| jamalta | i'm planning an event to meet up with the florida loco people that are going to be in next week for google i/o, is it ok if i add it to the loco directory? | 01:10 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | sure :) | 01:10 |
| jamalta | pleia2: thanks! | 01:11 |
| jamalta | if anyone else wants to come meet up with some of the folks from SF feel free to sign up too :) | 01:15 |
| jamalta | err, from FL | 01:15 |
| jamalta | sn9: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/957/detail/ | 02:15 |
| grantbow | nice | 02:16 |
| jamalta | grantbow: apparently there's something going on monday night so i'm moving the event to wednesday | 05:20 |
| jamalta | just thought i'd let you know :) | 05:20 |
| sn9 | can't it be a weekend? | 05:21 |
| jamalta | sn9: i don't think everyone's going to be in during the weekend | 05:28 |
| sn9 | oh ok | 05:28 |
| grantbow | jamalta: I'll try wednesday but the odds of my making it dropped. I always volunteer wed for partimus.org and sf-lug.org / noisebridge.net | 09:12 |
| seidos | morning | 15:48 |
| sn9 | webchat? | 15:48 |
| seidos | indeed, no wireless here | 15:50 |
| seidos | i'm at my mother's, my car overheated last thursday after the trip to the boys and girl's club, so i've been working on that | 15:51 |
| seidos | replaced the thermostat, next is a heater hose. my cousin is helping me out, he used to be a mechanic | 15:52 |
| seidos | how have you been sn9 ? | 15:52 |
| sn9 | shit happens | 15:54 |
| sn9 | (that's the answer) | 15:54 |
| seidos | "feces occurs" as the aristocracy likes to put it | 15:54 |
| sn9 | rofl | 15:54 |
| seidos | i haven't heard "murphy's law" in awhile | 15:55 |
| seidos | people don't use that phrase anymore | 15:55 |
| seidos | probably got tired of hearing it | 15:55 |
| seidos | well, i better shower then call autozone, talk to you later | 15:56 |
| iheartubuntu | Does anyone know of an easy way to open or convert WKS spreadsheet files in Ubuntu? Surprised OpenOffice or LibreOffice cant handle them. | 17:11 |
| * iheartubuntu doesnt seem to be a big need based on a google search | 17:15 | |
| jamalta | grantbow: aw, i understand... | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | usually tokyo express is 3 blocks from where I live, but I'll be in budapest | 17:21 |
| pleia2 | but if you guys want to join grantbow, noisebridge is just a quick BART ride away, very cool and famous hackerspace in SF and they have their linux night from 6-8 :) | 17:27 |
| jamalta | pleia2: haha, so you'll be just a bit further than 3 blocks? :P | 17:29 |
| jamalta | yeah, google i/o clashes with uds.. it's kind of unfortunate :\ | 17:30 |
| jamalta | that might be fun, though.. i haven't made it to noisebridge yet. | 17:30 |
| crashsystems | I saw noisebridge for the first time this weekend. | 17:39 |
| pleia2 | I am probably going down tonight | 17:41 |
| crashsystems | I just wish it was easier to get to SF from Sunnyvale without a car. | 17:43 |
| jamalta | crashsystems: agreed (well, backwards for me) | 17:43 |
| crashsystems | I might check out the price of car rentals. Its ether that or stay overnight at a hotel whenever I want to go to SF and be able to stay for a decent amount of time. | 17:44 |
| akk | From Sunnyvale it's usually easier to get to SF by Caltrain than by car. | 17:46 |
| akk | Depending on where in SF you're going, of course. | 17:47 |
| akk | And where in Svale you're starting. | 17:47 |
| crashsystems | I'm just at the city limits. I've ether got to take a bus to downtown sunnyvale or a lightrail to mountain view | 17:47 |
| crashsystems | ether way its a 30 minute walk prior to lightrail or bus | 17:47 |
| crashsystems | and if I want to get back to sunnyvale in time to catch public transport to get home, I've got to leave somewhat early | 17:48 |
| akk | Yeah, if you're a long way from caltrain it's not so easy. Same for me at home, I have a 15-20-min bike ride if I want to get to Caltrain. | 17:49 |
| crashsystems | I want to go to SF some time to play with my shiny new camera. I'll probably just end up staying at a hotel overnight. | 17:52 |
| iheartubuntu | pleia2 - curious if you are still using the CR48 laptop and if you still like it or have issues with it. theres been little talk lately of them | 17:57 |
| pleia2 | iheartubuntu: yep, still using it, thinking of bringing it to UDS so I have a working laptop at all times (mini9 battery is only 5 hours, I've got ~13 hours of flights plus layovers) | 17:58 |
| pleia2 | not much to say about it anymore :) it has a web browser and ssh, all I need, works nice | 17:58 |
| iheartubuntu | does google contact you about it or ask you to fill out surveys from time to time? i wonder whats next and when we'll see the OS on laptops for sale | 17:59 |
| iheartubuntu | i was thinking about it when reading an article about meego - which i must say looks better than ever these days | 18:00 |
| pleia2 | no, they've never contacted me | 18:00 |
| iheartubuntu | 6 planets have aligned in the night sky. i noticed this last weekend when a friend was showing me google sky app on android phone. i think it was 5 planets i saw. dont think ive seen that before | 18:03 |
| jamalta | pleia2: so you just rune chromeos on it? | 18:08 |
| jamalta | i'm thinking of going back to it, now that i have a dedicated linux machine again. | 18:08 |
| jamalta | but i had put ubuntu on it, which runs decently enough... | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I stuck with chromeos | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | I have enough ubuntu machines :) | 18:09 |
| akk | The planets are always in line ... the line is called the ecliptic. :) | 18:09 |
| akk | Most of them are in the morning now, though, not evening. | 18:10 |
| iheartubuntu | yah im not seeing it in the night sky on stellarium | 18:11 |
| iheartubuntu | must have come around a week ago where i saw it at night | 18:12 |
| akk | A couple months, maybe. | 18:12 |
| markdude | iheartubuntu: Dala Lama is having a Q&A right now in Socal http://www.livestream.com/livingpeace | 22:24 |
| markdude | And still has one hellof a sense of humor | 22:26 |
| akk | He's always been great that way. | 22:27 |
| iheartubuntu | thanks markdude | 22:50 |
| iheartubuntu | its great its live and anyone can access it | 22:51 |
| markdude | I like how he put on the UCI cap | 22:52 |
| markdude | and still wearing it | 22:52 |
