[17:44] Hi! [17:45] hi jani_ [17:45] im completely new in this cahnnel :) [17:46] hi ianorlyn [17:46] yay new faces [17:46] is there any company for ubuntu in california, or just a free team? [17:47] there are companies that use it at least one that sells with preinstalled [17:47] I actually have seen a few small shops that say they do repairs on ubuntu computers but they are smaller [17:48] That's great! :) and how about ubuntu in america? -cos in California there are a lots of other os companies, Apple, or Microsoft [17:49] I know google uses some version internally [17:50] wow [17:50] A lot of local vendors that rent out virtual personal servers offer ubuntu as an option [17:50] sounds good :) [17:51] I actually do a lot of testing for lubuntu but I have a different motherboard than one used by system76 who do sell ocmputers with ubuntu preinstalled [17:51] In Hungary in my town there are a lots of Ubuntu pc-s, Cos nobody can afford Mac, or Microsoft. The Salary is so low, in here a Microsoft Windows can be a full month salary! or 80% [17:51] but system76 is not based in california [17:51] I know it is not [17:52] that is only because I talked to ian at Scale in feburary and they said they don't offer vt-d on their desktops [17:52] we do have zareason though, which is, and they talk to each other a lot [17:52] I didn't get to talk to people from zareason who is based [17:52] I have seen ads for a place called current build but those seem a little low end [17:53] zareason has had booths at scale before [17:53] one thing is they don't offer intel graphics and 1080p screen on a laptop though [17:54] in fact, earl walked by me once and in passing slapped an ubuntu key sticker straight on my windows key, and it's still on [17:54] at scale [17:55] In Hungary laptops and PC is not a lots of money, but Softwares are :( [17:56] You can build a full game compatible strong pc by the price of the Windows 8 .( [17:56] actually the other bad thing about commercial stuff like windows is it is hard to report a bug to them and get it fixed [17:57] Yeah i know, and updates can be goes wrong :D [17:58] I really don't like windows update I like apt-get much more and that has been around for a while === danielg4 is now known as DonkeyHotei [18:22] yeah i know, in home i completely use ubuntu all the machines [18:22] but in work i have to use win :( [18:23] ianorlyn where do you live? [18:23] welcome jani_ [18:24] hi pleia2 :) [18:24] u are from the sun shiny california? :) [18:28] I live here, that's why I'm in this channel ;) [18:29] iirc you actually joined the channel even before you moved out here [18:29] yep, I had different reasons then [18:30] now I'm here because I live here [18:31] i wouldn't want to live anywhere else [18:31] but i might take a trip to philly in the fall [18:37] Torrance it is near LA but a little bit south and west [18:42] i love LA [18:42] lala land [18:42] i call it that sometimes [18:43] there's much about los angeles that i don't like [18:44] i currently live in Hungary, but i want to live in CA, but not really easy to move there fo non us citizens [18:44] but los angelenos are just as californian as us here [18:44] yeah public transport in LA isn't good [18:45] its not a pwoblem if u have a car :) [18:45] but traffic is bad [18:45] i have a favourite series wich played in LA [18:45] I don't like the 405 [18:45] traditionally, in LA everyone either drives or has someone who can driver them [18:46] *drive them [18:46] yeah [18:46] i dont have a clue how to move LA from Europe :D [18:46] which means I end up driving my parents places [18:47] your parents don't drive? [18:47] my mom did but gave it up after a crazy storing of buying a bmw running away from people she thought were chasing her [18:48] and my dad has recently had cataracts and eye problems [18:48] my mom still drove for a while after cataract surgery on both eyes [18:49] she has since given it up [18:50] how about works in CA? i heard from a friend its hard to find a job there [18:50] it can be [18:50] I am horrible at that [18:50] but many parts of the country are much worse [18:51] how worse is that? [18:51] I really find it frustrating how they expect you to be working to find a job [18:52] here in san francisco there are more and more tech jobs so the requirements become less stringent [18:55] ianorlyn why is it frustrating? [18:55] DonkeyHotei yeah cos the apple is very near :) [18:56] there's a lot more than just apple [18:56] jani_: long personal story with I am bad at interviews [18:59] yes, unfortunately for you they actually care about facial expression, body language, and speech qualities [18:59] im not bad, but in my location there is very hard to find a job, cos there is no new job. And i u get a job, you will earn maximum $420 a month or under [19:00] but the cost of living is lower, no? [19:00] no [19:00] you're in the european union [19:01] i sad it before if u buy a windows 8 its full your salary, or 80% [19:01] yeah and i hate it [19:02] i earn $521 in a month and there is nothing remains after the end of the month [19:02] and im an IT [19:03] i cant imagine the workers, and builders who earns under $300 / month [19:07] so i will live in ca if i can [19:07] but its so hard, it takes ages to move there [19:10] for jobs we hope to give priority to those already here, since more people = fewer jobs left [19:12] yeah i knwo [19:12] *know [19:13] its true [19:31] yay screenshots http://brendanperrine.com/screenshotgal/ [19:31] Title: [screenshot gallery] [19:31] cute URL [19:32] although I actually use a program called lazygal to make these and is pretty easy to use [19:32] although most people use flickr or something similar [19:32] imgur seems popular [19:33] yes that too
