| <purserj> MatthewV, yup :) | |
| <MatthewV> hey, i found an error in the ubuntu documentation, where do i file a bug? | |
| <purserj> launchpad would be my guess | |
| <MatthewV> purserj, yeah mine too, anyone know exactly where.. otherwise I'll go hunting | |
| <MatthewV> before i do, can everyone confirm that RPM stands for RPM Package Manager, and not Redhat Package Manager? | |
| <Phlosten> there was mention on the marketing list about filing bugs | |
| <Phlosten> for docs | |
| <Phlosten> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager | |
| <MatthewV> Phlosten, yep, i looked there, and www.rpm.org and they all tell me the same thing | |
| <Phlosten> well it says 'originally Red Hat Package Manager'. in my book that means they are both right | |
| <MatthewV> think i've found it... https://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-doc | |
| * MatthewV heads off to school | |
| <Phlosten> freespire is very lacking with pre-installed software | |
| <Phlosten> yay! gnucash finished compiling *dances* | |
| <bimberi> gnucash 2 is quoite noice | |
| <pschulz01> Hehe: http://www.turbocashuk.com/ | |
| <pschulz01> Anyone else see the 'sponsored Link' irony.. | |
| <purserj> ah, I remember those errors | |
| <Phlosten> pschulz01, heh | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: Turbocash was mentioned in the 'go-opensource' campaign.. so I want to the websirte and was getting VBScript errors :-) | |
| <pschulz01> s/websirte/website | |
| <Phlosten> yeah, is it any good? | |
| <pschulz01> Don't know.. I was recently at a session on 'accounting practives' for community groups, and MYOB was mentioned quite a bit by the presenter. | |
| <pschulz01> He hadn't heard of 'gnucash'. | |
| <Phlosten> pschulz01, how do you go with with not-for-profits promotion and accounting software? is there much problem with myob being too prevalent? | |
| <pschulz01> What he wanted was an easy web frontend that the 'treasurers assistant' could use to enter data. | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: Yes, yes, yes, yes. It's a nut that has to be craked. | |
| <pschulz01> cracked even/ | |
| * Phlosten hands pschulz01 a bloody great big open source sledge hammer | |
| <purserj> does that sledge hammer have the "Mighty Thwack" patch? | |
| * pschulz01 puts on some blue war paint and a skirt. | |
| <Phlosten> its from a cartoon series, it can be whatever you want | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: There is a game on the X-Box called 'cell damage'.. heard of it? | |
| <Phlosten> what does MYOB do that gnocash/turbocash/others don't do? | |
| <Phlosten> is that the cartoony game where you drive around shooting/whacking each other? | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: yes.. we call it 'Axes' | |
| <Phlosten> we have it on the PS2 | |
| <pschulz01> axe,axe,axe | |
| <Phlosten> it was one of those cheapie games that was actually extermely playable and entertaining | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: With regards to MYOB, part of the problem is that I don't know what it does, or how it compares. | |
| * Phlosten joins the no idea on MYOB club | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: especially whan you have 4 players going for it. | |
| <Phlosten> i have never ever seen it running, even from a distance | |
| <Phlosten> my friend in tamworth has been using it and from i gather it is just for book-keeping and invoicing, he is evaluating guncash atm | |
| <Phlosten> the work he does anyway | |
| <Phlosten> he has the cheapie version which print 'MYOB' on every document. very trashy | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: Excellent.. would he be able to 'help the cause' and do a write up of his findings? | |
| <Phlosten> i dunno, he is currently set on purchasing a Mac, so I don't know if he will continue with Linux | |
| <cafuego> Macs run Linux very well indeed ;-) | |
| <Phlosten> cafuego, yes but he is infatuated with OS X | |
| <cafuego> OSX is nice, but has a few annoyances. | |
| <cafuego> ... that can not be tweaked away (as opposed to Linux). | |
| <Phlosten> i've got no idea, I havent used a Mac since the Apple IIe's | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: I'm using an (older) Mac Mini as my workstation.. | |
| <Tatey> I've got linux on my iBook | |
| <Tatey> but it's too slow for my liking, the iBook is just slow | |
| <Phlosten> Tatey, no good, is that arch on there? | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: Intel only drivers are an issue. | |
| <Phlosten> bugga | |
| <Tatey> Phlosten: nah, Ubuntu | |
| <Tatey> Arch's PPC support is non-existant | |
| <Phlosten> ah of course, its 686 optimised | |
| <Tatey> hehe, yeap | |
| <Phlosten> i was pondering the other day about running an on-going workshop with the local computer club with linux from scratch | |
| <Tatey> there is an unofficial PPC port, but there is only 1 or 2 devs maintaining it, which just isn't good enough | |
| <Tatey> LFS is a bitch to maintain | |
| <Phlosten> i have people asking me about kernels and other stuff | |
| <Tatey> though, I still want to perform an LFS one day | |
| <Tatey> you can compile a kernel on any distro | |
| <Phlosten> i though it would be cool to just do a step by step LFS install over a year | |
| <Tatey> Phlosten: yea, it would definitely open their eyes, or at least help them understand the inner-workings | |
| <Phlosten> i was thinking of stepping through the book on my own anyway with an older piece of crap machine | |
| <Phlosten> i want to increase my knowledge and understanind of Linux a lot more | |
| <purserj> LFS will do that for you | |
| <Phlosten> bbl | |

| <pschulz01> lucychili: ping? | |
| <pschulz01> A recent post to LinuxSA mentioned the Open Source Symposium being held in Melbourne/Sydney at the end of the month... | |
| <pschulz01> It looks businessy, but there is something called 'Stateless Linux' available for Redhat systems. | |
| <pschulz01> Anyone heard or seen this? | |
| <pschulz01> There is also something called 'SystemTap'. | |

| <thehut> ubotu: tell me about printing | |
| <thehut> fking printing crap | |
| <Phlosten> thehut, i'm guessing you have printing woes? | |
| <purserj> that reminds me, my cups package is borked on my desktop | |
| <Phlosten> bork! | |
| <Phlosten> i read the other day about when mozilla(?) released the Bork version browser to render all Microsoft web pages like the swedish chef | |
| <Phlosten> brought a smile to my face | |
| <purserj> heh, nah everytime I try and upgrade it it throws up the following:Setting up cupsys (1.2.2-0ubuntu0.6.06) ... | |
| <purserj> FGET cupsys/raw-print changed | |
| <purserj> GET cupsys/backend | |
| <purserj> GET cupsys/ports | |
| <purserj> Error: debconf has an invalid value. Run 'dpkg-reconfigure cupsys' again. | |
| <Phlosten> ah, right. ubuntu? | |
| <purserj> yup | |
| <purserj> thats what the channel topic says | |
| <Phlosten> indeed ;) | |
| <Phlosten> maybe you were a ubuntu-hater hiding in our midst \ | |
| <purserj> if cups keeps stuffing me around, i could be. Our printer hangs off this machine | |
| <Phlosten> are you upgrading breezy to dapper or something like that? | |
| <purserj> nope, just a simple update to dapper | |
| <Phlosten> bugga | |
| <Phlosten> bbs, off to the shops | |
| <thehut> Phlosten: yeh | |
| *** thehut is now known as kgoetz | |
| <kgoetz> god damn ubuntu and broken printing. | |
| <kgoetz> 'its easy in debian' | |

| * kgoetz swears at modded cups | |
| * kgoetz hopes breezy+dapper cups are mor or elss teh same | |
| <quail_linux> afternoon all | |
| <kgoetz> fuck it all | |
| <kgoetz> you fucking ubuntu cups you | |
| <purserj> well that was interesting | |
| * pschulz01 goes hmm.. | |
| * bimberi_ hmm's as well | |
| * bimberi_ thinks Kamping_Kaiser should ban him ;p | |
| <quail> i say what a rip off, 50cents each for plastic name tags | |

| <elkbuntu> w00t, no more iinet | |
| * MatthewV thinks that the language in this channel is deteriorating | |
| <elkbuntu> ? | |
| <MatthewV> elkbuntu, just reading through what was said in the channel earlier today | |
| <elkbuntu> oh | |
| <MatthewV> i think that such language should not be accepted in this channel, especially from one of the ops | |
| <MistaED> whaa, was there some serious abuse earlier matthewv? | |
| <MatthewV> MistaED, you can check the logs to see what was said... it wasn't abuse at anyone, just someone letting out their frustrations in the channel | |
| <MistaED> matthewv: there's a log kept for this channel? i'm guessing that's something i should've already known then? XD | |
| <MatthewV> MistaED, there is.. see http://netz.smurf.noris.de/logs/freenode/ for today see http://netz.smurf.noris.de/logs/freenode/2006/08/18/%23ubuntu-au.log | |
| <Dano> quick question hopfully someone can help me i'm 3 days new to ubuntu.. i've extracted Flash7 setup to my desktop.. but when I try to copy files flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so to usr/lib/firefox/plugins I don't have permissions because the folder only allows root? | |
| <Dano> ..root to write to it.. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Dano, run 'sudo cp', but isnt there a deb for it? | |
| <MatthewV> Dano, i think flash can be installed by installing the flashplugin-nonfree package? or am i wrong | |
| <MistaED> dano: try and install flash from synaptic or aptitude, so it's all auto | |
| <thoreauputic> needs multiverse, but yes | |
| <Dano> i'll try that now :) | |
| <MatthewV> the Desktop Guide (System --> Help --> System Documentation ) has instructions on how to do it | |
| <thoreauputic> Dano: enable universe and multiverse in System - Admin - Software Properties | |
| <quail> Kamping_Kaiser have you seen the email i have put into sfd-sa mail list, email called "Name Tags" | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> quail, no, not been at my email all day | |
| <realist> Anyone interested in setting up a demo for Software Freedom Day? | |
| <quail> i played with Inkscape this afternoon and made up name tags for sfd event | |
| <Dano> we have liftoff.. :) used sudo cp | |
| <Dano> thanx! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> realist, that probably depends where you are ;) | |
| <MatthewV> hi Yagisan | |
| <Yagisan> G'day MatthewV | |
| <MatthewV> Yagisan, hows things going? | |
| <Yagisan> MatthewV, stressful. assignment time | |
| <MatthewV> Yagisan, heh.. happens all over the world.. | |
| <Yagisan> true | |
| <Yagisan> I'm about to try and grab a nap now the kids have gone to sleep | |
| <Yagisan> be glad when the assignments are over. I can actually have time to get back to my ubuntu interests | |
| <MatthewV> Yagisan, i always feel the same way at exam time... | |
| <realist> Kamping_Kaiser: Why would what others are doing, depend on my location? | |
| <realist> Speaking of Ubuntu interests, I've finally got around to setting up glx + dual head display | |
| <MatthewV> realist, well, if you wan't other people to set up a demo with you, naturally you must be in the same geographical location | |
| <realist> MatthewV: That's not what I was asking. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> realist, dual head xgl? cool. *might do that later if its working* | |
| <ajmitch> Kamping_Kaiser: fairly trivial, I found | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yay | |
| <realist> Kamping_Kaiser: works okayish, heard it has a few stability issues though | |
| <realist> Already heaps of video demos on youtube | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser doesnt stream off there. | |
| <realist> Wise, potential for addiction there. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> heh. dont have the bandwidth | |
| <realist> Dial-up? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> nah, crappy 30dollar adsl. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bbl all, gotta go to a party :) | |
| <realist> Speaking of which, I have access to CD duplication equipment, so I'm considering a live CD handout for software freedom day | |
| <realist> mmm bandwidth would be fine on any ADSL... data limits could be an issue | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> data limits the issue ;) | |
| <Phlosten> anyone know if there is a floppy boot disk that will enable a usb flash disk to boot? | |
| <quail> Kamping_Kaiser: i have put up a diff version of the sfd nmae tags i am working on | |
| <lucychili> ive been trying to dl them to look at them but nautilus is crashy | |
| <lucychili> good on you for doing them and im sure theyre funky =) | |
| <lucychili> i will probably need to restart | |

| <xice> hi kylie havent seen you here before | |
| <adhoc> purserj: i would check the package MD5's correctly ... | |
| <adhoc> i've had a few issues with packages not being mirror correctly recently! | |
| <adhoc> then find out why the package was updated ... | |
| <adhoc> you might have to downgrade the package by hand and get a fresh copy of the new package ... | |
| <purserj> righgt | |
| <purserj> right even | |
| <adhoc> make sense? | |
| <purserj> yeah, I'll have a look at it tonight and see what I can do | |
| <kylie> yep, xice first time here... :) | |

| <Phlosten> pretty good, apart from the fact I cannot find an eraser :) | |
| <Phlosten> crisis over, found it! | |
| <xice> Phlosten, what are you working on? | |
| <changlinn> bit annoyed with the apple ads, I want another person to come out, say I am ubuntu/linux etc | |
| <xice> heh | |
| <xice> apple should get more market share before they releaase ads like that | |
| <Phlosten> xice, a layout diagram for SFD | |
| <kylie> hiya purserj :) | |
| <changlinn> heheh I think those ads are designed to get market share, I know some people who will see them and go hmm and go out and get a mac | |
| <xice> ah k, i was thinking ur a designer or sumn lol, ive had my pencils out tonight for a dynamics problem i had | |
| <purserj> hows computer bank going? | |

| <siccness> I can't stand doing that, i'd rather use gimp/paint for sketching | |
| <kylie> a high school | |
| <purserj> nice | |
| <Phlosten> using a pencil and paper means I can go anywhere and sketch ideas for layouts etc | |
| <purserj> I'll have to hit you guys up for another interview by the sounds of it | |
| <kylie> heh chasers is on :) | |
| <Phlosten> and its cheaper than a laptop :) | |

| <Phlosten> kylie, its officially ''Orana Mall Marketplace' so 'mall' is ok | |
| <Phlosten> there seem to be lots of 'malls' in NSW | |
| <adhoc> NSW seems to desperately wants to be the 52nd state of the USA | |
| <kylie> :) | |
| <adhoc> =( | |
| <adhoc> they've imported all the crap laws | |
| <adhoc> and those pesky buggers in the ACT too | |
| <Phlosten> adhoc, i think we may already be there *sigh* | |
| <adhoc> Phlosten: there is still a chance for us yet | |
| <Phlosten> as long as we dont get attached to their crappy beer! | |
| <purserj> adhoc, I showed this to Kamping_Kaiser before: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DEC-AlphaServer-800_W0QQitemZ260020135429QQihZ016QQcategoryZ51234QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem | |

| <purserj> nice | |
| * adhoc needs a serious box... | |
| * purserj really has to set up the ML530 | |
| <adhoc> what i really need is a serious case i can put my 1.2TB into | |
| <adhoc> the MoBo only has 32bit PCI slots and all the cards are PCI-X 64 bit | |
| <adhoc> the poor server sits on a load avg of 6 when i copy files across NFS from my dekstop =( | |
| <adhoc> hammering out 35-45% iowait =( | |
| <adhoc> its all PCI bottle-neck | |
| <purserj> heh | |

| <Draicone> brisbane | |
| <xice> ah k | |
| <realist> xoops is 'okay', requires a bit of 'massaging' to make it useful though | |
| <xice> realist, are u into shares by anychance | |
| <xice> theres this guy on the aussies shareforums with the same name | |
| <realist> different realist :-) | |
| <xice> heh k | |
| * xice wonders if we have ever had 42 ppl here b4... also missing shenki | |
| <quail> xice: xoops | |
| <realist> xice: should get a script to keep 'peak' records | |
| <xice> yeh | |
| <xice> can a bot do that? | |
| <praetorian> if it is programmed to do, sure | |
| <realist> I've only recently become interested in linux advocacy and started using Ubuntu | |
| <siccness> Port Adelaide suck | |
| <quail> i living on the edge with ubuntu | |
| <quail> Computer: kayak | Distro: Ubuntu 6.10 "edgy" | Processor: 2x @ 549.11Mhz | Model: Pentium III (Katmai) | Memory: 757MB Free: 442MB [▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀] | Diskspace: 26.60GB Free: 11.00GB | Video: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G100 [Productiva] @ 1152x864 (24 bpp) | Net: Down: 58.65MB Up: 0.71GB | |
| <realist> Not exactly sure how to get started, but I guess burning 100x copies of the live CD and handing them out next month will be a step in the right direction | |
| <praetorian> i use gentoo | |
| <praetorian> that seems closer to the edge | |
| <siccness> gentoo is nice | |
| <realist> quail: I've never really been on the 'bleeding edge' of desktop linux | |
| * realist is a debianite | |
| <quail> you just have to live on the edge sometimes | |
| <quail> you learn more faster living on the edge | |
| <siccness> until you slip :P | |
| <quail> but you learn for them | |
| <realist> Living on the edge is fine if you're a developer | |
| <realist> Personally I prefer something more 'sedate' for production environments :-) | |
| <quail> my dist-upgrade from dapper to edgy was not easy | |
| <realist> quail: why's that? | |
| <quail> i had to do alot of screwing around in console to get the gui to work and get the right kernel to run | |
| <realist> Sounds almost expected though. | |
| <quail> i use xfce DE | |
| <quail> so that the prob with the gui | |
| <quail> the update was not as smooth as i thought it would be | |
| <siccness> i dont like xfce for some reason, its not ugly or anything i'd just rather use cli | |
| <realist> I had an interesting time today getting xgl+compiz+gnome working today | |
| <siccness> but thats the beauty of linux, so many options | |
| <realist> siccness: almost 'too' many ways to skin a cat ;p | |
| <siccness> heheh, well put :) | |
| <quail> i have to get my other pc up to edgy to compile stuff i need | |
| <realist> I guess I bought into the Ubuntu marketing hype | |
| <realist> Having ties with South Africa, and such | |
| <xice> xgl is the best | |
| <realist> xice, except ATI driver appear to be a little flakey | |
| <quail> i run ubuntu cause i love the distro and the community support that is behind it | |
| <realist> Either that, or my hardware isn't up to scratch | |
| <siccness> yeah, ubuntu has a great community | |
| <realist> quail: not to mention the 'financial' support | |
| <quail> yeah, but i not think of that | |
| <realist> I run ubuntu... well | |
| <realist> Because I was almost forced to try it | |
| <realist> Dragged kicking and screaming from my debian environment | |
| <quail> community based projects are the best | |
| <realist> Thus far, I'm nothing but impressed | |
| <realist> Probably because it's debian-based, community driven, corporate backed | |
| <quail> brb | |
| <realist> I wonder just how newbie friendly it is though... having been a long time debian user, it's difficult for me to judge | |
| * realist <3 apt | |
| <xice> damn, even apple servers look good | |
| <realist> oops, accidently typed "/quit" | |
| * realist blushes | |
| <realist> xice: nice and shiney | |
| <realist> I've been testing the new intel woodcrest lately | |
| * xice heads to wikipedia | |
| <xice> is that the same chip as in the macpros? | |
| <realist> No idea | |
| <realist> All I know, is they turn me on :-) | |
| <realist> 2 x Dual core @ 2.66GHz, on a Supermicro board | |
| <siccness> woodcrest is the 65nm xeon chip | |
| <realist> Intel pre-release | |
| <xice> much more interesting http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/02/ferrari599gtb_engine.jpg | |
| <siccness> and those macs use the woodcrest chips, yeah | |
| <realist> xice: even the URL sounds sexy | |
| <realist> siccness: interesting | |
| <siccness> doesnt look like an LS1/2/7 to me, xice :P | |
| <purserj> bloody pisspots | |
| <xice> siccness, eh? | |
| <realist> purserj: evening :-) | |
| <siccness> xice, nevermind :) | |
| <xice> im worried | |
| <realist> purserj: if you're based in Melbourne, you should head down to FSD next month | |
| <siccness> heh | |

| <siccness> It's for the Starlight foundation | |
| <siccness> Should be a great day | |
| <siccness> raise some money for the young ones with health issues and shit | |
| <xice> at least for a good cause | |
| <siccness> fuck oath mate | |
| <xice> "and shit" clearly not required ;p | |
| <siccness> yeah but i aint one good with words :) | |

| <realist> purserj: I listened to that webcast you did on open for business... nice | |
| <purserj> thanks, once we get the bugs sorted out it'll rock even more | |
| <realist> Haven't mentioned it the powers that be yet, but I'm going to try and motivate our company to promote open source a little more | |
| <realist> Considering we use it extensively | |
| <purserj> nice | |
| <realist> kylie: are you about? | |
| <kylie> only just realist | |
| <quail> hehe | |
| <quail> and the boggyman | |
| <realist> kylie: Have you had any more interest from ubuntu-au members about SFD? | |
| <quail> are people happy with the name tags i have made up? | |
| <realist> quail: name tags? | |
| <realist> I must be out of the loop :-) | |
| <quail> http://southernvaleslug.org/~sfd2006/10xnametags-final.svg and http://southernvaleslug.org/~sfd2006/10xnametags-final.pdf | |
| <realist> quail: is this for a Sydney only event? | |
| <quail> no i in adelaide | |
| <quail> it for all | |
| <quail> i am team leader of an event here | |
| <realist> kylie: are there currently any team leaders for an ubuntu-au team for your event? | |
| <kylie> um, there has been one person realist | |
| <kylie> maybe I can link you up | |
| <realist> That would've been me :-) | |
| <realist> Via e-mail? | |
| <kylie> ah, right, yep that'd be you then ;) | |
| <kylie> cool :) | |
| <realist> Only one person :-( | |
| <realist> What distro are all these laptops going to be running on the day? | |
| <kylie> maybe we can rally some more folks | |
| <realist> That's what I was hoping | |
| <kylie> probably a lot of ubuntu | |
| <kylie> but other stuff as well | |
| <kylie> we are bringing as many as we can muster | |
| <kylie> 6 in the kids game zone | |
| <realist> So I should still go ahead and burn 100 copies of LiveCD? | |
| <kylie> with LCD's | |
| <kylie> be cool if you can do that, not sure how many cd's we'll get this year | |
| <realist> I've got access to a 7CD duplicator at work | |
| <realist> Just say the word, and it's done. | |
| <kylie> we have been saving our ubuntu cd's | |
| <kylie> and we have some from last year | |
| <kylie> we hand em out all the time at computerbank | |
| <realist> I'd really like to see what computerbank is like | |
| <kylie> maybe you can come and visit | |
| <kylie> i have some photos somewhere... | |
| <quail> evening kylie | |
| <kylie> http://vic.computerbank.org.au/Members/kylie/picsatcomputerbank/photoalbum_view | |
| <kylie> hope they work for you | |
| <kylie> i think i gave them the right perms | |
| <kylie> and i'm adding more over the next week | |
| <kylie> virtual tour of cbv | |
| <kylie> heya quail | |
| <quail> how are you kylie | |
| <kylie> i like the name tags you did, pretty neat :) | |
| <kylie> i'd use em for us | |
| <kylie> but we have some from last year | |
| <kylie> we wear computerbank ones | |
| <realist> I might even make some ubuntu-au specific ones, if there's some more interest | |
| <quail> my name tags are gpl | |
| <realist> Otherwise, I might represent my organisation (software development company) | |
| <realist> quail: nice :-) | |
| <kylie> definitely going to be something i suggest all official bazaar folk do...wear a name tag ...we might use quail's ones for those who can't do some up | |
| <realist> kylie: sounds like a plan | |
| <kylie> well, yep realist you can represent your company too...there will be an osv/osia table too :) | |
| <realist> kylie: I might drop in one day before the 16th | |
| <quail> kylie i am a team leader her for Southern Vales | |
| <kylie> at computerbank realist ? | |
| <kylie> to check computerbank out? | |
| <realist> I'm also going to try and co-ordinate some people from Melbourne Wireless | |
| <kylie> ah, cool :) | |
| <realist> kylie: yes, I think computerbank is a great initiative | |
| <quail> and i just putting back into the community to use | |
| <kylie> so you know rob_melb :) | |
| <realist> Only via IRC ;) | |
| <kylie> cool stuff realist :) | |
| <realist> I haven't been as active in that comminity for a few years | |
| <Phlosten> night all | |
| <realist> Not sure how these events are run | |
| <quail> realist: this the first SFD event i have run | |
| <quail> realist: and i am doing it by the seats of my pants | |
| <realist> quail: first one I'll be a part of | |
| <realist> About time to give something back | |
| <realist> kylie: I'm also getting quotes for bulk orders of CDs in .au | |
| <realist> I can make runs of upto 300 myself | |
| <realist> However for more than that, I'll need to sub-contract | |
| <quail> realist: this my first one to be apart of aswell | |
| <realist> quail: you're very brave, and I commend you :-) | |
| <quail> realist: thx | |
| <quail> realist: like i said i flying it by the seat of my pants | |
| <quail> realist: one the event i like to organize is a linux conf | |
| <quail> but that be my my big bang | |
| <quail> linux conf would cost me more money than what i doing with SFD | |
| <quail> who has chanserv rights to this channel | |
| <kylie> realist, we got some free cd's from tdk | |
| <kylie> but would be good to know what price for bulk cd stuff | |
| <kylie> we probably got about 300 cd's from TDK - perfect for you :) | |
| <kylie> we probably have around 300 cd's on hand | |
| <kylie> official shipit ones and 30 or so open day cds from last year | |
| <realist> TDK blanks? | |
| <realist> The only difficulty I may have, is printing labels to the CDs | |
| *** klepas is now known as klepas_Zzz | |
| <kylie> we are thinking of making a stamp | |
| * kylie should be in bed now | |
| <kylie> but got so much stuff to fo | |
| <kylie> do even | |
| <kylie> but now..sleep time, night folks | |
| <quail> g'night kylie | |
| * quail still busy doing stuff |
