[00:00] <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?"
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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.
[00:04] <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.
[00:05] <nhaines> s/letters/text/
[00:07] <iheartubuntu> should i use a goo.gl URL or the whole event URL
[00:10] <nhaines> Whichever is more memorable.
[00:12] <nhaines> iheartubuntu: also, top-align the Ubuntu logo and the QR code, I think.
[00:14] <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.  :)
[00:15] <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?
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <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.  :)
[00:18] <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)
[00:19] <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 :)
[00:20] <pleia2> dropbox.com/blafhoo/download-this-awesome-new-thing.deb
[00:20] <pleia2> oh yes, I'll do that!
[00:20]  * pleia2 headdesk
[00:22] <kdub> i remember back in the day when the trolls had fun with copy-paste commands on the forums
[00:23] <pleia2> I think some of the worst ones are actually added to the banned phrases list thse days
[00:26] <kdub> well, thats good, but there will always be a way to mess something up, no matter how extensive the banned phrases are
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <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"
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <seidos> it reminds me of PU-238
[00:31] <seidos> or Potassium dating
[00:31] <seidos> alphaparticles
[00:32] <kdub> potassium dating, like asking a banana out for coffee? :)
[00:34] <crashsystems> bah, bananas don't have much potassium
[00:34] <crashsystems> potatos have more than that
[00:38] <kdub> yeah, but potatoes arent as pretty
[00:38] <kdub> lololz
[00:40] <crashsystems> orange juice actually has the most potassium of any dietary source
[00:41] <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?
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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.
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <crashsystems> I did some reading up on potassium a while ago when I was having problems with heart palpitations.
[00:48] <kdub> i did extensive research on caffiene toxicity senior year of college :)
[00:49] <seidos> i heard walnuts are good for the heart
[00:49] <seidos> high in omega 3's
[00:50] <seidos> a potassium dating to try and calculate the age of the earth
[00:50] <seidos> you know, heathen stuff
[01:37] <seidos> just sent an email to the list on an event happening in Long Beach Boys and Girls club
[09:03] <nhaines> Oh, that's annoying.  Martin Owens deleted my comment and his response (and my pending comment) to his latest blog post.
