[00:10] <akk> Woo, small earthquake.
[00:11] <pleia2> OMG!!
[00:11] <pleia2> I FELT IT!!!
[00:11] <pleia2> my first earthquake :D!!!
[00:12] <akk> Congrats pleia2!
[00:12] <akk> :)
[00:12] <pleia2> 11th floor, it was actually quite strong here
[00:12] <akk> Now you're a Real Californian.
[00:12] <pleia2> :)
[00:12] <rww> I didn't :(
[00:12] <akk> 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] <akk> It'll be a few minutes before it shows up on USGS.
[00:13] <pleia2> how exciting
[00:13] <pleia2> I was like "what is that, earthquake? check #ubuntu-us-ca - yay akk!"
[00:13] <pleia2> :)
[00:13] <pleia2> now twitter is... atweet
[00:14] <akk> :)
[00:14] <MarkDude> Its not a *real* earthquake unless it is over a 4.5
[00:14] <akk> Oh, right, I should check twitter.
[00:14] <MarkDude> or if you are in a building like pleia2
[00:14] <pleia2> 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] <pleia2> lol
[00:15] <pleia2> it was bouncy
[00:15] <akk> Woo, 4.4
[00:15] <MarkDude> They can roll, they dont just shake
[00:15] <akk> and closer to me than you -- another Alum Rock one
[00:15] <MarkDude> might have been a real one then
[00:15] <akk> That area has been getting lots of little ones lately.
[00:20] <akk> They've already downgraded it to 4.1, http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71506865.php
[00:20] <akk> USGS tends to do that, the first reports are always higher than the final ones.
[00:20] <akk> 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] <pleia2> yeah, it said 4.4 a few minutes ago on the page
[00:20] <akk> And not really Alum Rock, it's southeast of there, but still along the Calaveras.
[00:20] <akk> http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71506865.php
[00:21] <akk> Wonder if that means the Hayward is getting ready for its Big One? (hope not)
[00:23] <MarkDude> we are all floating on a thin crust over magma- what can ya do?
[00:29] <akk> Wouldn't be so bad except part of the crust is moving <- this way and part is moving -> this way ...
[00:31] <MarkDude> 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] <MarkDude> Like tornadoes would be any better to deal with :)
[00:36] <akk> I'd like to see one of those, from a safe distance.
[00:36]  * MarkDude too
[00:36] <MarkDude> not where I live tho
[00:36] <akk> Also fireflies.
[00:37] <akk> 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] <akk> 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] <MarkDude> Cali team takes a step back in shock that I lived in a trailer
[00:38] <MarkDude> Was there any damage to your building?
[00:41] <akk> From the tornado, or the quake today? No in either case, though.
[00:41] <MarkDude> Cool
[00:48] <ryaxnb> zi felt my earth quake
[00:48] <ryaxnb> nice quake
[00:49] <ryaxnb> so was a 4.1 quake
[00:50] <ryaxnb> wait, was near alum rock
[00:50] <ryaxnb> but south?
[00:50] <ryaxnb> thats very near Felton is it not?
[00:50] <akk> Quite a bit south.
[00:50] <ryaxnb> no wonder was a strong quake, map please>
[00:50] <akk> No, way east of the coast.
[00:50] <akk> South of Mt Hamilton.
[00:50] <ryaxnb> felton not on coast
[00:50] <akk> Pretty close, though.
[00:51] <akk> You can get a map from the url that was pasted earlier.
[00:52] <ryaxnb> yes, thats very close too
[00:52] <ryaxnb> us
[00:52] <ryaxnb> we're north and east of santa cruz
[00:53] <ryaxnb> the quake is south and east of sanjose and north and east of us
[02:45] <Ademan> what's up with dvlug tonight? no one's here...
[02:45]  * MarkDude ended up flaking

[02:47] <MarkDude> we were doing some tests at La Scala last night
[02:51] <Ademan> 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] <MarkDude> Or cleaning orphans or sumthin
[02:56] <akk> heh
[03:24] <seidos> 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] <seidos> proprietary systems make me sad :(
[03:27] <seidos> ah well, wasted enough time on it, time to move on to greener pastures!
[03:27]  * seidos moseys
