[00:07] <iheartubuntu> nickels have reached 7.5 cents a piece (up from 7.3 a week or so ago) thats a 3% increase
[00:08] <iheartubuntu> investing in nickels pays better than a savings acct
[00:08] <iheartubuntu> >:o
[00:08] <pleia2> does investing mean you collect a lot of nickels?
[00:08] <iheartubuntu> more or less ;)
[00:09] <pleia2> hehe
[00:09] <iheartubuntu> i bought YOKU stock a week ago.. its up 17% (the chinese youtube)
[00:11] <iheartubuntu> pre 1982 pennies are worth 3 cents
[00:11] <iheartubuntu> but, my tire on my wheel barrow broke
[00:13] <nhaines> It should be noted that the destruction of US currency is a federal offense.
[00:13] <nhaines> And is handled by the US Secret Service!  :D
[00:13] <iheartubuntu> :)
[00:14] <iheartubuntu> the value of the dollar has dropped something like 97% since the federal reserve was enacted
[00:14] <iheartubuntu> yikes
[00:14] <iheartubuntu> i figure theres more chinese people doing YOKU than there are americans doing youtube (like what 14x more?) how can they not make ad money
[00:17] <iheartubuntu> a youku search on "ubuntu"... http://www.soku.com/search_video/q_ubuntu
[00:21] <iheartubuntu> cute KFC ads before the videos
[00:21] <iheartubuntu> i would have never thought to go to KFC for breakfast
[00:23] <iheartubuntu> some interesting comments on the videos... "gorgeous", "so great", "aahhhh my eyes" and they are also talking about the dock bar wether its cairo dock or docky
[00:25] <iheartubuntu> on a compiz video someone commented "this is how the penguins boost their followers". it makes me feel like im  a penguin now! flap flap!

[02:44] <iheartubuntu_> i must say, it was probably easier telling people to go to IRC #ubuntu-california than it is #ubuntu-us-ca.
[02:44]  * iheartubuntu_ misses the old irc
[02:45] <DarkwingDuck> I believe ubuntu-california forwards here still
[02:50] <pleia2> yeah, it does
[02:51] <iheartubuntu_> oh thats good
[02:53] <iheartubuntu_> several people told me they liked the
[02:54] <iheartubuntu_> "reasons to love ubuntu" poster http://spreadubuntu.org/files/poster-01.png
[02:54] <iheartubuntu_> in fact one guy wanted to take ours home to his daughter!
[02:57] <DarkwingDuck> I couldn't believe the positive responce I got to Kubuntu

[03:19] <iheartubuntu> hmmmm. even google cache of VB is not coming up
[03:19] <iheartubuntu> all other sites work fine for me
[03:22] <iheartubuntu> how are you jledbetter - sorry we missed you at scale
[03:25] <jledbetter> great, iheartubuntu. And you? Hopefully next scale :)
[03:25] <iheartubuntu> seidos - if you are up to doing an ubuntu hour, you should agree to the code of conduct http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct
[03:26] <iheartubuntu> im really energized from scale
[03:26] <pleia2> :D
[03:26] <pleia2> just sent in my application for UDS sponsorship

[03:28] <iheartubuntu> akgraner wrote a nice piece about ubuntu hours here http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu/Ubuntu-Hour-Coffee-Company-Ubuntu-and-You
[03:28] <jledbetter> pleia2, Woo hoo!

[03:32]  * iheartubuntu heart skips a beat
[03:36] <iheartubuntu> my time here has finished. i must hop aboard my pony and ride into the cold darkness (im getting in my car and driving home in a nicely heated car)
[03:37] <pleia2> night, iheartubuntu :)
[03:37] <iheartubuntu> night lyz, night all (studying for my UCP again finally)
[03:54] <Torikun2> Yo
[03:55] <Torikun2> Gidget kitchen is ofering a Amazon Ec2 public instance. It is free until October. After that, everyone shares the cost which will make it affodable for many people. Let me know if your interested. You get http, ssh, mysql, webmail, ftp, and whatever.
[07:45] <seidos> i should've gave that 4 year old girl a ton of meerkat stickers to give to her friends at school
[07:45] <seidos> oh wait, she probably wasn't in school yet
[07:45] <seidos> i need to just talk in my head now
[07:59] <nhaines> Yay, I'm running natty on my laptop computer.
[08:22] <seidos> what's going on nhaines?
[17:17] <iheartubuntu> pleia2 - does the Ubuntu Women project have any artwork I could put up on my website?
[17:17] <iheartubuntu> i want to link up to thep roject
[17:24] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: yep http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Resources
[17:24] <iheartubuntu> great, thank you. i will be adding it in a prominent place
[17:25] <pleia2> thanks :)
[17:29] <iheartubuntu> i would want to link to http://ubuntu-women.com/ correct? not the launchpad page
[17:30] <pleia2> yeah
[21:56] <MarkDude> Pics from Scale- http://www.flickr.com/photos/99725460@N00/sets/72157626170454478/
[21:56] <MarkDude> Allison rocks!
[22:28] <iheartubuntu> i am planning to place an order from the ubuntu shop if anyone is interested. http://shop.canonical.com/ Here is how the shipping prices tend to go. 1 item ordered - $9to$14 depending on whats ordered. 5 items ordered the shipping price drops to about $7 per piece. and 10+ items ordered shipping drops to about $5 each
[22:29] <pleia2> ah, nice
[22:32] <iheartubuntu> i will order in a week or two, so start checking items now. theres some good "swag" in the sale section, not to mention a meerkat shirt, and the backpacks, and who wouldnt want a 4GB USB key??
[22:33] <iheartubuntu> i will ship items out promptly when the box arrives, but to save myself money i will ship items to each of you the cheapest USPS method (rickshaw if i have to!)
[22:34] <iheartubuntu> if the item is big and bulky, say a backpack, i'll have to charge you exact shipping method to you (might be cheaper to buy the item yourself then)
[22:35] <iheartubuntu> but most stuff like shirts, stickers, mice, etc are going to only be a couple bucks so i wont worry about it
[22:36] <iheartubuntu> if you plan to order 100 or 200 CDs, shipping is free so i wont add these to this order, you can order them yourselves. i wouldnt want to slow down the entire order with a mass quantity CD order
[22:41] <iheartubuntu> if you are thinking of getting an Ubuntu Hour going, already have an Ubuntu Hour going, speak at LUGs, or whatever... make yourself look smarter with official Ubuntu gear :)
[22:41] <iheartubuntu> pleia2 - i can post this to the mailing list if you want
[22:42] <iheartubuntu> if all goes well this time around and everyone is happy with things, I would be willing to do a quarterly shipment.
[22:42] <iheartubuntu> (california members only)
[22:43] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: yeah, go for it
[22:43] <iheartubuntu> k
