| 17:22.48 | Jayce^ | all bad things |
| 17:23.07 | Jayce^ | especially with that name :D |
| 17:23.21 | bananarama | Good - that's my intention. |
| 17:23.43 | bananarama | Someone else is using my Rama nickname. |
| 17:25.11 | levi | It's a cruel, cruel summer, eh? |
| 17:25.33 | bananarama | I hate it when they do that. |
| 17:25.52 | Jayce^ | man I wanted to say that soo badly |
| 17:27.12 | levi | You're askin' for it with a nick like that. |
| 17:27.34 | CosmicPenguin | Man - that is funny. |
| 17:27.39 | bananarama | Man - now you've got Ace of Base in my head... |
| 17:27.40 | CosmicPenguin | And not just a little funny |
| 17:29.25 | levi | And now we return you to your regular MSG-laden goodness. |

| 17:32.21 | hans | lol |
| 17:32.56 | hans | actually, bananarama(defunct), cruel cruel summer is by bananarama |
| 17:33.11 | hans | not ace |
| 17:34.23 | ramannoodle | Didn't Ace of Base sing it, though? Maybe I've got my groups mixed up. |
| 17:35.00 | hans | shrug. I'm just going off my xmms playlist. :) |
| 17:35.08 | hans | you're in VA, aren't you? |
| 17:36.03 | ramannoodle | yeah |
| 17:36.04 | levi | Yes, Ace of Base covered the song. |
| 17:36.51 | levi | But Bananarama did it first. |
| 17:37.38 | levi | Just rename yourself to CosmicHans, and then go do something errand-like. |
| 17:38.28 | ramannoodle | Sorry - I was in high-school in the early 90's back when Ace of Base was big. I'll have to hear the original version sometime. |
| 17:40.05 | hans | i have a friend that seriously needs to be liberated from windows, she lives in richmond. Any installfests coming up there? |
| 17:40.10 | levi | Well, so was I. That's no excuse. :) |
| 17:40.38 | levi | Not that knowing the origins of silly pop songs is essential trivia. |
| 17:41.33 | ramannoodle | levi: Sorry - I have been humbled. |
| 17:42.06 | levi | I spent too many years listening to retro-80s shows on the radio. |
| 17:42.29 | ramannoodle | hans: not that I know of. The group I've started to become associated here seems to be somewhat new and much smaller than PLUG. I'll have to recommend it, though. |
| 17:42.48 | ramannoodle | s/associated/associated with/ |
| 17:47.50 | hans | ramannoodle: she wants to know what ward you're in |
| 17:48.00 | ramannoodle | Tuckahoe |
| 17:48.42 | ramannoodle | hans: Last month there was a "I can do it in Windows, so how do I do it in Linux?" roundtable discussion - it's too late for that, though. |
| 17:49.25 | hans | she uses linux some at work and is even a vim convert |
| 17:49.37 | levi | Ooh, that's hardcore. ;) |
| 17:49.38 | hans | she just needs to install it at home and never gets around to doing it herself. :) |
| 17:50.59 | ramannoodle | If she gives me her computer for an evening, I would happily install it for her. :) |
| 17:51.16 | ramannoodle | What ward is she in? |
| 17:51.22 | neybar | heh, I got an email some company is trying to hire someone with lynix experience... |
| 17:52.13 | neybar | if I were looking I can pretty much guarentee that I wouldn't apply there. |
| 17:52.37 | ramannoodle | Clearly the person that used to do the Linux admin there is no longer there. |
| 17:53.52 | neybar | person doing the hiring obviously can't take the time to do a little research and figure out what they have and need. |
| 17:54.22 | hans | ramannoodle: meadowbrook |
| 17:54.48 | ramannoodle | okay - I think that's in my stake, but I'm not sure (I'm still somewhat new here). |
| 18:00.56 | levi | Mmm, food. Time for lunch. |
| 18:03.59 | ramannoodle | hans: where does your friend work? |
| 18:08.12 | hans | ramannoodle: VCU School of Dentistry |
| 18:08.23 | hans | she's the webmistress. :) |
| 18:10.14 | ramannoodle | Ahh...one of those dental students, then. Actually, there's a lot of them out here. I guess it's a good dental school. |
| 18:10.53 | hans | her husband, actually. |
| 18:11.11 | hans | she's doing grad work in CS there somewhere. she graduated from BYU in english |
| 18:56.38 | ramannoodle | Anyone seen these before?: http://www.versalaser.com - very cool - wish I had $10,000. |
| 19:19.20 | hans | heh. so do I |
| 19:24.05 | levi | If I had 10 grand to blow, I wouldn't be spending it on that. :) |

| 23:11.23 | mike_s | are you a mormon? |
| 23:11.32 | goozbach | I'm LDS. yes |
| 23:11.36 | mike_s | excuse me |

| 23:11.43 | mike_s | cool |
| 23:12.05 | mike_s | can I sit in here? |
| 23:12.26 | goozbach | don't see why not... _they_ let me. |
| 23:12.42 | goozbach | where ya from mike_s? |
| 23:13.28 | mike_s | indiana |
| 23:13.33 | goozbach | cool |
| 23:13.38 | mike_s | I'm a pioneer in these lands |
| 23:13.57 | mike_s | not many mormons around |
| 23:13.59 | mike_s | eek lds |
| 23:14.26 | goozbach | hah! |
| 23:14.26 | hans | speaking of which, I heard pre-orders for indiana jones started yesterday(?) |
| 23:14.45 | tensai | hans: dvd? |
| 23:14.59 | hans | oh yeah, left out that important acronym :) |
| 23:15.16 | mike_s | all I've gotta say is that its about time |
| 23:15.20 | tensai | all of them? or one at a time? |
| 23:15.33 | hans | all three I think. didn't look close (/. sidebar) |
| 23:15.44 | mike_s | all 3 |
| 23:15.49 | tensai | ah. wonder if there'll be a box set too |
| 23:16.44 | mike_s | does anyone here have openoffice or koffice and use a pda to convert spreadsheets/wordfiles? |
| 23:17.13 | hans | use a pda (e.g. palm) to convert spreadhseets? why? |
| 23:17.20 | mike_s | er well |
| 23:18.04 | mike_s | I have a spreadsheet I want to put on my pda.. it only works for windows office suites, and won't work when I try to save openoffice files to windows files |
| 23:18.18 | mike_s | (man I hope that makes sense) |
| 23:18.30 | tensai | mike_s: what about converting to csv? |
| 23:18.50 | mike_s | what will doing that do for me? |
| 23:18.53 | hans | you have the spreadsheet which you want on your palm. |
| 23:18.58 | mike_s | I'm pretty new when it comes to pda's |
| 23:19.05 | mike_s | yea.. i do |
| 23:19.08 | hans | is there some special program for reading it on your palm, or do you just want the info there? |
| 23:19.29 | tensai | your pda might read it easier. but I dunno much about pda's either |
| 23:20.06 | mike_s | yea, basically. The program will read windows office files. I thought I'd trick it and save my openoffice files as windows office files, but its on to me and won't work |
| 23:20.40 | hans | hmm |
| 23:20.49 | hans | sounds serious. i recommend amputation. |
| 23:20.53 | mike_s | I guess I could upload another program for reading my openoffice files, I'd just have to find something |
| 23:21.21 | hans | how does this program do? seems like spreadsheets would be hard to deal with on a pda |
| 23:21.39 | hans | have you tried saving a spreadsheet with gnumeric instead of OO? |
| 23:21.39 | mike_s | I dunno, but it looks really good from some of the screenshots |
| 23:21.52 | mike_s | nope I haven't |
| 23:22.07 | mike_s | I thought of koffice too, but I really don't want to download that bloatware |
| 23:22.14 | mike_s | is gnumeric small? |
| 23:22.33 | hans | probably depends on gnome libs or something. but it's a heckuvalot faster than OO on my box. |
| 23:22.47 | mike_s | hrm |
| 23:22.55 | tensai | I love gnumeric |
| 23:23.17 | mike_s | I'm gonna have to try it |
| 23:23.36 | mike_s | anyone use gentoo here? |
| 23:23.40 | hans | mike_s: I know it deals with .xls files directly, without saving in its own format |
| 23:23.46 | hans | mike_s: several do. not I |
| 23:24.21 | mike_s | what do you use? |
| 23:24.33 | hans | the one true distro ;-] Debian |
| 23:24.49 | mike_s | gentoo is debians long lost cousin ;) |
| 23:25.03 | mike_s | anyway, I really do appreciate your help |
| 23:25.56 | hans | no problem. stick around and enjoy the weather. (finally a bit o' rain) |
| 23:26.33 | tensai | hans: that would be a nice change. we've had ~100 this last week. |
| 23:26.43 | mike_s | always good to find some fellow polygamists- er lds folk ;) |
| 23:32.16 | brailsmt | we are having a downright Utah thunderstorm... |
| 23:32.35 | brailsmt | a little bit of lightning, a littler bit of thunder and even less rain... |
| 23:32.38 | brailsmt | ;) |
| 23:32.50 | hans | i can tell you're impressed. ;) |
| 23:32.56 | brailsmt | and its all over in 5 inutes |
| 23:33.33 | brailsmt | no thunderheads rolling in, no hail, no tornado warnings/citings |
| 23:33.39 | brailsmt | booooooooring |
| 23:33.42 | brailsmt | ;) |
| 23:35.51 | hans | brailsmt, on a decent distro ntpd is as difficult as apt-get install ntp |
| 23:36.23 | brailsmt | like i said, I have never done it, but i have heard it is not easy to get right... |
| 23:36.44 | hans | shrug. i haven't gotten it wrong yet. I just install it and point it at time.cs.byu.edu and voila |
| 23:36.47 | brailsmt | so i avoided it altogether and got rdate |
| 23:37.09 | brailsmt | though, i like the idea of it fine tuning my clock... |
| 23:38.11 | hans | didn't mysql get subselects recently? what version? |
| 23:39.10 | brailsmt | i switched to postgres about a year ago |
| 23:39.20 | brailsmt | and haven't looked back :) |
| 23:44.46 | goozbach | No Fair! Cedar is Sunny and Clear. |
| 23:44.59 | tensai | hans: I think it was targetted for 4.x but I dunno if it is there |
