<apokryphos> GazzaK: how did it go?

<GazzaK> the event seemed good, spoke briefly to jono Bacon, but he was busy, met popey and nik, which was good, but then the place was cramped and my damn annoying agrophobia thingy played up and I felt erm crap... and had to get somewhere more open, it was a very small hall, and the booths were way to close for comfort. It seemed good though

<GazzaK> and I got a ubuntu shirt, which is fab

<GazzaK> why do they insist on squashing the booths together so much with such small corridors between them I'll never know, there was space for bigger booths and bigger corridors between them, but no, they stuck the .org village in the smallest space possible

<neuro_> #ubuntu is gonna be a riot today

<GazzaK> it already is

<GazzaK> it's a nightmare

<GazzaK> and has a sever lack of supporting going on

<neuro_> i think on a release day, that's to be expected

<neuro_> and it's gonna be tough policing that without looking like bastards

<GazzaK> yeah, i'd make the channel +m if I were them

<neuro_> that'll just confuse the hell outta people

<GazzaK> yeah, maybe

<neuro_> every big project goes through this

<GazzaK> true

* neuro_ saw this every time smoothwall did a release

<neuro_> people appearing on irc who'd never been there before

<neuro_> "is it out yet?"

<neuro_> "is it out yet?"

<neuro_> "is it out yet?"

<GazzaK> yea, but it's a support channel, not a "lets bug the hell outta everyone" channel

* darich has already upgraded a few days ago to the RC candidate...

<neuro_> not today it's not

<neuro_> today will be "bug the hell outta everyone until that website is updated and stuff can be downloaded" day

<GazzaK> lol

<GazzaK> I upgraded weeks ago,a nd have kept up to date with updates

<apokryphos> GazzaK: interesting, a couple years ago when I went it was pretty open, but I do recall some booths being quite cramped. What was the turnout of ubuntu people then?

<GazzaK> quite a few

<GazzaK> and loads of cool ubuntu shirts :-)

<LoudMouthMan> yep <grin.

* CieD fights with unmount

<CieD> oh well I've read it already then

<CieD> pity about work, otherwise I'd have come to the expo

<LoudMouthMan> quite . .. we had a lot of great people there and the numbers were incredible.

<CieD> can only be a good thing eh

<CieD> hopefully there'll be even more next time

<popey> you would have enjoyed it

<popey> lots of people interaction

<popey> loads of questions you would have been able to nswer

* popey notes he had a debian t-shirt on today under his black polo shirt

<LoudMouthMan> your aspect changes... when I move screen size <grin>

<popey> because underneath ubuntu there is debian ;)

<CieD> I expect to drool all over your ubuntu uk polo shirt at the HantsLUG meet popey

<popey> both of them :)

<LoudMouthMan> canonical will most likely look how to smooth out the debian input .. since .. they could go a little KDE <grin>

<CieD> :)

<popey> probably the only person there who had a clean one for each day

<LoudMouthMan> CieD we have one for sale still

<LoudMouthMan> nope .. me to ...

<popey> ---> rest

<LoudMouthMan> AHS was convinced Jono did not spot the beard <grin>

<LoudMouthMan> ---< psyched!

<eztk_> man this upgrade is a tad slow

<eztk_> dapper > edgy

<eztk_> 80-90K/sec :|

<eztk_> *ponders switching the beeb on for a quick game of repton*

<gord> eztk_, there are thousands of other people thinking that, if you want it to go faster consider downloading the iso from the official torrents. that way you help other people download and thus every ones speed goes up

* grimace downloaded beebem for repton purposes

<eztk_> grimace: I'm using the real thing in terms of the beeb, but someone managed to port beebem on a gp2x handheld... :)

<eztk_> saw a screenshot of repton on it

<eztk_> think it was on the stairway to hell website

<eztk_> but GoMMC rocks :)

<grimace> that's pretty sweet :)

<eztk_> grimace: it is..512 MB MMC card fitted in the beeb.. tons of games on it

<eztk_> gp2x sounds tempting though

<eztk_> know nothing about it

<eztk_> gord: thanks for the suggestion. i think i'll let it run overnight as I'm heading off for bed soon

<grimace> I'm not sure if I've still got a real beeb, but if I do, it's a few hundred miles away

<eztk_> grimace: lol

<eztk_> grimace: too far away

<grimace> at my parents' house :)

<eztk_> fairy nuff

<grimace> there's either a beeb there or an A3000

<eztk_> got one of those as well

<eztk_> and a3020

<eztk_> and a bbc master

<grimace> hehehe

<eztk_> big fan of Acorn me

<grimace> me too - do you run rox incidentally?

<eztk_> nope

<eztk_> i thought about it

<grimace> ah ok

<eztk_> when i was in the process of leaving winblows expee

<eztk_> decided to move to Ubuntu with Beryl

<eztk_> was very close to moving to RISC OS for some bizarre reason

<eztk_> also considered Mac OS X

<grimace> RISC OS these days just amuses me

<eztk_> lol

<eztk_> I know

<eztk_> its fallen behind

<eztk_> Risc OS 6 is due anytime soon

<grimace> it's all a bit horrifying really but never mind

<eztk_> think it was demo'd at the SE Acorn show in Guildford last Saturday

<eztk_> saw some funny Micro Live programmes

<eztk_> with our very own Fred Harris on it

<eztk_> LOL

<grimace> hahaha! genius!

<eztk_> 2nd part of this particular video was about the Archimedes

<eztk_> and Roger Wilson was on it

<eztk_> he (now she) is a genius

<grimace> hah, I remember reading her website for some reason

<grimace> probably a couple of years ago now

<grimace> some good acorn reminisces I think

<eztk_> yeah

<grimace> I'll leave off upgrading to edgy just now I think

<eztk_> fair enough

<eztk_> sometimes it's not worth being an early adopter

<eztk_> but I'm just impatient

<eztk_> I'm so used to having endless trouble with Windows.. I guess I'm just not used to running a trouble free OS

<eztk_> so I'm asking for trouble now

<eztk_> or trying to

<eztk_> lol

<grimace> I would join the torrent but I can't burn cds X)

<gord> grimace, get the alternate cd, you can then use dist-upgrade but get all the packages from the iso. no burning needed

<grimace> grod: sweet, not bad!

<grimace> uh, gord, that is

<gord> go<tab> is your friend ;)

<grimace> ty!

<eztk_> I thought I had to burn a CD too

<eztk_> I guess I'm just tired

<eztk_> promised myself I'd head for bed early.. ahem

<gord> its not a bad idea to burn a cd, makes for a good 'ahhh everythings broke and my system wont start!!!' backup.

<eztk_> www.b3ta.com - look at the pic top left. I ain't ever going to see Zippy in the same light again.... lol

<Sionide> well it's that time of year again...

<Sionide> to dist-upgrade or not... that is the question

<gord> or to put it in realistic terms 'how lazy am i?' ;P

<Sionide> i want aiglx or xgl/compiz or whatever it is, because i've just spend the past 2 days showing it off to people at linuxworld expo..

<eztk_> Beryl

<eztk_> That rocks

<eztk_> visit #beryl ?

<eztk_> I just ask folks to go on YouTube and lookup Ubuntu Beryl

<eztk_> gotta go

<eztk_> bye

<Sionide> so er

<Sionide> if i install beryl, is it gonna install all the aiglx etc whatever it all is?

<gord> aiglx is installed on edgy by default

<Sionide> indeed

<Sionide> hence

<Sionide> to dist-upgrade or not... that is the question

<gord> and your reason for not dist-upgrading is?

<Sionide> 2 reasons

<Sionide> 1) can't be bothered right now cos i should be in bed

<Sionide> 2) is it gonna muck my system up? (2a-> can i be arsed to back everything up first? (answer:definitely not))

<gord> ahem.... "[00:32 22] <gord> or to put it in realistic terms 'how lazy am i?' ;P"

<Sionide> exactly

<Sionide> so really it's thus; laziness vs. very-much-wanting-aiglx etc-right-now
