[00:26] <rmg51> good thing I don't use Unity
[00:27] <rmg51> just upgraded to 12.10 and Unity is broken
[00:30] <waltman> How was CPOSC?
[00:35] <rmg51> I didn't go
[00:36] <rmg51> never planned to
[01:07] <JonathanD> good waltman
[01:11] <waltman> I'm sorry I couldn't make it, but I did have a lot of fun doing alumni-type stuff :)
[01:13] <waltman> Did you go to the ABC afterwards?
[09:40] <rmg51> Morning
[10:48] <JonathanD> hey
[11:02] <rmg51> running late
[11:02] <rmg51> time for my walk
[11:07] <rmg51> if it's not raining
[11:44] <waltman> morning?
[12:11] <InHisName> Still dry so far up here, this morning.
[12:25] <waltman> It sounded like it was raining all night here.
[12:26] <waltman> Really nice sleeping weather. My windows face NE, so I rarely get a breeze in unless there's storm brewing.

[14:01] <rmg51> waltman: couldn't find you ;-)
[14:34] <waltman> I couldn't find me either.
[19:48] <waltman> Any suggestions for a remote desktop client for linux? I found a site that recommended tsclient, but that no longer appears to be in either debian or ubuntu.
[19:49] <waltman> maybe rdesktop?
[20:04] <waltman> Wow! That works surprisingly well.
[20:21] <jthan> waltman: good results?
[20:21] <jthan> Is it secure by default in some fashion, or did you have to tunnel it over ssh/vpn?
[20:25] <waltman> Not a clue. I just turned it on on my windows 7 box at $lab and then ran rdesktop at home.
[20:26] <jthan> Lol, nice.
[20:26] <jthan> Now everyone is using it!
[20:26] <waltman> I'm mostly just surprised that it's fast enough to use.
[20:27] <waltman> Well, they still need my username and password
[20:27] <waltman> which I guess they just sniffed off the line.
[20:28] <waltman> just scanning through rdesktop's manpage, it seems to be encrypted.
[20:30] <waltman> Honestly it doesn't seem much slower or laggy than win7 normally does :)
[20:32] <jthan> That's good to know.
[20:33] <jthan> My linode won't keep time
[20:33] <jthan> and the thing is.. I just synced it with ntp and all
[20:33] <jthan> and it's still wrong
[20:33] <jthan> SO I don't get it
[20:33] <jthan> Sun Oct 28 14:41:36 MDT 2012
[20:38] <jedijf> jthan: look in the linode library for your answer
[20:41] <jedijf> waltman: i have tsclient
[20:41] <jedijf> in ubu 1104
[20:52] <jthan> jedijf: That's a possibility. Sounds like work, though
[21:20] <waltman> jedijf: I'm running 12.04 on my linode and it's not there.
[21:29] <rmg51> tsclient is not in the repos for 12.04
[21:39] <waltman> Doesn't really matter. rdesktop seemed to work just fine.
[23:57] <ChinnoDog> DC Metro service for Monday is cancelled.
[23:59] <ChinnoDog> I have tickets to a concert tomorrow but I can't find evidence it is cancelled. hmm


[21:54] <gordonjcp> evening
[21:55] <gordonjcp> I've got some softsynth stuff I'd like to port to a Linux plugin
[21:55] <gordonjcp> what's the current favourite for that?
[22:57] <OvenWerks> gordonjcp: it depends what kind of sound you would like.
[23:03] <OvenWerks> gordonjcp: for sound font sounds: fluid synth, either as a jack client or as a plugin. For additive/subtractive synthisis: zynaddsubfx or yoshimi. For piano: pianotech (non-free) for B3:setBfree. for pipe organ: aeolus.
[23:09] <OvenWerks> For a dx7 type synth: dexed.
[23:12] <OvenWerks> fluidsynth does have piano sounds too and there are sample player plugins around (I don't remember their name) but I like the dynamics of pianotech (speaking as a non-piano player :)
