[13:25] I missed the meeting on Friday, sorry about that [13:25] Fun, we answered 24 minutes after ace_suares said good morning, but on the exact second :) [13:25] heh :) [13:25] and on the exact same day and year! Aaaaaaaamzing! [13:25] Aaaaaaamazing! [13:26] yes what's the chances of that. [13:26] No big deal about the meeting... ace said he'd restructure the whole wiki and we said ok :) [13:26] one in something! [13:26] he basically yes, and flint announced sugar ppa and sbalneav said sabayon and the docs are coming along. [14:42] highvoltage: I missed it too :-/ [14:42] funny how we tried to organise it and we miss it, heh [14:43] nubae: sheesh, yes! I guess it happens sometimes [15:23] * mhall119|work is reading stgraber's interview in full circle magazine [18:30] anybody about? [18:30] hello LaserJock [18:30] :) [18:31] * LaserJock is trying some funky web irc client [18:31] xD [18:32] LaserJock, how edubuntu developing is going? [18:33] LaserJock is back! [18:33] well, sorta [18:34] I don't have internet at home yet [18:34] so I'm using a Windows computer at work at the moment [18:34] LaserJock! [18:34] just got in last night after a 1 week/ 3,500 mile drive [18:34] how are you/ [18:34] tired! [18:35] but my wife, pets, and "stuff" is in Massachusetts now [18:36] did the lights all go down in massachusetts? [18:36] highvoltage: don't think so [18:36] (sorry stupid bee-gees joke) [18:37] wb LaserJock ! [18:37] highvoltage: I have a commit to the edubuntu,karmic seed bzr branch [18:37] highvoltage: but no way to upload it [18:37] LaserJock: stgraber can do that right? [18:37] stgraber: are you around/ [18:37] Hey LaserJock! You' [18:37] ve been missed :) [18:38] btw, my PhD got officially posted so \o/ [18:38] LaserJock: you need irssi and a remote server for chatting during work hours [18:39] mhall119|work: I don't think I'll get to do that [18:39] the Air Force is a bit picky about the computers [18:39] yet you're using a web-based IRC client [18:39] * nubae congratulates LaserJock [18:40] mhall119|work: on an "unsecure" network. I think they block a lot of ports, including ssh I think [18:40] LaserJock: alright then, get an Android phone [18:41] or do they make you work in a faraday cage? [18:42] heh [18:42] no [18:42] yeah my work blocks everything except port 80, people come up with enthusiastic creative ways to get around it though [18:42] well [18:42] the idea really is that at work I should be working :-) [18:42] what? [18:42] my hours aren't bad so I hope to work and work and play at home [18:43] it's weird having a real job after 11 years of uni [18:43] LaserJock: what are u doing as work exactly? [18:44] nubae: if I told you ... I'd have to kill you [18:44] :-) [18:44] well okay, but it had better be good [18:44] the basic thing is that I'm looking at plasmas [18:44] plasmas? [18:44] I create plasmas in a vacumn chamber with a strong laser [18:44] weapon or propulsion? [18:44] * nubae doesnt even know what that is :-) [18:44] nubae: lose electrons [18:45] mhall119|work: detection of both basically [18:45] * nubae visualises something Star Trekkie [18:45] heh [18:45] nubae: it's far less interesting than that [18:45] eject the plasma, she's gonna blow [18:45] visualize fire [18:45] :-) [18:45] basically you focus the laser beam down until it blows everything apart [18:46] hey, that's always fun [18:46] and then I look to see how the atoms reform [18:46] into interesting molecules [18:46] well that does sound interesting the way u describe actually... [18:46] anyway, it's Defense space stuff [18:47] oh... against aliens... or illegal aliens? [18:47] (grin) [18:47] mexicans is freakin lasers? [18:47] I think the "threat" is more across the ocean to the east [18:48] I mean, west [18:48] Texas? [18:48] oh, west [18:48] * LaserJock is tired [18:48] oh, right, Texas? [18:48] 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] so yu moved east to help defending your country against a thread from the west ? [18:49] ogra: maybe he knows something we don't? [18:49] ogra: something like that ;-) [18:49] hi btw [18:49] iy might turn out to be effective though... could have some mind altering contingent [18:49] nubae: powerful lasers will definitely alter someone's mind [18:49] ogra: hi [18:49] good to see you back [18:49] it'll alter it right into a steaming pool of mush [18:50] ogra: sorta, my brain is fried [18:50] yeah, understandable [18:50] I drove for ~ 15hr/day for 4 days [18:50] case in point [18:50] heh... careful with those lasers ;-) [18:50] i heard that [18:50] so where are you based now ? boston ? [18:50] LaserJock: are you saying the Air Force couldn't figure out a faster way of traveling? [18:50] well, outside of boston [18:51] cool [18:51] ogra: actually, I work about 1 mile from Lexington [18:51] we can meet up if i'm in the lexington office [18:51] Boston is nice... I lived there for 3 years [18:51] mhall119|work: well, I don't officially work for the Air Force. I'm sure the cool people get better ways :-) [18:52] so I moved from Reno, NV to Boston but work for a company in Utah :-) [18:52] heh [18:52] the paperwork has been overwhelming [18:52] LaserJock, you are not by chance at that small lex. airforce base where mark uses to land ? [18:52] ogra: probably [18:52] u'll start using the term 'wicked' soon enough ;-) [18:52] funny :) [18:53] nubae: hehe, I've heard it a few times already [18:53] and u'll have to paaak the caaah in the yaaahd [18:53] LOL nubae [18:53] I really hope I don't sound like that when I'm done [18:53] nubae, in boaastn ? [18:54] * Lns greets all btw [18:56] 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] I'm still just trying to find the grocery store, etc. [18:58] 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] kind of related, though maybe a bit more dangerous in the long term ;) [19:47] highvoltage, LaserJock, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2009-August/011286.html some packaging training ;)
