[06:09] <alkisg> Good morning
[06:48] <highvoltage> good morning alkisg
[13:00] <ace_suares> morning all
[13:24] <alkisg> Good morning ace_suares
[13:24] <highvoltage> morning ace_suares
[13:24] <alkisg> Hey highvoltage
[13:24] <highvoltage> hey alkisg!
[13:25] <highvoltage> I missed the meeting on Friday, sorry about that
[13:25] <alkisg> Fun, we answered 24 minutes after ace_suares said good morning, but on the exact second :)
[13:25] <highvoltage> heh :)
[13:25] <ace_suares> and on the exact same day and year! Aaaaaaaamzing!
[13:25] <ace_suares> Aaaaaaamazing!
[13:26] <highvoltage> yes what's the chances of that.
[13:26] <alkisg> No big deal about the meeting... ace said he'd restructure the whole wiki and we said ok :)
[13:26] <ace_suares> one in something!
[13:26] <ace_suares> he basically yes, and flint announced sugar ppa and sbalneav said sabayon and the docs are coming along.
[14:42] <nubae> highvoltage: I missed it too :-/
[14:42] <nubae> funny how we tried to organise it and we miss it, heh
[14:43] <highvoltage> nubae: sheesh, yes! I guess it happens sometimes
[15:23]  * mhall119|work is reading stgraber's interview in full circle magazine
[18:30] <LaserJock> anybody about?
[18:30] <andv> hello LaserJock
[18:30] <andv> :)
[18:31]  * LaserJock is trying some funky web irc client
[18:31] <andv> xD
[18:32] <andv> LaserJock, how edubuntu developing is going?
[18:33] <mhall119|work> LaserJock is back!
[18:33] <LaserJock> well, sorta
[18:34] <LaserJock> I don't have internet at home yet
[18:34] <LaserJock> so I'm using a Windows computer at work at the moment
[18:34] <highvoltage> LaserJock!
[18:34] <LaserJock> just got in last night after a 1 week/ 3,500 mile drive
[18:34] <highvoltage> how are you/
[18:34] <LaserJock> tired!
[18:35] <LaserJock> but my wife, pets, and "stuff" is in Massachusetts now
[18:36] <highvoltage> did the lights all go down in massachusetts?
[18:36] <LaserJock> highvoltage: don't think so
[18:36] <highvoltage> (sorry stupid bee-gees joke)
[18:37] <Lns> wb LaserJock !
[18:37] <LaserJock> highvoltage: I have a commit to the edubuntu,karmic seed bzr branch
[18:37] <LaserJock> highvoltage: but no way to upload it
[18:37] <highvoltage> LaserJock: stgraber can do that right?
[18:37] <highvoltage> stgraber: are you around/
[18:37] <alkisg> Hey LaserJock! You'
[18:37] <alkisg> ve been missed :)
[18:38] <LaserJock> btw, my PhD got officially posted so \o/
[18:38] <mhall119|work> LaserJock: you need irssi and a remote server for chatting during work hours
[18:39] <LaserJock> mhall119|work: I don't think I'll get to do that
[18:39] <LaserJock> the Air Force is a bit picky about the computers
[18:39] <mhall119|work> yet you're using a web-based IRC client
[18:39]  * nubae congratulates LaserJock
[18:40] <LaserJock> mhall119|work: on an "unsecure" network. I think they block a lot of ports, including ssh I think
[18:40] <mhall119|work> LaserJock: alright then, get an Android phone
[18:41] <mhall119|work> or do they make you work in a faraday cage?
[18:42] <LaserJock> heh
[18:42] <LaserJock> no
[18:42] <nubae> yeah my work blocks everything except port 80, people come up with enthusiastic creative ways to get around it though
[18:42] <LaserJock> well
[18:42] <LaserJock> the idea really is that at work I should be working :-)
[18:42] <mhall119|work> what?
[18:42] <LaserJock> my hours aren't bad so I hope to work and work and play at home
[18:43] <LaserJock> it's weird having a real job after 11 years of uni
[18:43] <nubae> LaserJock: what are u doing as work exactly?
[18:44] <LaserJock> nubae: if I told you ... I'd have to kill you
[18:44] <LaserJock> :-)
[18:44] <mhall119|work> well okay, but it had better be good
[18:44] <LaserJock> the basic thing is that I'm looking at plasmas
[18:44] <nubae> plasmas?
[18:44] <LaserJock> I create plasmas in a vacumn chamber with a strong laser
[18:44] <mhall119|work> weapon or propulsion?
[18:44]  * nubae doesnt even know what that is :-)
[18:44] <mhall119|work> nubae: lose electrons
[18:45] <LaserJock> mhall119|work: detection of both basically
[18:45]  * nubae visualises something Star Trekkie
[18:45] <LaserJock> heh
[18:45] <mhall119|work> nubae: it's far less interesting than that
[18:45] <nubae> eject the plasma, she's gonna blow
[18:45] <mhall119|work> visualize fire
[18:45] <nubae> :-)
[18:45] <LaserJock> basically you focus the laser beam down until it blows everything apart
[18:46] <mhall119|work> hey, that's always fun
[18:46] <LaserJock> and then I look to see how the atoms reform
[18:46] <LaserJock> into interesting molecules
[18:46] <nubae> well that does sound interesting the way u describe actually...
[18:46] <LaserJock> anyway, it's Defense space stuff
[18:47] <nubae> oh... against aliens... or illegal aliens?
[18:47] <nubae> (grin)
[18:47] <mhall119|work> mexicans is freakin lasers?
[18:47] <LaserJock> I think the "threat" is more across the ocean to the east
[18:48] <LaserJock> I mean, west
[18:48] <mhall119|work> Texas?
[18:48] <mhall119|work> oh, west
[18:48]  * LaserJock is tired
[18:48] <mhall119|work> oh, right, Texas?
[18:48] <mhall119|work> I mean, I know they're secessionist and love their guns, but I don't really think we need lasers to deal with them
[18:48]  * mhall119|work is in Florida
[18:48] <ogra> so yu moved east to help defending your country against a thread from the west ?
[18:49] <mhall119|work> ogra: maybe he knows something we don't?
[18:49] <LaserJock> ogra: something like that ;-)
[18:49] <ogra> hi btw
[18:49] <nubae> iy might turn out to be effective though... could have some mind altering contingent
[18:49] <mhall119|work> nubae: powerful lasers will definitely alter someone's mind
[18:49] <LaserJock> ogra: hi
[18:49] <ogra> good to see you back
[18:49] <mhall119|work> it'll alter it right into a steaming pool of mush
[18:50] <LaserJock> ogra: sorta, my brain is fried
[18:50] <ogra> yeah, understandable
[18:50] <LaserJock> I drove for ~ 15hr/day for 4 days
[18:50] <mhall119|work> case in point
[18:50] <nubae> heh... careful with those lasers ;-)
[18:50] <ogra> i heard that
[18:50] <ogra> so where are you based now ? boston ?
[18:50] <mhall119|work> LaserJock: are you saying the Air Force couldn't figure out a faster way of traveling?
[18:50] <LaserJock> well, outside of boston
[18:51] <ogra> cool
[18:51] <LaserJock> ogra: actually, I work about 1 mile from Lexington
[18:51] <ogra> we can meet up if i'm in the lexington office
[18:51] <nubae> Boston is nice... I lived there for 3 years
[18:51] <LaserJock> mhall119|work: well, I don't officially work for the Air Force. I'm sure the cool people get better ways :-)
[18:52] <LaserJock> so I moved from Reno, NV to Boston but work for a company in Utah :-)
[18:52] <nubae> heh
[18:52] <LaserJock> the paperwork has been overwhelming
[18:52] <ogra> LaserJock, you are not by chance at that small lex. airforce base where mark uses to land ?
[18:52] <LaserJock> ogra: probably
[18:52] <nubae> u'll start using the term 'wicked' soon enough ;-)
[18:52] <ogra> funny :)
[18:53] <LaserJock> nubae: hehe, I've heard it a few times already
[18:53] <nubae> and u'll have to paaak the caaah in the yaaahd
[18:53] <Lns> LOL nubae
[18:53] <LaserJock> I really hope I don't sound like that when I'm done
[18:53] <ogra> nubae, in boaastn ?
[18:54]  * Lns greets all btw
[18:56] <nubae> The Aquarium there is pretty nice... though its probably nothing compared to places in California or Florida
[18:57]  * ogra has seen the sydney Aquarium ... havent seen a better one yet
[18:58] <LaserJock> I'm still just trying to find the grocery store, etc.
[18:58] <LaserJock> but I bought a GPS unit for the car, which really helps
[18:58]  * nubae loves Aquariums... must be about the most soothing experience known, right up there along side meditation
[19:03]  * Lns didn't know nubae was into meditation too :)
[19:27]  * mhall119|work is into seditation
[19:31] <Lns> kind of related, though maybe a bit more dangerous in the long term ;)
[19:47] <ogra> highvoltage, LaserJock, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2009-August/011286.html some packaging training ;)
