Pinging! I read the postings from this list and SI-SIG religiously
when they occur, even though I don't have a chance to get out to any
of the meetings. Glad you posted, Rob, as I was also wondering
about this list's activity.<br>
<br>
I also would fathom a guess that Chris was the developer who is the
bowler :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers all<br>

list?)<br>
<br>
I was last posting on here in January, and I noticed no one
has posted<br>
since then...<br>
<br>
Earlier in the year I got a new laptop and haven't had linux
installed<br>
on it until yesterday (installed ubuntu 11.10 and am quite
impressed -<br>
it's missing things like desktop icon creation - which can
be<br>
downloaded separately or done with a text editor, but i
think that<br>
makes it a more simplified desktop, and i like the launcher
and the<br>
ability to pin icons onto the launcher like you can in
windows - oh<br>
and the separation of the window menus from the window like
on MacOS<br>
is also kind of nice once i figured out how it worked)...
One other<br>
thing - like the new app store in ubuntu - surprised to see
some<br>
available apps that you can buy through the software center,
not that<br>
i've bought anything yet. I don't remember that being in
previous<br>
versions.<br>
<br>
I can actually use this installation because, for example,
if i need<br>
to run quicken it has rdesktop which i can use to connect to
my<br>
desktop remotely where it's run from. rdesktop seems
quicker than<br>
windows remote desktop - at least in terms of time required
to<br>
establish the connection.<br>
<br>
Since this is the developer list, i thought i'd share why i
installed<br>
linux in the first place yesterday -- I decided to try to
download and<br>
compile android 4 source -- at best i'll run it in the
emulator - i<br>
don't plan on manually upgrading my phone... It seems to
take forever<br>
to compile, but i understand it's got a lot in it. I think
i now have<br>
all the packages required for it to compile, but if i don't
adding<br>
them and picking up where the compile failed isn't so bad.<br>
<br>
One negative to ubuntu is that when it wakes from suspend to
ram or<br>
suspend to disk, quite often the video is out of sync. This
causes me<br>
to need to manually power off (hold in the power button) --
it would<br>
be much nicer if I could get it to reset the video driver on
resume.<br>
<br>
I was a little surprised that ubuntu picked up the make an
model of my<br>
computer, which not even i know :-> (HP 2000 notebook -
it used that<br>
in the auto generated hostname.<br>
<br>
-Rob<br>
p.s. Does dev-sig still have meetings? Again, i looked at
list<br>
archives and haven't seen anything since january. If i
recall, last<br>
time i was at a meeting it was me and another guy (lord
knows i'm bad<br>
with names, i just remember he worked in the past for a
playground<br>
company near 110 and is a bowler).<br>
