=== EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [04:09] uuuuuuuuuugh why did i click =| [04:37] EriC^^: morning [04:38] o/ [04:38] daftykins: hellow :p [04:38] morning sir [04:38] ugh you missed one of the lower points of the channel =| [04:38] a bloody spammer linked to child porn again =| [04:38] what happened [04:38] ouch [04:38] who banned him? [04:39] i did an !ops and thankfully Flannel showed up [04:39] why they always choose ubuntu to spam lol [04:39] it's weird isn't it? ##windows i can imagine [04:39] something genuinely hated [04:39] lol [04:40] but volunteers helping for free for a Linux distro, just don't get it [04:40] maybe MS hired freaks to spam haha [04:40] there are those who don't like the way the channel is run, of course [04:40] XD [04:41] we are getting power worldwide with ubuntu now [04:41] some might not be happy about that [04:41] the pretentious might have a problem with the masses using Linux yeah [04:42] i've attracted a few fans in my time that come in just trying to troll me, that's for sure [04:42] lolz [04:43] it's funny, sometimes you can spend 3 hours straight helping someone get ubuntu installed on their machine [04:44] but a next user comes in and you call them out for being too lazy to even google their problem - and you get a fan for life :P [04:44] yeah i never get that [04:44] loool [04:44] not sure if you have this phrase us Brit-ish types do, "no good deed goes unpunished" [04:45] well at the end we have a good felling upon ourselfs thats the only thing that matters to me [04:46] mmm, puzzle solving can be ace [04:46] and we learn much ourselfs [04:47] definitely - i mean i don't even USE ubuntu 8D [04:47] oh really [04:47] desktop anyway ;D [04:47] wich distro? [04:49] *cough* Windows [04:49] :p [04:50] my ubuntu exposure is primarily servers [04:50] you game? [04:51] mostly on consoles as i have friends too poor to buy PCs :) [04:51] nah the majority of my work remains on Windows desktops so that's where my skills must stay [04:52] ic [04:52] although it's a little worrying that i can still suggest reasonable solutions to Linux desktop queries people in other channels have, even when surrounded by people who use Linux desktops 24/7 [04:53] e.g. someone installed Linux for their mother back home, wanted to setup remote access... but that mother still took her laptop out and about occasionally [04:53] so i said configure a static IP for the home wifi network via network manager [04:53] nobody else had a clue :( [04:53] i feel bad for kind of "ringing my own bell" there as we say, but it just shocked me that 24/7 Linux desktop types had no idea how to tackle that problem [04:54] :p [04:55] i try a mix of windows and ubuntu, but prefer to install ubuntu as its a long term solution [04:55] there is that, all the people i help are locked into some proprietary software or another though [04:55] and i would never put ubuntu in for anyone because i simply couldn't support it without using it myself [04:55] some ppl also dont understand ubuntu [04:56] but most multimedia use, have no troubles [04:57] my dad is 78 and never managed to crash ubuntu desktop yet :p [04:57] before i had to come fix windows every month [04:58] i just remember back in the gnome 2 era, pre unity, when ubuntu couldn't even keep panel elements in the same places between boots [04:58] lol [04:58] bit shocking :/ [04:58] we come a long way indeed [04:59] i remember strugling on old redhat cdroms to get my internet working [04:59] but it fascinated me alot [05:03] :D [05:04] shared internet connections behind routers with wired or wifi definitely made it way easier for the modern generations [05:04] yeah true [05:04] i think the first Linux i played with i was just missing my music collection [05:04] amarok :p [05:07] i think it was stick on separate disks at the time [05:07] and being too newb i would've had no idea how to mount some NTFS volume, if you even could back then [05:07] lolz [05:13] lol [05:14] http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-World-s-First-Ubuntu-Powered-Drone-is-Here-Video-480010.shtml [08:51] Good morning.
