| ball | GO CANUCKS! | 02:27 |
| genii-around | Vancouver-Tampa would be an interesting Cup series | 02:28 |
| genii-around | Gah, Preds first blood | 02:29 |
| genii-around | Yay, Canucks tied it up | 03:07 |
| ball | :-) | 03:13 |
| genii-around | Bleh. Tied 2-2 with 5:02 left | 04:30 |
| genii-around | Last minute of regulation | 04:35 |
| genii-around | OT | 04:36 |
| genii-around | Hm. Coffee or beer, coffee or beer. My eternal dilemma. | 04:38 |
| IdleOne | beer flavoured coffee | 04:42 |
| IdleOne | or | 04:43 |
| IdleOne | whisky flavoured coffee | 04:43 |
| genii-around | Hm. I have rum. So coffee it will be, and a small splash! | 04:44 |
| IdleOne | small splash of coffee? | 04:53 |
| IdleOne | :P | 04:53 |
| genii-around | Well, pretty much 50/50 actually | 04:54 |
| IdleOne | hehe | 04:54 |
| genii-around | Bleh this game looks like it's going to be another gruelling long OT nightmare | 05:01 |
| * genii-around tries to stay awake | 05:10 | |
| genii-around | YAY CANUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 05:11 |
| genii-around | Finally ... ;) | 05:11 |
| s-fox | o/ | 11:06 |
| s-fox | Hello. | 11:06 |
| staticsafe | morning s-fox | 11:38 |
| s-fox | Hello staticsafe . How are you? | 11:38 |
| staticsafe | s-fox: heh, a little groggy, just woke up | 11:38 |
| s-fox | Ah, best get some coffee ;) | 11:39 |
| dscassel | Morning, folks. | 14:43 |
| dscassel | Open chat with sabdfl (that's Mark Shuttleworth) in #ubuntu-classroom in about 15 minutes, if you're interested. | 14:43 |
| BluesKaj | hi folks | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, it couold be if it wasn't for all his filter flunkies dodging most of the real questions ... mainly full of vague generalities anyway | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, so unfortunately my experience with the classroom hasn't been very positive | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | but I'l try again | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, my question is being filtered ...cannot send to channel ..heh | 15:13 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: You're asking the Q in #ubuntu-classroom-chat ? | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | in #ubuntu-classromm | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | #ubuntu-classroom even | 15:15 |
| dscassel | Yeah, you need to ask questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat. | 15:16 |
| genii-around | Hm "rolling releases are a very interesting concept" | 15:16 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: You ask questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat, prefaced with QUESTION: or Question: and then the bot grabs them, sorts them, etc, then the person responds to the Q in #ubuntu-classroom | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | that's dumb | 15:18 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: Prevents the channel in which replies are being made from being spammed | 15:18 |
| dscassel | It would be insanity to just have everybody in the one channel. | 15:18 |
| dscassel | Downside of doing these things in IRC. | 15:19 |
| genii-around | Yup | 15:19 |
| dscassel | There's a tool called Lernid that's supposed to make the process easier. | 15:19 |
| dscassel | But I don't think it's being developed anymore. | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, well they filter a lot of questions anyway ...fewer questions are answered than asked by a large mrgin | 15:20 |
| bregma | when you're running a session, you get really busy | 15:32 |
| bregma | and really stressed | 15:32 |
| bregma | but when I ran a session a couple weeks ago, I got all the questions answered | 15:33 |
| dscassel | Mark's a bit of a special case. There's no way he could answer everything. | 15:33 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: There's also things like Ubuntu Developer Week, where you can ask questions of lesser Ubuntu people. | 15:34 |
| dscassel | Not quite as exciting, but you probably stand a better chance of getting an aswer. | 15:34 |
| dscassel | I can always use help getting the word out about these things. :) | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | well dscassel I asked a specific kde wifi driver/knwtwork manager question and of course it was passed over :) | 15:36 |
| genii-around | Thats more like a tech support Q though | 15:37 |
| dscassel | Yeah, Mark's a big picture kind of guy. :) | 15:40 |
| dscassel | Something about the status of the kubuntu project or Canonical embracing Qt would probably work better. | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, vague general stuff...really, who cares ..it doesn't do anything | 16:01 |
| dscassel | If you want it to *do* something, participate in UDS. :) | 16:01 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, sure ..asking for a kde classroom ...is that too much to ask ? :) | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu generalities doesn't do much for KDE | 16:03 |
| dscassel | This is a participatory, volunteer culture. If you want to see something done, the best way is to do it yourself. :) | 16:03 |
| * dscassel wouldn't be here otherwise... | 16:03 | |
| BluesKaj | bah dscassel , that's a bit disingenuous , do it yourself ..c'mon now that's not a fair answer | 16:04 |
| dscassel | It isn't? :) | 16:05 |
| genii-around | dscassel: BTW, stuck an Ubuntu Canada pin on my netbook case, had already 3-4 questions about it in only a couple days | 16:05 |
| dscassel | That's kinda what the open source community's all about. Scratch your own itch. | 16:05 |
| dscassel | genii-around: Awesome. :D | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, if you have the means to scratch, yes, to follow your analogy | 16:06 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: That's why Linux has always struggled to cater to non-technical users. | 16:08 |
| dscassel | Ubuntu's come some way in rectifying that... | 16:08 |
| dscassel | mostly by creating this community infrastructure. | 16:08 |
| dscassel | But even that takes work. It doesn't come for free. | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | all I asked for was a KDE classroom ... but gnome rules | 16:09 |
| dscassel | Fortunately, most people can contibute on the community side... | 16:09 |
| dscassel | You mean an IRC channel? | 16:09 |
| dscassel | Or sessions in developer week? | 16:10 |
| dscassel | Anybody can do classroom sessions. Although there's a limited amount of space in the designated weeks. | 16:10 |
| dscassel | But there's no reason someone couldn't start a Kbuntu week. | 16:10 |
| dscassel | And round up a bunch of smart and knowledgeable Kubuntu people to do sessions. | 16:11 |
| * genii-around thinks about jabbity-jabbing J Riddell | 16:11 | |
| dscassel | Like txwikinger :) | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, no a classroom for kde users similar to the ubuntu-classroom , that's all and we don't need mark sd , just some knowledgeable ppl to help us help | 16:11 |
| dscassel | You can start a new channel. That's not a big deal. But ubuntu-classroom sits idle most of the time. | 16:11 |
| dscassel | And there's already infrastructure to support it. So why not use that? | 16:12 |
| genii-around | Right now actually, the instructor for next topic in -classroom did not show. Anyone could volunteer to fill the spot with something Kubuntu related, but no one is stepping up | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | NM, this is a waste of time .. | 16:12 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: txwikinger is on the community council for kubuntu-de. There are people around who can help make these things happen. But it may take more to see it happen than just float the idea, is all I'm saying. | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, yes understood , it would be beneficial to ppl like me who need technical expertise in kde rather than learning from the few volunteers who actually give of their time and knowledge in #kubuntu | 16:25 |
| BluesKaj | stuff to do ...BBL | 17:45 |
