[01:05]  * Cheri703 is participating in an ARES net on her ham radio
[01:09] <canthus13> You're licensed? Cool...
[01:09]  * canthus13 thought about a ham license, never bothered.
[01:10] <Cheri703> yep, have my technician license, contemplating a general, but haven't done it yet. This year is my 10 year mark of being licensed
[01:10] <canthus13> Nice.  I'd love to get just a basic license...
[01:11] <Cheri703> that'd be the technician, lets you talk on the shorter distance bands, not the further reaching ones
[01:11] <Cheri703> more of the "HT" ones, use the hand-held radios
[01:11] <Cheri703> ht=handy talky
[01:11] <canthus13> It also allows me to run a GSM base station..
[01:12] <canthus13> which is fun for screwing with iPhones.
[01:12] <Cheri703> heh
[01:13] <canthus13> Is morse code still required?
[01:14] <Cheri703> nope, for no levels...technician never needed it, but for a few years now, it's not needed
[01:15] <canthus13> Nice.
[01:15] <canthus13> that's what stopped me initially.
[01:15] <Cheri703> yeah, that's why I didn't get my general back then
[01:16] <canthus13> Basically, all you need is to memorize the answeres to the questions in the pool, eh?
[01:18] <Cheri703> yep, basically
[01:52] <Unit193> package bsdgames has a morse code encoder...
[01:56] <canthus13> Ugh. I'll stay away from morse code, tyvm.
[01:57] <Unit193> All that I can remember: ... --- ...
[01:58] <canthus13> heh.
[05:19] <Unit193> paultag isn't still team contact is he? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam)
[05:19] <Cheri703> nope
[05:19]  * Cheri703 is antsy
[05:19] <Unit193> Why is that?
[05:19] <Cheri703> dunno
[05:19] <paultag> no Unit193 :)
[05:19] <paultag> Unit193: I gave up the team to the next squad
[05:20] <Unit193> paultag: that's what I thought...
[05:20] <Unit193> paultag: you may want to edit the wiki
[05:20] <paultag> Unit193: it's a wiki :)
[05:20] <paultag> Unit193: you do it, dude :)
[05:20] <paultag> a team's a team, and you're on it!
[05:20] <Unit193> can't
[05:20] <paultag> Unit193: why?
[05:21] <Unit193> I don't see the option
[05:22] <paultag> Unit193: are you logged in?
[05:22] <Unit193> paultag: Nope, I can't login because I don't have an account
[05:23] <Unit193> I'm just a random IRC person
[05:23] <paultag> Unit193: you don't have a launchpad account?
[05:24] <Unit193> paultag: No
[05:24] <paultag> Unit193: you should change that as soon as you can
[05:24] <paultag> Unit193: and join the Ohio LoCo
[05:24] <paultag> (and our mailing list)
[05:24] <Unit193> I read the mailing list...
[05:24] <paultag> Unit193: the launchpad mailing list or lists.ubuntu
[05:25] <Unit193> launchpad
[05:25] <Unit193> (archive)
[05:25] <paultag> Unit193: ... so you have a lanchpad account, unless you read archives
[05:25] <paultag> Unit193: dude, just sign up
[05:26] <Unit193> paultag: not trying to sound bad, but I don't see much of a point... (why do I think I'm going to be grilled for that?)
[05:28] <paultag> Unit193: it's how you contribute to Ubuntu
[05:28] <paultag> Unit193: so by not having an LP, you're showing that you don't want to give back ( by reporting bugs &c )
[05:28] <paultag> Unit193: so we track loco members on LP, because LoCo members usually do work to help Ubuntu
[05:28] <paultag> Unit193: wiki editing is part of that
[05:30] <Unit193> paultag: I can't really do all that much... If I can, I help people on here (did so once)
[05:31] <Unit193> so not much to track...
[05:35] <Unit193> Is there a way to hide your last name on there?
[06:02] <Cheri703> rawr rawr
[08:22] <jd3nz> canthus13: About the uname thing, I use a mobile ssh app to view IRC from time to time and accidentally selected that shortcut. Thanks for responding, though.
[08:24] <Unit193> jd3nz: what client? (in screen?)
[12:16] <canthus13> jd3nz: heh.
[15:32] <thafreak> Morning Ohio
[15:33] <thafreak> Anyone else looking forward to squeeze finally being released in Feb?
[16:28] <canthus13> not particularly.
[16:28]  * canthus13 has lenny running just fine.
[16:38] <thafreak> dd over ssh is pretty cool
[16:39] <thafreak> using arcfour (wimpy crypto) helps alot too...
[16:39] <thafreak> I can get close to max bandwidth...
[16:40] <thafreak> ~96Mbs over 100M ethernet...
[17:36] <canthus13> dd over ssh? Heh. that sounds painful.
