| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 12:04 |
|---|---|---|
| BluesKaj | bbiab | 14:46 |
| ki7mt | I hate that pendrive web-site though. Everything you cursor over has a stupid pop up | 16:08 |
| daftykins | pendrivelinux.com ? | 16:09 |
| daftykins | hmm lets try from a non-blocker browser | 16:09 |
| ki7mt | Yeah, the pendrivelinux site | 16:10 |
| daftykins | yeah some nasty ads all over, hmm | 16:10 |
| daftykins | i can get to download UUI without any hassle though | 16:10 |
| ki7mt | Yeah, just don't cursor over anything that's "Blue" :-) | 16:11 |
| daftykins | ah yes | 16:11 |
| daftykins | adblockers for the win! | 16:11 |
| daftykins | do you not use one? | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | ublock is great | 16:12 |
| ki7mt | Um sometimes, but I find adding allot of add-ons always seems to break the browser, so I put with allot of junk | 16:12 |
| daftykins | an adblocker is practically the only thing i use | 16:12 |
| daftykins | got one more on my laptop for sending youtube links to my HTPC | 16:13 |
| ki7mt | and if I get really pisted off, I just use Lynx from the command line :-) no pop-ups there | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | ublock is the only blocker you'll need and it's easy on resourecs | 16:13 |
| daftykins | ^+1 | 16:13 |
| daftykins | lovely addon | 16:13 |
| ki7mt | Anyways, I got my Ubuntu membership board tomorrow .. hope that goes well. | 16:14 |
| ki7mt | If I pass .. then the next step is MOTU | 16:15 |
| daftykins | i don't know anything about membership :) | 16:15 |
| ki7mt | I've been after it for a while now. | 16:16 |
| daftykins | what's the purpose, exactly? | 16:16 |
| ki7mt | YOu could probably get it through the IRC Board, as you do allot of work in IRC channel. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership | 16:17 |
| daftykins | well, there are some more changes coming with Ubuntu that are likely to make me swear off the distro as a whole | 16:17 |
| daftykins | so i see it as a bit too late now | 16:17 |
| ki7mt | Purpose, well more of a sense of accomplishment and recognition really. | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | well with a title comes responsibility that obligates your time ... I have too many irons in fire to do that | 16:18 |
| ki7mt | If they divorce from Debian packaging, that, I think would be a mistake. | 16:18 |
| ki7mt | There's no obligation that I know of, other that what yo've already done. | 16:19 |
| daftykins | to be honest i keep considering quitting the IRC channels as it is | 16:19 |
| ki7mt | I get annoyed, especially when trolls attack me, but other than that, I like helping. | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | ki7mt, there are some ubuntu memebrs who still shouldn't be giving advice or support due to lack of knowledge and commitment | 16:20 |
| ki7mt | Yeah, that may be true in everything, but, at least they are trying :-) | 16:21 |
| daftykins | yeah i get targeted way too much by assholes these days | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | some are just happy to have a title, that's where it stops for them | 16:21 |
| ki7mt | Yeah, I've had my titles, in real life, they can keep them, as that is allot more work and stress than I want these days. | 16:22 |
| ki7mt | That why I left Silicon Valley, and moved to Montana :-) no STRESS | 16:23 |
| ki7mt | And Im 5 miles away from some of the best trout fishing in the world .. and the only tress I have is trying to figure out how to keel the Elk from eating my lawn :-) | 16:24 |
| daftykins | :D | 16:24 |
| daftykins | that sounds nice | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | nice | 16:24 |
| ki7mt | Yeah, I use to run around the world liek a chicken with my head cut off, probably logged close to 1.5 million air miles, I dont ever want to see another airplane :-) | 16:25 |
| BluesKaj | I live in a tourist area in Ontario surrounded by hundreds of lakes, and I'm retired from work , so life is pretty good | 16:26 |
| ki7mt | This is my backyard, that house down there is my nearest neighbor: http://files.qrz.com/t/ki7mt/Back_Yard_Jan_09.jpg | 16:27 |
| ki7mt | We dont even have phone lines here, it's all Wireless Internet service only. | 16:27 |
| ki7mt | Which kinda suxs for gamming, but oh well. | 16:28 |
| daftykins | wow! | 16:28 |
| daftykins | has all the snow gone by now? | 16:29 |
| ki7mt | Yeah, most of it, there's some up on the Mountians still, which is the opposite direction of the picture about 5 miles or so. | 16:30 |
| daftykins | https://www.google.gg/maps/@49.4757697,-2.5668997,12z | 16:30 |
| daftykins | here's where i'm from :) | 16:31 |
| ki7mt | Oh yes, I lived in England (York) for about 7 years. and have crossed the channel many times. | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | this ia typical view of a Northern Ontario lake http://imagebin.ca/v/22Ha4VklAfTi | 16:32 |
| daftykins | :D | 16:32 |
| daftykins | ki7mt: ever visited the Channel Islands? | 16:32 |
| daftykins | wow KDE and OS X had a baby | 16:33 |
| ki7mt | No, I've been by them, but never on them. | 16:33 |
| ki7mt | I spent a fare bit of time up in Scotland also. | 16:33 |
| ki7mt | Glasgow area. | 16:33 |
| ki7mt | And of course Ireland, we have allot of machines in the Intel plant there. | 16:34 |
| BluesKaj | daftykins, Jersey isles? | 16:34 |
| ki7mt | Jersey., Isle of Man etc. | 16:34 |
| daftykins | i'm from Guernsey, it's separate from Jersey :) | 16:35 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 16:35 |
| ki7mt | lol; // yeah, I always spell that Is. wrong. | 16:35 |
| daftykins | Jersey is sadly just like little England, whereas my isle has the proper feel :) | 16:35 |
| OerHeks | This is where i am from https://goo.gl/maps/yeXeT and live now here https://goo.gl/maps/ulUUg | 16:35 |
| OerHeks | 2 day swim to daftykins :-D | 16:36 |
| daftykins | :D | 16:36 |
| daftykins | i'll lend you a towel | 16:36 |
| ki7mt | Been to Eindoven lots of time OerHeks.. the ATMEL plant there | 16:36 |
| OerHeks | 6 more days, towelday | 16:37 |
| ki7mt | ASML was out channel parnter in metrology. | 16:37 |
| ki7mt | was our . .. | 16:37 |
| OerHeks | ki7mt, oh nice, we should meet&greet next time | 16:37 |
| ki7mt | I really miss Europe actually, it has a much more relaxed feel about it than the US does. | 16:38 |
| ki7mt | And the Pubs, Sunday lunch, I really miss that !! | 16:39 |
| ki7mt | and a good pint of beer never hurts either :-) | 16:39 |
| OerHeks | Europe if not that much different from the states. | 16:40 |
| ki7mt | And Tuesday Quiz Nights, Football, there's lots of things that I miss | 16:40 |
| ki7mt | OerHeks, Maybe not so much in the bigger cities, but the smaller villiges are totally different. London is London, Amsterdam, Paris, all that is jut big city stuff, which I dont miss. | 16:42 |
| OerHeks | Haarlem is a little town, near Amsterdam, some of us call it village | 16:43 |
| ki7mt | We have a Harlem too .. but don't want there at night .. come to think of it, probably dont want to drive through in the daytime either. | 16:43 |
| OerHeks | I like it, 5 km from the beach, all sorts of entertainment, shops, and maybe an ubuntu shop in the near future | 16:43 |
| OerHeks | (but how to make money out of that?) | 16:44 |
| ki7mt | Where I live now, people don't care about technology .. of any kind, we just enjoy the outdoors. Glacier National Park is 2 hours to the North, and Yellowstone 2 hours South, and I live in the Big Belt mountains .. I like it. | 16:45 |
| JanC | ki7mt: you mean Harlem in NYC? | 16:46 |
| ki7mt | Yes, NYC JanC :-) | 16:46 |
| JanC | I walked there, nothing dangerous about it... | 16:47 |
| ki7mt | OK | 16:47 |
| JanC | except for 1 street maybe | 16:47 |
| ki7mt | We'll have to agree to disagree on that point. | 16:47 |
| ki7mt | I've no use at all for NY. | 16:48 |
| ki7mt | and New Jersey is just as bad, if not worse in some places. | 16:48 |
| OerHeks | All towns have a bad side, some warned me to go and live here this side of town, but i feel comfy myself. | 16:50 |
| EriC^^ | i've only been to amsterdam in europe, but it was lovely | 16:50 |
| ki7mt | Like Camden, NJ, Detroit MI, Chester, PA .. those are just great places to live "NOT" | 16:50 |
| JanC | one guy got killed in front of our hotel though, 3 min walking away from Times Square :P | 16:50 |
| EriC^^ | i wish to see london maybe one day | 16:50 |
| OerHeks | Never been to England myself, nor USA. | 16:51 |
| EriC^^ | usa is different than europe | 16:51 |
| EriC^^ | at least from what i've seen, i was born in california and lived there for a while | 16:51 |
| ki7mt | California is a whole different world :-) | 16:52 |
| EriC^^ | actually born in cleveland but my parents moved afterwards, but yeah | 16:52 |
| EriC^^ | california is like a big village or something, in the smaller cities | 16:53 |
| JanC | Europe is different from Europe too :P | 16:54 |
| JanC | (and the USA from the USA) | 16:54 |
| ki7mt | Ca is just, well it's Ca, what can one say, I only lived there for 3yrs, in Silicon Valley, that was enough :-) | 16:54 |
| EriC^^ | yeah that's true :D | 16:54 |
| OerHeks | One good thing about Holand is: people trow away a lot of duo core pc's :-D | 16:55 |
| ki7mt | I lived about 20 miles form my office in CA. It used to take me almost 1.5 hours to get to and from work. | 16:55 |
| OerHeks | .. not that i can sell them, nobody wants them :-( | 16:55 |
| JanC | ki7mt: ugh | 16:56 |
| ki7mt | Traffic in the Valley was Horrific. | 16:56 |
| ki7mt | is still Horrific. | 16:56 |
| JanC | ki7mt: not by car, I hope? | 16:56 |
| EriC^^ | man amsterdam feels like a big museum or something | 16:56 |
| OerHeks | ki7mt, go on a bicycle | 16:56 |
| ki7mt | Yes, BART was only in certain areas. | 16:56 |
| EriC^^ | all those goth buldings and stuff | 16:56 |
| ki7mt | Bay Area Rapid Transit == BART | 16:57 |
| OerHeks | EriC^^, indeed, if a fire breaks out in the old town, big risc | 16:57 |
| JanC | EriC^^: wait until you see Bruges... ;) | 16:57 |
| ki7mt | OerHeks, You'd have to see the traffic on 101 to understand why that would be suicidal riding a bike :-) | 16:57 |
| ki7mt | It's close to being suicidal just drive a care, let along a bike L:-) | 16:58 |
| EriC^^ | i like cali's weather though, it's pretty odd, in the morning it's freezing but you have to wear a t-shirt cause by 12noon it's so hot you're sweating and sunny | 16:59 |
| JanC | ki7mt: ULM plane? :) | 16:59 |
| ki7mt | ULM ? | 17:00 |
| ki7mt | KLM ? | 17:00 |
| ki7mt | i used to use KLM, BA, Cathay Pacific, UA Emerits and Singapore Air most of the time. | 17:01 |
| ki7mt | KLM / BA for US and EU flights, CP ann SA for Asia/ South East Asia, and UA Emerits for Middle East | 17:02 |
| JanC | something like http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uH7nQRHeGfE/UVB5JzlbOEI/AAAAAAAAAAU/lB1BTjetZF4/s1600/AVION-ULTRALIVIANO-ULM.jpg | 17:02 |
| EriC^^ | rofl | 17:03 |
| ki7mt | LOL .. that's what I need now .. just to get to my mailbox JanC :-) | 17:03 |
| ki7mt | it's 3 Miles up the dirt road | 17:03 |
| JanC | ULM = Ultra Light Motorized | 17:03 |
| ki7mt | Yeah, that's what I need. | 17:04 |
| ki7mt | Ok, I gotta head out, taking the horses out for a trail ride with the neighbor kids .. CUAL | 17:05 |
| OerHeks | have fun | 17:06 |
| daftykins | wow that blakwire fellow couldn't handle a single light hearted joke so much that i'm not getting back to back joke spam in PM | 19:34 |

| OerHeks | not sure that is even a valid word | 22:04 |
| daftykins | haha, nope | 22:04 |

| OerHeks | ^^ so many nutjobs on this network | 22:05 |
| daftykins | you mean you've never had any of these really annoying lusers that take offence to the help given? | 22:06 |
| OerHeks | Sure, many of them. | 22:06 |
| OerHeks | sometimes i get really bored, like the Q from kokut. | 22:07 |
| daftykins | yeah that guy is struggling with simple things | 22:07 |
| daftykins | i'm leaving for a while, just can't stand the amount of trolls anymore. | 22:58 |
| daftykins | ops are nigh on useless in that place | 22:58 |
| OerHeks | its oke daftykins, take a rest man. | 22:58 |
