[00:01] Same with me, I thought ground cherries was better than cape [00:02] How about a strawberry guava tree, I wont get any fruit for at least a few years [00:04] something similar to the ground cherries is known as "jodenkers" ("jews cherry") here, go figure ;) [00:04] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis_alkekengi in English [00:07] Horrible name & it can cause health problem, hmm. [00:07] tomato does have some not friendly relatives [00:08] 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] Thats why I was reluctant with these, til I saw how it was used for pies & other stuff, safley even [00:09] tomatoes & potatoes aren't entirely harmless on their own of course ;) [00:09] ok, similar to how we have some squash here that are called turbans [00:10] potatoes eyes are pretty harful if you eat them [00:10] well, tomatoes are mostly okay, but uncooked potatoes are somewhat poisonous [00:10] The shoots have some nasty green chemical that can make you sick, [00:11] The new issue of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue183 [00:12] akgraner: spammer! ;-) [00:12] :-P [00:13] but seriously, thanks to you and the rest of the team :-) [00:13] you're welcome :-) [00:14] I guess I should close off voting now [00:14] Hah, 3 votes in the past half hour. [00:15] Some people are cutting it really close [00:15] it is aftwe 2400UTC isn't it :-) [00:15] after even [00:15] I really enjoy reading about what some of the folks do in the Ubuntu Community [00:15] it is, yes [00:15] * elky shells in and updates the php [00:16] it's after 00h UTC indeed [00:16] elky, thanks! - I talked to Jono he will be doing the drawing at 10amPST - which I believe is 7pm UTC [00:17] akgraner, does he know how yet? [00:17] akgraner, i mean, has he organised a comically large top hat or something? [00:17] elky, dunno about that - - but when I asked if he was all ready for Monday he said he was [00:18] 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] He probably has a few to choose from [00:19] elky, I am emailing him in just a few so I'll double check :-) [00:19] MarkDude: or a rotting corpse of a former UK prime minister? ;) [00:19] knowing Jono - you never know [00:19] * JanC thinks about some famous metal album cover that got forbidden in the UK :P [00:20] (that prime minister was in function back in the 1980s) [00:20] :) [00:21] tea, biscuits & heavy metal http://www.flickr.com/photos/gidgetkitchen/4383207150/ [00:22] Jono is a good subject for filler slides, its safer than some choices [00:22] elky: can we the total votes thing now? [00:23] can you wait until i finish closing it off? [00:24] yep :P [00:24] :) [00:25] http://elkbuntu.net/ubuntuwomen/result.php [00:29] elky: It might be nice to sort the table by the number of votes [00:29] nhandler, yeah, i'll array them in a bit [00:29] :) [00:30] http://elkbuntu.net/ubuntuwomen/result.phps fwiw [00:30] * elky really is out of touch with coding :( [00:31] (index.phps and token.phps also now exist) [00:32] and i really should check that i put a dbconn in before doing that... [00:32] * elky goes and changes passwords [00:32] lol [00:33] 'Could not connect to the database. No pony for you' :p [00:33] elky: just order the database query, should turn up right :) [00:34] nigelb, uh? [00:34] but we are going to formally announce both winners tomorrow right? [00:35] elky: oh no, misread code. needs-more-reading [00:36] elky, I mean we are going to be blogging or tweeting one but not the other before tomorrow are we? [00:37] no point in having jono do it otherwise, really [00:37] tatica1 is in -women if you want to tell her, but she's going to have to embargo it [00:40] elky: I guess you could just color the top entry ;) I'm too lazy to figure out how to sort ;) [00:40] top = winning [00:42] nigelb, i can put it in an array and sort the array [00:42] it's just, i didn't [00:42] most of this was done after work in a week I wasn't leaving work until after 7pm [00:42] elky: ask for help then :) [00:42] nigelb, i don't need help. [00:42] * nigelb is a bit rusty but worked on a few projects :) [00:43] i need phpmyadmin to do what i tell it [00:43] elky: oh well, I could have done parts of it when you didn't have time :) [00:46] its now refusing to change password? [00:47] phpmyadmin? [00:47] i'd guess so [00:47] try changing with root then [00:47] i am logged in to phpmyadmin as root [00:48] now, thats really odd [00:48] but no matter how many times i change the password, it fails to connect [00:48] changed the password on the page? [00:48] of course [00:49] it it hosted by you or somewhere else? (because hosts tend to limit power to phpmyadmin) [00:49] dreamhost. it's the same one i, you k now, set it up on [00:50] I've faced this issue, but I dont remember what I did [00:50] is there a way outside of phpmyadim to change the database password? [00:50] if so, try that [00:51] i've changed it to the root password for now [00:51] it feels icky :( [00:51] a bit dangerous and highly unrecommended [00:52] nigelb, back off. [00:52] okay okay [00:52] sorry :( [00:54] it's only a temporary measure, just to stop people seeing that even less secure error [00:54] :) [00:55] I'm going to laze the whole day in a resort with teammates, so catch y'all later :) [00:55] elky: asking for an embargo in a logged channel? ☺ [00:56] JanC, a logged channel is a little diffrerent to plastered across 3 social networks and goodness only knows how many planets [00:57] i just don't think setting the blogosphere awash right now is terribly useful [01:20] there [01:22] I kinda get the feeling that there were some folks pushing the voting fairly heavily in certain loco groups [01:23] *cough*fabian*cough* [01:24] elky: voting on what? [01:24] the story comp [01:24] ohhh [01:25] well fabian is a good pusher :) [01:25] he is, yeah [01:25] errr that sounds bad [01:25] im just noting the apparent heritage of the top stories ;) [05:53] 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 [05:55] akgraner, someone really needs to tell him that we kinda have a newer logo than that, too. [06:29] good morning [08:01] aloha [13:21] Anyone here have the AcerAspireOne? [13:31] not I said the hedgehog === rww is now known as robertwall [18:09] jjono is announcing the winnder of the women competition [18:09] http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon [18:09] congtats tactil [19:14] elky, pleia2 can you all get together about getting the stories onto the website?? please :-) [19:15] akgraner: on the wiki? [19:15] yeah that's what I meant [19:15] wiki webpages - yadda yadda :-) [19:16] should just be a copy paste job [19:16] I can work on that this evening [19:16] 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) [19:17] I am about put out a blog post on the winners... then sent to the list :-) [19:17] great :) [19:17] 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? [19:18] I'd put the stories in the announcement [19:19] ok can do - I'll write it up so it can sure as an announcement on the Fridge as well [19:19] serve even [19:25] 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? [21:26] ok, we have veeeery basic: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/InternationalWomensDay (we should probably flesh it out, add links back to blog entries maybe) [21:27] 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 [21:28] so... for those of us who were asleep until about 10 minutes ago? [21:36] hm? [21:37] we're putting them up on the wiki for long term storage [21:37] elky - The winners are: Elvira Martinez and Karen Y. Perez with honorable mention going to Jen Phillips as well [21:37] its like 930am in elkyland i think, so asleep til 10 minutes ago makes sense... [21:37] maco2: sure, I just don't understand the question [21:37] what is for people who were asleep? [21:38] also here is the link to the videocast - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon [21:44] pleia2, It meant I wasn't awake at 5am ;) [21:45] elky: ah, yeah, I had just woken up and was on a conference call :\ [21:46] bbiab today is akgraner's taxi service - taking becca to wrestling practice :-) [21:47] I have a becca too [21:47] she doesn't do wrestling though [21:51] inbox 0 :D [21:51] <---------very happy [21:51] wanna do mine next? :) [21:52] mine third? [21:52] it's taken 2 weeks due to not having net [21:52] which drove me slightly bonkers [21:52] so now for cv [22:08] * maco2 goes to listen/watch to jono's ustream thingy [22:08] (since when is text insufficient for communication?) [22:09] (i can read text much faster than i can listen to someone talk) [22:09] akgraner will announce it on the list too, along with the winning stories [22:09] as text :) [22:09] oooh silent jono. that's a change. that's like me being silent (outside of the meetinghouse) [22:09] though his lips are moving...hmm [22:10] maco2: you speak the fastest [22:10] czajkowski: i know someone that speaks faster and more than me! [22:10] czajkowski: and he's had 5 fewer years of practice! [22:11] so is jono's video supposed to be a silent film, or is flash being stupid on my laptop? [22:11] flash is being stupid on your laptop [22:11] :( [22:11] ok [22:12] reason to dislike ustream and prefer regular old .mov or .avi or .mp4: no flash! [22:12] though this reminds me i need to listen to popey's podcast [22:12] my miro is all backed up [22:14] hmm why does ustream require flash in order to display a list of episodes? this seems gratuitous [22:14] PAtGUoF [22:15] People Against the Gratuitous Use of Flash [22:15] I actually liked the introduction of flash for videos, no more messing around with installing browser plugins for video [22:15] ooh he has the "i'm sorry mr gates, i cant do that" LJ sticker [22:16] pleia2: i tend to just plain not use the browser for video [22:16] i wget the file and open it in totem or dragon (depending on gnome or kde) [22:16] maco2: well sure, but then you're downloading the content and that's STEALING! or somesuch ;) [22:16] your browser has to download it to play it anyway [22:28] huh. interesting definition of "random" [22:29] yeah, there seems to have been some kind of miscommunication regarding the additional selection [22:37] sigh [22:42] pleia2: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1993 [22:42] nhandler: thank you! :) [22:42] pleia2: No problem
