[00:00] "view your data anywhere" might be better. [00:00] i thougt about that too nhaines. its a placer unless something better comes up. same for the 5 points. [00:00] Or "access information easily" [00:00] how about safe instead of secure? [00:00] "as in pure freedom" might make people wonder "does that mean it's not cost-free?" [00:01] Also please note I've been auditing all day so I'm in pendantic mode for another hour. :) [00:01] :) [00:01] nhaines: wait, your pendantic mode has an off switch? :P [00:01] why not give ubuntu a try? but im adding today. almost as if im making a point [00:01] HAHAHA [00:02] no ocmment [00:02] pleia2: it's in the brochure at least! :P [00:02] * pleia2 chuckles [00:02] * nhaines closes the lid on the inkwell. [00:02] 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 [00:03] poster concept from "sex drugs and rock and roll" poster. [00:03] :p [00:03] BFT is always a good idea for fliers. [00:04] bft? [00:04] i know BLT [00:04] 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] The B stands for big and the T stand for letters. [00:05] s/letters/text/ [00:07] should i use a goo.gl URL or the whole event URL [00:10] Whichever is more memorable. [00:12] iheartubuntu: also, top-align the Ubuntu logo and the QR code, I think. [00:14] 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] Okay, I'm going to duck into the TS meeting and then split for the day. I'll see everyone later. :) [00:15] 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] late ter [00:15] 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? [00:16] software center (and a note about installing random .debs off the internet) [00:16] 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] and tips for using unity, it's unlike other desktops most users have used [00:16] pleia2: "If you search for software and find a random PPA or orphan deb floating around, please install it at once." [00:16] D: [00:16] haha [00:17] Very astute, though. I would definitely want a section explaining why PPAs should not be used even if recommended on the Internet. [00:17] Hopefully with enough info that readers could feel comfortable making the judgement call themselves. :) [00:18] some ppa's are good [00:18] i'd say most ppa's are good [00:18] some ppas are rootkits [00:18] (I don't actually know that, but they easily could be, any .deb can be) [00:19] there was an ubuntu news site that recommended people download this .deb that had no proper page themselves, just a dropbox link [00:19] sure, but an element of security is learning what to trust and what not to [00:19] it was pretty horrifying :) [00:20] dropbox.com/blafhoo/download-this-awesome-new-thing.deb [00:20] oh yes, I'll do that! [00:20] * pleia2 headdesk [00:22] i remember back in the day when the trolls had fun with copy-paste commands on the forums [00:23] I think some of the worst ones are actually added to the banned phrases list thse days [00:26] well, thats good, but there will always be a way to mess something up, no matter how extensive the banned phrases are [00:27] whoa, it just hit me how hard user documentation for technology is. the stuff changes so fast [00:27] the syntax on this wiki didn't work for me: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gmail [00:28] but i found syntax that does [00:28] long story short, wow, change [00:28] yeah, anything written on line about most programs has a half-life [00:29] i've been hearing a lot about half-life lately [00:29] even the bot i made is halflife-bot [00:29] its a fun term to mean "exponential decay" [00:30] plus it brings back fun memories of crow-bars [00:30] halflife by Duncan Sheik: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEt5eE84pE0 [00:30] not a bad song [00:31] it reminds me of PU-238 [00:31] or Potassium dating [00:31] alphaparticles [00:32] potassium dating, like asking a banana out for coffee? :) [00:34] bah, bananas don't have much potassium [00:34] potatos have more than that [00:38] yeah, but potatoes arent as pretty [00:38] lololz [00:40] orange juice actually has the most potassium of any dietary source [00:41] one glass has about 480mg, while the highest supplement dose you can get without a prescription is 90mg. [00:41] isnt potassium poisonous in high doses? [00:44] At the ISA. Took some pics pleia2 :) [00:44] MarkDude: yay! thanks :) [00:44] 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] Did a quick movie too [00:45] Had to work quickly before students arrived [00:45] iirc it is bad if you get too much, but most adults get about half of the FDA recommended amount. [00:46] so four glasses of orange juice per day would get the average adult to about what the FDA recommends. [00:46] i poked around wikipedia, it would be pretty hard to poison yourself with orange juice [00:47] I did some reading up on potassium a while ago when I was having problems with heart palpitations. [00:48] i did extensive research on caffiene toxicity senior year of college :) [00:49] i heard walnuts are good for the heart [00:49] high in omega 3's [00:50] a potassium dating to try and calculate the age of the earth [00:50] you know, heathen stuff [01:37] just sent an email to the list on an event happening in Long Beach Boys and Girls club === seidos is now known as kevin6778450 === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [09:03] Oh, that's annoying.
