iheartubuntubudapest looks very interesting00:03
iheartubuntua river dividing the two cities00:03
pleia2it'll certainly be the most foreign place I've ever been00:03
* crashsystems has been stuck in the US too long :/00:04
iheartubuntubudepest was a real hot spot 100 years ago in europe. even 50-70 years ago. some of the most trendiest nightclubs and dancehalls in all of europe00:04
pleia2I love the US00:04
pleia2but travel is fun, and I haven't had the opportunity to do so until these past couple years00:05
iheartubuntuthe more i travel the more i appreciate the usa. things are maybe a bit too easy here and its easy to take it for granted00:05
iheartubuntulike 24 hour donuts :)00:05
pleia2same00:05
pleia2and big hotel rooms!00:05
* crashsystems wants donuts now.00:05
iheartubuntui have a donut place near me. run by a small little old japanese guy who has apparently been doing it since he was released from internment. the place is open 24/7 and he hand makes all the fillings every day. fresh cream, fresh strawberries, etc. there is always a line of people outside when i drive by! even at the oddest hours00:07
pleia2iheartubuntu: so you're bringing a box to scale, right?00:07
pleia2;)00:07
iheartubuntui am?? OK!00:07
jtatumthat's neat00:08
pleia2I haven't had a donut in ages00:08
iheartubuntuI'll get him to autograpgh the box00:08
pleia2lol, that would be awesome00:08
nhainespleia2: I had a custard-filled donut with chocolate frosting on Tuesday night!00:08
crashsystems24/7? Wow, I'd end up getting donuts at crazy hours!00:08
pleia2there are a lot of donut shops in the city, I'm just never in a donut mood when I'm near one (and donuts from cafes aren't the same)00:09
nhainesIsn't that the truth!00:10
iheartubuntupleia2 do you like going to music concerts?00:11
pleia2iheartubuntu: I haven't been to many, but I've enjoyed the ones I've been to :)00:12
iheartubuntuSF had an awesome one... somewhere south of market and fremont... called Maritime Hall00:13
iheartubuntusome legendary concert events there. i believe it closed up a few years back00:14
pleia2yeah, I moved to SF now that it's not cool anymore00:18
iheartubuntuha00:25
iheartubuntuthe website ive used for 5+ years to find live soccer game feeds was shut down... http://atdhe.net/00:26
iheartubuntuhomeland security took it over. what a bunch of rubbish. i feel like we are in china now00:26
pleia2was it legal?00:27
iheartubuntufunny the gov doesnt shut down sites like justin.tv which is the site actually showing the feeds.00:27
iheartubuntuthe site i was going to was just creating a page to find soccer links, not actual feeds themselves.00:27
pleia2I'd be mad at the companies pushing that for laws that make their content be protected, not the enforcers of those laws00:27
iheartubuntui should probably be mad at both :)00:28
pleia2and write to your congressperson!00:28
pleia2:)00:28
iheartubuntudear congressperson. where are my pseudo legal video feeds?00:29
akkBeing mad at the enforcers makes sense too, if they enforce silly things like that but don't enforce, say, antispam laws00:29
akkor antitrust laws00:29
pleia2fair enough00:30
iheartubuntui'll have to find some chinese links to watch los angeles games here in los angeles00:30
iheartubuntu:p00:30
iheartubuntuim worried now of monthly caps on data usage00:31
iheartubuntuthats going to squash companies who want to charge money for people watching movies online00:31
pleia2I didn't even realize until last year (when I started caring about a sport) how hugely locked down baseball and football and other sporting stuff was00:31
* pleia2 pays royalties for talking about them00:32
pleia2;)00:32
iheartubuntulocked down?00:32
iheartubuntupays royalties?00:32
iheartubuntuim sure talking major league soccer they would pay YOU00:32
pleia2well, perhaps not soccer :)00:32
pleia2but the popular sporting things in the US00:32
iheartubuntuin fact its pretty easy to get a soccer press pass00:32
pleia2MLB, NFL00:33
iheartubuntusoccer has higher tv views and attendance than NHL now :)00:33
iheartubuntuwoot woot00:33
pleia2hehe00:33
iheartubuntui was a hockey fan for a couple years (some girl made me like it)00:34
iheartubuntui didnt phrase that right :p00:34
iheartubuntuher cousin was paralyzed at boston U and wrote a book about it00:35
iheartubuntui forget his name now00:35
iheartubuntuin his first ever uni game00:35
iheartubuntuouch00:35
pleia2wow00:35
akkhow awful!00:37
iheartubuntui bought a few extra copies of his book to be autographed. i thought i bought them on amazon. cant seem to find it in my history00:39
iheartubuntubut i *DID* buy a black labrador beanie baby in 199700:40
iheartubuntuahh yes. his name was "travis roy"00:41
=== Administrator__ is now known as ryaxnb7
iheartubuntuAnyone know if seidos moved back to social?02:07
iheartubuntuSocal02:07
iheartubuntuisnt redhat a major player in the linux world?02:56
pleia2yep02:56
iheartubuntudid they create debian or is redhat designed off of debian?02:56
pleia2neither02:56
iheartubuntutheir stock price has doubled in one year02:56
iheartubuntufrom $20 to $4402:56
pleia2they were both started around the same time though, redhat developed the rpm packaging system that their distro (and fedora, and others) use, debian created debs (debian, ubuntu ,etc)02:57
iheartubuntuid like to ivnest in linux02:57
iheartubunturelated companies02:57
iheartubuntui once tried redhat in thr 1990s when it was sold at compusa. could not figure patitioning so i gave up02:58
pleia2redhat 7.2 was my first linux02:58
iheartubuntuthankfully ubuntu got me back in02:59
pleia2:)02:59
iheartubuntugoogle is a major backer of linux these days03:02
iheartubuntuohh hows that computer doing liz?03:02
pleia2iheartubuntu: it's great :) I am having a lot of fun with it (on it now!)03:05
iheartubuntuso how r u doing irc?03:05

iheartubuntuwhats irssi?03:06
rwwa terminal-based IRC client03:06
iheartubuntuohh clever03:07
pleia2yeah, I ssh from the cr-48 into my server running irssi03:08
pleia2the terminal on this machine is very limited, but it does have ssh :)03:08
iheartubuntuim using freenode webchat at my wifes uni here since they block pidgin03:10
nUboon2Ageyo people, we be here at Philz Coffee (been here since 7), jtatum is w/ me.  where's the rest of y'all.  akk, crashsystems, crashsystems1, jamalta03:51
nUboon2Age:-)03:52
akkI didn't even know about it. Last I heard you were telling us about one next Thursday in Mountain View.03:52
akkI need email reminders of this stuff!03:52
akkI hope to be in MV next Thursday, though.03:53
nUboon2Ageyeah that's what hardly any time on-line will get me akk.  thing is i need others to pick a meeitng and THEY do the reminders.03:56
pleia2oops, yeah, I needed a reminder to update identica03:56
nUboon2AgeJames/ jtatum agreed to do MV and stburto is doing PA.  You wanna do SJ akk?03:56
iheartubuntuwhere are ya'll? bay area?03:56
akkMaybe a once a month "Here are the south bay ubuntu hours this month"?03:56
nUboon2Ageyup, Silicon Valley iheartubuntu03:57
nUboon2Ageyes, so would you like to do that akk?03:57
iheartubuntuis seidos there?03:57
akknUboon2Age: I've only been to one of the SJ ones ... I don't mind sending an email but for that you'd have to tell me when they're going to be. :)03:57
akkAnd if you tell me, I'm not sure it would be any harder to tell the whole list ...03:58
nUboon2Ageakk: so the way it works is you would 'adopt' a meeting.  The SJ one is set for every 2nd Th of the month.03:58
nUboon2Ageno akk i can't do it all.  it doesn't work that way.  the way it actually is functional is to delegate and people take responsibility for a single meeting.  that way we get a prolififeration of healthy meetings.  not ones all run by one person.04:00
akknUboon2Age: I don't mind sending the mailing, but I'm hesitant to adopt SJ because I'm not sure I'm sold on that location (the one I went to was frustrating for me, I didn't get to talk to anyone).04:01
nUboon2Ageyou can change the location, no probl04:01
akknUboon2Age: I don't mind sending an email reminder for it, though, if you need someone to do that.04:01
nUboon2Ageakk: ^^04:01
akkI'd rather just go to the MV one -- it's right across the street from work and a good location.04:01
nUboon2Ageyou could help in any way you want, but i need someone to adopt the meeting.  you are the logical one because you are by far the closest.  but i'll understand if you don't want to akk04:02
akkI spend almost no time in downtown SJ, so I'm not a good person to find sites there.04:02
jtatumhallo04:02
nUboon2Agewould you rather adopt the MV one akk?  maybe we can swap w/ jtatum.04:02
jtatumstay back, it's mine! haha04:03
nUboon2Agei get hardly ANY time on-line right now so i NEED to delegate akk04:03
nUboon2Ageand by the way, i talked to you at the one you came to so you can't say NO ONE talked to you. :-) akk04:04
akkI don't mind sending email reminders for SJ ... I just don't want to be responsible for being there every time.04:04
nUboon2Agewell how about MV then akk04:04
nUboon2Age??04:04
akkI thought you said jtatum was doing that? But I plan to be there when I can.04:05
nUboon2Agei might be able to persuade jtatum to switch.  i need someone to ADOPT a meeting.  all the way,. akk04:05
akkIf nobody's that interested in adopting SJ, maybe it's a sign that we're spreading ourselves too thin and should concentrate on MV?04:06
nUboon2Ageits not like i won't come to it akk, i'll keep coming.  btw i was the ONLY one at MV AND SJ last month04:06
nUboon2Agewrong akk04:06
nUboon2Ageits a sign that we need to delegate04:06
akknUboon2Age: Hey, d and I were the only ones in MV the month before that, at least for the first 45 min. :)04:06
nUboon2Agetake it from me akk i've been organizing events for many a year.  i know whereof i speak.04:07
nUboon2Ageyeah and what do all  the low-turnout event have in common akk?04:07
nUboon2Agei'll tell you what they have in common.04:07
nUboon2Ageno publicity04:07
akkRight. But a monthly announcement with a list of dates would help a lot.04:08
nUboon2Ageas i said with a broken arm and many other probs getting time on-line i haven't been able to do proper PR. akk04:08
nUboon2Agethat says zero about the viability of the meeting akk04:08
nUboon2Ageit just says i haven't been able to do the PR and need to delegate.04:08
nUboon2Ageso i'm asking for your help akk04:08
akkSo what kind of PR are you trying to get people to do, if not email announcements?04:09
nUboon2Ageadopting a meeting means #1 being committed to show to the meeting #2 create an event on our events list and on the forums #3 announce it here #4 send e-mail reminder akk04:10
pleia2I typically send out an email announcement (sometimes cross post to other lists who said I could announce Ubuntu Hours on their lists), update the california.ubuntuforums.org thread about hours, create a loco.ubuntu.com entry for it and then nudge myself to update identi.ca/ubuntucalifornia (which x-posts to twitter)04:11
nUboon2Agei'm not 'trying to get' anyone to 'do PR'.  i'm asking people to step up and adopt a meeting akk04:11
pleia2we have a facebook group too, but facebook confounds me :)04:11
nUboon2Ageyes and the beauty is that when you are only dealing with a single meeting per month you could really go to town and e-mail many different lists and tweet and identi.ca, facebook, etc.04:11
akkI have a FB account, but I'm completely confused how group accounts are supposed to work.04:12
nUboon2Agebut that's really only possible when you have only a single meeting to work on akk04:12
rwwpleia2: it's a page now. this has not notably changed how often it's updated, though.04:12
akkJoining groups doesn't seem to put announcements from the group into your news feed or whatever it's called.04:12
pleia2rww: groups, pages, I don't actually know the difference :\04:12
rwwPages are more confusing.04:13
nUboon2Ageyeah i haven't figured out all the FB stuff yet, but i'm planning on using Gwibber to help me get it done.  awesome app. akk04:13
akkI tried to use gwibber and it was even more confusing than the FB web interface (probably it's better now).04:14
pleia2nUboon2Age: back off a little please? she said she can't commit to full responsibility going to every one and that she just wants to help, surely that's useful too?04:14
akkThanks! pleia204:14
pleia2which reminds me, if others want to help keeping identi.ca updated, please let me know, I'm clearly awful at it :)04:15
akkSpeaking of confusing web interfaces ... I have an identi.ca account but could never figure out how to post anything.04:15
nUboon2Ageso tonight at Ubuntu Hour SJ i spoke with Sebastian who is a CS student at SJSU and one of his profs had *required* that everyone add another OS to their computer (in his case Ubuntu!!!) and he gave me some names of profs to contact to get this Ubuntu Hour connected w/ SJSJ04:15
akkStrangely, people are following me there even though I have no updates.04:16
nUboon2Agepleia2: thank you but you have your style and i have mine.04:16
akknUboon2Age: That's great!04:16
nUboon2Agepleia2: mine is a little less gentle than yours but if you really watch me in action you'll come to trust that i do back off when i need to.04:16
pleia2identi.ca's interface confuses me too, I always end up clicking around a bit after logging in04:17
akkThe other one I can't figure out is diaspora.04:18
akkEven with names of people I know are on it, I can't figure out how to find them and connect to them.04:18
akkI really want to support the open sites instead of FB/twitter ... but I think I'm not smart or technical enough to use them! :)04:19
nUboon2Ageokay we're going to move over to Pizza My Heart now... catch you in a few.04:19
* rww sighs04:19
pleia2I didn't even bother with diaspora, I'm only really on facebook so my non-techie friends and family can find me, and they aren't on diaspora :)04:19
pleia2my techie friends know how to contact me properly04:19
rwwemail?04:20
akkIRC?04:20
crashsystemsI wish more people were on diaspora04:21
rwwakk: that too. Anything created after I learned to talk is too newfangled!04:21
* akk logs in to diaspora, and discovers there's a request from 3 days ago that it never bothered to email me about04:21
akkbut it's from somebody I've never heard of about something I know nothing about, hmm04:22
* crashsystems is on https://joindiaspora/crashsystems04:22
pleia2yeah, mostly email and IRC (but I do have my phone number online too)04:23
nUboon2AgeByron joined us at Pizza My Heart.04:56
jtatumGood news, everyone: Mountain View Ubuntu Hour, Thursday 2/17. See your email or any of the other ten thousand places I spammed it for details and such04:57
=== nuboon2age_ is now known as nUboon2Age
nUboon2AgeIf a group adopts a scarcity mentality and only works on the basis of the current membership and who they have right now its very unlikely they will grow very much.  akk,05:11
nUboon2Agewhereas if we approach things from an Abundance mentality the sky is the limit.05:11
nUboon2AgeScarcity keeps us locked in fear-based limitations05:12
nUboon2AgeAbundance allows us to expand without many limits.05:12
nUboon2AgeIf we say we are only going to run as many Ubuntu Hours as we currently can support we will not get very far.05:12
nUboon2Ageif instead we adapt a huge vision of Ubuntu Hours in every city and operate accordingly then we can exceed all expectations.05:13
nUboon2Agebut delegation is the key05:13
nUboon2Ageeach Ubuntu Hour needs its own leadership who then make sure the PR happens and the relations stay good with the venue operators.05:14
nUboon2Ageorganizing events is my forte.  i've been doing if for many, many years and i've had enormous success.  These things i pass along are based on my expertise.05:15
nUboon2Ageall it takes to get an Ubuntu Hour going initially is one committed individual who is willing to be at least enough outgoing to talk to others.05:16
nUboon2AgeAs long as one is willing to talk to strangers about something you are enthusiastic about you can be successful at starting an Ubuntu Hour or Lindependence Hour.05:18
nUboon2AgeIf you are kindy not so enthused about Ubuntu per se, then i encourage you akk to do it as a Lindependence Hour instead so you don't feel obligated to push Ubuntu, but open to whichever distro suits your fancy.05:19
nUboon2Ages/kindy/kinda05:19
jtatumhaha05:20
jtatumnUboon2Age got quiet05:20
jtatumturns out he was writing a wall of text :)05:20
akk:) jtatum05:21
nUboon2Age:-)05:22
MarkDudenUboon2Age, I agree that having a mentality of *abundance* is a great way to proceed :)05:31
* kdub will accept any & all help for san diego organizing :)05:32
nUboon2Ageyup, MarkDude, Lindependence Hours everywhere!  Abundance!05:35
nUboon2Ageyeah kdub!!!05:36
nUboon2Agemaybe Flannel would help your kdub(???)05:37
nUboon2Ageand how about DarkwingDuck kdub?05:37
MarkDudeCreate a wiki page for it kdub SD has people05:37
nUboon2Agegreat idea MarkDude, kdub05:38
kdubwell, i've been organizing a few meetings, but i'm not very good at promotion i guess05:38
* MarkDude knows a thing or two about promotion05:39
nUboon2Agewiki page for Ubuntu Hour SD kdub.  if you don't have access to the wiki yet kdub, pleia2 can help you with that, or DarkwingDuck for that matter or Flannel.05:39
kdubi think we've done 3 san diego hours already05:39
rwwEverybody with an LP account has access to the wiki.05:39
nUboon2Ageyes MarkDude does!!!05:39
MarkDudesome might say tooo much ;)05:39
kdubbut our max attendance was 4 :P05:40
nUboon2Agei thought to make team pages we needed some extra permission rww. no?05:40
rwwnUboon2Age: no05:40
MarkDudekdub, half full glass much?05:40
nUboon2Agethat's good to know rww.  ty for pointing that out.  i didn't realize that.05:40
MarkDude4 people is enough to start a revolution05:40
nUboon2Age4 people rocks kdub, i agree with MarkDude05:40
rwwnot technically, anyway. if there are social requirements, I'm unaware of them.05:40
MarkDudewell that and/or beer/coffee05:41
kduboh yeah, i'm hopeful about it, have a half-baked svg i was going to send to kinkos for copies05:41
kdubplus, i think we can meet downtown at the huge panera bread in the middle of the city05:41
nUboon2Agea single committed person can get it rolling initially and inspire a ripple effect, snowballing into something huge kdub.05:41
kduboh yeah, i saw the michigan loco start up05:42
kduband really, ubuntu is how i keep passionate about computers, sometimes work takes too much outta you :P05:42
kduboh, and i have a handful of brewery-restaurant type of places that i'd feel safe bringing a computer05:44
kdubgotta call the management and see how comfortable they are with that though :P05:44
nUboon2Agesure kdub.  it sounds like you are on the right track.05:45
MarkDudekdub, not to sound all Ubuntuish but, by doing some of these geek events I have gained some real good friends05:46
MarkDudeMy events that have had the highest attendance are not somehow the best05:46
nUboon2Agegoodnight y'all05:47
MarkDudelater nUboon2Age05:48
kdubnight nUboon2Age05:49
iheartubuntutesting out operas new built in mail program. its sleek. reminds me a bit like postler (which im interested in trying).06:36
iheartubuntuguten tag16:22
iheartubuntuso ive been mentioning Opera browser and testing it the last couple days. But someone told me its closed source?16:24
iheartubuntuif browsers were women... http://thenextweb.com/2009/03/16/browsers-women/16:25
jdeslipMeego is dead ...16:28
jdesliphttp://goo.gl/9xhou16:29
jdeslipA bit of a sad day for linux. Presumably this means the Linux end-user ecosystem is now split into two (for 99% of users): Android and Ubuntu.16:30
jdeslipIt'll be interesting to see if Ubuntu can fill in some of the roles Meego was targeting - tablets, in-vehicle systems etc...16:31
* MarkDude knows some folks at Nokia that are most likely not too happy with all of this16:46
jamiedmattinglyi like the women browser thing lol iheartubuntu i think i might have dated the ie girl lol16:48
DarkwingDuckI'm more worried about the Qt thing then the meego side of things.16:48
* MarkDude thinks there are a few less known browsers that could have just been hot nerd girls16:49
jdeslipYa, Nokia laying off most of the Linux devs affects a lot more than just Meego16:49
MarkDudeElinks, for example16:49
DarkwingDuckKDE and Kubuntu16:49
DarkwingDuckWe are built on Qt16:49
jdeslipWell, KDE can fork Qt right?16:49
MarkDudeDarkwingDuck, there was a transistion that started last year16:49
DarkwingDuckMarkDude: What transition?16:50
MarkDudeKnut yrvin had his cards from Nokia16:50
MarkDudeQT was crossed out16:50
DarkwingDuckQt was crossed out of what?16:50
* MarkDude did not think about that until now16:50
MarkDudeDarkwingDuck, on his card16:51
DarkwingDuckYeah...16:51
DarkwingDuckthis is going ot hurt.16:51
MarkDudethats wierd - since Nokia could have made some without it16:51
MarkDudeKnut *was* making a statemenet then16:51
DarkwingDuckjdeslip: I'm not sure... for Qt bugs we have to work with Nokia16:51
MarkDudeI gathered there was some sort of gamble going on16:52
DarkwingDuckhence the reason we had 3 nokia Qt devs at UDS16:52
DarkwingDuckWell, the Qt devs seem to think that they will be okay for now.16:54
MarkDudeDarkwingDuck, I found 1 person willing to help in SoCal16:58
MarkDudeHe will be in inland empire at least part time16:58
DarkwingDuckkk16:58
MarkDudeClint Savage from Fedora16:59
DarkwingDuckWill he be at Scale?17:03
MarkDudeHe will be pretty busy , but can meetup at Scale17:03
MarkDudeYep17:03
DarkwingDuckBecasue, while there I would love to have a improv meeting at scale.17:03
DarkwingDuckMarkDude: since you have put these on before and I have never attended one I would LOVE anything that you have to offer17:03
MarkDudeSo we can set up at least a coffee/drinks17:03
MarkDudeSure17:03
* MarkDude is helping set up geeknics in Europe also17:04
MarkDudeSocal- I know the area a bit better17:04
DarkwingDuckMarkDude: what day are you going to be down here?17:04
MarkDudeApparently Thursday- since 1 talk is early Friday17:05
DarkwingDuckMarkDude: maybe drinks/dinner/meeting friday night?17:11
DarkwingDuckI hvae plans for sat night already17:11
MarkDudeHe still is not sure when he wil be free17:13
MarkDudeHe thinks Im tryig to get him to be a main organizer17:14
DarkwingDuckOkay, I'm having dinner with some old friends that I have not seen in years on sat night.17:14
iheartubuntunhaines what sort of topics are you thinking about for ubucon19:01
jamiedmattinglyubucon?19:03
pleia2nhaines: yay ubucon!19:06
pleia2jamiedmattingly: nhaines wrote a mail to the list, and blogged about it here: http://nhaines.livejournal.com/58899.html19:07
jamiedmattinglyoh thats at scale too huh?19:10
pleia2yeah, friday19:10
jamiedmattinglymy wife will never let me go to la i had a hard enough time going to sf the other day lol19:11
nhainespleia2: it was the best kind of notice from SCaLE... none whatsoever!  But that's what makes it fun.  :)19:12
nhainesiheartubuntu: Things that beginners would like.  I'm hoping to get three speakers (last year had 6, but we also had 5 weeks to plan).19:12
nhainesSo in between I'll do open sessions.  I want to do one where we talk about setting up an Ubuntu computer for a kid.19:13
nhainesLike, early learning programs, office stuff, scientific stuff, what would you install, what do the programs look like, etc.19:13
pleia2nhaines: proposal sent, let me know if you need more details (it's pretty straight forward though :))19:13
jamiedmattinglythat would be fun as well im trying to get my 9 year old daughter to use my ubuntu19:14
jdeslipnhaines: sent you a proposal. "Creating your first Ubuntu app with quickly".  If any programming at all is to advanced what what you have planned, I could do another subject if you need a speaker and have something in mind.19:15
jamiedmattinglyshe has been using windows since she was 6 so trying to get her on ubuntu isnt as easy as i would have hoped19:16
nhainespleia2: I love it.  :)19:16
nhainesjamiedmattingly: book a ticket and she can give a presentation.  ;)19:16
pleia2\o/19:16
nhainesjdeslip: I walked through the Quickly tutorial last year.  It was very well received.19:17
jamiedmattinglymy wife will never let me go to la although my daughter might like it19:17
pleia2my proposal was "Finding Help" (explaining to new users that they have forums, irc, google etc for learning about ubuntu)19:17
nhainesjamiedmattingly: bring your wife too.  ;)19:17
pleia2yeah, I'm dragging my boyfriend along ;)19:17
jamiedmattinglyshe hates computers except for face book :(19:18
pleia2my line was "even if you don't find anything on the schedule - we're in LA! go on adventures"19:18
nhainesjamiedmattingly: Also, although I was being snarky, three girls, 10, 11, and 13, I think, did give a presentation for the Women in Open Source track and it was standing-room only, overflow, and standing ovation afterwards.19:18
pleia2nice19:19
jamiedmattinglyvery nice nhaines19:19
nhainesIn fact, if I hadn't been MCing the Ubucon thing I would have gone in.19:19
nhainesSo snarky quips aside, I'd accept a younger presenter just as readily as an older one.19:20
nhainesOh, also, if anyone here has already registered but wants to go to Ubucon (i.e., have the listing on your badge) just let me know your email address and I can get the registration updated.19:32
nhainesOr, first and last name works too.19:32
nhainesOoh, snazzy: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/special-events19:41

jdeslipI just saw that there is now a vncviewer android app.  Works great with Ubuntu remote-desktop.23:27
nhainesIt works okay.23:27
nhainesInput's a bit wonky sometimes.  :)23:27
jdeslipTook a bit of getting used to anyway ;)23:27
jdeslipBut, I think I am going to use it as a remote mouse for my mythbox/media-box23:27
jdeslipClicking seemed to be pretty robust.  Entering text was a bit more difficult23:28
nhainesIt's pretty easy with a G1 or G2.  :)23:34
* pleia2 misses the proper keyboard23:35
pleia2I haven't seen the g2 yet, I'm glad they came out with one23:35
nhainesIt looks like a Nexus One with a slide-out keyboard.23:37
nhainesIt's also very heavy.  :)23:37
pleia2I like heavy, the nexus s is all plasticy and not heavy, no likey23:38
nhainesYeah, it feels like a nice, solid piece of kit.23:38
