| <boredandblogging> hi | |
| <boredandblogging> hello | |
| <boredandblogging> history, technology, and society? | |
| <fignew> hmm | |
| <boredandblogging> oh well | |
| <boredandblogging> fignew, how's it going | |
| <fignew> meh | |
| <fignew> ok I suppose | |
| <boredandblogging> mid-terms happen yet? | |
| <fignew> Actually | |
| <fignew> not sure | |
| <fignew> Midterm grades are out | |
| <fignew> they've been out... | |
| <fignew> But I didn't have any major tests (I'm a lamer freshman) | |
| <boredandblogging> lucky | |
| <boredandblogging> do they still make you take psych 1010 | |
| <fignew> still pretty pissed at tech though | |
| <boredandblogging> why? | |
| <fignew> I think they replaced psych with health | |
| <fignew> the ratio :( | |
| <boredandblogging> haha, and TBS | |
| <fignew> yea :( | |
| <boredandblogging> are you living on campus? | |
| <boredandblogging> glenn? | |
| <fignew> yes, yes | |
| <boredandblogging> gotta move off campus | |
| <fignew> not planning on it within the next year | |
| <fignew> You are right | |
| <boredandblogging> i moved off campus after freshman year | |
| <boredandblogging> crappy house in home park | |
| <boredandblogging> but it was definitelly fun | |

| <PWill> with some ideas for logos | |
| <boredandblogging> let me go look | |
| <PWill> ok | |
| <PWill> i made them in Inkscape, so there are SVGs. It was kind of a learning experience for me, though. That was my first time working with inkscape. | |
| <boredandblogging> looks good dude, thanks for putting it together | |
| <boredandblogging> the one that we have right now is...ugly | |
| * fignew likes the second one | |
| <PWill> no problem. you guys can do what you want with them. if you need any more help, feel free to ask/add comments to the post, i'll subscribe to it. | |
| <boredandblogging> can I make a suggestion? | |
| <PWill> sure | |
| <boredandblogging> can you try one with the georgia flag? | |
| <boredandblogging> i'm just curious how it would look | |
| <PWill> fignew: i agree, i like the second one better | |
| <PWill> sure, give me a few minutes | |
| <boredandblogging> thanks man | |
| <boredandblogging> fignew, move off campus dude, more fun, you should probably start looking soon | |
| <boredandblogging> if you want to live in home park | |
| <fignew> lol, more fun eh? | |
| <boredandblogging> no PL or PAs, do whatever you want | |
| <boredandblogging> PAs right? | |

| <fignew> I suppose you are right... but I just payed my deposit for housing next year | |
| <fignew> sooo, no homepark for me yet | |
| <boredandblogging> hopefully west campus though | |

| <boredandblogging> talk about community, I just posted that message like an hour ago for some help with a logo | |
| <boredandblogging> hi HTSJacket_ | |
| <HTSJacket_> hello | |
| <boredandblogging> assume you went to tech? | |
| <HTSJacket_> yes I did | |
| <boredandblogging> awesome, graduated from there a few years ago myself | |
| <boredandblogging> been using Ubuntu for a while? | |
| <HTSJacket_> cool, I graduated Spring '06... been using Ubuntu since Breezy. I'm new to this IRC thing, logged on to get help making upstart events | |
| <boredandblogging> nice, the Georgia LoCo has been active for just over a month, so we are trying to get everything in place ourselves | |
| <nomasteryoda> welcome in HTSJacket_ | |
| <nomasteryoda> i've been here for a little while... maybe 2 weeks | |
| <nomasteryoda> I run the LUG down in Middle GA (mgalug.org) | |
| <boredandblogging> nomasteryoda, have you seen a couple of potential locos someone from the ohio loco made for us? | |
| <boredandblogging> logos | |
| <nomasteryoda> nope | |
| <boredandblogging> hold on | |
| <nomasteryoda> in fact, i've not been to the site before... | |
| <nomasteryoda> just did this one via the irc mention i saw for locs | |
| <nomasteryoda> locos | |
| <boredandblogging> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GeorgiaUSTeam | |
| <boredandblogging> logos: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=379048 | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <nomasteryoda> ic | |
| <nomasteryoda> the flag is too political and the one with peach on state reminds me of the loto page | |
| <nomasteryoda> loto... logo... loco | |
| <nomasteryoda> lol | |
| <boredandblogging> haha | |
| <boredandblogging> you have any ideas about what should go on the logo? | |
| <boredandblogging> the peach was just to connect it to georgia, wasn't sure if the outline of the state was enough | |
| <nomasteryoda> right | |
| <nomasteryoda> something like that... | |
| <nomasteryoda> we have peach on our logo | |
| <nomasteryoda> mgalug.org | |
| <nomasteryoda> i've been tied up with this conference this week... too much to do to think | |
| <nomasteryoda> but i'll put it on the backburner to simmer | |
| <boredandblogging> conference about what? | |
| <nomasteryoda> corrosion... | |
| <nomasteryoda> usaf annual corrosion conference ... | |
| <nomasteryoda> we host it in Macon | |
| <nomasteryoda> today is last day | |
| <boredandblogging> sounds like lots of fun | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <nomasteryoda> i setup the network with Linux server... samba and windows boxes connect to the samba domain server | |
| <nomasteryoda> =D | |
| <boredandblogging> awesome | |
| <boredandblogging> have you heard of emperor linux? | |
| <boredandblogging> they seem to sell linux laptops and have their own distro | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <nomasteryoda> system76.com | |
| <nomasteryoda> also good systems | |
| <nomasteryoda> supporting Ubuntu | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah | |
| <boredandblogging> emperor linux is in atlanta | |
| <boredandblogging> wondering if we should talk to them | |
| <nomasteryoda> in fact, they helped when the major dork happened with ubuntu patch of xorg | |
| <nomasteryoda> good idea | |
| <nomasteryoda> we got offer from acronis to come talk at our LUG meeting | |
| <nomasteryoda> the said they would do door prizes, etc... | |
| <boredandblogging> really? | |
| <nomasteryoda> so i'm sure emperor would help out | |
| <nomasteryoda> yup | |
| <nomasteryoda> i think they saw our book reviews... we're starting that up now... | |
| <nomasteryoda> Pearson education... | |
| <nomasteryoda> sends us free books | |
| <boredandblogging> wow, cool | |
| <nomasteryoda> got 2 2007 books at end of Dec | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <boredandblogging> you should get oreilly | |
| <nomasteryoda> you have lookedon the site/ | |
| <nomasteryoda> yea we will | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, I'm not what to ask about from the emperor linux guys, we don't really want sponsorship at the moment, I'm sure we could use some money pretty soon | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <nomasteryoda> maybe a laptop or desktop/server with sponsorship... | |
| <nomasteryoda> =D | |
| <nomasteryoda> would be nice... | |
| <nomasteryoda> i am hoping for such this year with our LUG | |
| <boredandblogging> once we start having meetings, definitely | |
| <nomasteryoda> i downloaded MEPIS 6.5 b and it rocks | |
| <nomasteryoda> not ubuntu, but i could run beryl live... | |
| <nomasteryoda> so sweet | |
| <nomasteryoda> and its faster than my installed beryl | |
| <nomasteryoda> same system too... | |
| <boredandblogging> really? | |
| <nomasteryoda> yup | |
| <nomasteryoda> you should try it | |
| <boredandblogging> Live CD, right? | |
| <nomasteryoda> i don't like that my fn+vol up/down keys don't work nor the scroll option on the touchpad, but it is live | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <nomasteryoda> even has oo.org on it | |
| <HTSJacket_> boredandblogging: EmperorLinux is not a distro (I do some of the sales stuff at EmperorLinux)... we put Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Slackware, RHEL, CentOS, or SuSE on the laptops we sell | |
| <boredandblogging> right, so they just tweak the kernel for the laptop? | |
| <HTSJacket_> yeah | |
| <boredandblogging> thats awesome | |
| <boredandblogging> HTSJacket_, who would we talk to at EmperorLinux about sponsoring us or just working with us? | |
| <HTSJacket_> well, I would suggest sending email to support@emperorlinux.com so that everyone can see it... or you can send it directly to lincoln@emperorlinux.com | |
| <boredandblogging> thanks HTSJacket_ | |
| <heathen> hello | |
| <boredandblogging> hey man | |
| <heathen> what's going on? I got distracted by dinner |
