[02:02] <nUboon2Age> jtatum will you be able to make it tonight?
[02:03] <nUboon2Age> jledbetter: do you know if jtatum will be able to join us for Ubuntu Hour Mtn View tonight?  7pm Red Rock Coffee
[02:13] <nUboon2Age> 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] <nUboon2Age> aaditya: ^
[03:00] <nUboon2Age> okay y'all i'm at Red Rock -- first one here (for once)
[03:00] <nUboon2Age> and its 7pm on the dot
[03:02] <pleia2> :)
[03:03] <akk> I won't be there. :( Didn't feel well, decided I needed to come home early.
[03:11] <jtatum> i am home sick :( sorry. i was going to come anyway but don't want to spread this
[03:13] <pleia2> hope you both feel better!
[03:13] <nUboon2Age> ++
[03:14] <rww> heh, popular week for sickness. half of my coworkers are too :(
[03:14] <nUboon2Age> i'm sick too
[03:14] <rww> I've been a little ill all week. Getting better, though.
[03:16] <nUboon2Age> aaditya: are you going to make it tonight?
[03:16] <nUboon2Age> crashsystems: , crashsystems1 ^
[03:34] <nUboon2Age> 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] <pleia2> aww, sorry!
[03:35] <nUboon2Age> January has been tough for me because of very limited access to the internet making it hard to do the PR
[03:35] <pleia2> I've just been too busy lately :(
[03:36] <nUboon2Age> 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] <nUboon2Age> but that didn't happen for this week or last week, so...
[03:37] <nUboon2Age> i want to hook up with SJSU LUG for the SJ Ubuntu Hour
[03:37] <nUboon2Age> here i found their web site: http://lug-sjsu.org/about/
[03:40] <akk> Would be good to get some of the SJSU folks
[03:40] <akk> at least if there's someplace with space ... was the SJ one last week any less crowded than the first one?
[03:41] <nUboon2Age> akk: yeah there was plenty o' space. no prob.
[03:42] <nUboon2Age> the whole center section was empty
[03:42] <nUboon2Age> and if we get there early we can get the space w/ no probl
[03:43] <nUboon2Age> plus i gave the manager an Ubuntu disk last mo and he was very receptive
[03:43] <akk> Great!
[03:43] <nUboon2Age> boy the 'industrial' ambient music they have going right now here is really irritating me. :-/
[03:44] <pleia2> industrial ambient?!
[03:44] <pleia2> :)
[03:49] <nUboon2Age> 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] <nUboon2Age> s/on/one
[03:50] <nUboon2Age> industrial ambient
[03:51] <nUboon2Age> as opposed to industrial punk
[03:51] <nUboon2Age> well 9 minutes left and i'm out
[03:52] <nUboon2Age> now their playing REM, which i like (but its a bit too loud imo)
[03:52] <nUboon2Age> s/their/they're
[03:53] <nUboon2Age> it doesn't help that i'm directly under a speaker.
[03:53] <nUboon2Age> (due to logistics it worked out that way)
[03:54] <nUboon2Age> i don't think i've ever noticed the music here before (which is generally a good sign imo)
[03:54] <pleia2> :)
[03:55] <nUboon2Age> 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] <akk> I don't remember much music at Red Rock either.
[03:56] <akk> I wish restaurants/coffeehouses wouldn't turn up loud music -- I like to talk to people, not shout at them.
[03:57] <nUboon2Age> agreed.  i think they have some theory about making it feel accoustically 'cozy', but i don't care for the practice.
[03:59] <akk> 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] <nUboon2Age> 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] <nUboon2Age> okay, well that's 8pm so goodnight all and we'll chat more later. :-)
[04:00] <akk> 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] <akk> Seeya, nUboon2Age! Sorry I couldn't be there.
[04:01] <nUboon2Age> buenas noches amiga and hope you're feeling better. akk
[04:02] <iheartubuntu> is there a remote webcam there i can see everyone in? :)
[04:03] <iheartubuntu> 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] <iheartubuntu> (the Equator was featured in several Beverly Hills 90210 episodes)
[04:03] <iheartubuntu> it was a cool coffeehouse, now turn asian fusion place
[04:04] <aaditya> hey MarkDude!
[04:09] <MarkDude> Hey there aaditya
[04:10] <MarkDude> iheartubuntu, I think we should use Ustream or justin.tv
[04:14] <iheartubuntu> markdude for what
[04:15] <iheartubuntu> you guys have a cam there?
[04:15] <iheartubuntu> i have no cam here. i should bring one to work tho. still stuck at work
[04:19] <MarkDude> for streaming an event at the same time as they have one in Portland- with Oregon and Washington team
[04:20] <MarkDude> maybe other places, gives it a meeting other folks Ubuntu type deal
[04:20] <MarkDude> Might work if it everyone is at the same type place
[04:20] <MarkDude> maybe even play an online Linux game against each other

[04:41] <iheartubuntu> maybe i can churn one out
[04:42] <iheartubuntu> http://sixty8doors.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2wwxse
[04:46] <MarkDude> I like that one, the stripe is cool
[04:46] <MarkDude> the rest looks like CSI evidence though
[04:47] <MarkDude> Like that wallpaper we had that had the coffee ring on it
[04:48] <MarkDude> That dog is a way cool pic, it would make a great hackergotchi/avatar
[04:50] <iheartubuntu> Bo passed on a couple years ago. that was one of my first digital photos from like 12 years ago?
[04:50] <iheartubuntu> 1999 i think
