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

[19:00] <holstein> well, at least you know who to blame, and throw eggs at this halloween
[19:00] <akgraner> they called in the lifeflight for him but then canceled it
[19:01] <akgraner> I don't think he made it :-(
[19:01] <holstein> drag :/

[19:05] <holstein> i totally get what my mom was talking about when i was a kid
[19:05] <akgraner> and the following Monday will get her learners permit
[19:05] <holstein> becca seems like a sharp one though
[19:05] <akgraner> I think she is :-)
[19:05] <akgraner> ok so does everyone have a handle on their sections
[19:05] <holstein> akgraner: we're editing the Gdoc?
[19:06] <holstein> right?
[19:06] <holstein> for adding summaries?
[19:06] <akgraner> you can add where ever you are comfortable
[19:06] <akgraner> it's only on Monday's I ask people not to add to the wiki
[19:06] <akgraner> b/e I am in and out of it so much
[19:07] <holstein> https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en
[19:07]  * holstein looking here
[19:07] <holstein> i'll keep an eye there
[19:07] <holstein> as the 'in other news' section develops
[19:08] <akgraner> let me see if the wiki has the sites listed on it now
[19:09] <akgraner> holstein, and internalkernel  - chan has added a ton of sources to the wiki under in the press  - you can check those sites to see if there is anything from the 22-24th
[19:09] <akgraner> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/LinkSuggestions
[19:11] <holstein> akgraner: ok i can do that
[19:11] <holstein> and i copy them over to the Gdoc if so
[19:11] <holstein> ?
[19:12] <holstein> in the same section, with the usual formatting
[19:12] <akgraner> yep title and link
[19:12] <akgraner> and summary if you can write them
[19:12] <akgraner> or don't mind writing them
[19:13] <akgraner> it's easy to move stuff around later
[19:13] <holstein> sure
[19:13] <holstein> i'll get on that
[19:13] <akgraner> and better to have an not need than to need and not have
