Q: Good GameBoy Advance Emulator?

Is there any good GameBoy Advance Emulator for ubuntu which supports loading gameshark or action replay saves?

10:11 AM

@amithkk Several reasons, including my need for a fedora-like VM for a project, just for fun and my need to look at a single library path.

Lame reasons all, but they are good together. Sorta.

I'll start off that I'm new to Linux. A couple months ago I tried installing Ubuntu 11.10 on a laptop (HP). The install went great, however when setting up my wireless network, it caused my router (Buffalo) to crash. I could not login to the routers http interface even on a wired PC. I remove...

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

3:58 PM

Anybody else gettiing this always?

@htorque Serious? @MarcoCeppi can move a server in the fraction of that time

@AmithKK I own the servers though, OMG Ubuntu doesnt :(

@MarcoCeppi They Dont?

No, not many people own their own servers

plus.google.com/105258101046165462263/posts

I dont get it. What is there to do? isnt it just tar>scp>profit ?

The server's networking is down, which means tpheir host needs to go to the Datacenter and fix it.

OMG Ubuntu! should have had a better backup process in place, but their host isn't making it easy for them to get back online either

4:02 PM

WebFusion?

Yeah

I'snt SE running off RackSpace?

No, SE owns their own hardware IIRC

Meh

Yeah, SE racks their own servers

@MarcoCeppi: (with fingers crossed) Is Ondina planning to issue some invites this weekend?

No promises, but maybe tomorrow if I can get a few major bug fixes tested and deployed.

I'm really hoping it works out because I have something really important to deploy :)

I'm 95% done my WordPress plugin for StackTack now.

Just a few tweaks remain.

10:45 PM

only took me an hour to access my samsung phone with ubuntu... wooooo! :D

11:02 PM

Plugin completed and submitted to the WordPress folks.

@lazyPower question for you: what would a 5-7 hour (so lets jut call it 1 day) gig for sysadminny type work run?

11:33 PM

depends on what you're doing in teh sysadmin field

if you're working on MS products, you're going to charge starting at base line $60USD an hour

if you're working on something you enjoy, i'd start at circa 45 if not 40

come join us on G+ on a hangout with no purpose

@RolandTaylor The StackTack plugin for WordPress is in the review queue!

@GeorgeEdison sweet :D

@jrg join the dark side!

i am trying to ask a question but keeps saying the same bug Oops! Your question couldn't be submitted because: It does not meet our quality standards.

what am i doing that shows up that?

Bruno Pereira

@user49523 your question is too short probably, you need to add more detail and information to it.

@tachyons your answer is 100% a copy of the wiki's content askubuntu.com/a/113854/25863

that was it thanks the question was too short ?

but why is that sometimes a question is only a sentence does not have to do more input

good night all

Bruno Pereira

@htorque gn m8

@lazyPower Ok, i'll do $40 then.

no MS stuff with this project, thankfully.

@RolandTaylor Can't, precise borked my webcam and sound.

Those are my rates ;) $40 /hr for unix based admin. MS products start at 60 because i get headaches when i start touching Active Directory and Sharepoint.

Hey, I did my last gig at $20/hr and regretted it after I was done in 10 hours. :p
