| Pendulum | nigel_nb: you're about to hate me, but my mic is broken :( (discovered yesterday when I tried to do the voice bits of those screencasts) | 14:05 |
| nigel_nb | Pendulum: hahaha | 14:05 |
| nigel_nb | Pendulum: so you wont be able to record too? | 14:08 |
| Pendulum | no :( | 14:08 |
| * nigel_nb bangs his head on the keyboard | 14:10 | |
| Pendulum | there was swearing when this was discovered | 14:11 |
| Pendulum | and then I took the anger out on the cockroach infestation in my flat | 14:12 |
| nigel_nb | now I'm lost wondering whom to ask | 14:12 |
| nigel_nb | Pendulum: do u know if pleia2 has a working mic (my last option) :( | 14:13 |
| Pendulum | dunno | 14:13 |
| Pendulum | you could also do them yourself (or find a non-female-voiced person since at this point it's finding someone that seems to be the problem) | 14:14 |
| pleia2 | not a good one | 14:14 |
| pleia2 | (and I don't really have time for it anyway) | 14:14 |
| cjohnston | mornin | 14:18 |
| nigel_nb | Pendulum: indian accent is not really ideal for a screencast | 14:21 |
| * popey is happy to voice over :) | 14:21 | |
| popey | if you dont mind English Male | 14:21 |
| nigel_nb | i dont :) | 14:21 |
| nigel_nb | great :) | 14:21 |
| popey | i will not be offended if not chosen though :) | 14:22 |
| nigel_nb | popey: its the same one we talked sometime back | 14:22 |
| nigel_nb | using IRC with pidgin and Webchat | 14:22 |
| popey | i do have decent recording equipment though | 14:22 |
| Pendulum | popey: I think you've likely now got the job :P | 14:22 |
| popey | heh | 14:22 |
| nigel_nb | Pendulum: hehe | 14:22 |
| nigel_nb | popey: yep, you got the job. Now, the only question is how I get the videos to you (I think you may have one of them already) | 14:23 |
| popey | i thought I had two? | 14:23 |
| popey | what are the names, I'll look for them | 14:23 |
| nigel_nb | IRCwithWeb and IRCwithPidgin | 14:24 |
| popey | ta | 14:24 |
| nigel_nb | popey: you can voice over them, mix them, and add to screencasts team yourself if u want to | 14:24 |
| popey | cool | 14:24 |
| nigel_nb | I just want it up and be able to share it :) | 14:24 |
| === mhall1191work is now known as mhall119|work | ||
| nigel_nb | the idea is when we blog about user days, we can add to the posts " If you dont know how to use IRC, see these videos .." | 14:25 |
| === akgraner` is now known as akgraner | ||
| nigel_nb | _marx_: I still haven't gotten the files from ubuntuone :( | 14:29 |
| nigel_nb | popey: when a video is added to the screencast team, is it okay to post in on our blogs? | 14:35 |
| popey | sure | 14:35 |
| nigel_nb | great :) | 14:36 |
| nigel_nb | just give me a shout when you're done and I'll update the wiki pages too :) :) | 14:36 |
| nigel_nb | cjohnston: I have something close to a bad news for you | 14:40 |
| cjohnston | uh oh | 14:41 |
| nigel_nb | cjohnston: I *may* need to go home on a family emergency on the week of Ubuntu User Day, I'll make sure that you have the entire content of my session so that anyone can lead it | 14:41 |
| cjohnston | ok | 14:41 |
| Pendulum | pleia2: ping? | 14:52 |

| Vantrax | hi all, sorry im not around much atm, just in the middle of moving house and getting my daughter started in daycare | 22:06 |
| mhall119|work | Vantrax: first year in daycare? | 22:07 |
| Vantrax | yeah, shes only 4 months old | 22:07 |
| mhall119|work | have fun | 22:07 |
| mhall119|work | sometime in the next 5 days, everyone in your house is going to be sick | 22:07 |
| mhall119|work | just warning you | 22:07 |
| Vantrax | yeah... she doesnt like it | 22:07 |
| Vantrax | I dont even have internet at home yet >.< | 22:08 |
| Vantrax | damn phone company is screwing around | 22:08 |
| mhall119|work | find yourself a good book then | 22:08 |
| Vantrax | yeah, been reading Robert Jordan | 22:08 |
| mhall119|work | daycares and schools are like shock and awe for the immune system | 22:08 |
| Vantrax | lol, i can imagine | 22:09 |
| doctormo | Hey Vantrax, hope your having a good new year. | 22:26 |
| Vantrax | yeah, not bad so far, but no internet sucks | 22:27 |
| doctormo | It would drive me to start living at my community center. | 22:28 |
| Vantrax | i keep going into work to use the internet while im on holidays:P | 22:32 |
| doctormo | I remember doing that back int he day | 22:33 |
| doctormo | Now I just make aragements with neighbours, that's why local community is still important... shared wifi | 22:33 |
| Vantrax | lol | 22:34 |
| Vantrax | http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/12/26/chinese-copy-cat-pirates-launch-ubuntu-that-looks-just-like-windows-xp/ | 22:37 |
| doctormo | Vantrax: That's not exactly piracy... it's more like copyright infringment through a dirivitive work. | 22:40 |
| Vantrax | funny tho | 22:41 |
| doctormo | Sure | 22:41 |
| doctormo | Interesting too, the guile of people and also the amount of familarity we have to overcome in our teaching. | 22:41 |
| _marx_ | saw that too and wondered how a familiar looking interface could help new users | 22:44 |
| * _marx_ was a windows user for a year or so and has 10 minutes on mac | 22:49 | |
| doctormo | _marx_: It can't, it's mostly about confusing the brand (trademark problems) and making people believe they are getting one thing, when they are really getting another. | 22:50 |
| _marx_ | doctormo: I think you are correct: it's important for new users to "see" a difference immediately | 22:52 |
| _marx_ | prepares them for more differences to come | 22:52 |
| doctormo | This is why I think that making things blue with a start button is just the wrong way to go. | 22:52 |
| doctormo | I've had a lot of positive reactions from new interfaces, it makes people believe that what they're getting is different and they brace for niggles. | 22:53 |
| _marx_ | exactly, and ask questions from the person making the introduction | 22:54 |
