<joey> welcome tekoholic
<joey> FunnyLookinHat: ^^
<FunnyLookinHat> ?!
<FunnyLookinHat> !!
<joey> tekoholic: ok our next goal is to shame rockstar into getting his ticket. He's been studying for months :-)
<FunnyLookinHat> Ticket for what?
<tekoholic> joey: How shameful shall we be??  I didn't even study...
<joey> tekoholic: he can probably pass extra in his sleep at this point
<joey> FunnyLookinHat: ham radio!
<tekoholic> 'Course, I've been playing with the "Chicken-Band" for years...
<FunnyLookinHat> Oh you hammers.....
<FunnyLookinHat> Pardon me for preferring digital transmissions... :)
<tekoholic> We can use digital...
<FunnyLookinHat> Errr... you can?  What frequency?
<FunnyLookinHat> And what protocol?
<FunnyLookinHat> I thought HAM was limited to shortwave analog transmissions...
<tekoholic> Whatever the Ham License we carry, and the hardware we possess are capable of, I believe...
<tekoholic> I've got a local pal, has a radio that can transmit AM, FM, Digital, Analog, and on nearly any frequency in any of the Ham Bands...
<tekoholic> Can even transmit data and voice on the same channel simultaneously, although I think that's ONLY in digital modes.
<FunnyLookinHat> Yeah I'm pretty sure it would have to be digital.
<FunnyLookinHat> But that's awesome - very cool
<tekoholic> FunnyLookinHat: Where ya' from?  I'm in Wellington
<FunnyLookinHat> Denver - but I work in Boulder...  My parents live in Loveland though - so I'm familiar with N. Co.
<tekoholic> Nice.  I have a few clients in Loveland.
<FunnyLookinHat> tekoholic: what do you do ?
<tekoholic> I'm a computer tek
<FunnyLookinHat> Ah ok - nifty
<tekoholic> I've converted a good few to (K)Ubuntu

<Garheade> Evening.
<Garheade> My photos are a mess can anyone recomend a decent photo organizer?
<FunnyLookinHat> Shotwell ?
<FunnyLookinHat> I think a lot of people like that one.
<FunnyLookinHat> I personally use Google+ to manage all of my photos... but that's a bit round-about.
<Garheade> The whole Picasa/G+ relationship is bugging me a bit.
<Garheade> I let some faminly use my comp and they seriously messed up my photos by reloading backups...
<Garheade> several times...
<Garheade> :(
<Garheade> On a windows machine... :(
#ubuntu-us-co 2012-12-19
<Garheade> Hola amigos.
<FunnyLookinHat> YO
<FunnyLookinHat> Garheade, what's shakin
<Garheade> Stuck in Factory Acceptance Testing today.
<FunnyLookinHat> ouch
<Garheade> exactly
<Garheade> On the plus side, a years worth of failures are passing... a week before go-live but theyre passing.
<FunnyLookinHat> NICE
<FunnyLookinHat> That's a huge plus  :)
<Garheade> Yes it is.
<Garheade> If I could just get this darn VPN working on my Toughbook, I could ditch this darn windows machine full time...
<Cheri703> Hey, random question from an out-of-state lurker: anyone in u-co affiliated with Denhac?
<Cheri703> I'm visiting CO in a few weeks and I'm planning to go to the open house on 01/08
<FunnyLookinHat> Cheri703, there are a few of us who are, but I don't think any of them idle here
<FunnyLookinHat> I'd join the mailing list and send a message along.
<Cheri703> ah, ok, thanks. :) I'm eyeing denver as a place to move in the future and happen to have a work trip there, so I'm staying a few extra days to explore :D
<FunnyLookinHat> Where do you live now ?
<Cheri703> Ohio
<FunnyLookinHat> no brainer
<FunnyLookinHat> move here.
<Cheri703> it's....not terribly exciting here
<Cheri703> hehe
<FunnyLookinHat> :)
<Cheri703> Oh, I want to, I'm curious how I'll do with the elevation mainly. Also I live in a SMALL town here, so my rent is like less than half what a place in denver proper would be
<Cheri703> so that's a mental hurdle to cross
<FunnyLookinHat> ah yeah
<Cheri703> hoping the visit will convince me it's totally worth the extra housing costs
<FunnyLookinHat> Salary and pay around here usually adjusts pretty well for the cost of living.
<FunnyLookinHat> Whats sort of work do you do ?
<Cheri703> sorry, had to grab my lunch
<Cheri703> I work remotely, so my salary would stay the same wherever I live (barring raises of course)
<Cheri703> I'm a customer support "engineer" for www.thehackeracademy.com
<FunnyLookinHat> Ah
<FunnyLookinHat> Interesting....  :D
<Cheri703> I enjoy it :)
<FunnyLookinHat> Cheri703, the other thing to keep in mind - living in Lakewood or Aurora can be about 1/2 as much as living in Denver proper... so just keep that in mind.  :)
<Cheri703> yeah, I've been doing a ton of research. One main goal is for a walkable/bikeable area. I'm car-free even in my semi-rural ohio town, so I wouldn't want to buy a car when moving somewhere more expensive
<FunnyLookinHat> Move to boulder then  :)
<FunnyLookinHat> It's very bike friendly  :)
<FunnyLookinHat> though expensive...
<Cheri703> I....am allergic to hipsters >_>
<Cheri703> hehe
<FunnyLookinHat> Denver = Hipsters
<FunnyLookinHat> Boulder = Hippies
<FunnyLookinHat> They're both contagious though... so watch out.
<Cheri703> ah, well, at least denver is big enough to avoid them?
<Cheri703> theoretically ;)
<FunnyLookinHat> ha yea

<lirakis> hey FunnyLookinHat  got my Galago ultrapro last night.  I like it a lot so far, but i have one question... how do I "center click" with the mouse pad?
<FunnyLookinHat> lirakis, Oh congrats!
<lirakis> :)
<FunnyLookinHat> Center click - that's a good question - I believe you would have to find a gesture utility and bind something like a three-finger click to that
<FunnyLookinHat> or a key + click combo
<lirakis> hum ok
<FunnyLookinHat> I'm kind of a noob when it comes to desktop config... I was just googling like crazy yesterday to figure out how to switch the Alt + Command keys on my wife's 6 year old macbook w/ Ubuntu...
<lirakis> normalyl its just been clicking both the right and left mouse buttons
<FunnyLookinHat> I'd open a support ticket if I were you - the guys should know how to take care of it
<lirakis> ok
<FunnyLookinHat> Ah yeah - well it's a clickpad on that model - so I think you'd have to do a special bind
<FunnyLookinHat> lirakis, Have you heard of an app called "xsel" ?  I'm seeing forums posts about that helping to configure mouse gestures.
<lirakis> hum i cant remember really
<lirakis> ill search around and see
<FunnyLookinHat> Hmm nope that doesn't help
<snafu006> geez eveyone is getting system76
<FunnyLookinHat> lirakis, Try this: synclient ClickFinger3=3
<FunnyLookinHat> In a console
<FunnyLookinHat> Then try three-finger clicking
<FunnyLookinHat> Oh sorry
<FunnyLookinHat> I meant
<FunnyLookinHat> synclient ClickFinger3=2
<FunnyLookinHat> Middle click is 2 - :)
<snafu006> lirakis: here http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/assign-actions-to-multi-touch-trackpad.html
<lirakis> FunnyLookinHat, hum didnt seem to work strait away
<lirakis> snafu006, thanks ill look
<FunnyLookinHat> Ah good link snafu006 !
<lirakis> normally ubuntu has some mechanisms to configure this within the mouse control but i didnt see anything
<lirakis> i have 2 finger scroll etc. all working
<lirakis> just ... not center click - im reluctant to throw some 3rd party app on top it
<lirakis> ill do some searching, i just thought id ask you first
<snafu006> ya
<FunnyLookinHat> lirakis, remind me what center click is supposed to do?  It's been a while since I had something that used that.
<lirakis> normally i use it to quick copy paste
<lirakis> so highlight text
<lirakis> then i go to some other input box and center click
<lirakis> and it just pastes
<snafu006> lirakis: maybe this one http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/43097/
<FunnyLookinHat> Ahhh
<snafu006> last one a good one too http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1361
<lirakis> hum
<lirakis> actually i realized now ... that if you highlight text ... its autocopied
<lirakis> and you can just control+v
<lirakis> that is fine with me
<lirakis> i just dont like haveing to highlight, then copy, then paste
<lirakis> highlight then paste is fine
<FunnyLookinHat> heh
