[17:30] me [17:39] 9 [17:39] oops [17:39] czajkowski: ooooh [17:41] AlanBell: they have jobs over there, we dont over here. Just looking at all of the options [17:41] yes, don't overlook anything [17:42] AlanBell: have to keep the folks happy, they're not exactly impressed wiht me on a laptop all day doing Ubuntu work [17:44] I understand [17:44] mum still wants me to get a proper job [17:45] I give her a list of my directorships and job titles and committees and boards and stuff that I sit on, but it still isn't a proper job [17:46] AlanBell: same, but unless it's earning it doesnt count in her book [17:46] and I'm not in the mood to argue with the mothership [17:47] your presentation is looking great [17:48] AlanBell: thanks [17:48] need to tweak it a bit more this evening [17:48] I would cut slide 19 down to just a few bullet points, that text is too small [17:48] figure out the last two slides [17:49] as I've to go for dinner with the family for grandfathers bday [17:49] slide 19 ... [17:49] let me go see [17:49] rehearse it a few times, relax, talk slowly, take pauses and smile :-) [17:49] ahhh yes slide 19 need to make that into points [17:49] on to do list === switchgirl is now known as DarkNemesis__ === DarkNemesis__ is now known as darknemesis [20:35] I am still recovering from vacation (hehe) so I won't be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow morning at 12:00 UTC, do we have someone who can chair? [20:38] pleia2: sounds like you had a great time [20:38] dinda: I did! thank you for your recommendations :) [20:39] pleia2: always happy to help with Vegas recs :) [20:40] ok, i'm timezone impaired so 12:00 UTC is that like a few hours from now or tomorrow? [20:41] it's 5AM pacific [20:41] dinda: 0 UTC is a few hours from now [20:41] i can chair it [20:41] yay [21:31] valorie: probably more appropriate to talk over here ;) it's 69 cents per copy for color, so yeah I'll probably just go b&w [21:32] the pdf on Resources is optimized for non-us paper, so I'm also modifying the svg for US + B&W printing [21:32] if we have pretty paper, it will still look good [21:33] * pleia2 nods [21:33] and if we have bus. cards, we won't need a lot -- just a few attention-grabbers [21:33] yeah, if people want more info [21:33] I'll see how much pretty paper costs, I might just do 100 [21:33] CLS might use more, although I'm not gonna be handing stuff out there [21:34] I don't think there are tables there [21:34] it's an unconf. [21:34] yeah [21:34] might do a talk [21:34] yay :D [21:34] if I can get my head together [21:34] and esp. if Linda is still gonna go [21:34] (althara) [21:35] cool [22:39] aloha [22:40] hi, which country are you in now? [22:41] _old [22:41] ack, wrong kb sorry [22:58] maco: what does MOTU stand for ? [22:58] Masters of the Universe [22:58] which is a He Man reference [22:59] and She-Ra too of course [22:59] hmm [22:59] how to explain that in a slide [22:59] bah [22:59] put up a picture of she-ra and have done with it [23:00] hehe [23:00] or just put MOTU = Masters of the Universe and explain what a MOTU does [23:00] MOTU - Developers in Ubuntu ;) [23:00] well the point is that the repos are main, universe, multiverse [23:00] and the MOTUs can muck about in universe [23:01] as I understand it [23:01] although "muck about" may be a bit too flipant a term for the serious work they do :-) [23:01] lol [23:01] true [23:02] gah I'm talking in front of CLC and I keep forgetting what it stands for [23:02] this is not going to go well [23:02] and I've to leave Castleconnell in 2 hrs [23:02] He-Man fought skeletor, who did She-Ra fight? [23:03] City Learning Centre [23:04] She was only allowed to destroy robotic enemies which were her primary foes. [23:05] AlanBell knows a great deal about this [23:05] ;-) [23:05] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She-Ra [23:06] there is nothing worth knowing that wikipedia does not know [23:06] I remember all the boys in the summer watching the cartoon beginning [23:06] all holding up their imaginary swords [23:06] I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!!!! [23:06] hilarious [23:07] but why didn't little girls have the same? [23:07] that makes me sad [23:07] I actually don't blame the parents [23:09] if anyone thinks I want, or am encouraging, my son to pick up anything long, heavy and dangerous and run about the house pretending it is a light sabre they are wrong. [23:19] they were imaginary swords [23:19] although there are some light-weight plastic toy ones on the market [23:20] I would have loved to learn how to sword-fight, though [23:20] yeah, I don't exactly encourage them either. Air guitars yes, air swords, not so much [23:20] it's very acrobatic [23:20] * valorie was a tomboy [23:20] I wanted to shoot, and fish, and climb trees [23:20] and did [23:21] but also could cook my fish, bake a pie [23:21] etc. [23:21] I think those should be human skills [23:21] it's just -- those boys had a *moment* [23:21] together [23:21] there is nothing like that for girls [23:23] bet there is [23:24] probably singing into hairbrushes as microphones or something like that though [23:27] that isn't *powerful* though [23:27] there are plenty of bonding experiences, certainly
