| *** heathen_ is now known as heathen | |
| <boredandblogging> what issues? | |
| <heathen> irssi issues... takes time to get used to the interface | |
| <boredandblogging> why not just xchat? | |
| <heathen> i like to play with new toys | |
| <boredandblogging> haha, fair enough | |
| <heathen> and irssi takes next to no memory | |
| <heathen> had to come back to xchat when i put my splint back on | |
| <boredandblogging> is it easy to be in multiple channels with it? thats why I always had trouble with terminal irc apps | |
| <heathen> not yet... but if i figure out how to configure it, maybe.... just see how it goes, besides, it gives me something to do while i ice my hand | |
| <nomasteryoda> anyone about??? | |

| <boredandblogging> maybe | |
| <boredandblogging> sure | |

| <boredandblogging> "Linux. Generally a pile of crap. No distro I have ever tried (and I've tried several) has ever gotten my audio to work. On various pc's. I have a Samsung flat panel 19" monitor. Some distro's work with it, some don't." | |
| <boredandblogging> Take time to tweak Linux? With arachic commands and editors, give me a break. | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya, dumb | |
| <boredandblogging> I'm a programmer/Systems Admin in a corp. records department in a large company. | |
| <boredandblogging> scary | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |

| <boredandblogging> "Windows has ruled the pc market for a long time and always will. " | |
| <boredandblogging> always is a very long time | |
| <boredandblogging> lol, how does a monitor not work | |
| <nomasteryoda> i guess he forgot to plug it in? or turn on? | |
| <nomasteryoda> wait, linux is SUPPOSED to do that for you, dammnit | |

| <nomasteryoda> at least 3 times a month | |
| <nomasteryoda> and also chicken bbq | |
| <nomasteryoda> it was the life of poor rural ga | |

| <boredandblogging> ehhh, free pizza is like money | |
| <boredandblogging> maybe not | |
| <nomasteryoda> lol | |
| <nomasteryoda> well we had to buy the toppings... | |
| <nomasteryoda> but we raided the local pizza joint's salad bar for all our toppings | |
| <nomasteryoda> .. would fill up a container with pepperoni... | |

| <boredandblogging> i know a guy who runs a cigar store... | |
| <boredandblogging> and the dude basically gets a pizza every night... | |
| <boredandblogging> there is a papa johns right across the street... | |
| <boredandblogging> the manager lets the cigar guy make his own pizza | |
| <boredandblogging> charges him $3 too | |
| <nomasteryoda> lol | |
| <nomasteryoda> i would do that | |
| <nomasteryoda> i make kickass pizza | |
| <nomasteryoda> my kids and anyone who has had it say... you need to open a restaurant | |
| <nomasteryoda> they drive from miles around to have it | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, the cigar guy didn't want some guy scratching his butt and picking his nose to be making his food | |
| <nomasteryoda> lol | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <nomasteryoda> i don't blame him | |
| <nomasteryoda> -D | |
