[03:26] <Lancelot> hi everyone
[05:55] <valorie> hi again, Lancelot
[06:01] <Lancelot> valorie: howdy
[06:01] <Lancelot> what's up?
[06:01] <valorie> not a whole lot
[06:02] <valorie> recovering from a truly icky cold
[06:02] <Lancelot> well at least you're recovering
[06:02] <valorie> finishing listening to sessions from UDS last week
[06:02] <valorie> in Budapest
[06:02] <Lancelot> UDS?
[06:03] <valorie> ubuntu developer summit
[06:03] <valorie> they hold it once per cycle
[06:03] <Lancelot> I see
[06:03] <valorie> I went last time, to Orlando Florida
[06:03] <Lancelot> i decided to put ubuntu server in a VM
[06:03] <Lancelot> and I'm failing horribly at it
[06:03] <valorie> but wasn't sponsored this time
[06:05] <valorie> I've only set up a VM one time for testing purposes
[06:06] <valorie> so I'm not the best person to ask
[06:06] <Lancelot> hmm
[06:06] <valorie> try #ubuntu ?
[06:06] <Lancelot> I'm figuring it out bit by bit
[06:06] <Lancelot> need to pick up a book on the shell
[06:32] <MarkDude> Does Wa Team get books from Oreilly?
[06:33] <MarkDude> They are good about sending books- Or will be getting some
[06:33] <MarkDude> OR
[06:33] <valorie> I've not heard about any
[06:33] <valorie> review copies, you mean?
[06:40] <Lancelot> good idea
[06:40] <Lancelot> might be useful
[06:40] <Lancelot> perhaps they would offer a discount to a LUG
[06:41] <valorie> perhaps GSLUG is hooked up
[06:41] <valorie> that I don't know
[06:41] <valorie> and salt might be asleep
[06:41] <valorie> he'd know
[06:41] <Salt> hmm
[06:41] <Salt> sleep?
[06:41] <Salt> no, we don't do the o'reilly review
[06:41] <Salt> s
[06:42] <Salt> i wouldn't mind setting it up
[06:43] <valorie> sleep is a unix command
[06:43] <valorie> also, something some humans do nightly
[06:44] <Lancelot> yup
[06:44] <Lancelot> most do anyhow
[06:45] <valorie> Salt is a bit of an.. outlier
[06:50] <Lancelot> I see
[06:55]  * valorie goes off to do some laundry
[07:11] <MarkDude> Sorry got distracted
[07:12] <MarkDude> They will send free books as well as discounts
[07:13] <MarkDude> It is harder to get new books, but they will give some- depepnding on the group
[07:13] <MarkDude> getting Ebooks and books that have been out for a while is hella easy
[07:16] <Lancelot> hmm
[07:23] <MarkDude> i have an HTML5 book they gave GidgetKitchen a while ago- actually a good read
[07:23] <MarkDude> A good way to keep them happy is do reviews
[07:23] <Lancelot> not a bad idea
[07:24] <MarkDude> Your area of interest limits the idea of negative reviews
[07:24] <Lancelot> how so?
[07:41] <MarkDude>   
[07:41] <MarkDude> They have books you can learn with
[07:42] <MarkDude> its not subjective, the author of the html 5
[07:43] <MarkDude> book has humor  he put into it- if you did not like the humor inthe book- go ahead and review it  that  way- you will still learn, and they are happy for a review
[07:45] <MarkDude> It gets publicity- whether or not someone caresabout interjected humor- they are  usually after the subject matter
