@Mahnax Is that you? Haven't seen you around lately...

@daviesgeek Indeed! It's been awhile.

How have you been?

Oh… Okay.

@Mahnax I'm here.

@Mahnax Good. I've had a busy summer. How about you? What have you been up to?

@daviesgeek Oh, I've been busy too. Working 35 hours a week, summer school, and driving class.

@Mahnax Nice. Sounds like fun! Then again, I guess I was working too...

@daviesgeek Where do you work?

@Mahnax I intern at Inventaweb.net and I got paid for teaching at dance camp this summer.

I taught at the CUPS dance ministry, a part of Westside Ministries

@daviesgeek Dance camp? Interesting.

@Mahnax Yeah...it is interesting. Might not think of me doing ballet, but that's what I do and I enjoy it.

@daviesgeek Fair enough.

We men created ballet. :-)

Haha. Dancing in general is not one of my strong suits, but I have no issues with people of any gender doing ballet.

I assisted a beginning ballet class (which was a surprise for me) and I also assisted a flags/tambourines class

Flags are soooo much fun!!

Oh, where you wave things around in the air?

Or is that banner-twirling?

That's what I used to enjoy the most with dance, but now I'm starting to enjoy ballet as I'm getting to an intermediate level.

@Mahnax Basically described...yes

@daviesgeek Ah OK.

I am not very graceful at all.

Describing it more accurately...it is...hard to explain...

lemme find a YT video

There you are!

That is the beginning syllabus, which is required for you to pass before you go on to intermediate.

(you don't need the audio BTW)

Yep, I saw people doing flags at my old church.

So much fun!!

And when you get into tossing the flag...love it!

I can't see myself enjoying that, actually.

:-)

It can hurt

I know girls who have bruises from it.

@daviesgeek Many things can.

My job, for example.

I don't get bruises anymore, but I used to...that and blisters....:-)

@Mahnax What is your job?

@daviesgeek I work in a fast food restaurant, which basically means lots of minor burns.

Oh. I didn't know you did. Is that new(er)?

Nah, I've been doing it for 10 months now.

Ah. I guess I didn't think to ask

I might've told you at one point.

Hey do you have any experience with enabling gzip compression on a server?

@Mahnax One moment...checking that...

I checked, doesn't look like it.

Nope.

I once talked about where I worked here, but you weren't around.

@Mahnax I just saw that

Okay, very cool

@daviesgeek Not a one, unfortunately.

Hmm...

It's driving me nuts.

Heh. I have very little experience with servers, to be honest.

I don't have a ton of experience with server configuration.

Hmm. What is the server for?

It is a part of a startup project in conjunction with Inventaweb

Makes sense.

And I can't seem to get it enabled.

I'm also trying to do it on my own website

Oh, I guess I could have an actual website now, if I wanted to.

Yah. Mine's a company website, but I do testing on it too.

offblockfilms.com

Yeah, you've shown it to me before.

I thought so, but I like the link there...

:-)

Haha.

Oops, one too many.

:-)

Did you get Mountain Lion?

@Mahnax No. :-( Dad won't let me.

@daviesgeek Aww.

We "just" got Lion.

Actually, I don't really like it that much.

However, my boss upgraded to ML. That might put a little weight on the fact that it is stable enough to run well.

How does it run for you?

It's slower than Lion, for me.

What computer are you running it on?

Just a little, nothing major.

A 13" MBP.

Late 2011.

Hmm...same thing here...

What are the last 3 digits of the serial number? (for a model lookup via EveryMac)

V13.

Yah. Almost the same computer, 'cept yours is a bit newer I think

You have a 2.4 GHz and I have a 2.3 GHz

Ha! I'm winning!

@Mahnax By .1 of a GHz. What's your RAM?

@daviesgeek 4GB.

I want to upgrade it to 8GB though.

Ha! Now I am definitely winning.

Figured.

That would be the reason ML is slow.

Lion was slow on here 'til we got 8GB

I want a new graphics card too. Then I could actually play games nicely.

Although Limbo looked great on this computer.

Can you get a new graphics card?

I'm not even sure.

An external one, you can...but not an internal, AFAIK

Wow, that is really sad.

But you can't upgrade many of the PC laptops...

I'm almost regretting this purchase now, actually. I should have waited longer, and then bought a better MacBook Pro.

answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060923100558AArS8H1

Yeah, I saw that.

I am thinking that rather than buying an $1100 MBP, I'm going to save up money for a really good MBP, and then have the computer for several years.

I really need all the power I can get

considers Linux

You can't get something that is too fast for the world of video editing.

@Mahnax Shame on you!

However, Ubuntu 12.04 looks pretty good

@daviesgeek I'm almost getting sick of my Apple products, to be honest.

I mean, I got Mountain Lion, and there aren't too many changes that I actually appreciate.

@Mahnax Yeah. I wasn't wowed by the keynote

The best thing about it is that my new e-mails show up in the top right corner of the screen.

nothing really completely revolutionary, unlike many of Lion's features.

Yeah.

@Mahnax Notification Center may be the one thing I might appreciate

And I never really got into the whole iCloud thing.

Hey I gotta get to bed. Early morning 'morrow

@daviesgeek I've used it twice…

@Mahnax nor did I. I don't have an iOS device

@daviesgeek OK, good night.

@Mahnax Hehe....

I'd find a use for it.

I have an iPod touch, and my MBP. That's it.

Believe me.

Oh, I do.

@Mahnax that's two more devices than I have

:-)

Heh, thought so.

Sorry, chatting to the hosting company at the same time...

Okay. TTYL!!

Yep, see you later.

I think I'll try to swing by here more often.
