| wilee-nilee | 49 | 00:10 |
| * SuperLag is going to be done with college in 10 days. | 00:10 | |
| SuperLag | I wish I'd have gone to PSU. | 00:10 |
| wilee-nilee | middle aged, you will have to wait for me to turn up my hearing aid, and get off my lawn, lol | 00:11 |
| SuperLag | haha | 00:11 |
| SuperLag | I'll hit 40 in November... so I'm not that far behind you. | 00:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Almost free school for undergrad with the pell and oregon opportunity grant | 00:11 |
| SuperLag | Yeah... I really wish I'd have done PSU instead. | 00:12 |
| SuperLag | Instead, I fell for the bullshit spiel of University of Phoenix. | 00:12 |
| wilee-nilee | My grad school is on the reed campus in the summer, so I just you know follow the trend, hint, hint | 00:12 |
| wilee-nilee | on occasion anyway | 00:13 |
| SuperLag | what are you studying for grad work? | 00:13 |
| wilee-nilee | intercultural relations the undergrad is Black Studies with a minor in psych | 00:13 |
| wilee-nilee | I'm a former Jazz musician I started at MT Hood CC in 1983 | 00:14 |
| SuperLag | wilee-nilee: what's the end goal? | 00:14 |
| SuperLag | yeah, I started at Peninsula College in Port Angeles, in 1992. It's only taken me 21 years to get my undergrad done. | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | possibly clinical psychology, but I may just go back to my business carpet and upholstery cleaning, quite profitable. | 00:15 |
| SuperLag | I should have my grad degree by the time my daughter has kids :) | 00:15 |
| SuperLag | (at this rate)_ | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | I'm a slacker so all this work is not my style, I returned to college after developing epilepsy from a earlier head injury, and could not drive anymore. | 00:16 |
| SuperLag | oh damn | 00:16 |
| wilee-nilee | the epilepsy seems to have receded though so I may drive soon. | 00:17 |
| SuperLag | epilepsy can really do a number on you | 00:17 |
| wilee-nilee | yeah, no biggoe though I had petty-mals looked like I fell asleep with my eyes open kinda creepy I suspect. | 00:17 |
| SuperLag | wilee-nilee: I'd do the self-employed thing, if you already have a good customer base | 00:18 |
| wilee-nilee | SuperLag, I used to do same day service before most others did that was where the money was, people spilling stuff or pets throwing up on persian rugs. | 00:19 |
| SuperLag | wilee-nilee: so what got you interested in open source stuff? | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | I needed a computer for college and my therapist a clinical psychologist, heard someone metion it at best buy | 00:20 |
| wilee-nilee | freegeek was what she heard | 00:21 |
| wilee-nilee | wiped home 3 times in the first 6 months | 00:21 |
| SuperLag | haha | 00:21 |
| SuperLag | awesome | 00:21 |
| wilee-nilee | I had never used a computer regularly, so I had no clue, but it has been an advantage to learning open source I think. | 00:22 |
| SuperLag | I have a Cadillac of a machine now. I learned a *long* time ago, how painful wiping ~ is. It lives on another drive, permanently, now. | 00:22 |
| wilee-nilee | I clone all the OS, I rarely need to reload but one never knows, and I hate asking for help. | 00:23 |
| SuperLag | If you would have told me then, that I'd end up owning a laptop that I could put 3 drives into... involving no modification to the stock hardware, I'd have laughed at you. | 00:23 |
| SuperLag | I love this ThinkPad. | 00:24 |
| wilee-nilee | SuperLag, Many parts of my life as well carpet cleaning is one, but I ran out of money on a refurb on a hose I owned and a roomate did this at sears and I saw within in a week all they did was advertise I left and never looked back, I average 100$ per hour when I work, just not 8 hours a day isall. | 00:25 |
| wilee-nilee | house* | 00:25 |
| wilee-nilee | anyway we are way into offtopic, let me know if you hit the town. | 00:26 |
| SuperLag | wilee-nilee: I'll be back home in PDX on the 22nd | 00:27 |
| SuperLag | I miss my girls. I didn't get to bring my wife and daughter with this time. :/ | 00:27 |
| SuperLag | wilee-nilee: I asked a question in the main channel once... got a workaround type of answer, but I just got the right answer. | 00:27 |
| wilee-nilee | that is tough missing family, I have never been married and have no children being artistic driven I'm just a child in some ways and like my freedom. | 00:28 |
| SuperLag | wilee-nilee: I was installing some apps that had bugs that required you to export an environment variable before starting, for them to work properly. | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | ooh fun | 00:28 |
| SuperLag | so... what I was told initially, was a workaround | 00:29 |
| SuperLag | point Exec= to a script in another dir, that exports the env var, and then runs the binary | 00:29 |
| SuperLag | but you don't have to do that | 00:29 |
| wilee-nilee | time for a starbucks run here to use my 2$ iced coffee receipt, viva the caffeine | 00:29 |
| SuperLag | you can do: Exec=env FOO=/bar/baz pidgin | 00:30 |
| SuperLag | and that will work | 00:30 |
| SuperLag | no extra script necessary | 00:30 |
| wilee-nilee | ah cool, talk with you later | 00:30 |
| SuperLag | ciao | 00:30 |
| fetoega | After installing saucy netboot iso all i get is a black screen. Should i disable KMS to get it working? | 02:59 |
