=== lyz_ is now known as lyz
[00:14] <lyz> hmm, webchat is not so bad
[00:14] <lyz> just added it to our forum thread on meetings: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9666634&postcount=25
[00:14] <daker> \o/
[00:15] <daker> lyz, qwebirc ?
[00:15] <pleia2> yeah
[00:15] <daker> awesome
[00:15] <lyz> I'm hoping to get more folks coming to meetings, and the webchat makes it so much easier
[00:15] <daker> yeah
[00:15] <lyz> gone are the days of yucky java clients, it seems :)
[00:16] <daker> it easy, you don't have to install anything
[00:16] <lyz> yeah, and it's not actually a horrible interface, very simple
[00:17]  * daker likes xchat
[00:17] <lyz> the colors could be improved to make it more obvious that the channel names are buttons at the top, but I think most people using this for a single meeting won't need to worry about it
[00:18] <lyz> irssi for me, but I'd be crazy if I thought that was a good option for folks who are shy about using IRC ;)
[00:18] <daker> \o/
[00:19] <lyz> looks like configuration options here do allow for some theming
[00:19] <lyz> might be good to create an ubuntu-women.org/chat or something to simplify joining
[00:20] <lyz> ok, done playing
[02:41] <rww> pleia2: you can specify color schemes (i think) and destination channel (i know) in URLs too, which is nice for linking new people.
[02:44] <pleia2> rww: yeah, we use the destination channels for classroom, which got me thinking about this
[03:05] <nigelb> pleia2: lyz looks like a better nickname :D
[03:06] <pleia2> nigelb: I can't change now!
[03:06] <pleia2> am considering changing my account id to it though
[03:06] <pleia2> and updating my mask
[03:07] <nigelb> pleia2: wait, why can't you change?
[03:07] <pleia2> everyone knows pleia2 :)
[03:07] <pleia2> it's been my nick for like 12 years
[03:07] <pleia2> anyway, dinner!
[03:07] <nigelb> everyone knows pleia2 is lyz :D
[03:22] <rww> welcome to why I'm not robertwall. I tried it for a couple of days. I actually got PMs asking me to switch back :S
[03:30] <elky> rww, I occasionally still get people telling me to switch back to "elkbuntu"
[03:30] <elky> But, the "what is elkbuntu, is this another distro" was much more common, hence this nick wins.
[05:05] <svaksha> rww: yeah. i had only added and extra alphabet 'm' to my nick and got pm's saying this nick was better. heh
[05:06] <svaksha> s/and/an
[06:10] <nigelb> elky: this is shorter though you'll have to deal with tab error with elly
[06:11] <nigelb> I was nigel_nb, nigelbabu, and now settled on nigelb :)
[06:12] <elky> nigelb, I'd have to settle for namespace issues with elly even if I was elkbuntu. people tend to only bother with the first 2 letters.
[06:14] <nigelb> elky: ah, true :D
[13:07] <czajkowski> pleia2: when you're about later gives a shout will you please re poll, thanks
