[02:28] <kdub> i've heard worse excuses to drink O:)
[15:05] <jamie> morning
[15:05] <jamie_> morning
[16:20] <nhaines> jamie_: good morning.
[16:24] <jamie_> morning nhaines
[19:11] <MarkDude> DarkwingDuck, you have any ideas on planning a SoCal geeknic yet? Can we get nhaines involved- that would be cool. Anyone else down south interested?
[19:12]  * MarkDude says lets get some ideas- then take it to the ML
[19:12] <MarkDude> And have a plan for Scale
[20:14] <MarkDude> jedahan, I forgot about his calendar- it has all sorts of events that might be good
[20:14] <MarkDude> http://calendars.techvenue.com/cgi-bin/techvenue.pl?CalendarName=USValley
[20:22] <MarkDude> jedahan, Feb 19th- good event - http://superhappydevhouse.org/w/page/16345504/FrontPage
[20:37] <seidos> hey MarkDude, what would it take to turn a mediabox into a kind of console system?
[21:36] <jledbetter> MarkDude, That looks awesome. Have you been?
[21:38] <MarkDude> Not to devhouse yet
[21:38] <MarkDude> lots of cool people I know there tho
[21:38] <jledbetter> Nice. :)
[21:38] <MarkDude> that tech venue calendar has all sorts of cool stuff on it
[21:38] <MarkDude> Ubuntu Hours should be there as well
[21:39] <MarkDude> IMHO
[21:39] <MarkDude> There is a cool social media thing in SJ tonight
[21:39] <MarkDude> SM for change or sumthin
[21:39] <pleia2> I always forget to add them to the bay area linux events calendar
[21:40] <jledbetter> TechVenue - Embody your healing? What in the world.
[21:40] <MarkDude> pleia2, there is no one to yell at folks with the TV calnedar ;)
[21:40] <MarkDude> 10% of stuff there is crap - at least
[21:41] <jledbetter> This is so hard to read.
[21:41] <MarkDude> right click- open in new window- the way it is laid out - is funky
[21:42] <seidos> multiplayer cake mania ^_^
[21:42] <MarkDude> seidos, what sort of console were you thinkin' of doin'?
[21:43] <seidos> MarkDude, none.  no $ for the hardware.
[21:43] <seidos> well, i suppose i could buy one...hmmmm
[21:43] <seidos> i would need to get the console and then at least 2 controllers.
[21:43]  * MarkDude did not know if you meant console gaing
[21:43] <MarkDude> gaming
[21:43] <seidos> i wonder if xbox controllers could be used to work.
[21:44] <seidos> MarkDude, yeah, console gaming.  sorry.  what other kinds of consoles are there?
[21:44] <MarkDude> yes- I think they can be modded
[21:44]  * MarkDude has also heard folks say console in relation to TV also
[21:44] <seidos> so, can i set up a mediabox as a nintendo gaming console?
[21:44] <seidos> ohhhh
[21:44] <seidos> i've never heard that one
[21:45] <MarkDude> Dude, you  can set up a P2 for doing that
[21:45] <MarkDude> SNES
[21:45] <MarkDude> in the repos
[21:45] <MarkDude> if it is very old hardware- use puppy linux
[21:45] <seidos> yeah, i have an old dell system
[21:45] <seidos> it only has 130mb of ram
[21:46] <MarkDude> spend your $ on a contraoller or 2
[21:46] <seidos> i should play with it when i get back home
[21:46] <seidos> well, i was thinking more in terms of marketing
[21:46] <MarkDude> Puppy- try the Arcade version
[21:46] <seidos> profitability
[21:46] <MarkDude> legalities with that area tho
[21:46] <seidos> there isn't a killer app though
[21:46] <seidos> but i was thinking if there was a killer app, like multiplayer cake mania or something
[21:46] <MarkDude> owning roms requires the cartridge
[21:47] <seidos> a foss version that is, then the mediabox would sell more
[21:47] <MarkDude> technically that is ;)
[21:47] <seidos> i'll see what i can do on my own
[21:47]  * MarkDude wanted to do that a while ago- could not - so I need folks to donate old games
[21:47] <seidos> it sounds like a software problem, and price point problem
[21:48] <seidos> MarkDude, it depends what you mean by "owning"
[21:48]  * MarkDude puts hands in pockets, looks up 
[21:49] <MarkDude> and starts whistling
[21:51] <seidos> i think you just "owned" me
[21:56]  * MarkDude is the PR person for non-profits
[21:56] <MarkDude> plausible deniability is very important
[21:56] <MarkDude> :D
[21:56] <seidos> ^_^
