[08:05] morning all [08:52] Morning everyone [08:52] evilduanedesign: why are you evil today :) [09:00] kim0: I am on my windows machine [09:00] ah hahaa :) [09:01] :) [10:01] morning === daker_ is now known as daker [11:20] hey kim0 [11:35] hey nigelb [11:46] nigelb: hey there [11:57] popey: ping [11:58] duanedesign: pong [11:59] popey: did you have any issues recording sound in Natty? [11:59] i have lots of issues in natty [11:59] mostly around recording video tbh [11:59] I am trying to do some screencasts and not having much luck :/ [11:59] yeah, crap isnt it? [12:00] * duanedesign nods === cypher is now known as czajkowski [15:00] jcastro - open week email (though I for to add Sessions Needed to the subject line) just went out to various lists and individual people...:-) [15:00] we only need 14 people or teams of people...that's not too many more... [15:00] oh, need help with people. [15:00] yep let me send you the email [15:00] akgraner: I had an idea earlier. I want to run it by you. [15:01] So, we had lightning talks the last 2 times, one hosted by me and one hosted by mhall119 (thanks again) [15:01] nigelb, email should in your inbox... [15:01] I saw the one you sent to UW :-) [15:01] :-) [15:02] Wait, UoW focus is on end user? [15:02] I thought it was contributors... [15:02] both [15:02] *faceplam* that's the Week I'm in Delhi :( [15:02] but you are usually an end user then a contributor [15:02] ;-) [15:03] Good point. [15:04] so this is the start of that process...Use Ubuntu --> Learn about all the areas or one area of interest --> Contribute [15:04] (or at least that's how I think about it) [15:04] but if you don't know what all there is available out there how can you decided what interests you? [15:04] good point [15:06] So let's introduce people to all these awesome areas and help end users become better more effective, efficient users who will then (maybe) want to be a part if the awesome teams as members and contributers... [15:06] that's my thinking anyway :-D [15:07] SO who's with me - take a look and add your session! yes? :-D (ok please) [15:07] I'll poke the UW folks I can this week and see if anyone's interested [15:07] I wouldn't mind giving one - but I have no idea what to talk about... [15:08] so if someone suggestions something they would like me to talk about ...I'll give a session as well... [15:08] akgraner: 'NTEU to Geek' [15:08] JFo, mhall119, cjohnston ^^ [15:08] Please +1 that suggestion :D [15:09] nigelb, I'm not sure people want to that - I'm not sure I'm geek enough yet...:-/ [15:09] hah [15:09] I'll ask your kids what they think of that :p [15:09] akgraner: you're still trying to deny your geekiness? [15:09] nigelb, I'll tell you what - if you can get me 10 questions to answer as it relates to that - I'll do it... [15:10] akgraner: You could do something about commandline and how to use it [15:10] (that other people or yourself want to know about that would help others) [15:10] the title certainly fits that kind of a talk :D [15:10] nigelb, while I use the commandline I prefer a gui over it almost everytime [15:11] akgraner: you and becca should make a "Friday" parody song and video [15:11] maybe s/Friday/Natty/ [15:11] and make JFo do the random rapping part [15:12] hehe [15:12] Pete tried to take my mouse away and force commandline usage - I said "step away from my mouse and no one gets hurt!" [15:12] "It's Natty, Natty, gotta download Natty. Everybody's looking forward to the up grade" [15:13] mhall119, let me get the Get this party started parody for release week finished first... [15:13] akgraner: *cough*, he should have disbled the mouse from the kernel. [15:13] we have the sound music track now we are going to overlay the vocals using audacity sometime this weekend [15:13] I'll suggest that to jfo. [15:13] nigelb: lol [15:14] akgraner: getting the hang of audacity? [15:14] yep - Carla's Book is awesome! [15:14] Once I get finished I'll write a review and how it helped us do this [15:15] akgraner: that's it! [15:15] akgraner: How to use audacity! [15:18] Ummm let me see if I can get Carla to do that one... [15:18] :-) [15:18] after she wrote the book... [15:18] ah, yes! [15:22] nigelb, :-) [15:22] * JFo plans an SRU [15:22] heh [15:23] if $user contains(akgraner) [15:23] JFo: exactly what I was thinking [15:24] ummm that's not funny especially when I figure out how to change it back... [15:24] you think we can't bury it in C code? [15:24] you misjudge our determination ;-) [15:25] you misjudge our determination ;-)p [15:25] resistance is futile [15:25] we are the borg [15:25] yeah, I typed that for the second one... but I apparently hit the arrow key :-/ [15:25] today is a bad typey day [15:25] heh [15:26] :) [15:27] JFo: unfortunately, bzr will give it away pretty quickly [15:27] bzr? [15:27] the kernel source is in git [15:27] mhall119: kernel is not in bzr is it? [15:27] okay, then git will give it away [15:27] and we would hide it in a rebase [15:27] oh, now that's just evil [15:27] or we could commit one char at a time [15:27] dig through several thousand commits if you wnat :) [15:28] like if($foo=a) [15:28] then ak [15:28] then akg [15:28] also in a rebase [15:28] nigelb, it owuld be even better if we simply compared a hash [15:28] then you never see the chars [15:28] course, she could just change her username [15:29] just a comparison of the user with the hash [15:29] mhall119, we have ways of knowing about those types of things :-) [15:29] maybe she doesn't even use 'akgraner' for her local username [15:29] we can always check with pete :P [15:30] heh, spoken like a bachelor [15:30] there are many other things we could do... [15:30] * JFo cackles evilly [15:30] ask Becca or Matt. [15:30] JFo: on an unrelated note, we could just write a script to do it and put in bash.rc [15:30] .bashrcf [15:30] .bashrc [15:31] true [15:31] UGH, today is typo day [15:31] "bad spelling friday" [15:32] you guys are evil...:-p [15:33] wait, what are we doing? [15:33] ok I emailed Carla...let's hope she says yes! [15:33] paultag: trying to turn off akgraner's mouse so that she learns command line [15:33] paultag: care to sugest ideas [15:33] Oh, easy [15:33] JFo: ^^ [15:33] * nigelb takes notes [15:33] remove /dev/input/mouse0 [15:34] or mice [15:34] whatever it uses [15:34] aha [15:34] then cat random numbers in it's place [15:34] oh that's even better [15:34] just have an app cat random numbers at mouse0 [15:34] so that it just jumps around randomly [15:35] JFo: we haz the perfect tool. [15:37] hmmm [15:37] yeah - hmmmm..... [15:37] :) [15:38] * nigelb goes home. In the rain. [15:38] Again - Step away from my mouse and no one will get hurt! [15:38] nigelb, :-( [15:38] We will not do anything to your mouse ma'am. [15:38] I'm not getting near your mouse... this will happen by way of updates :-) [15:38] * JFo thinks kees would love this [15:38] JFo: let's grab the Ip address and do this during UDS [15:39] lol [15:39] if akgraner's computer is unattended, attack! [15:40] ok, time to drive back home. I hope I don't get sick. [15:40] why don't we just see what PPAs she uses [15:40] then upload bash to it [15:40] with this nice payload in it [15:41] it's a feature [15:41] it prevents starting the screensaver [15:49] doctormo, what time and date work best for you? [15:50] akgraner: Wednesday, EST evening would be good. [15:51] ok I'll but you in for the 1700 utc slot then...(lastest slot on that day) [15:51] ok on any day really but you know what I mean [15:51] paultag: See my blog last night? [15:52] akgraner: So 22:00 EST, thanks. [15:52] doctormo: nosir. I've been off-tech [15:52] doctormo: linky linky plox [15:52] http://doctormo.org/2011/04/21/hot-swapping-languages-batman/ [15:53] doctormo: nice! :) [15:53] doctormo: cool approach [15:54] I dig [15:54] doctormo, ummm no it would 1pm - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?month=4&day=22&year=2011&hour=17&min=0&sec=0&p1=0&p2=43 [15:56] akgraner: Ah I got the time diff the wrong way round in my head. Perhaps something in the morning then? [15:56] akgraner: I hope to have a job by then you see, well a new non-city job that pays ;-) [15:57] doctormo, 11am on wednesday is available or 10am on Friday [15:58] (those times are in your local time btw not utc it would be 1500 and 1400 utc on those days) [15:59] doctormo, good luck and congrats...:-) [15:59] akgraner: Hmm, it's a bit out of time. Put me down for 11am on wednesday and I'll org a way if I get the job. [16:00] k will do thanks! [16:01] and done - :-) Thanks again doctormo [16:01] akgraner: Good luck! [16:08] jcastro: when can people sign up for the Lightning Talks at UDS? [16:13] duanedesign, I know you want to give a screen casting session for Ubuntu Open Week don't ya? [16:16] akgraner: yes, I did say I would do that [16:17] take a look at the schedule and just add it in there - thanks! [16:18] akgraner: I will add a todo item for that [16:21] Thanks! [16:49] ok so Rikki Kite with Linux New Media said she would give a session on writing good press releases [16:49] and take general Q and A from the community on best practices for promoting projects, events etc to the press [16:50] what do you all think? [16:56] How cool is it we'll get an hour with a professional publisher to teach us better ways to promote our events and projects [16:57] woot woot! :-) Also best practice for writing press releases and more...I'm excited.. now if we can just get the schedules to line up... [17:11] woot woot - shoot, score win ! Carla will give the Audacity class! [17:11] jcastro, ^^^^^ [17:13] akgraner: epic! D: [17:13] :D [17:14] I thought so... [17:14] I am so freakin happy - rikki and carla woot woot woot...:-) [17:15] akgraner: \o/ [17:19] nigelb, we're getting there... [17:52] akgraner: haha, 'no snake poo here' [17:54] nigelb, I know ...:-( [17:56] heh [18:38] lol [18:38] I guess pete's not a fan of dynamic typing [18:40] mhall119, you'll have to ask him [18:42] or maybe he just don't like interpreted languages [18:43] or, gasp, maybe he *likes* pointers [18:43] * mhall119 shudders at the thought [18:46] everything in an interpreted language is a pointer, you just can't manipulate it is all [18:46] under the hood maybe [18:47] but as a developer all you see are references [18:47] same with Java, actualy [18:48] mhall119, I don't know...:-/ === daker is now known as daker_ [20:18] JFo: ping [20:22] jcastro, pong [20:22] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_mobile_uffda&num=1 [20:22] can you put that on the proper kernel team radar? [20:23] sure [20:23] * jcastro isn't sure who is power hmfic these days [20:23] it is probably already there [20:23] but I will make sure [20:25] * jcastro nods [20:53] my external USB keeps unmounting itself in the middle of my rsync backup...this probably isn't a good sign [20:54] I suppose I should start pricing out new backup solutions
