[00:10] Woo, small earthquake. [00:11] OMG!! [00:11] I FELT IT!!! [00:11] my first earthquake :D!!! [00:12] Congrats pleia2! [00:12] :) [00:12] 11th floor, it was actually quite strong here [00:12] Now you're a Real Californian. [00:12] :) [00:12] I didn't :( [00:12] It was small here (I was going to guess 3.8) but it lasted longer than I'd expect from something that small, so maybe it was bigger and closer to SF. [00:12] It'll be a few minutes before it shows up on USGS. [00:13] how exciting [00:13] I was like "what is that, earthquake? check #ubuntu-us-ca - yay akk!" [00:13] :) [00:13] now twitter is... atweet [00:14] :) [00:14] Its not a *real* earthquake unless it is over a 4.5 [00:14] Oh, right, I should check twitter. [00:14] or if you are in a building like pleia2 [00:14] http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71506865.php [00:15] * MarkDude feels that pleia2 has a blog post she will be writing [00:15] lol [00:15] it was bouncy [00:15] Woo, 4.4 [00:15] They can roll, they dont just shake [00:15] and closer to me than you -- another Alum Rock one [00:15] might have been a real one then [00:15] That area has been getting lots of little ones lately. [00:20] They've already downgraded it to 4.1, http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71506865.php [00:20] USGS tends to do that, the first reports are always higher than the final ones. [00:20] The mail they sent me says 4.4 in the subject line, but when I go to the page it says 4.1. [00:20] yeah, it said 4.4 a few minutes ago on the page [00:20] And not really Alum Rock, it's southeast of there, but still along the Calaveras. [00:20] http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71506865.php [00:21] Wonder if that means the Hayward is getting ready for its Big One? (hope not) [00:23] we are all floating on a thin crust over magma- what can ya do? [00:29] Wouldn't be so bad except part of the crust is moving <- this way and part is moving -> this way ... [00:31] Well yes, and there is that slipping into the ocean thing [00:33] * MarkDude knows that is not how plate tectonics, subduction, etc work [00:34] Like tornadoes would be any better to deal with :) [00:36] I'd like to see one of those, from a safe distance. [00:36] * MarkDude too [00:36] not where I live tho [00:36] Also fireflies. [00:37] There was a tornado in Sunnyvale a while back! (maybe 7 years ago?) [00:37] * MarkDude lived in a trailer in Concord and we had 74+mph winds [00:37] I was in Mountain View but we couldn't see it from our office windows. [00:37] * MarkDude saw parts of the trailer blow off [00:38] Cali team takes a step back in shock that I lived in a trailer [00:38] Was there any damage to your building? [00:41] From the tornado, or the quake today? No in either case, though. [00:41] Cool [00:48] zi felt my earth quake [00:48] nice quake [00:49] so was a 4.1 quake [00:50] wait, was near alum rock [00:50] but south? [00:50] thats very near Felton is it not? [00:50] Quite a bit south. [00:50] no wonder was a strong quake, map please> [00:50] No, way east of the coast. [00:50] South of Mt Hamilton. [00:50] felton not on coast [00:50] Pretty close, though. [00:51] You can get a map from the url that was pasted earlier. [00:52] yes, thats very close too [00:52] us [00:52] we're north and east of santa cruz [00:53] the quake is south and east of sanjose and north and east of us [02:45] what's up with dvlug tonight? no one's here... [02:45] * MarkDude ended up flaking [02:46] I was there yesterday [02:46] will be there tomorrow [02:46] what's tomorrow? and isn't today friday? or am I nuts? [02:47] * MarkDude is meeting jono to see about getting set up to stream his show on the 22nd [02:47] we were doing some tests at La Scala last night [02:51] grantbow: ping! [02:56] * MarkDude thinks his volunteering down at the shelter may have taken extra long. I think he is putting bows on kitties today [02:56] Or cleaning orphans or sumthin [02:56] heh [03:24] i'm trying to get this silly hp media lcd tv working with ubuntu, but it doesn't look like it's going to work [03:24] proprietary systems make me sad :( [03:27] ah well, wasted enough time on it, time to move on to greener pastures!
