| 15:39.14 | Zelut | atoponce: sure. I'm still tinkering with my bot in #ubuntu-tutorials |
| 15:41.54 | Zelut | so far he does uptime, chuck norris quotes, bash quotes & checks the os / server for a domain. |
| 15:43.17 | Zelut | !geek |
| 15:43.19 | UtahBot | You might be a geek if you check your web access_page more than once a day. |
| 15:44.01 | Zelut | atoponce: we should add a !geek entry for FunnyLookingHat in #ubuntu-us. He was talking about how he had a dream about getting ops in there & it was awesome |
| 15:44.04 | Zelut | lol |
| 15:45.16 | atoponce | i want UtahBot to notify this channel when there is a post on our forums |
| 15:45.35 | Zelut | that'd be cool |
| 15:47.19 | atoponce | all of them require a trigger, though, and i don't want to trigger it all the time, though |
| 15:52.33 | Zelut | why doesn't firefox use the standard ctrl-Q to quit like everything else? :( |
| 15:54.06 | atoponce | i think UtahBot is going to go from an eggdrop to a supybot |
| 15:54.32 | Zelut | better? |
| 15:55.01 | atoponce | i dunno. the features that i want in UtahBot i am having a hard time finding for eggdrop |

| 16:40.45 | atoponce | it looks like a user, because you give it a nick, but it's just a daemon |

| 19:21.34 | atoponce | maquis: what on earth are you taking about? |
| 19:24.25 | maquis | atoponce: the cookie |
| 19:26.12 | maquis | the thing is... i'm not sure what it means |
| 19:26.35 | maquis | ke is like in "ke yi" for something that has permission to do something |
| 19:26.46 | maquis | kou is mouth... |
| 19:28.44 | atoponce | so, you're referring to a 'cookie' that is not related to UtahBot |
| 19:28.59 | maquis | UtahBot: has cookies? |
| 19:29.04 | atoponce | [phoenyx]: lunix is an illegal hacker operating system. nice |
| 19:29.31 | atoponce | maquis: i thought you were using the term 'cookie' loosly to explain the latest feature that i added to it |

| 19:30.16 | maquis | atoponce: aha... |
| 19:30.16 | maquis | ooh |
| 19:30.16 | maquis | i know i like these ones |
| 19:30.17 | maquis | this cookie that i'm currently eating is interesting |
| 19:30.26 | maquis | because the initial taste is very similar to the taste of corn nuts |
| 19:30.37 | maquis | but there's an aftertaste that's very different |
| 19:30.55 | atoponce | corn nuts cookies |
| 19:31.05 | atoponce | yeah. that would have a very different aftertaste |
| 19:31.23 | maquis | and the 2 characters of the name i can read are the same as the first 2 characters in the chinese name for coke |
| 19:31.46 | atoponce | lol |
| 19:31.59 | atoponce | so, basically, you're saying that you are getting high at work |
| 19:32.22 | maquis | lol |
| 19:32.33 | maquis | coke as in coca cola |
| 19:32.38 | maquis | (ke kou ke le) |
| 19:33.00 | atoponce | uh huh |
| 19:33.07 | Hunding | I thought perhaps you were eating "green butter cookies" |
| 19:37.20 | maquis | hmmm... they should probably stick with non-desserts... their candies are pretty good (mm.. da bai tu), and fortune cookies aren't bad... but that's about the limit |
| 19:37.26 | maquis | and some of the candies.... well |
| 19:42.58 | maquis | btw, ssh question |
| 19:43.04 | maquis | let's say i ssh from a to b |
| 19:43.06 | maquis | then b to c |
| 19:43.10 | maquis | then c to d |

| 19:44.10 | atoponce | well, all depends on what you're trying to do |
| 19:44.11 | [phoenyx] | unless you go to aa after that |
| 19:44.30 | maquis | lol |
| 19:44.50 | maquis | oh... and i'm sure i've got at least one situation where i went back to one of the early machines accidentally |

| 21:11.02 | maquis | particularly when working with large quantities of critical data |
| 21:19.48 | atoponce | maquis: i've never heard anything about the number of times that you can ssh |
| 21:20.05 | atoponce | but, if you do discover a problem, be sure to post it somewhere |
| 21:22.25 | atoponce | at work, it's not uncommon to have 3 or 4 nested ssh sessions |
| 21:25.25 | maquis | atoponce: haven't seen one yet... but i've gotten about 8 deep so far |
| 21:25.25 | maquis | :) |
| 21:25.44 | atoponce | sweet |
| 21:28.04 | [phoenyx] | ♫ how many servers can maquis ssh through, before she can't go any more? The answer my friend is somewhere in /dev/null, the answer is somewhere in /dev/null ♫ |
| 21:44.41 | maquis | lol |

| 21:54.23 | natter | upgrade from edgy to feist, worth it? |
| 21:57.02 | tristanbob | natter: only for testing |
| 21:57.08 | tristanbob | but it will be worth it when the final release is out in April |
| 21:57.28 | natter | k, I was bored and thinking about upgrading |
| 21:57.50 | tristanbob | if you have a VM or a spare machine, then it is great |
| 21:57.57 | tristanbob | cause you don't mind if something breaks |
| 21:58.16 | natter | yeah, this is a dual boot machine so probably wait. Took me a while to fix after edgy |
| 22:18.42 | Zelut | tristanbob: I've been using it on my machines now for a month and I find it's more stable than Edgy. |
| 22:19.05 | tristanbob | even though there are about 100 updates a day? |
| 22:19.10 | Zelut | yeah. |
| 22:19.20 | Zelut | I have less bugs on this than I did on Edgy |
| 22:19.20 | tristanbob | I get crashes when I use it |
| 22:19.25 | tristanbob | mainly network manager |
| 22:20.07 | Zelut | I'm to the point of suggesting using Dapper or Feisty but not Edgy |

| 22:23.02 | Kemotaha | hi guys |
| 22:26.51 | Zelut | hey |
| 22:49.16 | Zelut | what are your guys' thoughts on paying +$299.00 to upgrade from Celeron M 1.6G to Core 2 Duo 2G on a laptop? |
| 22:49.46 | Zelut | Celeron M 420 1.6GHz 1MB 533 FSB |
| 22:49.46 | Zelut | Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz 2MB 667FSB (+$189.00) |
| 22:49.46 | Zelut | Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz 2MB 667FSB (+$239.00) |
| 22:49.46 | Zelut | Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz 4MB 667FSB (+$299.00) |
| 22:49.46 | Zelut | Core 2 Duo T7400 2.16GHz 4MB 667FSB (+$439.00) |
| 22:49.48 | Zelut | Core 2 Duo T7600 2.33GHz 4MB 667FSB (+$699.00) |
| 22:50.37 | atoponce | buying your new laptop, eh? |
| 22:51.25 | Zelut | trying to talk myself out of it lol |
| 22:51.37 | Zelut | I don't *need* it but man would it be fun. |
| 22:56.20 | Zelut | I know I can get a slightly cheaper price from HP but it'll be M$ infected and that bothers me. |
| 23:02.28 | atoponce | yeah |
| 23:02.30 | atoponce | i hear ha |
| 23:02.34 | atoponce | *ya |
| 23:03.36 | Zelut | I know I can return it but I don't even want to bother having to do that.. when I shouldn't *have* to. |
| 23:05.12 | Zelut | ..yeah, I just went back to look at the Thinkpads but I can't pay for windows |
| 23:05.34 | Kemotaha | Well you could get it with M$ and then write a review on how bad vista is =) |
| 23:06.01 | Zelut | I will *not* pay for a machine with Vista on it. |
| 23:06.28 | Zelut | I've been offered, twice now, a free Vista copy. I laughed at them. |
| 23:07.33 | Zelut | macbook is tempting and I know I'd be paying for OSX but its actually comparable to the darter from system76.. |
| 23:08.01 | Kemotaha | that will be my next laptop |
| 23:09.06 | Zelut | I've been thinking about it but I know I'll wipe it for Ubuntu |
| 23:10.11 | Zelut | I think I'm going to head home now.. bbiab |
| 23:10.21 | Kemotaha | true, Night |

| 23:17.22 | atoponce | i would love to get a darter, but they don't have good resolutions |
| 23:41.05 | Zelut | as much as I'm hesitant the macbook looks like the best deal for the hardware while avoiding windows |
| 23:42.07 | Zelut | $1299 for 80G SATA, 2Ghz Core 2 Duo, 1G DDR2 CD/DVD Burner. |
| 23:42.19 | Zelut | same specs at system76 put me at around $1600 |
| 23:43.53 | atoponce | careful with the macbook. you may or may not get wireless working on it |
| 23:44.13 | Zelut | I know its broadcom (yeck), but what chipset? |
| 23:44.18 | [phoenyx] | it's pretty easy to dualboot ubuntu/os x isn't it? |
| 23:44.29 | Zelut | I'll need to do some research on the hardware support I guess. |
| 23:44.35 | atoponce | yeah |
| 23:44.46 | atoponce | i'd look into it a bit, and make sure everything is worked out |
| 23:44.54 | Zelut | [phoenyx]: I've never done that before.. it'd be new ground for me. |
| 23:45.09 | atoponce | [phoenyx]: not sure. now that they made the move to the intel chips, i don't know if the x386 will work on it or not... |
| 23:45.12 | Zelut | I know MikeB has the macbook pro and says it is supported well after a few tweaks |
| 23:45.14 | atoponce | i would think so |
| 23:45.56 | Zelut | atoponce: MikeB says x86 works on it but doesn't see the EFI loader by default is all. |
| 23:46.07 | atoponce | efi loader? |
| 23:46.24 | Zelut | it uses a different hdd controller I guess.. |
| 23:46.42 | [phoenyx] | http://refit.sourceforge.net/ |
| 23:46.46 | [phoenyx] | looks interesting |
| 23:52.53 | Zelut | a co-worker said he could get me a deal on a sony machine but they are on my boycott list too. |
| 23:57.24 | Zelut | this looks helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook |
