[00:49] My new Microsoft Sculpt Ergnomic Desktop keyboard and mouse set have arrived. It's been 5 minutes but so far I like it. [00:50] Separate numeric keypads are the bee's knees. And it's all working out of the box in Ubuntu. I'm sure Windows 8 will have to think about how it feels about USB HID devices for the requisite 3 minutes of contemplation. [00:50] welcome to never being able to type on a normal keyboard again [00:51] * ianorlin is using a ps/2 keyboard [00:51] Nah, I've been using ergnomic keyboards for about 20 years now. ;) [00:51] ah ok :) [00:52] Everyone's like "zomg how will I learn to type on one?" And I'm like "the same way you're supposed to be touchtyping on any keyboard you noob!" [00:53] * ianorlin is able to use the mouse with both hands [00:53] Ha, the mouse has a "Windows button" on it that's mapped to the Super key. [00:53] Wonder if it's feasible to replace that with an Ubuntu logo with an orange background. Well, I'll worry about that later when there are fingerprints over everything. ;) [00:55] Middle clicking doesn't make me want to throw the mouse against the wall, so that's nice too. [00:58] * ianorlin doesn't like touchpads that you have to use multitouch to middle click [00:58] why can't I have a third button? === broder_ is now known as broder === wdean_ is now known as wdean [01:44] also, I realized another one of my favorite features of my android watch is that it tells me when it's disconnected from my phone, great when I'm a block from home and don't know if I brought my phone or not, no more digging into the TARDIS-like inside of my purse [01:44] TIMEKEEPING FUNCTIONALITY DISABLED. BATTERY KILLER MODE ACTIVATED. [01:44] I wish it would find my keys [01:44] Now that's something that needs a proximity unlock mode. :) [01:44] my home? [01:45] Also car. [01:45] car may be scarier "steal phone, wander round parking lot..." [01:45] Someone described some kind of hack to do that with a little Linux server and an electronic lock for his home on Slashdot a decade ago. [01:45] Someone commented "Yeah, but if the power goes out he's fscked." [01:46] hehe [01:46] well you still carry keys [01:46] it's just when you have a handful of groceries [01:46] No, I think he completely replaced the lock. Which.. well. :P [01:46] ah, that's amusing :) [01:47] Thinkgeek was selling RFID keypad locks I think. [01:47] reminds me, I was coming home from Target during a lunch grocery run and the streets were maggoty with salesforce conference people [01:47] just like, standing on the sidewalks, not moving [01:47] * pleia2 gets the local grumpies [01:47] Ha. [01:48] All 20 Google apps updating on my phone: "This application requires an update to Google Play Services" [01:48] Me: "Dear phone, please just do the things." [01:48] are you using a dev version of GPS? [01:48] Nope. Just wiped my N5 and installed Android 4.4.4 on it. [01:49] Although to be fair, this was because th dev version of GPS (in "L" preview) broke everything two days ago and my phone was unusable because every 3 seconds: "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped." [01:49] Do you *promise*? [01:50] I am now a developer! \o/ [01:59] Okay, reinstalling Ubuntu. Hopefully for good on this phone. :P [05:17] nhaines: Yeah, TIL that one peripheral devices manufacturer also makes operating systems. huh. ;) [05:18] jyo: they're fantastic mice and keyboards. Except left Ctrl and right Alt didn't work consistently on the old one. On this replacement everything is fabulous. [05:19] I'm guessing they wanted to expand from peripherals to tablets so they wrote an OS for the tablet. [05:24] pleia2: I heard a rumor that Juno is dropping Python 2.6 support? [06:01] jyo: Kilo [06:02] Juno still has it [18:42] oh, lollipop :) [18:52] pleia2: and just in time for me having wiped my phone. :)
