[00:57] <bradm> blahdeblah: sure, whats up?
[02:27] <ikt> didn't quite know how to say hope you don't die to queensland people :/
[02:29] <Phlosten> better to say 'hold onto something that is really solid'
[02:37] <ikt> of course flash is messing up :(
[02:57] <ikt> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/caillins13
[03:00] <Phlosten> 2500 viewers, holy moly
[03:00] <Phlosten> our Collinsville office just lost power, as did the town
[03:01] <Phlosten> backup power on mobile tower is only 8 hours
[03:01] <Phlosten> smite thee down QLDers, mother nature has it in for you lot

[03:41] <ikt> borederline want to go back onto my windows system
[03:42] <ikt> I cannot full screen the ustream stream while having the abc24 stream at the same time

[09:18] <ikt> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/speakers-and-sound-gtk
[09:18] <ikt> did this ever get made?
[09:20] <head_victim> Can't say I've seen anything like it
[09:32] <ikt> ah bwright joined the beginners team
[09:32] <ikt> I'm not the token Australian any more :(
[09:35] <head_victim> Haha I'm in there to :D
[09:35] <head_victim> No idea where kermiac went though. That was odd
[09:40] <ikt> oh yeah
[09:40] <ikt> he was there as well
[09:40] <ikt> man I miss kermaic :(
[09:40] <ikt> could really use his leadership to run a bug jam
[09:41] <head_victim> I'd more than happy to help out but I don't know nearly enough about bugs to do too much on that topic sorry
[09:41] <ikt> I sort of know what's going on
[09:41] <ikt> but I just don't put in enough hours to have it down solid
[09:42] <ikt> and yeah I've been pretty cynical about the web cam thing
[09:42] <ikt> it's gonna hit at like 1am and the power will go out, so we'll not see much :X
[09:42] <ikt> I ain't staying up till 1am to watch a blank screen
[09:44] <head_victim> Hah yeah
[10:19] <head_victim> Oh and I'm happy to report we only had 2 bounces of the 14 people who signed up, apparently one is over quota on their uni inbox and the other I can't read the writing well enough to get it to the correct address.
[10:23] <ikt> 14 people signed up to?
[10:23] <head_victim> On the open day we had a "sign up and we'll send you 1 spam email" and 14 people wanted to know about the team
[10:23] <head_victim> It was in case people didn't want to take flyers and stuff and just wanted to find out more info while they're at their own computer
[10:27] <ikt> oh yeah
[10:27] <ikt> that's great to hear :)
[10:34] <head_victim> Yeah can't hurt that's for sure :D
[10:35] <head_victim> My goal over the next month is to write up a wiki page with all the stuff I used and learnt so that it's easier for others to run events in their local area.
[10:36] <ikt> sweet
[10:37] <dns-xo> hi
[10:37]  * head_victim waves to dns-xo 
[10:38] <ikt> heya dns-xo 
[10:38] <ikt> what you up to?
[10:38] <head_victim> ikt: I probably can't afford the trip to Ballarat for the next lca but at least I can help someone else set up a reasonable stand. That and there are heaps of computer markets and stuff people can hold stands at. Uni open days, local school fetes, etc.
[10:38] <ikt> exactly and we need to bulk our wiki up a bit
[10:39] <head_victim> Yep, with good info though not just stuff that's already available elsewhere
[10:39] <dns-xo> i have family there so it should be cheap for me
[10:40] <head_victim> The travel and accomodation would kill me, I barely scraped up enough for the hobbyist ticket :/
[10:42] <ikt> gotta get a job
[10:42] <ikt> high paying job
[10:42] <ikt> millions of dollars
[10:42] <ikt> and then pay for all of us
[10:42] <dns-xo> you could volunteer, that is free*
[10:47] <head_victim> dns-xo: still gotta get there and find somewhere to stay :P
[11:16] <praetorian> head_victim: get a job :P
[11:16] <head_victim> I have one :D
[11:16] <head_victim> It's just not in IT :/
[11:16] <praetorian> ok
[11:17] <praetorian> get a /better/ one
[11:17] <head_victim> Hah yeah working on that this week actually
[11:17] <head_victim> It's sad when even government jobs look really appealing
[11:21] <head_victim> praetorian: you hiring?
[11:21] <praetorian> unsure
[11:21]  * praetorian looks
[11:21] <praetorian> but they aint in lqd

[13:24] <sagaci> Morning
[13:24] <head_victim> LIES
[13:27] <head_victim> How was your trip home, uneventful I hope?
[13:31] <sagaci> Even though i was getting the hang of brisbane's public transport system, it was such a relief to be back in sydney looking at the wreck of a train map sydney has
[13:33] <head_victim> I haven't used Brisbane public transport for over 10 years :/
[13:40] <jfer> head_victim, nice work on the report.
[13:40] <head_victim> ?
[13:40] <head_victim> I haven't done one yet :P
[13:40] <jfer> for lca open day
[13:40] <head_victim> If you're referring to the PDF elky did one up
[13:40] <head_victim> (I'm madly writing down details for the wiki now)
[13:40] <jfer> oh i thought that you worked on it
[13:41] <head_victim> Nah I'm not that artistic ;) Wiki styles is about as good as I get.
[13:42] <jfer> ah ok. well i am sure that you will do a good job with that
[13:43] <jfer> is blahdeblah there?
[13:43] <head_victim> It's a bit late for him but pinging him might wake him :D
[13:43] <jfer> fair enough. do you know how he went with the order he placed with canonical?
[13:44] <head_victim> Not sure if it's coming or not but we made sure he had enough to cover the orders he already had from people from the leftovers of the day.
[13:44] <jfer> has he heard back from them yet?
[13:44] <head_victim> I think he sent an email to the list recently saying to contact him if you're interested
[13:44] <jfer> oh ok
[13:52] <head_victim> Well I gotta scoot myself, if you're interested in the stickers just have a look over the mailing list and shoot paul an email.
[23:06] <head_victim> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/LCA2011Brisbane
[23:06] <head_victim> I've just updated it with a lot of information about how the day went
[23:30] <nisshh> head_victim, nice, looks like it went well then :)
[23:40] <head_victim> nisshh: yeah was really good, nice to see heaps of people turn out and was good to socialise a bit. 
[23:40] <head_victim> I gotta go pick up some more PC parts :/
