     @heygabe yeah, I've not really ever needed to, so every time I got stuck I just was like whatever, I'll just go across the room

     @daw Oh, I only just like, walk across the room, in _dire_ emergencies. Like I WANT TO LISTEN TO SOME MUSIC! #pulseaudiofail

     @heygabe the short answer is sudo crontab -e You will want to investigate cron jobs and bash scripting.

     @chadwollenberg Yup. Thanks. I always forget that root is a user. I live in a clicky clicky world.

     @heygabe though you'll have to filter out some noise, if you want ubuntu linux help best thing to do is join the group & use ! instead of #

     @daw Hey is there still an mlug meeting on saturday?

   • Douglas A. Whitfield Gabe W

     @heygabe as far as I know. I'll have to check the listserv

   • Douglas A. Whitfield Gabe W

     @heygabe it appears as such. too bad they don't do a better job updating the website.

   • Gabe W

     @daw I don't read the list. Can you send me details?

     @heygabe I'm leaning away from coming to Milwaukee tomorrow. I should spend that 3 hours+ on finding a location for !oe on October 31st

   • Pete Prodoehl Open Everything

     @daw Oct 31st? hmmm, I probably will not make it to !oe then...

     @raster we didn't pick date. I wanted it to be 24th but Mozilla has some stuff going on then. think this 1 may be shorter & less camp-like

     Friday, 07-Aug-09 19:55:21 UTC
   • Gabe W

     @daw Same thing. Probably won't make an Oct. 31st ANYthing.

   • Douglas A. Whitfield Pete Prodoehl , Gabe W

     @raster @heygabe you'll see on list when we announce speakers, so you can decide then if it's worth it. perhaps we'll have some kids' stuff

     @heygabe AIR is a pain in the ass to set up in Fedora...works fine in Ubuntu for whatever reason

     Saturday, 08-Aug-09 17:45:37 UTC
   • Howard

     @daw I hear that. #Ubuntu in my experience it was easier to set up AIR. Fedora was....an interesting experience.

     @raster have you tried krita before?

     Friday, 14-Aug-09 04:17:51 UTC
   • Pete Prodoehl

     @daw nope... never heard of krita

     Friday, 14-Aug-09 11:23:10 UTC
   • Douglas A. Whitfield Pete Prodoehl

     @raster supposedly it's a PhotoShop replacement but the same article talks about GIMP and GIMPShop, so who knows

     Friday, 14-Aug-09 14:51:44 UTC
   • Pete Prodoehl

     @daw what article? also, does it run on Mac OS X? #krita

     Friday, 14-Aug-09 14:58:17 UTC
   • Douglas A. Whitfield Pete Prodoehl

     @raster supposedly KDE runs on Windows though I've never gotten it to work. I assume since OS X runs X it could be run. probably not native
