[07:17] <ducasse> good morning, all
[08:00] <EriC^^> morning all
[08:02] <ducasse> morning EriC^^ - all well today?
[08:02] <EriC^^> morning ducasse
[08:02] <EriC^^> yes thanks, yourself?
[08:02] <ducasse> all good here, just freezing cold
[08:04] <jink> It is!
[08:04] <jink> :/
[08:05] <jink> For my dutch pals: belastingaangifte!
[08:50] <lotuspsychje> bbl work guys
[11:43] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:12] <jink> Hi BluesKaj.  How've you been?
[12:13] <BluesKaj> Hi jink coping as well I can, doing ok ...how are you?
[12:18] <jink> Fine, mostly.  Close to another depression, I think.  Things feel wrongish.  That mostly means it's about to hit me within 2 months.  But it's been like that all my life, so I'm not really complaining (although that might sound weird to some).
[12:18] <jink> BluesKaj: How are the kids?
[12:19] <BluesKaj> they're doing ok too
[12:19] <jink> Oh, lunch break in 10 minutes, btw, so if I'm gone all of a sudden, that'll be why.
[12:20]  * BluesKaj nods
[12:20] <ducasse> hi BluesKaj - wb :)
[12:21] <jink> It's weird, though.  I remember my dad dying (15 years ago) and my brother and I are "ok", I guess.  My mom's been alone ever since, which is fine, but weird after having spent most of your lives together.
[12:21] <BluesKaj>  hey ducasse, thanks , how's things ?
[12:21] <jink> (For reference, I'm 40.)
[12:22] <ducasse> good here, but cold
[12:23] <BluesKaj> mild here for the last 10 days or so, snow is melting away
[12:25] <ducasse> hope that will happen here soon, but it's been cold lately
[12:25] <BluesKaj> looks like an early spring atm, but march can be snowy and coid here
[13:22] <jink> Re.

[19:46] <Carll> I used to experiment with ubuntu on a live cd, slowly progressed to servers.
[19:46] <lotuspsychje> nite nite guys
[19:46] <Carll> lotuspsychje: night!
[19:46] <lotuspsychje> add to favs Carll and ttyl
[19:46] <Carll> spending a good 4-5 hours to download the .iso because internet wasnt the best.
[19:48] <Bashing-om> Carll: I came into ubuntu from server ( slackware ), and gradually graduated to using any GUI, Still not real comfortable with a GUI .. but willing to learn better :)
[19:54] <ducasse> hiya Bashing-om - long time no see :) still not smoking? ;)
[19:56] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Well,. Better said .. controlled withdrawal .. still not quit quitting .. BUT not getting easy either .
[19:57] <Bashing-om> ducasse: I relapsed yesterday .. and today I pay the price :P
[19:58] <ducasse> Bashing-om: well, you have my sympathy... got to quit myself soon, not looking forward to it
[20:00] <Bashing-om> ducasse: The things we do to ourselves ... I just do not 'know' that the trade off of not smoking is worth the pain .
[20:01] <ducasse> Bashing-om: maybe not, but i'm not entirely convinced that smoking is worth the immense cost anymore
[20:03] <Bashing-om> ducasse: I tell ya like I feel .. No ! smoking is not worth the cost in so many ways . Smoking is a pacifier ... just how much of a baby am I ?
[20:07] <ducasse> Bashing-om: well, i say that, but still roll another one after dinner :)
[20:16] <Bashing-om> ducasse: After eating is my tough time too .. Just have to push through it .. one way or another .
[20:22] <ducasse> Bashing-om: you stopped doing a couple of hits every few hours?
[20:25] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Yeah, still working on increasing the time span :) Presently stuck on the 2 hours + a few minutes .
