[09:13] <JFo> and I was awake since midnight last night
[09:13]  * nigelb hugs JFo too
[09:13] <nigelb> dholbach: my turn today?
[09:13]  * JFo hugs dholbach 
[09:13]  * JFo hugs nigelb :)
[09:13] <dholbach> nigelb: probably :)
[09:13] <nigelb> I'll post a "Thank you " to bug squad
[09:13]  * dholbach needs to rush out to buy a laptop hard disk - I accidentally dropped the laptop yesterday
[09:14] <dholbach> nigelb: that'd be nice!
[09:14]  * nigelb hugs dholbach 
[09:26] <kim0> dholbach: isn't yours a thinkpad
[09:27] <kim0> I think those has fall sensors to park disk heads
[09:37] <randa> hi dholbach
[09:47] <nigelb> kim0: looks like it didn't get parked :p
[09:47] <kim0> ew ;)
[10:04] <czajkowski> Aloha, this lack of sleeping lark is gonna make me go insane one of these days
[10:11]  * nigelb hugs czajkowski 
[10:13] <czajkowski> 4am wake up sucks donkey balls
[10:26] <czajkowski> nigelb: *hugs*
[10:32] <czajkowski> ah hah! I found the annoying bug that well annoys the living daylights out of me https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/439448
[10:32] <ubot2> Ubuntu bug 439448 in gnome-panel (Ubuntu Maverick) (and 5 other projects) "visual corruption affecting several panel applets (affects: 346) (dups: 84) (heat: 1838)" [Medium,Triaged]
[11:01] <dholbach> kim0: yep, didn't get parked :)
[11:01] <kim0> dholbach: ew .. total data loss ?
[11:01]  * czajkowski hugs dholbach 
[11:02] <dholbach> kim0: I dunno yet, I just bought a replacement disk and a 2.5′′→3.5′′ adaptor
[11:02] <dholbach> (and saw half of the city in the meantime just to find a shop that has everything I wanted)
[11:02] <czajkowski> dholbach: not a good start so to your monday then
[11:03] <dholbach> I guess it could have been worse somehow
[11:03] <dholbach> but it doesn't help with my productivity
[11:05]  * popey hugs the community
[11:07]  * nigelb hugs The popey
[11:48] <duanedesign> morning all
[11:48] <czajkowski> duanedesign: morning
[11:54] <duanedesign> czajkowski: that gnome panel bug does sound annooying
[11:58] <czajkowski> duanedesign: soo flipping annoying as I never know what it's going to draw correctly and I cant figure out why it does it sometimes and not the other
[11:58] <czajkowski> which I find more annoying tbh
[12:01] <duanedesign> czajkowski: yeah their doesnt seem to be any clues as to what might be the issue from reading the comments :(
[12:02] <czajkowski> duanedesign: no there are comments on how to leave a comment which I find annoying to read, but meh
[12:02] <czajkowski> duanedesign: what I find sometimes is when I boot up, and boot up goes a bit cranky it renders stupidly
[12:02] <czajkowski> or if I put in my passowrd wrong once
[12:02] <czajkowski> then it renders wrong
[12:02] <czajkowski> but I cant prove that
[12:02] <czajkowski> :(
[12:05] <czajkowski> Heart melting stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDbAxhV2ofM&feature
[12:11] <duanedesign> czajkowski: have to smile when you watch that :)
[12:11] <czajkowski> you do really there is no other reaction
[12:11] <czajkowski> so cute
[14:31] <akgraner> kim0, hey!
[14:31] <akgraner> did jono have a chance to review things?
[14:31]  * nigelb hugs akgraner 
[14:32] <akgraner> nigelb, hey!
[14:32] <kim0> akgraner: I guess I'll know in a couple of hours .. will let you know
[14:33] <akgraner> kim0, okie dokie - just didn't want to do anything til I heard from you  - I'll show you what I am going with
[14:33] <akgraner> do you have a picture?  and I thought I would ask jono if I can use the one of all you guys in prague
[14:33] <akgraner> nigelb, if you can clean up the audio I'll use it  - I just haven't had time lately
[14:34] <nigelb> akgraner: don't have much hope for the audio.  We'll redo :)
[14:34] <akgraner> nigelb, it was taking way longer than I had hoped to get it all cleaned up :-/  or we can do another interview
[14:34] <nigelb> I kept interrupting you!
[14:34] <akgraner> hehe - :-)  no worries
[14:35] <akgraner> I'll send you the questions ahead of time
[14:35] <akgraner> and we can get that out of the way 1st and them yak about other things
[14:36] <nigelb> hahaha, true
[14:36] <nigelb> speaking of yakking, your server went down?
[14:37] <akgraner> it's back up now
[14:37] <nigelb> looks like the podcast was way more famous than you expected ;)
[14:37] <akgraner> gotta love development stuff
[14:54] <popey> Dear website team, please don't do this with ubuntu... http://thanks.debian.net/
[14:54] <paultag> haha I saw that earlier
[14:55] <paultag> popey: the BTS is like that too
[14:55] <popey> yeah
[14:55] <popey> insane
[14:55] <paultag> it's great :(
[14:55] <paultag> :) *
[15:09] <akgraner> I need someone who works with Ubuntu and Debian who wants to help with the news team - the Debian New People contacted me wanting to do some cross-collaboration - if anyone thinks of someone can you let me know?  I'd like to give them another POC other than me in case I get hit by a bus
[15:09] <akgraner> news not new - sigh
[15:11] <JFo> heh Debian New People :)
[15:13] <popey> akgraner: seen they're planning a podcast?
[15:14] <popey> http://wiki.debian.org/ThisWeekInDebian
[15:14] <akgraner> popey, nope haven't seen that yet  - I'll look now
[15:16] <akgraner> they just wanted DPN wanted to work with UWN on some stories  - and while I understand things I don't always know what is the most relevant as I am not a developer - so I need someone to help make sure we include the right things and the things we post are a win for the Ubuntu Community and not just one sided
[15:17] <akgraner> woo hoo - Alexander Reichle-Schmehl - getting involved as non-technical user
[15:18] <akgraner> I had a conversation at UDS with Stefano about this exact subject
[15:19] <czajkowski> looking forward to chatting to him in dublin next month
[15:43] <doctormo> Woo! I've basically recovered from that DebConf man-cold! Bloody summer colds last forever.
[15:44] <dholbach> hola jono
[15:48] <kim0> morning jono
[15:49] <jono> hey dholbach, kim0 :)
[15:49]  * doctormo joins in the jono hug
[15:49]  * jono hugs doctormo
[15:50] <jono> anything exciting happen while I was away?
[15:50] <doctormo> jono: How long have you been gone? LinuxCon was last week?
[15:51] <jono> doctormo, I went offline on Tues last week
[15:51] <jono> well, went off IRC
[15:51] <jono> I was streaming my recording online
[15:51] <doctormo> LinuxCon in Boston, showed a bunch of kernel hackers around Boston's tourist hot spots.
[15:51] <dholbach> jono: how did the recording go?
[15:51] <jono> dholbach, really well :)
[15:52] <jono> http://www.severedfifth.com/2010/08/16/nightmares-by-design-recording-update/
[15:52] <dholbach> jono: nice - what is still left to be done?
[15:52] <jono> vocals and some lead bits
[15:52] <jono> and then mixing
[15:53] <dholbach> nice
[15:53] <dholbach> good luck with all that!
[15:53] <jono> thanks!
[15:58] <doctormo> jono: I did get the community done in a henna tattoo: http://imagebin.ca/view/LWJjUwa.html
[15:59] <jono> doctormo, nice!
[15:59] <doctormo> Hard to get the angle for the webcam there.
[15:59] <jono> heh
[15:59] <doctormo> They were doing penguins and such at LinuxCon, also a cartoonist was doing impression portraits.
[15:59] <doctormo> UDS could learn a lot from the randomness of LinuxCon! ;-)
[16:00] <kim0> jono: do we mumble
[16:00] <jono> kim0, we do, grabbing my headset
[16:00] <vish> doctormo: hrm.. "man-cold!" new strain? o.0
[16:03] <JFo> doctormo, I thought we were already pretty random :)
[16:05] <Pendulum> JFo: obviously next time someone needs to bring the stuff to do henna and fake tattoos :P
[16:06] <JFo> Pendulum... interesting
[16:07] <JFo> I'd have thought more along the permanent tattoo route :)
[16:07] <JFo> wooo! check out my UDS-N ink!!
[16:07] <akgraner> JFo, will you have some time this afternoon for a call?
[16:07] <akgraner> like after your day ends?
[16:08] <Pendulum> JFo: well, I do suppose that would be more random
[16:08] <JFo> well, I am beat. but I shall see if I can make time for your highness ;-)
[16:09] <akgraner> JFo, thank you - I am not wearing the crown today   - so addressing me as Amber is fine :-P
[16:10] <JFo> ok :)
[16:10] <akgraner> JFo, I asked Pete to pull some stats on downloads from this weekend
[16:10] <akgraner> he said he would later for us
[16:10] <JFo> ok cool :)
[16:21] <doctormo> vish: Man cold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXLHWmjA5IE
[16:29] <jono> kim0, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoFAQ
[16:32] <doctormo> jono: Should all that info migrate to or be linked from the loco directory?
[16:33] <czajkowski> part of the loco council spring cleaning weekend for global jam
[16:34] <paultag> \o/
[16:35] <paultag> heyya doctormo
[16:35] <paultag> doctormo: how's things?
[16:37] <vish> doctormo: poor little bunny! ;p
[16:37] <AlanBell> are the ubuntu forums not letting people log on at the moment?
[16:37] <nhandler> AlanBell: I've seen several people with that problem
[16:37] <AlanBell> looks like nothing has been posted for 6 hours
[16:37] <nhandler> AlanBell: They also are not posting my Fridge story or marking a thread as 'Read'
[16:38] <AlanBell> the login process happens, but then you are not logged in
[16:38] <nhandler> AlanBell: Well, I'm logged in ;)
[16:38] <AlanBell> good for you!
[16:38] <AlanBell> are you really logged in though?
[16:38] <doctormo> paultag: Busy busy, yourself?
[16:39] <paultag> doctormo: busy busy
[16:39] <nhandler> AlanBell: Probably not. Most likely it would fail if I tried to log out and back in
[16:39] <doctormo> paultag: coffee?
[16:39] <paultag> doctormo: yeah, when?
[16:40] <paultag> doctormo: how does tom. afternoon sound?
[16:40] <AlanBell> nhandler: anyone good to poke about this?
[16:40] <doctormo> paultag: Sounds good, 1pm-ish? PiCon next week.
[16:40] <paultag> doctormo: Hurmm, can we shoot for later? I'm at work until 3, so about 4ish ?
[16:41] <doctormo> paultag: About the evening is fine.
[16:41] <paultag> doctormo: cool
[16:42] <AlanBell> nhandler: poked spads in canonical-sysadmin, they are going to take a look
[16:42] <nhandler> AlanBell: I saw :)
[16:45] <AlanBell> how on earth did it take 6 hours for this to be noticed? I don't really use the forums
[16:47] <nhandler> AlanBell: It was noticed. But it takes time for the extent of the problem to be visible.
[17:07] <nhandler> That was fast. LWN.net already picked up the multitouch story
[17:08] <paultag> :D
[17:08] <JFo> they ave sticky fingers
[17:09] <dholbach> dpm: nice blog post!
[17:09] <dholbach> dpm: I live the options for the "are you going?" question: "yes" and "count me in"
[17:09] <dholbach> :-)
[17:09] <AlanBell> tempted to get one of the shiny apple touchpad things now
[17:10] <czajkowski> wonder can we get the dell machine in EU the multitouch is being tested on
[17:11] <doctormo> AlanBell: Better to wait for something that can be installed. iPads still aren't linux friendly yet, the example running Linux I saw ran for 8 mins from full battery down to zero.
[17:12] <AlanBell> no, not an ipad
[17:12] <AlanBell> http://www.apple.com/magictrackpad/
[17:15] <dpm> dholbach, thanks! I'm glad you like it :)
[17:17]  * dholbach hugs dpm
[17:18]  * dpm hugs dholbach :)
[17:19] <nigelbabu> ugh, I got screwed
[17:19] <nigelbabu> xubuntu doesn't let me in! I enter my username and password and I end up at login screen again.  Sigh.
[17:19] <nigelbabu> dholbach: if you've got the time, can you take over for today's blog post? I think I'll be busy reinstalling Ubuntu :(
[17:21] <dholbach> nigelbabu: I have a call coming up in a bit
[17:21] <dholbach> nigelbabu: do you think we can find somebody else to blog?
[17:21] <nigelbabu> dholbach: I will :)
[17:22] <nhandler> nigelbabu: I can do it if you want
[17:22]  * dholbach had a reinstall-ubuntu experience today too
[17:22] <dholbach> nhandler: http://daniel.holba.ch/review/report has the report since last week
[17:23] <nhandler> Thanks dholbach
[17:23]  * dholbach hugs nhandler
[17:23]  * nigelbabu hugs nhandler 
[17:23] <dholbach> :-)
[17:26] <nigelbabu> nhandler: can stagger your post?
[17:26] <nigelbabu> pedro is writing a post via the Qa blog about the hug day report too :)
[17:27] <nhandler> nigelbabu: Just let me know when you want me to do it.
[17:27] <nigelbabu> nhandler: I wonder if we should let this week's report come up on the QA blog.
[17:27] <nigelbabu> You can join us on the rotation that jcastro, dholbach, and I do every week
[17:28] <nhandler> nigelbabu: Probably right about using the QA blog. Didn't they have a hug day for it ?
[17:29] <nigelbabu> nhandler: yep, they did.
[17:30] <nhandler> nigelbabu: Just poke me the weekend before the Monday that you want me to post it, and I would be more than glad to do so.
[17:31]  * nigelbabu hugs nhandler again :)
[17:31] <jono> dholbach, all set?
[17:31] <dholbach> jono: yep
[17:31] <nhandler> Thanks nigelbabu
[17:48] <jono> dholbach, http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-community-ubuntu-10.10.html
[17:50] <jono> dholbach, lets do skye
[17:50] <jono> skype
[17:50] <dholbach> jono: I don't have skype installed on that machine yet
[17:50] <jono> dholbach, what number can I call you on?
[18:02] <AlanBell> anyone know how to escalate the issue with forums.ubuntu.com being broken, the #canonical-sysadmin people are having difficulty contacting the forums administrator
[18:03] <AlanBell> actually all of http://ubuntuforums.org/ not just the redirect. You can't log on at the moment and it has been down for 8 hours
[18:05] <jussi> AlanBell: you can sometimes fin forums ppls in #ubuntuforums
[18:05] <AlanBell> yeah, very very quiet there
[18:06] <dpm> ok, I call it a day, see you all tomorrow!
[18:06] <AlanBell> there have been no posts to the forum for 8 hours, I am amazed at the lack of people jumping up and down about this
[18:06] <vish> AlanBell: tried pinging duanedesign ?
[18:06] <jussi> AlanBell: I can log in...
[18:06] <nhandler> vish: he isn't an admin. Only a mod
[18:06] <nhandler> jussi: Were you already logged in?
[18:06] <vish> nhandler: oh! , ok
[18:07] <jussi> nhandler: no
[18:07] <nhandler> jussi: Alright. I am logged in too (but I was logged in before the incident)
[18:07] <AlanBell> jussi: are you really logged in?
[18:07] <jussi> mind, I am a mod in one forum, so that may affect it
[18:07] <AlanBell> it goes through the openid process but then leaves me logged out
[18:08] <AlanBell> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331 <- not normal
[18:08] <jussi> AlanBell: http://imagebin.ca/view/Azhh4C.html
[18:08] <czajkowski> nigelb: you about ?
[18:09] <AlanBell> jussi: ok, I don't get that
[18:09] <Pendulum> czajkowski: I think he's gone to bed
[18:10] <jussi> AlanBell: it didnt go in the first time, but when I didnt do the impatient click the "if you arent redirected" thing, it went in
[18:10] <czajkowski> ahh ok
[18:10] <czajkowski> thanks Pendulum
[18:10] <AlanBell> jussi: I get "thankyou for logging in Alan Bell redirecting" then redirected me to a logged out state
[18:10] <Pendulum> I get the same as AlanBell
[18:10] <jussi> AlanBell: see #ubuntuforums
[18:16]  * dholbach calls it a day - see you all tomorrow *hugs*
[18:17] <doctormo> bye dholbach
[18:18] <czajkowski> dholbach: nn
[18:18] <dholbach> byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[18:20] <vish> yay! was able to post a comment, no problems there...
[18:20] <vish> oh , this is why i never logout!   ;p
[18:20] <czajkowski> jono: so do you want to have our call today ?
[18:21] <jono> czajkowski, can we do it tomorrow, I am slammed, I just got back
[18:22] <czajkowski> jono: got loco council stuff tomorrow, maybe Thursday
[18:23] <jono> czajkowski, sounds cool, thanks!
[18:24] <czajkowski> np
[19:48] <JFo> akgraner, you around?
[20:02] <jcastro> hi everyone
[20:03] <jcastro> jono: greetings from san diego
[20:03] <jcastro> I'll be home tonight, working tomorrow
[20:04] <jcastro> jono: also, MUSTAINE is doing a book signing on thursday, how cool is that
[20:12] <Technoviking> what is the canonical sysadmin room
[20:12] <Pendulum> Technoviking: they're aware
[20:12] <paultag_> #canonical-sysadmin
[20:12] <paultag_> Oh shucks
[20:12] <paultag_> +1 Pendulum
[20:12] <Technoviking> of the forums
[20:12] <Pendulum> AlanBell talked to them earlier about the forums
[20:12] <paultag_> yeah Technoviking
[20:12] <paultag_> Technoviking: it's been down almost 9 hours, I think
[20:13] <nhandler> Technoviking: Yeah. And jdong was also poked. I guess ryan is the only one with shell access :(
[20:13] <Technoviking> was hoping Ubuntu Geek would get the ping by now
[20:13] <Technoviking> sigh... damn embrassing
[20:13] <paultag_> Technoviking: not nearly as bad as using a nonfree fourms backend ;)
[20:14] <paultag_> Technoviking: I'm just messing around, I know, I know
[20:15] <Technoviking> paultag_: watch it, or I will move the forums DB to Oracle BWHAHAHA!!!
[20:15] <paultag_> hahaha
[20:15] <pleia2> well played :)
[20:16] <Technoviking> pleia2: I knew the Evil Geniuses 101 class I took would come in handy
[20:16] <pleia2> hehe
[20:16]  * paultag_ wishes that were real
[20:16] <paultag_> I'd so be an Evil Studies major
[20:18] <Technoviking> it is a db sync issue in mysql, don't think reboot the server will help
[21:55] <scott-work> jcastro: Dave has a book out?  hmmm, might have to check that out
[22:53] <akgraner> kim0, here is the link to your interview - thanks!  http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu/Ubuntu-s-growing-plans-to-add-more-Cloud-contributors-to-the-Open-Source-Atmosphere
[23:32] <doctormo> Hey akgraner
