[03:43] <pvl1> does anyone know what brand of printers is easy to set up on ubuntu
[03:50] <jthan> I've never had a problem with any of them
[03:55] <pvl1> which brand of printers are cheap but decent quality
[04:18] <jthan> I've had good luck with the HP Photosmart line
[04:18] <jthan> but look up what is ink efficient
[04:19] <jthan> Because that's the ongoing cost.
[05:18] <waltman> morning.
[05:19] <jthan> Err
[05:19] <jthan> night?
[10:32] <rmg51> Morning
[11:43] <waltman> still morning
[12:22] <jedijf> pvl1: hp brother all good for me
[12:23] <jedijf> but then again, it's *me*
[13:21] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else
[13:23] <CodemonkeyAlx> teddy-dbear, Aye... 8:23 I should be working xD
[13:23] <teddy-dbear> I don't have to work
[13:24] <teddy-dbear> I just work at being cute :-D
[15:51] <pvl1> I'll go with hp
[17:00] <InHisName> Wife decided that our 10 year-old computer is time to be replaced.  Are there systems that use < 10 watts electricity  and with 2 or more cores and with motherboard support for 16 or 32Gigs ram.  I would like to change from 70 watts to <10 to help the old e-bill.
[17:02] <ChinnoDog> One desktop CPU uses more than 10 watts.
[17:04] <ChinnoDog> My laptop has a power supply rated for 190 watts or something. 10 watts is asking a lot.
[17:06] <ChinnoDog> I think you should replace the computer chair with a pedal powered generator and a battery.
[17:19] <InHisName> I thought there were several LOW power cpus being made.  Figured by now there could be a 10watt MB.  Apparently not.
[17:22] <waltman> InHisName: I suppose you could get a laptop and run it with an external monitor and keyboard.
[17:26] <pvl1> what about a tablet
[17:30] <ChinnoDog> Or a Pi
[17:43] <InHisName> Will open office run on a PI ?
[17:43] <InHisName> I found this: http://liliputing.com/2013/07/minix-mini-hd-is-a-cheap-barebones-low-power-desktop-with-an-atom-chip.html
[17:46] <jthan> InHisName: why wouldn't it?
[18:04] <jthan> ChinnoDog: weechat?
[18:04] <jthan> WEECHAT?
[18:04] <jthan> YOU A TRAITOR?
[18:05] <ChinnoDog> weechat++
[18:05] <ChinnoDog> except that my config is screwed up now for some reason
[18:05] <jthan> Why > irssi?
[18:07] <ChinnoDog> more features
[18:08] <jthan> Meh that's a longshot.
[18:08] <jthan> More features ootb maybe
[18:08] <pleia2> irssi++
[18:09] <pleia2> it's an irc client, what does it need ;)
[18:15] <JonathanD> Default irssi can't do my taxes. Majorly lacking.
[18:19]  * jthan uses mirc and xchat 
[18:19] <jthan> jk though.
[18:19] <jthan> I started using irssi because kejava told me to I think :-p
[18:21] <pleia2> JonathanD: well, if you use irc to find an accountant...
[18:21] <pleia2> JonathanD: also, did my RT ticket get lost in the ether? or does it always take 2 weeks to get an ack?
[18:24] <JonathanD> uh... I'll check it out.
[18:26] <pleia2> thank you :)
[18:30] <adom> pleia2: whats RT? request tracker?
[18:33] <pleia2> yeah
[18:54] <pvl1> I use wee chat
[18:54] <pvl1> has relay feature, and an android client in development
[18:55] <pvl1> I leave it running on my box at home, and connect with a gui over ssh
[18:55] <pvl1> point is I love weechat
[19:12] <ChinnoDog> I use that client too. Has a few bugs in it but works pretty well otherwise.
[19:21] <pvl1> I decided Ima try to help the development of it
[19:21] <pvl1> bc it is buggy
[19:22] <pvl1> btw anyone near bucks county
[19:32] <InHisName> I'm not near it but IN it.
[19:44] <pvl1> I live in if
[19:44] <pvl1> it
[19:52] <waltman> So $labmate just got a new nexus 5 and came over to my desk wanting to run some benchmarks. My iPhone 5s kicked its shiny metal ... butt at speedtest.
[19:53] <ChinnoDog> html5 speedtest? Maybe $labmate should try a different browser.
[19:54] <waltman> We both were running platform's official ookla app
[19:58] <ChinnoDog> hmm
[20:24] <pvl1> maybe $labmate should root his nexus
[21:52] <jedijf> proof or didnt happen
