[01:12] hey [01:12] Dell cuddles Canonical for big Ubuntu fluffer love [01:13] that title really really needs to be changed......do you know what a fluffer is? [01:23] akgraner: scott_ev has a really good point there. is there any way to change the title slightly? [01:23] we don't change the titles we report them as they are listed [01:23] *nods* [01:24] brb [01:24] and I assume there are no other articles talking about the same thing? [01:24] I can't see what anyone is typing [01:24] scott_ev: have you read the article? [01:28] and there are other uses for the word fluffer as well - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluffing [01:28] no, I haven't read the article but a fluffer in the porn industry is the person that gets the man ready for his scene [01:28] aweful [01:29] akgraner: I see that my section isn't done....I can do it real quick if you want me to knock it out [01:32] it's done [01:32] ok, I'm so sorry I didn't get it done earlier in the week before I quit my meds. the withdrawls will be over before next week's release [01:34] again no worries - I just hope you feel better :-) [01:34] I'm just fixing the camelcases right now [01:37] I just noticed that there are only 2 brainstorms this week...bummer [01:43] yep Can't add what isn't there [01:44] agreed [02:13] The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: [02:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue201 [02:14] I shortened the title I figured it's easier to get chewed on for changing the title rather than not changing it - sigh [02:21] *nods* [03:06] hey all - highvoltage, internalkernel, holstein, nigelb, Pendulum and others work can begin on 202 - http://www.ietherpad.com/UWN and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue202 also THANK YOU very much for all your work on Issue 201! - Great Job! [03:07] thanks! [03:08] didn't work on this fine, but I will work on next one :) [03:09] also the gdoc has been cleared out and can be used as well :-) https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en [03:10] Have a great evening - need to get some rest before developer week starts tomorrow :-) [03:13] akgraner: favorite issue yet - (except for the couple where i was mentioned :P) [03:15] :-P === MTeck-ricer is now known as MTecknology [05:26] MTecknology: whats with the new nick? ;) [05:26] I agree with you - I community is what unites us all :) [05:27] nigelb: I've had that a while - I wear it sometimes when I start tweaking my kernel [05:28] or when I'm ricing some other part of my buntu system [05:40] maco: hey there babe [05:40] * maco blinks [05:40] no. [05:40] :P [05:40] * nigelb blinks twice [05:40] maco: haven't talked to you in a while, how've you been? [05:42] was doing fairly well after just hanging out with some friends. am now being a sourpuss [05:42] thanks. [05:42] :( [05:42] I'm sorry.. [05:42] * MTecknology feels like an a-hole now [05:43] MTecknology: it's not really appropriate to adress anyone as "hey there babe" unless you're in a rather close personal relationship with them [05:43] and is especially inappropriate in an Ubuntu channel, IMO [05:44] Pendulum: It's actually kinda common place around here [05:44] doesn't make it appropriate [05:44] *NOT* appropriate even if you're in a relationship IMHO [05:44] and I really haven't seen that happen in many Ubuntu channels [05:44] anyway.. [05:44] nigelb: well, I'm thinking that if my partner said it, I wouldn't be offended [05:44] * maco agrees with Pendulum [05:45] Pendulum: yes, but unless everyone knows you're partners, they might go "what the..." [05:45] nigelb: i think then youd get a PM asking whether you're partners :P [05:45] nigelb: fair enough :-) I don't generally date people who'd say such things on IRC anyway [05:45] (at least in public) [05:45] maco: exactly [05:45] haha [05:45] ive "dear"d partners in channels before [05:46] like "yes dear" or "thank you dear" [05:46] thats okay [05:46] there are channels where I'll accept it a little more liberally, but none of them are Ubuntu channels [05:46] I've deared people who're not partners when buttering them to do something for me :p [05:57] hahaha [06:30] for next week: maybe mention the new UW logo? [06:31] I didn't bother mentioning it since we have so many UW on the news team ;P [06:32] * maco grumbles about being dragged onto the news team lately [06:32] i am officially not on this team! you cant make me! [06:42] maco: haha [08:45] Dell cuddles Canonical for big Ubuntu fluffer love http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/07/dell_canonical_ubuntu_clouds/ akgraner [13:41] nUboon2Age, what about that?
