| nhaines | Roguehorse: good morning! | 01:33 |
|---|---|---|
| Roguehorse | LOL! Not quite morning anymore is it : ) | 01:36 |
| nhaines | No, but it *does* adequately illustrate the nature of IRC. :) | 01:37 |
| akk | Good $curtime! | 01:38 |
| Roguehorse | seems that way doesn't it; still getting used to the flow of IRC | 01:38 |
| nhaines | IRC: More immediate than email; much lazier than SMS. | 01:39 |
| nhaines | I've been using it for 20 years. You get used to it eventually. :) | 01:39 |
| Roguehorse | true, it's often odd to think back through the years how my communication types have changed as well as societies | 01:40 |
| Roguehorse | I've only been involved for a few months : ) | 01:40 |
| Roguehorse | MOst of the people around me are "average" tech users, Facebook, Skype, etc.. Mostly just Facebook | 01:42 |
| nhaines | Perfect Ubuntu candidates, though. :) | 01:43 |
| nhaines | But that's fine. Everyone starts somewhere and everyone eventually finds something awesome they want to learn more of. :) | 01:43 |
| Roguehorse | I wish, all in the house are pro-Microsoft ('cept me : )) | 01:44 |
| nhaines | There's nothing wrong with Windows, but nothing extraordinary either. Maybe backwards-compatibility. They pour a lot of effort into that very successfully. | 01:46 |
| Roguehorse | I switched to Ubuntu with Karmic...did a few years of openSUSE..now back on Kubuntu | 01:46 |
| Roguehorse | Nothing wrong with it's development (other than the obvious flaws) I just get tired of people trying to "force" me into using it | 01:47 |
| nhaines | Excellent. :) | 01:47 |
| Roguehorse | The same goes for Apple.. awsome hardware and the software is nice too, but then I'm locked in | 01:48 |
| nhaines | Lucid was really nice. Precise really solid. I'm thrilled with trusty. | 01:48 |
| Roguehorse | I don't like being locked in | 01:48 |
| Roguehorse | I'm enjoying Trusty too...except for this glitch I have with the plasma desktop. But that's a KDE issue I believe | 01:49 |
| nhaines | Apple hardware is all right. The industrial design is stunning! But the markup is also stunning, unfortunately. ;) | 01:49 |
| Roguehorse | Well, supposedly all the "bells and whistles" are what one is paying for | 01:49 |
| Roguehorse | I have never owned any Apple product..even though my cousin has worked there 25+ years | 01:50 |
| Roguehorse | I hit him up for a job opp once, what a mistake that was.. LOL | 01:51 |
| nhaines | I worked with them a lot during college. I remember when OS X first came out I opened up a terminal and told my boss "this is the best interface an Apple has had in 25 years," haha. | 01:51 |
| Roguehorse | : ) | 01:51 |
| Roguehorse | I think they put out pretty good eye candy honestly | 01:52 |
| nhaines | Yup, it all looks very pretty. | 01:53 |
| nhaines | I think Ubuntu looks very clean. The phone interface is certainly stunning. | 01:53 |
| Roguehorse | I got Snow Leopard running in a VM once via Empire EFI.. it was interesting | 01:53 |
| * ianorlin tihnks lxde +compton looks pretty | 01:53 | |
| Roguehorse | Ubuntu and many of the derivitives do a very nice job....good quality dev going into most of the products | 01:55 |
| Roguehorse | I saw the phone during the release party, it is very nice, and yes, clean | 01:55 |
| nhaines | The phone interface feels good to use. | 01:56 |
| Roguehorse | ianorlin: I've tried a few of the other desktops..such as LXDE..I still seem to come back to KDE | 01:56 |
| Roguehorse | I may get one once my contract runs up..I just picked up this Android Razor not long ago though so I have a ways to go | 01:57 |
| * ianorlin knows of a derivitive of lubuntu that has a fake unity session but it doesn't have dash but uses much less memory | 01:58 | |
| Roguehorse | Define "Fake Unity" ? | 02:03 |
| Roguehorse | When Thomas Jefferson wrote "All men are created equal" what do you think he meant? - history class ... I think it was a loaded question | 02:04 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: means looks like Unity but isn't actually running Unity. :) | 02:05 |
| akk | Sure. Obviously it's debatable whether he included slaves, or women. | 02:05 |
| nhaines | akk: that's because by "men" he meant "people". | 02:06 |
| akk | nhaines: but "people" didn't actually include those people I mentioned. | 02:06 |
| nhaines | akk: probably not. | 02:06 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: Ok, thanks : ) | 02:06 |
| Roguehorse | It really seemed to "only" include white English people | 02:07 |
| nhaines | I *really* have to stop watching Kitchen Nightmares while I'm eating. | 02:07 |
| Roguehorse | LOL! - for sure | 02:07 |
| Roguehorse | I have a 4yr old son so my TV gets very limited to mostly channel 123 (whatever that is) | 02:09 |
| akk | My TV gets ... the signal from the DVD player. | 02:09 |
| nhaines | Make him watch Cosmos on Sundays. | 02:09 |
| nhaines | I'm watching on Hulu Plus right now. | 02:10 |
| Roguehorse | My wife controls it at night - and she likes 19 kids and counting or house hunters mostly | 02:10 |
| Roguehorse | I watch Netflix sometimes in the morning if I can get away with it | 02:11 |
| Roguehorse | I've been watching Arrow - pretty cool show | 02:11 |
| * ianorlin is watching hockey | 02:11 | |
| Roguehorse | I've started playing over at code.he.net too - I think I want to build on what they started | 02:12 |
| Roguehorse | I lost interest in sports a long time ago | 02:13 |
| nhaines | Creating is invigorating. :) | 02:14 |
| akk | Doing things is more fun than watching other people do things. | 02:14 |
| Roguehorse | I agree - many people have told me I need to get involved in a "project" meaning codeing rather than just writing stuff on my own | 02:14 |
| akk | Or, as Ursula K. LeGuin wrote once, "sports are neat to do but dull to talk about". | 02:15 |
| nhaines | akk: +1 | 02:15 |
| Roguehorse | I like what they started and want to continue to develop it | 02:15 |
| Roguehorse | akk: +1 | 02:15 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: well, collaboration is a really good way to get started and learn best practices. :) | 02:16 |
| Roguehorse | I agree, I've just had a hard time finding the right team+project that motivated me | 02:22 |
| Roguehorse | I thought I would find some people at the university, but most of those people didn't really care about dev - they just wanted to get the work done and get out | 02:23 |
| nhaines | There's a nice catharsis in that too. :) | 02:24 |
| Roguehorse | I've had people throw their projects and ideas at me but not many of them I found interesting | 02:24 |
| nhaines | Well, that's the difference between schoolwork and ownership of a project. :) | 02:25 |
| nhaines | Or investment in, maybe. | 02:25 |
| Roguehorse | agreed, I didn't meet any students like me with a desire to create or take ownership of a project | 02:26 |
| Roguehorse | My biggest problem is I dabble in too much instead of digging into a few things | 02:27 |
| akk | That's sad. I remember lots of late-night hack sessions in school, completely unrelated to any classes. | 02:27 |
| nhaines | Nah, that's a good way to get a sense for stuff. You just have to graduate to digging in. :) | 02:27 |
| Roguehorse | akk: Lucky for you! You found a good group. | 02:28 |
| akk | Yeah -- there were pretty good geeky groups in the schools I went to. | 02:28 |
| akk | Learned a lot, not from classes but from hanging around just trying things | 02:28 |
| Roguehorse | also take into account I'm 44 and not 24 anymore : ) | 02:28 |
| akk | or coming up with hacks to get around ridiculous quotas on student accounts -- | 02:28 |
| nhaines | akk: 640K should be enough disk space for anyone. | 02:29 |
| akk | much later, I find myself wondering if they set the ridiculous quotas to see who'd find ways around them. | 02:29 |
| ianorlin | the sad tihng is I got really into linux right after I graduated UCLA | 02:29 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: LOL! Right : ) | 02:29 |
| akk | nhaines: It was way lower than that at one school. You really couldn't keep email around (unless you had a workaround). | 02:29 |
| nhaines | akk: that's what POP3 was made for. :) | 02:30 |
| akk | I don't think POP existed then. | 02:30 |
| akk | (our mail came to us UPHILL! BOTH WAYS! IN THE SNOW! :) | 02:30 |
| nhaines | UUCP? :) | 02:30 |
| akk | yeah, we did have that. | 02:31 |
| Roguehorse | akk: ROTFLMAO!! | 02:31 |
| ianorlin | imap is nice now if you have multiple machines or dual boot | 02:31 |
| akk | What we ended up doing was forming a group of friends where we'd all tar our files together and put them in one person's homedir | 02:31 |
| Roguehorse | I still just use imap | 02:31 |
| akk | and that person would be over quota the next morning | 02:31 |
| akk | then the next day someone else would do it. | 02:31 |
| akk | (and the day's over-quota person would borrow an account from somebody else). | 02:31 |
| Roguehorse | Well, since I'm an online student it's different | 02:32 |
| akk | At another school we found a much more clever way. | 02:32 |
| Roguehorse | akk: You really had to go through hurdles! | 02:33 |
| Roguehorse | Good problem solving skill development though | 02:33 |
| akk | You can write a C program that opens a file in write mode, seeks a huge amount forward (like, more than the whole filesystem's size) then writes a single byte and closes it. | 02:33 |
| Roguehorse | If it's not a challenge, we don't learn | 02:33 |
| akk | What you get is a file with a "hole" in it | 02:33 |
| akk | but if you ls it, it will appear to be so big | 02:34 |
| akk | that when the quota system runs, it overflows and turns negative :) | 02:34 |
| akk | You just have to du your homedir and figure out how much negative it has to go, then calculate the right amount to seek, and do that every evening. | 02:34 |
| akk | I learned a lot about filesystems from that. | 02:35 |
| ianorlin | why wouldn't usage size be shown as unsigned? | 02:35 |
| Roguehorse | akk: I guess you would! Necessity is definitely the mother of invention | 02:35 |
| akk | (well, not filesytems as in kernel code, but as in inodes and such) | 02:36 |
| nhaines | Okay, that made me lol. | 02:36 |
| akk | ianorlin: Yes, it should have been unsigned, but that wasn't how they wrote the program. | 02:38 |
| akk | This was before BSD with built-in filesystem quotas, so it was just a program somebody had written that ran once a day. | 02:39 |
| akk | I think it was ... 4.1? and quotas came in with 4.2? but I might be off-by-one. | 02:39 |
| Roguehorse | back in "the-day" I think it was easier to find work-arounds to homebrews | 02:40 |
| akk | Looks like it's finally dark enough to test my raspi no-ir camera setup ... | 02:41 |
| Roguehorse | now we have decades of bug fixes that prevent much of those old/fun jobs | 02:41 |
| Roguehorse | I heard someone say that some programs that are old enough have had bugs found 60+ years later | 02:42 |
| ianorlin | finding bugs is fun though | 02:43 |
| Roguehorse | One of the guys in our LUG picked up a b-black at the makers fair | 02:43 |
| akk | 60! That would be an old program. | 02:43 |
| akk | Beaglebones are much nicer than RPis, reall. | 02:43 |
| akk | +y | 02:43 |
| Roguehorse | I wish I could remember which one it was but it was the length of time that stuck with me. | 02:43 |
| Roguehorse | akk: Yeah, he was talking about doing one of those combo-supercomputer things maybe | 02:44 |
| Roguehorse | what are those called again? | 02:44 |
| ianorlin | clusters? | 02:46 |
| akk | Cluster sounds right. | 02:46 |
| Roguehorse | well yes, but there's another term..darnit! | 02:46 |
| akk | Okay, this is not promising -- I put a glass of hot water in front of the camera and the photo still shows nothing. | 02:46 |
| Roguehorse | Beowulf | 02:48 |
| Roguehorse | akk: Gotta love that bug fixing : ) | 02:49 |
| akk | Hmm, apparently you have to have a pretty serious IR illuminator too. | 02:49 |
| akk | I have one on order but it hasn't arrived yet. | 02:49 |
| akk | So much for finding out what those big cat-looking tracks in the yard were tonight. | 02:49 |
| * akk goes to turn the pi off and turn the hot water into cocoa | 02:49 | |
| Roguehorse | plan B: executed | 02:50 |
| nhaines | Beowulf? | 02:50 |
| nhaines | Hwæt! wē Gār-Dena in ġeār-dagum, þēod-cyninga, þrym ġefrūnon, hū ðā æþelingas ellen fremedon. | 02:50 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: I Think so.... | 02:50 |
| Roguehorse | is that Danish? | 02:50 |
| nhaines | It's English. Or more accurately, englisc. | 02:51 |
| Roguehorse | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_cluster | 02:52 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Beowulf cluster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] | 02:52 |
| Roguehorse | : ) | 02:52 |
| Roguehorse | Seems like a relatively popular project these days | 02:52 |
| akk | A beowulf cluster out of slow things like beaglebones or pis seems like ... well, I guess I've built plenty of silly pointless things too, I shouldn't criticize. | 02:52 |
| akk | Since building it is the point, not getting a practical useful thing out of it. | 02:53 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: it's the first sentence in the Old English poem Beowulf. | 02:53 |
| Roguehorse | kind of like the guy who did the Star Wars movie in the terminal mode? | 02:53 |
| nhaines | Tolkien translates it as: "Lo! the glory of the kings of the people of the Spear-Danes in days of old we have heard tell, how those princes did deeds of valour." | 02:54 |
| akk | yes! That was hilarious. | 02:54 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: Ah! I think I read that freshman year in high school | 02:54 |
| akk | Leia with the @ for hair. | 02:54 |
| * akk hides from pleia2 | 02:54 | |
| Roguehorse | LOL! : ) | 02:55 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: the poem is not very practical to translate into poetic modern English. I've only started Tolkien's prose translation but it is imminently readable. | 02:55 |
| Roguehorse | imminently? | 02:56 |
| nhaines | typo for eminently. | 02:58 |
| Roguehorse | gotcha | 03:01 |
| Roguehorse | I have this guy who contacted me out of the blue and wants to give a presentation at the June EBLUG meeting | 03:03 |
| nhaines | Ooh, congrats! | 03:03 |
| Roguehorse | should I prepare a backup presentation if he doesn't show? I have never met this guy before | 03:03 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: thanks | 03:03 |
| nhaines | It's always good to have a backup presentation. I have about three or four I can give at any time. | 03:05 |
| akk | +1 | 03:05 |
| Roguehorse | which really doesn't mean much since I've only been involved since Sept | 03:05 |
| Roguehorse | hmm - Good thought | 03:05 |
| nhaines | The secret to getting involved is simply to get involved. | 03:06 |
| Roguehorse | Seems like | 03:06 |
| nhaines | As I've said to phone tech and new public speaker alike: you only have to *fake* like you're confident. The audience can't tell the difference. | 03:06 |
| nhaines | And the best thing is, there's only so many times you can pretend to be confident giving a presentation before you're not faking it anymore. | 03:06 |
| akk | A backup presentation doesn't have to be super polished, but maybe have some interesting tips to share, or something like that. | 03:06 |
| akk | And of course, contact the speaker a couple of days before and confirm. | 03:07 |
| Roguehorse | oh for sure! | 03:07 |
| Roguehorse | I haven't been through the last minute "drop-out" yet but I know it's coming sooner or later - it's inevitable | 03:08 |
| Roguehorse | I have a presentation ready to go just in case | 03:11 |
| nhaines | There you go then. ;0 | 03:11 |
| nhaines | :) | 03:11 |
| Roguehorse | I should probably build a few for good measure | 03:12 |
| nhaines | "Untrustworthy meta keys" wouldn't just make an awesome name for a band. It's also my chief complaint with this wireless keyboard. :P | 03:12 |
| Roguehorse | : ( | 03:12 |
| Roguehorse | I've been using this Logitech K800 for a few years now and I like it - hasn't let me down yet | 03:13 |
| Roguehorse | I like the LED key feature as my desk is next to the bed and sometimes I have to work in low-lighting while others are sleeping | 03:15 |
| nhaines | Shift almost always works, but sometimes Ctrl and Alt don't. And since I have Right Alt mapped to Compose, it's doubly annoying. | 03:16 |
| Roguehorse | and the keys are quieter than other models | 03:16 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: That would drive me nuts | 03:16 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: it's just barely reliable enough to keep me from throwing it against the wall. | 03:17 |
| Roguehorse | can you re-build it? | 03:17 |
| nhaines | I don't have the technology. | 03:18 |
| Roguehorse | make it stronger, faster better like Steve Rogers? | 03:18 |
| Roguehorse | it was a shot | 03:18 |
| nhaines | I'm not convinced it's a mechanical problem. :) | 03:19 |
| Roguehorse | no 6M keyboard then - so much for that series : ( | 03:19 |
| Roguehorse | ?? Ahh | 03:20 |
| nhaines | I really want a nice mechanical switch keyboard but I prefer the ergonomic ones so I'm probably out of luck. | 03:20 |
| Roguehorse | Yeah - no dice there | 03:20 |
| * ianorlin is actually thinking of building a desktop | 03:21 | |
| Roguehorse | I looked at those Lyz shared the link about that can have the custom Ubuntu meta key | 03:21 |
| nhaines | ianorlin: you'll need some nice wood, a table saw, and a miter box. | 03:21 |
| Roguehorse | They're cool - but no backlighting like I need and I'm sure the "clicking" is insane | 03:22 |
| Roguehorse | nhaines: : ) - good catch | 03:22 |
| Roguehorse | I have the old "Jerker" from Ikea | 03:22 |
| Roguehorse | I love this desk! | 03:23 |
| Roguehorse | ianorlin: Yes, I'm still a desktop user myself | 03:23 |
| Roguehorse | although I need to invest in a new mid tower | 03:24 |
| Roguehorse | I thought it would be cool to have a "gamer" case with LED's back in 2009 - now not so much | 03:24 |
| Roguehorse | my hands get cold from the front fans and my wife complains at night when I'm up late | 03:25 |
| Roguehorse | someone suggested switch out the fans but that would almost cost me as much as just getting a new case | 03:25 |
| akk | I like quiet machines. It irritates me when my fan comes on. | 03:26 |
| Roguehorse | this thing I have has 4 fans and the one on top is almost 6" - believe it or not it's pretty quiet still after all these years | 03:27 |
| Roguehorse | I have not had to replace a fan yet | 03:27 |
| Roguehorse | I think it's an Antec 6002 or something like that | 03:28 |
| Roguehorse | Antec 9002 | 03:30 |
| Roguehorse | ianorlin: If you're going to build one - unless you're going to get totally crazy in pushing it gaming - stay conventional with the case. my .02 | 03:32 |

| DonkeyHotei | my precinct is a residential garage | 04:52 |
| Roguehorse | WOW! I have not seen one of those in a while. Seems the last couple of years has been at some local school. | 04:54 |
| Roguehorse | ianorlin: Is that a list you just put together for a desktop? | 04:54 |
| ianorlin | yes | 04:54 |

| ianorlin | so fast boots and launch of programs and more space for data | 05:08 |
| Roguehorse | I have a single 350G HDD and a 2TB Fantom eSATA drive | 05:08 |
| * ianorlin has 320 G HDD and 1tb usb3 hard drive connected to laptop | 05:10 | |
| Roguehorse | so almost the same thing - pretty close | 05:10 |
| Roguehorse | I don't see a listing for gPU | 05:12 |
| ianorlin | yeah I don't really do much gaming and the intel integrated works for most things I do | 05:13 |
| Roguehorse | I understand - I have an Nvidia 9800GT and it works but sometimes it's hit and miss with the open source drivers | 05:17 |
| ianorlin | it doesn't do any better for 2d accelartion for price really either | 05:18 |
| Roguehorse | you think 380 watt supply will be enough? I've never mesured my actual consumption | 05:19 |
| ianorlin | pcpartpicker says without graphics card it will only use 187 watts | 05:21 |
| Roguehorse | one of these days I should measure resouirce usage when running VMs but I had a hard time getting good video play on a KVM machine | 05:22 |
| Roguehorse | I'm guessing that really had to do with the drivers though - obviously not the PS | 05:23 |
| Roguehorse | That seems like a cool site giving all that feedback - I bought all my parts from Fry's based on a budget and some research | 05:24 |

| Roguehorse | looks like the 1156 socket got killed in 2011 | 05:32 |
| Roguehorse | DS Cube Black Edition Silent Cube - this looks like a nice case but I can't tell how to access the drive bays? | 05:40 |
| Roguehorse | http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-case-vsk3000 - I like this case too - no fans in the front or light to annoy the wife when I'm up late and she's sleeping | 06:04 |
