MarkDudeSame with me, I thought ground cherries was better than cape00:01
MarkDudeHow about a strawberry guava tree, I wont get any fruit for at least a few years00:02
JanCsomething similar to the ground cherries is known as "jodenkers" ("jews cherry") here, go figure  ;)00:04
JanChttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis_alkekengi in English00:04
MarkDudeHorrible name & it can cause health problem, hmm.00:07
MarkDudetomato does have some not friendly relatives00:07
JanCthe name is from some type of hat jews would traditionally wear here in Europe at some period in history, which resembled those "lampions"00:08
MarkDudeThats why I was reluctant with these, til I saw how it was used for pies & other stuff, safley even00:08
JanCtomatoes & potatoes aren't entirely harmless on their own of course  ;)00:09
MarkDudeok, similar to how we have some squash here that are called turbans00:09
MarkDudepotatoes eyes are pretty harful if you eat them00:10
JanCwell, tomatoes are mostly okay, but uncooked potatoes are somewhat poisonous00:10
MarkDudeThe shoots have some nasty green chemical that can make you sick,00:10
akgranerThe new issue of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue18300:11
JanCakgraner: spammer!  ;-)00:12
akgraner:-P00:12
JanCbut seriously, thanks to you and the rest of the team  :-)00:13
akgraneryou're welcome :-)00:13
elkyI guess I should close off voting now00:14
elkyHah, 3 votes in the past half hour.00:14
elkySome people are cutting it really close00:15
akgranerit is aftwe 2400UTC isn't it :-)00:15
akgranerafter even00:15
MarkDudeI really enjoy reading about what some of the folks do in the Ubuntu Community00:15
elkyit is, yes00:15
* elky shells in and updates the php00:15
JanCit's after 00h UTC indeed00:16
akgranerelky, thanks! - I talked to Jono he will be doing the drawing at 10amPST - which I believe is 7pm UTC00:16
elkyakgraner, does he know how yet?00:17
elkyakgraner, i mean, has he organised a comically large top hat or something?00:17
akgranerelky, dunno about that  - - but when I asked if he was all ready for Monday he said he was00:17
elkyCool. I'm just hoping he's not wanting an app :P00:18
* MarkDude has visions of Jono pulling winners out of a skull from an 80's heavy metal album00:18
MarkDudeHe probably has a few to choose from00:18
akgranerelky,  I am emailing him in just a few so I'll double check :-)00:19
JanCMarkDude: or a rotting corpse of a former UK prime minister?  ;)00:19
MarkDudeknowing Jono - you never know00:19
* JanC thinks about some famous metal album cover that got forbidden in the UK :P00:19
JanC(that prime minister was in function back in the 1980s)00:20
MarkDude:)00:20
MarkDudetea, biscuits & heavy metal http://www.flickr.com/photos/gidgetkitchen/4383207150/00:21
MarkDudeJono is a good subject for filler slides, its safer than some choices00:22
nigelbelky: can we the total votes thing now?00:22
elkycan you wait until i finish closing it off?00:23
nigelbyep :P00:24
nigelb:)00:24
elkyhttp://elkbuntu.net/ubuntuwomen/result.php00:25
nhandlerelky: It might be nice to sort the table by the number of votes00:29
elkynhandler, yeah, i'll array them in a bit00:29
nhandler:)00:29
elkyhttp://elkbuntu.net/ubuntuwomen/result.phps fwiw00:30
* elky really is out of touch with coding :(00:30
elky(index.phps and token.phps also now exist)00:31
elkyand i really should check that i put a dbconn in before doing that...00:32
* elky goes and changes passwords00:32
nigelblol00:32
nigelb'Could not connect to the database. No pony for you' :p00:33
nigelbelky: just order the database query, should turn up right :)00:33
elkynigelb, uh?00:34
akgranerbut we are going to formally announce both winners tomorrow right?00:34
nigelbelky: oh no, misread code.  needs-more-reading00:35
akgranerelky, I mean we are going to be blogging or tweeting one but not the other before tomorrow are we?00:36
elkyno point in having jono do it otherwise, really00:37
elkytatica1 is in -women if you want to tell her, but she's going to have to embargo it00:37
nigelbelky: I guess you could just color the top entry ;) I'm too lazy to figure out how to sort ;)00:40
nigelbtop = winning00:40
elkynigelb, i can put it in an array and sort the array00:42
elkyit's just, i didn't00:42
elkymost of this was done after work in a week I wasn't leaving work until after 7pm00:42
nigelbelky: ask for help then :)00:42
elkynigelb, i don't need help.00:42
* nigelb is a bit rusty but worked on a few projects :)00:42
elkyi need phpmyadmin to do what i tell it00:43
nigelbelky: oh well, I could have done parts of it when you didn't have time :)00:43
elkyits now refusing to change password?00:46
nigelbphpmyadmin?00:47
elkyi'd guess so00:47
nigelbtry changing with root then00:47
elkyi am logged in to phpmyadmin as root00:47
nigelbnow, thats really odd00:48
elkybut no matter how many times i change the password, it fails to connect00:48
nigelbchanged the password on the page?00:48
elkyof course00:48
nigelbit it hosted by you or somewhere else? (because hosts tend to limit power to phpmyadmin)00:49
elkydreamhost. it's the same one i, you k now, set it up on00:49
nigelbI've faced this issue, but I dont remember what I did00:50
nigelbis there a way outside of phpmyadim to change the database password?00:50
nigelbif so, try that00:50
elkyi've changed it to the root password for now00:51
elkyit feels icky :(00:51
nigelba bit dangerous and highly unrecommended00:51
elkynigelb, back off.00:52
nigelbokay okay00:52
nigelbsorry :(00:52
elkyit's only a temporary measure, just to stop people seeing that even less secure error00:54
nigelb:)00:54
nigelbI'm going to laze the whole day in a resort with teammates, so catch y'all later :)00:55
JanCelky: asking for an embargo in a logged channel?  ☺00:55
elkyJanC, a logged channel is a little diffrerent to plastered across 3 social networks and goodness only knows how many planets00:56
elkyi just don't think setting the blogosphere awash right now is terribly useful00:57
elkythere01:20
elkyI kinda get the feeling that there were some folks pushing the voting fairly heavily in certain loco groups01:22
elky*cough*fabian*cough*01:23
IdleOneelky: voting on what?01:24
elkythe story comp01:24
IdleOneohhh01:24
IdleOnewell fabian is a good pusher :)01:25
elkyhe is, yeah01:25
IdleOneerrr that sounds bad01:25
elkyim just noting the apparent heritage of the top stories ;)01:25
akgranerhey all jono will be announcing the two winners of the Ubuntu International Women's Day Competition tomorrow - watch live at http://tinyurl.com/ykxqerb05:53

pleia2should just be a copy paste job19:16
pleia2I can work on that this evening19:16
pleia2are you going to announce the winners on the list? I was on a conference call during the announcement so I don't even know (aside from tatica1)19:16
akgranerI am about put out a blog post on the winners... then sent to the list :-)19:17
pleia2great :)19:17
akgranerbut I am torn if I should put the whole stories on the announcement to the list or just point to the wiki's???  suggestions?19:17
pleia2I'd put the stories in the announcement19:18
akgranerok can do - I'll write it up so it can sure as an announcement on the Fridge as well19:19
akgranerserve even19:19
akgranergotta run snag the kids for a dentist appt - but I'll get them out as soon as I get back unless someone else wants to do that right quick?19:25
pleia2ok, we have veeeery basic: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/InternationalWomensDay (we should probably flesh it out, add links back to blog entries maybe)21:26
pleia2then we have: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/InternationalWomensDay/HowIDiscoveredUbuntu which I only started working on, we actually want ALL the stories here, but I have to work so I'll get to finishing it later tonight unless somoene else wants to jump in21:27
elkyso... for those of us who were asleep until about 10 minutes ago?21:28
pleia2hm?21:36
pleia2we're putting them up on the wiki for long term storage21:37
akgranerelky - The winners are: Elvira Martinez and Karen Y. Perez with honorable mention going to Jen Phillips as well21:37
maco2its like 930am in elkyland i think, so asleep til 10 minutes ago makes sense...21:37
pleia2maco2: sure, I just don't understand the question21:37
pleia2what is for people who were asleep?21:37
akgraneralso here is the link to the videocast - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon21:38

czajkowskiit's taken 2 weeks due to not having net21:52
czajkowskiwhich drove me slightly bonkers21:52
czajkowskiso now for cv21:52
* maco2 goes to listen/watch to jono's ustream thingy22:08
maco2(since when is text insufficient for communication?)22:08
maco2(i can read text much faster than i can listen to someone talk)22:09
pleia2akgraner will announce it on the list too, along with the winning stories22:09
pleia2as text :)22:09
maco2oooh silent jono. that's a change. that's like me being silent (outside of the meetinghouse)22:09
maco2though his lips are moving...hmm22:09
czajkowskimaco2: you speak the fastest22:10
maco2czajkowski: i know someone that speaks faster and more than me!22:10
maco2czajkowski: and he's had 5 fewer years of practice!22:10
maco2so is jono's video supposed to be a silent film, or is flash being stupid on my laptop?22:11
pleia2flash is being stupid on your laptop22:11
pleia2:(22:11
maco2ok22:11
maco2reason to dislike ustream and prefer regular old .mov or .avi or .mp4:  no flash!22:12
maco2though this reminds me i need to listen to popey's podcast22:12
maco2my miro is all backed up22:12
maco2hmm why does ustream require flash in order to display a list of episodes? this seems gratuitous22:14
maco2PAtGUoF22:14
maco2People Against the Gratuitous Use of Flash22:15
pleia2I actually liked the introduction of flash for videos, no more messing around with installing browser plugins for video22:15
maco2ooh he has the "i'm sorry mr gates, i cant do that" LJ sticker22:15
maco2pleia2: i tend to just plain not use the browser for video22:16
maco2i wget the file and open it in totem or dragon (depending on gnome or kde)22:16
pleia2maco2: well sure, but then you're downloading the content and that's STEALING! or somesuch ;)22:16
maco2your browser has to download it to play it anyway22:16
maco2huh. interesting definition of "random"22:28
pleia2yeah, there seems to have been some kind of miscommunication regarding the additional selection22:29
hypa7iasigh22:37
nhandlerpleia2: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/199322:42
pleia2nhandler: thank you! :)22:42
