| MarkDude | Same with me, I thought ground cherries was better than cape | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| MarkDude | How about a strawberry guava tree, I wont get any fruit for at least a few years | 00:02 |
| JanC | something similar to the ground cherries is known as "jodenkers" ("jews cherry") here, go figure ;) | 00:04 |
| JanC | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis_alkekengi in English | 00:04 |
| MarkDude | Horrible name & it can cause health problem, hmm. | 00:07 |
| MarkDude | tomato does have some not friendly relatives | 00:07 |
| JanC | the 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 |
| MarkDude | Thats why I was reluctant with these, til I saw how it was used for pies & other stuff, safley even | 00:08 |
| JanC | tomatoes & potatoes aren't entirely harmless on their own of course ;) | 00:09 |
| MarkDude | ok, similar to how we have some squash here that are called turbans | 00:09 |
| MarkDude | potatoes eyes are pretty harful if you eat them | 00:10 |
| JanC | well, tomatoes are mostly okay, but uncooked potatoes are somewhat poisonous | 00:10 |
| MarkDude | The shoots have some nasty green chemical that can make you sick, | 00:10 |
| akgraner | The new issue of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue183 | 00:11 |
| JanC | akgraner: spammer! ;-) | 00:12 |
| akgraner | :-P | 00:12 |
| JanC | but seriously, thanks to you and the rest of the team :-) | 00:13 |
| akgraner | you're welcome :-) | 00:13 |
| elky | I guess I should close off voting now | 00:14 |
| elky | Hah, 3 votes in the past half hour. | 00:14 |
| elky | Some people are cutting it really close | 00:15 |
| akgraner | it is aftwe 2400UTC isn't it :-) | 00:15 |
| akgraner | after even | 00:15 |
| MarkDude | I really enjoy reading about what some of the folks do in the Ubuntu Community | 00:15 |
| elky | it is, yes | 00:15 |
| * elky shells in and updates the php | 00:15 | |
| JanC | it's after 00h UTC indeed | 00:16 |
| akgraner | elky, thanks! - I talked to Jono he will be doing the drawing at 10amPST - which I believe is 7pm UTC | 00:16 |
| elky | akgraner, does he know how yet? | 00:17 |
| elky | akgraner, i mean, has he organised a comically large top hat or something? | 00:17 |
| akgraner | elky, dunno about that - - but when I asked if he was all ready for Monday he said he was | 00:17 |
| elky | Cool. I'm just hoping he's not wanting an app :P | 00:18 |
| * MarkDude has visions of Jono pulling winners out of a skull from an 80's heavy metal album | 00:18 | |
| MarkDude | He probably has a few to choose from | 00:18 |
| akgraner | elky, I am emailing him in just a few so I'll double check :-) | 00:19 |
| JanC | MarkDude: or a rotting corpse of a former UK prime minister? ;) | 00:19 |
| MarkDude | knowing Jono - you never know | 00:19 |
| * JanC thinks about some famous metal album cover that got forbidden in the UK :P | 00:19 | |
| JanC | (that prime minister was in function back in the 1980s) | 00:20 |
| MarkDude | :) | 00:20 |
| MarkDude | tea, biscuits & heavy metal http://www.flickr.com/photos/gidgetkitchen/4383207150/ | 00:21 |
| MarkDude | Jono is a good subject for filler slides, its safer than some choices | 00:22 |
| nigelb | elky: can we the total votes thing now? | 00:22 |
| elky | can you wait until i finish closing it off? | 00:23 |
| nigelb | yep :P | 00:24 |
| nigelb | :) | 00:24 |
| elky | http://elkbuntu.net/ubuntuwomen/result.php | 00:25 |
| nhandler | elky: It might be nice to sort the table by the number of votes | 00:29 |
| elky | nhandler, yeah, i'll array them in a bit | 00:29 |
| nhandler | :) | 00:29 |
| elky | http://elkbuntu.net/ubuntuwomen/result.phps fwiw | 00:30 |
| * elky really is out of touch with coding :( | 00:30 | |
| elky | (index.phps and token.phps also now exist) | 00:31 |
| elky | and i really should check that i put a dbconn in before doing that... | 00:32 |
| * elky goes and changes passwords | 00:32 | |
| nigelb | lol | 00:32 |
| nigelb | 'Could not connect to the database. No pony for you' :p | 00:33 |
| nigelb | elky: just order the database query, should turn up right :) | 00:33 |
| elky | nigelb, uh? | 00:34 |
| akgraner | but we are going to formally announce both winners tomorrow right? | 00:34 |
| nigelb | elky: oh no, misread code. needs-more-reading | 00:35 |
| akgraner | elky, I mean we are going to be blogging or tweeting one but not the other before tomorrow are we? | 00:36 |
| elky | no point in having jono do it otherwise, really | 00:37 |
| elky | tatica1 is in -women if you want to tell her, but she's going to have to embargo it | 00:37 |
| nigelb | elky: I guess you could just color the top entry ;) I'm too lazy to figure out how to sort ;) | 00:40 |
| nigelb | top = winning | 00:40 |
| elky | nigelb, i can put it in an array and sort the array | 00:42 |
| elky | it's just, i didn't | 00:42 |
| elky | most of this was done after work in a week I wasn't leaving work until after 7pm | 00:42 |
| nigelb | elky: ask for help then :) | 00:42 |
| elky | nigelb, i don't need help. | 00:42 |
| * nigelb is a bit rusty but worked on a few projects :) | 00:42 | |
| elky | i need phpmyadmin to do what i tell it | 00:43 |
| nigelb | elky: oh well, I could have done parts of it when you didn't have time :) | 00:43 |
| elky | its now refusing to change password? | 00:46 |
| nigelb | phpmyadmin? | 00:47 |
| elky | i'd guess so | 00:47 |
| nigelb | try changing with root then | 00:47 |
| elky | i am logged in to phpmyadmin as root | 00:47 |
| nigelb | now, thats really odd | 00:48 |
| elky | but no matter how many times i change the password, it fails to connect | 00:48 |
| nigelb | changed the password on the page? | 00:48 |
| elky | of course | 00:48 |
| nigelb | it it hosted by you or somewhere else? (because hosts tend to limit power to phpmyadmin) | 00:49 |
| elky | dreamhost. it's the same one i, you k now, set it up on | 00:49 |
| nigelb | I've faced this issue, but I dont remember what I did | 00:50 |
| nigelb | is there a way outside of phpmyadim to change the database password? | 00:50 |
| nigelb | if so, try that | 00:50 |
| elky | i've changed it to the root password for now | 00:51 |
| elky | it feels icky :( | 00:51 |
| nigelb | a bit dangerous and highly unrecommended | 00:51 |
| elky | nigelb, back off. | 00:52 |
| nigelb | okay okay | 00:52 |
| nigelb | sorry :( | 00:52 |
| elky | it's only a temporary measure, just to stop people seeing that even less secure error | 00:54 |
| nigelb | :) | 00:54 |
| nigelb | I'm going to laze the whole day in a resort with teammates, so catch y'all later :) | 00:55 |
| JanC | elky: asking for an embargo in a logged channel? ☺ | 00:55 |
| elky | JanC, a logged channel is a little diffrerent to plastered across 3 social networks and goodness only knows how many planets | 00:56 |
| elky | i just don't think setting the blogosphere awash right now is terribly useful | 00:57 |
| elky | there | 01:20 |
| elky | I kinda get the feeling that there were some folks pushing the voting fairly heavily in certain loco groups | 01:22 |
| elky | *cough*fabian*cough* | 01:23 |
| IdleOne | elky: voting on what? | 01:24 |
| elky | the story comp | 01:24 |
| IdleOne | ohhh | 01:24 |
| IdleOne | well fabian is a good pusher :) | 01:25 |
| elky | he is, yeah | 01:25 |
| IdleOne | errr that sounds bad | 01:25 |
| elky | im just noting the apparent heritage of the top stories ;) | 01:25 |
| akgraner | hey all jono will be announcing the two winners of the Ubuntu International Women's Day Competition tomorrow - watch live at http://tinyurl.com/ykxqerb | 05:53 |
| elky | akgraner, someone really needs to tell him that we kinda have a newer logo than that, too. | 05:55 |
| dholbach | good morning | 06:29 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 08:01 |

| czajkowski | http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon | 18:09 |
| czajkowski | congtats tactil | 18:09 |
| akgraner | elky, pleia2 can you all get together about getting the stories onto the website?? please :-) | 19:14 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: on the wiki? | 19:15 |
| akgraner | yeah that's what I meant | 19:15 |
| akgraner | wiki webpages - yadda yadda :-) | 19:15 |
| pleia2 | should just be a copy paste job | 19:16 |
| pleia2 | I can work on that this evening | 19:16 |
| pleia2 | are 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 |
| akgraner | I am about put out a blog post on the winners... then sent to the list :-) | 19:17 |
| pleia2 | great :) | 19:17 |
| akgraner | but 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 |
| pleia2 | I'd put the stories in the announcement | 19:18 |
| akgraner | ok can do - I'll write it up so it can sure as an announcement on the Fridge as well | 19:19 |
| akgraner | serve even | 19:19 |
| akgraner | gotta 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 |
| pleia2 | ok, 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 |
| pleia2 | then 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 in | 21:27 |
| elky | so... for those of us who were asleep until about 10 minutes ago? | 21:28 |
| pleia2 | hm? | 21:36 |
| pleia2 | we're putting them up on the wiki for long term storage | 21:37 |
| akgraner | elky - The winners are: Elvira Martinez and Karen Y. Perez with honorable mention going to Jen Phillips as well | 21:37 |
| maco2 | its like 930am in elkyland i think, so asleep til 10 minutes ago makes sense... | 21:37 |
| pleia2 | maco2: sure, I just don't understand the question | 21:37 |
| pleia2 | what is for people who were asleep? | 21:37 |
| akgraner | also here is the link to the videocast - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon | 21:38 |
| elky | pleia2, It meant I wasn't awake at 5am ;) | 21:44 |
| pleia2 | elky: ah, yeah, I had just woken up and was on a conference call :\ | 21:45 |
| akgraner | bbiab today is akgraner's taxi service - taking becca to wrestling practice :-) | 21:46 |
| AlanBell | I have a becca too | 21:47 |
| AlanBell | she doesn't do wrestling though | 21:47 |
| czajkowski | inbox 0 :D | 21:51 |
| czajkowski | <---------very happy | 21:51 |
| pleia2 | wanna do mine next? :) | 21:51 |
| MichelleQ | mine third? | 21:52 |
| czajkowski | it's taken 2 weeks due to not having net | 21:52 |
| czajkowski | which drove me slightly bonkers | 21:52 |
| czajkowski | so now for cv | 21:52 |
| * maco2 goes to listen/watch to jono's ustream thingy | 22:08 | |
| 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 |
| pleia2 | akgraner will announce it on the list too, along with the winning stories | 22:09 |
| pleia2 | as text :) | 22:09 |
| maco2 | oooh silent jono. that's a change. that's like me being silent (outside of the meetinghouse) | 22:09 |
| maco2 | though his lips are moving...hmm | 22:09 |
| czajkowski | maco2: you speak the fastest | 22:10 |
| maco2 | czajkowski: i know someone that speaks faster and more than me! | 22:10 |
| maco2 | czajkowski: and he's had 5 fewer years of practice! | 22:10 |
| maco2 | so is jono's video supposed to be a silent film, or is flash being stupid on my laptop? | 22:11 |
| pleia2 | flash is being stupid on your laptop | 22:11 |
| pleia2 | :( | 22:11 |
| maco2 | ok | 22:11 |
| maco2 | reason to dislike ustream and prefer regular old .mov or .avi or .mp4: no flash! | 22:12 |
| maco2 | though this reminds me i need to listen to popey's podcast | 22:12 |
| maco2 | my miro is all backed up | 22:12 |
| maco2 | hmm why does ustream require flash in order to display a list of episodes? this seems gratuitous | 22:14 |
| maco2 | PAtGUoF | 22:14 |
| maco2 | People Against the Gratuitous Use of Flash | 22:15 |
| pleia2 | I actually liked the introduction of flash for videos, no more messing around with installing browser plugins for video | 22:15 |
| maco2 | ooh he has the "i'm sorry mr gates, i cant do that" LJ sticker | 22:15 |
| maco2 | pleia2: i tend to just plain not use the browser for video | 22:16 |
| maco2 | i wget the file and open it in totem or dragon (depending on gnome or kde) | 22:16 |
| pleia2 | maco2: well sure, but then you're downloading the content and that's STEALING! or somesuch ;) | 22:16 |
| maco2 | your browser has to download it to play it anyway | 22:16 |
| maco2 | huh. interesting definition of "random" | 22:28 |
| pleia2 | yeah, there seems to have been some kind of miscommunication regarding the additional selection | 22:29 |
| hypa7ia | sigh | 22:37 |
| nhandler | pleia2: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1993 | 22:42 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: thank you! :) | 22:42 |
| nhandler | pleia2: No problem | 22:42 |
