| 00:02.06 | jakea | well, I guess I missed the rest of trek talk |
| 00:08.41 | Maquis | sjansen: are you ok? you really should get a bit more sleep |
| 00:08.50 | Maquis | |lart jakea |
| 00:09.04 | leinaD | To recursively copy a directory, is it cp -R dir/* or just cp -R dir/ |
| 00:09.05 | leinaD | ? |
| 00:09.16 | Maquis | cp -R dir/ |
| 00:09.27 | Maquis | unless you don't actually want the dir itself |

| 00:13.02 | sjansen | spr, Maquis: Got something against Hammer? |
| 00:13.06 | sjansen | Hey hey! |
| 00:13.08 | Maquis | hammer? |
| 00:13.09 | sjansen | Too legit. Too legit to quit. |
| 00:13.14 | Maquis | is that what that is? |
| 00:13.16 | Maquis | oh... |
| 00:14.03 | sjansen | Be that as it may, it wasn't the cause. tensai's part message caused an MC Hammer flashback |
| 00:14.15 | Maquis | SpecialK: i'm going on friday |

| 00:15.34 | sjansen | *shrug* It's been awhile. I'm gussing mid-eighties. |
| 00:15.44 | Maquis | hmmm... mid-80s... |
| 00:15.50 | sjansen | goozbach got it; goozbach is obviously cooler |
| 00:15.51 | Maquis | i was born in the mid 80s |
| 00:16.04 | specialk_ | There's chatzilla on these machines in the digital lab. |
| 00:16.10 | Maquis | oh |
| 00:16.15 | specialk_ | I hadn't realized. |
| 00:16.28 | Maquis | so... anyway, i'll be there friday night |
| 00:16.35 | Maquis | hypothetically with someone |
| 00:16.46 | specialk_ | I need to find the B_X part where it put my full name, but now messaging is with something. |
| 00:16.49 | Maquis | i'm going to try to find one of the girls from last year who wants to go |
| 00:16.55 | specialk_ | You bought tickets today? |
| 00:17.00 | Maquis | yup |
| 00:17.07 | Maquis | L1 and L2 |
| 00:17.19 | Maquis | i think andrea will probably want to go... :) she went a couple times last year |
| 00:21.13 | sjansen | there we got, got it |
| 00:22.34 | Maquis | got what? |
| 00:23.43 | sjansen | ever used printenv? |
| 00:23.52 | Maquis | no... what's it do? |
| 00:24.10 | sjansen | try it, name is pretty descriptive |
| 00:24.20 | Maquis | oh wait... |
| 00:24.36 | Maquis | i think i have actually... you can do printenv DISPLAY right? |
| 00:24.38 | sjansen | so I've written a version that's sorted and colored to make it easer to read |
| 00:25.15 | byronc | wow, I've always just done 'set | grep <VAR>' |
| 00:25.15 | Maquis | cool! |
| 00:25.19 | byronc | call me lazy |
| 00:25.31 | Maquis | i usually do echo $DISPLAY |
| 00:25.42 | Maquis | although i have used printenv once or twice |
| 00:25.44 | sjansen | byronc: no, call me lazy, I want to find variables I don't know the name of |
| 00:25.57 | sjansen | Maquis: do printevn w/o any args |
| 00:26.00 | byronc | sjansen: that's why there is 'set | less' :) |
| 00:26.09 | sjansen | still too much work |
| 00:26.19 | byronc | sjansen: set | sort | less |
| 00:26.36 | sjansen | my vgrep still has a hard time, especially w/ my multi-line env variables |
| 00:26.39 | byronc | sjansen: actually the colors would be kinda cool |
| 00:26.41 | Maquis | wow... that's a lot of variables... but i see why sorting and colors would be very important |
| 00:26.55 | sjansen | byronc: not that easy, as I said I've got a crazy tricked out profile |
| 00:27.26 | sjansen | that just got a tiny bit more tricked out |
| 00:28.45 | Maquis | sjansen: that's way cool! |
| 00:31.00 | Tene | installing gentoo is fun. |
| 00:31.17 | Maquis | Tene: ummm... sure?? |
| 00:31.23 | Maquis | personally, i prefer configuring it |
| 00:31.27 | Maquis | and setting random things up |
| 00:31.32 | Tene | yeah |
| 00:31.38 | Maquis | installing is too much of just sitting there watching :) |
| 00:32.16 | Tene | No, I'm having fun! |
| 00:32.24 | Tene | It's exciting, dangit! |
| 00:32.36 | Maquis | uh huh... |
| 00:33.51 | sjansen | "well, I suppose you're probably going to want your laptop back soon" -- emcnabb to our boss |
| 00:34.22 | Maquis | haha |
| 00:34.35 | Maquis | what's he trying to get? |
| 00:34.36 | Maquis | time off? |
| 00:34.42 | sjansen | Tene: http://funroll-loops.org/gentoo.jpg |
| 00:35.06 | sjansen | No, he's just been using it while our boss has been teaching. |
| 00:35.39 | Maquis | yeah... but why'd he say that? it sounds like he wants to not have to do anything right now (ie, give it back and doesn't have to do any work for the rest of the day) |
| 00:36.01 | Maquis | or maybe keep it for the rest of the day, but give it back for tomorrow and the next day (and take the days off) |
| 00:36.02 | sjansen | he's developed laptop lust |
| 00:36.07 | sjansen | it's a brand new thinkpad |
| 00:36.07 | Maquis | oh... |
| 00:36.19 | Maquis | it isn't cooler than spr's is it? |
| 00:36.25 | Maquis | (if it is, i've got to see it) |
| 00:36.33 | spr | It's bigger |
| 00:36.39 | spr | then again, everything is |
| 00:36.42 | Maquis | yeah... but yours is cool |
| 00:36.58 | spr | i would've gotten the thinkpad if i could have afforded it |
| 00:37.01 | sjansen | not by my standards |
| 00:37.03 | Maquis | mine's bigger too, but it's old and decrepit... |
| 00:37.11 | sjansen | spr's is way too small |
| 00:37.23 | spr | and your's is the size of my car |
| 00:37.30 | Maquis | spr's has the same resolution mine has (i think) |
| 00:37.37 | Maquis | just a much smaller screen.. |
| 00:37.38 | sjansen | 1920x1200 |
| 00:37.43 | Maquis | sjansen: nice |
| 00:38.32 | Maquis | i have 1024x768 |
| 00:38.34 | Maquis | laptop doesn't do any better |
| 00:39.09 | sjansen | I feel for you. |
| 00:39.09 | sjansen | Okay, done. |
| 00:39.10 | Maquis | and my desktop's monitor doesn't seem to want to do any better than 800x600 since i installed gentoo... but i haven't played with it much |
| 00:39.26 | Maquis | i've just ssh into the machine cuz i'm too lazy to walk across the room usually |
| 00:39.30 | sjansen | What? You want more sympathy? |
| 00:39.36 | Maquis | no.. |
| 00:39.39 | Maquis | i don't care about it |
| 00:39.59 | Maquis | i'm hoping to get a nice new monitor for it... and then i might actually walk over to the desk... or i might still be too lazy |
| 00:41.34 | Maquis | haha |
| 00:41.35 | Maquis | yeah |
| 00:42.02 | Maquis | i spent quite a bit of time trying to set up cups remotely on friday because i did'nt want to get up and walk across the room |
| 00:42.03 | spr | ~lart dishes and room-mates |
| 00:42.15 | Maquis | then spr talked me into getting up and walking over there |
| 00:42.23 | Maquis | spr: roommate problems? |
| 00:42.40 | Maquis | use a cluebat |
| 00:42.42 | sjansen | Maquis: You've obviously never lived with a bunch of guys. |
| 00:43.01 | Maquis | sjansen: correct |
| 00:43.17 | sjansen | All it takes is two words "roommates dishes" and everyone who's experienced it knows. |
| 00:43.17 | Maquis | although the guys in the chinese house are pretty good |
| 00:43.45 | Maquis | some of the guys in the chinese house even take it upon themselves to clean up after dinner even if they didn't cook... |
| 00:43.58 | Maquis | and when it's a girl's responsibility instead of their own |
| 00:43.59 | sjansen | more than one?! |
| 00:44.04 | Maquis | (even when we're cooking in the girls apartment) |
| 00:44.12 | Maquis | there are 2 or 3 out of the 6 of them that have done that) |
| 00:44.27 | sjansen | Oh, this is in the presence of girls. That's completely different. |
| 00:45.05 | Maquis | sjansen: true... but i'd be surprised if they actually thought to clean their apartment every time we come over... but their kitchen is generally about as clean as ours |
| 00:45.39 | Maquis | especially since they have to deal with us on a daily basis... |
| 00:46.29 | sjansen | That's easy to explain with a single guy. |
| 00:46.40 | sjansen | Although they usually wear down. I did. |
| 00:46.53 | sjansen | I've never heard to two clean guys living in the same apartment. |
| 00:47.10 | sjansen | Two formerly clean? Sure. |
| 00:47.37 | Maquis | yeah... |
| 00:47.38 | sjansen | well, time to do a SUSE install |
| 00:47.39 | Maquis | we have odd guys |
| 00:47.43 | Maquis | ok have fun!!! |
