Bloke gets Ubuntu tatoo


Recommended Posts

Amongst a number of other uncharacteristic decisions I’ve recently made, I went off and got myself a tattoo yesterday.

Circle of Friends

Some (geeks) may recognise it right away. For those of you that don’t, other than it being a cool design (I think so, anyway), there’s a bunch of meaning to it.

The symbol is that of Ubuntu Linux. From their website:

Ubuntu is an African word meaning ‘Humanity to others’, or ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’. The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

It’s about community, caring, sharing, acceptance, diversity, and the ideologies that the culture embraces.

In addition to that, I’ve gone up 10 points in a) geekiness b) coolness or c) both! Hehe.

The photo doesn’t quite show it off properly yet, since the light grey areas are still a little dark (and look black). Look here to understand it better.

A big thanks to Kay from Skin Deep Tattoos who left his mark on my virgin skin.

Ya know, normally, a Corporate logo tattoo looks stupid )e.g. Zune Guy, a local guy who has a radio station, and tv station logo ON HIS FACE), but that Tatt is decent looking, simple, and kinda classy, and it's not well known enough to be obnoxious advertising, and just the location makes it look all the better. It's just plain hot :-?

No because he gets a tattoo and becomes news?.. was this a publicity stunt to get his 15 minutes of fame?

with that said... "sudo get_Laid" = Fail.

I just thought it was cool he got an Ubuntu tattoo so I posted it. Maybe it is not news for you but it made me think about it. I think tattoos are cool and have long been thinking about getting one (LONG TIME). Just a bit afraid.

But why not something as cool as the Ubuntu logo? Why's it not as good as a lot of other tattoos out there?

I like the logo

But damn I hate linux - and dont understand why its heralded as it is.

Yeah - lets all jump on the bandwagon for some software that thinks its acceptable to do everything in a terminal, just like its 1983 -

its almost 2009 *nix users :rolleyes:

That's the dumbest reason I've ever heard to not like Linux. When was the last time you used *nix? 1983?

You haven't used Linux for a long time, have you?

Still he has a point.

The majority of software is still terminal/command line based.

BTW This can turn out not so bad

Chick: "Whats that tattoo on your arm?"

This guy: "Its a symbol that means I am what I am because of who we all are"

Chick: *###### wet from deep quote*

He doesn't have to explain that its the logo of a organization; Just what it means :)

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
