[05:13] <jtatum> MarkDude: i had talked to aaditya about possibly doing a related topic in december. if you have a venue for it i'd give it again. maybe at one of the east bay lugs?
[05:15] <jtatum> biosshadow: so much yahoo :) that's a neat area though. santa clara/san joseish?

[09:32] <dragon> I work in the building next to Yahoo! at Great America. ;)
[09:32] <dragon> Maybe we're in the same building.
[16:53] <jdeslip> pleia2: I'm guessing it is no colder in New England than what you left here!  Record lows today all over Bay Area
[16:54] <akk> brrrrr
[16:55] <akk> So pleia2's leaving sucked all the warmth out of the state? pleia2, come back soon!
[16:57] <jledbetter> jtatum is out of the state too. And it's nice and warm in Virginia (where he went) ;) Muhahahhaahhaa!
[17:00] <jussi> its -12 here today :(
[17:13] <MarkDude> jussi, isnt that normal for you tho?
[17:13] <jussi> MarkDude: yes, but doesnt change its coldness :(
[17:13] <MarkDude> I looked in the birdbath- there was ice
[17:14] <jussi> and it got colder, I went and looked and its -14 now :/
[17:16] <MarkDude> Reminds me of living in the Pacific Northwest
[17:16] <MarkDude> 1st time I was walking around and the grass made a crucnhing noise- it took me a bit to figure out what it was
[17:17] <MarkDude> It has snowed where I live in California 3 times only
[17:20] <akk> 2-3 times for me too, but somehow it's always when I'm away, and I hear it snowed at home. Hmph.
[17:20] <MarkDude> It snowed in Lafayette for a whole 5 minutes once, stayed on the ground for a whole 15 minutes
[17:29] <jussi> well you are all welcome to come visit me :D
[17:30]  * akk grabs 4-5 layers of sweater/jacket before hopping on the plane, and maybe an electric vest :)
[17:32] <jussi> hehe
[17:33] <akk> What I really wish I could get are electric gloves. I always wanted something like that for motorcycling and astronomy.
[17:33] <akk> My hands get so cold.
[17:37] <jussi> heh
[17:39] <MarkDude> Those handwarmer things are great for times like this
[17:40] <MarkDude> jussi, you must love when Californians freak out when it hits 30 degrees- or 0 Celsius
[17:40] <jussi> heeh
[17:41] <outofjungle> dragon: ping
[17:42] <dragon> outofjungle: pong
[17:43] <outofjungle> dragon, are you interested in ski/boarding this friday?
[17:43] <dragon> outofjungle: sounds exciting, yes
[17:43] <MarkDude> dragon, did you ever find that door handle?
[17:44] <dragon> MarkDude: yes, and they attached a new one there that doesn't come off that easily.
[17:44] <dragon> jussi: I'm assuming you mean -12 Celsius :)
[17:44] <MarkDude> So I will have to throw another door handle form another room off the balcony next time ?
[17:45] <jussi> yes, of course
[17:45]  * MarkDude is an American dammit.
[17:45] <outofjungle> awsome dragon, I will txt or email you the details.. MarkDude, are you intersted in ski/boarding this friday too?
[17:45] <akk> Jon Carroll had a funny article last week about temps when he lived in Chicago for a while (he's a California boy)
[17:45]  * MarkDude has a date this weekend
[17:45] <akk> seeing a thermometer that read "1", saying "1 is not a temperature" and another California nearby says "Maybe it'll hit 2 tomorrow"
[17:46] <MarkDude> outofjungle, she is shinier than either you or dragon :D
[17:46] <MarkDude> No offense
[17:46] <outofjungle> hahaha
[17:47] <MarkDude> akk lol
[17:47] <outofjungle> MarkDude: a bottle of Jameson is shiny :P
[17:48]  * dragon is now offended.
[17:48] <dragon> Shinier than a dragon? Really?
[17:48] <MarkDude> Yes tis true
[17:49] <MarkDude> I might see it diffently if I liked dudes
[17:49]  * MarkDude likes chicks tho 
[17:49] <MarkDude> :D
[17:49] <dragon> MarkDude: I hope she's a Homo Sapien, not a Pygoscelis Papua or something.
[17:50] <MarkDude> Theres a whole backstory with this woman- (human) I will tell you the story sometime - when it is not logged :)
[17:50] <outofjungle> dragon: who cares, MarkDude has his penguin suit
[17:51] <MarkDude> And damn I look good in it
[17:51] <dragon> Penguin suit saves the date!
[17:51]  * MarkDude cant walk by a mirror with stopping to admire - when I wear it
[17:51] <akk> Maybe not best if it's a first date.
[17:52] <MarkDude> akk, we have known each other for a few years, she knows what she is getting into
[17:52] <MarkDude> And still she proceeds...
[17:52] <MarkDude> :)
[17:52] <akk> Brave girl. :)
[17:52] <outofjungle> someone give MarkDude a case of rockstar for the weekend :)
[17:53] <MarkDude> lol
[17:53] <MarkDude> She would be cool with the suit, she is real mellow tho, so sh would not dig the rockstar thing
[17:55] <dragon> MarkDude: do you have a spare suit for her?
[17:56] <akk> And a volleyball you can pass back and forth from your feet to hers, like an egg?
[17:59] <outofjungle> lol
[17:59] <dragon> Is the date on land or underwater?
[18:00] <outofjungle> hope the suit helps to "breaks the ice"
[18:03] <MarkDude> lol
[18:03] <MarkDude> The egg pass would be a good way to pass some time- if needed
[18:05] <MarkDude> I spent some time talking with Nixie about making some his and hers penguin suits
[18:37] <dragon> Sexy Penguins?
[19:06] <MarkDude> Yes.
[19:06] <MarkDude> Have not figured out the details yet, but a Penguin Mob would be fully epic
[19:06] <dragon> I'm in.
[19:13] <MarkDude> Well let me clarify
[19:13] <MarkDude> ALL penguins are sexy, at least to me
[19:14] <MarkDude> and a few others
[19:14] <MarkDude> Some kind of extra sexy tho. somewhere between PG-13 and R, but, still classy :)
[19:17] <MarkDude> We need to restart the GK wiki for planning some events
[19:17]  * MarkDude is not putting it back up until the spam thing wont happen
[19:37] <dragon> MarkDude: Why not require login for editing the wiki and restrict registration to admins?
[19:37] <MarkDude> Well yes
[19:37] <dragon> MarkDude: I can help out with that. I've done MediaWiki in past.
[19:38] <MarkDude> Are you volunteering if I give you ftp to set it up?
[19:38] <dragon> SSH, please.
[19:38] <MarkDude> cool.
[19:38] <MarkDude> PMing you login info
[19:38] <dragon> Email preferred, PM ok.

[19:43] <MarkDude> as Community Manager
[19:45] <MarkDude> Yay for Sara, she said she would come to some FOSS events here, we need to invite her, she lives in the Valley I think
[19:51] <MarkDude> dragon, you know Abbas Zaidi
[19:51] <MarkDude> ?
[19:51] <dragon> MarkDude: the name is quite familiar. Something to do with Google?
[19:52] <dragon> oh, VMWare.
[19:58] <MarkDude> He may have the hookup for a meeting spot in the City for Jan - Feb
[19:59]  * MarkDude is helping him with the CLS dinner at the Bohemian Loft
[19:59] <MarkDude> Nixie may be the hostess
[19:59] <MarkDude> Master Wang may lead the group in a Tea Ceremony
[20:00] <MarkDude> ^^^ by far one of the coolest sentences I have ever typed on IRC
[20:00] <MarkDude> lol
[20:00] <outofjungle> for dragon: http://blog.flickr.net/en/2010/11/24/let-there-be-dragons/
[20:02] <pleia2> wow, in the 40s in sf, chilly :)

[20:03] <pleia2> weather.com says 49 in sf, 43 here
[20:03] <pleia2> so a little chillier, but not by much!
[20:03] <MarkDude> It is expected where you are
[20:03] <pleia2> yeah
[20:03] <MarkDude> People are freaking out here
[20:03] <pleia2> hehe
[20:03] <MarkDude> Like chicken little style
[20:04]  * MarkDude is glad he did not go to work today
[20:04] <MarkDude> idiots here cant drive with icy cold conditions
[20:05] <MarkDude> pleia2, glad to hear that TSA did not get to 2nd base with you :D
[20:05] <MarkDude> yay for metal detectors
[20:05] <pleia2> MarkDude: thanks :)
[20:06] <seidos> hey MarkDude, since you're not going to work today, if you have some free time these videos are pretty cool:  http://www.youtube.com/user/theRSAorg#p/c/39BF9545D740ECFF/0/u6XAPnuFjJc
[20:07] <seidos> i like the "tragedy and farce" videos
[20:07] <seidos> correction:  video
[20:07] <dragon> MarkDude: Bohemian Loft looks interesting. I'm probably available to volunteer for CLS as well.
[20:08] <dragon> outofjungle: nice pics!
[20:15] <MarkDude> Some people are meeting there tonight - but I cant make it
[20:16] <dragon> MarkDude: what's the event?
[20:18] <MarkDude> Planning for the dinner
[20:18] <MarkDude> Abbas had hoped I could make it- but I am having vehicle issues
[20:26] <MarkDude> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/severed-fifth-live-in-the-studio
[20:26] <MarkDude> Jono is doing a Ustream now, talking about his loud music
[20:26] <dragon> I was hoping to see the whole band.
[20:26] <MarkDude> Dec 3rd in the City
[20:26] <dragon> cool
[20:26] <MarkDude> at club Cocomo
[21:08] <MarkDude> dragon, Im eating the last of the chick peas, mmm mmm good
[22:11] <dragon> MarkDude: glad you like it
[22:11] <MarkDude> Good stuff
[22:11] <MarkDude> My new gotchi >>> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2424094/FuManchuGotchi%20sm.png
[22:12] <akk> You look so evil.
[22:13] <MarkDude> I do?
[22:13] <dragon> I came to remember the day after that I forgot to add the most interesting of the spices to the chick peas.
[22:13] <dragon> It'd have been 3x epic.
[22:14] <MarkDude> Still worked tho
[22:14] <dragon> yep, it was nice
[22:16] <akk> Any android experts? Or is that too off-topic?
[22:17]  * akk is wondering if an android 1.6 tablet would be a stupid choice at this point, too old and orphaned
[22:17] <dragon> akk: I'm no expert, but might be able to Chime in.
[22:17] <dragon> akk: Has anyone installed a newer version of Android on it through unofficial means?
[22:18] <akk> It looks like no. I haven't found any references to anyone upgrading android on any tablet beyond manufacturer-provided firmware.
[22:19] <nhaines> akk: that would be a horrible idea and you shouldn't do it.
[22:19] <akk> That sounds pretty clear! Thanks, nhaines.
[22:20] <dragon> We're looking forward to Android 3.0 tablets in very near future.
[22:20] <akk> Darn, since there don't seem to be any 2.x devices in the size range I'd like.
[22:21] <akk> I want a 4-5" screen, and the Archos 5 was looking interesting, but it's Android 1.6.
[22:22] <nhaines> I'm excited because it looks like I'm going to get to write another in print magazine article.
[22:23] <akk> woo nhaines -- what magazine?
[23:51] <nhaines> akk: Linux Identity Magazine again.
