The History of BunsenLabs

^ Not quite. It was first suggested by: daosein (2015-02-20) where s/he said:

The periodic table has some wonderful options for version names as well.

and you replied in the very next post:

Someone has been reading my mind!
daosein wrote:

Now that is a neat idea

So in all fairness it's only right to give daosein credit. Although, like iMBeCil in the other thread, you and I picked up the ball and ran with it.

LOGO: OK, that I can agree with. Our ever burning flame logo.

^ Good sleuthin', pardner

Sector11 · 2016-02-21 14:27:08

^ I think where you came in was suggesting following the periodic table from the first element to the end. Not 100% certain on that though.

Have we come up with an "official", be it semi or quasi-official, BunsenLabs name for a version upgraded to SID? I know "#! Animal" was quite popular.

damo · 2016-02-21 14:30:11

I recall suggesting "Beaker", although an unstable isotope name could be appropriate: "BunsenLabs Uranium" sounds cool

"BunsenBurner"?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-02-21 14:44:11

How about Deuterium for a testing base & Tritium for an unstable base?

Not enough isotopes for the other releases though

Then there are the Carbon allotropes, BunsenLabs Diamond edition is just begging to be made

And the almost mythical BLBMF (BunsenLabsBuckMinsterFullerine) 8o

Who? Me? Taking offense? You mad bro?

Of course not. I know that virtually all people here - including you Sector - are good hearted. Srsly.

Anyway, thanks for inserting me in the famous history of the BL. I'm honored. Really. Something to show to grandchildren in - let's say - 10 years from now.

Sector11 · 2016-02-21 16:50:21

Yea, I recall something about Beaker.

@damo and HoaS - I'm not looking to turn this in to a "name" thread, just wondering IF we had one.

I'll ask these again:

Should we have a "BunsenLabs Day" and if 'yes', what day?

tknomanzr actually made a good observation there. Because of the way calendar works, maybe it's better to put the "year" at the end of the lines:

Feb 06 	2015 - corenominal announces the end of CrunchBang
	http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=38916

Feb 06 	corenominal announces the end of CrunchBang, 2015
	http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=38916

Put the year at the beginning or the end?

Thoughts please - I'll go with the flow.

tknomanzr · 2016-02-21 17:10:22

Would it be possible to put the year before the month? That way you could sort by year, then by month.

And again: yes ]:D

As for the date: I suggest the (future) date, one when official, non-beta and non-RC iso will be published.

YUP, that you can. And get a reply:

iMBeCil's grandson said:
WOW! That's really old, not even a 3D Hologram Projection.
How did you survive in them olden days, grampa?

Not according to 'man calendar'. Just days and months with three options of entry:

/*  TEST */
21 Feb	This is a test of 21 Feb
Feb 21	This is a test of Feb 21
02/21	This is a test of 02/21

But the 'ouput' will always be: mmm dd[tab]text

Check all the examples in /usr/share/calendar/

Now THAT is a thought!
The day BunsenLabs v8.x (Hydrogen) ISO - final release hits the interwebs we proclaim: BunsenLabs Day.

After all, everything up to that time is - spit and polish.

ohnonot · 2016-02-21 21:01:49

S11, the incorruptible librarian. nice.

the importance & beauty of ututo's logo.

may i also remind you of the humorous side of history!

johnraff · 2016-02-22 01:49:54

Great work Sector11!

If I'm understanding this right, there's no way to get all the entries in true chronological order - ie without 2016 entries mixed in with 2015? That would be preferable IMHO, if at all possible.

Sector11 · 2016-02-22 16:04:56

@ohnonot...again

Ahhhhhhhh the cbbl cookies ... must get those. What date should I use? The original #! date? Or the date the thread was opened here?

@johnraff

No - 'calendar' does not work in chronological order as far as years are concerned.. Just from 1 Jan to 31 Dec - that's why the years are added in the text part. You can enter the day/month info (format seen above) in any order:

22 Mar  This is 22 Mar
10 Feb  This is 10 Feb
15 Dec  Christmas in 10 days
Jul  1  It's the 1st of July

and they will display correctly (in the US format of: mmm dd),

Feb 10  This is 10 Feb
Mar 22  This is 22 Mar
Jul  1  It's the 1st of July
Dec 15  Christmas in 10 days

If you type 'calendar' in a terminal you should see the same as I do today and tomorrows entries in /usr/share/calendar/calendar.all:

 22 Feb 16 @ 12:40:12 ~
  $ calendar
Feb 22 	George Washington born, 1732
Feb 22 	Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen born, 1838, found hydrogen in the sun

Feb 23 	Alfréd
Feb 23 	День защитника Отечества
Feb 23 	День победы Красной Армии над кайзеровскими войсками Германии (1918 год)

and if I use " faketime "20 Feb 2016" " with the bunsen calendar I'm working on you would see entries for the 20th and 21st:

 22 Feb 16 @ 12:51:26 ~
  $ faketime "20 Feb 2016" calendar -f ~/.calendar.bunsen
Feb 20 	2016 - BunsenLabs History calendar file created

Feb 21 	This is a test of 21 Feb
Feb 21 	This is a test of Feb 21
Feb 21 	This is a test of 02/21

Feb 22*	Parshat Vayakhel

that * indicates and entry like: Feb MonFourth

I really would love the unstable isotope or one of the newer elements used as a name for this! Uranium has my vote!

pvsage · 2016-02-22 23:01:03

I suppose we could go with one of the superheavy elements for Unstable. What's the heaviest that has been named at this point - Livermorium?

I think that after "Beaker" had been proposed as a possible alias for Unstable, I suggested "Crucible" for Testing. We might also think about going quantum for the names of Testing and Unstable. Many more dimensions to explore there - a total of 11 as I understand it.

tknomanzr · 2016-02-23 00:34:58

Unobtanium is just a cool name

johnraff · 2016-02-23 04:10:32

@Sector11 ah I see - so Calendar's like a real calendar with Important Dates marked, regardless of year. More for commemoration than archiving. "So today's BunsenLabs First GitHub Repo Day!!"

Kind of like both those. All those element names could get a bit boring...
