| iheartubuntu1 | knock knock? | 02:56 |
| crashsystems | hello world | 02:56 |
| iheartubuntu1 | crashsystems did u ever figure out dreamweaver | 02:57 |
| crashsystems | It has been many, many years since I've bothered to touch dreamweaver. I think you've got the wrong person. | 02:58 |
| iheartubuntu1 | ohh maybe :| | 02:58 |
| * iheartubuntu1 hits head on desk | 02:58 | |
| iheartubuntu1 | here is my almost final flyer for Ubuntu Hour coming up in Pasadena http://ubuntuone.com/p/mBE/ | 02:58 |
| iheartubuntu1 | I want to start posting these tomorrow | 02:59 |
| iheartubuntu1 | does anyone have any final recommendations/ | 02:59 |
| iheartubuntu1 | still not sure on the "open" line | 02:59 |
| crashsystems | https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/04/eff-san-francisco-entertainment-commission-don-t | 02:59 |
| iheartubuntu1 | nhaines suggested "OPEN - easy to access your data" or something to that effect | 03:00 |
| iheartubuntu1 | EFF was at scale9x | 03:00 |
| iheartubuntu1 | they are also helping a fellow urban home blogger out down here in LA | 03:01 |
| iheartubuntu1 | another blogger trademarked the term "urban homestead" and this other blogger had already written a book "urban homesteading" | 03:01 |
| iheartubuntu1 | now EFF is stepping in to help the authors of the book | 03:01 |
| iheartubuntu1 | the blgoger family that trademarked urban homestead has sent out cease and desist letters to those who have used the urban homesteading words | 03:02 |
| iheartubuntu1 | ---- | 03:03 |
| crashsystems | -_- | 03:03 |
| crashsystems | ice cream truck... I've not heard one of those in years | 03:03 |
| iheartubuntu1 | regarding my flyer, im also thinking about making it more generic, but then it will be harder to find the particular event | 03:03 |
| iheartubuntu1 | something more generic like directing people to go to the Ubuntu Hour main site, and then they would have to search for a local event themselves | 03:04 |
| akk | We still have people pushing ice cream carts in this neighborhood (as well as a truck that drives around). | 03:05 |
| akk | I'd never seen the hand-carts anywhere else I've lived. | 03:05 |
| iheartubuntu1 | i like listening to Dr. Katherine Albrecht. She wrote a book called Spychips. Interesting read. Talking about how everything is going RFID | 03:06 |
| iheartubuntu1 | 4 years ago she was talking about NYC taxi drivers didnt want RFID badges, now its coming | 03:07 |
| iheartubuntu1 | Its the first step towards everyone having some form of RFID that can be scanned for paying for food, for getting a paycheck, a welfare check, etc. Next you'll need an RFID drivers licence to get in your own car | 03:08 |
| akk | I'm kind of surprised drivers licenses haven't gone RFID yet. I keep expecting it to happen (and dreading it). | 03:09 |
| iheartubuntu1 | or iris scan | 03:10 |
| iheartubuntu1 | someplace i saw the military is now scanning the irises of all killed people in the various wars going on to create a database | 03:11 |
| iheartubuntu1 | another war and its going to look like we are the aggressors | 03:12 |
| akk | A database of dead people's irises? What good is that? | 03:13 |
| iheartubuntu1 | the only thing i can think of is to confirm some of the particular taliban or al-CIAda rebels are dead for sure based on a database already in place? | 03:14 |
| iheartubuntu1 | they would be matching up irises like they do fingerprints | 03:15 |

| iheartubuntu | do we have any chess players here? | 19:17 |
| kevin7060 | i've dabbled | 19:17 |
| kevin7060 | oh ay, iheartubuntu #ubuntu-classroom has a class on python multimedia if you're interested | 19:18 |
| iheartubuntu | is kevin7060 aka seidos | 19:19 |
| iheartubuntu | no time :( | 19:19 |
| iheartubuntu | i want to pick up some chess strategies before i head into the weekend and play against some new friends. the guy thinks im an expert :) and i havent played chess for years :) | 19:20 |
| akk | I've played some, but forgotten most of what I knew. | 19:20 |
| iheartubuntu | im quickly trying to find some good opening moves and gain some knowledge on controlling the middle of the game | 19:21 |
| akk | was never expert level | 19:21 |
| iheartubuntu | i was never any good :) backgammon is my game | 19:21 |
| akk | Books -- "How to open a chess game" and "logical chess, move by move" are great. | 19:21 |
| === kevin7060 is now known as seidos | ||
| seidos | i just played against glchess on easy | 19:23 |
| iheartubuntu | id never heard of the "En Passant" move | 19:23 |
| iheartubuntu | castling, yeah... en passant no | 19:23 |
| seidos | what are you playing for? fun? bragging rights? $$$? | 19:24 |
| iheartubuntu | fun | 19:24 |
| akk | You're gonna want to know all the rules if you want to keep up your "expert" reputation. :) | 19:24 |
| iheartubuntu | but i hyped myself u pa bit :) | 19:24 |
| iheartubuntu | now this guy thinks he has a real challenge ahead of him | 19:24 |
| seidos | en passant, never used it, never had it used on me | 19:24 |
| iheartubuntu | every time he emails me he "awaits our glorious chess battle" | 19:24 |
| * erichammond has a UCSF rating (not spectacular). | 19:24 | |
| iheartubuntu | i guess im better at bluffing :) | 19:25 |
| iheartubuntu | what is UCSF rating? | 19:25 |
| seidos | oh, interesting | 19:25 |
| erichammond | US Chess Federation. | 19:25 |
| akk | US Chess Federation | 19:25 |
| iheartubuntu | ohh wow! | 19:25 |
| seidos | that would be USCF, not UCSF | 19:25 |
| akk | Expert means 2000-2200 IIRC. | 19:25 |
| erichammond | My son played chess competitively when he was 8-9. Did well at nationals: Played to a draw against the national champion. | 19:25 |
| erichammond | yah, uscf | 19:26 |
| * akk had a provisional 1385 rating once, long long ago | 19:26 | |
| seidos | though, i heard UCSF has a medicine track, and Berkeley does not | 19:26 |
| seidos | i have never been rated, and i'm pretty sure i can only stalemate gnuchess | 19:26 |
| iheartubuntu | so how do i gain some skills before the weekend? | 19:27 |
| seidos | play glchess on easy | 19:27 |
| akk | book and playing | 19:27 |
| iheartubuntu | im on GNU chess server right now | 19:27 |
| iheartubuntu | i dont think there is an easy option | 19:27 |
| erichammond | iheartubuntu: Play lots of short games on http://www.freechess.org | 19:27 |
| seidos | oh you're on the server? | 19:27 |
| seidos | speed chess | 19:27 |
| erichammond | and watch how other people beat you. | 19:27 |
| erichammond | read introductory books | 19:28 |
| akk | You aren't going to convince anyone you're an expert player by just playing on your own -- gotta study some openings. | 19:28 |
| seidos | that's what is so great about playing against the computer :) | 19:28 |
| erichammond | hire a tutor | 19:28 |
| akk | You'll at least need to know the Ruy Lopez and Sicilian. | 19:28 |
| seidos | analyze the computers move | 19:28 |
| seidos | you can even play against yourself | 19:28 |
| seidos | apostrophe fail | 19:29 |
| iheartubuntu | if heard of the sicilian and also the english opening | 19:29 |
| * seidos whips himself with a wet noodle | 19:29 | |
| seidos | let me try to find you on the server iheartubuntu | 19:29 |
| seidos | i don't have glchess installed presently | 19:29 |
| iheartubuntu | im on the ggzgamingzone built into glchess | 19:29 |
| seidos | yeah, i've played that a few times with a friend | 19:30 |
| seidos | his internet persona is presently dead however | 19:30 |
| iheartubuntu | i think u can type in any name | 19:30 |
| iheartubuntu | maybe im bluffing and waiting to trump seidos right now ;) | 19:31 |
| seidos | that wouldn't surprise me, really | 19:31 |
| iheartubuntu | HAHA | 19:31 |
| iheartubuntu | actually. im no good really | 19:31 |
| seidos | if you trump me, i'll start calling you "the donald" | 19:31 |
| iheartubuntu | i need to learn | 19:31 |
| seidos | me too, i've lost way too many times | 19:32 |
| iheartubuntu | dad taught me long ago, but one of my brothers who lived in greece picked up backgammon there and bought me a board and ive been hooked on backgammon since i was a kid | 19:32 |
| seidos | my cousin taught me i think | 19:32 |
| iheartubuntu | seidos and are in in a game in glchess | 19:37 |

| seidos | cool a video! | 20:10 |
| seidos | uncool, the stark lighting | 20:10 |
| seidos | well, it's still nice to hear the voice of fellow ubuntu knight while i play chess to stalemate | 20:15 |
| iheartubuntu | has it timed out? | 20:16 |
| iheartubuntu | i got a chess crash error | 20:16 |
| seidos | i think you'll have to undo a move again | 20:17 |
| iheartubuntu | ohh well | 20:17 |
| iheartubuntu | i would have lost | 20:17 |
| seidos | no, it would have been a stalemate i think | 20:18 |
| seidos | well, we can now metaphorically rebuild, i hope some of the pawns or rooks are female | 20:18 |
| seidos | otherwise we're going to be extinct | 20:18 |
| iheartubuntu | rebuild? | 20:18 |
| iheartubuntu | good game anyways | 20:18 |
| iheartubuntu | exciting! | 20:19 |
| seidos | i'm extrapolating a story behind the crowns | 20:19 |
| seidos | did you see that pawn's face come apart? | 20:19 |
| seidos | :| | 20:19 |
| seidos | who knew chess was so violent | 20:19 |
| iheartubuntu | it was going good there for a while, then got ugly | 20:20 |
| iheartubuntu | i dont know why castling didnt work for me | 20:20 |
| seidos | i think you moved your king? | 20:20 |
| seidos | or my bishop was blocking it? | 20:20 |
| iheartubuntu | ohhh | 20:21 |
| seidos | it looks like we are evenly matched | 20:21 |
| seidos | that was cool, i like playing with you better than the computer | 20:21 |
| seidos | the computer doesn't talk to me :( | 20:21 |
| * seidos laughs | 20:21 | |
| === seidos is now known as saytwo | ||
| iheartubuntu | who was that guy talking about gnibbles | 20:40 |
| iheartubuntu | distracting | 20:40 |
| saytwo | i dunno, just some dude i think | 20:40 |
| saytwo | i'm pretty sure that's never happeend to me before iheartubuntu | 20:41 |
| saytwo | oh, hey, i should have my bot join | 20:41 |

| buddyjr | Processing................... | 20:42 |
| kevin4896 | :P | 20:42 |
| kevin4896 | oh yeah, i pasted this http://swarm.conferencebywire.com/web/guest/my-conferences-page/?parameterAutoLoginLogin=scaleuserla@yahoo.com¶meterAutoLoginPassword=scaleuser&data=cU5IN3BBQWlhNTEweXNZWXJiczg5UmdiN2dBUWV5QnEwaWllTVdQTmVwdz0=&sesid=486 in #slackware-offtopic and they said there is personal data in it | 20:43 |
| iheartubuntu | am i seeing an email and password within the link? | 21:06 |
| kdub_ | slow news day on us-ca | 22:20 |
| kevin4896 | iheartubuntu: i guess, but it's not mine so i'm not worried about it | 22:26 |
| kevin4896 | i did feel like i did something wrong for a second though | 22:26 |
| kevin4896 | dang, getting old | 22:27 |
| kevin4896 | wrist is hurting | 22:28 |
| kevin4896 | better find something else to do besides typing | 22:28 |
| kevin4896 | i should find some good Hawaiian music to listen to | 22:30 |
| kevin4896 | which makes me wonder...what is "Californian music" these days? | 22:31 |
| kdub_ | kevin4896: i switched to dvorak, finds it helps with the wrist strain | 22:32 |
| iheartubuntu | i have hawaiian music | 22:39 |
| iheartubuntu | http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=1272790 | 22:39 |
| kevin4896 | kdub_: it's a notebook, so switching is a bit harder. oddly my left hand is fine | 23:10 |
| kevin4896 | i should probably observe the hand while it moves over the keys | 23:11 |
| kevin4896 | hmmm maybe i use the home, end, and del keys too much | 23:12 |
| kevin4896 | iheartubuntu: that isn't bad, but i was looking for another style | 23:29 |
| kevin4896 | i'm reluctant to say it but this stuff sound like it's been incepted with WASP like theme | 23:31 |
| kevin4896 | hmmm, looks like i hit backspace too much, surprise surprise | 23:36 |
| kevin4896 | anyway | 23:36 |
