[05:18] Hiya [05:26] hello markwalt [05:29] What's new? [05:41] linuxfest nw is coming up [05:41] wrote to the list about it recently [05:42] Hrm. I don't seem to have anything in my email with "linuxfest" in it. I must not be signed up on that list. Can you point me to it? [05:43] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-wa [05:51] Thanks, I signed up [05:51] cool [05:52] you can see the sparse previous posts in the archives [05:54] Yeah, I was just reading February's archive [05:55] :-) [05:57] Pidgin does *not* make the best IRC client. === mark_walt is now known as markwalt [06:01] better [06:02] Pidgin was clunky and weird. X-chat seems more like my style. [06:28] well, I'm a KDE user, and my favorite is Konversation [06:28] never liked xchat [06:28] not pidgin either [06:31] xchat seems okay, I'm still getting used to it. [06:32] I haven't been on IRC in over 15 years. And back when I was regularly using it, I used mIRC or PIRCH, on Windows. xchat reminds me a bit of mIRC, I guess. [06:33] mirc was my favorite on Win, yes [06:33] I absolutely love konvi though [06:34] I'm running XCFE. Konversation is probably usable in XFCE. I might try it. [06:39] certainly, you can use any application in the archives [06:39] xubuntu is great [06:39] I like Xubuntu a lot [06:41] we should all be happy with our tools, IMO [06:41] I say this sometimes: it's software, not religion [06:43] Tell that to Reddit [06:45] I pretty much stay off there [06:45] women are not treated will there, in general [06:46] I've noticed that. The place is pretty anti-feminist, which is weird, because it's also fairly liberal. I guess it's mostly liberal jerks. [06:47] no idea, but critiquing feminism is one thing [06:47] trolling women is another entirely
