iheartubuntuMy brother just got a hold of me is doing pretty good. He moved his wife and elderly mom to his brother in laws house in Osaka.03:07
iheartubuntuHe also sent me some articles about a seismologist who predicted the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. The new prediction is for California from March 19 to March 26. He is basing this on a few factors:03:15
iheartubuntu#1- the moon is at its closest approach in many years to earth, #2- the equinoctial tide bringing together three of the maximum tide raising forcesĀ  and #3- the strange movement of fish, birds and whales around Southern California.03:16
iheartubuntuIf you recall there were billions of dead fish washing ashore in Redondo Beach this past week and also reports of whales close to shore in SD03:17

jhana-froghmmm, i don't get empathy :(21:22
grantbowxchat (non gnome) is better :-)21:24
jhana-frogno way, xchat doesn't support facebook chat ;)21:24
grantbowheaven forbid! lol21:24
jhana-froggoogle talk?21:25
grantbowif you are doing all that you might want to run a proxy anyway21:26
jhana-frogi want to try the voice and video stuff that allegedly is supported21:26
jhana-frogmaybe i can join an in person meeting that way :)21:28
grantbowxchat really is focused on IRC. I haven't tried it with other systems.21:28
grantbowpidgeon is good21:29
jhana-frogwhy is empathy bundled with ubuntu?21:29
grantbowgood question. the IRC support hasn't been great. I hope it's improved.21:29
grantbowthe reason had something to do with the back end as I recall21:30
jhana-frogi wonder if i should ask in #ubuntu-motu21:31
grantbowI see a brainstorm.ubuntu.com item on it for Ubuntu 9.1021:32
jhana-froglink?21:33
