[21:15:59]  <Paladin> Heh indeed.
[21:16:03]  <Mellofone> don't ask
[21:16:05]  <Mellofone> please :)
[21:16:11]  <Paladin> Flame broiled!
[21:16:41]  <rod_> does this conversation have anything to do with those Mandrake "cooker" releases?
[21:17:36]  <linc> bummer shell
[21:19:40]  <Mellofone> what in the sweet name of christ are you people talking about :)
[21:21:57]  <linc> who knows mello :-)
[21:22:09]  <Mellofone> Novell Talk :)
[21:22:18]  <Mellofone> I meant the dognuts :)
[21:24:09]  <linc> I need doughnuts *now*!
[21:24:59]  <Mellofone> isn't that novell/virtual office expensive?
[21:27:37]  <Mellofone> just wondered...
[21:27:55]  <Mellofone> we were looking to upgrade our novell servers, but will be moving the whole works to Samba
[21:28:11]  <Mellofone> they are going to directly support RedHat and obviously SuSe
[21:28:14]  <dann> That's great!  Samba is nice
[21:28:27]  <Mellofone> they will no longer provide an actual OS
[21:28:35]  <Mellofone> only modules to load onto Linux or Windows
[21:29:27]  <rod_> why is it so awesome?
[21:29:52]  <Mellofone> rod: samba?
[21:30:36]  <rod_> OH.. no, Firebird
[21:32:17]  <Paladin> Firebird rules.  Ever since 0.7+ I've been using it and loving it.
[21:33:25]  <Mellofone> yeah, flash is goofy when it comes to soundcards
[21:33:45]  <Mellofone> if you have a card that doesn
[21:34:00]  <Mellofone> doesn't have multiple channel support, it doesn't always play

[21:37:47]  <linc> Thank you Paladin.
[21:43:55]  <rod_> pretty cool
[21:45:38]  <Mellofone> http://www.netbsd.org/Changes/#logo-contest
[21:46:47]  <Paladin> The following problems have been identified with the current identity:
[21:46:47]  <Paladin>     * Too complicated.
[21:46:47]  <Paladin>     * Hard to reproduce.
[21:46:47]  <Paladin>     * Has negative cultural, and religious ramifications.
[21:47:12]  <Mellofone> heh
[21:47:16]  <Mellofone> what a load of crap :)
[21:47:40]  <Paladin> Now this is just stupid: http://www.hexley.com/  look at that logo/mascot!
[21:48:19]  <Mellofone> heh. amen to that :)
[21:49:24]  <Mellofone> at least Gentoo got rid of that crazy cow :)
[21:50:07]  <Mellofone> something is wonky
[21:50:17]  <Mellofone> heard a ton of static there :)
[21:50:24]  <rod_> good word ---> "wonky"
[21:50:36]  <Mellofone> anyway, home automation... x-10 is all you need
[21:50:43]  <Mellofone> get the modules and use BottleRocket
[21:50:44]  <Mellofone> http://mlug.missouri.edu/~tymm/
[21:51:04]  <Paladin> X10 stuff is pretty cool.
[21:51:08]  <Paladin> Easy as can be to use.
[21:51:29]  <dann> heard a ton of static where?
[21:51:49]  <Mellofone> it went away
[21:51:54]  <Mellofone> on lincs mic :)
[21:51:55]  <Paladin> N O A A ? :)  Heh, I think that's called "Noah"
[21:54:06]  <Mellofone> Firecracker is the hardware that hangs off the serial port, Bottlerocket is the software for linux
[21:54:21]  <Mellofone> http://bubba.org/?option=cgi-x10
[21:54:27]  <Mellofone> CGI web interface too
[21:55:47]  <Mellofone> you need a CVS server! :)
[22:07:42]  <Mellofone> esd is another daemon that will do the same, and you don't have to have arts...
