joeyoh man17:34
joeywho let akgraner in here?!?!17:34
joey:-)17:34
joeyHi akgraner! It's like suddenly you got fired up with FOSS. I love it!17:34
akgranerHi joey17:34
joeyjohnc4510, do you know what Dave Bush's IRC nick is?  He's applied to the Fridge team.17:35
akgranerWell I always had an interest..just didn't know where to start17:35
joeyjohnc4510, I was hoping to have someone mentor him as a condition of addition.17:35
akgranerjoey, I hopped in here when you weren't looking...:-P!17:35
joeyakgraner, I'm glad you found SEVERAL starting points. :-)17:36
tychejoey: Dave Bush is myrtlebeachbums17:36
joeythanks tyche17:36
akgraneryep I did...:-) now I just have to narrow it down a bit...:-)17:37
tychejohnc4510 hasn't surfaced yet.  I was in no condition yesterday (see http://www.flickr.com/photos/22090195@N03/3582980322/sizes/o/ for an example), and he put the UWN together.  boredandblogging helped with the publishing.17:38
joeytyche, surgery?17:41
joeyakgraner, my only suggestion is start with something you like and see if you fit well personality-wise with existing team.17:42
joeyakgraner, in my case I decided to start a LoCo group :-)   But that's overkill17:42
akgranerjoey, thanks yea I am working with the NC one...:-)17:42
tycheI don't know.  I'll have to see an ophthalmologist.  The right eye is a cataract, I know.   I don't know WHAT'S happening with the left eye, but it's gotten progressively worse over the course of 5 or 6 years, to the point where I could create that "artists rendition" of what I see.17:42
akgranerand there is SELF this month, Leadership Summit in July, BarCamp in August, ...I enjoy the community aspect of the community while learning more about the technical side...:-)17:44
joeytyche, well, do take care of your eyes.  I have to take 250mcg of Lutein daily to fend off the eye strain.17:44
joeyakgraner, I hear SELF is good, but I've never been. BarCamp is usually interesting. It's like burning man for computer junkies :-)17:45
tycheThis is occasional, which makes it harder to diagnose.  The trouble is that it's never appeared when I had eye tests.  It could be anything from pressure on the eye to tumor.  Delightful thought, isn't it?17:46
akgranerjoey,  I went to the LUG meeting here in RDU and got invited so I thought what the heck...can't hurt and I just might learn something...:-)17:46
joeytyche, well, run over to walgreens and pick up one of the eye formulas to see if it helps. There are a couple really good ones there but I personally use a multivitamin with Lutein in it. It can't hurt but it sure might help.17:49
joeyakgraner, yeah really! You might like it too! :-D17:49
tychejoey: Yea, I'll talk to my wife about that when she gets home.  She's got my Jeep (we're down to one car, now that she's retired).17:50
joeytyche, for me, I'm on the computer for about 16 hours a day so I had no choice. If I don't take the stuff I get headaches. My qlink has helped a lot too but YMMV with it.17:51
akgraner:-)  joey thanks again for the encouragement...catch you later...17:52
joeytyche, oh the other thing I did was to cut out sugar and limit caffeine.  I found that after a nice liter of coffee my eyes would blur :-)17:54
tycheI rarely get that problem.  Comes from having been a truck driver.  My eyes get tired before they start to blur normally.18:06
newz2000I haven't stopped thinking about or working on the new theme, though effort did have to slow because of release and my preparations for Canonical's annual employee meeting...19:41
newz2000but just saw something really nice come through wanted to give it a shout: http://www.ubuntu-fl.org/19:41
joeynewz2000, we just need anything at this point. :-)20:10
newz2000I've got a theme20:24
