=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-oh to: Welcome to the IRC home of Ubuntu Ohio! | Check us out at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-us-ohio/ | Current podcast episode (124): http://tx0.org/6bn Speex Version (124): http://tx0.org/6bo | Second star to the right and straight on till...wait, where did that orange barrel come from? [03:35] Moo... [12:46] Morning Ohio [13:17] thafreak: is DJing all over the place [13:46] Word [13:46] was wondering when you'd get annoyed enough to say something ;) [13:46] you have a filter set up yet? :) [13:46] anyone go to PyOhio? [13:46] I can kill the emails [13:47] No, I kinda wished I did go...but I still don't feel developery enough [13:50] I created a room on tt.fm and setup a bot to stay in there and be my moderator [13:51] So I can just play whatever I want if I'm not liking what the other rooms are doing [13:52] you been quiet taggy...not even much chatter in whube for weeks it seems [13:53] sorry, been busy [13:53] overloaded to like 140% [13:53] i bet [13:54] any of you wish you had $800 lying around to reserve an Edge? [14:12] yeah, the Edge isn't going to make it [14:13] unless shuttleworth is gaming the thing [14:13] you don't think they'll get the 32m? [14:13] they're already about $1m off pace [14:14] they needed a bit more than $1m/day [14:14] they have 24 days left, but need $25m [14:14] the forum compromise and extended downtime is probably not helping [14:15] yeah, i don't know if there are THAT many people who buy unlocked phones [14:15] not many people feel comfortable dropping $600 or more for a phone [14:16] I bought an unlocked palm treo once...don't think I'll do that again [14:16] I bought an unlocked G2 and an unlocked n900, and now both are old and gathering dust [14:16] it's not an "investment" it's an expensive consumption [14:16] yes [14:16] i don't even spend $800 when i buy a new laptop :) [14:16] heh [14:17] i do like the concept though, and I hope it catches on [14:17] 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] if the even just generate enough buzz that people start expecting that kind of functionality... [14:18] haha [14:18] 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] that's what debian is for :) [14:19] 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] so, they did expand on the pledge levels [14:20] I thought it was pretty stupid when they started that it was either $20 or $800 and nothing in between. [14:20] I guess they were just playing me. [14:20] when they initially started, there was a $600 level, but it was limited to like 5000 [14:20] and those went almost instantly, hence their quick rise to 3m [14:21] I think every canonical employee bought one at that level :) [14:22] when I looked, there were just the two levels. I think they introduced intermediate levels a few days into it. [14:24] yeah, that was after the $600 level sold out...then people scoffed at the $800 level so they added more in between [14:29] 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] ODJFS? [14:35] ah [14:35] OH dept of job and family services [14:35] when I lived in ohio, I was not employed. [14:35] but I was too young to be considered "unemployed" [14:35] :| [14:39] 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] [ Burning Circle Episode 124 | Ubuntu Ohio ] - https://j.mp/13gPI1k [15:35] So, I'm teaching a sysadmin class this fall [15:35] but I don't think it'll be possible to have the students install an OS [15:36] "Imagine an operating system where you have complete control over everything..." [15:36] thafreak: at kent or? [15:36] 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] yeah, kent this time [15:36] "Now imagine a window which lets you enter commands to control anything you want..." [15:37] and the guy who maintains the labs doesn't like to install any software on the machines [15:37] so I don't think I can convince him to get virtualbox slapped on any lab machines [15:38] Anyone have any alternate ideas? Or is "installing" not super important these days... [15:38] Use AWS at the free tier? [15:38] Racking my brain, the most detailed thing you can do during an install is disk partitioning...and maybe manual net config [15:38] AWS doesn't let you do an install [15:38] you boot pre-made vm base images [15:39] 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] I mean put something up on AWS to let them have VMs to play with and install to outside KSU control [15:40] Russian doll nesting there of VMs within VMs [15:42] Not sure if AWS' kernels allow nested virt... [15:42] but I could do that on my own servers I guess... [15:50] didn't know if anyone knew of some kind of emulation/virt thing that might work withought requiring installation/admin privs
