[02:02] jtatum will you be able to make it tonight? [02:03] jledbetter: do you know if jtatum will be able to join us for Ubuntu Hour Mtn View tonight? 7pm Red Rock Coffee [02:13] jtatum: okay i went to the RSVP thingy and i see you're signed up, so i'll see ya there. you may beat me there since i'm over in Santa Clara at the moment w/ only mass transit options. [02:13] aaditya: ^ [03:00] okay y'all i'm at Red Rock -- first one here (for once) [03:00] and its 7pm on the dot [03:02] :) [03:03] I won't be there. :( Didn't feel well, decided I needed to come home early. [03:11] i am home sick :( sorry. i was going to come anyway but don't want to spread this [03:13] hope you both feel better! [03:13] ++ [03:14] heh, popular week for sickness. half of my coworkers are too :( [03:14] i'm sick too [03:14] I've been a little ill all week. Getting better, though. [03:16] aaditya: are you going to make it tonight? [03:16] crashsystems: , crashsystems1 ^ [03:34] Wow, i think this is the first time i was on time for the MV meeting and i'll probably be the only one here tonight. :-) [03:35] aww, sorry! [03:35] January has been tough for me because of very limited access to the internet making it hard to do the PR [03:35] I've just been too busy lately :( [03:36] i am hoping that James will jump in on PR for MV, Steve on Palo Alto (which we still have to set a second date for) and someone else for SJ. [03:36] but that didn't happen for this week or last week, so... [03:37] i want to hook up with SJSU LUG for the SJ Ubuntu Hour [03:37] here i found their web site: http://lug-sjsu.org/about/ [03:40] Would be good to get some of the SJSU folks [03:40] at least if there's someplace with space ... was the SJ one last week any less crowded than the first one? [03:41] akk: yeah there was plenty o' space. no prob. [03:42] the whole center section was empty [03:42] and if we get there early we can get the space w/ no probl [03:43] plus i gave the manager an Ubuntu disk last mo and he was very receptive [03:43] Great! [03:43] boy the 'industrial' ambient music they have going right now here is really irritating me. :-/ [03:44] industrial ambient?! [03:44] :) [03:49] there for one 'song' it had all kinds of sounds from everyday life mixed in rhythmically. But i give that on the big thumbs down. [03:50] s/on/one [03:50] industrial ambient [03:51] as opposed to industrial punk [03:51] well 9 minutes left and i'm out [03:52] now their playing REM, which i like (but its a bit too loud imo) [03:52] s/their/they're [03:53] it doesn't help that i'm directly under a speaker. [03:53] (due to logistics it worked out that way) [03:54] i don't think i've ever noticed the music here before (which is generally a good sign imo) [03:54] :) [03:55] Steve forgot about tonight. at least i called him and talked to him for about 15 minutes during the hour to 'redeem' some of the time. [03:56] I don't remember much music at Red Rock either. [03:56] I wish restaurants/coffeehouses wouldn't turn up loud music -- I like to talk to people, not shout at them. [03:57] agreed. i think they have some theory about making it feel accoustically 'cozy', but i don't care for the practice. [03:59] All the really hip crowded popular places seem to be super-loud, so you have to shout. I don't know what people like about that, but apparently they do. [03:59] also people experience sound differently as they age, so what may be 'fun' when you're young may not be a little later on. [04:00] okay, well that's 8pm so goodnight all and we'll chat more later. :-) [04:00] Yep -- I've definitely gotten less able to deal with loud noises, or to understand people talking when there's a lot of ambient noise. [04:00] Seeya, nUboon2Age! Sorry I couldn't be there. [04:01] buenas noches amiga and hope you're feeling better. akk [04:02] is there a remote webcam there i can see everyone in? :) [04:03] there is a place near me called the Equator in Pasadena... they used to have a webcam you could view online and even rotate [04:03] (the Equator was featured in several Beverly Hills 90210 episodes) [04:03] it was a cool coffeehouse, now turn asian fusion place [04:04] hey MarkDude! [04:09] Hey there aaditya [04:10] iheartubuntu, I think we should use Ustream or justin.tv [04:14] markdude for what [04:15] you guys have a cam there? [04:15] i have no cam here. i should bring one to work tho. still stuck at work [04:19] for streaming an event at the same time as they have one in Portland- with Oregon and Washington team [04:20] maybe other places, gives it a meeting other folks Ubuntu type deal [04:20] Might work if it everyone is at the same type place [04:20] maybe even play an online Linux game against each other [04:32] Ubuntu narwhal wallpapers: http://picasaweb.google.com/100804433705878937883/Backgrounds :D [04:36] very pretty [04:38] play backgammon :) muuhaaahaaaaa [04:39] could have been named natty marley if we were in the 70s still [04:41] iheartubuntu, we need a Rasta themed wallpaper called that [04:41] i do have a ubuntu rasta wallpaper tho [04:41] just not natty [04:41] maybe i can churn one out [04:42] http://sixty8doors.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2wwxse [04:46] I like that one, the stripe is cool [04:46] the rest looks like CSI evidence though [04:47] Like that wallpaper we had that had the coffee ring on it [04:48] That dog is a way cool pic, it would make a great hackergotchi/avatar [04:50] Bo passed on a couple years ago. that was one of my first digital photos from like 12 years ago? [04:50] 1999 i think [04:52] yall might like this one.. http://sixty8doors.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/danxns [05:01] I do like that one [05:02] Do I have your permission to use it in slideshow? [05:13] sure! [05:13] haha [05:16] I think I can use it in a talk for SoCal [05:20] sweet [05:20] good luck! [05:21] going home finally [05:21] take care all [05:21] ciao [05:21] poka [05:59] * kdub got sparkfun in teh mail :D === paulproteus_ is now known as paulproteus [18:20] reminder to San Diegans! ubuntu hour tomorrow!
