| * fignew is on feisty 64 bit | |
| <fignew> first time using a 64 bit distro | |
| <nomasteryoda> cool | |
| <nomasteryoda> i wish i had such a box.. | |
| <nomasteryoda> linux-image-2.6.20-10-generic | |
| <nomasteryoda> nice shiny new kernel | |
| <nomasteryoda> =D | |
| <jbayone196> so hi everyone | |
| <fignew> hey :) | |
| <fignew> nomasteryoda: what do you mean you wish you had such a box? this thing is too slow for me! | |
| <fignew> finally got flash to work (sorta) | |
| <nomasteryoda> hwody | |
| <nomasteryoda> col | |
| <nomasteryoda> mine work fine... | |
| <nomasteryoda> oh a 64bit box | |
| <fignew> yea, it works in firefawx, but not in konqueror | |
| <nomasteryoda> lol | |
| <nomasteryoda> let me try my konqueror | |
| <jbayone196> have any of you tried mouse gestures with konqueror | |
| <nomasteryoda> nope | |
| <jbayone196> jw | |
| <nomasteryoda> tried with fox... | |
| <nomasteryoda> ff | |
| <nomasteryoda> ok, but not so good with beryl running.. | |
| <fignew> jbayone196: yes i've tried mousegestures | |
| <jbayone196> but with konqueror? | |
| <fignew> yes | |
| <jbayone196> how'd you get it to work? i heard there was a way, you pretty much use the extension from firefox | |
| <nomasteryoda> i'm sure they work well.. kde team is top knotch | |
| <fignew> no | |
| <fignew> they're included, no FF plugin needed | |
| <fignew> 1 sec | |
| <nomasteryoda> i love the ksay it additon | |
| <nomasteryoda> very sweet | |
| <nomasteryoda> ksayit | |
| <fignew> Mouse gestures are configured through the KDE Control Center. To enable them, launch the KDE Control Center, and select Regional and Accessibility. Then choose KHotKeys. Select the Global Settings button, then choose the Gesture Settings tab. Un-check the Disable mouse gestures globally box, and choose the mouse button you want to use to activate the gestures (I use the middle button). | |
| <fignew> To view the possible gestures, use the tree list to navigate the Konqueror Gestures. Selecting a gesture then viewing the Gestures tab shows the pattern for a gesture. For example: to use the browser's back function, hold the middle mouse button, move the mouse left, then release the button. | |
| <fignew> New gestures are easily added, or existing gestures are easily modified with this module. | |
| <fignew> from http://en.opensuse.org/Konqueror_Tips_and_Tricks | |
| <jbayone196> thanks | |
| <fignew> I don't find them useful personally | |
| <fignew> then again, I don't use Opera ;) | |
| <jbayone196> i do | |
| <jbayone196> i love it | |
| <fignew> lol, I know why I never use them... I have 12 buttons on my mouse | |
| <fignew> so I just bind one of them to do what the gesture would ;) | |
| <jbayone196> argh! i hate dealing with stupid customers | |
| <nomasteryoda> nice update | |
| <nomasteryoda> took down wifi for me | |
| <nomasteryoda> have to reboot for new kernel | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya customers suck | |
| <jbayone196> damn, that sucks | |
| <nomasteryoda> =D | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <nomasteryoda> but i'm sure its just a mater of reloading the modules | |
| <nomasteryoda> which will happen with reboot | |
| <jbayone196> the biggest problem with working in tech support is stupid people | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <heathen> hallo | |
| <boredandblogging> hello | |
| <heathen> hows it going? | |
| <boredandblogging> been stuck in training today and yesterday, got more tomorrow | |
| <boredandblogging> bored out of my mind | |
| <heathen> that's always fun | |
| <heathen> i recently went thru that... we had a "How to solder" class... | |
| <heathen> it was bad | |
| <boredandblogging> this was covering stuff I didn't know...but we were there cuz it might impact us, so it might good to know kind of thing | |
| <boredandblogging> it could be summarized for us in an hour | |
| <boredandblogging> not 8 hours of it | |
| <heathen> lol | |
| <heathen> well 16 really | |
| <boredandblogging> true | |
| <boredandblogging> and 8 more to go | |
| <heathen> get this, the father of the stepkid is in town this week.. | |
| <heathen> we told him to take him to the hotel last night... | |
| <heathen> now he's trying to give him back because he's "to tired" to deal with him | |
| <boredandblogging> lol | |
| <heathen> if it were me in that situeation, i would have picked him up monday and said see ya sunday before my flight.. | |
| <heathen> its just sad | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah | |
| <boredandblogging> man | |
| <boredandblogging> does your stepkid want to see his father? | |
| <heathen> yep | |
| <boredandblogging> feel sorry for him then | |
| <boredandblogging> doesn't deserver a messed up dad | |
| <heathen> yeah well, there is a reason that he calls me dad and not him | |
| <boredandblogging> true true | |
| <heathen> which in and of itself is kinda pathetic | |
| <boredandblogging> lol | |
| <heathen> im off to a bike night... nothing like showing up to bike night in a car :( | |
| <boredandblogging> how's the hand? | |
| <heathen> it's better, I can type with it. I dont have my full range back, and i dont really expect to for a while | |
| <heathen> it hurts to squeeze | |
| <heathen> i still wear the splint too | |
| <heathen> i take it off to drive because it's a pain with the gearshift | |
| <boredandblogging> right | |
| <heathen> and at night, cuz my wife gets mad at me for smacking her with it when i roll over... | |
| <heathen> lol | |
| <heathen> anyhow, good luck with your training.. | |
| <boredandblogging> ummm | |
| <boredandblogging> as long as I don't fall asleep, I'm ok | |
| <boredandblogging> I stealing the Ohio LoCos work for making CD cases and CDs to distribute | |
| <boredandblogging> like Ubuntu CDs | |
| <boredandblogging> i'll post the plans hopefully before the weekend | |
| <boredandblogging> hey stuart | |
| <stuartf> yeah | |
| <stuartf> or, hi | |
| <boredandblogging> whats going on? | |
| <stuartf> I think charter just had a router go down | |
| <stuartf> 71-14-0-33.static.gwnt.ga.charter.com | |
| <boredandblogging> charter sucks | |
| <stuartf> other than that, I'll be moving to Atlanta soon | |
| <boredandblogging> oh yeah? new job? | |
| <stuartf> yep | |
| <boredandblogging> what are you going to be doing? | |
| <stuartf> I'll be doing devel work on Sakai for Georgia Tech | |
| <stuartf> http://sakaiproject.org/ | |
| <boredandblogging> is this a replacement for webct? | |
| <stuartf> yep | |
| <boredandblogging> webct sucked | |
| <stuartf> and it's GPL | |
| <stuartf> yeah, webct is pretty horrible, sakai has a ways to go though | |
| <boredandblogging> oh yeah? | |
| <stuartf> yeah, the usability on it is really not that great yet | |
| <stuartf> it puts everything into iframes so the back button on the browser has really unexpected behavior | |
| <boredandblogging> ewww | |
| <stuartf> I do like the page layout better than webct, much cleaner | |
| <boredandblogging> cool, I couldn't stand using webct, I know some people used blackboard or whatever it was called, but I never saw that | |
| <stuartf> I haven't seen it either but I've heard it's bad, and Blackboard is a patent troll | |
| <stuartf> http://noedupatents.org/ | |
| <boredandblogging> very interesting | |
| <boredandblogging> where in atlanta are you moving to? | |
| <boredandblogging> or planning to | |
| <stuartf> hopefully close to Tech | |
| <stuartf> we'll probably stay at my wife's grandparent's house for a while because they are going to be out of the country | |
| <stuartf> that will give us more flexability to look for something closer | |
| <boredandblogging> thats pretty nice | |
| <boredandblogging> stay away from home park | |
| <stuartf> home park? | |
| <boredandblogging> atlantic station might be expensive | |
| <boredandblogging> its right across from Tech, technically between 10th and 14th | |
| <stuartf> ah | |
| <stuartf> what's wrong with it? | |
| <boredandblogging> run down | |
| <boredandblogging> basically its the first place kids look for off-campus housing since its close | |
| <boredandblogging> people who own the houses don't maintain them | |
| <boredandblogging> but you can find some nice places to rent if you look really hard | |
| <boredandblogging> otherwise, I'd stay away | |
| <stuartf> we're thinking about buying | |
| <boredandblogging> condo or house? | |
| <stuartf> haven't really decided yet | |
| <boredandblogging> plenty of condos in midtown | |
| <stuartf> I think I'd like a house, but my wife would probably prefer the condo | |
| <boredandblogging> either way, now is the time to buy | |
| <stuartf> unfortunately, we don't have much saved for the down payment | |
| <boredandblogging> thinking about doing a zero down loan? | |
| <boredandblogging> some places are stopping those | |
| <stuartf> possibly, or getting help from family | |
| <boredandblogging> then a condo might be a good idea...won't burden you too much if you aren't putting anything down... |
