[04:28] Hi all! [04:29] Dang it's almost midnight here :-( sorry I wasn't around much today... [04:57] hi akgraner! [04:58] highvoltage, hey! [04:58] seems like forever since I said hi to ya [04:58] are you all settled in and unpacked [04:58] ditto. are you doing ok? [04:59] kind of, I have around 5 boxes that still need to arrive [04:59] I guess they're stuck at customs or something :) [04:59] I hope they show up soon [04:59] do you remember what is in them [05:00] I unpacked last summer and went "Oh wow I forgot about that" [05:00] or "oh that is where that went" [05:00] yep. 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 electronics [05:01] should I start adding some links for the planet section so long? [05:01] yeah I'm sure I'll get some surprises in the boxes at least :) [05:02] highvoltage, sure - remember for the Planet - if it's about a LoCo team just drop the link and title into the LoCo section [05:03] ok [05:03] if it's about Canonical specific - like landscape or something then it goes into In Other News [05:03] the planet is tricky sometimes as those can go in a lot of other places in the news letter [05:03] I noticed last week :) [05:03] but don't sweat it b/c I'll move stuff around [05:04] that I've noticed, too! [05:04] also it needs to have been posted between August 22 and 28th [05:05] are you going to UDS? [05:05] well, at least we're slowly but surely getting in the habbit of starting earlier [05:05] rome wasn't build in a day! [05:05] I 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 engine [05:07] highvoltage, thanks! it's you all who do the work - I just rearrange things [05:07] highvoltage, I put in for sponsorship - I hope I get it [05:08] I'll hold thumbs! [05:11] :-) thanks [05:11] will you be there? [05:13] highvoltage, do you know JFo? [05:14] he and I are doing a podcast now [05:14] the 1st Episode was full of mistakes with sound and stuff [05:14] but we had a blast doing it [05:14] akgraner: I saw your blog entry about it, I've been meaning to give it a listen [05:15] I would advise listen on your computer as I forgot to equalize the sound [05:15] akgraner: 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 soon [05:15] heh, ok [05:15] and in addition I am on the right speaker and JFo is on the left I think [05:15] UGH [05:16] highvoltage, awesome - video tutorials seem to be very popular these days [05:16] I am playing around with a UWN Live Video Cast [05:16] yes, 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 howto [05:16] I've almost got the background drape finished [05:17] previously I thought that videos would be more work, but it seems these days they've become quite easy [05:18] seems that way [05:18] I still find it not as easy as people make it out to be but not impossible either [05:20] akgraner: 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=Cbk980jV7Ao [05:20] * akgraner looks [05:22] highvoltage, hahahahahaha [05:22] that is great [18:58] hi everyone I am *finally* back online and I have power once again at my house! woo hoo!!!
