[00:08] <akgraner> johnc4510, now I think I might have to try it again
[00:09] <johnc4510> :)
[00:09] <johnc4510> it surprised me
[00:10] <johnc4510> set up and controls are a little different but nothing you can't pick up right off
[00:12] <johnc4510> ok, gotta run...later all
[00:12] <akgraner> laters
[01:19]  * nhandler can't find the purpose in using such a client when he always has a web browser open
[18:17] <joey> akgraner: so I had this thought this morning
[18:18] <joey> akgraner: or more like I remembered something I didn't tell you
[18:18] <akgraner> hehe
[18:18] <akgraner> joey, I'm all ears - shoot
[18:18] <joey> akgraner: The original intent of the Fridge, after some thinking by me, was NOT to be simply a news source.
[18:19] <akgraner> I only started my googledoc yesterday to get the blueprint and wiki info organized
[18:19] <joey> akgraner: it was really designed to be an information radiator.   http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?InformationRadiator
[18:20]  * akgraner reads
[18:20] <joey> akgraner: here's a picture  http://theagileexecutive.com/2010/03/15/how-to-construct-a-great-information-radiator/
[18:21] <joey> akgraner: but because back in 2005 that was new thinking, I can only assume it was easier to just create a news hub
[18:23] <joey> anyway, that's what I'd offer up as "Fridge v2"
[18:23] <akgraner> joey, cool.. I'll process this information in just a few and tweak roadmap wiki and blueprint
[18:24] <akgraner> and drop the links here and the mailing list :-)
[18:27] <joey> akgraner: doing it on wordpress might be tricky but some ideas:  a ticker that scans twitter & identi.ca for #ubuntu posts.   a ticker that shows upcoming meetings in #ubuntu-meetings or similar
[18:27] <joey> akgraner: a release countdown timer...   in fact, a countdown timer for all alphas and betas
[18:28] <joey> akgraner: a security exposure ticker or notice
[18:28] <akgraner> joey, hehe your todo list is growing ....
[18:28] <akgraner> :-D
[18:28] <akgraner> those are cool ideas
[18:28] <akgraner> did I mention how much I <3 wordpress
[18:29] <joey> brainstorming is free :-)
[18:35] <akgraner> that is true
[18:46] <joey> akgraner: super, the Fridge's WP Lucid theme will be done ..... tomorrow ;-)
[18:49] <akgraner> sweet!!!!
[18:51] <akgraner> happy dance \o/
[19:25] <joey> akgraner: what's date for UWN 200
[19:25] <joey> seems the date is in flux for the fridge migration now
[19:25] <akgraner> July 4th iirc
[19:25] <akgraner> one sec let me look at my calendar
[19:27] <akgraner> yep last week was 188 so counting forward the weekend of July 4th will be the 200th edition
[19:28] <joey> k
[19:44] <joey> akgraner:  idea.  WP version of Fridge = Fridge 2.0      Information radiator version of the fridge, if we can do it, 3.0  :-)
[19:49] <akgraner> hmm - maybe we should just slap up a poll for both teams to vote on
[19:52] <akgraner> I like information radiator  - Ubuntu IR 2.0 or something cool
