15:56.49nearnsetup/tear down would probably be best.
15:56.59penovolunteers to be the beer taster
15:57.40nearnI don't think you would want me to have a lot of interaction with people
15:59.13penoare you saying you're not a people person?
16:01.33nearnI can be, I just have a tendency to offend people.
16:02.26penoyou're just an offensive something something something
16:03.03herlonearn: you have a hard time saying, "its down there"?
16:03.07nearnwhat can I say except for something something with a something.
16:03.32nearnherlo: no, I just might added to it on accedent.
16:03.37penonot with a something?!

17:33.51encryptzwhat would be nice? gnome having a pager similar to spaces on mac os 10.5
17:33.56encryptzbeautiful
17:34.04encryptzeven if it is proprietary
17:45.51Zelutspaces ftw. i love the zoom out overview, which can't be done currently in gnome.
17:47.28encryptzand the ability to drag apps in that overview, complete with current screenshot
17:49.31Zelutyeah
17:49.40Zelutor rearranging the order of the spaces
17:59.41mheathWhat is spaces like?
17:59.52mheathI know that Compiz offers a lot of alternative pager options.
18:04.02encryptzmheath: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/spaces.html
18:04.17encryptzscreenshot of the zoomed out view of your workspaces
18:04.53encryptzyou can drag-n-drop the apps in that view, from one workspace to another
18:05.21encryptzrearrange the workspaces themselves, making workspace 4 workspace 1, for example
18:05.24mheathYou can do something similar with compi
18:05.26mheath*compiz
19:41.25HeartsbaneHow is that different than grouping in Compiz?
19:41.41encryptzdunno. don't use compiz
19:41.53Heartsbaneoh ok
19:42.18encryptzi'll find out
19:43.04Heartsbanedoes spaces know/remember where you left an application?
19:43.35Heartsbanethat would be nice ... but everything else seems like grouping in compiz
19:46.35encryptzso, i'm testing the grouping feature of compiz, and i'm not seeing how to "zoom" like spaces
19:48.38Heartsbanewhat like Zoom up and have it take your whole window?
19:48.55undertakingyouanybody know an open source program that will open Microsoft Publisher files?
19:49.33Heartsbaneno
19:49.45Heartsbanesorry
19:49.48undertakingyouHeartsbane:  . . . nevermind
19:49.52undertakingyouthanks man :)
19:51.52encryptzHeartsbane: i see the expo plugin. is that it? that seems to give the ability to move windows from one desktop to the other
19:52.02encryptznot as polished, however. i bit "grainy"
19:52.15encryptzalso, how to make virtual desktop 1 become virtual desktop 4?
19:58.02Heartsbanenever tried that, making Desktop 1 become Virtual Desktop 4, why would that even be useful?
19:58.36HeartsbaneSorry I have a case of the mondays, so sorry if that came out kinda wrong
19:59.12Heartsbanebut I think that it sounds 'not useful'
20:00.53HeartsbaneBut then again 75% to 85% of Compiz isn't useful, just a better interactive expirience
20:01.40Heartsbanethe only thing in Compiz, Expo, Tab/Grouping, Zoom, and Ring Switcher
20:02.11Heartsbanethe rest just eyecandy
20:04.50nearnHeartsbane: I am so sorry.
20:08.46Heartsbanenearn: for what it being monday?
20:10.57encryptzHeartsbane: useful or not, i'm just trying to see how compiz compares to spaces
20:11.14encryptzi want to see feature for feature, who wins out with most "cool"
20:11.21nearnno, for you missing out
20:11.26nearnare you at work?
20:11.36nearnif not I have a taste on what you missed.
20:11.52encryptzi still don't get grouping windows
20:12.54nearnwindows grouping saved my life and my desktop
20:13.20Heartsbanenearn: no just got home, I do the farmer hours which keeps my interaction with people to minimum, saved your life wow
20:13.25encryptzyeah. how do you use the compiz plugin then?
20:13.33encryptz<super>g isn't going anything for me
20:13.44Heartsbaneyou must SELECT first
20:13.48Heartsbane<super>s
20:14.29encryptzahh. i see
20:14.30encryptzweird
20:14.39Heartsbaneselect multiple windows of varying size, and then group
20:15.14encryptzyeah.
20:18.09encryptzafter coming out of expo, my window is unusable, until i minimize it and then bring it back. annoying
20:18.27encryptzin fact, all windows on all desktops
20:19.27HeartsbaneWhat I 'had' a tendency to do was keep about 4 terminal windows open, one to monitor and CLI to a server, one for IRC, one for another IRC (in a different screen name) and a finally one for CLI on the workstation, now I just <super>s then <super>t then to switch views <super>left or right arrow reduces the clutter
20:20.45Heartsbaneencryptz: using the old Compiz Fusion 0.6.5? I had that as a bug Cntl-Alt then moving my mouse brought the focus back
20:24.12encryptzlooks like i'm using 0.7.4
20:25.19encryptzyeah. i lose focus completely. using your method isn't working for me
20:25.40encryptzcoming out of expo that is
20:25.42HeartsbaneVideo card?
20:25.55*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut thaddeusq (n=thaddeus@216.49.181.128)
20:26.01Heartsbanedoes it seem transparent?
20:26.21HeartsbaneI have heard/seen screenshots of that as a bug
20:26.56Heartsbaneencryptz: kinda looks like a transparent negative?
20:26.59encryptzno. no transparency. it seems i can type with my keyboard, and select with my mouse, but it doesn't update on the window, until minimize/maximize
20:27.14encryptzno. looks normal
20:27.25Heartsbaneoh never heard of that
20:28.16encryptzthat's ok. i just won't use expo
20:28.32encryptzit's not really the same anyway. would be nice if it went full screen rather than a "wall"
20:30.05Heartsbaneya there used to something like that in version 0.5.X but
20:30.22HeartsbaneI haven't looked into it
20:31.06encryptzif i go in and out with <super>e, then it's fine
20:31.19encryptzit's just when i come out of expo by double-clicking the workspace with my mouse
20:32.10HeartsbaneVideo card?
20:33.18Heartsbanejust the mouse?
20:33.38encryptzyeah
20:33.39encryptzintel
20:33.45encryptzseems grouping is doing the same thing
20:34.38Heartsbanehmmm... file a bug
20:35.27encryptzi'll google a bit, and see if anyone else is having the same issue
21:14.29encryptz~seen sontek
21:14.30jbotsontek <n=sontek@opensuse/member/Sontek> was last seen on IRC in channel #utah, 11d 17h 30m 58s ago, saying: 'PC Cruelty!'.
21:15.14herlosontek has left the building
21:19.26encryptzapparently
21:19.35encryptzdid we frighten him away?
21:24.04herloI doubt it.  he is a suse nerd anyway
21:24.36encryptzyeah
21:24.50encryptzhe's not on #utah, or #utahpython either
