| FreeB3ar | hello | 00:46 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | hi FreeB3ar | 05:35 |
| valorie | happy 2016 | 05:35 |
| FreeB3ar | Hello valorie | 07:40 |
| valorie | how are you, FreeB3ar? | 07:40 |
| FreeB3ar | Cold,you? | 07:40 |
| * valorie is enjoying 2016 so far | 07:40 | |
| valorie | we were at our cabin in the mountains for the new year, and it was COLD there | 07:41 |
| valorie | warmer here | 07:41 |
| valorie | are you in the Seattle area? | 07:41 |
| FreeB3ar | That sounds splendid. | 07:41 |
| * valorie lives about an hour south | 07:41 | |
| FreeB3ar | Nah, I'm in Gray's Harbor County. | 07:41 |
| valorie | beautiful country down there | 07:42 |
| valorie | cold blowing in, eh? | 07:42 |
| FreeB3ar | My room has no heat aside from a candle and my computers which don't put out that much when it's cold.lol | 07:42 |
| valorie | yikes | 07:42 |
| valorie | time to compile something big! | 07:42 |
| * FreeB3ar giggles | 07:43 | |
| valorie | my old laptop would get so warm compiling amarok | 07:43 |
| FreeB3ar | Perhaps I should. Hmm. But what? | 07:43 |
| valorie | something you want to test, or work on? | 07:43 |
| FreeB3ar | I used to adore amarok. Now I mainly use Clementine. | 07:43 |
| FreeB3ar | As if I have time.. | 07:44 |
| valorie | I got started working in KDE by testing and then writing for Amarok | 07:44 |
| FreeB3ar | oh wow. :) | 07:44 |
| valorie | play on your strengths | 07:44 |
| valorie | mine were: being a beginning, and being a good writer | 07:45 |
| FreeB3ar | I never figured out KDE 4 so that's when I switched to XFCE. | 07:45 |
| valorie | so you run xubuntu? | 07:45 |
| * valorie is a kubuntero | 07:45 | |
| FreeB3ar | With 15.10 I actually switched from that to regular Ubuntu and hated Unity still so I've only installed Cinnamon so far to check it out VS my LMDE netbook. | 07:46 |
| valorie | I don't like unity either, but I've been a KDE fan from linux day one | 07:47 |
| valorie | which was Mandrake, back in the day | 07:47 |
| FreeB3ar | Ah,I remember Mandrake. | 07:48 |
| FreeB3ar | I think I used KDE with Sabayon nearly a decade ago. Wow, it's been that long,eh? | 07:49 |
| valorie | I'm loving plasma 5 | 07:49 |
| FreeB3ar | 5 | 07:50 |
| FreeB3ar | ?! | 07:50 |
| FreeB3ar | muhstaguts...when did that come out? I'm so out of the loop.lol | 07:50 |
| valorie | I've been using it as a beta for almost a year before Kubuntu released it by default | 07:51 |
| FreeB3ar | hm.Well then.. | 07:51 |
| valorie | first I used the neon repo which installed in /opt | 07:51 |
| valorie | we're about to release 5.5 | 07:52 |
| valorie | a bit late, but we'll get there | 07:53 |
| FreeB3ar | Maybe I should check it out again. | 07:53 |
| valorie | costs nothing to burn a liveUSB | 07:53 |
| FreeB3ar | Any idea if KDE runs smooth-ish-ly on Win7/8.1/10? | 07:53 |
| FreeB3ar | If you've got one that is. :P | 07:53 |
| valorie | sure | 07:54 |
| valorie | Qt 5 is lighter on the system | 07:54 |
| valorie | well, you can burn a DVD then | 07:55 |
| valorie | I think it's always good to "try before you buy" | 07:55 |
| valorie | so to speak | 07:55 |
| valorie | make sure that your equipment works, etc. | 07:55 |
| FreeB3ar | Good! My old beaver beast box only has 4GB.Eventually I may max it out at 32GB if I've got the money to spare. | 07:56 |
| FreeB3ar | Hey,My equipment is working well thank you. | 07:56 |
| valorie | I mean in a Kubuntu session | 07:56 |
| valorie | nothing against your equipment | 07:56 |
| * FreeB3ar giggles. | 07:57 | |
| FreeB3ar | So tell me about these meetups. | 07:59 |
| valorie | we usually meet in Seattle, unfortunately | 07:59 |
| valorie | long drive for ya | 07:59 |
| FreeB3ar | I hear it's about five hours...and I drive an Explorer so lol@gas | 08:01 |
| valorie | sometimes we meet in a makerspace, and have presentations | 08:01 |
| valorie | sometimes just at a pub and eat and drink beer | 08:01 |
| FreeB3ar | hey that's pretty cool. I used to go to the nyc2600 meetings but it was never anything fancy. | 08:01 |
| valorie | coolest thing about it is that somebody else started it | 08:02 |
| valorie | :-) | 08:02 |
| FreeB3ar | hahah | 08:02 |
| valorie | oh, were you asking about the KDE meetups? | 08:02 |
| valorie | or ubuntu | 08:02 |
| FreeB3ar | I didn't even know about the KDE meetups. | 08:02 |
| valorie | because the local KDE folks are active | 08:03 |
| FreeB3ar | I'm fresh in WA. Been here less than two weeks. | 08:03 |
| valorie | and I'm not saying that ubuntu people aren't, but somehow we don't manage to meet up for like 2 years | 08:03 |
| valorie | except at linuxfest northwest | 08:03 |
| FreeB3ar | hah wow. | 08:03 |
| valorie | even the portland people come north for that | 08:04 |
| FreeB3ar | We need to really get people using GNU/Linux.. | 08:04 |
| valorie | have you come to it before? | 08:04 |
| FreeB3ar | Nope. My buddies have gone.I've only been to a few HOPEs. | 08:04 |
| valorie | http://lfnw.org | 08:04 |
| valorie | every april in Bellingham | 08:05 |
| valorie | we (KDE) had a table at HOPE when it was in Seattle | 08:05 |
| valorie | a year or so ago | 08:05 |
| valorie | that was fun | 08:05 |
| FreeB3ar | That's a false HOPE if it's not at Hotel Penn. | 08:05 |
| valorie | oops, I meant LISA | 08:06 |
| valorie | I've never been to HOPE | 08:06 |
| FreeB3ar | It's awesome. | 08:06 |
| valorie | SCALE is coming up in a few weeks, but somehow I can't make myself go down for it | 08:08 |
| valorie | family stuff happening here | 08:08 |
| FreeB3ar | awh | 08:09 |
| FreeB3ar | There are so many events I've never heard of. | 08:09 |
| valorie | https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/13x/its-scale-13x-slated-february-2015 | 08:11 |
