<0> sup Kristian
<1> not much
<1> trying to get a job
<1> the cash from the last one finally ran out :/
<0> I know the feeling
<0> next week will be a year for me
<1> ... a year with no job ?
<0> yah
<1> I haven't really been trying until now
<0> I was laid off last January
<0> me either :)
<1> The original plan was to get a student loan this semester, but I figured since I have so much spare time, why bother ?
<0> yah - my wife found a kick*** job right after I got laid off and she is loving it
<0> so I've been home with the kids instead of her
<0> yesterday she got a call out of the blue for an even BETTER job, so I might be at this for awhile longer :)
<1> hehe, not that bad then
<0> yah actually it was the best thing that ever happened to us financially speaking
<0> because I got a huge severance
<0> and then she got a job, so we suddenly had two incomes for the first time ever
<0> then I got the full ride on employment insurance after the severance was done
<0> and frankly I don't miss the job, I miss my network but not the job or the people
<0> they just closed one of their six north american manufacturing plants yesterday too so it looks like I might have gotten out before they crumble to death
<1> I'm considering applying for Trolltech, they're located here
<1> I just had to learn c++ first :P
<1> but that was like php
<0> heh
<1> spend 30 minutes reading a tutorial and end up thinking "hey, I know this allready..."
<1> I tell you, when you know Java and C, learning c++ is not really a lot of work :)
<0> yah I have a good friend who used to work for me in my old job, is the #2 developer for WebGUI now at PLainblack
<0> and he knows a dozen languages, just basically thinks of them as tools
<0> once you really understand concepts and principles and have a couple of different languages under your belt, new ones aren't all that new...
<0> just different syntax and structure, but even that is apparently often very similar or intuitive enough to be 'easy'
<1> eh, yeah
<1> you have the modern compiled languages which more or less all take after C syntax-wise, and then you have the script-based or interpretd stuff like Python and Perl....
<1> but the problem is not really the languages but the libraries around them :)
<1> well not so much a problem as a time sink
<0> all software should just be written in LISP as a module for emacs
<0> :)
<0> oh wait...
<0> it already is!
<1> http://misc.randomphp.net/rtfg.c O_O
<1> look at that
<1> It's just so .... wrong
<2> hey is it possible to get help here?
<1> in a number of diffrent ways
<0> anything is possible, theoretically
<1> [-Craig-]: possible, but not likely. Usually we just insult your intelligence instead and point and laugh.
<2> the last command i did was "apt-get install xinetd" ...and now all i get is segmentation fault
<2> oh
<2> thats just cruel and mean
<2> can i join
<2> ?
<0> yuck xinetd?
<2> ill give my sisters! - ones blonde and ones fair coloured hair
<1> wait, let me guess, ubuntu ?
<0> why didn't you say so? :)
<0> sounds like ubuntu
<2> yeah ... i was told i could possibly get help here
<1> hah, yeah
<1> you can get help
<0> upgrade to debian
<1> exactly
<2> phobia: make that a bitmore useful and ill send my blonde sister
<0> upgrade to debian etch ;)
<0> etch?
<3> from memory, etch is http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/
<1> [-Craig-]: notice how easy it was for us to tell you were using Ubuntu.... Segmentation fault is a crash and should never happen, and it more or less never happens on Debian (not consistently...)
<1> so what does that tell you about the quality of Ubuntu ?
<2> needs to b shot ?
<2> lol
<1> let's just say it's not the first time a distro-caused problem here has been caused by ubuntu quality....
<0> I haven't seen a .deb installed app segfault in debian in a couple of YEARS or more
<0> and even then it was from unstable...
<1> however, your best bet if you are unable to switch to debian is to run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade
<1> or possibly revert your changes but I guess you knew that one allready
<2> apt-get dosnt work....
<0> why do you want xinetd anyway?
<2> it segfaults
<2> glftpd
<2> o.0
<0> ahh
<0> glftpd is secure now? :)
<1> ok, then you're screwed
<0> you will have to dpkg to fix prolly
<1> chances are one of your core libraries were corrupted or upgraded out of sync with the rest of your system
<0> replace/fix your apt tools
<1> fixing it is either pure luck, a lot of trial and error or most likely very timeconsuming and requiering a good bit of knowledge which can't be practically shared....
<0> <networkn> can you sync with activesync from a handheld ipaq to a pc over wifi?
<0> <Algaeman> did you try googling before asking a question that none of us care about?
<0> <0> haha
<0> feel th e love...
<1> [-Craig-]: Unless you have a LOT of important data on that machine, I would reinstall. It will probably be faster than trying to fix it
<2> ok
<2> debian i think it is going to be.
<0> wise choice
<0> install etch
<2> reading that website says its not a good idea
<2> it could break
<1> which website and what could break?
<0> standard disclaimer
<1> oh, right, yes
<0> it is officially testing
<0> but it works, trust me
<2> ic
<1> Let's just say that Debian Testing has a reputation for beeing more stable than other distrobutions stable releases, and Debian Stable is known to be in another league all together. And this is not something I'm saying because I'm a debian-fan, you can probably get non-debian users to tell you that too.
<0> ubuntu is essentially debian unstable anyway
<0> with some other brokenness via ubuntu-specific packages tossed into the mix
<1> hmm, hope I get this job :/
<1> I hate looking for jobs
<0> good luck with it man
<0> yah job hunting and interviewing ****s
<1> So far in my rather short career the jobs have more or less come to me
<0> that's always been the case with me
<0> for 17 years
<0> four or five great jobs in that time, they all just came to me
<1> well, 17 years ago I couldn't read and write
<1> considering I was 6 years old
<1> Mind you, looking at my handwriting, it's not much of a difference between then and now
<2> urs to?
<2> mine is the same
<2> lol
<1> The good thing about is that noone will doubt it's my signature on my visa card which I got when I was 14 (back then it was "visa electron")
<0> shrug
<0> err misfire
<1> Hmm
<1> what to do, what to do
<1> go to bed and stare at the roof, go hunt for a lightbulb, watch a movie/series, wate time on IRC, or all the above ?
<0> dial-a-date? ;)
<4> build a better mousetrap
<4> Kristian, www.43things.com
<4> =)
<4> sure you can find something to do in there
<4> and other people wanting to do it too
<1> I turned on the snes, got a lightbulb and am still considering watching a movie
<1> yes, snes
<4> lol 1 says lose 150 lbs. wow. thats alot of cellulite
<0> stop chewing the inside of my mouth
<0> lol
<5> phobia: hwo m any kids you got?
<0> 5
<5> are you catholic? :)
<0> yes
<5> so am i
