| nigel_nb | got kicked out of my network for 2 hours, for no reason | 01:40 |

| FFEMTcJ | in | 01:44 |
| nigel_nb | okay thats bad | 01:44 |
| nigel_nb | really bad | 01:44 |
| FFEMTcJ | normally i work 24 hours on 48 off, but we can "trade days" with people sometimes, so im workin 48 today/tomorrow and 48 sat/sun cause i got two days off from other people workin for me | 01:45 |
| nigel_nb | what do u work as, if I may take the freedom to ask | 01:45 |
| FFEMTcJ | ff = fire fighter emt = emt, allthought now a paramedic | 01:45 |
| FFEMTcJ | i wish i could take some nyquil | 01:46 |
| nigel_nb | oh, that way | 01:46 |
| nigel_nb | at least you'll be sitting around doing noting for some time | 01:47 |
| FFEMTcJ | in theory | 01:47 |
| FFEMTcJ | i think we have run 6 calls so far | 01:47 |
| nigel_nb | oh oh | 01:47 |
| nigel_nb | but then every job has its own difficulties | 01:48 |
| nigel_nb | i gotta work only 8 hours, but I gotta be banging on my keyboard the whole time | 01:48 |
| FFEMTcJ | i just hope i can get some sleep tonight | 01:48 |
| nigel_nb | there's this thing | 01:48 |
| nigel_nb | u probably know | 01:48 |
| FFEMTcJ | and see, i spend more than 8 hours (as long as i can) on the keyboard at work | 01:48 |
| nigel_nb | the adrenaline rush that you get when you save someone or help someon | 01:49 |
| nigel_nb | that ought to keep you awake | 01:49 |
| FFEMTcJ | i love the rush.. but we run so much b.s. that doesnt get the rush | 01:49 |
| FFEMTcJ | id do 48 hours without sleep as long as im running real calls | 01:49 |
| FFEMTcJ | stubbed toes, or calling me because you cant sleep, when i was sleeping.. not so much | 01:49 |
| nigel_nb | oops | 01:50 |
| nigel_nb | u actually get those "calling me because I cant sleep" calls? | 01:50 |
| nigel_nb | isnt it illegal? | 01:50 |
| FFEMTcJ | nope | 01:50 |
| FFEMTcJ | you call we hall | 01:50 |
| nigel_nb | probably it might fall into suicidal ideation category | 01:50 |
| FFEMTcJ | thats the beauty of our current *free* heathcare system | 01:50 |
| nigel_nb | free healthcare? | 01:51 |
| FFEMTcJ | yup.. | 01:51 |
| nigel_nb | wait a min, you're not in US? | 01:51 |
| FFEMTcJ | in us | 01:51 |
| nigel_nb | US and free healthcare? | 01:51 |
| FFEMTcJ | a hospital cannot turn a pt away | 01:51 |
| nigel_nb | okay, I'm properly shocked | 01:51 |
| nigel_nb | ah, that way | 01:51 |
| FFEMTcJ | because they recieve federal money | 01:51 |
| FFEMTcJ | people go there to get refills on their Rx, and call us to get them there | 01:52 |
| nigel_nb | paramedics? | 01:53 |
| FFEMTcJ | uh huh | 01:53 |
| nigel_nb | to get people to hospital to refill medications? | 01:53 |
| FFEMTcJ | uh huh | 01:53 |
| FFEMTcJ | you call, we haul | 01:53 |
| nigel_nb | I can't find an appropriate word that wouldn't be against the CoC :P | 01:53 |
| FFEMTcJ | speaking of which.. i gota a call.. bbl | 01:53 |
| * pleia2 comes home with some takeout foods | 01:54 | |
| nigel_nb | wb pleia2 | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | thanks | 01:54 |
| nigel_nb | its 7:25 | 01:54 |
| nigel_nb | 5 mins to go | 01:54 |
| nigel_nb | I mean 0155 UTC | 01:55 |
| pleia2 | yep | 01:55 |
| nigel_nb | any news of martin? | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | nope | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | last I knew he was quite ill :( | 01:59 |
| nigel_nb | oh :( | 01:59 |
| nigel_nb | looks like all of us are taking turns | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | yep | 01:59 |
| nigel_nb | I guess I led the way :P | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | yeah thanks :) | 02:00 |
| pleia2 | ok, #ubuntu-meeting | 02:00 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: you joining us? | 02:00 |
| pleia2 | no vantrax either :( | 02:02 |
| nigel_nb | paultag: around? | 02:03 |
| nigel_nb | BiosElement: meeting? | 02:03 |
| FFEMTcJ | back | 02:05 |
| nigel_nb | FFEMTcJ: #ubuntu-meeting | 02:05 |
| nigel_nb | we've started | 02:05 |
| FFEMTcJ | yup | 02:05 |
| cprofitt | hey guys... | 02:33 |
| nigel_nb | yes | 02:33 |
| cprofitt | I have some questions about Bzr when you have a chance | 02:33 |
| nigel_nb | cprofitt: fire away, I'm not an expert, but since I'm writing the lesson, I have a good idea | 02:33 |
| cprofitt | will there be one Bzr entry for each class or one Bzr entry for our entire project? | 02:35 |
| nigel_nb | well, each class will have one entry | 02:35 |
| nigel_nb | I suspect it will get merged as we move on | 02:36 |
| cprofitt | ok... | 02:36 |
| cprofitt | I really have not worked with Bzr... | 02:36 |
| cprofitt | so just kind of curious | 02:36 |
| nigel_nb | I started learning with the lesson | 02:36 |
| nigel_nb | its easy | 02:37 |
| nigel_nb | I didn't know anything till I started the lesson, martin gave me a lesson | 02:37 |
| cprofitt | with the lesson? | 02:37 |
| nigel_nb | i mean on IRC | 02:38 |
| cprofitt | ah... | 02:38 |
| nigel_nb | a session, martin, BiosElement_, and mhall119 pitched in to help | 02:38 |
| cprofitt | we need to develop a 'lesson' that is in writing -- Moodle or otherwise for the future. | 02:38 |
| nigel_nb | I'm doing the introduction to bzr course | 02:38 |
| nigel_nb | almost done | 02:38 |
| nigel_nb | once I'm done, we can work together to get it too moodle | 02:39 |
| nigel_nb | I want to learn moodle too | 02:39 |
| cprofitt | nigel_nb: I can help with Moodle, but I want to develop a course | 02:39 |
| nigel_nb | on asciidoc? | 02:39 |
| cprofitt | I walked pleia2 and Martin through Moodle, but I do not think it was sufficient to really help | 02:39 |
| FFEMTcJ | just got another instructor | 02:40 |
| nigel_nb | oh, you want a lesson completed | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | I think having content is vital at this point | 02:40 |
| cprofitt | nice | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | without actually doing it, it's tricky to learn for me | 02:40 |
| nigel_nb | so that we can actually convert to moodle and everyone gets the idea? | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: yeah, that's what I need :) | 02:40 |
| cprofitt | yeah... | 02:40 |
| nigel_nb | how long are you both gonna be up? | 02:40 |
| cprofitt | and I hope to take a few of the courses and do that... and really develop a process | 02:40 |
| cprofitt | I will be on for another hour or two | 02:40 |
| cprofitt | I may not be glued to irssi though | 02:41 |
| nigel_nb | because I have only some 3 sections to complete | 02:41 |
| nigel_nb | I can finish it fast | 02:41 |
| nigel_nb | I just need someone here so that I can ask doubts | 02:41 |
| cprofitt | nigel_nb: I will not have the time to convert it -- so do not rush | 02:41 |
| cprofitt | but when you get it done... walk me through what you have and then I can start converting to Moodle | 02:41 |
| nigel_nb | cprofitt: before you convert, it needs to be reviewed | 02:41 |
| cprofitt | nigel_nb: I can always reconvert... | 02:42 |
| cprofitt | it would be good, unapproved or not, to do a dry run | 02:42 |
| nigel_nb | good point, to flush out the processes | 02:42 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2: I spoke with nhandler__ about the topic | 02:43 |
| nigel_nb | he says it could be done, but he'll check with the board and get back | 02:44 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: ok thanks :) | 02:45 |
| nigel_nb | who's indigo by the way? | 02:45 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt | 02:45 |
| nigel_nb | okay, thats a confusing ID | 02:46 |
| pleia2 | confused me for a while too, he doesn't sign his emails or put his name in the emails *cough* ;) | 02:46 |
| cprofitt | indigo is a left over from my days of working with the secret service on a case | 02:46 |
| cprofitt | I obsfucated my existence on the web | 02:46 |
| FFEMTcJ | i looked at cprofitt's wiki page too | 02:46 |
| * nigel_nb bows | 02:46 | |
| cprofitt | I thik I am singing my name now pleia2 | 02:47 |
| nigel_nb | yea, you did that on the last mail, which I replied | 02:47 |
| nigel_nb | I did wonder who it was | 02:47 |
| nigel_nb | no where else though | 02:48 |
| nigel_nb | oh and pleia2, gonna be around? | 02:48 |
| pleia2 | tonight? | 02:48 |
| nigel_nb | yea | 02:48 |
| pleia2 | doubtful, exhaustion is taking over again | 02:49 |
| * FFEMTcJ is thinking about trying to pass out | 02:49 | |
| nigel_nb | I need a quick update of what went wrong | 02:49 |
| nigel_nb | when u used the scripts that is | 02:49 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: not "the scripts" just asciidoc filename.txt on some | 02:50 |
| pleia2 | so you might want to run through and error check them all | 02:51 |
| nigel_nb | I did try that some time back and it did work | 02:51 |
| nigel_nb | must be something silly | 02:51 |
| nigel_nb | lemme check and get back to you pleia2 | 02:52 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2: hahaha | 02:53 |
| nigel_nb | spelling mistake in the template | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | ah :) | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | that'll do it | 02:53 |
| FFEMTcJ | oops | 02:54 |
| * pleia2 seeks rest now | 02:54 | |
| * nigel_nb grants | 02:55 | |
| nigel_nb | :P | 02:55 |
| pleia2 | :) | 02:55 |
| * nigel_nb has only 2 more sections to go | 02:56 | |
| nigel_nb | pleia2: if didn't see it yet, 2 guys from Indian loco have agreed to take classes :) | 14:22 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: I saw, that's great :) | 14:23 |
| nigel_nb | :) | 14:23 |
| nigel_nb | oh, by the way, I tried converted the asciidoc, looks like I need bioselement's help here | 14:25 |
| nigel_nb | its getting messed up, the width is not being controlled and "some" error | 14:25 |
| pleia2 | I think you need to cut off your line width at 80 characters | 14:29 |
| pleia2 | in the checkins it looks like it wasn't cut off at all | 14:30 |
| nigel_nb | It should be automatic | 14:39 |
| nigel_nb | if its manual, doesnt make sense, there should be a command that I could add | 14:39 |
| pleia2 | vim has commands for easy line wrapping | 15:08 |
| nigel_nb | no i mean, something with asciidoc, when converting | 15:11 |
| mhall119 | has anyone seen the good doctor? | 17:59 |
| pleia2 | looks like he's still on the other side of the pond | 18:02 |
| mhall119 | ok, thanks | 18:02 |
| mhall119 | I at least got a legitimate opportunity to use a Dr. Who line | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | :) | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | he's been ill too, so between traveling, family and being sick, I doubt we'll see him much until he returns | 18:03 |
| mhall119 | ah, ok | 18:04 |
| mhall119 | that's okay, I see that zareason is doing the case badges, so I don't have to mooch of the Mass. team | 18:04 |
| * pleia2 nods | 18:04 | |
| FFEMTcJ | mhall119: whatcha gonna teach for user days? ;-) | 18:15 |
| mhall119 | who what? | 18:16 |
| mhall119 | what'd I just get volunteered for? | 18:16 |
| FFEMTcJ | Teaching a 1 hour course for user days... | 18:16 |
| FFEMTcJ | hey.. do yall need help with week? | 18:16 |
| mhall119 | FFEMTcJ: we're good for now | 18:18 |
| mhall119 | got all the new computers into the shop | 18:18 |
| FFEMTcJ | cool | 18:18 |
| * FFEMTcJ is sick anyway.. but if you needed help.. i would've | 18:19 | |
| mhall119 | we're going to have an install-fest sometime soonish though to get Ubuntu on all of them | 18:19 |
| mhall119 | I know | 18:19 |
| FFEMTcJ | sweet | 18:19 |
| FFEMTcJ | def want to be there | 18:19 |
| mhall119 | yeah, there will be food again | 18:19 |
| FFEMTcJ | i really wish i wasnt stuck at work as bad as im feeling.. | 18:19 |
| FFEMTcJ | plain ubuntu or? | 18:19 |
| mhall119 | FFEMTcJ: it's no problem, my parents actually came over and helped me, it wasn't bad | 18:19 |
| FFEMTcJ | cool | 18:19 |
| mhall119 | FFEMTcJ: stock Ubuntu on these, they're going to high school seniors who are facing entering college without a computer | 18:20 |
| FFEMTcJ | gotcha | 18:20 |
| FFEMTcJ | any thought on when? | 18:20 |
| FFEMTcJ | (this year/next year) | 18:21 |
| mhall119 | not yet | 18:21 |
| mhall119 | we're running out of "this year" time | 18:21 |
| FFEMTcJ | right | 18:21 |
| mhall119 | but we might just have a handful of people over one saturday | 18:21 |
| mhall119 | instead of planning a large event again | 18:21 |
| FFEMTcJ | i think thatd be better and more affordable | 18:21 |
| mhall119 | yeah | 18:22 |
| mhall119 | and less taxing on my sanity | 18:22 |
| FFEMTcJ | hehe | 18:22 |
| Pendulum | mhall119: and less taxing on Michelle's baking/cooking energy? | 18:23 |
| FFEMTcJ | i think she enjoyed all that cookinge | 18:23 |
| FFEMTcJ | cooking | 18:23 |
| mhall119 | Pendulum: it would be, except she'll cook enough to feed an army anyway | 18:23 |
| mhall119 | we tend to have 5 pounds of food per person, I think | 18:23 |
| Pendulum | I'm not sure I eat that much food in a week | 18:24 |
| mhall119 | she needs to finish letting her arm heal though, before she does that | 18:24 |
| FFEMTcJ | ya | 18:24 |
| * FFEMTcJ is thinking about asking to take a nap | 18:25 | |
| mhall119 | at work already? | 18:26 |
| mhall119 | FFEMTcJ: to answer your question from yesterday, I've never touched Ruby or Rails, sorry | 18:28 |
| FFEMTcJ | since 730 yesterday mornin | 18:28 |
| FFEMTcJ | gotcha | 18:28 |
| FFEMTcJ | I coundnt find the theme in bzr | 18:28 |
| Pendulum | FFEMTcJ: you have to ask to nap? when I was doing EMS they didn't care as long as we could get up quickly if a call came in | 18:28 |
| FFEMTcJ | Pendulum: technically its against SOP to sleep prior to 2000, however the Lt is allowed to deviate from that rule.. i was in charge yesterday, but not today... | 18:29 |
| Pendulum | ah | 18:29 |
| FFEMTcJ | bbiab.. have a teleconference i have to go be a part of | 18:29 |
| _marx_ | pleia2: now appropriate time to mail loco list re: instructors, participants for UUD? | 18:51 |
| pleia2 | _marx_: yeah, we can move forward with that | 18:51 |
| _marx_ | good | 18:52 |
| pleia2 | this is the email Nigel sent out to his loco team: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-in/2009-December/006707.html | 18:52 |
| pleia2 | so if someone wants to take/adapt that for loco-contacts, that'd be cool | 18:52 |
| _marx_ | that was my understanding from reading the meeting log this am, just wanted to double check | 19:01 |
| * FFEMTcJ is back | 19:01 | |
| === mhall1191 is now known as mhall119 | ||
| mhall119 | pleia2: I'm trying to think of something to do for ubuntu user days | 22:11 |
| mhall119 | I was thinking maybe a GPG+Evolution session, but I'm not sure that's beginner-level enough. FFEMTcJ said I should get your opinion | 22:12 |
| pleia2 | mhall119: I think that's fine | 22:58 |
| mhall119 | okay, I'll start thinking about what to do for that | 22:59 |
| pleia2 | I think we need to strike a balance between "beginner enough to use irc, but not too advanced as to lose people" | 22:59 |
| mhall119 | I think I can get the concepts and the practice across, without having to delve into the theory of GPG and cryptography | 23:00 |
| _marx_ | nc loco has had 4 replies to UUD post; not counting akgraner 's three said IRC isn't beginner-ish enough | 23:16 |
| akgraner | _marx_, I was surprised by those responses... did you understand my response... | 23:17 |
| akgraner | but glad to know people feel that way about IRC though... | 23:18 |
| _marx_ | yes, and good point on brainstorm | 23:18 |
| * _marx_ was surprised too, to me IRC isn't _that difficult | 23:19 | |
| * _marx_ thinks in publicizing UUD there should be an emphasis on using webchat.freenode.net and possibly a session on IRC usage | 23:22 | |
| FFEMTcJ | _marx_: or use lernid! | 23:56 |
| * _marx_ disagrees | 23:57 | |
| _marx_ | that would require a beginner-ish person to learn to use a Launchpad personal package archive | 23:58 |
| _marx_ | maybe if lernid is in the next release | 23:58 |
| mhall119 | you could make it a downloadable .deb | 23:59 |
