| 18:07 | <mistik1> hey guys, ltns
| |
| 18:08 | sbalneav, ping
| |
| 18:10 | <sbalneav> mistik1: Hey!
| |
| 18:10 | How are you?
| |
| 18:11 | <mistik1> I'm good man, how you been?
| |
| 18:11 | <sbalneav> Doing well!
| |
| 18:12 | What you up to these days?
| |
| 18:12 | <mistik1> Still coding for food and building CNC machines
| |
| 18:13 | <sbalneav> Oh cool
| |
| 18:13 | <mistik1> My computer life and carpentry life has merged in CNC
| |
| 18:13 | <sbalneav> I'm still at Legal Aid... got 7 more years to go until I can retire.
| |
| 18:15 | <mistik1> That's pretty cool, when you're done retire out here :)
| |
| 18:16 | I'll get started on the pool
| |
| 18:18 | When I came home I thought I would find 1000 uses for ltsp but alas everything is wireless out here
| |
| 18:19 | <maldridge> I have seen laptops with wifi pxe capacity, worst design ever but they do exist
| |
| 18:20 | <sbalneav> Meh, kind of a moot point in many ways.
| |
| 18:20 | <mistik1> yea
| |
| 18:20 | <sbalneav> 15 years ago, we in the linux community wanted to win the desktop. It was our dream.
| |
| 18:21 | In the end, we won everything BUT the desktop.
| |
| 18:21 | Server, embedded, mobile... most of it runs linyx
| |
| 18:21 | <mistik1> so true
| |
| 18:21 | <sbalneav> *linux
| |
| 18:22 | <mistik1> As a developer I have ran into some of the reasons we did not win the desktop...
| |
| 18:23 | <sbalneav> I, personally like linux as a desktop; but I actually understand computers. Most don't.
| |
| 18:23 | <mistik1> I told some guys in linux audio one that just because its opensource does not been the interface has to look like a NASA control panel
| |
| 18:23 | s/one/once/
| |
| 18:24 | <sbalneav> That's the tweaker mindset; we want access to everything.
| |
| 18:24 | Joe Average just wants a volume knob :D
| |
| 18:24 | <mistik1> exactly
| |
| 18:24 | Its called an advanced settings button
| |
| 18:25 | <sbalneav> Those are scary, and don't work. People bumble into them, and then screw something up.
| |
| 18:25 | Hence: Apple.
| |
| 18:25 | And Apple products work quite well.
| |
| 18:26 | You just have to do things *the way apple wants you to*.
| |
| 18:26 | For a lot of people, who don't care about technical details, that's fine.
| |
| 18:27 | <mistik1> No perfect world is there?
| |
| 18:27 | <sbalneav> People like me obsess over "Should I arrange my MP3's by artist, album, songs, or artist - album, song? Should I use underscores in the name, or are spaces ok?", etc.
| |
| 18:27 | Joe Average just plugs everything into iTunes and forgets it. :D
| |
| 18:28 | <mistik1> lol
| |
| 18:29 | I find myself somewhere in the middle these days
| |
| 18:30 | I no longer want to tweak everything every time but I want to be able to.
| |
| 18:30 | <sbalneav> I still obsess over the mp3's, but I simply accept that I'm in the tiny minority. I've given up trying to "promote" linux; most people just don't want the kind of control that I do.
| |
| 18:31 | And it works out well for me; Since I don't know bugger-all about windows anymore, I don't have to help people with their incessant windows problems :D I just claim (and actually am) ignorance.
| |
| 18:32 | <mistik1> amen to that
| |
| 18:33 | I am so out of that game, I reject everything these days
| |
| 18:34 | I'd rather build a PCB now, than deal with people's problems and repairs
| |
| 18:34 | <sbalneav> heh, the older and more knowledgeable you get, the less you need to interact with others, and the more you can just architecht your own little "perfect" world. :D
| |
| 18:35 | <mistik1> :D
| |
| 18:38 | <sbalneav> The plan is, once I get retired, and no longer have "job" type stuff to worry about, I can spend summers doing the outdoorsy stuff I like, and winters doing the open-source stuff.
| |
| 18:39 | <mistik1> sounds like a good plan
| |
| 18:44 | hey Scott. still got the same email?
| |
| 18:45 | I want to show you something
| |
| 18:50 | <sbalneav> sbalneav@ltsp.org works find.
| |
| 18:50 | *fine
| |
| 18:56 | <mistik1> on its way
| |
| 19:13 | <sbalneav> Wow
| |
| 19:13 | That's pretty amazing
| |
| 19:29 | <mistik1> thanks
