[03:44] <poningru> oh nm

[06:44] <Burgundavia> score. I just got some great spam
[06:44] <Burgundavia> seriously NSFW: "Nude midgets indulging in midget sex message from Alice Burke"
[06:45] <elkbuntu> rofl

[06:49] <poningru> I was thinking about putting up the cc meeting
[06:49] <poningru> but apart from that there really isnt anything else coming up
[06:49] <tonyyarusso> Um, yeah, it's a bit odd.  Makes me think I'm in offtopic.
[06:50] <Burgundavia> Ubuntu got mentioned in this weeks Economist
[06:50] <Burgundavia> but I left the magazine on the plane ;)
[06:50] <poningru> no
[06:51] <Madpilot> Burgundavia, I hope you tucked a ShipIt CD into the mag alongside the article :)
[06:51] <Burgundavia> Madpilot: no, I forgot the magzine. I did want to keep it
[06:53] <poningru> anyones else get nothing at economist.com?
[06:54] <elkbuntu> try with www?

[07:06] <poningru> sweet
[07:08] <poningru> thanks dude
[07:09] <poningru> this solves like a gajillion problem
[07:15] <Plug> I packaged it, I didn't write it
[07:16] <Plug> but you're elcome :)
[07:24] <poningru> you know irc should be off limit to people who are drunk
[07:25] <Madpilot> poningru, I could kickban you, if that would help ;)
[07:25] <Madpilot> assuming you're the drunk we're talking about, of course
[07:26] <poningru> yeah...
[07:26] <poningru> different network though :(
[07:26] <Madpilot> ah, too bad :P
[07:26] <poningru> :p
[07:27] <poningru> kinda
[07:27] <elkbuntu> poningru, "no drunks on irc" were the case, the ubuntu-au team would be nonexistant after about 5pm most days
[07:27] <poningru> bwhahahaha
[07:27] <poningru> now thats my kinda locoteam
[07:28] <elkbuntu> we had a 'guess which song this line is from' game going the other night after the osota stream, was fun
[07:28] <Plug> oooh
[07:28] <Plug> I'd clean up at that
[07:29] <elkbuntu> Plug, i was quoting aretha franklin, bread, etc and having them totally lost :D
[07:29] <Plug> OK, well, I draw the line at Bread
[07:29] <Plug> I think my parents had a Bread LP
[07:30] <elkbuntu> i  the track 'a blind man in the bleachers', gives me goosebumps every time
[07:33] <elkbuntu> ah right The Music 'one way in, no way out (nobody had heard of),  and The Doors 'whiskey, mystics and men'
[07:34] <tonyyarusso> LPs are so cool.  Too bad 95% of my generation doesn't even know what they are...
[07:35] <poningru> http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/recaps/2006/09/30/34677_recap.html
[07:35] <poningru> the reason I was drunk
[07:37] <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, LPs? Giant black things with low-quality music on them, aren't they?
[07:37] <Madpilot> ;)
[07:37] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: Yeah, but they have _character_.
[07:38] <elkbuntu> hehe
[07:38] <tonyyarusso> And 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] <elkbuntu> our record player doesnt have a needle anymore :(
[07:43] <poningru> dude you can have it
[07:44] <poningru> or put it on your lp or whatever
[07:44] <poningru> :p
[07:44] <poningru> perchance to dream
[07:56] <BHSPitLappy> nite
[09:28] <elkbuntu> has the october linux format been mentioned in UWN yet?
[09:50] <Burgundavia> elkbuntu: afaik, no

[09:52] <elkbuntu> im going to get it tuesday, $25 worth of mag but it looks worth it
[10:01] <Burgundavia> very cool
[10:02] <yama> $25? woah that's expensive
[10:02] <elkbuntu> it's the feature mag they do.. cant seem to find it on the site
[10:02] <elkbuntu> yama, mag+cds+poster
[10:02] <yama> hmmm... even then...
[10:03] <yama> import mags cost a fortune
[10:03] <elkbuntu> hmm seems it was September 2006 not october
[10:04] <elkbuntu> either way...
[10:04] <Burgundavia> elkbuntu: yep, I saw it at LWE in SF
[11:05] <mdke_> I've subscribed the marketing team mailing list to bug 63192, any thoughts welcome
[11:06] <Burgundavia> mdke_: cool, ok
[11:12] <elkbuntu> mdke_, branching marketplace into product and service could be worthwhile...
[11:12] <Burgundavia> yep
[11:14] <elkbuntu> mdke_, have you emailed the list yet?
[11:14] <mdke_> elkbuntu: launchpad did so, but it is stuck in the filters
[11:14] <elkbuntu> mdke_, ok, secondly, does this also affect -doc (and have you subscribed them also?)
[11:15] <mdke_> not that I can think of
[11:23] <elkbuntu> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/63192 for anyone else would otherwise proceed to argue with ubugtu in -offtopic or elsewhere :
[11:24] <Madpilot> heh
[11:24] <Madpilot> I 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...
[11:25] <elkbuntu> mdke_, i'd probably class it as wishlist or minor (not brave enough to mark it as so herself though)
[11:25] <Burgundavia> Madpilot: they need to set a costant fixed value for certain things
[11:25] <elkbuntu> mine = 25727, but no idea how
[11:25] <elkbuntu> w000t, pizza arrived. bbs
[11:26] <Madpilot> Burgundavia, it's got to be the team-subscribed bugs that drive my karma? (-doc's bugs, mostly?)
[11:26] <mdke_> elkbuntu: wishlist sounds good
[11:28] <Burgundavia> Madpilot: no, the LP people are messing with the numbers
[11:29] <Madpilot> ah. Last time I bothered looking, I was under 10,000; curious that it's almost quadrupled for me...
[11:43] <Madpilot> good night all - how did it get to be 0245 so fast?
[11:44] <Burgundavia> hmm --> Karma:  817073
[11:45] <elkbuntu> Burgundavia, but you're the bug-reporting/triaging/whatever-else superstar
[11:46] <Burgundavia> not really
[11:46] <Burgundavia> more than half of that is due to spec stuff at UBZ
[11:46] <elkbuntu> mdke_, its not going to let me do it
[11:47] <elkbuntu> locked on undecided :
[11:49] <Burgundavia> elkbuntu: you need to be part of -bugs to do that
[11:49] <elkbuntu> ah right
[11:49] <elkbuntu> (without getting into bug stuff)
[11:51] <Burgundavia> done
[11:52] <elkbuntu> cool
[12:09] <mdke_> Burgundavia: actually it's ubuntu-website for triaging that bug, but same difference :)
[12:11] <Burgundavia> hmm?
[12:11] <elkbuntu> hmm corey's alteration email got through.. where's the other one?
[12:12] <mdke_> Burgundavia: for triaging bugs on products, it is the product bug contact that has the ability to change the importance, rather than -bugs
[12:12] <mdke_> but you're a member of both :)
[12:12] <Burgundavia> ah
