[14:22] <dzho> when I looked, there were just the two levels.  I think they introduced intermediate levels a few days into it.
[14:24] <thafreak> yeah, that was after the $600 level sold out...then people scoffed at the $800 level so they added more in between
[14:29] <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
[14:34] <dzho> ODJFS?
[14:35] <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> :|
[14:39] <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
[15:35] <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
[15:36] <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..."
[15:37] <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
[15:38] <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
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <skellat> Russian doll nesting there of VMs within VMs
[15:42] <thafreak> Not sure if AWS' kernels allow nested virt...
[15:42] <thafreak> but I could do that on my own servers I guess...
[15:50] <thafreak> didn't know if anyone knew of some kind of emulation/virt thing that might work withought requiring installation/admin privs
