08:06.00HeartsbaneWell you know you could institute the 'Soylent Green' Policy
08:06.44Heartsbaneand solve that problem by making people == cake
08:27.23Heartsbaneyes but it tastes so good
08:27.36Gate_LaptopIts so delicious and moist.
08:30.26findlayso my apartment doesn't have an air filter on the furnace
08:30.29findlaynone
08:30.54findlayand the air ducts are coated with 50-60 years worth of dirt and dust
08:31.01findlayseriously, this place is old
08:31.24Gate_Laptopfindlay: that's OK, my heater hasn't worked since thanksgiving
08:31.44findlayevery time the furnace turns on a plume of dust, spores, and pathogens slowly permeates from each vent
08:31.49Gate_Laptopalthough the dust would be just as annoying
08:31.55findlayand it dries out my throat at night
08:32.03findlayand because of it I'm sick now
08:32.07Gate_Laptopeeew. I am never coming to your house.... ever.
08:32.44findlaythe management of this place is despicable.  They won't fix anything until it crumbles into a fetid, malignant ruin
08:32.56Gate_Laptopbah. I forgot how damned much handholding WinXP needs to get simple things like PDF readers and Office programs
08:33.21findlaywindows?  Do people still use *that*?!
08:33.41Gate_Laptopyou just described 90% of managers, with 9% of the remainder who will never fix it, even then.
08:34.03Gate_Laptophave to install it for my sister.... :(
08:34.25findlaythey don't even seem to care that we live in a decrepit ruin
08:34.46findlayand this is supposed to be BYU approved ... not
08:35.09Gate_Laptopno multiple desktops, no wget, no apt-get, no Firefox by default no Gimp by default..... Dear God I am spoiled on Linux
08:35.12findlayGate_Laptop: tell her to get out of the dark ages and throw away the playskool OS :)
08:35.52Gate_Laptopshe refuses to try Open Office a second time because she is convinced it was OOO's fault her spreadsheets got messed up
08:36.16Gate_Laptopso she won't use Linux. and I *have* to give her this laptop
08:37.27findlayhave her use gnumeric :)
08:37.35findlayway faster than OOOOOO
08:37.35Gate_Laptopnever tried it.
08:37.47Gate_Laptophmmmm, so not in *shudder* Java then?
08:37.49findlayit's nice
08:38.00findlayC mostly

17:49.55atoponcei'm teaching in dallas, and based on the signature of the guy i've been emailing, i'm making an educated guess
17:50.55Zelutatoponce: addresses should all be in ogo
17:51.30Zelutmorning before I ship out I go to ogo & print out that page, print out the maps between those locations and check-in and print the ticket.
17:51.37Zelut..but you should have everything you need in there

19:00.11atoponcedo the students fill out a survey like the rh courses? if so, how do i deliver that survey?
19:00.26herlothey do, usually its a paper survey given by the TC
19:00.38herloyou should just ask them about it on Monday
19:00.51atoponceok. what about a certificate. don't the students get one for attending a gl class?
19:01.06herlothat should also be provided by the TC
19:01.14herloyou'll probably have to sign them
19:01.30atoponceis there anything i need to print out or bring to the training center besides my book?
19:01.47herlonope
19:02.05herlobtw, I usually teach from the pdfs instead of bringing a book, its much more convenient
19:02.25atoponceok

19:48.00Traveler97Hello everyone
19:48.51Traveler97Please chat with me as I have some questions that need to be answered
19:49.29herloTraveler97: I'd probably suggest that you put the questions out there and if anyone can answer they will...
19:49.43herloor they will point you in the right direction, at least
19:50.33Traveler97I was able to download ubuntu and burn it to a cd. I was not able to setup the wifi for my internet connection
19:51.25Traveler97I have been trying to download linux 2.0.8 and after 36 hours, I am still only about 65% complete
19:51.44herlo2.0.8?  that's a bit old
19:51.45Zelutwhat is linux 2.0.8?
19:52.21Traveler97I want to have the better wifi support that linux 2.0.8 is suppose to have built into the program
19:52.44Traveler97This is a freespire program
19:52.47herloTraveler97: where did you get this "linux 2.0.8"
19:53.18Traveler97http://wiki.freespire.org/index.php/Download_Freespire
19:53.39herlofreespire != ubuntu
19:53.50Traveler97it uses ubuntu 7.04 for the base
19:54.12ZelutTraveler97: agreed.  If you need Freespire help this is probably not the best place.  I might look for a Freespire channel or something
19:55.14atoponceTraveler97: /join #freespire
19:56.00Traveler97I do belong to freespire and have not gotten any real answers so far
19:56.37atoponcethey'll be your best bet
19:56.38ZelutTraveler97: I'm sure we'd like to help but I know nothing about Freespire and have no idea what they may have changed since the original "based on Ubuntu"
19:56.46ZelutTraveler97: if you'd like to try Ubuntu we're all ears :)
19:57.08atoponcethey used to be based on debian, until kevin carmoney saw the light
19:57.17Traveler97I am wondering that if I could download the CNR client and burn it to a cd and then run this on the ubuntu program
19:57.36atoponcebut they're *far* from a traditional linux, and have forked *way* too much of the base to be even 1/2 way relevant
19:58.39Traveler97I have a different HDD I will be installing on this pc and it has never had an OS on it before
19:59.11atoponceTraveler97: did you join #freespire on freenode, or oftc?
19:59.29atoponceirc.oftc.net/#freespire is the official support channel for that linux
19:59.42Traveler97I did have ubuntu installed for about a week and worked hard to get my wifi running without any luck
20:01.31atoponceyou probably won't find good support for freespire on freenode
20:02.11Traveler97then what am I to do without having to go back to windows
20:02.16ZelutTraveler97: if you're willing to switch back to Ubuntu I'd be more than happy to help you with your wifi.. I just know nothing about Freespire & can't really offer any advice there.
20:02.52Traveler97this is why I joined in on this group
20:03.14Traveler97I love the idea of ubuntu
20:03.23ZelutI've managed to get wifi working on 99% of the cards I've battled.  There are a rare few that I've found impossible.
20:03.41Traveler97I have belkin
20:04.49Zelutcan you run 'lspci' and paste the output to http://pastebin.com
20:06.22Traveler97I am not familiar with what you are asking for.
20:07.24Traveler97I took ubuntu off this pc until I got the different HDD which came in yesterday
20:09.13Traveler97I am going from a Samsung 40 GB hdd to a WD 250 GB hdd
20:15.39Traveler97Zelut I can be e-mailed with the instructions for setting up the wifi. I have access to my wife's pc which is in the same room with this pc
20:17.19Traveler97my usual log in name is bigcats374
