[08:10] good morning [12:07] dholbach: fetching data for ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com ... nothing in queue [12:07] :D [12:08] got the password reset and added to my listadmin [12:08] popey, was it up at 24967429674296 before that? [12:08] ah, brilliant :) [12:08] 146 ☻ [12:09] not too bad then :) [12:24] good morning everybody ;) [12:26] yo === PabloRubianes_ is now known as PabloRubianes [15:52] dholbach: UOS is going to be every 6 months now? [15:52] cjohnston, that's how I understood the discussion at UOS [15:53] dholbach: I wasn't a part of it, so I'll trust that its accurate.. I just hadn't heard it yet [15:53] oops, wrong button [15:54] oops [15:54] right... that should probably get into an announcement once the dates are agreed on [15:54] dholbach: probably should request uos.ubuntu.com and do some work on uds.ubuntu.com to s/d/o [15:55] yes, I think I sent an RT for that - or at least mentioned it in a discussion with the webteam [15:55] gotcha [17:04] all rightie... I'll call it a day - see you all tomorrow! [19:15] If I am buying laptop. Is a thinkpad usually always going to be a good bet, or am I better off with something else? [19:21] depends [19:21] generally yes, thinkpads are good for support, so are dell [19:23] i have always had dells,but I see a lot of thinkpads, so I figure they are a safe bet. Also for support as breaking things is a hobby of mine... [19:23] but I am not afraid of a dell again i guess. [19:26] the downside of thinkpads is that many of the new models have insane keyboards [19:26] yeah, makes switching between a thinkpad and... anything else brain explode [19:29] my hp elitebooks are nice, have the 9470m for work and bought the 850 G1 personally (blah blah disclaimer, you know my employer) [19:32] jcastro: tell philipballew how awesome the thinkpad keyboards are [19:32] I currently use my dell because it has a pointing stick :) [19:32] jcastro: where is the tilde/backtick again? ;) [19:32] or whatever slang people use for that term [19:32] so much rage [19:32] yeah, thats what keeps me on thinkpads [19:33] pfft, me elitebooks have them [19:34] I don't really care for them though [19:35] I am going to avoid a macbook though as that would make me a "hipster wannabee" [19:35] aloha [19:35] they're also very expensive for what you get [19:36] unless you need to use osx [19:36] squiggly keys [19:36] I call them squiggly [19:37] but yes, thinkpad keyboards are the immaculate input device [19:37] well, some of them anyway [19:37] * philipballew currently uses a dell latitude. [19:38] my favorite thing about the new thinkpads is they figured out the right way to put the logo on the top (not upside down) and the glowing red light [19:38] finally! [19:38] have they figured that the battery light needs to face you, and not the person opposite? [19:38] never figured that out [19:39] the new thinkpad kb and touchpads are some of the worst devices ever made [19:39] they're pretty horrible [19:39] though lenovo says they're getting rid of them [19:39] oh!? [19:39] going back to the "Thinkpad Classic" keyboard? [19:39] that's good [19:40] * philipballew might take his chances and get one [19:40] its been 8 years with Dell [19:41] Cant people get used to any keyboard? [19:42] not me, I'm old and set in my ways [19:42] grump grump [19:42] Get off my lawn! [19:43] popey: you have a battery indicator facing you [19:43] yep, probably gonna try out the T series. [19:47] Being a linux foundation member gives me a discount! [19:47] mhall119: nope, the battery light only faces outwards [19:47] nice [19:48] no, the one in the gui on my ubuntu laptop doesn't count [19:48] because if my display is off (power saved) it makes _no_ sense to wake it up (eating more battery) just to check the battery life [19:49] http://socialsanta.co/user/ubuntu tsk tsk [19:49] bet that was jono [19:50] popey: obviously that site doesn't know that 'systemd' is profanity [19:50] popey, we can up that [19:51] popey, :-) [19:52] http://socialsanta.co/user/mhall119 not sure if I'm nice, or just don't use twitter enough [19:53] dont look at mine ⍨ [20:33] it turns out I am 11% nice [20:33] :-) [20:38] it turns out it's a good job I don't do any of that social stuff ... [20:38] evening jono et al [20:38] howdy elfy :-) [20:43] Good afternoon jono [20:43] hey skellat ! :-) [20:53] Greetings from Mountain View === Pici is now known as Guest74903 [21:35] czajkowski: you should work for a company headquartered in central Florida [21:36] lol [21:36] I dont think I could work for Disney :p [21:37] there's one or two other companies around here, I think [21:37] :) [21:38] czajkowski: thanks for bringing rain, we haven't had any! [21:39] I kind of miss rain :) [21:57] bah [21:57] it's not raining back home [21:57] and so far at least it's been mild out here [21:58] yeah, today is nice [21:59] good evening ladies ;)
