[04:04] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: hi :) did you finish that xubuntu poster by any chance? :)
[04:05] <Madpilot> lotusleaf, nyet, did not. I'm in the middle of a Dapper->Edgy dist-upgrade right now too, so it ain't happening tonight.
[04:05] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: k, thx :) wow, still on Dapper?
[04:05] <Madpilot> yeah, I'm Jurrasic.
[04:06] <lotusleaf> :P
[04:06] <Madpilot> heck, the ubuntu.ca server is still running Breezy...
[04:06] <lotusleaf> wow
[04:06] <lotusleaf> oh, wait, you're not there ^^
[04:08] <Madpilot> no, I don't hang out in -forums. Some folks I don't get along with do, so I don't.
[04:08] <lotusleaf> ah
[04:08] <lotusleaf> that's what /ignore is for :)
[04:08] <lotusleaf> hmm.. an obey feisty poster :P
[04:08] <lotusleaf> obey the fawn! :P
[04:09] <lotusleaf> do you have a business for your art aside from your roughcut designs?
[04:09] <Admiral_Chicago>  oh goodness..
[04:09] <Madpilot> lotusleaf, not really. I'm going to set up a 'company' website sometime this year, as Wire Lizard Designs, though. Eventually.
[04:10] <lotusleaf> cool
[04:10] <lotusleaf> good luck w/ that and e-mail me when you get it done so I can link you ;)
[04:10] <Madpilot> need to find good hosting. On a Canadian server, so I'm only dealing with one set of stupid laws.
[04:16] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: What do you do that brushes the law?
[04:16] <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, nothing, and I want to keep it that way. Plus, keeping everything in Canada keeps stupid cr*p like the PATRIOT Act away from my serverspace.
[04:17] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: Fair enough.  Hosting in some parts of Europe could be okay too though.
[04:18] <Madpilot> probably, yeah. 
[04:19] <beuno> tonyyarusso: hey, you know anything about the UWN?
[04:19] <tonyyarusso> beuno: ya, why?  (I've worked on it before)
[04:20] <beuno> tonyyarusso: UWN 30 has been stalled for weeks (a month?)
[04:21] <lotusleaf> ya, everytime I ask about UWN a tumbleweed blows by
[04:21] <tonyyarusso> beuno: Oh really?
[04:21] <tonyyarusso> Looks like Cody has been a bit scarce on IRC.  Perhaps he's no longer willing to head it up?  (And we all know how much free time Corey has)
[04:22] <beuno> tonyyarusso: yeap, AFAIK, it's still on gabby!
[04:22] <beuno> | Corey is doing UWN again, as Cody is on leave. Edit party at 03:00 UTC Friday morning |
[04:22] <beuno>  Topic for #ubuntu-marketing set by Burgwork at Tue Feb 13 15:16:19 2007
[04:22] <beuno> :D
[04:22] <tonyyarusso> Doh.
[04:23] <tonyyarusso> Cool.
[04:23] <beuno> I'm not sure how to get it moving
[04:23] <beuno> jenda is gone, sommerville32 is on leave, and Corey is scarce
[04:23] <tonyyarusso> beuno: write a script that greets everyone who joins with FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY, and start trolling the *-offtopics for help.
[04:24] <beuno> lol
[04:24] <beuno> that was friday 16 feb he meant
[04:24] <tonyyarusso> Seriously on the offtopic part.
[04:24] <beuno> :D
[04:24] <lotusleaf> I'd like to see a monthly cycle where a different person heads the UWN so there's some kind of rotation schema
[04:25] <tonyyarusso> that might be good
[04:25] <lotusleaf> that can remove the stress that can set in
[04:26] <beuno> lotusleaf: sounds like a great idea
[04:26] <beuno> you should send the proposal to the mailing list
[04:26] <lotusleaf> good idea
[04:28] <Madpilot> lotusleaf, so did I just here you volunteer to do UWN for March? :)
[04:28] <tonyyarusso> yep
[04:28] <tonyyarusso> That's what I heard
[04:28] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: that sounds good, but I'd have to shadow someone for a while before I could feel confident to take such a role :)
[04:29] <Madpilot> harass Corey
[04:29] <lotusleaf> but I already harass you enough as it is :)
[04:29] <lotusleaf> obey xubuntu!
[04:29] <lotusleaf> :P
[04:31] <Madpilot> so spread your efforts ;)
[04:31] <lotusleaf> lol
[04:31] <lotusleaf> I've never used Gobby either
[04:31] <lotusleaf> did whiprush ever return to marketing?
[04:38] <beuno> I can help out with UWN, I have been for the las 5 or 6  :D
[04:38] <beuno> maybe I should move the UWN from gobby to the wiki?
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> yeah
[11:09] <tuppa> hi
[11:09] <tuppa> would this be the place to discuss about the Ubuntu Business Council?
[12:47] <elkbuntu> tuppa, Ubuntu Business Council?
[05:08] <dneary> jono: Hi there
[05:08] <jono> hey dave
[05:09] <jono> thanks for the very supportive blog post :)
[05:09] <dneary> jono: It's not fair - you have a boss that can pony up 100 :)
[05:09] <jono> heh
[05:09] <dneary> At least he knocked Travis off the top ;)
[05:09] <dneary> Over half way already! You're going to break 1000 tomorrow, I bet
[05:10] <dneary> You'll have to revise your target and keep a progress-meter somewhere
[05:10] <tonyyarusso> what on earth are you talking about?
[05:11] <dneary> jono: Let him in on the secret
[05:11] <dneary> tonyyarusso: He's shaving the beard again
[05:11] <tonyyarusso> dneary: aaah
[05:11] <tonyyarusso> So no more  :)> fun?
[05:14] <jono> tonyyarusso: http://www.jonobacon.org/?p=907
[05:17] <dneary> tonyyarusso: I lied
[05:17] <dneary> I would not give 20 to see Jono shave his beard
[05:18] <tonyyarusso> so I see :P
[05:23] <jono> :)

[11:15] <Admiral_Chicago> :(
[11:15] <tonyyarusso> elkbuntu: Say, do you know if it's possible for a teacher to have an array of miniature VNC windows to half-monitor the desktop in the room, and if one looks fishy, click that thumbnail and it enlarges to full-size?
[11:16] <tonyyarusso> Admiral_Chicago: :(
[11:16] <Admiral_Chicago> yay.
[11:16] <elkbuntu> tonyyarusso, im not aware of something for linux along those lines
[11:16] <elkbuntu> tonyyarusso, ask the edubuntu fellows, they might
[11:16] <tonyyarusso> 'k
[11:18] <Admiral_Chicago> i've seen tools like that for Windows, it was a good tool
[11:18] <tonyyarusso> I just got an e-mail address from my dad of a retired guy who refurbishes old computers and gives them to poor people.  Apparently he's had trouble finding enough legal Windows licenses.  ;)
