lophytenixternal: ping08:02
nixternalyo yo08:04
lophytehey, its been a while08:04
lophytehows it going?08:04
nixternalcircles? is that a good answer maybe ;)08:05
lophytehaha08:05
nixternali feel like i am chasing my tail08:05
lophytewhy?08:05
jendaMenZa has a lappy!08:05
nixternaldon't know, just doesn't seem like i have accomplished much recently08:05
lophyteah08:06
lophytehow's things going with ubuntu chicago?08:06
nixternalwe are going to be meeting this week to discuss the future of Ubuntu Chicago08:07
=== MenZaLap [n=menza@unaffiliated/menza] has joined #ubuntu-marketing
lophyteis that a good thing or a bad thing?08:07
lophytelol08:07
nixternalwe might keep Ubuntu Chicago, and start Ubuntu Illinois to get an entire state together..it seems we have a lot of southern Illinois people interested08:07
nixternalit should be a good thing08:08
jendaneat :)08:08
lophyteawesome08:08
nixternalthis week at UDS it seems that they want team leaders for the locos and I don't like that08:08
jendaI don't really like that either.08:08
jendaBecause the Czech LoCo is about to lose the leader.08:08
nixternali asked the guys in ubuntu chicago if any of them wanted to be leaders, and the same thing was said by everyone, which we started from day one "we are all leaders, none of us are followers"08:09
jendaAnd we'll have to decide who it will be.08:09
jendaeek08:09
lophyteI consider myself a co-ordinator, not a leader08:10
nixternali consider myself the team contact and thats it08:10
jendai consider... umm...08:10
nixternalthat is the only title in ubuntu chicago...leaderless teams are the norm in the community08:10
=== jenda quietly leaves the room.
lophytewell tbh if I wasn't scheduling meetings and pushing for having an agenda and goals I don't think anything would get done08:10
nixternalonce you get a leader, the inferiority complexes start kicking in08:10
jendawe didn't have that under our old leader.08:11
nixternalthat is the same for ubuntu chicago as well, and i don't like that a majority of the team thinks that i am the team leader..i start something, and then i will ask for someone to take it over08:11
nixternali ahve done a lot of work on my own, but i give credit to ubuntu chicago, and soem of the guys do the same as well08:11
jendathat's the way it's supposed to work :)08:12
lophyteif you don't have someone to keep things organizing and moving.. things don't happen in my experience08:12
lophytethat's not a leader per se... which is why I say co-ordinator08:13
nixternalwell, ubuntu chicago is finally getting to the point where people, other than me are calling meetings now, and coordinating stuff, which is very nice for a change08:13
lophyteah08:14
nixternalour problem is we need more people...right now there are maybe 40 of us pushing ubuntu to more than 9 million people..that isn't going to work08:14
jendaooh08:15
lophytehah.. we've got about 5 regulars ;)08:15
jendawe're worse off, by far, nix.08:15
lophyteus too08:15
lophytebut we're just starting out.. so08:15
jendaand we're established :/08:15
BHSPitLappyerm08:15
jendathe team's been here for ovah a year.08:15
nixternalchicago has only been around since june08:16
jendait's not more than 10 people who actually do nything, and it's mainly translations.08:16
nixternalit is hard keeping people though08:16
jenda4 dedicated folks.08:16
nixternalwe get the excited first time linux users that last for all but a week, thats what i hate08:16
jendaeek08:16
jendaYou get an amazing quality of coordination in Chicago, from what I see here. There's no way we could usher 40 people into doing something here.08:17
lophyteoi, I want more open source hot chocolate.. but I'm all out of milk08:18
jenda08:18
nixternalthe nice thing is our 40 people all are active within the local lugs as well, so that helps out big time08:18
jendaopen a new source, then, lophyte08:19
BHSPitLappyhey, I was a first time excited linux user08:19
BHSPitLappybut that's lasted for what, 7 years so far08:19
nixternalhaha08:19
BHSPitLappyhardly a week08:19
nixternali was too back in like 94 i believe08:19
nixternalwhen did amd start pushing the k6's?08:19
jendaWe're getting involved with CZLUG now. I'm looking forward to what that brings.08:19
=== BHSPitLappy started Linux at about age 11
=== BHSPitLappy thinks
jendaThey used to pay us a shipit-like service before.08:19
nixternali know the first time i compiled a linux kernel it was on a p7508:21
jendaeek08:21
jendaI'm a youngling then.08:21
nixternalloaded with 64mb of ram, maxed out, and had 2 3gb hard drives i think08:21
jendaI first started a Mandrake 9.2 two and a half years ago.08:22
jendaThen i spent a year in Canada... on XP :(08:22
jendaand since then, it's Ubuntu only.08:22
nixternalhehe08:23
jendaOnly some 15 months!08:23
BHSPitLappyI started with Suse 9, I believe? or does that not sound right08:23
nixternali have been using slackware again, more and more at that08:23
BHSPitLappy6 or 7 years ago08:23
nixternal6 or 7 years ago would have been suse 6 i believe08:23
BHSPitLappymaybe it was 7, then08:24
nixternal1999, was about the v6 era i believe..i was using suse big time then..that is about the time that yast2 came about08:24
BHSPitLappybecause I remember an odd number08:24
BHSPitLappy:D08:24
jendaooh... posters rolling out bigtime now. Only 260 left. ubuntuforums.org will have me all out by next week :-D08:24

jendaBHSPitLappy: it also contains info on what's done with the money.08:28
BHSPitLappyI would think that those spam spiders would have adapted to read them by now08:29
BHSPitLappyhmm, you're czech?08:30

jenda:)10:42
jendadoes anyone know regexp here?10:42
Flannelwhat's up?10:43
jendahow would I make 3 capital letters, a lowercase and three more caps?10:43
jenda[A-Z] ..[a-z] [A-Z] .. was my first attempt... didn't really work :/10:43
Flannel[A-Z] {3}[a-z] [A-Z] {3} would do it10:44
Flannelthe {3} is just a shortcut, could also go [A-Z] [A-Z] [A-Z] 10:45
Flannelbut, the former is how I would do it10:45
jendaok, thx...10:47
jendaand how do I make grep use it?10:47
jendaI tried grep "[A-Z] [A-Z] [A-Z] [a-z] [A-Z] [A-Z] [A-Z] "10:47
jendabut it didn't work.10:48

jendahaha :)10:53
jendaFlannel: I did the _exact_ same mistake :)10:53
Flannelso... hmm.  oh, hexeditor to the rescue!10:53
jendaEven before I rotted the text, I tried the url, and it didn't work because of that... so I rotted the text...10:54
jendaManually!10:54
jendaonly to find out that i made a typo :)10:54
Flanneleh, I wouldve just threw together a char++; char++ thing ;)10:54
jendaI would've done that too...10:55
jenda...if I had an effin' clue how :)10:55
Flannelso... aeilqtuy are the rare characters10:56
Flannelalthough, I imagine the order is the answer10:57

Flanneljenda: must be because of linebreaks, or something11:14

jendabut removing linebreaks kills grep altogether, no?11:16
Flanneljenda: well, it'll return the line that it occurs in ;)11:17
