[01:10] 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] sure :) [01:11] pleia2: thanks! [01:15] if anyone else wants to come meet up with some of the folks from SF feel free to sign up too :) [01:15] err, from FL [02:15] sn9: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/957/detail/ [02:16] nice [05:20] grantbow: apparently there's something going on monday night so i'm moving the event to wednesday [05:20] just thought i'd let you know :) [05:21] can't it be a weekend? [05:28] sn9: i don't think everyone's going to be in during the weekend [05:28] oh ok [09:12] 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] morning [15:48] webchat? [15:50] indeed, no wireless here [15:51] 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] replaced the thermostat, next is a heater hose. my cousin is helping me out, he used to be a mechanic [15:52] how have you been sn9 ? [15:54] shit happens [15:54] (that's the answer) [15:54] "feces occurs" as the aristocracy likes to put it [15:54] rofl [15:55] i haven't heard "murphy's law" in awhile [15:55] people don't use that phrase anymore [15:55] probably got tired of hearing it [15:56] well, i better shower then call autozone, talk to you later [17:11] 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] grantbow: aw, i understand... [17:21] usually tokyo express is 3 blocks from where I live, but I'll be in budapest [17:27] 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] pleia2: haha, so you'll be just a bit further than 3 blocks? :P [17:30] yeah, google i/o clashes with uds.. it's kind of unfortunate :\ [17:30] that might be fun, though.. i haven't made it to noisebridge yet. [17:39] I saw noisebridge for the first time this weekend. [17:41] I am probably going down tonight [17:43] I just wish it was easier to get to SF from Sunnyvale without a car. [17:43] crashsystems: agreed (well, backwards for me) [17:44] 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] From Sunnyvale it's usually easier to get to SF by Caltrain than by car. [17:47] Depending on where in SF you're going, of course. [17:47] And where in Svale you're starting. [17:47] 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] ether way its a 30 minute walk prior to lightrail or bus [17:48] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] not much to say about it anymore :) it has a web browser and ssh, all I need, works nice [17:59] 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] i was thinking about it when reading an article about meego - which i must say looks better than ever these days [18:00] no, they've never contacted me [18:03] 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] pleia2: so you just rune chromeos on it? [18:08] i'm thinking of going back to it, now that i have a dedicated linux machine again. [18:08] but i had put ubuntu on it, which runs decently enough... [18:09] yeah, I stuck with chromeos [18:09] I have enough ubuntu machines :) [18:09] The planets are always in line ... the line is called the ecliptic. :) [18:10] Most of them are in the morning now, though, not evening. [18:11] yah im not seeing it in the night sky on stellarium [18:12] must have come around a week ago where i saw it at night [18:12] A couple months, maybe. [22:24] iheartubuntu: Dala Lama is having a Q&A right now in Socal http://www.livestream.com/livingpeace [22:26] And still has one hellof a sense of humor [22:27] He's always been great that way. [22:50] thanks markdude [22:51] its great its live and anyone can access it [22:52] I like how he put on the UCI cap [22:52] and still wearing it
