webchatTESTGreat implementation of webchat. having the window in the center of the page might make it easier for people to use.01:12
pleia2ok, lemme see what I can do01:13
MarkDudeGood deal, the top buttons get lost for most folks when they use it01:13
MarkDudeits pretty goo01:13
MarkDudegood01:14
pleia2ok, there01:14
pleia2top buttons get lost?01:14
* MarkDude had it set up using the full browser before- and it was hard to explain to people PM01:14
MarkDudewhen using a regular browser for webchat01:14
pleia2oh, yeah01:15
MarkDudethe way you have it is great01:15
pleia2and I linked to the full screen one, so they can use that if they want to o:)01:15
MarkDudeWell you get bonus points for that01:16
MarkDude:D01:16
MarkDudeI like how it has links to explain IRC on it- so a person might use it for a bit, and realize there is a better way01:17
MarkDudebut for starting out good way. Then they will want to join more channels, use an IRC client, then next thing ya know- they are in 20 channels01:18
MarkDudethats what happened to me at least01:18
* pleia2 nods01:18
pleia2me too, back in 1998 I was using a *java* web client01:18
pleia2fortunately I saw the light pretty quickly :)01:18
MarkDudelol01:18
* MarkDude is stoked on all the testimonials Partimus has received - I want to make a little movie about exactly *how* their donations are used. 01:19
MarkDudeI am hoping to have some actual $ donated at some point01:20
pleia2the testimonials are great01:20
pleia2currently the money is just being used to cover boring administrative costs ;)01:20
pleia2it'll be better once we start getting real money01:20
MarkDudeYep01:21
pleia2MarkDude: oh, I made sure your CM status is in the board minutes for saturday's meeting01:21
pleia2I think christian still needs to formalize the minutes and send them out, bit it's in there!01:21
MarkDudeVery cool, sometimes knowledge can be a limiter, formalities are good to pay attention to01:22
pleia2ok, time to take a much needed napp01:22
MarkDudeI need to go back and lurn some more stuff from Foundation Center01:22
* pleia2 haz cold, wants to not haz cold01:22

abiss27hey guys03:32
sn9hi03:34
abiss27I was looking at learning some programming and saw this on Ubuntu03:42
abiss27how to get started doing this?03:43
aadityaHi abiss27. What are you trying to do?03:43
abiss27Just learn programming language, and help out03:44
abiss27i was looking at Python03:45
akkPython's a great language to start with (and then keep using long after you started :)03:56
aadityaSorry, had to reboot.03:57
nhainespleia2: congratulations! :D05:41
pleia2nhaines: thanks :) I'm pretty excited05:45
nhainespleia2: you'll do great!05:55
pleia2nhaines: having the ubucon video has been really helpful, I'm nitpicking for all the things I need to improve05:56
pleia2(still hate watching it, but it's for the best :))05:56
nhainespleia2: haha, yeah, I hate watching my Upscale vid.06:00
iheartubuntuquake anyone here in so cal?09:32
iheartubuntu3.109:33
iheartubuntuepicenter was south of me about 5 mi. that was a weird one. felt like a sonic boom and that was it. a quick creeking sound too. maybe its a precursor to something bigger09:35
jamaltaMorning17:49
sn9good one, i hope17:55
jamaltasn9: so far it is :), how about you?18:00
sn9i have been waiting for a couple of weeks for dslextreme to send an at&t tech to fix the line18:01
jamaltasn9: ouch.. what's wrong with it?18:01
sn9yet ANOTHER appt window today, 8am - 8pm18:01
jamaltaO.O18:01
jamaltaThat is insane!18:01
sn9dslextreme has completely gone to shit in the past couple of years; stay the hell away from them18:02
sn9i'd switch to sonic fusion in a heartbeat if it were available in sacramento18:03
jamaltasn9: i've been thinking about switching to sonic, but i'm not completely confident that the phone lines in my apartment actually work.18:04
sn9you're in nob hill, right?18:05
jamaltabut haven't really bothered to test.. comcast has been ok18:05
jamaltasn9: yeah.. they service my area since about 3 months ago18:05
sn9comcast is ugh18:05
jamaltayeah :\18:05
jamaltabut sounds like it's better than dslextreme :P18:05
sn9that's a sad thought18:06
sn9but fusion might not be economical if you have no use for a landline18:06
sn9then again, it still might18:06
sn9it's $40/mo18:06
sn9with tax, comes out to about $5218:07
sn9do you have the comcast triple play, or just double play?18:07
sn9since you mentioned being unsure about the lines, i'm assuming double18:10
iheartubuntui found cable internet companies are easier to bargain with18:11
iheartubuntuim at 10 mb/s for $25/mo18:11
sn9iheartubuntu: comcast, unless you opt for business class service, doesn't offer anything worth bargaining for18:11
jamaltasn9: i have tv and internet.. but i would get rid of both if i switched.18:12
jamaltarather, when.18:12
sn9sonic fusion offers up to 25 Mb/s and a POTS line with unlimited free domestic long distance for that $4018:13
iheartubuntuactually thats sounds awesome18:13
sn9well, speed is inversely proportional to CO distance18:14
iheartubuntui couldnt afford $50 for the 25mbs so i did the $35 plan and talked them down18:14
sn9for actual 25 Mb/s it would need to be around 1000 feet18:14
iheartubuntuATT and verizon down here (dsl) said their prices were set and couldnt change anything18:14
sn9comcast says that here18:15
sn9well, by here i mean where jamalta is18:15
sn9i haven't tried where i am18:15
iheartubuntur u with comcast now? tell them you'll jump ship to the new fios if fios is available. time warner got all nervous and kept sending me to different reps18:16
sn9there is no fios anywhere up here18:16
iheartubuntui was to the point where i didnt want internet at all from anyone and said "look just cancel my stupid service right now!" and then the said ok how does $25 a month sound?18:16
iheartubuntunow i know what it means to be willing to walk away :)18:17
sn9btw, if you have an at&t landline and port the number to sonic fusion, their retentions dept will fight tooth and nail to get you back18:17
jamaltaiheartubuntu: haha nice18:17
jamaltaunfortunately, there's no fios in nob hill :\18:17
jamaltanot last i checked at least18:17
jamaltasn9: damn, that'd be annoying18:18
sn9there is no fios in SF, period18:18
jamaltasn9: ah... i see.18:18
sn9nor in Sac18:18
iheartubuntui noticed some serious deals on jetblue this morning for calif supported airports18:18
sn9that reminds me, i need to call about renting a car in chicago in august18:19
iheartubuntuive only had bon vonage ever since they started up. prices have never changed on me which is good, but they are terrible to deal with if you make a call that doesnt go thru18:19
sn9vonage is voip18:19
sn9there is no voip with fusion18:20
iheartubuntujetblue: LA to Seattle for $150 rt18:20
sn9grr, lunch time there18:21
jamaltasn9: lunch time? o.O18:21
sn9in central time, yeah18:22
jamaltaoh! Chicago, sorry missed that :)18:22
sn9i wanna reserve that before booking the flight18:23
* iheartubuntu wished jetblue flew to europe18:25
* jamalta wishes jetblue would fly SFO -> MCO non-stop :\18:26
jamaltaMCO is Orlando18:26
sn9i don't think anyone does nonstop18:26
jamaltasn9: Some do18:26
jamaltaUnited goes non-stop18:26
sn9oh ok18:26
jamaltaBut that flight isn't very common18:27
jamaltaOn my way back, I have to stop at LAX18:27
