| Madpilot | Damn, those blog posts that robitalle linked to on sounder make my head hurt... | 07:03 |
| Madpilot | best comment: "He doesn't actually tell us what Canonical doesn't want us to know...he was probably too busy making himself sound like a raving lunatic. Could these things Canonical doesn't want us to know just be a figment of his noticably screwed up imagination?" | 07:04 |
| LaserJock | wow | 07:06 |
| LaserJock | who are they talking about? | 07:06 |
| Madpilot | well, the original blog post was mostly incoherant Ubuntu bashing | 07:06 |
| Madpilot | the "he" in that commenet refers to the author of the blog | 07:07 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | lol. whats that ? which threads that Madpilot ? | 07:07 |
| === Kamping_Kaiser hasnt seen taht | ||
| Madpilot | it's on the sounder ML, "blog post: " Ubuntu vs. Debian: What Canonical Doesn't Want You To Know " " | 07:07 |
| === Kamping_Kaiser pops in email for later amusement | ||
| Madpilot | oh, and Burgundavia, that cartoon on your planet.u.c post is excellent ;) | 07:08 |
| Burgundavia | indeed | 07:08 |
| crimsun | heh, I've not ready any sounder posts | 07:09 |
| Madpilot | Kamping_Kaiser, there's two blog posts, the comment I posted is from the comments on the 2nd one | 07:09 |
| crimsun | read, even | 07:09 |
| Madpilot | First one: http://techanchor.blogspot.com/2006/08/stfu-ubuntu-users.html | 07:09 |
| Madpilot | 2nd one: http://techanchor.blogspot.com/2006/08/ubuntu-vs-debian-what-canonical-doesnt.html | 07:09 |
| crimsun | oh, I saw the former linked from linuxtoday | 07:09 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | lol. nice title on the first one. thats impartial | 07:10 |
| crimsun | well you know it's fun to antagonise the leader | 07:10 |
| Madpilot | it's pathetic | 07:11 |
| Madpilot | and just for the record, I think the Ubuntu posts that make it to the top on Digg are mostly useless too ;) | 07:11 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | hm.(s)he hammered both of them out in one day?? | 07:11 |

| Madpilot | Burgundavia, looking forward to your flight on Tuesday? You fly out of Seattle, right? | 08:19 |
| Burgundavia | no, Victoria | 08:19 |
| Burgundavia | good thing, given how long the lineup at security i going to be | 08:20 |
| Madpilot | when's the flight? | 08:20 |
| Burgundavia | 5am-ish Tuesday | 08:22 |
| Madpilot | gah | 08:22 |
| Madpilot | so you're going to have to be at the airport at around 5am Monday to clear security, right? | 08:23 |
| Burgundavia | pretty much | 08:24 |
| Burgundavia | what is the breaking point? business travellers like myself will keep travelling, but what about the other 3/4 of the travellers? | 08:24 |
| Burgundavia | when will it reach the point that security is too burdensome? | 08:24 |
| Burgundavia | if I was a family, I wouldn't want to be travelling right now | 08:25 |
| Madpilot | travelling with small children + stupid security restrictions... smells like a non-starter to me | 08:26 |
| poningru | Burgundavia: anal probes | 08:38 |

| Madpilot | with his pager going berzerk, I'm sure | 10:44 |
| mpt | Spads | 10:46 |
| mpt | Drat, Burgundavia, there was something I wanted to ask you about but I've forgotten what it was | 10:46 |
| Burgundavia | mpt: I don't usually go anywhere. was with regards to GNOME or Ubuntu? | 10:47 |
| Burgundavia | documentation? the website? the help wiki? | 10:47 |
| mpt | Gnome, probably | 10:48 |
| mpt | or Ubuntu | 10:49 |
| mpt | gah, like that narrows it down at all | 10:49 |
| mpt | The marketing team, perhaps? | 10:49 |
| Burgundavia | which one? | 10:49 |
| mpt | It can't have been that important | 10:50 |
| === mpt stares out at the rain | ||
| crimsun | you'll remember when you stoop to adjust your shoelaces or something :) | 10:51 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 10:51 |
| Burgundavia | or right when you are rushing somewhere else and cannot write it down | 10:51 |
| mpt | iirc, you were talking about some team being dysfunctional, or something like that, and I was interested in more details but you'd gone | 10:53 |
| Madpilot | aren't most teams dysfuntional to one degree or another? ;) | 10:54 |
| Burgundavia | the ubuntu marketing team being dysfunctional? | 10:54 |
| mpt | "At least give me points for trying, the truth is I'm a Debian User, so I'm biased, and also I'm not too bright." -- ouch | 10:58 |
| Madpilot | where is that gem from? | 10:59 |
| crimsun | initial guess is something related to one of those two zomgUbuntuConspiracyPONIES sounder dealies | 11:00 |
| mpt | Madpilot, from the link you pasted in here 171 minutes ago | 11:00 |
| Madpilot | ah, crimsun guesses right ;) | 11:01 |

| Burgundavia | mpt: are you in england, you poor bastard? | 11:26 |
| mdke | plus other-Matthew will be pretty tired, right? | 11:26 |
| mpt | He's just turned up and he's surprisingly perky | 11:27 |
| mpt | Burgundavia, yes, hence the rain | 11:28 |
| Burgundavia | mpt: it does rain in NZ too | 11:28 |
| mpt | Shush! | 11:28 |
| Burgundavia | but I must admit, English rain is much more depressing than rain in any other country | 11:29 |
| mdke | it's nasty here atm. mpt, I don't think I will make tonight. Let me know how you get on Mon-Wed? | 11:29 |
| mpt | ok | 11:29 |
| Madpilot | wiki.u.c & help.u.c both still down, evidently... | 11:35 |
| Burgundavia | Madpilot: not for me | 11:35 |
| mdke | works here too | 11:36 |
| Madpilot | not here... this house's net connection has been acting stupid lately, though | 11:37 |
| Burgundavia | mdke: working for me is a little more relevant to Madpilot | 11:38 |
| Burgundavia | being in the same city and on the same ISP and all | 11:38 |
| Madpilot | Burgundavia, has Shaw been fine for you, the last few days? | 11:38 |
| Burgundavia | I have been having issues with loss of connections | 11:38 |
| Burgundavia | for 1 to 2 hours | 11:38 |
| Madpilot | I had no DNS two nights ago, IRC worked perfectly but no DNS access :| | 11:38 |
| Burgundavia | hmm | 11:38 |
| Madpilot | night before that, I lost all connection for about 2hrs | 11:39 |
| Burgundavia | I was wondering if someone was dos-ing ubuntu.ca, but it seems to be more widespread tha] n that | 11:39 |
| Madpilot | when it runs, it's blazing fast, but it seems to fall over too much... | 11:39 |
| Burgundavia | just recently | 11:40 |
| Burgundavia | given I am running a server on the connection, I don't think I have a leg to stand on to complain | 11:40 |
| mdke | nice work on the newsletter | 11:40 |
| Burgundavia | thanks. Too bad jdub didn't see it that way | 11:41 |
| mdke | hmm? | 11:41 |
| Burgundavia | oh, he bitched at me about the jono section | 11:41 |
| Burgundavia | said it linked his leaving with jonos arrival | 11:42 |
| mdke | well, jono certainly isn't a replacement for him, it's a totally different role, that's right | 11:42 |
| mdke | still, quite right to have a section about the post | 11:42 |
| mdke | maybe you can remove the bit about Jeff | 11:42 |
| Burgundavia | he is the only person to have mentioned it to me, so I will put it down to one of jeff's little foibles | 11:42 |
| mdke | it's not the first time I've seen someone say that the CM is a replacement for jdub, so maybe he wants to stamp on that misunderstanding | 11:43 |
| Burgundavia | I didn't write it as such | 11:43 |
| Burgundavia | I was merely commenting on the arrival of one and the departure of another | 11:43 |
| crimsun | I almost edited that section out, actually, but I didn't know the original context, so I left it | 11:44 |
| Burgundavia | crimsun: you should have edited it | 11:44 |
| mdke | it does give that impression, but I see what you mean | 11:44 |
| mdke | also s/banager/manager :) | 11:44 |
| crimsun | b/m ? that's probably my typo (dvorak and all) | 11:45 |
| mdke | anyway, it's a small point, is a good newsletter | 11:45 |
| Burgundavia | of course, the really key question is: was my joke funny | 11:45 |
| Burgundavia | ? | 11:45 |
| Madpilot | 'cat herder'? | 11:46 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 11:46 |
| mdke | Madpilot: your words, weren't they? | 11:46 |
| mdke | or mpt's | 11:46 |
| Madpilot | not directly, AFAIK | 11:47 |
| Madpilot | blame Burgundavia for the joke, anyway ;) | 11:47 |
| mdke | remember when the job was advertised, we were talking about it in here. Must have been mpt | 11:47 |
| Burgundavia | might have been | 11:47 |
| Burgundavia | I have used the term cat herder in the past and I know it is old | 11:48 |
| mdke | yeah, it's appropriate | 11:48 |
| Burgundavia | right. Jokes are supposed to be funny, not "appropriate" | 11:48 |
| Madpilot | I remember the chat in here about the job announcement, but can't remember who made the cat herding comment - might have been me | 11:49 |
| mdke | funny then | 11:49 |

| Burgundavia | Madpilot: you busy tomorrow? | 11:50 |
| Madpilot | Burgundavia, working 4-8 @ VFC, other than that, no | 11:50 |
| Burgundavia | can you upgrade ubuntucanada? | 11:50 |
| Madpilot | Burgundavia, to Dapper? | 11:51 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 11:51 |

| Burgundavia | I willb e around to fix anything locally | 11:51 |
| Burgundavia | mdke: no, it is in my basement | 11:51 |
| mdke | ah, fine | 11:51 |
| mdke | they don't boot with dapper :/ | 11:51 |
| Burgundavia | oh, fun | 11:51 |
| Madpilot | Burgundavia, sure, I'll do it sometime in the morning/early afternoon. Hopefully won't take long & won't screw up ;) | 11:52 |
| Burgundavia | the server is an old grey box that used to be my step mother's desktop | 11:52 |
