[03:44] hey valorie [03:45] hi ahoneybun [03:47] how u doing? [03:48] good, the contractor got well [03:48] and i got locally-roasted coffee beans today [03:48] v. good day [03:48] how about you? [03:49] nice [03:49] valorie: i am ~70% through looking for alaska [03:50] how does it compare with stars? [03:50] John Green has radically changed my perspective about the world in the last 12 hour's [03:50] errr, the fault in our stars [03:50] in what way? [03:50] maybe radically is too strong a word [03:51] how did his books change your perspective? [03:54] Not sure how to put it in words, but I now think alot more deeply about things, how things that appear something on the surface might just be an abstract idea and might represent something else entirely [03:55] that's true [03:56] what I got from looking for alaska is how amazing life is, and that we have to enjoy it NOW [03:56] since everything can change so quickly [03:58] valorie: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/629719-but-it-is-a-pipe-no-it-s-not-i-said [03:59] one of the more awesome quotes [04:01] also, both the books i have read have a very depressing finality of the human condition to them and then John seems to go to great lengths to then reveal things about some person even after theyre dead [04:01] in some ways finality is depressing [04:01] *depressing sense of the finality [04:01] but it would be worse if we all lived forever [04:02] and I've lost enough loved ones to say that they might be dead, but they aren't gone [04:02] not really, some people/religions view it as a release from the physical world and you evolve into a higher consciousnesses [04:03] or somethin [04:03] which is nice, think about not having to worry that your computer is kaput [04:03] or that a pipe broke [04:04] and your house is now flooded [04:04] for me it isn't religious or whatever [04:04] and yes, they all got release in one way or another [04:04] i am just saying that certain religions view it as that [04:04] right [04:05] for sure, since it is one of the central mysteries of life [04:07] also made me realize one of my core issues that has been eating away at me for a couple of months .... but i need to write those down on a computer [04:09] a book that brings out your core issues is great! [04:09] even if painful, which Looking for Alaska was for me [04:14] yep [04:14] also i think looking for alaska is way darker [04:15] i found the fault in our stars tamer than looking for alaska [04:19] valorie: I want to read http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/an-abundance-of-katherines next [04:19] sounds good [04:20] I'm stuck in reality right now, reading The Brothers, about John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles who ran the US foreign policy in the 50s [04:20] so depressing [04:20] interesting, but damn [04:22] alright gtg [04:31] have fun in India, shadeslayer [05:38] valorie: so translations should start soon [05:43] yes, I'll write to the translators this weekend [06:10] sounds great [08:43] apachelogger: btw for the kde developer meta package do I just write a Desktop file and app-install-data extracts info from it? [08:43] or does it require something more elaborate [08:43] I am not entirely sure how the app-install file thingy works [10:49] Good morning. [12:17] shadeslayer: no clue [12:17] read the source I'd say [13:06] http://i.imgur.com/ttlIUS8.png [13:06] hurr [13:06] why can't I into QML [13:45] howdy all === blaze1 is now known as blaze === blaze1 is now known as blaze === soee_ is now known as soee === jono is now known as Guest51977 === PaulW2U is now known as pcwhite [23:32] did not see you on valorie [23:37] I put myself on a list of nomines for the new Ubuntu FL LoCo community council [23:40] great! [23:41] yep not expecting too much but still
