[12:04] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[14:46] <BluesKaj> bbiab
[16:08] <ki7mt> I hate that pendrive web-site though. Everything you cursor over has a stupid pop up
[16:09] <daftykins> pendrivelinux.com ?
[16:09] <daftykins> hmm lets try from a non-blocker browser
[16:10] <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
[16:11] <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?
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <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
[16:14] <ki7mt> Anyways, I got my Ubuntu membership board tomorrow .. hope that goes well.
[16:15] <ki7mt> If I pass .. then the next step is MOTU
[16:15] <daftykins> i don't know anything about membership :)
[16:16] <ki7mt> I've been after it for a while now.
[16:16] <daftykins> what's the purpose, exactly?
[16:17] <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.
[16:18] <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.
[16:19] <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
[16:20] <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
[16:21] <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
[16:22] <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.
[16:23] <ki7mt> That why I left Silicon Valley, and moved to Montana :-) no STRESS
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <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 :-)
[16:26] <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
[16:27] <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.
[16:28] <ki7mt> Which kinda suxs for gamming, but oh well.
[16:28] <daftykins> wow!
[16:29] <daftykins> has all the snow gone by now?
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <daftykins> here's where i'm from :)
[16:32] <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?
[16:33] <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.
[16:34] <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.
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <ki7mt> I really miss Europe actually, it has a much more relaxed feel about it than the US does.
[16:39] <ki7mt> And the Pubs, Sunday lunch, I really miss that !!
[16:39] <ki7mt> and a good pint of beer never hurts either :-)
[16:40] <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
[16:42] <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.
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <OerHeks> (but how to make money out of that?)
[16:45] <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.
[16:46] <JanC> ki7mt: you mean Harlem in NYC?
[16:46] <ki7mt> Yes, NYC JanC :-)
[16:47] <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.
[16:48] <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.
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <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
[16:52] <ki7mt> California is a whole different world :-)
[16:52] <EriC^^> actually born in cleveland but my parents moved afterwards, but yeah
[16:53] <EriC^^> california is like a big village or something, in the smaller cities
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <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 :-(
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <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 :-)
[16:58] <ki7mt> It's close to being suicidal just drive a care, let along a bike L:-)
[16:59] <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?  :)
[17:00] <ki7mt> ULM ?
[17:00] <ki7mt> KLM ?
[17:01] <ki7mt> i used to use KLM, BA, Cathay Pacific, UA Emerits and Singapore Air most of the time.
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <ki7mt> Yeah, that's what I need.
[17:05] <ki7mt> Ok, I gotta head out, taking the horses out for a trail ride with the neighbor kids .. CUAL
[17:06] <OerHeks> have fun
[19:34] <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] <daftykins> *now getting
[19:35] <daftykins> so many nutjobs on this network
[22:04] <OerHeks> daftykins, i am nutjobless:-(
[22:04] <OerHeks> not sure that is even a valid word
[22:04] <daftykins> haha, nope
[22:04] <daftykins> how do you mean?
[22:05] <OerHeks> ^^  so many nutjobs on this network
[22:06] <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.
[22:07] <OerHeks> sometimes i get really bored, like the Q from kokut.
[22:07] <daftykins> yeah that guy is struggling with simple things
[22:58] <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.
[22:59] <daftykins> :)
