@WinEunuuchs2Unix wait, what ?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg MaryGreyFox last night remember? you said you would deliver tuesday or wednesday.

Byte Commander

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I think maximizing is handled by the window manager i.e. Compiz for vanilla Ubuntu.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

She is using Unitity.

Kaz Wolfe

what the hell is going on with the what the hells?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

what the heck are you talking about :P

Serg

11:04 PM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix well, I'm still not done with it

Kaz Wolfe

@IanC try sans-serif fonts, they look better on web.

Byte Commander

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Unitity?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Nunity

Unity

LOL...it's dark here

Byte Commander

That uses Compiz as WM, as I said.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I thought you said Compiz or Unity...

Byte Commander

11:06 PM

No, Compiz is a window manager while Unity is a desktop environment (and a Compiz plugin, actually).

different things.

Serg

Here's the reality, guys - Compiz is bare desktop

That becomes apparent when all plugins are unchecked

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Here I thought Compiz was an optional download... for wizardry stuff.

Byte Commander

That's CCSM

IanC

@KazWolfe I'll work on the fonts, so far I only picked the nav-bar ones, and they are not even definitive yet :p

Byte Commander

(compizconfig-settings-manager)

IanC

11:07 PM

I think that's it @Zacharee1 @KazWolfe @NathanOsman

Serg

the juicy stuff like Alt-Tab and launcher, and everything else - those are plugins. As Byte said correctly, Unity is just a plug-in for Compiz

IanC

what do you think?

Byte Commander

@IanC looks retro

Zacharee1

@IanC it's nice, but get rid of that background >_>

Serg

@IanC gives classic Unix vibes :D I like it

Kaz Wolfe

11:08 PM

no offense but your colors are very web-2.0ish

actually your entire style sorta is, which is weird.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I didn't know their was a web 2.0... Did that follow WWW version I?

IanC

@Zacharee1 yup, I need to find something else for the BG, but those yellow boxes are out!

Zacharee1

@IanC try another gray

Byte Commander

Remember cool retro terminal?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

cowsay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serg

11:10 PM

Hmm, I found nice glasses. Lens size is OK, but bridge size is 2mm larger

think I could survice with 2 mm wider glasses ?

Mmmm, and the retro term !

Megusta

IanC

@KazWolfe what is web-2.0?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

web 2.0 is upgrade from world wide web 1.0

Byte Commander

the web between web-1.0 and web-3.0

WinEunuuchs2Unix

hehe

Byte Commander

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 describes World Wide Web websites that emphasize user-generated content, usability (ease of use, even by non-experts), and interoperability (this means that a website can work well with other products, systems and devices) for end users. The term was popularized by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty at the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 Conference in late 2004, though it was coined by Darcy DiNucci in 1999. Web 2.0 does not refer to an update to any technical specification, but to changes in the way Web pages are made and used. A Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact and collaborate with each other...

Serg

11:12 PM

Those are 26$ though

IanC

got it

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I guess Web 3.0 must be robust then.

Web 9.0 as we all know is on the cloud

Kaz Wolfe

throw some bootstrap around, @IanC, and use more border-radius

Byte Commander

Okay, I need some sleep. Bye.

IanC

good night @ByteCommander

WinEunuuchs2Unix

11:15 PM

bye bye byte

IanC

@KazWolfe what is bootstrap? I looked on google and found some HTML/CSS/JS framework

WinEunuuchs2Unix

(couldn't resist)

Kaz Wolfe

yep, basically.

it's a bunch of pre-made CSS that makes decent-looking sites quickly

Thomas Ward

Good evening!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Some OP just changed their screen name to "Please Delete Me"....weird: askubuntu.com/questions/840806/…

Happy Hallowe'en!

Thomas Ward

11:26 PM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Because they're too incompetent to visit the link for help deleting their account. Just leave them be and ignore em.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

The OP signed on to say "Thank you" when I noticed the name was changed... weird.

like an interenet suicide note.

Journeyman Geek

@WinEunuuchs2Unix @ThomasWard actually that's part of the process for requesting an account deletion

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@JourneymanGeek that's interesting.

So it is a form of internet suicide.

The weird thing is we didn't solve his problem so why come back and thank us???

Journeyman Geek

It's also a way to give folk a chance to cool ofg

Thomas Ward

yawns

WinEunuuchs2Unix

11:42 PM

i'm doing queue review...that'll really make you yawn

Thomas Ward

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I'm doing python coding and making a full disk image of a Windows 7 all-versions installer disk

which is probably more boring

WinEunuuchs2Unix

If you find out how to extract my license key from my bricked 500gb HDD and apply it to my non-genuine 240GB SSD or 120GB mSata SSD it would be very exciting!

Nathan Osman

Sometimes there's a sticker somewhere...

(With the product key.)

Serg

Father told me to go pick up dog's poop in the backyard. So I did - picked up all the pieces I found, done in about 7 mins or so. Father asks me " huh? done already? Let's go, I'll check"

ex-Soviet parents , ladies and gentlemen

Assume your child is not trustworthy and assume they're lazy

@Serg well child might not pick up all potato
