| nhaines | "view your data anywhere" might be better. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| iheartubuntu | i thougt about that too nhaines. its a placer unless something better comes up. same for the 5 points. | 00:00 |
| nhaines | Or "access information easily" | 00:00 |
| iheartubuntu | how about safe instead of secure? | 00:00 |
| akk | "as in pure freedom" might make people wonder "does that mean it's not cost-free?" | 00:00 |
| nhaines | Also please note I've been auditing all day so I'm in pendantic mode for another hour. :) | 00:01 |
| iheartubuntu | :) | 00:01 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: wait, your pendantic mode has an off switch? :P | 00:01 |
| iheartubuntu | why not give ubuntu a try? but im adding today. almost as if im making a point | 00:01 |
| iheartubuntu | HAHAHA | 00:01 |
| iheartubuntu | no ocmment | 00:02 |
| nhaines | pleia2: it's in the brochure at least! :P | 00:02 |
| * pleia2 chuckles | 00:02 | |
| * nhaines closes the lid on the inkwell. | 00:02 | |
| iheartubuntu | i also want this to pop a bit if its posted on university boards. so the 5 points (whatever they end up) i want to be there | 00:02 |
| iheartubuntu | poster concept from "sex drugs and rock and roll" poster. | 00:03 |
| iheartubuntu | :p | 00:03 |
| nhaines | BFT is always a good idea for fliers. | 00:03 |
| iheartubuntu | bft? | 00:04 |
| iheartubuntu | i know BLT | 00:04 |
| nhaines | I like akk's quit message not just for the nostalgia value but for the fact that it would drop cheap modems into command mode. | 00:04 |
| nhaines | The B stands for big and the T stand for letters. | 00:04 |
| nhaines | s/letters/text/ | 00:05 |
| iheartubuntu | should i use a goo.gl URL or the whole event URL | 00:07 |
| nhaines | Whichever is more memorable. | 00:10 |
| nhaines | iheartubuntu: also, top-align the Ubuntu logo and the QR code, I think. | 00:12 |
| iheartubuntu | im thinking the people walking by... only give a few seconds to anything... they will either scan the code or scribble down a short URL. something long and they will keep going | 00:14 |
| nhaines | Okay, I'm going to duck into the TS meeting and then split for the day. I'll see everyone later. :) | 00:14 |
| iheartubuntu | nhaines - what abotu dropping the UBUNTU logo to the bottrom even with the code, and put the url, whatever it will be, above | 00:15 |
| iheartubuntu | late ter | 00:15 |
| nhaines | But I leave you all with this question: If you were to pick up a quickstart guide to Ubuntu 11.04, what would you want to be in it? | 00:15 |
| pleia2 | software center (and a note about installing random .debs off the internet) | 00:16 |
| nhaines | I think that configuration would still look lopsided, but as always, try it all out (and hopefully be happy you started in Inkscape as you move things around). :) | 00:16 |
| pleia2 | and tips for using unity, it's unlike other desktops most users have used | 00:16 |
| nhaines | pleia2: "If you search for software and find a random PPA or orphan deb floating around, please install it at once." | 00:16 |
| pleia2 | D: | 00:16 |
| nhaines | haha | 00:16 |
| nhaines | Very astute, though. I would definitely want a section explaining why PPAs should not be used even if recommended on the Internet. | 00:17 |
| nhaines | Hopefully with enough info that readers could feel comfortable making the judgement call themselves. :) | 00:17 |
| kdub | some ppa's are good | 00:18 |
| kdub | i'd say most ppa's are good | 00:18 |
| pleia2 | some ppas are rootkits | 00:18 |
| pleia2 | (I don't actually know that, but they easily could be, any .deb can be) | 00:18 |
| pleia2 | there was an ubuntu news site that recommended people download this .deb that had no proper page themselves, just a dropbox link | 00:19 |
| kdub | sure, but an element of security is learning what to trust and what not to | 00:19 |
| pleia2 | it was pretty horrifying :) | 00:19 |
| pleia2 | dropbox.com/blafhoo/download-this-awesome-new-thing.deb | 00:20 |
| pleia2 | oh yes, I'll do that! | 00:20 |
| * pleia2 headdesk | 00:20 | |
| kdub | i remember back in the day when the trolls had fun with copy-paste commands on the forums | 00:22 |
| pleia2 | I think some of the worst ones are actually added to the banned phrases list thse days | 00:23 |
| kdub | well, thats good, but there will always be a way to mess something up, no matter how extensive the banned phrases are | 00:26 |
| seidos | whoa, it just hit me how hard user documentation for technology is. the stuff changes so fast | 00:27 |
| seidos | the syntax on this wiki didn't work for me: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gmail | 00:27 |
| seidos | but i found syntax that does | 00:28 |
| seidos | long story short, wow, change | 00:28 |
| kdub | yeah, anything written on line about most programs has a half-life | 00:28 |
| seidos | i've been hearing a lot about half-life lately | 00:29 |
| seidos | even the bot i made is halflife-bot | 00:29 |
| kdub | its a fun term to mean "exponential decay" | 00:29 |
| kdub | plus it brings back fun memories of crow-bars | 00:30 |
| seidos | halflife by Duncan Sheik: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEt5eE84pE0 | 00:30 |
| seidos | not a bad song | 00:30 |
| seidos | it reminds me of PU-238 | 00:31 |
| seidos | or Potassium dating | 00:31 |
| seidos | alphaparticles | 00:31 |
| kdub | potassium dating, like asking a banana out for coffee? :) | 00:32 |
| crashsystems | bah, bananas don't have much potassium | 00:34 |
| crashsystems | potatos have more than that | 00:34 |
| kdub | yeah, but potatoes arent as pretty | 00:38 |
| kdub | lololz | 00:38 |
| crashsystems | orange juice actually has the most potassium of any dietary source | 00:40 |
| crashsystems | one glass has about 480mg, while the highest supplement dose you can get without a prescription is 90mg. | 00:41 |
| kdub | isnt potassium poisonous in high doses? | 00:41 |
| MarkDude | At the ISA. Took some pics pleia2 :) | 00:44 |
| pleia2 | MarkDude: yay! thanks :) | 00:44 |
| iheartubuntu | i just printed up my flyer... all looks good, BUT the "u" in the word secure is a big square block. has anyone ever had this problem before printing from ubuntu? i wonder if its a font problem, an ubuntu prob, or the hp laserjet prob | 00:44 |
| MarkDude | Did a quick movie too | 00:44 |
| MarkDude | Had to work quickly before students arrived | 00:45 |
| crashsystems | iirc it is bad if you get too much, but most adults get about half of the FDA recommended amount. | 00:45 |
| crashsystems | so four glasses of orange juice per day would get the average adult to about what the FDA recommends. | 00:46 |
| kdub | i poked around wikipedia, it would be pretty hard to poison yourself with orange juice | 00:46 |
| crashsystems | I did some reading up on potassium a while ago when I was having problems with heart palpitations. | 00:47 |
| kdub | i did extensive research on caffiene toxicity senior year of college :) | 00:48 |
| seidos | i heard walnuts are good for the heart | 00:49 |
| seidos | high in omega 3's | 00:49 |
| seidos | a potassium dating to try and calculate the age of the earth | 00:50 |
| seidos | you know, heathen stuff | 00:50 |
| seidos | just sent an email to the list on an event happening in Long Beach Boys and Girls club | 01:37 |

| nhaines | Oh, that's annoying. Martin Owens deleted my comment and his response (and my pending comment) to his latest blog post. | 09:03 |
