| <cafuego> hi MatthewV | |
| <MatthewV> hi again cafuego | |
| <MatthewV> gtg now... :( | |
| <MatthewV> klepas_Zzz, when you come around here, take a look at http://www.matthewv.id.au/makethemove/demo and change to the 'opacity' theme... its a quick implementation of your ideas on opacity, and it is totally unsupported in ie | |
| <Fujitsu> I note that in the opacity theme, some elements move slightly on hover. | |
| <klepas_Zzz> MatthewV: i like it :) | |

| <Tatey> ,-O | |
| <Tatey> O(_)) ubuntu | |
| <Tatey> `-O | |
| <klepas> Tatey: hehe :) | |
| <KatteKrab> hi all - I've got some love to share... quotes from a recent convert. | |
| <Fujitsu> Evening. | |
| <KatteKrab> here's news from a recent convert "I am GAIMing you! I am working in Ubuntu, it is vvvvvvvvveeeerrrry impressive, works like a dream" | |
| <KatteKrab> so I ask "what are you liking about it?" and she says "liking: it is ridiculously fast, everything is very intuitive, easy to use, and I like the philosophy behind it" | |
| <KatteKrab> hey Fujitsu | |
| <bimberi> KatteKrab: fantastic! | |
| <KatteKrab> :) | |
| <bimberi> dream customer ;) | |
| <KatteKrab> yep -another satisfied customer!! | |
| <KatteKrab> once she's had a chance to settle in, I'll probably send her here to ask questions if she can't find me :) | |
| <KatteKrab> minor annoyance - openoffice doesn't use the same open/save dialog I'm more used to using. | |
| <Fujitsu> Why not? | |
| <Fujitsu> Which one are you used to? | |
| <cafuego> Gnome | |
| <cafuego> A lot of Linux apps use their own open/save dialog; it's highly annoying. | |
| <Fujitsu> Hmm. | |
| <Fujitsu> OpenOffice uses GNOME save/open dialogs if you use the GNOME version, I'm sure. | |
| <cafuego> Hmm yes, mine does. | |
| <Fujitsu> Yes. | |
| <Fujitsu> It does... | |
| <KatteKrab> mine is clearly stupid then! :) maybe I need to upgrade or something. | |
| <Fujitsu> You're using Ubuntu, KatteKrab? | |
| <KatteKrab> of course I am ;) | |
| <Fujitsu> Make sure you have the openoffice.org-gnome or something like that installed. | |
| <KatteKrab> cafuego is doing things for me. | |
| <cafuego> done | |
| <cafuego> openoffice.org2-gnome | |
| <Fujitsu> Aha. | |
| * KatteKrab waves arms around in a useless fashion | |
| <Fujitsu> Yes, that. | |
| <Fujitsu> Remotely, cafuego? | |
| <cafuego> Fujitsu: Technically yes | |
| <KatteKrab> he's just there | |
| <Fujitsu> Ah. | |
| * KatteKrab points at next desk | |
| <cafuego> In the same office, but via ssh ;-) | |
| <Fujitsu> You're both at CC? | |
| <KatteKrab> *nodnod* | |
| <cafuego> We're both CC. | |
| <cafuego> CC == us. | |
| <Fujitsu> Aha. | |
| <Fujitsu> You are CC, or part of CC? | |
| <KatteKrab> the other two employees can't type in english | |
| <Fujitsu> ... | |
| <cafuego> We each have 50% of the shares. | |
| <Fujitsu> Aha. | |
| <Fujitsu> What exactly does CC do? | |
| <KatteKrab> web development and hosting | |
| <KatteKrab> research | |
| <KatteKrab> facilitation | |
| <Fujitsu> Ah, OK. | |
| <Fujitsu> Fun. | |
| <cafuego> CC produces magnetic patterns from coffee grounds. | |
| <KatteKrab> :) | |
| <cafuego> And modulated electron streams. | |
| <Fujitsu> A....ha.... | |
| <KatteKrab> and currently - CC is burning 50 OpenCDs for Open Source Victoria's business briefing session tomorrow | |
| <Fujitsu> Ooh, nice. | |
| <cafuego> and system adminstration/monitoring, currently baking 50 copies of TheOpenCD | |
| <Fujitsu> OSV sounds useful. | |
| <KatteKrab> OSV is doing some cool stuff :) | |
| <Fujitsu> I should really get properly involved in the whole Victorian FOSS thing. | |
| <cafuego> Are you sure? ;-) | |
| <Fujitsu> Er, yeah. | |
| <Fujitsu> I'm not doing much useful stuff... Just being a MOTU-wannabe. | |
| <cafuego> Come to the next LUV meeting. | |
| <Fujitsu> Er, unlikely. I've got parents. | |
| <Fujitsu> :( | |
| <cafuego> So do I, but can still go ;-) | |
| <Fujitsu> Ha. Ha. | |
| <cafuego> seriously though, make them let you go to a meeting | |
| <Fujitsu> I can try. | |
| <Fujitsu> Dad isn | |
| <Fujitsu> *isn't toooooo anti-FOSS, he introduced me to it... So I can try. | |
| <cafuego> There's normally 50-odd people and it tends to be fun :-) | |
| <KatteKrab> why don't you convince your dad to come with you? you'd both be welcome to the luv meeting I'm sure :) | |
| <cafuego> Dunno yet though what presentation there'll be next time. | |
| <KatteKrab> Fujitsu: well you should go to the SFD thing kylie's organising in the town hall. | |
| <KatteKrab> Sept will mostly be the Annual General Meeting, and stuff about SoftwareFreedom Day - il presidente is online - I'll go ask him | |
| <Fujitsu> OK. | |
| <klepas> hey KatteKrab :) | |
| <KatteKrab> hey klepas :) how are ya? | |
| <klepas> good :) | |
| <klepas> what's this about you and CC? | |
| <cafuego> whut? whut? | |
| <KatteKrab> what do you mean me and CC? cc as in creative contingencies | |
| <klepas> Creative Commons? | |
| <klepas> oh | |
| <klepas> :) | |
| <KatteKrab> *grin* | |

| <KatteKrab> oh no... the cats? | |
| <KatteKrab> cc as in crusty computers | |
| <klepas> cc as in Creative Commons methinks | |

| <KatteKrab> creative commons is extremely radical :) I love it. | |

| <nikon> Hi, does has anyone come across synaptic only loading into memory and not running properly? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> nikon, i havent heard of it | |
| <nikon> yer nps im checking on the global channel | |
| <nikon> its very strange | |
| <nikon> doing updates see wat happens then | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. if you have issues perhaps you should close synaptic, check there are no instances of dpkg/apt/synaptic running then tr restarng it | |
| <nikon> have tried all that | |
| <nikon> i think its to do with apt cache or something | |
| <nikon> my package lists | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wonders where his family have gone... and if they will be back for dinner o_0 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> nikon, what exactly/roughly happens? | |
| <nikon> lol | |
| <nikon> um i load synaptic | |
| <nikon> it asks for the password | |
| <nikon> the "eggtimer" comes up | |
| <nikon> then it just dissapears | |
| <nikon> go to procces manager | |
| <nikon> synaptic is runnign with full CPU | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> and its repeatable? | |
| <nikon> yep | |
| <nikon> keeps happening | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> just a tick, i'll find you the gdb wiki page | |
| <nikon> ok | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser discovers a dist-upgrade+firefox=more then a minute to search :$ | |
| <bimberi> nikon: 'sudo killall synaptic' ?? | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> yay for broken packages :/ | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> anyway, brb. rebooting | |
| <MatthewV> klepas, ping! | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser giggles | |
| * MatthewV groans :P | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser puts another truss in MatthewV | |
| * MatthewV ponders what to do | |
| <MatthewV> Kamping_Kaiser, shenki was telling you about apport wasn't he? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> MatthewV, yeh. | |
| <MatthewV> Kamping_Kaiser, had any problems, or havn't you upgraded yet? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> dont have any issues, but i'm not sure if i have that plugin he was talking about | |
| <MatthewV> Kamping_Kaiser, were all his issues related to xchat auto-away? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> MatthewV, afaik yes. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> rather, iirc yes | |
| <MatthewV> Kamping_Kaiser, oh ok, i thought he just said it gave him plenty of issues, cause I've had it installed since this morning with no probs... maybe I'll try enabling that plugin ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <MatthewV> or maybe not... | |
| <MatthewV> main reason being i don't feel like finding the plugin :P | |
| *** Fujitsu_ is now known as Fujitsu | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :P | |
| <bimberi> Tatey: thanks for that link! | |
| <MatthewV> bimberi, interesting xgl demos by the same guy on the youtube page... some things i hadn't seen before | |
| <MatthewV> btw, elive had an interesting way of showing that ad by ibm, they had a demo that had 5 different mplayer windows at once, all displaying the same thing :) | |
| <MatthewV> what's a good download manager | |
| <MatthewV> i need one that can throttle my downloads (I know that sounds stupid, but... ) | |
| <bimberi> MatthewV: i think i found it - the xgl demo called "Ubuntu Linux" - yep very nice | |
| <MatthewV> bimberi, yep :) did you see part two... some interesting things there with gl elements floating above everything else that i'd never seen before | |
| <bimberi> MatthewV: but i don't know much about download managers sorry :) | |
| <MatthewV> bimberi, no probs, i found a front-end to wget which I'm hoping will do the trick | |
| <bimberi> MatthewV: no not yet, it's still "happy hour" here. I'll have a look once the boys are in bed :) | |
| <MatthewV> bimberi, i just throttled it to 45 kB/s.. and now that the laptop's packed up, i remove the throttle :) | |
| <Tatey> bimberi: I thought it was completely random | |
| <MatthewV> not as fast as bittorrent though :( | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser tries to work out how to make a ruler thats going to be real lenth | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser uses monitor as rough guide | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. this comp has a ~7" by ~10" video card | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> with ram spots | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, ping? what are the odds of me finding an adaptor/new vid card for a DEC 3000? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> it takes a 3 pin cable - like the sun montirs, just without all the small pins | |
| <siccness> Hey folks! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, :) | |
| <quail> hi siccness | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> is there a difference between a battery with "cr3032" and "br3032" printed on the top? both are panasonic, and have 3V printed on them | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser cares, because this battery goes into my alpha :/ | |
| <siccness> Anyone here somewhat creative? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, lots of them are... pity your stuck with me :) | |
| <siccness> hahaha | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> know anything about batteries? :S | |
| <quail> creative in what way? | |
| <quail> Kamping_Kaiser: have you got both types there? | |
| <siccness> I need someone to think of an innovative idea for a business to make it easier to use, or cheaper etc.. eg: a forklift was invented to make manufacturaring shit simpler) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> quail, i'm taking out a br2032, and the closest thing i have is a cr2032 (closest, i asume) | |
| <quail> Kamping_Kaiser: look at them both closly | |
| <quail> i think one is thinker than the other | |
| <quail> *thicker | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser goes and finds the first battery :/ where did i put it.... | |
| <quail> been awhile since i have seen a br3032 | |
| <quail> cr3032 are about the roundness of a 10 cent piece | |
| <quail> sorry cr2032 is the roundness of a 10 cent | |
| <klepas> someone wanted me? | |
| <quail> most the mobo's i got use the cr2032 cell | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> quail, they are /slightly/ different shapes, the br is more rounded on the bottom :( | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> klepas, if your creative siccness does ;) | |
| <quail> Kamping_Kaiser: i buy mobo cells from the chemist | |
| <quail> Kamping_Kaiser: i buy mobo cells from the chemist and you will pay couple dollars for it | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i'm not interested in buying batteries :( itshare has 2 dozen batteries, do you think i have a br2032? no! | |
| <quail> you might have to wait till you can get one :-) | |
| <siccness> this damn well sucks | |
| <siccness> 5 hrs tryna think of an innovation | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> actually its only 16 batters, here. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, an inovation? | |
| <siccness> yeah | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> quail, i want a working alpha :( | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, what do you mean? | |
| <siccness> i need to think of an innovation a business could use to make life more efficient, or effective | |
| <quail> siccness, what business you want to create? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> innovation 'real world' or 'what you get told before you get screwed by it blokes charging $1200 /hour'? | |
| <siccness> quail: it doesnt matter, the whole idea of the project is to think of an innovation | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser passes siccness apt-get -b | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :P | |
| <quail> siccness, oh it a school project | |
| <siccness> ^ | |
| <siccness> Kamping_Kaiser: what's that mean? :) | |
| <siccness> me's still usin emerge1 | |
| <siccness> s/1/! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, :O | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> it means 'download source and build' | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> its gentoo for debian :P | |
| <quail> siccness: how about do a project on mailing cd's of OS distros with a ecommerce web front | |
| <siccness> do you get to watch lines of compiling code fly passed you, as fellow distributor lovers praise how you learn so much from watching it? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol. dunno. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser hasnt tried in recent times | |
| <quail> siccness: and then you can help ubuntu-au to put it into action :-) | |
| <siccness> quail: yeah but that's not really what the teachers lookin for | |
| <siccness> here's the example she gave us: a forklift was invented - helps pickup, drop off crap, can reach high-areas | |
| <siccness> so i need to think of something liket hat | |
| <quail> siccness: a hover board (save the use of ladders) | |
| <siccness> oooo i like that | |
| <quail> good for wearhouses | |
| <siccness> very intelligent idea, be good for painters as they can put their paint on it too | |
| <quail> siccness: it be good for them big document warehouses when you need to find a box of evidents | |
| <siccness> it'd be good for me to hover to my car, rather than walk :) | |
| <quail> etc | |
| <quail> yep :-) | |
| * quail thinks been watching to much back to the future | |
| <bimberi> Tatey: hard to disagree :) but it's captivating and finishes well :) | |
| <quail> siccness: i gather it does not matter how futuristic this idea is? | |
| <siccness> Not sure, either way I hope to do this | |
| <siccness> Just have to get my group to agree | |
| <siccness> if they say no, ill split from the group | |
| <quail> hehe | |
| <siccness> i cant waste another 4 weeks doing nothings | |
| <siccness> *nothing | |
| <quail> and do it solo | |
| <siccness> yeah | |
| <siccness> im prepared to | |
| <quail> k | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: quite slim | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: i'll have a look in the shed | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :/ thanks | |
| <adhoc> which model? as there were a few different MIPS based machines around that time with, i think, four different buses | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> erm. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> its heavy, and the lid comes off :| | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser looks properly | |
| <adhoc> does it have the d15 shped connector with 3 coax sockets in it? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> for video? yeh | |
| <adhoc> do you have cables? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> no, theres the problem | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> *well* | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> not that i know of... big difference ;) | |
| <Draicone> Anyone know why there hasn't been much activity on the mailing lists recently? | |
| <Draicone> yama_: Are you ghosted? | |
| <siccness> Good lord, the PS3 is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in the console-world | |

| <siccness> Look at the toughness it shows | |
| <purserj> And remember, ubuntu-au's very own pschulz01 will be featuring tonight | |
| <adhoc> siccness: but to be fair its one of the few america coupes that handled | |
| <siccness> it just screams "get the .... out my way" | |
| <adhoc> but not off the showroom floor | |
| <adhoc> siccness: it screems "my penis is too small, i have a fast car instead!" | |
| <siccness> not at all | |
| <siccness> it's a passion | |
| <MatthewV> bimberi, so did i, never seen that before ;) | |
| <adhoc> siccness: some on , it was the height of the muscle car era | |
| <adhoc> s/some/come/ | |
| <siccness> iheh | |
| <siccness> so if someone offered that to you | |
| <siccness> or a mini | |
| <siccness> you'd take the mini? | |
| <lucychili> i would | |
| <purserj> siccness, adhoc I think you're both missing the essential question, can it run Linux? | |
| <siccness> rofl | |
| <adhoc> siccness: everything went down hill for the car industry after that in the USA, if not becuase everything had a 5l v8 and didn't handle | |
| <klepas> huh? | |
| <siccness> shit i wouldnt be racing it | |
| * klepas is annoyed at this irssi theme :( | |
| <siccness> it'd be my weekend cruiser | |
| <adhoc> purserj: who cares, it's not more sophisticated that a light globe | |
| <purserj> klepas, how can irssi have a theme? its console based | |
| <adhoc> purserj: they run too rough to run any kind of analoge eletrinics from the era ! | |
| <thoreauputic> purserj: pretty colours | |
| <adhoc> purserj: the colours don't talk to you!??!?! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> oooooh "DEC 3000/600. Alpha 21064 CPU @ 175 MHz" http://www.phys.ufl.edu/~prescott/linux/alpha/dec3000-sysinfo.html | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: i just remembered, those things are turbo bus | |
| <thoreauputic> purserj: http://irssi.rulez.org/ | |
| <thoreauputic> :) | |
| <adhoc> i'll have to talk to dave at work about them =) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, that url ^^ look sgood. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cool :) | |
| <klepas> purserj: yea, the colour themes | |
| <klepas> mine fits with my gtk colours | |
| <klepas> only problem is that there is no highlighting when people use my nick | |
| <klepas> and i've tried to hack the theme and make it | |
| <klepas> but i've failed | |
| <klepas> many times :( | |
| <thoreauputic> I have a clever one by myrrtifrom #ubuntu-offtopic that uses red @ to look like roses ;) ( If you like that kind of thing) | |
| <thoreauputic> klepas: there's a /set command for highlighting and beeps etc - can't remember it atm but /help set might tell you | |
| <klepas> thoreauputic: yea, i tried through that too | |
| <klepas> after a while i just gave up | |
| <yama> Draicone: what do you mean by "ghosted"? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> whtas a "db15 connector"? sounds familar, but i dont know how :/ | |
| <yama> a 15-pin connector, often used for serial connections | |
| <Draicone> yama: You have two nicks logged into the channel, one with your nick and one with _ appended | |
| <Draicone> generally it means you got disconnected without leaving the channel | |
| <yama> Draicone: yeah, I'm logged in at both work and home. I'm at home now | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ah, serial ports | |
| <Draicone> command is ./msg nickserv ghost yama <password> from the ghosted account | |
| <thoreauputic> Draicone: no, you can have more than one nick at once | |
| <Draicone> Oh | |
| <Draicone> Ok | |
| <Draicone> thoreauputic: You can, but if you get disconnected without leaving and reconnect your IRC client tries a second nick | |
| <thoreauputic> Draicone: yes , I know :) | |
| <Draicone> thus having two nicks on the channel | |
| <thoreauputic> Draicone: but for example I could be logged on from here and from a shell somewhere else | |
| <thoreauputic> Draicone: so both nicks would be active | |
| <Draicone> thoreauputic: in which case you would deliberately choose a similar yet different nick | |
| * ajmitch sometimes does that | |
| * Draicone only has ghosting problems every so often. | |
| <thoreauputic> Draicone: I just have a _ one the second one, and link them to keep the same mask/ op privs | |
| * Draicone has so many ghost kills that he would be nickserv's worst nightmare if there ever was one | |
| * ajmitch_ waves | |
| <Draicone> hmm | |
| * Draicone doubts anything but a bot can annoy nickserv | |
| <thoreauputic> ajmitch: 0/ | |
| * Draicone sets his purpose in life to bugging chanserv instead | |
| <Draicone> '/msg chanserv op #ubuntu-au dammit!' :D | |
| * Draicone clearly doesn't have the right access level. | |
| * Draicone hops on to #wikipediacabal and is happily auto-opped. | |
| <thoreauputic> Draicone: when I was on dialup I could /msg nickserv ghost in my sleep ;) Every time my ISP cut me off I used to do that | |
| <quail> remember people tonight in 15 mins the localfoss podcast will be starting | |
| * Draicone reminisces his 6 years on dialup. | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser what is the format of the case for the 3000 ? | |
| * Draicone reminisces his 12 total years of lifespan and promptly enters a state of chronic depression. | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> i cant get it there! | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: a two legged one or an eight legged one? | |
| <thoreauputic> Kamping_Kaiser: a whole new meaning for "web spider", huh ? | |
| <lucychili> karl that huntsman has been there over a month | |
| <yama> http://extlab1.entnem.ufl.edu/IH8PCS/vol7/snake.htm | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lucychili, probably... i still dont like it in there | |
| <lucychili> point being that if you were going to kill him youd have done it already, him hiding in the puter is probably not a determining factor | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: its got to make a home somewhere and bring up the kids | |
| <lucychili> =) | |
| <lucychili> hirise | |
| <lucychili> room with a view | |
| <adhoc> its paying its rent by eating other insects | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, well. its about 3or 4 inches tall, maybe a bit over 20" wide and deep | |
| <lucychili> and pooping ornamentally on your mboard | |
| <adhoc> and leaving the rotting carcases under your MoBo | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, all the insects in there are stuck in my cpu fan... | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser waits to hear 'crackle crack' and see a seriopusly pissed of huntsman come out and attack | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: conveniently placed shredder for desposing opf the lumpy bits | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :| | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wonders if he can convince someone to clean said pc and remove spider at the same time | |
| <lucychili> feed him your fingernail clippings | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser is over being surrounded by spiders | |
| <adhoc> you know the chewy bits that get stuck between your teeth | |
| <lucychili> he needs a snack with fibre | |
| <adhoc> lucychili: who Kamping_Kaiser ? | |
| <lucychili> praps you could post an occasional hair or two in the slot | |
| <adhoc> nesting material =) | |
| <lucychili> you could be his ikea | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :S | |
| <lucychili> =) | |
| <thoreauputic> lucychili: dangerous if he can't work out the assembly instructions | |
| <purserj> okay we're streaming out some nice "ye olde english" type music as a lead in tonight | |
| <lucychili> eep | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser goes to find spare key | |
| <purserj> eta is about ten minutes | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser is the pheerd of spiders near him. | |
| * thoreauputic wonders why his adsl s/n ratio goes to hell without any apparent pattern or reason | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> over there *waves any distance away* is fine, near me is not :S | |
| <adhoc> purserj: we have noise | |
| <purserj> good noise or bad noise? | |
| <adhoc> sounds like MIDI morris dancing music? | |
| <adhoc> could just be our little speakers tho | |
| <purserj> yeah, its a bit morrisy | |
| <adhoc> sort of celtic | |
| <quail> sounds good here i like this sort of music | |
| <lucychili> its a bit staticy | |
| <adhoc> a bit of distortion | |
| <purserj> fart! | |
| <lucychili> hehehe | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bandwidth loss to irc | |
| <lucychili> better | |
| <adhoc> quite a bit of background noise? | |
| <lucychili> it is better | |
| <adhoc> there is less background noise =) | |
| <nikon> ne 1 had synaptic just die on them | |
| <nikon> loads into mem uses full cpu | |
| <nikon> but dosent show up? | |
| <lucychili> volume is not on | |
| <lucychili> yay | |
| <nikon> huh? | |
| <nikon> ohh :P | |
| <lucychili> http://radio.localfoss.org:8000/osota.mp3 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> wonder if letting the huntsman listen to bill hicks is a good idea | |
| <bimberi> Kamping_Kaiser: it should be listening to lucychili (on osota) !! | |
| <lucychili> um um um um | |
| <purserj> yeah and I cut out a heap too | |
| <lucychili> amazing | |
| * bimberi doesn't notice them | |
| <bimberi> ... until they're mentioned ;p | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bimberi, it cant, i dont have the bandwidth | |
| <bimberi> kk: k | |
| * lucychili thinks the um chorale will have stacks of ness in no time | |
| * Fujitsu 's mind explodes at trying to interpret that. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser lols | |
| <lucychili> unfortunately karl probably understands it | |
| <lucychili> jpurser is collecting our ums | |
| <lucychili> and going to make soem fierce music with it | |
| <lucychili> scratch mix ums | |
| <lucychili> at the rate we are umming he will have enough ums in no time | |
| <adhoc> purserj: awesome guys =) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> WOOOOT ! i have a working alpha again :D. now with 30 gig of hdds :D. off to test the cmos battery. | |
| <MotherLUG> pschulz01, PING | |
| <Fujitsu> Kamping_Kaiser, are you collecting every type of machine in history!? | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: =) | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: between Kamping_Kaiser and myself we are doing a pretty good job | |
| <Fujitsu> What have you got? | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: don't start me off ... | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ditto. | |
| <Fujitsu> Oooh dear. | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: you asked for it | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Fujitsu, lets just say i have more pcs of various sorts then friends ;) | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: MicroV | |
| <bimberi> adhoc: well we've just heard about the Macs :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Fujitsu, i might have as many comps as there are people in here | |
| <Fujitsu> Nice! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> the CMOS BATTERY WORKS! | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser hugs Fujitsu | |
| * Fujitsu hugs Kamping_Kaiser back. | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: MicroVAV II, Mac SE/30, apollo 700, Sun 3/60, sparcstation 5, ultra 5, ultra 10, ultra enterprise 2, mac 6100, 7100, 8100, 840, 700, 601, 475, SE, powerbook 185, 145 | |

| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: itshare had a stack, i missed out | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> 2 from you, 1 from itshare | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bugger :S | |
| <adhoc> is that a good thing or ... | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> depends what you missed out on | |
| <adhoc> i got the vax | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> because anything good i would take ;P | |
| <adhoc> and lucychili baught home the little vax | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> oh, lyns giving me a rack, as soon as i can pick it up ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. now the alpha Works, i suppose i should do some work :/ | |
| <quail> pschulz01: ping | |
| <quail> pschulz01: MotherLUG looking for you | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: and lucychili also baught home the sun3's | |
| <lucychili> =[ | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <adhoc> but they are such cool machnies! | |
| <lucychili> yup but jokes on you now thatits house inspection time | |
| * adhoc would like to build his own VME based machines | |
| <adhoc> like the sun3 | |
| <adhoc> lucychili: true | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser looked at the sun T1000 and T2000's online today *omg* i want one | |
| <adhoc> the sun 1U T1000 ? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yeh. | |
| <lucychili> thats just your inner huntsman talking karl | |
| <adhoc> we have one in the dev room at work, running solaris 10 | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wipes drool off table | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> O | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :O | |
| <adhoc> they are way too noisy | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> is it loud fans, or lots of fans? | |
| <lucychili> =) | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: yes | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> oh :/ | |
| <adhoc> its 1U, so small fans spinning like crazy | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> small ! always == noisy, but oh well | |
| <adhoc> the two X2100s are are quieter than the one T1000 | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser slaps sun | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> mmm. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser hasnt looked at the x2100's specs | |
| <siccness> Damn geek talk, it's passed 9pm | |
| <siccness> ! | |
| <adhoc> what? | |
| <adhoc> its only 22:22 | |
| <siccness> Is Sth Aus 30mins behind EST? | |
| <adhoc> siccness: its a geeky channel, in a geeky country ;) | |
| <siccness> I always think it's 1hr :) | |
| <adhoc> siccness: you're in the channel ... | |
| <siccness> yeah, twas a joke ;) | |
| <siccness> a poor one :) | |
| <adhoc> tis ok ... | |
| <siccness> of course :) | |
| <adhoc> siccness: what projects you been working on? | |
| <siccness> under ubuntu-au? none | |
| <adhoc> what geeky good-ness you been getting up to? | |
| <siccness> at tafe? too many | |
| <adhoc> siccness: at home or at work ... | |
| <siccness> well at tafe I'm mostly dealing with project management stuff | |
| <siccness> at home i'm just playin around with linux tools | |
| <siccness> and trying to learn novell a bit more | |
| <adhoc> SLED 10 is out | |
| <adhoc> one of the guys at work was ranting about it | |
| * adhoc got a hat! | |
| <siccness> a SLED hat? :) | |
| <adhoc> yup | |
| <adhoc> its a nice one too | |
| <siccness> I want an ubuntu/gentoo t-shirt | |
| <adhoc> it has "10" on the front and "your linux is ready" on the back | |
| <siccness> but the fact remains that im not prepared to pay $50 for em | |
| <adhoc> and descrete Novel on the side | |
| <adhoc> tis a lot huh? | |
| <siccness> not $50, but it's pretty expensive for a tshirt | |
| <siccness> as im not one to really pay more than $10 for a tshirt | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser needs to try novells suse rpm on ubuntu | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> the one for their netware crap | |
| * adhoc was thinking about putting the desktop on his lappy | |
| <adhoc> to see what its like | |
| <adhoc> and if the wireless works | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> SLED? | |
| <adhoc> yeah | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: you played with tat recently? | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser was underwhelmed... shenki and myself both i think | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, i did the installfest with linuxsa | |
| <adhoc> n | |
| <adhoc> and? | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser has a sled 10 dvd | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> (eval) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i was underwhelmed ;) | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser debates installing suse in the first partitoin on his hdd, which he had set aside for windows | |
| <siccness> windows is good for gaming | |
| * adhoc will wait and see how dave at work likes it | |
| <siccness> and we all know how fun gaming can be | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser has no probs with quake 3 | |
| <adhoc> siccness: who cares? | |
| <siccness> uhh | |
| <siccness> well someone who might wish to play games | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, back out now | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ;) | |
| <siccness> would probably leave it for windows | |
| <siccness> back out frmo what? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> arguing with adhoc about the use of games. i can see it getting messy fast ;) | |
| <adhoc> siccness: get yourself a vt100 or similar and get yourself a copy of nethack|moria|angband|zork|dungeon | |
| <siccness> or | |
| <siccness> get yourself a copy of v8 supercars 3 | |
| <adhoc> plug the terminal into you linux peeecee and set getty and login | |
| <adhoc> siccness: pfffffffffft | |
| <siccness> yeah, i'd love to see a vote between nethack and oblivion or whatever kids play these days | |
| <siccness> and see who wins | |
| <siccness> :) | |
| <TheMuso> c | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: new games are the same as games from ten years ago, just with more pixels | |
| <TheMuso> damn my kvm is being a bitch tonight | |
| <xice> siccness, plz dont start on the v8s | |
| <siccness> it's not about v8s | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, agree | |
| <adhoc> damn agrcultural tech from the 1890s | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> but people like pixels (remmber bofh: monitor needs a new box of pixles) | |
| <siccness> you can't honestly expect every single gamer in the world to shift to linux to play nethack | |
| <siccness> that's rediculous | |
| <adhoc> siccness: true | |
| <adhoc> siccness: there is also frozen bubble | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, i was willing to, why arnt they :P | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> Kamping_Kaiser: because people fork out $700 for a video card | |
| <siccness> and they aint wasting it on nethack :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, i had a kid ranting at me for 6 hours today about his hardware, dont tell me what it costs :P | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hey, nethack could use about 1/500th of the video memory! | |
| <adhoc> 8 k | |
| <siccness> hell im with you guys, all the games these days prwetty much suck | |
| <adhoc> versus 265MB on my 6600gt | |
| <adhoc> siccness: there is so little innovation | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser has 256 on his 5600Ultra. damn it helped playing doom3 | |
| <siccness> although i stand by zelda: oot | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wishes he could use vid ram to hold nautilus in | |
| <adhoc> its all been done before ... </rant> | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: 4GB is the answer | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: currently i'm using 50% of RAM and of that 11% is userspace apps | |
| <siccness> of course its all been done before, theres nothing remotely different about FPS's | |
| <siccness> same with racing, but what else can you do? | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: 1.3GB free and 1.5 in disk cache | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser needs more ram | |
| <adhoc> siccness: full body force feedback | |
| <adhoc> siccness: in 1997 we build a "imersion" racing game demo for the Open day at uni | |
| <siccness> so you can feel g-force? | |
| <adhoc> siccness: a seat from a celica, force feedback steering wheel + pedals, 5.1 sound, 1024x768 projector, aural interactor (kidney puncher) | |
| <adhoc> siccness: we had about 50 people sit down and have a go | |
| <adhoc> of those 20 people were sick afterwards | |
| <siccness> heh exactly | |
| <adhoc> including the dean and the head of department | |
| <siccness> why would anyone want to play that | |
| <adhoc> for the next time we tried, we didn't use the kidney puncher | |
| <adhoc> no one was sick | |
| <adhoc> its all about feedback | |
| <adhoc> messy, but fun | |
| <adhoc> need for speed 3, german or austrian track ... with the cobble stone streets | |
| <adhoc> made the kidney puncher shake like cras | |
| <adhoc> crazy | |
| <adhoc> we recorded the person and the game video and compared how folks reacted | |
| <adhoc> shame we never got it written up as a proper research paper =( | |
| <siccness> "How to make people sick" writted by adhoc :) | |
| <siccness> *written | |
| * adhoc provided most the gear | |
| <siccness> I can't believe NASA lost their moon-landing tapes | |
| <adhoc> dual voodoo cards + sound + kidney puncher etc | |
| <adhoc> siccness: oh? | |
| <siccness> NASA stated it was one of the most historical events of all time, and yet they lose it | |
| <siccness> Well done | |
| <adhoc> like the BBC and early dr who? | |
| <siccness> Watches the fuel add to the skeptics fire | |
| <adhoc> yeah ... | |
| <siccness> although i dont believe they ever went to the moon anyway | |
| <xice> adhoc, sounds good | |
| <xice> siccness, become an engineer, see that spaceflight is much more straight forward than u thought | |
| <siccness> eh? | |
| <xice> spaceflights definetly possible | |
| <siccness> not saying it isnt | |
| <xice> nite all | |
| <MatthewV> xice, night | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> later mate | |
| <quail> night xice | |
| <siccness> night xice | |
| <MatthewV> goodnight everyone | |
| <quail> MatthewV, g'night | |
| <Tatey> fella's | |
| <siccness> Logitech G25 looks mad | |
| <quail> what that | |
| <siccness> a steering with a clutch, and proper 6-speed H gear setup | |
| <Tatey> hah, I found barebone laptops | |
| <siccness> all the other wheels are autos, or a button for clutch | |
| <siccness> which is stupid | |
| <quail> oh | |
| <Tatey> http://online.infinitycomputer.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=190&searchtab=1&cat=nb&brand=acces&advmode=m <-- Barebone laptops, I want | |
| <siccness> only issue i have with the g25 design is the distance between pedals, too hard to roll between | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> oh, 2 things i just thought of. MSI do clean (no OS) laptops on some of their 'customise your laptop' pages | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> and SUNs T1000 page has "Operating systems: Solaris 10 6/06 Operating system" | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i think i know what 6/06 is supposed to indicate ;) | |
| <adhoc> nigt all | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> later | |
| *** klepas is now known as klepas_Zzz | |
| <siccness> im off too, night all | |
| <MatthewV> how do i burn an iso from command line? nautilus is playing up, gnomebaker is failing.... | |
| *** klepas_Zzz is now known as klepas | |
| <MatthewV> hi klepas | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> MatthewV, cdtools | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser gone |
