[14:05] <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
[14:08] <nigel_nb> Pendulum: so you wont be able to record too?
[14:08] <Pendulum> no :(
[14:10]  * nigel_nb bangs his head on the keyboard
[14:11] <Pendulum> there was swearing when this was discovered
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <nigel_nb> Pendulum: do u know if pleia2 has a working mic (my last option) :(
[14:13] <Pendulum> dunno
[14:14] <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)
[14:18] <cjohnston> mornin
[14:21] <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 :)
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <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 :)
[14:25] <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 .."
[14:29] <nigel_nb> _marx_: I still haven't gotten the files from ubuntuone :(
[14:35] <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
[14:36] <nigel_nb> great :)
[14:36] <nigel_nb> just give me a shout when you're done and I'll update the wiki pages too :) :)
[14:40] <nigel_nb> cjohnston: I have something close to a bad news for you
[14:41] <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
[14:52] <Pendulum> pleia2: ping?
[15:31] <_marx_> nigel_nb: I've repeated the steps on ubuntuone
[15:31] <nigel_nb> checking again
[15:32] <nigel_nb> I'm supposed to check shared with me right?
[15:33] <_marx_> afaik yes
[15:35] <nigel_nb> _marx_: nothing in shared with me :(
[15:35] <_marx_> hum
[15:36] <nigel_nb> well, then its not working, bah, bug

[15:44]  * _marx_ needs to learn to type
[22:06] <Vantrax> hi all, sorry im not around much atm, just in the middle of moving house and getting my daughter started in daycare
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <Vantrax> lol, i can imagine
[22:26] <doctormo> Hey Vantrax, hope your having a good new year.
[22:27] <Vantrax> yeah,  not bad so far, but no internet sucks
[22:28] <doctormo> It would drive me to start living at my community center.
[22:32] <Vantrax> i keep going into work to use the internet while im on holidays:P
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <Vantrax> lol
[22:37] <Vantrax> http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/12/26/chinese-copy-cat-pirates-launch-ubuntu-that-looks-just-like-windows-xp/
[22:40] <doctormo> Vantrax: That's not exactly piracy... it's more like copyright infringment through a dirivitive work.
[22:41] <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.
[22:44] <_marx_> saw that too and wondered how a familiar looking interface could help new users
[22:49]  * _marx_ was a windows user for a year or so and has 10 minutes on mac
[22:50] <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.
[22:52] <_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.
[22:53] <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.
[22:54] <_marx_> exactly, and ask questions from the person making the introduction
