[01:10] <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 :)
[01:11] <jamalta> pleia2: thanks!
[01:15] <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
[02:15] <jamalta> sn9: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/957/detail/
[02:16] <grantbow> nice
[05:20] <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 :)
[05:21] <sn9> can't it be a weekend?
[05:28] <jamalta> sn9: i don't think everyone's going to be in during the weekend
[05:28] <sn9> oh ok
[09:12] <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
[15:48] <seidos> morning
[15:48] <sn9> webchat?
[15:50] <seidos> indeed, no wireless here
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <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 ?
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <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
[15:56] <seidos> well, i better shower then call autozone, talk to you later
[17:11] <iheartubuntu> Does anyone know of an easy way to open or convert WKS spreadsheet files in Ubuntu? Surprised OpenOffice or LibreOffice cant handle them.
[17:15]  * iheartubuntu doesnt seem to be a big need based on a google search
[17:18] <jamalta> grantbow: aw, i understand...
[17:21] <pleia2> usually tokyo express is 3 blocks from where I live, but I'll be in budapest
[17:27] <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 :)
[17:29] <jamalta> pleia2: haha, so you'll be just a bit further than 3 blocks? :P
[17:30] <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.
[17:39] <crashsystems> I saw noisebridge for the first time this weekend.
[17:41] <pleia2> I am probably going down tonight
[17:43] <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)
[17:44] <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.
[17:46] <akk> From Sunnyvale it's usually easier to get to SF by Caltrain than by car.
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <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.
[17:52] <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.
[17:57] <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
[17:58] <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
[17:59] <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
[18:00] <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
[18:03] <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
[18:08] <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...
[18:09] <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. :)
[18:10] <akk> Most of them are in the morning now, though, not evening.
[18:11] <iheartubuntu> yah im not seeing it in the night sky on stellarium
[18:12] <iheartubuntu> must have come around a week ago where i saw it at night
[18:12] <akk> A couple months, maybe.
[22:24] <markdude> iheartubuntu: Dala Lama is having a Q&A right now in Socal http://www.livestream.com/livingpeace
[22:26] <markdude> And still has one hellof a sense of humor
[22:27] <akk> He's always been great that way.
[22:50] <iheartubuntu> thanks markdude
[22:51] <iheartubuntu> its great its live and anyone can access it
[22:52] <markdude> I like how he put on the UCI cap
[22:52] <markdude> and still wearing it
