jledbetter | Yeah, this place is wild. | 03:46 |
MarkDude | Take pics | 03:48 |
MarkDude | The team needs stuff for social media | 03:49 |
MarkDude | This group is far more dynamic than the uniformed might think | 03:49 |
MarkDude | So we should inform them via stuff we do | 03:50 |
* MarkDude humbly thinks this will help the group grow, which would be awesome :) | 03:50 | |
jledbetter | I agree about photos but not sure how people feel about being captured. Will ask :) | 03:54 |

MarkDude | pleia2, I wish I could be there, but, I need to make sure that quite a few ducks in a row to be ready for CLS, and a talk on the 17th in LUGOD, and FUDcon at the end of the month | 04:45 |
pleia2 | of course :) | 04:45 |
MarkDude | Holy crap I have a lot to do | 04:45 |
pleia2 | just teasing | 04:45 |
* MarkDude has her shirt somewhere to | 04:46 | |
* MarkDude is thinking of asking some groups for more SWAG | 04:46 | |
MarkDude | I can ask more places than when I am employed :D | 04:46 |
MarkDude | Maybe see if we can get MS to pay for a geeknic or two | 04:47 |
MarkDude | YokoZar, are you in the living yet? | 05:01 |
MarkDude | Have you folks taken any pics at the Hour yet? | 05:03 |
* MarkDude is not saying we need live streaming or anything | 05:04 | |
pleia2 | jledbetter took some on her fancy camera | 05:04 |
pleia2 | here's one with no people: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/5308217691/ | 05:04 |
pleia2 | :D | 05:04 |
pleia2 | hehe | 05:04 |
pleia2 | http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/5308275687/ | 05:10 |
jtatum | ooh | 05:15 |
jtatum | we should do live streaming | 05:15 |
jtatum | maybe next time... i think i could make taht happen on ustream or something | 05:15 |
jtatum | whatever the foss ustream is | 05:15 |
MarkDude | Jono uses Ustream since it is the best option that works | 05:18 |
MarkDude | No real FOSS options | 05:18 |
pleia2 | yeah :\ | 05:18 |
* MarkDude is going to be trying to stream the Severed Fifth show on the 22nd | 05:19 | |
MarkDude | That flying pig is cool | 05:20 |
pleia2 | ok, heading home now :) | 05:22 |

Eureka | wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Partimus edited | 08:16 |
jledbetter | I now have internet. Hello. | 18:55 |
jledbetter | http://www.flickr.com/photos/digifoo/5308649517/ | 19:06 |
MarkDude | Is anyone up for either helping with live stream The Severed Fifth show in Oakland on the 22nd or helping record the video to be edited later? http://www.severedfifth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=139 | 22:27 |
seidos | actually, that reminds me, i need to listen to the music to see if there is a song i like | 22:31 |
MarkDude | Good luck :) | 22:33 |
MarkDude | Those of you about to rock, we salute you | 22:33 |
MarkDude | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2424094/6%20-%20Forgotten%20Heroes.mp3 | 22:34 |
MarkDude | Best clip of it IMHO | 22:34 |
MarkDude | That was the point I knew it would be easy to promote his stuff | 22:34 |
seidos | what, no bit torrent link on severedfifth.com ? | 22:35 |
* MarkDude would still promote it if it sucked, it would just be much harder :) | 22:35 | |
MarkDude | Just direct download | 22:35 |
seidos | direct download? what's that? | 22:36 |
seidos | why would you promote something that sucked? | 22:36 |
seidos | i have some sucky stuff that *i* did, and i wouldn't torment people with it | 22:36 |
MarkDude | loyalty | 22:37 |
seidos | well, i tormented a friend of mine, but not with the worst of it | 22:37 |
seidos | MarkDude, are you a white cosmic dog? | 22:37 |
* MarkDude would not present a turd as anything else but a turd | 22:37 | |
MarkDude | seidos, the answer to that question is *Mu* | 22:37 |
seidos | MarkDude, not Pi, but *Mu*? | 22:38 |
MarkDude | Yes | 22:38 |
MarkDude | There is a giant Mu in Walnut Creek near where we have geeknics, its pretty cool | 22:39 |
seidos | mu's look sad | 22:40 |
MarkDude | Mu can express the follies of mankind | 22:46 |
MarkDude | That most certainly can contain humor | 22:47 |
MarkDude | and of course sadness | 22:47 |
seidos | "seidos" can express the four noble truths. | 22:47 |
* MarkDude chooses to look at the positive side of things | 22:47 | |
seidos | i choose to look at reality | 22:47 |
MarkDude | seidos, of course, I do not invalidate any of your beliefs or views :) | 22:48 |
seidos | never claimed you did MarkDude | 22:48 |
seidos | i don't invalidate any of yours either | 22:48 |
* MarkDude might suggest a difference between looking at the reality, and looking for the less savory aspects of a situation. Those will *always* be there. Finding them is not always a productive skill for me to dwell in. | 22:50 | |
MarkDude | I know :) | 22:50 |
seidos | i don't recommend dwelling, whether positive or negative. | 22:50 |
MarkDude | Or, knowing there are always flaws differs from looking for them | 22:51 |
seidos | well, i suppose that isn't accurate | 22:51 |
seidos | during meditation rapture is supposed to be a mark | 22:51 |
seidos | though i tend to skip that part | 22:51 |
MarkDude | Well some Buddhists view + and - as pretty much the same | 22:51 |
seidos | flaws are superficial enough that they need not be searched for | 22:51 |
MarkDude | +1 | 22:52 |
seidos | i don't think they should be dwelled on. no point in dwelling on the flaws...well...unless you have a goal to it | 22:52 |
seidos | then i suppose it could be worth it | 22:53 |
seidos | as he scratches his head though there is no itch | 22:53 |
MarkDude | ^^^ that is the *key* if you ask me. | 22:54 |
MarkDude | Pushing through negativity makes sense if there *is* a purpose that will help you in the long run\ | 22:54 |
MarkDude | even if you did not laugh, do you understand my answer? | 22:55 |
seidos | yes and no is mu | 22:56 |
MarkDude | In a way it is a Schrödinger's cat of philosophy | 22:56 |
MarkDude | You are correct both answers do exist in the answer, it acknowledges them both. | 22:57 |
MarkDude | Soon, when you are able to grab the pebble from my hand, you will be ready to leave for your Journeys, Grasshopper. | 22:58 |
MarkDude | You have already mastered walking on layers of rice paper without breaking any of them :) | 22:58 |
seidos | and when you know the four noble truths, you'll be able to leave on yours | 22:59 |
* MarkDude smiles and thanks you for your truth | 23:00 | |
seidos | it is not my truth. i do not own it. | 23:00 |
MarkDude | You are a vessel that carries it, minutiae in details of grammar are distractions | 23:01 |
MarkDude | Your path in 2011 will be a great one. | 23:01 |
seidos | what isn't a distraction? | 23:02 |
MarkDude | always a student/teacher, dont forget the other half of that equation | 23:02 |
seidos | no word for student/teacher | 23:03 |
seidos | should be | 23:03 |
MarkDude | yes there are lots | 23:03 |
seidos | but that might be deemed a minutiae of grammar | 23:03 |
seidos | such as? | 23:03 |
MarkDude | yin/yang for one, Dao for another | 23:03 |
seidos | might as well say Mu. | 23:04 |
MarkDude | Yes, because it answers both questions at once | 23:04 |
seidos | no, because it is not a true pointer to a teacher/student student label | 23:04 |
MarkDude | Just as the Master can never stay enlightened, if the do not do the other side and chop wood, carry water | 23:05 |
seidos | no, because if the master stops chopping wood and carrying water, they will die. | 23:05 |
MarkDude | If those are viewed as one, instead of two items, it becomes an answer of how to do both best | 23:05 |
seidos | but i suppose it depends on what you believe happens after death | 23:06 |
MarkDude | Some Masters can forget that they need to continue to learning | 23:06 |
MarkDude | so they most also be a student, to be the best teacher | 23:06 |
seidos | i don't disagree. which is why i thought there should be a specific word for teacher/student. | 23:08 |
MarkDude | It has no start or end, the only piece you need to answer using that Truth of Life is to figure out where your are in life now | 23:08 |
seidos | google doesn't have a recommendation -_- | 23:09 |
MarkDude | Bali has no word for Art, it is inherent in most things they do | 23:09 |
MarkDude | Google switched their motto a while ago | 23:09 |
MarkDude | Now it is Try sorta to not be evil | 23:09 |
seidos | have you been to Bali? | 23:09 |
MarkDude | No, but, I will go at some point | 23:10 |
* MarkDude has friends that have been | 23:10 | |
seidos | i don't plan on going | 23:10 |
seidos | and why do you say this about Google? | 23:11 |
MarkDude | I admire that some things can become so entwined in a community, that it need not be stated | 23:11 |
seidos | an appreciation for silence, interesting | 23:11 |
