highvoltagewho is Scott Gilbertson and why should we care what he thinks?18:33
akgranerhighvoltage, link?19:37
akgraneroh that19:37
akgranerb/c we want to hear about what people think regardless of who they are19:38
akgranerhe writes for the register19:38
akgranerand people like to read about stuff that aren't always sunshine and roses if they make a valid point19:39
akgranerhighvoltage, we care about what end users have to say good, bad or ugly - I haven't always written positive stuff either19:41
highvoltageI just read the summary but his opinion didn't seem to be very good (I don't mean positive or negative, I mean valid)19:51
* highvoltage reads the actual post19:51
highvoltageafter reading the actual article, I agree more with what I said earlier19:53
highvoltageit's naive and stupid19:53
highvoltagebut include it if you want, I'm not agruing with you. meh.19:54
highvoltage(also, I hope he doesn't actually get paid to write dribble like that)19:54
akgranerhighvoltage, please think about how you criticize19:55
akgranerwhen team members determine that they would like something included be considerate of how you critique their contributions19:56
akgranernot trying to be harsh to you either just asking that we  to consider how to constructively criticize contributions that's all19:59
highvoltageunderstood.19:59
akgranerhighvoltage, thanks20:00
highvoltageI just happen to care a little about the quality of stuff that goes in to UWN, especially considering that some weeks, there's not enough space to include everything that's been going on and we have to drop some good things (this week is not a great example of that)20:01
akgranerhighvoltage, we all care not just you20:01
highvoltageI know :)20:01
akgranerhighvoltage, not everything is even in yet20:02
akgranerhighvoltage, we also give people the room to grow and learn about their sections20:02
highvoltageakgraner: ah, don't get me wrong, I wasn't criticising anyone in UWN team20:03
highvoltageI can see now how it would come across that way20:03
highvoltageanyway, I don't want to waste anyone's headspace on this and keep them from doing good work, sorry for the diversion!20:04
akgranerhighvoltage, thanks for caring... you'll be at UDS right?20:05
highvoltageakgraner: I have tickets and accomodation booked, I don't have my visa yet. the fastest that the local embassy could get me an appointment for is next thursday. so hopefully they'll be able to issue a visa real soon after that20:09
akgranerI hope so - I was just trying to figure out who was going to be there so I knew what items to plan on showing who on what days20:11
akgraneras We'll publish during UDS on Monday20:11
highvoltageah yes20:12
akgranerI am arriving either late Friday or early Saturday not 100% sure yet as we are driving20:13
highvoltageIf I could get my visa on Friday afternoon I'll probably hop over on Saturday20:14
highvoltageit will be nice seeing some more of the news people in person :)20:14
akgranernods20:14
akgranerPendulum, will be there as well20:14
highvoltageI heard her talk a lot at the last UDS well listening in so at least I'll recognise her voice :)20:16
highvoltage</creepy>20:16
Pendulumhighvoltage: you heard me talk a lot?20:17
akgranerPendulum, did  you talk a lot?20:17
Pendulumakgraner: depends on the session :P20:17
PendulumI was just trying to figure who the "her" was20:17
akgranerPendulum, Did anyone else have a chance to talk in the sessions that myself and Laura were in - we were wound up I think ;-)20:18
Pendulumoh, yeah20:18
Pendulumit happened :)20:18
highvoltagePendulum: heh, yes, at least I think so! probably during the community sessions20:19
PendulumI mean, I'm not usually that hard to recognise anyway20:20
akgraner:-)20:20
akgranerFunniest thing - Laura and I saying we didn't have accents20:20
highvoltagewell, the person I heard and that I thought was Pendulum had a very 'country' accent (in a good way)20:21
Pendulumheh. I came home with an accent that was a big Engilsh, bit Irish, bit Southern US, bit my normal accent, and maybe something else20:21
Pendulumhighvoltage: that sounds like akgraner20:21
highvoltagePendulum: ok, then perhaps it was her :)20:21
akgranerI blame Laura - wait til I tell her she has a country accent20:22
Pendulumoh dear20:22
* akgraner goes to get her to tell me she will throttle me 20:22
highvoltagemy accent changes to the point where people say it sounds completely different from time to time (and I don't even notice it)20:22
akgraner:-D20:22
highvoltagesometimes people say I sound british, but people at the shops in Canada think I'm from the US, which is weird since I've never been there20:23
highvoltageand sometimes I sound more dutch, and other times just a mixture of a bunch of stuff :)20:23
akgranerthe only comments I get is people try to guess where in the south I am from20:25
akgranerI am waiting for the day when someone asks are you from Jersey...20:25
highvoltageheh, they made fun of Jersey people in the last South Park episode21:18
akgranerhighvoltage, hehe that they were21:51
akgranerjersey shore was also mentioned / made fun of on several shows21:51
