| seidos | so i was wandering around haight-ashbury two days ago. there was one section, a sliver of golden gate park, right by the mc donald's that was..."interesting" | 00:51 |
|---|---|---|
| seidos | i should read up on the history...sounds like an attempt at community that failed. | 00:51 |
| nUboon2Age | okay i've picked a place for The Ubuntu Hour: Palo Alto: Antonio’s Nut House 321 California Ave , http://www.antoniosnuthouse.com/ | 04:12 |
| akk | Geez, do site developers never learn about <noscript> tags any more? | 04:14 |
| nUboon2Age | its not gorgeous, but its got LOTS of character (and Beer, burgers, pool, tea and coffee avail next door at Starbucks). akk, aaditya, crashsystems, crashsystems1, jledbetter, jtatum, kdub_, mcgrof, pleia2, Yasumoto. | 04:16 |
| nUboon2Age | i think i'll do it at 6-7pm. | 04:16 |
| nUboon2Age | if that will work for other people | 04:17 |
| pleia2 | I can't get down there that early, but have fun :) | 04:18 |
| nUboon2Age | well i could make it 7-8 then pleia2 | 04:18 |
| pleia2 | see what other people say, I suspect some people will be coming from work around there and earlier will work *shrug* | 04:19 |
| nUboon2Age | pleia2: well don't forget jledbetter will be there and i'm sure she'd love to meet you. | 04:19 |
| pleia2 | when? | 04:19 |
| nUboon2Age | pleia2: come again please | 04:19 |
| nUboon2Age | pleia2: jledbetter will be visiting from Virgina | 04:20 |
| pleia2 | when are you planning to have this ubuntu hour? | 04:20 |
| nUboon2Age | oh, yeah i forgot to say the day. doh! | 04:20 |
| nUboon2Age | Thur Dec. 30th, 7-8 | 04:21 |
| pleia2 | ah ok | 04:21 |
| pleia2 | hmm, no boyfriend at work that day so I can probably take the car | 04:22 |
| nUboon2Age | there was a photo of Mark Zuckerburg at Antonio's Nut House in Time magazine last week. | 04:24 |
| nUboon2Age | apparently the Facebook crowd hangs out there | 04:24 |
| akk | Saw a great post about Zuckerburg (sort of) on Twitter RT'ed by Cat Allman: "Being named Coolest Person of the Year by Time is basically equivalent to being called Astrophysicist of the Year by Cat Fancy Mag" | 04:25 |
| nUboon2Age | oops, i mispelled his name. i guess its Zuckerberg. and the article about him being Time mag's Man of the Year has a photo of him in Antonio's Nut House. | 04:28 |
| nUboon2Age | i enjoyed the movie "Social Network" about the origins of Facebook. | 04:29 |
| seidos | nUboon2Age, a lot of people liked the movie, i think i know enough about facebook's history though without seeing it. i laughed at this article from the onion on zuckerberg today: http://www.theonion.com/articles/mark-zuckerberg-gotta-hand-it-to-the-little-fucker,18633/ it was just so...i dunno, unapologetic. | 04:54 |
| seidos | anyway, night all | 04:54 |
| jledbetter | Wow. That place really does have character. | 14:44 |
| seidos | yeah, if the irc channel is any indication, i don't think noisebridge is for me | 17:22 |
| akk | What's the irc channel like? | 17:26 |
| pleia2 | seidos: it's not, I like noisebridge but their channel is awful :( | 17:32 |
| pleia2 | akk: very immature, frequently offensive | 17:32 |
| * pleia2 stopped joining | 17:32 | |
| seidos | i guess a visit is in order then. perhaps in january | 17:32 |
| pleia2 | seidos: you should come out on a wednesday night some time, that's linux night so you can be greeted by some familiar faces :) | 17:33 |
| seidos | i'm going to be in the union square area today, but i don't know the city well enough to navigate to mission from there | 17:33 |
| seidos | oh, okay, cool pleia2. hopefully i remember that. | 17:34 |
| pleia2 | from there you walk down powell toward market and take BART to 16th and mission | 17:34 |
| seidos | i also want to start going to the zen center in the city. | 17:34 |
| seidos | i am walking pleia2. | 17:34 |
| pleia2 | ah | 17:35 |
| seidos | and i could look it up on google maps, but then i'd have to remember the directions ^_^. i am taking my sweet time, i am in no rush. | 17:36 |
| pleia2 | mission is just one street past market | 17:37 |
| pleia2 | powell > cross market and take 5th street down to mission | 17:37 |
| pleia2 | that'll put you at 5th and mission, noisebridge is 17th and mission | 17:37 |
| sn9 | at least the channel is still better than the mailing lists | 17:45 |
| seidos | oh, your good intentions reminds me of something. | 17:45 |
| seidos | how's everybody doing? | 17:45 |
| seidos | mailing lists worse than the channel? that's a bummer. | 17:46 |
| pleia2 | it's sunny out today, how lovely :) | 17:46 |
| pleia2 | their mailing list is at least sometimes informative (I just skip the bickering threads, as usual) | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | and the announce list is good | 17:47 |
| sn9 | skipping the bickering is possible? | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | I find the channel completely useless | 17:47 |
| seidos | someone was working on some regexp yesterday in the channel | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | sn9: yes, there are several lists I have to do it on ;) | 17:47 |
| seidos | i thought that was kind of interesting | 17:47 |
| seidos | couldn't solve the problem though | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | when I first moved here they only had one op in the channel who would randomly op people, who would also randomly op people, and then kick people for the lulz | 17:48 |
| seidos | i don't know, it's just that "shock jock"/"trollish" vibe...i just don't find it amusing, even though i think that's what they're going for. | 17:49 |
| pleia2 | yeah, same | 17:49 |
| seidos | maybe i'm out of touch now that i'm older | 17:49 |
| pleia2 | my initial reaction was "I am not cool enough for noisebridge" | 17:49 |
| sn9 | sounds like a bot | 17:50 |
| pleia2 | (I still sorta feel that way to some extent, but it helps to know people there) | 17:50 |
| seidos | hmmm, i think my initial reaction was "i should probably shut my mouth and not say anything in this channel", but then i had to go and ruin it and type something | 17:51 |
| seidos | ^_^ | 17:51 |
| pleia2 | oh I don't talk for weeks upon initial join of a channel | 17:51 |
| pleia2 | :) | 17:51 |
| seidos | that's a wise policy. check the logs later? not a bad idea. | 17:52 |
| sn9 | for #ubuntu? | 17:52 |
| pleia2 | I usually like getting a feel for a place before jumping in | 17:52 |
| seidos | gah, #ubuntu, that's probably a good idea. though i'm not sure how useful i will be to end users. i'm still running karmic. | 17:53 |
| seidos | sometimes speaking is a great way to get a feel for the place. | 17:53 |
| pleia2 | sn9: #ubuntu is a support channel, not really the same as a team or social channel like here or #noisebridge | 17:53 |
| pleia2 | seidos: I'm shy :) speaking is *never* a great way for me to do anything! | 17:54 |
| sn9 | i find it to be an absolutely superb way for me to make an ass of myself | 17:54 |
| pleia2 | lol | 17:54 |
| seidos | pleia2, i am dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. it all depends on how smoothly i want societal affair to go. | 17:55 |
| pleia2 | I only break out of wallflower when I have a purpose (like helping run an event, or booth, or am doing a talk) and even then it's very difficult and draining | 17:56 |
| seidos | ah, if that were true, then i'd probably never say anything, which is quite challenging. | 17:56 |
| seidos | i have this silly notion quite often that i actually possess valuable information in my cerebral cortex that should be transmitted. | 17:57 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that's how I used to be, then I learned that I could help with stuff and that it helped overcome the shyness, was hoping that getting more involved would fix my shyness all around | 17:57 |
| akk | "Someone is wrong on the internet!" | 17:58 |
| seidos | how did you learn you could "help with stuff" pleia2? | 17:58 |
| seidos | i have no delusions that anything i do can really be construed as "helping". self-improvement, maybe. but helping? ehhhh | 17:59 |
| pleia2 | seidos: started with work, I realized I wasn't shy at work | 17:59 |
| pleia2 | the lug in philly was always asking people to help out, so I pitched in there | 17:59 |
| pleia2 | eventually became the coordinator for the whole thing | 17:59 |
| seidos | pleia2, ah, i see. we're talking about shyness and i'm talking about practical tasks ^_^. you don't seem shy to me. you just seem...normal. | 18:00 |
| seidos | perhaps your shyness is more a feeling more than a character trait. | 18:00 |
| pleia2 | I think every time we've met I've been playing organizational person | 18:00 |
| pleia2 | if we met at a party... we probably wouldn't have met, I'd be hiding :) | 18:01 |
| seidos | i used to be *very* shy. but school, work, karaoke, dancing, bars, clubs put a stop to that. | 18:01 |
| seidos | well, if we met at a party, we probably wouldn't have met because i tend to just watch people at parties these days. | 18:02 |
| seidos | er, went to a party, not met at a party. | 18:02 |
| seidos | sorry, my mind is on making the meal. i should get on that. | 18:02 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | enjoy | 18:03 |
| seidos | actually, i think i should probably be more shy, or at least reserved. observe and learn, that kind of thing. i kind of went from extremely shy, to extremely vocal, bordering on obnoxious. it's difficult to find the right balance. | 18:16 |
