[12:04] Howdy folks [14:46] bbiab [16:08] I hate that pendrive web-site though. Everything you cursor over has a stupid pop up [16:09] pendrivelinux.com ? [16:09] hmm lets try from a non-blocker browser [16:10] Yeah, the pendrivelinux site [16:10] yeah some nasty ads all over, hmm [16:10] i can get to download UUI without any hassle though [16:11] Yeah, just don't cursor over anything that's "Blue" :-) [16:11] ah yes [16:11] adblockers for the win! [16:11] do you not use one? [16:12] ublock is great [16:12] 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] an adblocker is practically the only thing i use [16:13] got one more on my laptop for sending youtube links to my HTPC [16:13] and if I get really pisted off, I just use Lynx from the command line :-) no pop-ups there [16:13] ublock is the only blocker you'll need and it's easy on resourecs [16:13] ^+1 [16:13] lovely addon [16:14] Anyways, I got my Ubuntu membership board tomorrow .. hope that goes well. [16:15] If I pass .. then the next step is MOTU [16:15] i don't know anything about membership :) [16:16] I've been after it for a while now. [16:16] what's the purpose, exactly? [16:17] 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] well, there are some more changes coming with Ubuntu that are likely to make me swear off the distro as a whole [16:17] so i see it as a bit too late now [16:17] Purpose, well more of a sense of accomplishment and recognition really. [16:18] well with a title comes responsibility that obligates your time ... I have too many irons in fire to do that [16:18] If they divorce from Debian packaging, that, I think would be a mistake. [16:19] There's no obligation that I know of, other that what yo've already done. [16:19] to be honest i keep considering quitting the IRC channels as it is [16:20] I get annoyed, especially when trolls attack me, but other than that, I like helping. [16:20] ki7mt, there are some ubuntu memebrs who still shouldn't be giving advice or support due to lack of knowledge and commitment [16:21] Yeah, that may be true in everything, but, at least they are trying :-) [16:21] yeah i get targeted way too much by assholes these days [16:21] some are just happy to have a title, that's where it stops for them [16:22] 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. [16:23] That why I left Silicon Valley, and moved to Montana :-) no STRESS [16:24] 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] :D [16:24] that sounds nice [16:24] nice [16:25] 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 :-) [16:26] I live in a tourist area in Ontario surrounded by hundreds of lakes, and I'm retired from work , so life is pretty good [16:27] 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] We dont even have phone lines here, it's all Wireless Internet service only. [16:28] Which kinda suxs for gamming, but oh well. [16:28] wow! [16:29] has all the snow gone by now? [16:30] 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] https://www.google.gg/maps/@49.4757697,-2.5668997,12z [16:31] here's where i'm from :) [16:32] Oh yes, I lived in England (York) for about 7 years. and have crossed the channel many times. [16:32] this ia typical view of a Northern Ontario lake http://imagebin.ca/v/22Ha4VklAfTi [16:32] :D [16:32] ki7mt: ever visited the Channel Islands? [16:33] wow KDE and OS X had a baby [16:33] No, I've been by them, but never on them. [16:33] I spent a fare bit of time up in Scotland also. [16:33] Glasgow area. [16:34] And of course Ireland, we have allot of machines in the Intel plant there. [16:34] daftykins, Jersey isles? [16:34] Jersey., Isle of Man etc. [16:35] i'm from Guernsey, it's separate from Jersey :) [16:35] ok [16:35] lol; // yeah, I always spell that Is. wrong. [16:35] Jersey is sadly just like little England, whereas my isle has the proper feel :) [16:35] This is where i am from https://goo.gl/maps/yeXeT and live now here https://goo.gl/maps/ulUUg [16:36] 2 day swim to daftykins :-D [16:36] :D [16:36] i'll lend you a towel [16:36] Been to Eindoven lots of time OerHeks.. the ATMEL plant there [16:37] 6 more days, towelday [16:37] ASML was out channel parnter in metrology. [16:37] was our . .. [16:37] ki7mt, oh nice, we should meet&greet next time [16:38] I really miss Europe actually, it has a much more relaxed feel about it than the US does. [16:39] And the Pubs, Sunday lunch, I really miss that !! [16:39] and a good pint of beer never hurts either :-) [16:40] Europe if not that much different from the states. [16:40] And Tuesday Quiz Nights, Football, there's lots of things that I miss [16:42] 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. [16:43] Haarlem is a little town, near Amsterdam, some of us call it village [16:43] 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] I like it, 5 km from the beach, all sorts of entertainment, shops, and maybe an ubuntu shop in the near future [16:44] (but how to make money out of that?) [16:45] 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. [16:46] ki7mt: you mean Harlem in NYC? [16:46] Yes, NYC JanC :-) [16:47] I walked there, nothing dangerous about it... [16:47] OK [16:47] except for 1 street maybe [16:47] We'll have to agree to disagree on that point. [16:48] I've no use at all for NY. [16:48] and New Jersey is just as bad, if not worse in some places. [16:50] 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] i've only been to amsterdam in europe, but it was lovely [16:50] Like Camden, NJ, Detroit MI, Chester, PA .. those are just great places to live "NOT" [16:50] one guy got killed in front of our hotel though, 3 min walking away from Times Square :P [16:50] i wish to see london maybe one day [16:51] Never been to England myself, nor USA. [16:51] usa is different than europe [16:51] at least from what i've seen, i was born in california and lived there for a while [16:52] California is a whole different world :-) [16:52] actually born in cleveland but my parents moved afterwards, but yeah [16:53] california is like a big village or something, in the smaller cities [16:54] Europe is different from Europe too :P [16:54] (and the USA from the USA) [16:54] 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] yeah that's true :D [16:55] One good thing about Holand is: people trow away a lot of duo core pc's :-D [16:55] 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] .. not that i can sell them, nobody wants them :-( [16:56] ki7mt: ugh [16:56] Traffic in the Valley was Horrific. [16:56] is still Horrific. [16:56] ki7mt: not by car, I hope? [16:56] man amsterdam feels like a big museum or something [16:56] ki7mt, go on a bicycle [16:56] Yes, BART was only in certain areas. [16:56] all those goth buldings and stuff [16:57] Bay Area Rapid Transit == BART [16:57] EriC^^, indeed, if a fire breaks out in the old town, big risc [16:57] EriC^^: wait until you see Bruges... ;) [16:57] OerHeks, You'd have to see the traffic on 101 to understand why that would be suicidal riding a bike :-) [16:58] It's close to being suicidal just drive a care, let along a bike L:-) [16:59] 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] ki7mt: ULM plane? :) [17:00] ULM ? [17:00] KLM ? [17:01] i used to use KLM, BA, Cathay Pacific, UA Emerits and Singapore Air most of the time. [17:02] KLM / BA for US and EU flights, CP ann SA for Asia/ South East Asia, and UA Emerits for Middle East [17:02] something like http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uH7nQRHeGfE/UVB5JzlbOEI/AAAAAAAAAAU/lB1BTjetZF4/s1600/AVION-ULTRALIVIANO-ULM.jpg [17:03] rofl [17:03] LOL .. that's what I need now .. just to get to my mailbox JanC :-) [17:03] it's 3 Miles up the dirt road [17:03] ULM = Ultra Light Motorized [17:04] Yeah, that's what I need. [17:05] Ok, I gotta head out, taking the horses out for a trail ride with the neighbor kids .. CUAL [17:06] have fun [19:34] 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] *now getting [19:35] so many nutjobs on this network [22:04] daftykins, i am nutjobless:-( [22:04] not sure that is even a valid word [22:04] haha, nope [22:04] how do you mean? [22:05] ^^ so many nutjobs on this network [22:06] you mean you've never had any of these really annoying lusers that take offence to the help given? [22:06] Sure, many of them. [22:07] sometimes i get really bored, like the Q from kokut. [22:07] yeah that guy is struggling with simple things [22:58] i'm leaving for a while, just can't stand the amount of trolls anymore. [22:58] ops are nigh on useless in that place [22:58] its oke daftykins, take a rest man. [22:59] :)
