| [12:07] <popey> dholbach: fetching data for ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com ... nothing in queue | |
| [12:07] <popey> :D | |
| [12:08] <popey> got the password reset and added to my listadmin | |
| [12:08] <dholbach> popey, was it up at 24967429674296 before that? | |

| [15:52] <cjohnston> dholbach: UOS is going to be every 6 months now? | |
| [15:52] <dholbach> cjohnston, that's how I understood the discussion at UOS | |
| [15:53] <cjohnston> dholbach: I wasn't a part of it, so I'll trust that its accurate.. I just hadn't heard it yet | |
| [15:53] <dholbach> oops, wrong button | |
| [15:54] <cjohnston> oops | |
| [15:54] <dholbach> right... that should probably get into an announcement once the dates are agreed on | |
| [15:54] <cjohnston> dholbach: probably should request uos.ubuntu.com and do some work on uds.ubuntu.com to s/d/o | |
| [15:55] <dholbach> yes, I think I sent an RT for that - or at least mentioned it in a discussion with the webteam | |
| [15:55] <cjohnston> gotcha | |
| [17:04] <dholbach> all rightie... I'll call it a day - see you all tomorrow! | |
| [19:15] <philipballew> If I am buying laptop. Is a thinkpad usually always going to be a good bet, or am I better off with something else? | |
| [19:21] <popey> depends | |
| [19:21] <popey> generally yes, thinkpads are good for support, so are dell | |
| [19:23] <philipballew> i have always had dells,but I see a lot of thinkpads, so I figure they are a safe bet. Also for support as breaking things is a hobby of mine... | |
| [19:23] <philipballew> but I am not afraid of a dell again i guess. | |
| [19:26] <popey> the downside of thinkpads is that many of the new models have insane keyboards | |
| [19:26] <pleia2> yeah, makes switching between a thinkpad and... anything else brain explode | |
| [19:29] <pleia2> my hp elitebooks are nice, have the 9470m for work and bought the 850 G1 personally (blah blah disclaimer, you know my employer) | |
| [19:32] <popey> jcastro: tell philipballew how awesome the thinkpad keyboards are | |
| [19:32] <philipballew> I currently use my dell because it has a pointing stick :) | |
| [19:32] <pleia2> jcastro: where is the tilde/backtick again? ;) | |
| [19:32] <philipballew> or whatever slang people use for that term | |
| [19:32] <pleia2> so much rage | |
| [19:32] <popey> yeah, thats what keeps me on thinkpads | |
| [19:33] <pleia2> pfft, me elitebooks have them | |
| [19:34] <pleia2> I don't really care for them though | |
| [19:35] <philipballew> I am going to avoid a macbook though as that would make me a "hipster wannabee" | |
| [19:35] <czajkowski> aloha | |
| [19:35] <pleia2> they're also very expensive for what you get | |
| [19:36] <philipballew> unless you need to use osx | |
| [19:36] <jcastro> squiggly keys | |
| [19:36] <jcastro> I call them squiggly | |
| [19:37] <jcastro> but yes, thinkpad keyboards are the immaculate input device | |
| [19:37] <jcastro> well, some of them anyway | |
| [19:37] * philipballew currently uses a dell latitude. | |
| [19:38] <pleia2> my favorite thing about the new thinkpads is they figured out the right way to put the logo on the top (not upside down) and the glowing red light | |
| [19:38] <popey> finally! | |
| [19:38] <popey> have they figured that the battery light needs to face you, and not the person opposite? | |
| [19:38] <popey> never figured that out | |
| [19:39] <jcastro> the new thinkpad kb and touchpads are some of the worst devices ever made | |
| [19:39] <jcastro> they're pretty horrible | |
| [19:39] <jcastro> though lenovo says they're getting rid of them | |
| [19:39] <popey> oh!? | |
| [19:39] <popey> going back to the "Thinkpad Classic" keyboard? | |
| [19:39] <pleia2> that's good | |
| [19:40] * philipballew might take his chances and get one | |
| [19:40] <philipballew> its been 8 years with Dell | |
| [19:41] <philipballew> Cant people get used to any keyboard? | |
| [19:42] <pleia2> not me, I'm old and set in my ways | |
| [19:42] <pleia2> grump grump | |
| [19:42] <philipballew> Get off my lawn! | |
| [19:43] <mhall119> popey: you have a battery indicator facing you | |
| [19:43] <philipballew> yep, probably gonna try out the T series. | |
| [19:47] <philipballew> Being a linux foundation member gives me a discount! | |
| [19:47] <popey> mhall119: nope, the battery light only faces outwards | |
| [19:47] <philipballew> nice | |
| [19:48] <popey> no, the one in the gui on my ubuntu laptop doesn't count | |
| [19:48] <popey> because if my display is off (power saved) it makes _no_ sense to wake it up (eating more battery) just to check the battery life | |
| [19:49] <popey> http://socialsanta.co/user/ubuntu tsk tsk | |
| [19:49] <popey> bet that was jono | |
| [19:50] <mhall119> popey: obviously that site doesn't know that 'systemd' is profanity | |
| [19:50] <philipballew> popey, we can up that | |
| [19:51] <jono> popey, :-) | |
| [19:52] <mhall119> http://socialsanta.co/user/mhall119 not sure if I'm nice, or just don't use twitter enough | |
| [19:53] <popey> dont look at mine ⍨ | |
| [20:33] <jono> it turns out I am 11% nice | |
| [20:33] <jono> :-) | |
| [20:38] <elfy> it turns out it's a good job I don't do any of that social stuff ... | |
| [20:38] <elfy> evening jono et al | |
| [20:38] <jono> howdy elfy :-) | |
| [20:43] <skellat> Good afternoon jono | |
| [20:43] <jono> hey skellat ! :-) | |
