<heathen> used to live at PIB and pleasnt hill, right next to the post office

<sync350> oh yeah i know where that is

<heathen> I lived there off and on for about 5 years

<heathen> currently in between places right now...

<sync350> ah

<sync350> how old are ya btw?

<heathen> 24

<sync350> ah

<heathen> what's your preferred Desktop Environment?

<heathen> allo

<robertj__> hello

<sync350> hello

<robertj__> who be you two?

<heathen> i be in bed in a minute... non stop today from 5am

<robertj__> eek

<heathen> didnt get home til 7:45

<heathen> i hate long days

<heathen> but, it does mean i can take friday off

<robertj__> where do you work?

<heathen> depends on the day... construction

<sync350> robertj__ i just showed up today... been using ubuntu for about 2 years, and just decided to sign up for the forums, found the GA ones, so yeah thats me :)

<heathen> wow, that makes me feel the noob

<sync350> meh?

<sync350> eh*

<heathen> been on ubuntu since right after dapper was released..

<heathen> full time that july

<sync350> actually closer to a year and a half i guess

<robertj__> I downloaded the prerelease before the name. Prior to that I had been using Debian since 2.0.

<heathen> i've played with linux for a year or so.. never had any desire to give it any effort... so, i got wind of ubuntu and liked it enough to reclaim the 50g of hardrive that xp was on

* robertj__ works in tech at UGA's music school

<heathen> hiring?

<robertj__> nope, although my coworker my quit soon

<robertj__> err may

<heathen> doubt i could get the nessisary certs by then

<robertj__> do you have a degree?

<heathen> nope

<heathen> still working that out

<robertj__> once you get a degree you don't need certs, you need jobs and connections

<heathen> heh, yeah well, getting college to accept your application with a history like mine is hard... I'm going to have to put time in at Gwinnet Tech or (god forbid) ITT first...

<robertj__> heathen: whats your GPA?

<heathen> GED

<robertj__> got an SAT?

<heathen> lol...

<heathen> I couldnt read until I was 17

<heathen> so no

<heathen> rehab, that was fun

<robertj__> I did a year at perimeter, the actual teaching is better there by a long shot

<heathen> is it?

<robertj__> your gonna need a non-pathetic SAT score, but that shouldn't be too hard

<heathen> I could look into it, I assumed that they would say no on principle

<heathen> wait, I took the SAT's.. i did ok

<robertj__> ITT & Gwinnett Tech are both dead-ends

<robertj__> whats your combined?

<heathen> i know ITT is

<heathen> 1470

<heathen> of 1600

<robertj__> umm, do you know what percentile that is?

<heathen> no...

<robertj__> high

<robertj__> real high

<heathen> o.0

<heathen> i dunno, once I figured out how to read, i did a lot of it...

<robertj__> you sure you took it before they rebalanced it to 2400?

<heathen> the SAT's were part of the rehab program to give us "direction" yeah, it was before... that's why I took them when I did instead of waiting..

<robertj__> and noone ever talked to you about your score?

<heathen> nope... I got the paper's in the mail... but I'd been "released" so they didnt care untill if/when I come back

<robertj__> thats like the 98.75%

<heathen> damn, im not as dumb as I look.

<robertj__> that means out of 1000 people you would expect only 11 or 12 to do better

<robertj__> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAT has the breakdown

<robertj__> if I were you I'd claim to be home-schooled and apply to UGA

<robertj__> just saying...

<heathen> cant afford uga, I'm married with chillens...

<heathen> I've got to do something where I can take night classes..

<robertj__> heathen: UGA at Gwinnett is sweet. If you go to perimeter and get 30 semester hours, after that you can probably get back on hope

<robertj__> then you could take classes at UGA at Gwinnett

<robertj__> I did 2 classes over there when I was finishing up, most people over there are 35+

<robertj__> I'm 24 married, 0 chillun, etc.

<heathen> have to talk to work about not sending me out of town for a while so I can look into that more

<heathen> but i will

<robertj__> what were you rehabbing for?

<heathen> heroine, being the major

<heathen> pot, alcohol....

<heathen> all the fun stuff... I still am :( always will be... the joy of chemical addiction, I doubt I'll ever be truely over it. but I can avoid it at all costs...

<robertj__> pretty hard stuff. I deal with people from a couple of local houses here on a regular basis.

<robertj__> most are alcoholics who have found their way via court order for either DUI or minor possession

<heathen> well, finding the wife helped alot... and the kids make me want to stay clean... so that's a big deal for me. I drink now and then, but nothing excessive.. I still smoke though :(

* robertj__ doesn't jive to well with smoking. Ex-asthmatic but still not completely normal either

<robertj__> but we had a few fellows show up one Sunday at church who were in a program, and we went over and visited, and I've been dropping by every couple of weeks for the past year or so

<robertj__> (those guys are vicious at checkers)

<heathen> lol

<heathen> im doing better on smoking, I've made it a point not to smoke at work...

<heathen> and I refuse to smoke near my kids

<heathen> so, my 2-2.5 pack a day has dropped to a half pac or so

<nomasteryoda|w> heathen, good... because my parents smoked all 18 years i lived at home...

<nomasteryoda|w> and it ruined my lungs and gave me asthma

<heathen> it's not their fault... so why make them suffer..

<robertj__> both my parents smoked when I was small but both have since stopped. What's really killing in our family is FOOD :)

<heathen> really the only time i want it is when I am in the car...

<robertj__> I dropped like 100lbs when I quit high-school & went to community college

<heathen> so i bought a motorcycle... cant smoke in a full face helmet

<nomasteryoda|w> lol

<robertj__> ~300, 180ish now

<robertj__> still fat, but more of a happily-married plump

<heathen> Food is bad, I was up to 275 two or so years ago... I weighed in last saturday (Before my anniversary dinner) at 187

<heathen> by the way, i do not reccomend the melting pot...

<robertj__> rip-off

<robertj__> Dante's is better, and similarly priced, but still not incredible

<heathen> not big on the fine dinning...

<heathen> im more of a taco hell sort of guy

<robertj__> if you ever come to Athens the Basil Press is where it is at, and you will be $30-$60 per person depending on if you do wine or not.

<robertj__> I had Arby's fries with horsey sauce and later some pizza rolls :)

<heathen> mmm... arbys... speaking of, I've not eaten dinner yet

<heathen> damnit... now im hungry

<heathen> and we've no food...

<heathen> grr

<robertj__> always keep Walmart-Brand chocolate pop tarts around

<heathen> gah

<heathen> that'd hurt..

<robertj__> hehe, they are yum

<robertj__> eat em cold, with Diet Dr. Thunder

<heathen> not a big "poptart" style of food fan... gimmie eggs and bacon

<heathen> they make knock of Diet Dr pepper?

<heathen> wow

<robertj__> it is pretty good

<heathen> I've been drinking the diet dr.p

<robertj__> I actually prefer it now over the real Dr. Pepper

<robertj__> .50/2 liter

<heathen> nice

<robertj__> I'm off caffeine for a while though to see if it makes my mouth ulcers better

<robertj__> I was drinking like 4 liters a day

<heathen> damn

<heathen> i do that with water

<heathen> makes me pee alot

<robertj__> ok, well im gonna head out

<robertj__> getting a bit drowsy myself

<nomasteryoda|w> diet dr p is the best

<heathen> yeah, i need to go to bed. I still have to be at work in the morning by 7

<robertj__> later all

<heathen> later

<heathen> allrighty, im going to bed.. I'm up much later than i meant to be..

<nomasteryoda> cox

<boredandblogging> had charter which was horrible

<boredandblogging> hey john

<jsvh> hey nick

<jsvh> how is it going?

<boredandblogging> not too bad, working from home and enjoying my new dual monitor set up

<jsvh> Are you using edgy?

<boredandblogging> yeah

<jsvh> what video card? Nvidia?

<boredandblogging> no, ati

<boredandblogging> i've had good luck with my ati 9250, so I just bought a card that support dual head with the same chipset

<boredandblogging> i added about 8 lines to the xorg.conf and was done

<boredandblogging> i almost feel like going out and buying a third monitor ;-)

<jsvh> haha, nice

<jsvh> My friend Mark is having trouble with dual monitors, but he has a Nvidia card

<boredandblogging> is it a new nvidia card? the ati 9250 is a couple years old, so the open source drivers support it pretty well
