[06:18] <Juzzy> ditto
[15:35] <wrst> morning chris4585
[15:46] <wrst> hello rcs
[15:47] <rcs> howdy!
[15:48] <rcs> first time in irc, and checking it out for the upcoming meeting; looks like it works and I'll try to see y'all then.
[15:48] <wrst> cool rcs how are you doing?
[15:49] <rcs> rockin the meerkat, and have been an ubuntu regular for some time; happy new year!  how are you doing?
[15:51] <rcs> freenode node selections are weird; clicking on wrst shows your server Newark, NJ and mine London, England but am in TN.
[15:52] <wrst> rcs: you might want an irc client on your desktop it makes things a lot easier
[15:53] <wrst> but i'm doing great i'm just avoiding the rain today!
[15:53] <rcs> any favorite clients wrst?
[15:54] <rcs> (I just went to http://webchat.freenode.net/ in chrome)
[15:54] <rcs> howdy chris4585
[15:55] <wrst> well if you use pidgin or empathy they have irc as part of them, they aren't the best in my book but aren't bad, xchat is good and quassel also is pretty good
[15:55] <wrst> rcs: did you just join the team?
[15:56] <rcs> joined some moons ago but never had a working IRC; saw the announcement in email and tried again, won
[15:56] <wrst> ha ha cool
[15:57] <wrst> but any of those clients are good and probably a little more reliable than the web chat
[15:57] <rcs> thx, I'll check those out!
[15:58] <wrst> in the repos so easy to get through software center
[15:59] <rcs> thx; installed things before but connection strings never made sense before somehow; pretty obvious when I came in this time; musta had a "vista moment" ;-)
[16:00] <wrst> ha ha :)
[16:01] <rcs> meeting announcement came through with link to add to calendar, which was helpful
[16:01] <wrst> that was cool, way to go cyberanger !
[16:02] <rcs> [I have never used Vista.  Personally Ubuntu has been primary computer since before 7.10, but EVERYTHING has worked well since then]
[16:03] <rcs> are you a chapter member, and if so, how long?
[16:03] <wrst> i think i have been around here for about 2 years or so rcs
[16:03] <rcs> active group wrst?
[16:04] <wrst> yes pretty active
[16:04] <wrst> what part of the state are you in rcs ?
