| h00k | mikeputnam: it's okay, you didn't miss anything ;) | 02:09 |
| mikeputnam | heh | 02:09 |
| h00k | mikeputnam: what'd I miss? | 02:09 |
| mikeputnam | favrenation was just indicating their interest in linux | 02:09 |
| favrenation | so how often does this meeting take place? | 02:09 |
| mikeputnam | ubuntu specifically | 02:09 |
| mikeputnam | i mentioned newlug as a resource in Appleton | 02:10 |
| favrenation | ive tried puppy,debian,knoppix,crunchbang,damnsmall,fedora,AntiX,slitaz | 02:10 |
| mikeputnam | favrenation: http://newlug.org has the details. join their mailing list to stay aware of the meeting schedule | 02:10 |
| favrenation | what do you guys do there? | 02:10 |
| h00k | favrenation: oh, we try to have meetings once a month, but usually people are all "I LOVE TO PARTICIPATE AND I WANT TO DO THINGS" and then nobody shows up. | 02:10 |
| mikeputnam | and this channel is always watched for fellow linuxers | 02:11 |
| mikeputnam | also #wilug | 02:11 |
| favrenation | i am not much of an IRC person | 02:11 |
| mikeputnam | sacrelig! | 02:11 |
| favrenation | i use other IM's | 02:11 |
| h00k | #wilug is more for Linux in general, while the Ubuntu LoCo is mostly focused on Ubuntu (obviously) | 02:11 |
| mikeputnam | we use those too. (via IRC) | 02:11 |
| favrenation | ok is that freenode? | 02:11 |
| h00k | favrenation: I invite you to take our Interest Forum survey thing! | 02:12 |
| favrenation | sure | 02:12 |
| h00k | https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dElwRWd1QXRCV2dSYkQ2V1ZwZW1FRXc6MQ#gid=0 | 02:12 |
| mikeputnam | freenode is an IRC network. you are on it right now via #ubuntu-us-wi | 02:12 |
| mikeputnam | #wilug is on the same network | 02:12 |
| favrenation | ik | 02:13 |
| mikeputnam | also #dhmn if you happen to be interested in general "hacking/making" | 02:13 |
| mikeputnam | http://dhmn.net | 02:13 |
| favrenation | i mean to ask if the other channel was on freenode | 02:13 |
| mikeputnam | ah | 02:13 |
| favrenation | well Im 16 so IDK what I could contribute | 02:14 |
| mikeputnam | no one does, until they start talking to other people interested in linux | 02:14 |
| mikeputnam | bye-bye | 02:15 |
| h00k | baw | 02:15 |
| Favrenation | sorry back | 02:15 |

| Favrenation | lol | 02:16 |

| Favrenation | ? | 02:17 |
| mikeputnam | here we go | 02:17 |
| mikeputnam | http://www.instructables.com/id/CandyBot-v10/ | 02:17 |
| Favrenation | at appleton east there is a robotics team that would love this stuff | 02:17 |
| mikeputnam | that was submitted by our group | 02:17 |
| Favrenation | im in that TESLA engineering charter thing | 02:18 |
| mikeputnam | has nothing to do with linux, but was a fun hack anyway | 02:18 |
| mikeputnam | really! | 02:18 |
| mikeputnam | i went to the last open house | 02:18 |
| Favrenation | yeah | 02:18 |
| mikeputnam | great fun | 02:18 |
| Favrenation | u in highschool too? | 02:18 |
| mikeputnam | nah | 02:18 |
| mikeputnam | i'm old and treacherous | 02:18 |
| Favrenation | why did u go to the open house? | 02:18 |
| mikeputnam | because robots are cool | 02:19 |
| mikeputnam | and people who like robots are cool | 02:19 |
| h00k | horray. | 02:19 |
| mikeputnam | it's fun to talk to clever people | 02:19 |
| Favrenation | lol | 02:19 |
| mikeputnam | like linux enthusiasts or robot makers or programmers etc | 02:19 |
| Favrenation | i never found interest in robot making in general i like to make websites and fix up old shitty pc's | 02:20 |
| mikeputnam | yes! | 02:20 |
| mikeputnam | i too like those same things | 02:20 |
| mikeputnam | though the fixing of junk pc's has started to become a bit less interesting over time | 02:21 |
| Favrenation | yeah | 02:21 |
| Favrenation | once u fix them up u can't really do much with them | 02:21 |
| mikeputnam | don't get me wrong, my house is filled with hand-me-down computers but it's just not the focus anymore | 02:21 |
| h00k | htop | 02:22 |
| Favrenation | yeah | 02:22 |
| h00k | ...you're not my server. | 02:22 |
| Favrenation | htop? | 02:22 |
| h00k | wrong button. | 02:22 |
| h00k | er, window. | 02:22 |

| lubotu1 | htop (source: htop): interactive processes viewer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.3-1ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 61 kB, installed size 212 kB | 02:22 |
| mikeputnam | well Favrenation, i encourage you to join the ubuntu-us-wi mailing list, the newlug mailing list, the http://dhmn.net mailing list | 02:22 |
| h00k | mailing lists are fun, that's where most of the across/cross-group talk is | 02:23 |
| Favrenation | ok | 02:23 |
| Favrenation | i joined the ubunt wisconsin one | 02:23 |
| mikeputnam | irc is secondary for real-timish communication if you hang out on a computer a lot (which we all do) | 02:23 |
| Favrenation | i just joined to see if it is not dead | 02:24 |
| Favrenation | i was not expecting to find people on here | 02:24 |
| mikeputnam | if you are considering going to a newlug / dhmn meeting or event, bring some friends who also like robots, programming, linux, etc | 02:24 |
| mikeputnam | more the merrier | 02:24 |
| Favrenation | yeah i can probably do that | 02:25 |
| Favrenation | which was id better suited for me | 02:25 |
| mikeputnam | well, i need to step away for a bit. nice meeting you Favrenation | 02:27 |
| Favrenation | yeah nice meeting you too | 02:27 |
| h00k | and I just finished some work for a client, so I'll be poking around here a while | 02:29 |
| h00k | I've been gone on vacation, now I need to catch up on work. | 02:29 |

| * mikeputnam busies himself with node.js on 10.04 | 03:49 | |
| h00k | I still don't know what node.js is yet. | 03:49 |
| h00k | I should do that someday. | 03:49 |
| h00k | for now, I'll stick with finishing wedding-rsvp on my ruby-on-rails | 03:50 |
| h00k | ah, node.js looks kinda neat | 03:51 |
| h00k | but I'll stick with what I'm trying to learn for now ;) | 03:52 |
| mikeputnam | it's just server-side javascript | 03:53 |
| mikeputnam | sort of php but with javascript | 03:54 |
| h00k | yep | 03:54 |
| mikeputnam | and way fast | 03:54 |
| h00k | BLAZING | 03:54 |
