darthrobotTitle: [Exynos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]03:14
grantbowI put mine in developer mode and partitioned and got the boot loader installed but it's a strange command line on each side to switch it from bootimg one OS to another so I haven't used the Ubuntu partition much at all03:15
grantbowI've had mine quite awhile and I love the light weight and long battery life. I see a lot of them carried by high school students in my area.03:16
grantbowmost chromebooks have gone intel which makes me sad03:17
rwwWe're probably going with Samsung Chromebooks at work for some stuff03:40
rwwhaven't made the final decision yet though03:40

RoguehorseGood Morning14:09
RoguehorseDoes anyone else like to watch Security Now on Twit with Steve Gibson?14:11
nhainesGood morning!14:12
nhainesCan't say I've ever seen it.14:12
RoguehorseAw dude, it's a really great shoiw14:22

darthrobotTitle: [Home of Gibson Research Corporation]14:24
RoguehorseI do an RSS to the podcast for Security Now and a few others from Twit14:25
Roguehorselast night I was watching the second part of the Certificate Revocation14:26
Roguehorseonly to find out Chrome doesn't manage it!14:27
Roguehorsehttps://www.grc.com/revocation/crlsets.htm14:27

Roguehorsebrb14:28
nhainesI'm already at capacity for podcasts at the moment, due to lack of commute. :)14:43
RoguehorseLOL!14:43
RoguehorseI have a bunch I bring in through TBird14:43
RoguehorseI cruze through them and pick out the stuff I think is interesting14:44
nhainesI use my phone, although I have a couple in Rhythmbox.  They're good for KSP background noise.  Also probably Euro Truck Simulator 2 if I ever get back to that.14:44
nhainesAlthough listening to streamed radio feeds for the country I was in was actually pretty incredible.14:45
RoguehorseWhat is that?14:45
nhainesKerbal Space Program is a rocketry simulator.  It's literally rocket science.  Also lots of explosions.14:45
nhainesEuro Truck Simulator 2 is a big rig truck simulator where you haul trailers across Europe.  I bought it ironically but it's actually really cathartic.14:45
nhainesAlso I hunted down a force feedback USB wheel and pedals used for only $10 or $12.14:46
RoguehorseEh.....I just don't get into games anymore14:46
nhainesBoth run natively on Linux.14:46
RoguehorseI had the wheel for a while back when I had an XBox14:47
nhainesWell, one's a rocketry sim and one's a driving sim.  So... :)14:47
Roguehorseor wait? Oh, sorry, that was with the PS214:47
Roguehorsefor Gran Tourismo14:47
nhainesI didn't ever expect to have a wheel.  Although I could see getting a flight yoke if I felt there was a decent flight sim worth my time.14:47
RoguehorseI think once I started getting back into programming, I lost interest in games...I think it's the "puzzle" effect programming has on me14:49
nhainesI liked Portal 2 for the puzzles.  KSP is real world hard.  It's literally rocket science.14:50
nhainesAfter a week or two I could land on the moon, but it took six months before I could rendezvous and dock.  Of course, now I can do it any time.14:50
RoguehorseI'm in the midst of writing a PerlTk program that stores user names and passwords to MySQL14:52
RoguehorseIt's more of a learning experiment than anything else14:53
RoguehorseIt could also be done in Java, but I think Java is a PITA14:54
RoguehorseI like Perl better14:54
* nhaines sticks with Python. :D14:54
RoguehorseLOL! Yes, Python is very popular these days ... and it's good. I went through some rounds of it at code.he.net14:55
RoguehorseRuby looks fun too ... I will have to play with that here in the near future as well14:55
RoguehorseBut that's what I do for kicks, write little programs like that14:56
nhainesIt's fun.  :)14:56
RoguehorseThey are!14:57
RoguehorseI also want to start playing around with Perl CGI scripts so I had to tweak my Apache to get that running14:57
RoguehorseI ended up going farther than expected and ended up moving into VirtualHosts modifying the .conf files14:58
nhainesDoesn't take much to end up with some fun little website test beds.  :)14:59
RoguehorseAll these years of running Apache and it just never occured to me to do that, I just used it as default because I'm running from one IP14:59
RoguehorseI just always dumped all my dir in /var/www as set by default without ever thinking about directing to something else15:01
RoguehorseNow I can get to /var/www and /srv/www and run sites or CGI from both15:02
Roguehorseand since I use rsync for backups I symlink from a dir under /home to either of those locations then not have to sudo in anymore15:06
Roguehorsersync and preserve symlinks and it's all good - much better than what I was doing before sudo into /var/www for everything15:07
nhainesSounds good to me!  Just remember you can throw it all in a virtual maching or LXC too.  :)15:21
nhainesakk: good morning!15:21
akkhi nhaines!15:21
nhainesakk: had to do some text effects in GIMP last night.  I wish I had had your book around!15:22
nhainesText layer, dupe, expand layer to image size, select by color, grow 5px, feather 3px, fill selection, select none, move layer down one.15:23
nhainesText outlines are literally the only thing I miss about Photoshop.15:23
nhainesOkay, maybe also effect layers.  ;)15:23
akkYou can to text to path, then do things with the path, but it means a bunch of extra steps.15:24
akkEventually gimp will have "non-destructive operations" which will have a similar effect to effect/adjustment layers.15:24
akkBut not in 2.10, alas.15:24
akkSo it'll be years.15:25
nhainesAww.15:25
nhainesI'll just be happy when their 32-bit colorspace engine is default so I can stop listening to a certain OCLUG member complain about it on the mailing list.15:25
akkGrow, feather, fill, sounds a bit like a drop shadow. Did you try fiddling with drop shadow params?15:25
nhainesNope, it was a colored text border.15:26
akkYeah, I don't care a whit about 32-bit color but I'm sure looking forward to not hearing complaints any more.15:26
nhainesAnd yes, I did peek at drop shadow, but no didn't change the defaults.15:26
nhainesSo maybe I'll do that next time.  Otherwise I eventually have to learn to create actions.15:27
akkI've found myself doing various blur/fill combinations before remembering that in drop shadow you can change offset to 0 and color to anything.15:32
nhainesYeah, I didn't even realize what you were saying until 5 seconds after I typed my comment.  :)15:33
nhainesSo that's much appreciated.  I'll know for sure next week.  :)15:33
