elkbuntui  the track 'a blind man in the bleachers', gives me goosebumps every time07:30
=== elkbuntu tries to remember what else she put forth
elkbuntuah right The Music 'one way in, no way out (nobody had heard of),  and The Doors 'whiskey, mystics and men'07:33

Madpilot;)07:37
tonyyarussoMadpilot: Yeah, but they have _character_.07:37
elkbuntuhehe07:38
tonyyarussoAnd even better on that front (while worse for sound quality), 78s.  On a hand crank Victrola.  We have one and it makes me laugh.07:38

elkbuntuim going to get it tuesday, $25 worth of mag but it looks worth it09:52
Burgundaviavery cool10:01
yama$25? woah that's expensive10:02
elkbuntuit's the feature mag they do.. cant seem to find it on the site10:02
elkbuntuyama, mag+cds+poster10:02
yamahmmm... even then...10:02
yamaimport mags cost a fortune10:03
elkbuntuhmm seems it was September 2006 not october10:03
elkbuntueither way...10:04
Burgundaviaelkbuntu: yep, I saw it at LWE in SF10:04
mdke_I've subscribed the marketing team mailing list to bug 63192, any thoughts welcome11:05
Burgundaviamdke_: cool, ok11:06
elkbuntumdke_, branching marketplace into product and service could be worthwhile...11:12
Burgundaviayep11:12
elkbuntumdke_, have you emailed the list yet?11:14
mdke_elkbuntu: launchpad did so, but it is stuck in the filters11:14
elkbuntumdke_, ok, secondly, does this also affect -doc (and have you subscribed them also?)11:14
mdke_not that I can think of11:15
=== elkbuntu adds 'brainstorm about ubuntu marketplace' to her todo list for after dinner
=== elkbuntu pokes the filters with a pointy stick
elkbuntuhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/63192 for anyone else would otherwise proceed to argue with ubugtu in -offtopic or elsewhere :11:23
Madpilotheh11:24
MadpilotI see LP's Karma system is still largely random - I'm up to 31,000+ points, and I haven't even logged into LP for ages...11:24
elkbuntumdke_, i'd probably class it as wishlist or minor (not brave enough to mark it as so herself though)11:25
BurgundaviaMadpilot: they need to set a costant fixed value for certain things11:25
elkbuntumine = 25727, but no idea how11:25
elkbuntuw000t, pizza arrived. bbs11:25
MadpilotBurgundavia, it's got to be the team-subscribed bugs that drive my karma? (-doc's bugs, mostly?)11:26
mdke_elkbuntu: wishlist sounds good11:26
BurgundaviaMadpilot: no, the LP people are messing with the numbers11:28
Madpilotah. Last time I bothered looking, I was under 10,000; curious that it's almost quadrupled for me...11:29
Madpilotgood night all - how did it get to be 0245 so fast?11:43
Burgundaviahmm --> Karma:  81707311:44
elkbuntuBurgundavia, but you're the bug-reporting/triaging/whatever-else superstar11:45
Burgundavianot really11:46
Burgundaviamore than half of that is due to spec stuff at UBZ11:46
elkbuntumdke_, its not going to let me do it11:46
elkbuntulocked on undecided :11:47
Burgundaviaelkbuntu: you need to be part of -bugs to do that11:49
elkbuntuah right11:49
=== elkbuntu has enough to do.. not as much as some.. but enough
elkbuntu(without getting into bug stuff)11:49
Burgundaviadone11:51
elkbuntucool11:52
mdke_Burgundavia: actually it's ubuntu-website for triaging that bug, but same difference :)12:09
Burgundaviahmm?12:11
elkbuntuhmm corey's alteration email got through.. where's the other one?12:11
mdke_Burgundavia: for triaging bugs on products, it is the product bug contact that has the ability to change the importance, rather than -bugs12:12
mdke_but you're a member of both :)12:12
