[00:11] Someone decided to spam me with 1,000 emails to gmail. I guess after a 1,000 google decided it might be spam. heh. [00:11] Still made a mess of my inbox... took me all of 30 seconds to clean up. [00:13] Wow the ships come in today... 10 questions confirmed me as the answer, 120 axubuntu points. [00:48] that would be 150 [00:48] you get 15 for an accepted answer [03:45] wow, just saw nixternal's picasa album [03:45] that is some serious storm there [07:13] good morning all [07:16] Morning [07:47] morning nigelb :) [08:22] nigelb: it is.

[10:25] nigelb: hey [10:25] kim0: How are you? Are you all okay? [10:25] kim0: So glad you finally got internet \o/ [10:25] Yeah all fine thanks .. [10:25] I dropped by a bit yesternight [10:26] Ah, I missed that bit :) [10:27] kim0: you're back again [10:27] yay [10:27] yeah.. the Internet is back [10:27] oooh, things are getting better then! [10:28] well .. he agreed to the people's requests, except it's all "promises" [10:28] nods [10:28] no decisions .. most people have zero trust in the current gov [10:29] now they're allowing internet access again, to make us feel everything is over [10:29] heya kim0! [10:29] while hopefully it isn't just yet [10:29] * kim0 hugs dpm [10:29] dpm: missed ya buddy [10:29] * dpm hugs kim0! [10:30] Advice to all US citizens, you really want to decline that Internet kill switch law thing :) [10:30] heh [10:31] * czajkowski hugs kim0 welcome back [10:31] * kim0 hugs czajkowski [10:31] thanks [10:31] * kim0 prepares to get back in shape [10:33] kim0: glad you're back! :) [10:33] Pendulum: thanks man :) [10:33] glad to be back indeed [10:36] kim0: woman :) [10:36] (as in, I am one :) ) [10:36] oh shit :) [10:37] * kim0 hugs Pendulum [10:37] s'ok :) [10:37] * Pendulum hugs kim0 [10:37] Pendulum: thanks a million .. really appreciate it [10:37] It's not apparent if you don't know me :) [10:37] It would be my pleasure to .. some day hopefully [10:39] Just a couple of days away, and I'm back on hundreds of emails, thousands of news items ..etc sigh [10:40] :( [10:43] kim0, so how are people feeling today? Do you think te pressure on Mubarak will be kept? [10:44] hmm .. I would hope so .. He has provided only promises, to me false ones, the price was 300 dead young-people, that is too much a price to pay for promises [10:45] However many people are tired by now, his words are convincing as well .. sounds so sincere [10:45] people are getting split .. I would think the majority will still be out again this Friday to get him out immediately [10:46] The amount of incorrect info on national TV is astonishing .. it's almost not funny anymore ;) [10:48] is national TV also very much controlled by the government, then? Do you have access to many nationwide private TV channels? [10:49] Yes, it is super controlled! Many people have access to satellite TV stations (AlJazeera, BBC...) that they watch to actually know the updates [10:50] The gov actually forced shutting down AlJazeera multiple times the past few days [10:50] it's been a cat/mouse game .. changing the frequency every few hours, and shutting it down again ! [10:50] LoL [10:50] wow [10:52] yeah, I read about AlJazeera being shut a few days ago [10:53] did not know about the frequency changes, though, wow [11:01] So current natty breaks closed nvidia drivers ? or actually vice cersa :) can someone confirm [11:02] kim0, on Al Jazeera lots of people yesterday talked about a "different reality" in state media [11:03] Yeah, it's like they're living in Wonder land .. there are 2 million people on the streets, and they're filming 100 people saying that's all there is. Besides hundreds of pro-Mubarak calls all the time explaining how wise is it to keep the current regime ..etc [11:04] kim0, on nvidia: yeah I saw that, thus I held on the xorg upgrade. [11:05] hmm I hate to hold out on upgrades :) seems like I'll do that too [11:05] even if Mubarak goes in September, there's going to stay a lot of old faces in government and positions of power - so I can see why people stay on the streets and say "it's not over yet" [11:06] absolutely .. problem is some people are starting to buy that sweet talking .. wishing for a stable country back .. etc [11:07] kim0, after all that, he wont leave!!!, it's a proof that the USA and Israel are supporting him [11:07] I liked how somebody said "there's no way we can go back to the country we were a week ago" [11:08] If we wait 6 months, we might though :) [14:32] kim0: hello! [14:32] kim0: good to see (read) you [14:32] :) [14:32] I just heard on the radio that internet was back on. [14:43] duanedesign: Thanks, same here [14:44] kim0: well i wisk you, your family, friends, and countrymen the best of luck [14:44] wish* [14:45] Thanks, we'll need it [14:58] cjohnston: hey alright, mark answered your question [15:01] which question? [15:01] hello jcastro [15:01] howdy howdy [15:02] jcastro: did detroit get any snow? [15:02] mhall119: he wants a way to remove the drives from the unity launcher [15:02] duanedesign: yeah but it's a big yawn, like 4-5 inches instead of the 14 they said [15:02] they already shut the schools down and everything [15:02] now everyone's like "..." [15:02] we set a record here in Tulsa, 14+ inches [15:03] wow! [15:03] bought time you guys got some real snow. :) [15:03] it's like 75 F outside here [15:04] mhall119: that's really not fair to say :( [15:04] jcastro: hahaha, right [15:05] my parents had to extend a trip to California 2 extra days due to the weather. My father keeps telling me how nice it is. I told him next time he can send me somewhere warm and he can have the snow. [15:05] everyone was so excited about the snow day [15:06] except for me, since I don't get snow days anymore, heh [15:06] heh [15:06] I bet people just go drinking today [15:06] we're on day 2 of snow days, except today is really an ice day :( [15:16] it's going to be Civil war in egypt [15:17] yeah [15:17] this is not looking good [15:18] I am sadly unsurprised :( [15:20] Mubarak sent his thiefs to throw stones & acids to the people [15:21] yeah, that sounds about right [15:21] I really hope who's in charge next won't take the US's bullshit with extraordinary rendition [15:26] daker: those throwing stones etc. were police officers in civil dress apparently [15:29] yes [15:30] police officers, thiefs , people from the NDP [15:30] camels and horses runing everywhere [15:30] in tahrir sq [15:31] Sounds scary. [15:31] VERY scary [15:32] very scary and exciting at the same time [15:33] at least the Army didn't intervene... [15:33] That would be the last thing they want to do. [15:33] oh yeah [15:33] kim0 has disappeared again [15:33] the military should be for the people over all [15:34] I'm here .. it's just horrible :/ [15:34] JFo: the politicians and the police should be for the people too ;) [15:34] true, but when all else breaks down, the basic function of an armed service is to protect the people [15:34] is or should be that is [15:34] :) [15:35] To protect the "nation" they say [15:35] indeed [15:35] which you can understand anyway you want to [15:35] well, it is left ambiguous for a reason :) [15:35] any way* [15:36] stay safe kim0 [15:39] They're burning the people .. throwing molotov from buildings onto protestors [15:39] !!!! [15:40] I can see some of that [15:40] they are also saying that they suspect the government of trucking these people in for them to destabilize the protests [15:40] I hope that isn't the case [15:42] iti [15:42] it's the govt [15:43] kim0: is there anything you need done on the internet we could help you with? [15:44] +1 jcastro [15:47] jcastro: +1 [15:47] http://www.wimp.com/babyrocker/ [15:48] I'm just reading people in civil clothes beat up & "arrested" a Belgian journalist today; I guess they don't like foreign reporting... [15:49] morning all! [15:49] JanC, I read that somewhere else too, lots of other journalists got the same treatment [15:49] morning jono [15:49] that's not the ppl it's the govt [15:49] jono: harassment page is all up to date now and finished. \o/ [15:49] got the local info [15:49] daker, I believe you [15:49] thanks jcastro :-) [15:50] we have a call today in 10 right?

[15:56] We didn't get too badly in NJ this time, but it was still an icy commute this morning. [15:57] most things around here are shut due to ice today [15:57] we shut everything down [15:58] but the snow wasn't that bad, so they feel dumb [15:58] we had one of those a couple weeks ago [15:58] except the kids playing outside of course [15:58] but we've gotten hit by a storm midweek just about every week this year [15:58] I think we missed one [15:58] and it's stayed cold so nothing's melting [15:58] a whole bunch of roofs have collapsed in CT :( [15:59] Eek. [15:59] mostly without injury to humans, but they did have to put some horses down :( [15:59] yikes [16:01] Wow the Egyptian Museum is burning, that a BIG disaster [16:01] oh no :( [16:02] Oh dear. [16:02] I don't think it is daker, I thought that was the firebombs in the road [16:02] they thought that it was due to smoke [16:02] but I thought they later said it was the road and the angle they were filming from [16:04] I *hope* it isn't on fire, I want to visit someday :-/ [16:04] I really hope it's not on fire either [16:04] actually no one can confirm that, the only person who can confirm is Dr. Zahi [16:05] yeah, things in Egypt are going from bad to worse [16:19] http://kalnaga.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/mubarak-thugs-attempting-burning-egyptian-museum/ [16:22] nigelb, what's the state of "write script that shows which loco team members of ~ubuntu-dev, ~ubuntu-bugcontrol are part of"?
