New Nintendo DS announced: http://ping.fm/Qulgg

@damien I want to like OOo, but I feel like it is even behind Office97 sometimes. I don't think v3 will improve usability much, either. :(
-
@damien don't learn Vista, wait for windows 7, you'll learn that one
-
@damien greetings from identi.ca land to you and all of linuxninjas.tv via identispy
-
@damien track is the king
-
@damien I can't do that Microsoft isn't that bad. Good Tech vision bad company
-
@damien It's a frontal view, not the sideways view like normal emoticons.
-
@djharuko: If you say so. My imagination must be broken today.
-
@damien I think there are some command line utilities, like dvgrab. I used one at work once and it worked pretty good.
-
@djharuko I used dvgrab. Now I'm trying to convert it to avi format. Using a website to do it. Is there a Linux tool?
-
@damien Sorry, been afk. It should have dumped straight DV-encoded video. Try mencoder or ffmpeg to convert it. What are you trying to make?
-
@djharuko http://ur1.ca/0ayx - I used dvgrab to pull video off my DV camera, mencoder to transform the video.

@damien I totally just read that as "sweet! the stripper works!" I think it's time to go home @_@
-
@damien I have one of their laptops. It's lasted me 3 years so far. But it's just a rebranded Asus Z96FM.
-
@djharuko: I see... I was wondering where they got their laptops from.
-
@damien Overall there's nothing wowing about them though.
-
@djharuko: I was really interested in their servers. I called them once and asked about them. Box with Ubuntu on it. No extra configs...
-
@damien Nope, not everyone. I put Slackware on my Eee PC and my mom's :^)
-
@damien Like, wowing in personality, style, or what?
-
@djharuko: Well, she said she wants to be wowed. Not sure what that means. She only talks to me through text messages.
-
@damien That's hard to say then. Maybe do something impressive? I'd say running your own Laconica server is impressive :)
-
@djharuko: What that? Are you sure you have that right? If so that's way wowing.
-
@damien Yes, a AAAA battery. I thought it was a AAA, but when one wouldn't fit, I saw the fourth A. I don't think this is wowing though ;)

@djharuko: That's what I was thinking... I don't the she would find it wowing though. Some people are strange like that. ;)
-
@djharuko: You don't think a AAAA battery is wowing? Hmm... Well, I guess the wow factor would ware off quick. It's just a battery.
-
@damien Haha true. Some people just don't get geeky things.
-
@damien Yeah, sms isn't well documented and the text on the settings page isn't very descriptive. I don't even know if I'm doing it right.
-
@djharuko: Seems like you got it figured out. I saw your message. I don't like receiving sms messages. I just post from email.
-
@damien (testing if I can reply!) Have you asked her what she means by "wowing"? A good conversation is always pretty wowing in itself, IMO.
-
@damien What is the LPI test anyways?
-
@djharuko: Check out http://lpi.org
-
@damien if its a straight up dv file, try using kino, it does basic conversions like that pretty well
-
@boredandblogging: I tried that. It only did mpeg 2. I did manage to get Avidmux to convert the mpeg video into flv. That worked for me.
-
@boredandblogging someone needs to get you these: http://ur1.ca/0p1s

@damien's complaint about "identicats" not including users using other laconica installs (via @marjoleink) where can he be found?
-
@damien I still use identispy as I always have Pidgin open (for AIM and a couple XMPP accounts I access). So why run yet another app?
-
@damien_p Why the Rickroll? Got too many followers and trying to get rid of a few? ;)
-
@damien_p Which machine?
