[17:12] <czajkowski> Pendulum: ello
[17:20] <hypatia> hola
[17:20] <hypatia> had a power outage :)
[17:21] <czajkowski> hypatia: wonder where you'd gotten to
[17:21] <czajkowski> hypatia: any recommendations for toronto recruiters?
[17:21] <hypatia> IT or otherwise?
[17:21] <czajkowski> IT
[17:25] <hypatia> hmm
[17:25] <hypatia> i know of a couple, but am in a dr's office waiting room
[17:25] <hypatia> will pm later
[17:28] <czajkowski> hypatia: thanks
[17:28] <czajkowski> not urgent just curious and seeing if it'd be possible at this stage
[17:28] <hypatia> k
[17:29] <hypatia> for you or a friend?
[17:30] <czajkowski> me
[17:39] <AlanBell> 9
[17:39] <AlanBell> oops
[17:39] <AlanBell> czajkowski: ooooh
[17:41] <czajkowski> AlanBell: they have jobs over there, we dont over here.  Just looking at all of the options
[17:41] <AlanBell> yes, don't overlook anything
[17:42] <czajkowski> AlanBell: have to keep the folks happy, they're not exactly impressed wiht me on a laptop all day doing Ubuntu work
[17:44] <AlanBell> I understand
[17:44] <AlanBell> mum still wants me to get a proper job
[17:45] <AlanBell> 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] <czajkowski> AlanBell: same, but unless it's earning it doesnt count in her book
[17:46] <czajkowski> and I'm not in the mood to argue with the mothership
[17:47] <AlanBell> your presentation is looking great
[17:48] <czajkowski> AlanBell: thanks
[17:48] <czajkowski> need to tweak it a bit more this evening
[17:48] <AlanBell> I would cut slide 19 down to just a few bullet points, that text is too small
[17:48] <czajkowski> figure out the last two slides
[17:49] <czajkowski> as I've to go for dinner with the family for grandfathers bday
[17:49] <czajkowski> slide 19 ...
[17:49] <czajkowski> let  me go see
[17:49] <AlanBell> rehearse it a few times, relax, talk slowly, take pauses and smile :-)
[17:49] <czajkowski> ahhh yes slide 19 need to make that into points
[17:49] <czajkowski> on to do list
[20:35] <pleia2> 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] <dinda> pleia2: sounds like you had a great time
[20:38] <pleia2> dinda: I did! thank you for your recommendations :)
[20:39] <dinda> pleia2: always happy to help with Vegas recs :)
[20:40] <dinda> ok, i'm timezone impaired so 12:00 UTC is that like a few hours from now or tomorrow?
[20:41] <pleia2> it's 5AM pacific
[20:41] <maco> dinda: 0 UTC is a few hours from now
[20:41] <hypatia> i can chair it
[20:41] <pleia2> yay
[21:31] <pleia2> 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] <pleia2> the pdf on Resources is optimized for non-us paper, so I'm also modifying the svg for US + B&W printing
[21:32] <valorie> if we have pretty paper, it will still look good
[21:33]  * pleia2 nods
[21:33] <valorie> and if we have bus. cards, we won't need a lot -- just a few attention-grabbers
[21:33] <pleia2> yeah, if people want more info
[21:33] <pleia2> I'll see how much pretty paper costs, I might just do 100
[21:33] <valorie> CLS might use more, although I'm not gonna be handing stuff out there
[21:34] <valorie> I don't think there are tables there
[21:34] <valorie> it's an unconf.
[21:34] <pleia2> yeah
[21:34] <valorie> might do a talk
[21:34] <pleia2> yay :D
[21:34] <valorie> if I can get my head together
[21:34] <valorie> and esp. if Linda is still gonna go
[21:34] <valorie> (althara)
[21:35] <pleia2> cool
[22:39] <czajkowski> aloha
[22:40] <AlanBell> hi, which country are you in now?
[22:41] <dinda> _old
[22:41] <dinda> ack, wrong kb sorry
[22:58] <czajkowski> maco: what does MOTU stand for ?
[22:58] <AlanBell> Masters of the Universe
[22:58] <AlanBell> which is a He Man reference
[22:59] <AlanBell> and She-Ra too of course
[22:59] <czajkowski> hmm
[22:59] <czajkowski> how to explain that in a slide
[22:59] <czajkowski> bah
[22:59] <AlanBell> put up a picture of she-ra and have done with it
[23:00] <czajkowski> hehe
[23:00] <Pendulum> or just put MOTU = Masters of the Universe and explain what a MOTU does
[23:00] <czajkowski> MOTU - Developers in Ubuntu ;)
[23:00] <AlanBell> well the point is that the repos are main, universe, multiverse
[23:00] <AlanBell> and the MOTUs can muck about in universe
[23:01] <AlanBell> as I understand it
[23:01] <AlanBell> although "muck about" may be a bit too flipant a term for the serious work they do :-)
[23:01] <czajkowski> lol
[23:01] <czajkowski> true
[23:02] <czajkowski> gah I'm talking in front of CLC and I keep forgetting what it stands for
[23:02] <czajkowski> this is not going to go well
[23:02] <czajkowski> and I've to leave Castleconnell in 2 hrs
[23:02] <AlanBell> He-Man fought skeletor, who did She-Ra fight?
[23:03] <AlanBell> City Learning Centre
[23:04] <AlanBell> She was only allowed to destroy robotic enemies which were her primary foes.
[23:05] <valorie> AlanBell knows a great deal about this
[23:05] <valorie> ;-)
[23:05] <AlanBell> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She-Ra
[23:06] <AlanBell> there is nothing worth knowing that wikipedia does not know
[23:06] <valorie> I remember all the boys in the summer watching the cartoon beginning
[23:06] <valorie> all holding up their imaginary swords
[23:06] <valorie> I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!
[23:06] <valorie> hilarious
[23:07] <valorie> but why didn't little girls have the same?
[23:07] <valorie> that makes me sad
[23:07] <AlanBell> I actually don't blame the parents
[23:09] <AlanBell> 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] <valorie> they were imaginary swords
[23:19] <valorie> although there are some light-weight plastic toy ones on the market
[23:20] <valorie> I would have loved to learn how to sword-fight, though
[23:20] <AlanBell> yeah, I don't exactly encourage them either. Air guitars yes, air swords, not so much
[23:20] <valorie> it's very acrobatic
[23:20]  * valorie was a tomboy
[23:20] <valorie> I wanted to shoot, and fish, and climb trees
[23:20] <valorie> and did
[23:21] <valorie> but also could cook my fish, bake a pie
[23:21] <valorie> etc.
[23:21] <valorie> I think those should be human skills
[23:21] <valorie> it's just -- those boys had a *moment*
[23:21] <valorie> together
[23:21] <valorie> there is nothing like that for girls
[23:23] <AlanBell> bet there is
[23:24] <AlanBell> probably singing into hairbrushes as microphones or something like that though
[23:27] <valorie> that isn't *powerful* though
[23:27] <valorie> there are plenty of bonding experiences, certainly
