[04:16] <tbobo05> Why is the SC Ubuntu Loco website written in French?
[04:16] <Flare183> tbobo05: Its not
[04:18] <tbobo05> www.ubuntusc.com - that is the correct website, right?
[04:18] <Flare183> Nope
[04:18] <Flare183> that's the old one
[04:18] <tbobo05> Ah, well that one is in French then.
[04:19] <Flare183> yeah, the main domain expired
[04:20] <tbobo05> I'm taking it a squatter snatched up the domain.
[04:23] <Flare183> more or less, yes
[04:23] <Flare183> but then again
[04:23] <Flare183> we're going to be using ubuntusc.org
[04:24] <tbobo05> Not up yet?  URL has a nice ring to it, ubuntUSC.org
[04:28] <Flare183> lolol
[04:28] <Flare183> tbobo05: I'm working on it
[04:29] <tbobo05> I look forward to seeing it up.  Is the SC Loco team very active?
[04:30] <Flare183> Not really, but I'm working on it.
[04:30]  * Flare183 is the Team Leader
[04:30] <tbobo05> Where's it based out of?
[04:31] <Flare183> I'm from the upstate
[04:31] <Flare183> we're not really based from anywhere
[04:31] <tbobo05> Ah
[04:31] <tbobo05> Cool, I'm originally from the Upstate myself. I'm living in Columbia now though.
[04:32] <Flare183> Awesome
[04:53] <tbobo05> Alright, I'll pop back in periodically.  Hopefully you can get a active community going here in the state.  I would love to be able to speak with other people who enjoy running Linux.
[04:53] <tbobo05> Take care.

[08:14] <ra1v3n> Hello all
[08:16] <dlPhreak> ra1v3n: hi
[08:16] <ra1v3n> heya
[08:18] <dlPhreak> What is up with this existential reality.
[09:08] <ra1v3n> Existential?
[09:39] <andrewlsd> morning all
[09:43] <superfly> good evening
[09:44] <inetpro> good mornings
[09:44] <inetpro> Yakkety Yak (16.10) Final Beta Freeze https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2016-September/001192.html
[09:45] <inetpro> time for the brave souls to start testing
[09:46] <Kilos> hi guys , just trying to sort meds
[09:47] <andrewlsd> evening superfly inetpro
[09:50] <inetpro> ohi andrewlsd and Kilos as well
[09:51] <inetpro> and good to see the oom online again for a change even
[09:51] <inetpro> hopefully they fix him up properly
[09:55] <andrewlsd> indeed.
[10:11] <Kilos> im fine, just trying to work out all the meds i have to take to keep ticker working and stop it attacking me again
[10:13] <Kilos> and then gotta open a gofundme thing to try cover hospital costs, because they have already foned debs and said we have 7 days to pay $15000 au or they will notify the govt that im in default or some such thing
[10:13] <Kilos> how mney hungry can one be
[10:17] <superfly> joh
[10:22] <Kilos> lets just sort this gofundme thing and ill be back, you guys be good meantime
[10:24] <MaNI> don't you have travel medical insurance? I mean I thought that was pretty much a requirement to get a visa to a place like AUS
[10:45] <Kilos> i think travel only with etihad
[10:45] <Kilos> cant find where to see what it covered
[10:46] <Kilos> when we looked at medical insurance it was R2500 for 3 months , and we didnt have that money to spare
[10:47] <MaNI> they didn't require it as part of the visa process? seems strange they usually insist on it
[10:47] <Kilos> only if it was longer than 3 months
[10:49] <MaNI> unfortunate
[10:53] <MaNI> you didn't but the tickets on a credit card by any chance? You may qualify for some free coverage from your bank
[10:54] <Kilos> on my absa dedit card
[11:04] <Kilos> ill get ian to fone them tomorrow
[11:04] <Kilos> ty for that info
[11:05] <MaNI> usually only for credit cards
[11:06] <Kilos> sssshh dont tell them
[11:44] <inetpro> Kilos: I just got news earlier that our friend Clive passed away
[12:19] <Kilos> eish inetpro
[18:31] <inetpro> good evening
[18:31] <dlPhreak> hi inetpro
[18:31] <dlPhreak>  ▲
[18:31] <dlPhreak> ▲ ▲
[18:31] <inetpro> heh! :-)
[18:32] <inetpro> what's the meaning of the triangles?
[18:32] <dlPhreak> it's triforce lol
[18:33] <dlPhreak> I don't know if it displays correctly on your side but the three triangles should form a larger triangle.
[18:33] <inetpro> I can see it
[18:35] <inetpro> The golden triangle from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series of video games?
[18:36] <dlPhreak> yeah, the golden power.
[18:36] <inetpro> the inverted empty triangle in the middle is just not quite as visible as it should be :-)
[18:37] <dlPhreak> it's actually a special white space. In linux it's made with ctrl shift u 25b2
[18:38] <dlPhreak> or no that's the triangle, the space is ctrl shift u a0
[18:46] <inetpro> unfortunately that doesn't work in KDE
[19:16] <superfly> inetpro: perhaps dlPhreak's ctrl+space is the compose key?
[20:11] <inetpro> superfly: How to type unicode characters in KDE? http://superuser.com/questions/74763/how-to-type-unicode-characters-in-kde
[20:15] <superfly> inetpro: well there you go
[20:15] <inetpro> fortunately we don't use Unicode so much and using the common South African characters with the compose key is much easier than memorising the key combinations we got used to in the days of using Windows
[20:15] <superfly> indeed
[20:16] <inetpro> just set to South African keyboard during install and it couldn't get easier than that
[20:22] <inetpro> superfly: oh this is interesting... http://fsymbols.com/keyboard/linux/unicode/
[20:23] <inetpro> if you use the unicode key combination in the address field of firefox it works
[20:25] <inetpro> doesn't work in Kate or here on Quassel... I wonder what's the difference
[20:25] <MaNI> firefox is gtk
[20:26] <MaNI> kate is kdelibs/qt and quassel is qt - probably something to do with that
[20:26] <inetpro> MaNI: ah, that makes sense
[20:27] <MaNI> you can tell because firefox has those terrible file dialogs
[20:27] <MaNI> I'll never understand the gtk/gnome file dialogs
[20:27] <inetpro> true :-)
[20:28] <inetpro> at least I now also undertand that bug at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103788
[20:33] <inetpro> understand as well
[20:34] <superfly> Let's not talk about GTK.


[13:04] <rick_h> morning
[13:06] <cmaloney> Good morning
[13:06] <cmaloney> how's the day so far?
[13:06] <rick_h> cmaloney: what was up with the note on sponsoring? you run into it somewhere?
[13:06] <rick_h> it goes, monday yay
[13:07] <cmaloney> Yeah, PyOhio mentioned the sponsors page and I wanted to check to see if they'd accepted MUG as a non-profit
[13:07] <rick_h> oic, /me goes to look
[13:07] <cmaloney> and noticed some familiar names in the individual sponsors section
[13:08] <rick_h> yea, figured 10yrs time to fund it some :)
[13:08] <cmaloney> heh
[13:09] <rick_h> oh wow, only 7 did the individual eh? I'd have assumed more would.
[13:10] <cmaloney> I would have but... ;)
[13:11] <rick_h> yea, I mean I'm sure there's a pool of folks that would love to. I just know many folks there are able to do something.
[13:12] <cmaloney> Might just leave it at buying a T-Shirt
[13:12] <rick_h> I need to crank on the talk some more
[13:12] <rick_h> yea, I did that one year. Just got a shirt for erica
[13:12] <cmaloney> I've given this one twice but I need to practice it a little more
[13:12] <cmaloney> giving a talk on Tuesday for MUG
[13:12] <rick_h> that's nice, one day I need to actually regive a talk lol
[13:12] <rick_h> refine vs recreate
[13:12] <cmaloney> heh
[13:13] <cmaloney> Well, I gave it at MUG and then re-used it for Penguicon
[13:13] <cmaloney> so it should be extra-sharp
[13:13] <rick_h> nice
[13:14] <cmaloney> But they moved it to Sunday so it'll be extra-dull by presentation-time. ;)
[13:14] <rick_h> ah bummer
[13:14] <rick_h> I seemed to have an ok slot so kind of excited.
[13:14] <cmaloney> Meh, it happens
[13:15] <rick_h> not sure if the title/etc has any real draw, but the other talks didn't tickle me at all either
[13:16] <cmaloney> I think it has some draw
[13:17] <cmaloney> Oof, you're against the Lumberjack and the Coffeebot talk
[13:18] <rick_h> ah those going to be big draws?
[13:18]  * rick_h is out of touch lol
[13:18] <cmaloney> They got some high marks on the reviews page
[13:18] <rick_h> cool
[13:18] <cmaloney> One is about someone going from the lumber industry to becoming a developer
[13:19] <cmaloney> and the other one is someone's project for monitoring the coffee pot.
[13:19] <cmaloney> but you'll have at least one person in your talk. :)
[13:20] <cmaloney> (and no, that's not including you)
[13:20] <rick_h> lol
[13:20] <rick_h> it'll be all good :)
[13:20] <rick_h> I'm looking forward to it
[13:20] <cmaloney> same
[13:21] <cmaloney> And if you want to practice some talks there's a meeting on the second Tuesday of the month that is looking for talks. :)
[13:22] <rick_h> hah, I should come down at some point.
[13:37] <cmaloney> tomorrow I'm muddling through scheme
[13:37] <cmaloney> and Dr. Bob is talkng about the GNU toolchain
[13:37] <cmaloney> it'll be interesting
[13:59] <brousch> You all are always welcome to speak/attend GRPUG, too
[14:00] <brousch> Usually 6-12 people at the meetings
[14:14] <cmaloney> Hey now, I thought I was the only one who did the imposing here?
[14:25] <cmaloney> brousch: I'd love to hang out over at GRPUG sometime though
[14:26] <brousch> We go to Hopcat or GR Brewing afterwards for dinner and drinks
[14:26] <cmaloney> Hey, you could come to Royal Oak and replicate that
[14:26] <cmaloney> RO just got a HopCat
[15:11] <brousch> I've never been to one of the follow-on hopcats
[15:11] <brousch> cmaloney: This sounds like something you'd like https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/07/09/0414245/48-year-old-multics-operating-system-resurrected
[15:13] <cmaloney> brousch: Yeessh
[15:13]  * cmaloney remembers conversations with folks at Ford who spoke fondly of Multics. :)
