Tavern on the Meta

I should get back to my pet project, think I'll get back in gear tomorrow, need to install VMware and get an Ubuntu VM up and running tonight for the project so I doubt I'll get time to work on the real project

well, it is nice when everyone else is also working

and you change the beeping to only when you're mentioned

Tim Post

status-getbacktowork

Lasse V. Karlsen

Yeah, I did that, it was annoying that it beeped all the time

George Marian

I'm usually good about juggling, unless of course, I'm not really interested in doing the task(s).

Chacha102

I'm on summer vacation, so I am just chatting away

spoulson

@TimPost What's the trick to get the tag looking statuses?

I'm trying to get General to be the active channel instead of Chat feedback. Kind of to separate stuff

Can I upgrade ubuntu from 9 to 10? Anyone knows?

Popular Demand

Yeah, I was trying to make only feedbacky comments there before, but... nature of chat I guess.

Chacha102

I'm a nerd, but not a linux nerd..

Why is there no Stack Overflow room? I was about to start one but thought I should let someone official do it.

George Marian

5:38 PM

@lasse I think so, but i haven't tried it myself.

Tim Post

@LasseVKarlsen ubuntu.stackexchange.com

@PopularDemand You are officially a SO user, why not start one?

George Marian

@PopularDemand Still in beta, it's only attached to meta currently.

Chacha102

@PopularDemand Frankly it doesn't matter who starts it

Anyone with a diamond can edit it

George Marian

And that.

Q: Can I upgrade to the new Ubuntu 10 from Ubuntu 9.10 without formatting my computer?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10

Lasse V. Karlsen

5:39 PM

Looks like I should be able to do it, I'll try that first then, seems I already have a Ubuntu VM

Perhaps I won't bother with the update, I only use the WebDAV Litmus test application anyway :P

@LasseVKarlsen If it's ain't broke, don't fix it.

Lasse V. Karlsen

I'm a programmer

Fixing things that isn't broken is what I do

George Marian

George Marian

I can never leave good enough alone.

Chacha102

Hey @CraigTP

Tim Post

I prefer to break things that aren't fixed.

Lasse V. Karlsen

That works as well

Though to be honest, one usually leads to another :P

spoulson

I can't tell you how long I've once fretted over my ircii scripts and getting IRC fully automated so I can spend all day in it.

CraigTP

Ryan Rinaldi

5:49 PM

@spoulson at least I'm not the only one!

Jan Fabry

Are the other Stack Exchange sites also so inactive on their Meta? Home Improvement Meta is very hard to keep alive.

Chacha102

I think some are active, some aren't

Hey @devinb

It really depends on the community

Is the actual site active?

devinb

code's compiling.

Chacha102

I'm currently resisting the urge to put in that comic..

spoulson

heh

George Marian

5:52 PM

I still haven't visited the metas for most of the beta sites I'm involved with. Technically, I visited the Ubuntu meta, but that was 'cause I clicked on the link accidently.'

devinb

I know, that's what I was thinking of when I said it.
