05:29.33 | Gate | anyone recommend a rss feed reader? |
05:30.05 | Gate | I want something fullscreen ticker-style for about 20-30 feeds. |
05:37.01 | herlo | google reader |
05:45.46 | fizz | Gate: what OS/GUI? |
05:47.11 | fizz | even though i don't use KDE i really like akgregator. |
05:50.01 | herlo | you could use liferea |
05:50.35 | fizz | for winders feedreader is nice. |
05:52.01 | fizz | is akgregator not around anymore? |
05:53.49 | fizz | looks like KNode is the new thing. |
05:54.46 | fizz | also liferea is pretty good. |
05:55.02 | fizz | what are you doing up herlo? |
06:05.35 | Gate | on Ubuntu gnome ATM, but kde libraries don't scare me. |
06:06.51 | Gate | herlo: I am actually looking for something FOSS so I can..... tweak it. :) |
06:07.53 | Gate | wow, 117 MB to get akregator :P KDE libraries.... |
06:09.00 | fizz | Gate: it looks to me like that is no longer maintained look at KNode |
06:10.30 | Gate | mmmk |
06:11.09 | herlo | Gate: liferea is FOSS |
06:11.31 | Gate | herlo: yeah, I was responding to google reader, which I presume is cloud |
06:12.07 | herlo | Gate: sweet!! |
06:12.40 | herlo | cloud is good stuff |
06:14.28 | Gate | yes, but I have some particular requirements and I don't really want to start from scratch |
06:21.16 | Gate | interesting, KNode might already have what I need. (go figure, no ideas are original :( ) |
06:24.38 | herlo | some are, just not completely original :) |
06:27.54 | Gate | haha |
06:28.35 | Gate | well, I wanted to do scored by regexp matching and article flagging, etc etc. KNode does it all |
06:29.13 | herlo | nice |
06:29.27 | herlo | just finished building himself an awesome pc |
06:29.41 | herlo | Gate: http://smolts.org/client/show/pub_07c39094-a499-4587-b183-4d74d5888af5 |

06:39.05 | herlo | fizz: RAID 1 is what I meant to type |
06:39.28 | herlo | fizz: besides, it's only for a while, then I'm going to RAID 6 |
06:39.43 | herlo | when I buy 4 more 1TB Drives |
06:41.25 | Gate | cool |
06:41.40 | fizz | taid 6 ++ |
06:41.43 | fizz | ... |
06:41.46 | fizz | raid 6 |
06:43.08 | fizz | i have some drives to build a raid on, but i need to finish getting my networking gear first. priorities man. |
06:45.07 | herlo | yeah, sorry. I am a bit tired today. Just finished the bulk of wiring my house with cat5 |
06:45.29 | herlo | s/today/tonight/,/cat5/cat5e/ |
06:45.44 | herlo | infobot: you suck at sed replaces |
06:49.57 | Gate | sigh, so apparently KNode only does newsgroups, not RSS |
06:54.28 | herlo | :( |
06:54.56 | herlo | Gate: watch http://blog.utos.org about 1pm tomorrow for an exciting announcement :) |

14:29.02 | fozzmoo | So far, yeah. I didn't get much sleep last night, but I made good on it and got some work done. |
14:29.13 | undertakingyou | cool. |
14:29.29 | fozzmoo | http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7285 |
14:29.32 | fozzmoo | This kind of cracks me up. |
14:29.36 | fozzmoo | "What is text?" |
14:29.43 | undertakingyou | looks |
14:30.05 | fozzmoo | Linux runs on text. Text comes in a lot of flavors. What weâll cover this month is plain text: a stream of characters that you can output directly to a terminal window using a utility like cat(1). |
14:30.20 | fozzmoo | Now THAT is basics. |
14:30.44 | undertakingyou | but it uses the catchphrase of text |
14:30.56 | undertakingyou | THe only thing that would be better is if it was Linux Runs on TXT |
14:32.25 | fozzmoo | Some people would think that has something to do with SMS messages from your mobile device. :) |
14:32.56 | undertakingyou | Yep. But they did use a .txt file for the example. |
14:33.09 | fozzmoo | "Plain text"? Is that when someone sends you a message on your phone that doesn't have a smiley? |
14:33.16 | fozzmoo | ;-) |

20:16.02 | herlo | good to see you |
20:17.09 | Gareth | herlo: hey :) Just saw your tweet regarding the dates for UTOS. |
20:18.10 | herlo | :) sweet |
20:18.13 | herlo | share it far and wide |
20:18.18 | Gareth | definitely. |
20:18.30 | herlo | Gareth: you reminded me that I need to ping Lei again about scalereg |
20:18.37 | Gareth | Yes. Pleaes do. |
20:18.42 | Jayce^ | herlo: so apparently you knew Ben Roper at UVSC? |
20:18.46 | Gareth | we're seriously lagging on releasing that.. |
20:18.56 | herlo | I've been talking with other Conferences and it seems there's a lot of interest in combining |
20:19.02 | herlo | Jayce^: name sounds somewhat familiar |
20:19.11 | Gareth | herlo: ..and I'll pop a message off to our planning list about UTOS and the dates, venue announcement. |
20:19.19 | herlo | Gareth: I'll keep pinging lei too :) |
20:19.24 | herlo | Gareth: awesome!! |
20:19.38 | goozbach | ok so I'm going to request the entire week of the conference |
20:19.39 | herlo | thanks for any help we can get. Would love to see you guys out in Utah this October too |
20:19.51 | goozbach | I'll be ready and willing to help get setup |
20:20.02 | herlo | goozbach: sweet! we always need help :) |
20:20.22 | goozbach | and (knock on wood) I'll have a couple of presenations as well. |
20:23.20 | herlo | :) we hope so too! |
20:28.07 | goozbach | so here's an idea for my presentation and all presentations really. A QRcode of the link to download the presentation handout |
20:28.48 | goozbach | instead of the massive scramble of people trying to write down the url where your notes are, it's *SNAP* with a smartphone camera, and poof you have the url |
20:30.54 | herlo | goozbach: uh, we have links on every presentation from 2008 if they provided the slides |
20:31.03 | herlo | goozbach: is there something better about qrcode? |
20:31.58 | goozbach | well, it's just ANOTHER way to transmit the data |
20:32.21 | herlo | hmm, got a link? |
20:32.28 | goozbach | I'm building a presentation management tool right now. |
20:32.57 | herlo | if everyone in here could send a tweet or identi.ca (or whatever social network you're on) out about the topic, that'd be great! |
20:33.04 | goozbach | already did |

20:33.47 | goozbach | herlo: I don't have a link to my new tool or QR code but I'm trying to extend my presentation folder system to be much better than it is |

20:34.33 | herlo | goozbach: looking now |
20:34.42 | goozbach | and the page where everything is stored is here: http://blog.friocorte.com/presentation-storage/ |
20:34.56 | goozbach | the first page is dynamicly created via SSI |
20:35.08 | goozbach | by this page: http://blog.friocorte.com/presentation-storage/include.html |
20:35.21 | herlo | uh, that second link you gave says I want this bzr branch http://blog.friocorte.com/presentation-storage/ |
20:35.40 | herlo | that's interesting |
20:36.27 | goozbach | you can branch all of my presentations |
20:36.34 | herlo | that's cool |
20:36.53 | goozbach | I'm re-building that directory structure right now |
20:36.56 | herlo | needs to go back to his puppet learning... |
20:37.12 | goozbach | to be way easy to create a new presentation in an easy to share format |
20:37.35 | herlo | how do you create them? S5? |
20:37.48 | herlo | didn't check them out |
20:38.22 | goozbach | well those are mostly a hodgepodge of openoffice present format |
20:38.35 | goozbach | some OOo writer stuff |
20:38.41 | herlo | nice |
20:38.51 | goozbach | but the new format will be multi-markdown as the source documents |
20:38.56 | herlo | hmm |
20:38.58 | goozbach | and S5 as the slide format |

22:47.11 | undertakingyou | hi PatrickC |
22:48.13 | PatrickC | Introduction |
22:49.12 | PatrickC | I am Patrick, I live in West Jordan. |
22:49.27 | undertakingyou | Hi Patrick, how is West Jordan today? |
22:50.14 | PatrickC | Sunny and not very cold, feels like Spring. |
22:50.41 | undertakingyou | Very cool. It has been a nice day. |
22:51.44 | PatrickC | I am a computer science major at SLCC. |
22:51.57 | undertakingyou | Sweet |
22:52.45 | PatrickC | I support open source software. |
22:53.05 | undertakingyou | That is good, because it is a requirement to be here ;) |
22:55.02 | undertakingyou | How did you first hear about UTOS PatrickC ? |
22:57.03 | PatrickC | There is a banner for last years conference in the Science and Industry building at SLCC Redwood |
22:57.18 | undertakingyou | herlo: did we not take that away? |
22:57.36 | undertakingyou | PatrickC: we had our conference there last year. |
22:58.01 | herlo | undertakingyou: nope, they wanted one |
22:58.59 | undertakingyou | well, that is ok then :) |
22:59.15 | PatrickC | I saw Mozy on the banner. A friend of mine, Mark Suman works there. |
23:00.23 | undertakingyou | Yeah, they were a sponsor. Have you heard about this years conference? |
23:00.51 | PatrickC | I like Mozy, because they support off site backup for Mac OSX. |
23:01.46 | herlo | PatrickC: I keep bugging them for a Linux tool and then I can use their service |
23:01.55 | herlo | they keep promising it :) |
23:02.24 | PatrickC | I just got an e-mail about it from my department head. |
23:03.06 | herlo | PatrickC: David Moss? |
23:03.24 | PatrickC | Yes |
23:03.58 | herlo | cool |
23:04.04 | herlo | he was our host last year and was very helpful |
23:05.52 | PatrickC | I support the growth and expansion of open source projects on Max OS X. They need more people behind open source on that platform. |
23:07.11 | PatrickC | For example, I A&M u |
23:08.22 | PatrickC | I am trying to learn to use the GIMP in X11. |
23:09.56 | PatrickC | I also use Ubuntu in Suns VirtualBox |
23:10.21 | undertakingyou | PatrickC: do you use Banshee? |
23:11.03 | PatrickC | I guess not. Tell me about it. |
23:13.27 | undertakingyou | It is a music player. |
23:13.33 | undertakingyou | Way better than iTunes. |
23:13.49 | PatrickC | I see. |
23:13.50 | undertakingyou | They just made a Mac OSX port about 3 months ago. |
23:15.24 | PatrickC | I use MacPorts to get Mac binaries of Unix command line utilities. |
23:17.15 | PatrickC | I used it to build the Gecko rendering engine for the Camino web browser, an open source project. |
23:19.24 | PatrickC | The IRC client I am using now (Colloguy), is an open source project. |
23:20.14 | undertakingyou | I used MacPorts when I used Mac OSX. I found that half the time it couldn't download the stuff and would error out. Do you get that a lot? |
23:21.09 | PatrickC | I have not had that problem yet. |
23:21.35 | undertakingyou | I tried to install gnome-terminal and it would just timeout on the download. |
23:21.45 | undertakingyou | I had it with some others but I can't remember the names. |
23:22.49 | PatrickC | I A&M h |
23:24.44 | PatrickC | I am happy with my situation. I hope to get an excellent education, teach myself a lot, and practice as often as possible |
23:26.26 | Heartsbane | :) |
23:27.16 | PatrickC | I hope to do programming work I enjoy. I prefer enjoyment over 10% more income, I like and want be part of the developer community. |
23:30.55 | PatrickC | Is there a fee for the conference? |
23:31.18 | Heartsbane | Are you still a SLCC CS student? |
23:31.24 | undertakingyou | There will be. The fee schedule and things will be posted when registration opens. |
23:31.58 | PatrickC | Yes, I am a student |
23:32.54 | Heartsbane | if you show a current student ID then it should be free |
23:32.54 | undertakingyou | There is a deep discount for SLCC CS students. Last year it was free for early bird but $10 if you procrastinated. |
23:33.42 | PatrickC | Are there any panel discussions? |
23:33.59 | herlo | thinks it will be similar to LUGs this year, still a pretty good dicsount :) |
23:36.16 | PatrickC | Will there be panels? |
23:38.00 | undertakingyou | panels? Like wall panels? |
23:38.37 | herlo | lol, no like discussion panels silly :) |
23:38.43 | herlo | is sure that undertakingyou knows that |
23:39.34 | PatrickC | If there will not be anyone of more prominance representing Mac open source, I volunteer to be on any panels that are appropriate. |

23:41.11 | Heartsbane | PatrickC: call for papers haven't even been announced, but Jayce was looking into a panel |
23:42.00 | PatrickC | Okay. |
23:42.50 | undertakingyou | PatrickC: it may also be a good thing for you to submit once the call for papers does come out. |
