[03:11] <crashsystems> Looks like Empathy still does not do IRC commands o_O
[03:11] <sn9> fail
[03:12] <crashsystems> I can't even /kick anyone. I may still switch to it from IRCcloud though.
[18:22] <pleia2> DarkwingDuck: are you going to be at UDS?
[19:09] <MarkDude> Good post pleia2
[19:09] <pleia2> thanks :)
[19:10]  * MarkDude is talking to Dangerous G to see if we can get some pics of an Oakland Lab
[19:10] <pleia2> MarkDude: are you on the http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sftechteach/ list?
[19:11] <pleia2> we don't post there, but it's interesting (and utterly depressing)
[19:11] <pleia2> the post about upcoming school tech budgets and other tech motivation tsuff
[19:11] <MarkDude> Cool, I dont know if I have a Yahoo acct
[19:12]  * MarkDude will get one if not
[19:12] <pleia2> seeing how poorly funded public k-12 california schools are is bad enough, watching technology be pushed aside is painful
[19:13]  * MarkDude just hopes that folks on the Linux side dont call out folks that use Windows to help people in need
[19:13] <pleia2> we're all friends here
[19:13] <MarkDude> Kids need help- I prefer it be with FOSS, more importantly they need tech help of any sort
[19:14] <pleia2> absolutely
[19:14] <MarkDude> It is our job to make sure we have all sorts of FOSS machines to do it with :)
[19:15] <pleia2> yeah, I turn the horror and depression at the state of schools into motivation to keep doing what we do :)
[19:17] <pleia2> work on partimus is probably the most important thing I currently do
[19:17] <MarkDude> Act locally- best way to affect change
[19:17]  * MarkDude agrees
[19:17] <MarkDude> Helping folks better their life is very rewarding
[19:18] <pleia2> giving kids opportunities is important
[19:18] <MarkDude> As we tell the Partimus story- more folks will want to help
[19:18]  * pleia2 nods
[19:18]  * MarkDude has a few more items for a GK auction
[19:19]  * MarkDude assumes that Partimus will want to participate - but , I want to have more of the bigger picture set before I hassle the board
[19:19] <pleia2> did you see maile has the ubuntu earrings in? I'm so excited!
[19:19] <MarkDude> Yes
[19:19]  * MarkDude was hoping for Puppy Linux as well as Fedora ones too
[19:19] <MarkDude> lol
[19:19] <pleia2> hehe
[19:20] <pleia2> one step at a time :) ubuntu is the biggest audience
[19:20] <MarkDude> I think there are like 12 women in Fedora- so the market would be limited
[19:20] <MarkDude> :D
[19:20]  * MarkDude agrees
[19:20] <pleia2> when I promote them I'll really be pushing the "not only do you get awesome earrings, you help partimus!" angle
[19:20] <MarkDude> Tux would be the next logical step
[19:21] <pleia2> I think she has some tux items
[19:21] <pleia2> not metal earrings though
[19:21] <pleia2> yeah http://www.boutiqueacademia.com/products/Tux.html
[19:21] <MarkDude> right on maile does some cool stuff
[19:21] <pleia2> I actually want to buy EVERYTHING
[19:22] <seidos> er, hola
[19:22] <seidos> or should i say, aloha
[19:22] <seidos> i didn't feel right eavesdropping without saying anything
[19:22] <pleia2> g'day seidos
[19:23] <seidos> g'day pleia2
[19:23] <seidos> i have a confession
[19:23] <seidos> i think you were in my dream last night
[19:24] <pleia2> I pop up in the strangest places
[19:24] <seidos> i put it in my dream journal, which i should upload soon
[19:25] <seidos> ...so it was you?
[19:25] <seidos> i thought it was just a figment of my imagination
[19:25] <pleia2> I don't know, I was sleeping
[19:25] <pleia2> I think I dreamt about sea lions
[19:25] <seidos> you know how in dreams, how people can be one person, but not really?
[19:25] <pleia2> yeah
[19:25] <seidos> how funny, my friend Juli went to sea world recently
[19:26] <seidos> the sea lions were her favorite apparently
