00:29.28detratehey
00:29.49detratedisappointing reply on the mailing list
00:32.32patrickosullivanI saw that, Frans is expecting you to basically import everything from lugot.org to .net, apparently
00:33.49patrickosullivanalso makes it seem as if he hasn't visited lugot.net
00:34.17patrickosullivanoh well, it looks like he's ok with the idea of the current lugot.net becoming the main site
00:48.11detrateit's harder to port that data when it's in the form of a website
00:48.29patrickosullivanyeah, you'd need the raw SQL data I'm sure
00:48.31detrateI don't think he realized I'm the one that sent the email with the questions
00:48.37detratebecause he was saying that "Tyler can"
00:48.55patrickosullivanyeah, or he just likes speaking of other people in the third person
00:48.59detratebut Tyler feels like the wind is being taken out of sails with this move
00:50.04patrickosullivanat first I was looking for that in the email, just realized you're talking in the third person
00:50.14detratelol ^_^
00:50.42detrateThis just seems like a "do my job for me" sort of bit
00:50.48detratebut this is not what I signed up to do
00:51.16patrickosullivanyou could say that you don't have the huge amount of time necessary to transfer that data
00:51.36patrickosullivanor to transfer it the way it would need to be transferred, anyway
00:51.42patrickosullivanwhich I would assume is true
00:52.10detrateit's a waste of my time and resources as far as I'm concerned
00:52.17detrateI feel like I'm getting mixed messages here
00:52.29patrickosullivanI think that's a sufficient enough explanation for why it can't be done
00:52.32detrateat the meeting they told me the group has no assets and they didn't need anything from the old site.
00:52.52detratebut then ray doubled-back and more-so I feel like he was trying to lay it on me.
00:53.06patrickosullivanit's a voluntary club, if they had hired you as an admin, then it would make sense to expect you to do all of that, but you're administrating this as a charity in the first place
00:53.12detrateWhile I just want to provide and up-to-date resource and get this moving forward.
00:53.19detrateyes
00:53.29detratewell I don't feel like putting .org backup was the right move.
00:53.51detrateif the intention was to extract the data, I feel like a package or cleaned up database dump would suffice.
00:54.51patrickosullivanat this point I think the ball is in your court, since they have sheepishly moved responsibility in your court, you now have the option to say "well, it would be nice if we could get all of that data, but I don't have the time or resources to do so"
00:54.51detratebut old members are busy flirting with nostolgia
00:54.52patrickosullivanand they won't have much room to complain, since they abdicated responsibility
00:54.52detrateyes, I'll give this a day and see what people have to say.
00:55.13detrateit went from a bunch of indians with no chief to a bunch of chiefs with no indians pretty quick
00:55.28patrickosullivanha, pretty apt description
00:55.29detratebut now when shit gets serious, I feel like no one wants to follow through
00:56.28patrickosullivanI say we just keep doing what we were doing and run with our own momentum
00:56.47patrickosullivanif we get bogged down in the wishy-washy politics of this stuff it may end up discouraging any progress
00:57.04detratewe have to resolve this 2 web applications running issue before google starts indexing
00:57.23detrateinteresting that ray still hasn't replied to my response about my views on open-source
00:57.38detrateeventhoough Last Active: Today, 12:03 AM
00:57.56patrickosullivanmy vote is to ditch drupal. maybe we should poll via mailing list on that subject.
01:00.03detrateobviously mine is the same and as I believe I've made it clear, my concern is not with remembering the past but building the future
01:00.24detrateI have nothing again preservation but those who want it most should make it happen using the open resources I've provided
01:00.39patrickosullivanagreed
01:00.41detrateThey could be in this chat room right now with the click of a button and ask for more if they need it.
01:01.16patrickosullivanthat reminds me, I haven't checked out that IRC widget yet
01:01.18patrickosullivanchecking it out now
01:01.21detrate^_^
01:01.29*** join/#lugot Patrick (i=442a3289@gateway/web/freenode/x-levanilayyqeyayq)
01:01.42PatrickIt's integrated pretty nicely
01:02.13detrateI do what I can :-P
01:02.34Guest6150hmm, just got a NickServ notice: -NickServ- You failed to identify in time for the nickname patrick
01:02.51detratesomeone owns that name
01:02.59detratefreenode is pretty strict about names
01:03.02detrateand communities
01:03.03detrateand channels
01:03.11detrate## channels here are "official"
01:03.11Guest6150that would make sense
01:03.31Guest6150#lugot is basically the only freenode channel I really frequent
01:03.38detrateah, I  have a bundle
01:04.06patrickosullivanI'd like to find other interesting channels
01:04.15detrate/whois detrate
01:04.31detratemaybe none of that will interest you
01:05.22patrickosullivanha, #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu-women may
01:08.31detrateyeah, I'm in a lot of nerdy ones other than that
01:08.38detrateimage magick is amazing btw

01:12.08detrateI'd show you something sweet but Nexuiz Ninjaz doesn't seem to want to respond
01:15.00patrickosullivansomething to demonstrate image magick?
01:19.00detratehttp://www.nexuizninjaz.com/forum/Thread-Tips-for-creating-CTF-red-and-blue-textures-in-Linux.html
01:20.43patrickosullivanhow long have you been doing all of your image editing with open source tools?
01:21.23detrateonly in the past 8 months or so
01:21.42detrateI still occasionally need to bust out photoshop at work
01:21.42detratebut I do the bulk of in GIMP
01:21.43detratemostly because it's native
01:22.15detrateOtherwise, I flip my right monitor to OS X (I have a mac mini on a KVM) and network back into my left monitor running Linux still with synergy-plus
01:22.43detrateso when my cursor hits the left edge of the right monitor when in OS X, it will seamlessly move to Linux
01:23.21detrateI can copy/paste text across the machines, to transfer files I have to use a networked folder
01:23.43patrickosullivanoh wow, that is pretty bad ass
01:23.51patrickosullivanthe cursor and the copy/paste abilities
01:23.56detrateyeah, except... I dislike OS X :)
01:24.17patrickosullivanbecause it's closed source/command and control?
01:24.24detrateI find it very limiting even compared to windows
01:24.41detratethe terminal is _decent_ but not near as good as linux GUI terminals
01:24.47detrategnome-terminal and konsole are great
01:25.29detratethere are little stupid things too... like I have to hack config files to add the full path to the titlebar of finder?
01:25.34detratethat shoudl be a checkbox
01:25.39detratebut finder is a piece of shit anyway.
01:25.44patrickosullivanwell, there are alternative terminals, I will say
01:25.45patrickosullivanand yeah
01:25.47patrickosullivanfinder is shit
01:25.49detrateyes, I use iterm
01:25.57detrateand I was told to BUY a new file explorer
01:25.58detratebut funk that
01:26.31patrickosullivanyeah, supposedly Snow Leopard has included a rewritten finder, I believe
01:26.44detrateGUI needs _a_lot_ more
01:26.47detratetabs at least
01:27.49patrickosullivantabs would be pretty convenient
01:27.59patrickosullivanI haven't looked into any alternative file browsers
01:28.04detratenautilus isn't perfect but it's great
01:28.06detrateI've looked
01:28.14detrateand there aren't any good FREE ones for OS X
01:28.18detratefink and macports are bullshit
01:28.27detrateanyone that says they are a decent solution is out of their mind
01:28.42patrickosullivanit seems like, in the near future, there will be a demand for a decent free/open one on OS X, but the user base is so small and disinterested in free software for some reason
01:29.03detrateI doubt apple will comply
01:29.09detratethey WANT a closed system
01:29.21detratethey just take advantage of open-source imho
01:29.30patrickosullivanwell, I'm saying a community may build an "open finder" sort of thing
01:29.40patrickosullivanbut most apple users are pretty novice
01:29.47detrateit'll be worse than linux software they complain about :-P
01:29.50patrickosullivanso it seems like building the community there might be difficult
01:30.11detratethe only DECENT community app I can think of for OS X is adium
01:30.24patrickosullivanwhich is a pretty great app
01:30.29patrickosullivanbut that's really all I can think of, too
01:30.38detrateyeah
01:30.59detrateWhen I first got the mac mini I looks for software and improvements all over the place
01:31.08detrateanything decent pretty much requires breaking the operating system :-P
01:32.10patrickosullivanyeah, not a very customizable system
01:32.10detrateactually I did come across 1 recent themer that didn't break the OS
01:32.10detratethe name escapes me
01:32.53detratewireless management of hidden networks is a hassle
01:32.58detrateI have to type them in every time
01:33.15patrickosullivanhmmm, I've never had that problem
01:33.21patrickosullivanwhich version of OS X are you running?
01:33.31detratethe one right before snow leopard
01:34.23patrickosullivanstrange, I've run leopard with hidden SSIDs for pretty extensive periods
01:34.51detratewhen you change networks... it doesn't disappear on you?
01:36.08patrickosullivannah, I'd change from the FSUWIN network over to different coffee shops, and when I returned to my dorm I'd get back on my little hidden access point
01:36.18patrickosullivanlast school year
01:36.31detratehmm, well I was doing it between 2 wireless networks in the same location
01:37.02detratemaybe this makes a difference
01:37.14detrateI have to start heading to bed, gotta work early tomorrow.
01:37.17detratettyl
01:37.33patrickosullivanalright, catch you later man

15:39.43detrate_hey
15:56.19detrate_what's up patrickosullivan ?
16:00.17patrickosullivanhey detrate_, was just about to head out actually
16:00.22patrickosullivanI'll be back on later though
16:00.29patrickosullivanI created a new category on the wiki, by the way
16:00.36patrickosullivan"distributions"
16:00.44patrickosullivanand modified the wiki start page a little bit
16:01.05patrickosullivananyway, I'll catch you later
16:48.09*** join/#lugot patrickosullivan (n=patricko@c-68-42-50-137.hsd1.fl.comcast.net)
17:16.24detrate_yeah, I saw
17:16.36detrate_and now people are posting more news on lugot.org :roll:
17:17.19patrickosullivanyeah, I saw that the next meeting time was posted on there
17:17.50detrate_looks like resistance to me
17:18.36patrickosullivanor maybe they're thinking that people would be more familiar with the .org domain and would think to check there first
17:19.09detrate_www.http://www.google.com/search?q=lugot
17:19.22patrickosullivanyeah, I just did the same thing
17:19.29patrickosullivanthat was pretty quick
17:19.42detrate_could just as easily have signed up and asked me for permission to post news on .net
17:21.10patrickosullivan: /
17:21.34goozbachwell, they are looking at it like a "these guys want to come in from the outside and take over"
17:21.35detrate_any more responses to the mailing list?
17:21.43goozbach<PROTECTED>
17:22.10detrate_I understand how they are looking at it but they can't be so contradictory if they want to progress
17:22.25detrate_They want their way and to be in charge but they want someone else to do all the work
17:22.44goozbachyeah it's tough
17:23.01detrate_I'm getting close to saying fuck it and splitting off to a different LUG
17:23.08detrate_because I didn't come here to waste energy
17:23.23goozbachstart a FSU based lug
17:23.33detrate_That's what patrickosullivan and I were discussing
17:23.36goozbachI don't see anything wrong with that
17:23.39detrate_though I'm not an FSU student
17:23.46goozbachahh there's the rub
17:24.04detrate_plus I feel like I can help the bigger community more over time
17:24.10detrate_if given the chance
17:24.20detrate_and the chance isn't, "here clean up this piece of shit website we used to run"
17:24.32detrate_sorry that came off a little harsh
17:25.00detrate_but I am a bit annoyed at how this is playing out and I don't want to lose interest.
17:26.50detrate_the impersonal response to my questions on the mailing list, relaunch of an old application without upgrades, a statement or direction and followed by the further embrace of the outdated system by veterans puts the future of the group in a bad spot.
17:28.14patrickosullivanmight really be time to consider splitting off
17:28.24patrickosullivanI don't think it matters that you're not an FSU student
17:29.24detrate_Well my only concern there is the wave in students and I feel like I'd be able to help out more with a wider demographic.
17:29.42patrickosullivanyeah, probably true
17:29.53patrickosullivanthe other idea would be to start a TLUG
17:30.17detrate_yeah, I looked into that, the tlugs tlds are registered :-P
17:30.21detrate_except maybe .info
17:30.35detrate_yeah.info if available
17:30.48detrate_.net/com/org are taken
17:31.15patrickosullivantallylug.org?
17:31.15goozbachtallylug.com?
17:31.17detrate_registering this totally cuts us off from the old group
17:31.18goozbachhah
17:31.19patrickosullivanha
17:31.33detrate_this would be us finalizing the burning of the bridge
17:31.42detrate_I doubt they'd want anything to do with us after th is
17:31.45goozbachgood point
17:32.14goozbach<PROTECTED>
17:32.24patrickosullivanwe'd have to build a new membership from scratch
17:32.43patrickosullivanwhich, I guess, was the original plan
17:33.10detrate_yeah
17:33.11patrickosullivanbut it would be nice if we didn't have to do that. at the same time, it doesn't seem like we can build an effective LUG from where we are right now with this group
17:33.21detrate_yes, unfortunately.
17:35.39detrate_so tlug, tallylug? hwat?
17:35.50detrate_sorry lagging, downloading at 2mb a sec :-P
17:36.22patrickosullivanI'm thinking we could refer to it as TLUG, but the domain may have to be tallylug.something
17:36.43detrate_.info is only 3 bux :D
17:36.50detrate_tlug.info that is
17:37.16detrate_is .info still too weird of a tld?
17:37.21patrickosullivanI s'pose that's alright
17:37.22patrickosullivanyeah, ha
17:37.29patrickosullivanI just kind of wonder if people will remember it well enough
17:37.36detrate_I've only used it for vhosts in the past :-P
17:37.55detrate_had took-my.info registered for a while
17:38.25patrickosullivanI had a few neat domain names in my day
17:38.33patrickosullivan"impea.ch"
17:38.41detrate_ha :)
17:38.50detrate_I own beertitties.com
17:39.12patrickosullivanhaha, a valuable domain
17:39.15detrate_haywoodjablow.me was taken :(
17:39.22patrickosullivanhahaha
17:39.31goozbachharrybanana.com
17:39.35goozbachwas mine for a long time
17:39.40goozbachas well as bigfatchubby.com
17:39.43detrate_but I got http://kthxblow.me
17:39.44goozbach:)
17:40.05detrate_I also have http://withlinux.org as I said before :-P
17:40.50patrickosullivanI like the logo for chicks.withlinux.org, ha
17:41.01detrate_:-P
17:41.18detrate_yeah, I need to recode that site, I just threw up something quick in a few hours
17:41.25detrate_I need to build a backend for it too
17:42.07detrate_#tlug is taken :-P
17:42.12patrickosullivandamn

17:42.33patrickosullivanmost generic city ever
17:42.34detrate_dunno
