[00:00] ok thanks [00:10] nhaines: yeah, that's mostly been my experience too :) I even had one lug *ask me* to post announcements to their list too [00:10] pleia2: well, I do have a good relationship with OCLUG anyway, so I'm sure that helps. :) [00:11] yeah, I was at a meeting for that lug when they asked me so the relationship was there [00:11] and I ran the philly lug so I always gave myself permission to post :D [00:11] I do sometimes argue with myself over debian vs ubuntu though [00:12] nhaines: sorry, didn't see your q earlier. The svlug installfests I went to were a bunch of guys who knew each other sitting at tables talking to each other [00:13] nhaines: so it was kinda hard to break in if you were new and shy. [00:13] akk: awww. Yeah, that's something to try and avoid. [00:14] If I were organizing one, I'd have some kind of indicator (t-shirt, armband, sign or whatever) people could wear to indicate "I'm a helper, ask me your questions!" [00:14] that reminds me, i lost my ubuntu pin :( [00:14] i still have my SCaLE pin [00:15] i should check the ubuntu store for a replacement [00:15] armbands would be cool [00:15] and maybe a little more organization so there's some clue that "at this table, we're helping this newbie get ubuntu installed, but over at this table we're brainstorming about this weird X or programming problem, and at this table we're trying to figure out why sound doesn't work on this laptop" [00:16] not quite sure how you indicate that, but it's tough for someone walking in to know where they can go to ask questions (maybe a "start here" person?) [00:16] would there be a fun table? [00:16] party hats and juggling [00:16] I was showing up as "I can help anyone who needs help, or if not, I have this sound problem and would love people to brainstorm with me about it" [00:17] but I ended up just sitting by myself hacking on something because I couldn't figure out who was already busy vs. who might be interested in helping [00:17] i was being serious, the IBM guys at SCaLE told me to juggle after i called him Batman...he actually looked like Bruce Wayne [00:17] sure, random fun stuff is always ... fun :) [00:17] ohhhhh [00:18] "interested" is the key word there [00:18] though I'm not sure nonstop juggling makes for an ideal installfest either [00:18] i'm also interested, just not very useful in able to help [00:18] unless you need someone to talk the problem about with [00:18] because you are tired of talking to yourself [00:18] Sometimes that helps a lot, just having a sympathetic ear to listen and help brainstorm. [00:18] which i can relate to, since talking to yourself is often frowned upon [00:19] yeah, a person to bounce ideas off [00:19] I've solved programming problems just by describing them to someone who doesn't program much themselves. [00:19] akk: at one of the philly ones we had a sign in sheet that we had a sign near, people could indicate why they were there (helper? giant computer in your car you help bringing in?) and someone lurking near the sign in sheet to help direct people [00:19] But you don't want to start unloading on someone who might not be interested. [00:19] multiprocessing ;) [00:19] pleia2: Right! That would have helped immensely. [00:20] You don't want to saddle somebody with "do nothing but sit by yourself by the sign-in table in case someone comes in" [00:20] but having someone keeping an eye on the door to greet people and show them the sign-in as they come in would be great. [00:20] mostly the sign-in sheet wasn't actually used, but it was nice for when no one was right at the door to direct people, they at least felt there was something they could do (sign in) rather than standing around [00:20] i would offer to walk around asking everyone what they are working on, etc. but that would be annoying [00:20] and yeah, doesn't need to be a formal sign-in sheet -- just somebody know knows who's there, who knows what, who's busy or not [00:21] what about a table that's like "a bar" [00:21] "Oh, you have a sound problem? Sara over there is really good with sound" [00:21] a free for all table [00:21] where you can snoop [00:21] legally [00:21] okay fine, not snoop, but "inquire" [00:21] seidos: I tried shoulder-surfing on a convo that was already going on, but I felt sort of unwelcome doing that. [00:22] * seidos sneezes [00:22] akk: was it at the free for all table? [00:22] or the "this is our clique, and you must earn your entry into it" table? [00:23] seidos: shrug, there were just a bunch of tables, you tell me [00:23] i wasn't there, so i don't know [00:24] It's not like tables are labeled as "clique" and "free" [00:24] and even if i was... [00:24] but none of them seemed to have space for a new shy person to join in [00:24] i know, i was running with your idea [00:24] i think i got lost in my own imagination [00:24] sorry [00:24] hehe [00:25] they were probably just too busy thinking about something to do the social thing [00:25] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Installfest-HOWTO/ is actually quite good for planning [00:25] i should wear a sticker on my forehead that says "talk to me, i'm absent minded" [00:26] just in case [00:27] i always get stumped at "where" [00:27] i should probably go to the adult school here [00:27] pleia2: ooh, it's still being updated. [00:27] see if there is space there [00:27] That howto does look useful. [00:28] nhaines: yeah :) [00:28] it's the only thing on tldp.org that's being updated ;) [00:28] pleia2: that's what surprised me. [00:29] I tend to be more relaxed about food/drink money stuff, a donation bucket for food tends to work out great, I rarely end up with out of pocket expenses [00:29] but I guess that depends on the area, you do have to be willing to handle the financial burden if you end up with one :) [00:30] what's the worse case scenario in terms of the $? [00:30] you spend $100 on pizza and no one donates anything [00:30] hmmm $100, that's quite a bit [00:30] well not every event requires $100 of pizza ;) [00:30] i think i'd bring beans and bolillos [00:31] and as I said, I've never had a problem with donations [00:31] pleia2: what I like most about the document is the time frame given. Too many people in this LoCo would call for 3-hour-long installfests. :P [00:31] people are mostly good and I more often than not end up with too much money [00:31] pleia2: seed money for the next one. [00:31] where do you usually have them pleia2? [00:31] nhaines: oh yeah, people are horrible at estimating how long it will take [00:32] I think the shortest one I've done was 6 hours, and it was tight [00:32] pleia2: I'm sure I've been called unreasonable. :) I always recommend 5 minimum and refuse to do less than 4. [00:32] for a second i thought you were saying 3 hours was too much [00:32] And by "recommend" I mean as in "Recommended Minimum System Requirements" like on PC game boxes. ;) [00:33] or for ubuntu [00:33] seidos: back in philly we often had companies host them (usually a member of the lug/loco would offer space at the company they worked at) or at a local hackerspace (we did one in philly at hive76, one in SF at noisebridge) [00:33] i'm surprised there isn't more going on at CSULB [00:33] i remember the being programming competitions there [00:33] i'm probably just not in the loop [00:35] i'll have to go again, see if i can talk to someone in the comp sci department...not sure about the business department [00:35] they didn't use linux at all when i was going there [00:35] oh, we did one at a local computer recycling place ones too, that was cool, lots of spare parts! [00:36] s/ones/once [00:40] the computer recycling place here is at ucla [00:41] only one i know of [01:31] ubuntu, gets all the tough stains out, now with turbo handling! [06:20] although Chrome has always had its little bugs for me, i notice i can have tons more tabs open than if i were to have the same # of tabs open in FF. wasnt that the idea for each tab when chrome was conceived? === Guest28722 is now known as seidos [07:58] kind of weird, looks like empathy doesn't authenticate to nickserv on a reconnect [07:58] i downloaded the source code, but i can never make heads or tales of multiple files [08:00] chrome is quite zippy, with it's breaking out each tab as a separate process [08:00] but i'm trying to rally around the default install of ubuntu [08:00] i should try out natty in a vm [08:04] i notice in the newest version of chrome, you can view "background pages" from the wrench icon and then see what pages are using the resources [08:11] there was something like that in chromium [08:15] not like she would ever know [08:16] im not suggesting. just sayin :) [08:21] the national tour? [08:21] you would think itsgoing to be right here in LA [08:22] i dunno, stuff could get linked on the site unofficially [08:22] probability of win [08:22] i would go [08:23] have u checked prices? [08:24] could be cause for a road trip [08:24] im going to have a(nother) beer [08:24] not [08:24] actually its about time for my next triple shot [08:26] i can go till 6am, shower and then head out to work [08:30] notice how twitter grinds to a halt at 2am [08:30] philip [08:30] dave [08:30] whats up [08:30] see i am on irc now [08:31] we are doing a one way road trip fueled by espresso and redbull to see hashtagwinning [08:32] red bull is key, what keeps you up exactly? [08:32] espresso [08:32] triple shot [08:32] 10pm and 2am [08:32] for what reasons? [08:32] 630am im out the door [08:33] where to? [08:33] who the heck is this iheartubuntu guy anyways [08:33] to work [08:34] for sure. yes. this iheartubuntu guy is pretty cool. or at least that website makes him look cool!!! [08:34] probably the 2nd one [08:34] perhaps i need something to make me cool [08:34] especially if you turn the monitor upside down to see the secret characters like a beatles album [08:35] or play there album backwords...have you heard of that [08:35] you need hashtagubuntu [08:35] i mean [08:35] hashtagubuntu-us-ca [08:35] thats coolness [08:36] yes [08:36] but their album covers speakvolumes [08:37] i often do #ubuntu or #linux. perhaps now that im trying to help get a ubuntu hour started here ill do the .ca one. but in a month im moving back up north for summer... [08:37] i feel the real paulmccartney passed away in an auto accident [08:37] so hes really dead but elvis is alive? [08:38] i think elviss soul is still alive [08:38] does that count? [08:39] well does soul ever die? [08:39] most would say no :) [08:39] you are talking about r&b right? [08:39] just kidding :) [08:40] i got sole...but im not a soldier! [08:40] amen [08:41] perhaps with a great media player like banshee you can play that. btw, that player crashed on me today. i should probably not have the ppa installed but i like the new version [08:42] do u knwo the version number [08:42] it has been pretty stable for me lately. but not sure what version im running. i think i went back to the stable release [08:43] im running 1.95. i get daily updates of it. sometimes two or three times a day [08:43] im running 1.8.1 [08:43] 87 GB of music [08:44] theres talk of them putting dvd support into it soon i have 85..darn, perahaps a music swap someday? [08:44] i dont now why i have so much now with then et you can just listen to stuff on the fly [08:44] ive got a ton of reggae (owned record label) [08:44] so ive got some marley and tosh tracks unreleased [08:45] tosh son did some demos with me in pasadena back in the day [08:45] i bought all the beatles discs in moscow for $1 haha [08:45] when you live in a college dorm room and a 16 gig flash drive music seems to build fast. ive never done rege (played drums for 9 years) but sounds intresting. are you from russia? [08:46] nyet. wife is [08:46] drums? nice [08:46] ive heard one too many drummer jokes in my day [08:47] what r u listening to [08:47] i liek a lot of old ragtime jazz [08:47] hum. my brother dated a girl from passidena area full russian. its a great insturment. though i dont have it here. it is chilling back home in the small town of auburn california [08:47] currently the band is called animal collective [08:47] when my house turns 100 im doing a big house birthday bash with live jazz band [08:47] welcome to come!

(yes, i am new to this area) [08:51] cool music [08:51] it kind of has a keane vibe [08:51] at the risk of sounding weak, that stuff makes me cry if i'm in the right mood [08:51] thank you. perhaps you should start dancing!!! [08:51] real men cry! [08:52] i wouldn't know how to dance this stuff [08:52] it shaws abaility to know how to deal with problems [08:52] maybe spinning, spinning, spinning towards freedom [08:52] so yur bro is in that band? with 5 million page views?

[09:01] stap? who says that? [09:01] geeks rule!!! [09:01] yeah, like Rich Franklin [09:01] dude is an English teacher and he beat Chuck Liddel [09:01] in fistacuffs [09:02] i haven't seen the fight [09:02] i don't like violence [09:02] this geek rules... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2617/4186388972_27be190d4b.jpg [09:02] i dont think many people like voilance [09:02] so once a day right? [09:03] geek writes a script to reboot his computer 1000x a day [09:03] dies from exhaustion [09:03] different version (better) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwZd-KFk4OQ [09:03] every jujitsu teacher i ever had did [09:04] i reboot my computer to many times each day. i have to turn it of. if i close the lad and re open it it wont boot back again [09:04] i like Linkin Parks "waiting the end" [09:04] that's a fun song to dance to i think [09:04] have u heard this song??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrO5J7TdS7c [09:04] the trolololo man [09:04] do you use s3 suspend? [09:05] whats s3? yes i am kinda dumb [09:05] it's like the random assignment for "sleep" [09:06] some number, just ignore that [09:07] hum. i was gonna have dave look at it if hes at the ubuntu hour next week. im trying to find a way to have when i close my lid on the laptop my music still plays. like insomniax [09:07] nirvanic :) [09:07] when you go to a college where most of the people use osx you get to know the applactions [09:09] Happy St.Patricks Day to all! [09:10] i'm trying to find highlights of the liddel franklin fight [09:10] a liek a lot of french chanson music too [09:11] if i knew what you were wearing i might have to pinch you [09:12] why [09:12] ohhh [09:12] here is typical russian pop music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jJR4MhUDtc [09:13] we're still dancing right? [09:13] or should i sit down [09:13] im kinda winded personally [09:14] so ive been dancing and youve been at the punch bowl this whole time? [09:14] hhhhmmppfff! [09:14] i get like "girl with a dragon tattoo" vibe from this song [09:15] o.O [09:16] -_- [09:16] Good night california! [09:16] it's funny how girls stay girls, and boys become guys or men [09:16] and hear i thought dragon was a bot [09:17] funny sad, not funny ha ha [09:17] i've never met him/her [09:17] its a very cultural thing that determines what happens to them and their gender [09:18] gender? or sex? [09:19] this song is win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpRfC8Vl1q4 [09:19] gender. [09:20] it's like transcendental nirvanic potential pure abode [09:20] cultural pretty much encapsulates all human behavior [09:20] form choices [09:20] its good [09:20] magic [09:21] unreal acting, not real hell [09:21] fear the pain, not the reaper [09:22] front lobe concentration causes drowsiness [09:22] another russian pop song.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHX8tIGPNAY [09:22] by the group "Vintage" [09:22] featuring Elena Korikova [09:22] very popular overthere [09:22] future communicates with the past [09:22] these russians know how to boogie [09:22] manifestation in the now, of beings of tomorrow [09:23] there is a lot of subtext to the video [09:23] head in the clouds, feet on the ground [09:23] hermetic philosophy [09:23] as above so below [09:24] heaven and hell demand relinquishment [09:24] i wonder if gwibber crashed again [09:24] i used it yesterday [09:25] reasons for placement in the matrix, invisible [09:25] nope. i posted that 30 minutes ago [09:25] u guys still at the punchbowl? [09:25] are we talkin litteral punchbowl? [09:25] we can hit Dennys after this [09:25] haha "punch bowl", is that UFC? MMA? [09:26] i never go to Denny's anymore [09:26] im out of it. i live in the college bubble [09:26] after i was choked unconscious there [09:26] IHOP ftw [09:26] come to sd and theres a denneys here! [09:26] let the fail crumble away [09:26] only when im coming down the 395 [09:26] i usually got o a bakery, not dennys [09:26] this song isn't that great without the video [09:26] heh [09:26] haha [09:27] thats the clean version [09:27] porn music videos?

[09:27] its typical russian pop. im not saying yay or nay [09:28] how many butchered bodies line the road to Eternal Entanglement? [09:29] possible and impossible are unknown, not even probable is calculated by mere unscientific mortals [09:29] im seeing double [09:29] precogs lay in sensory deprivation tanks [09:29] glass of water always helps! [09:30] i'm almost ready to let consciousness slip into oblivion, only rearise again [09:30] perhaps a metaphor for being itself [09:30] where are the flatliners to verify it? [09:30] fudge bar [09:30] i don't trust doctors [09:31] they probably already did it at the CIA [09:31] they may even be watching now [09:31] high on dimethyltriptamine [09:31] but the cia uses linux? [09:31] dmt huh? [09:31] beats me [09:31] i believe some groups [09:31] i'm not in the CIA :| [09:31] where are the men who stare at goats? [09:31] were all in the cia [09:32] employed as test subjects! [09:32] not if youre at the punchbowl [09:32] who's the NOC? [09:32] oh damn [09:32] * seidos gets knocked out at the punchbowl [09:32] i really need to get more knowlege of this punchbowl thing [09:33] maybe it's where charlie sheen knocks me out [09:34] its funny it took a natural distster to get him off the news [09:34] yah [09:34] #punchbowl [09:34] here's another pleasant tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5ti4OERTiw [09:34] push [09:35] thats melodic [09:35] very good tune [09:38] has anyone here finished the UCP?

[09:44] my problem isn't training, it's lack of motivation [09:44] i should build an ecommerce config for my site [09:45] i wonder if content in a database is indexed just as good as straight html by google [09:48] thats scary [09:48] there must be some redundancy so google couldnt just query anything. [09:48] some sort of wall [09:50] have you heard of the SuperGamer LiveCD? its actually a DVD [09:50] Quake Wars [09:50] Doom 3 [09:50]
