akgranerHi all!04:28
akgranerDang it's almost midnight here :-(   sorry I wasn't around much today...04:29
highvoltagehi akgraner!04:57
akgranerhighvoltage, hey!04:58
akgranerseems like forever since I said hi to ya04:58
akgranerare you all settled in and unpacked04:58
highvoltageditto. are you doing ok?04:58
highvoltagekind of, I have around 5 boxes that still need to arrive04:59
highvoltageI guess they're stuck at customs or something :)04:59
akgranerI hope they show up soon04:59
akgranerdo you remember what is in them04:59
akgranerI unpacked last summer and went "Oh wow I forgot about that"05:00
akgraneror "oh that is where that went"05:00
highvoltageyep. nothing too important at least. stuff like my CD collection, a hi-fi, wii fit and wii accessories, lcd displays, oh and one computer I actually care about. and I think then one more box with a bunch of other misc electronics05:00
highvoltageshould I start adding some links for the planet section so long?05:01
highvoltageyeah I'm sure I'll get some surprises in the boxes at least :)05:01
akgranerhighvoltage, sure - remember for the Planet  - if it's about a LoCo team just drop the link and title into the LoCo section05:02
highvoltageok05:03
akgranerif it's about Canonical specific - like landscape or something then it goes into In Other News05:03
akgranerthe planet is tricky sometimes as those can go in a lot of other places in the news letter05:03
highvoltageI noticed last week :)05:03
akgranerbut don't sweat it b/c I'll move stuff around05:03
highvoltagethat I've noticed, too!05:04
akgraneralso it needs to have been posted between August 22 and 28th05:04
highvoltageare you going to UDS?05:05
highvoltagewell, at least we're slowly but surely getting in the habbit of starting earlier05:05
highvoltagerome wasn't build in a day!05:05
highvoltageI think if you keep running things like you do, it will just be a short matter of time before things run like a smooth running engine05:05
akgranerhighvoltage, thanks!  it's you all who do the work  -  I just rearrange things05:07
akgranerhighvoltage,  I put in for sponsorship - I hope I get it05:07
highvoltageI'll hold thumbs!05:08
akgraner:-)  thanks05:11
akgranerwill you be there?05:11
akgranerhighvoltage, do you know JFo?05:13
akgranerhe and I are doing a podcast now05:14
akgranerthe 1st Episode was full of mistakes with sound and stuff05:14
akgranerbut we had a blast doing it05:14
highvoltageakgraner: I saw your blog entry about it, I've been meaning to give it a listen05:14
akgranerI would advise listen on your computer as I forgot to equalize the sound05:15
highvoltageakgraner: I also found a whole bunch of cool edubuntu videos on youtube this week, I guess I'm going to buy a nice video camera and start a show or somwthing soon05:15
highvoltageheh, ok05:15
akgranerand in addition I am on the right speaker and JFo is on the left I think05:15
akgranerUGH05:15
akgranerhighvoltage, awesome  - video tutorials seem to be very popular these days05:16
akgranerI am playing around with a UWN Live Video Cast05:16
highvoltageyes, we always have documentation problems, but it seems like more people are willing to make videos on how to do something than actually type out a howto05:16
akgranerI've almost got the background drape finished05:16
highvoltagepreviously I thought that videos would be more work, but it seems these days they've become quite easy05:17
akgranerseems that way05:18
akgranerI still find it not as easy as people make it out to be but not impossible either05:18
highvoltageakgraner: I also want to make little short stories promoting free software. if I could make even just one as cool as this one I'd be very, very happy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk980jV7Ao05:20
