[00:29]  * MarkDude just wanted to point out that you need NOT be a Super Nerd to go to SNNSF
[00:31] <akk> Super Nerd Network Software Foundation
[00:31] <akk> Saturday Night Noisy Snow Fun
[00:38]  * MarkDude likes the 1st one
[00:38] <rww> Social Networking's Not So Fun
[00:39] <MarkDude> We should get shirts, like the Justice League of America
[00:39] <MarkDude> Or defenders of Wildlife
[00:40] <akk> rww: I like yours
[00:41] <akk> Doesn't seem like MarkDude is going to tell us what it really stands for, so we're going to have to keep making stuff up.
[00:41] <rww> SuperNerdNight San Francisco
[00:41] <rww> 20:03:48 < MarkDude> Anyone local up for SuperNerdNight tonight at Rogue Ale house?
[00:42] <akk> ah, that was before I joined
[00:43] <MarkDude> My bad
[00:43] <akk> No biggie, most people had probably seen it.
[00:43]  * MarkDude had some folks flake- I am still going
[00:43] <rww> akk: you mean you don't check the logfiles every day to see what you missed!?
[00:44]  * MarkDude has it indexed and printed in triplicate :D
[00:44] <akk> heh, I have enough trouble keeping up with realtime IRC
[00:47] <kdub> what is nerd night
[00:53] <MarkDude> http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=183755411658835
[00:53] <MarkDude> kdub, they only have a FB linl
[00:53] <MarkDude> link
[00:53] <MarkDude> bastards I tell ya' :)
[00:55] <kdub> oh game night! thats pretty awesome
[00:57] <MarkDude> board games, retro games
[00:57] <akk> Um, "super nerds" but they advertise only on Facebook?
[00:57] <akk> What is wrong with this picture?
[00:57] <MarkDude> super nerds that many work at game companies
[00:58] <MarkDude> different type of nerds
[00:58] <MarkDude> Some may even LARP
[00:58]  * MarkDude thinks it is an age thing, lots of young people there
[00:59] <MarkDude> These kids nowadays with their Facebook, and their tweetering
[00:59] <akk> Twitter is mostly middle-aged people, apparently. :)
[00:59] <MarkDude> And their haircuts, dont get me started about that
[01:00] <MarkDude> Its weird - about half the nerds I know would PREFER I use FB to communicate with them
[01:00] <MarkDude> likes its rude to email or sumthin'
[01:00] <MarkDude> Or thats just what old people do
[01:01] <MarkDude> In my day, we used to spell out the whole word
[01:02] <akk> Most of the people I know who use FB as primary means of communication are extremely nontechnical.
[01:02] <kdub> how would i know how to cut my hair if it wasnt for fb? :)
[01:03] <MarkDude> akk, yes, it is amazing how many folks can architect sumthin' and not get say how electricity works
[01:04] <MarkDude> Then again knowing all sorts of Star Wars or Star Trek stuff is nonetheless geeky, even if they only know fake science
[01:05] <akk> true
[01:06] <kdub> for the record, i wish i could get rid of facebook
[01:22] <MarkDude> grantbow, said he was thinking about doing that, I told him what I heard him say was- well folks under 45, I really dont want to talk to them on their terms
[01:23]  * MarkDude 's Grandma is in her 80s and loves FB btw
[07:01] <seidos> ever get the feeling you're being followed?
[07:07] <nhaines> seidos: I prefer to do the following, thank you very much.
[07:08]  * seidos chuckles
[07:13] <seidos> wait..............
[07:13]  * seidos close
[07:13] <seidos> i think i should sleep
[07:26] <nhaines> jono: good morning!  :)
[07:30] <jono> hey nhaines
[07:30] <jono> hows tricks?
[07:32] <seidos> anybody know how to check package info from cli?
[07:36] <seidos> or how to get a mask?  or some instructions from a trustworthy source?
[07:49] <nhaines> jono: busy, busy, but some fun stuff coming up.  I'm especially looking forward to SCaLE!
[07:50] <jono> nhaines, cool :-)
[07:50] <nhaines> jono: I have the thoughts about Ubucon as well... might see if I can get anything going.
[07:56] <seidos> what's cooler than being cool?
[07:57] <seidos> cool != warm
[07:58]  * seidos sleeps
[09:27] <MarkDude> Yay, SuperNerdNight- was super
[17:45] <nhaines> Jetzt kann ich wieder auf Deutsch tippen!
[17:45] <nhaines> Although, ironically, that is not obvious by the above phrase.
[17:45]  * nhaines shrugs.
[17:51] <pleia2> heh :)
[17:53] <jamiedmattingly> wow its been a long time since i tried to speak or read german what does that say nhaines?
[18:07] <kdub> question, anyone know where the unity/wayland for ubuntu folks hang out?
[18:12] <pleia2> unity and wayland are different things :)
[18:12] <pleia2> for UI and design of unity you want #ayatana
[18:13] <pleia2> and there is #wayland
[18:29] <nhaines> jamiedmattingly: it said "Now I can type in German again!"
[18:36] <pleia2> kdub:
[18:36] <pleia2> 10:12:46 < pleia2> for UI and design of unity you want #ayatana
[18:36] <pleia2> 10:13:30 < pleia2> and there is #wayland
[18:42] <jdeslip> Sehr gut. Bald werden Sie spricht auch Deutsch.
[18:43] <jdeslip> By the way, big flashplayer update today for linux/ubuntu.  Hardware acceleration works great if you have an nvidia card.  Full screen flash video drops from 90% to 10% on my machine ;)
[18:44] <nhaines> Well, I do speak it far more often than I type it.  :)  But now that locale info was fixed on this server I can type "süß" instead of "suess".
[18:44] <nhaines> Also: see what others are typing when they speak Spanish or German.
[18:45] <jdeslip> interesting
[18:45] <jdeslip> Now, if only there was a google translate plugin for irssi
[18:50] <jamiedmattingly> i was stationed in germany for a few years but thats was so long ago all i can really remember is how to order a beer :)
[18:51] <jamiedmattingly> ein bier vitte
[18:53] <nhaines> bitte ;)
[18:53] <jamiedmattingly> see it has been that long i guess lol
[18:54] <pleia2> that's really all you need to know
[18:54] <jamiedmattingly> i can say it in 3 languages :)
[18:55] <jamiedmattingly> una cervezaq por favor
[18:55] <jamiedmattingly> minus the q
[18:55] <pleia2> hehe
[18:56] <nhaines> Maybe while I'm at SCaLE I'll eat German food at Alpine Village in Torrance.  Usually I go to Old World in Huntington Beach.
[18:56] <jamiedmattingly> my typing still sucks either that or this darn small netbook keyboard
[18:57] <jamiedmattingly> oh i could go for some schnitzle mit spetzle and im alost positive i spelled most of that wrong
[18:58] <jamiedmattingly> ooooh or some brats with fuer senf thank sounds real good
[18:58] <jamiedmattingly> now im hungry again
[19:16] <nhaines> I like spaetzle.  I also like bratwurst.  Senf means mustard, but "fuer" is a preposition meaning "for".  :)
[19:19] <jamiedmattingly> ok i spelled it wrong the was supposed to be wo9rd for fire like hot mustard
[19:22] <jamiedmattingly> i discharged fro army in 91 and came back to states haven't had much occasion to speak german since
[19:24] <nhaines> Not sure I've had Feuersenf before but sounds tasty.  Any mustard you have to store in a metal toothpaste tube is fine by me!
[19:24] <jamiedmattingly> thats exactly how it was lol
[19:24] <jamiedmattingly> very tasty
[19:25] <nhaines> When mustard is hot or spicy or strong we say it's "scharf", though, generically.  :)
[19:25] <jamiedmattingly> could it be a regional thing?
[19:26] <nhaines> No, Feuersenf would be a specific type or recipe rather than a generic term for "hot".  Maybe.  I don't think anyone would misunderstand what Feuersenf is supposed to taste like.  :)
[19:26] <jamiedmattingly> are you from germany?
[19:26] <nhaines> Long Beach, actually.
[19:26] <jamiedmattingly> just speak german?
[19:26] <nhaines> Yup!  :)
[19:27] <jamiedmattingly> i used to speak it pretty good when i was there but cant say much of anything now
[19:30] <nhaines> That's the trick, really.  :)  The Internet's good for that, and of course sometimes you find good restaurants....
[19:31] <jamiedmattingly> i havent found a good german food place since i left
[19:32] <nhaines> Whereabouts do you live?
[19:32] <jamiedmattingly> vallejo
[19:33] <nhaines> I know there was a place in San Jose or San Francisco when we went to CLS, but it was closed on Sundays when we tried to visit.
[19:34] <jamiedmattingly> the used to be a place in the mall in concord but the food was really bad
[19:35] <jamiedmattingly> then again i went to a couple of mexican food places in illinois when i lived there and they were really bad as well
[19:35] <nhaines> You haven't lived until you've eaten a canned tortilla.  (At least, if you taste one you'll know you're certainly not dead.)
[19:36] <jamiedmattingly> tortilla in a can?
[19:36] <nhaines> That's how they sold them in the 60's.
[19:36] <nhaines> Back east, anyhow.  :)
[19:36] <jamiedmattingly> wow
[19:37] <MarkDude> They used to sell rice in a cn- already cooked also
[19:37] <jamiedmattingly> and i thought getting potatoes in a can was bad lol
[19:47] <jamiedmattingly> has anyone ever used andchat or another android app to get on the irc here?
[19:54] <nhaines> I used something or other back in the G1 days but it liked to disconnect every time the display slept.
[19:55] <nhaines> So instead I just use ConnectBot and screen plus irssi.  :D
[19:57] <crashsystems> I am using andchat currently, which is what the crashsystems1 nick is using
[20:03] <MarkDude> Awkward geek moment last night at SNNSF- dude walks in - sees us playing Raskulls, notices one of us is using his gamertag
[20:04] <MarkDude> Says, hey where is my ex-gf-  she still has my tag on the 360
[20:04] <MarkDude> It was a <geek moment>
[20:05] <MarkDude> On our side of geekdom the question is usually - what distro do you use?
[20:05] <MarkDude> Or what is your project
[20:05] <MarkDude> the most common question was - what console do you prefer? or are you a PC gamer?
[20:06]  * MarkDude had to clarify that most of my gaming was on Linux, and usually involved penguins
[20:22] <jamiedmattingly> hey crashsystems i tried setting it up last night and had difficulty do you mind walking me through a little?
[20:46] <AndroUser> hello
[20:46] <jamiedmattingly> i got my phone to work as andro user
[20:47] <AndroUser> now I need to figure out how to get my nick
[20:48] <jamiedmattingly1> hello
[20:48] <jamiedmattingly> now there are 2 of me :)
[20:48] <iheartubuntu> good for your wife or girlfriend :)
[20:49] <iheartubuntu> testing out IRC built into Opera.
[20:49] <jamiedmattingly> andro irc was easier to set up than andchat much easier
[20:49] <jamiedmattingly> isnt opera a browser?
[20:51] <iheartubuntu> yes, but the new Opera versions have email, IRC, widgets, etc built into it
[20:51] <iheartubuntu> so far Im liking Opera a lot.
[20:51] <jamiedmattingly> wow i gotta try that
[20:53] <iheartubuntu> so far the only prob with Opera is I dont have Java working in it yet
[21:03] <kdub_> jamiedmattingly: you can authenticate to your nick and do ghost from nickserv
[21:03] <kdub_> doing "msg Nickserv help" explains it
[22:22] <kdub_> pleia2: thanks for directing to #ayatana, i would have never figured that out on my own
[22:37] <rww> jdeslip: http://scripts.irssi.org/html/gtrans.pl.html
[22:37]  * rww has never used
[22:44] <jdeslip> Wow, I never in bothered to look because I thought it was so far-fetched
[22:46] <nhaines> jdeslip: this is the Internet that yo're on.
[22:56] <jamiedmattingly> hey pleia2 are you here?
[22:57] <pleia2> jamiedmattingly: yep
[22:58] <jamiedmattingly> hey i dont know much about sf. was looking up address for tonight and it listed a bunch of condos at 199 new montgomery am i looking at the ri8ght address?
[22:58] <pleia2> jamiedmattingly: yes, the condos are above the street level stores
[22:59] <jamiedmattingly> ok just wanted to make sure had right place
[22:59] <pleia2> so you'll see The Roastery, the entrance to the condos, a Tutti Melon yogurt shop, a real estate firm
[23:00] <pleia2> and google maps calls it "Cafe Trieste"
[23:00] <pleia2> (old name maybe?)
[23:01] <jamiedmattingly> maybe i know trieste is a town in italy my dad was stationed there when i wasw a kid
[23:02] <pleia2> and feel free to give me a call if you get lost, can't find us, etc: 610-952-7370
[23:02] <jamiedmattingly> what area code is 610?
[23:02] <pleia2> philadelphia
[23:02] <jamiedmattingly> your from phili?
[23:03] <pleia2> I lived there for several years
[23:03] <pleia2> just moved out here last year
[23:04] <jamiedmattingly> so im not the only transplant then :) im from illinois
[23:04] <pleia2> cool
[23:05] <pleia2> I actually grew up in Maine, lived in New York for a while
[23:05] <jamiedmattingly> i was born in england (dad was in airforce) moved to america when i was 12 to ofallon il
[23:06] <pleia2> I was born in georgia (I am secretly southern)
[23:06] <jamiedmattingly> then fairfield when 17 then after first marriage moved to springfield il in 01 then after divorce moved to vallejo in 04
[23:06] <pleia2> my parents moved to maine before I was old enough to remember
[23:07] <jamiedmattingly> i was stationed at fort benning for basic
[23:07]  * pleia2 raises glass to moving to california after divorces
[23:07] <jamiedmattingly> your not missing much
[23:07] <jamiedmattingly> cheers
[23:07] <pleia2> :)
[23:16] <jamiedmattingly> how do you do that thing where your doing something rather than saying something i guess
[23:16] <jamiedmattingly> shows an * instead of your name
[23:18] <pleia2> /me does something
[23:19] <jtatum> how vague
[23:20] <jamiedmattingly> wow i tried typing it but nothing happened
[23:21] <jamiedmattingly> ok so its the / then my name followed by the action right?
[23:22] <pleia2> not your name, "me"
[23:22]  * jamiedmattingly is confused
[23:22] <pleia2> there you go :)
[23:22] <jtatum>  /me <action>
[23:22] <akk> slash-em-eee-space
[23:22] <jtatum> or /em depending on fate
[23:22] <jamiedmattingly> yay
[23:23]  * akk cheers
[23:23]  * jamiedmattingly raises hands in triumph
[23:23]  * jtatum does something
[23:32] <jdeslip> pleia2 - but now how do you write "/me" at the beginning like that without causing the action...
[23:33] <pleia2> jdeslip: / /me does things
[23:33] <jdeslip> does the leading / kill any further commands?
[23:33] <pleia2> I think so
[23:33] <pleia2> / /me does things
[23:33] <pleia2> yeah
[23:33] <pleia2> that's double /s!
[23:34] <jdeslip> lol
[23:34] <akk> I think it depends on the client -- doesn't seem to work in xchat.
[23:34] <akk> I've never found a way to get a slash at the beginning of a line.
[23:34] <akk> Tried / / and //, they both say unknown command.
[23:34] <pleia2> yeah, it's client specific
[23:36]  * iheartubuntu is crazy
[23:36] <iheartubuntu> works in Opera irc
[23:36] <akk>  /me works everywhere (AFAIK), but getting it to SAY "/me" at the beginning of a line doesn't.
[23:36] <akk> (notice I had to put a space there, otherwise xchat would have complained)
[23:37] <jdeslip> How can we raise this discussion to another level of meta ;)
[23:37]  * jamiedmattingly curses xchat and its complaints
[23:39] <jamiedmattingly> this is getting to be fun
[23:41] <jamiedmattingly> ok gotta get out of here see you tonight who ever will be there
[23:42] <rww> akk: /say ?
[23:42] <akk> /me tries /say
[23:42] <akk> woo! Thanks, rww :)
[23:47] <akk> /etc/hosts
[23:48] <akk> ooh, funny, I didn't need to prefix that one at all (didn't mean to send it, I was checking to see what the exact error message was :)
[23:48] <nhaines> haha
[23:48] <nhaines> Command not found: (A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail? _
