[16:31] <square-r00t> jedijf: ended up using Manjaro for the girlfriend, btw- add it to your arsenal. arch-based on backend, but super newbie-friendly, uses xfce4
[16:31] <square-r00t> she found it very intuitive
[16:36] <jthan> You let her pick any distro she wanted? :-p
[17:26] <ChinnoDog> Maybe jthan will come to fosscon.
[17:27] <jthan> I wish
[18:21] <adom> JonathanD ChinnoDog: yeah, I'll be in Western NY and Erie. long drive to Fosscon, and too hard to squeeze in the weekend. :(

[20:28] <KyleYankan> :-P
[20:28] <waltman> MutantTurkey: you've got 2 days to learn Morse Code!
[20:28] <MutantTurkey> true
[20:29] <KyleYankan> MutantTurkey: http://www.kb6nu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/2014-no-nonsense-tech-study-guide-v1.0.pdf

[20:29] <ChinnoDog> MutantTurkey: Do you have the official book?
[20:29] <MutantTurkey> nope i don't have anything,
[20:30] <MutantTurkey> not even equipment
[20:30] <ChinnoDog> You don't need equipment to pass the test
[20:30] <ChinnoDog> Do you know anything about basic electronics?
[20:30] <MutantTurkey> i just need to up my game in terms of annoying local philadelphians (KyleYankan)
[20:30] <KyleYankan> sup
[20:30] <KyleYankan> :-P
[20:31]  * KyleYankan is off for the da
[20:31]  * waltman just skimmed through it and decided there's no freaking way he can learn all that in 2 days.
[20:32] <ChinnoDog> I don't remember the international alphabet being on the technician exam. I don't know if I just didn't get any of those questions or if they really aren't there.
[20:34] <ChinnoDog> One day I will study for extra class.
[20:39] <ChinnoDog> MutantTurkey: so.. crammying for ham exam?

[20:42] <MutantTurkey> at some point i will
[20:47] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: hamstudy.org  use flashcards - go thru whole list - test - re-flashcard - you shopuld be fine - great site
[20:48] <jedijf> MutantTurkey: if you don't know answer - say so, then upper right corner opens explanation - if you get wrong the cards hammer you til you get it
