| valorie | hi tenach | 04:53 |
| MarkDude | hello | 05:04 |
| tenach | Allo valorie and MarkDude :) | 05:19 |
| valorie | are you here in Washington state? | 05:20 |
| valorie | sec, old dog | 05:20 |
| tenach | Aye, I am. | 05:21 |
| tenach | I've been more of a lurker than anything as far as LoCo's go. | 05:22 |
| androidbruce | valorie, you around? | 05:23 |
| androidbruce | join #kuuntu | 05:37 |
| meonkeys | anyone in here own any bitcoins? | 06:05 |
| meonkeys | just curious. | 06:05 |
| tenach | I own only a fraction of one. | 06:09 |
| tenach | haha. | 06:09 |
| tenach | I don't have machines that can generate them fast enough, nor do I really want to buy 'em from people. | 06:09 |
| meonkeys | looks like they're up to about USD 7-something per bitcoin | 06:12 |
| valorie | dollars, or cents? | 06:25 |
| meonkeys | dollars | 06:25 |
| valorie | oh wow | 06:26 |
| tenach | Yeah. | 06:28 |
| tenach | They're getting rather crazy. | 06:28 |
| SK_Enigma | This is the Ubu chan for WA state, not DC, correct | 15:55 |
| Uber_Geek | anyone near Spokane? | 16:22 |
| tenach | Hello Uber_Geek. I'm nowhere near Spokane. | 16:59 |
| Uber_Geek | so is this cahnnel for WA state, or DC? | 16:59 |
| tenach | WA State | 17:05 |
| tenach | I'm in Tacoma. Tacoma is quite a bit away from Spokane. | 17:05 |
| Uber_Geek | oh good. I know where Tacoma is, got fam there. | 17:06 |
| Uber_Geek | So what are your thoughts on the Unity interface? | 17:08 |
| tenach | I dislike it greatly. | 18:34 |
| tenach | While I do acknowledge that it is possibly good for newcomers to Ubuntu, I do not like how restricted it seems. | 18:34 |
| tenach | Nor do I like that it ups the minimum requirements for a machine to run Ubuntu in the way it's currently designed. | 18:34 |
| Uber_Geek | I have been very un-impressed as well. expecially on my netbook. | 18:35 |
| tenach | Yeah... Unity doesn't even run on my inspiron mini. | 18:54 |
| Uber_Geek | have you tried Gnome 3? | 18:54 |
| tenach | Nope. | 18:54 |
| tenach | I've not been to interested in it, since it just seems to hog resources... | 18:55 |
| tenach | In my opinion, that is. | 18:55 |
| Uber_Geek | it totally breaks unity on 11.04 and runs much faster than Unity did | 18:55 |
| tenach | Crazy. | 18:55 |
| Uber_Geek | that has been in my experiance on my Apsire One netbook | 18:55 |
| tenach | I should take a look into it. | 18:56 |
| tenach | Right now I'm running LXDE and it's treating me nice. | 18:57 |
| tenach | Hello althara | 19:22 |
| althara | hello | 19:22 |
| Uber_Geek | hello as well althara | 19:23 |
| althara | hi | 19:23 |
| tenach | How're you? | 19:34 |
| althara | Getting over a cold | 19:43 |
| althara | Yourself? | 19:43 |
| tenach | I'm doing pretty grand. Getting over the pains of helping people move and pack, for nearly a month straight. | 19:54 |
| tenach | althara: anything special I need to do to become 'more active' in this LoCo? | 19:57 |
| althara | ewww moving is icky | 19:58 |
| althara | You can help with coordinating our summer geeknic :) | 19:58 |
| tenach | Yeah, it is... especially when the house is 1/10th the size. | 19:58 |
| tenach | althara: do we know about where in Washington the majority of LoCo members are? | 20:00 |
| althara | concentrated around the puget sound | 20:00 |
| tenach | Ah, okay. | 20:00 |
| tenach | Seattle and farther north? I'm down in Tacoma. | 20:01 |
| althara | last I checked there were 50 people singed up in the launchpad group which is where we are tracking "membership" but I can't say that I've ever seen that many people active on the forum, irc or mailing list | 20:01 |
| althara | there are some people southward | 20:01 |
| althara | Burien | 20:01 |
| althara | valorie: is near black diamond | 20:01 |
| althara | a few in oly | 20:02 |
| tenach | Yeah, I haven't seen much activity, that's why I'm asking... I've been on the LP group for a while now. | 20:02 |
| althara | I think it's the curse of washington. People like the idea of doing stuff more than actually doing stuff :P | 20:02 |
| tenach | So very true! | 20:03 |
| althara | And I don't have the time or energy to coordinate and execute everything. So here we are. A few busy people really interested in the loco but we only manage to get a couple of events going during the year. | 20:04 |
| althara | That's part of the reason why I started the facebook ad campaign. A low time-cost way of spreading the news that we are interested in doing more with the loco. And I was hoping we could recruit a few more people to help get activities off the ground. | 20:05 |
| tenach | Well, I'm here to help! :D | 20:06 |
| althara | Yay | 20:06 |
| tenach | I'd love to get some events going. | 20:07 |
| althara | If you are interested in helping with the geeknic. I put a list of items which people can volunteer to help with up on the mailing list earlier this month: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-wa/2011-May/000538.html | 20:07 |
| tenach | So, this geeknic should probably be held near-ish Seattle, then.. | 20:07 |
| tenach | Yes, I have that open right now :D | 20:07 |
| althara | yeah, valorie has offered her back yard. But it is a ways out there. The benefit is it's free | 20:07 |
| althara | Seattle parks, not so much | 20:07 |
| althara | I need to get back to work now. I'll be pingable if you have a specific question though. | 20:08 |
| * tenach nods. | 20:15 | |
| tenach | I'll see what I can come up with. | 20:15 |
| Uber_Geek | I am back | 21:13 |
| Uber_Geek | Only problem that I have with "WA" based groups are most of the are around the "Seattle Area" I am near Spokane so getting to Seattle doesn't work :( | 21:14 |
| tenach | Yeah... That is another thing I was thinking about. | 21:22 |
| Uber_Geek | Wa might need to LoCo's Eastern and Western | 21:36 |
| tenach | Yeah, just might | 21:41 |
| seattlegaucho | problem w/ Eastern WA loco is it would still be geagraphically scattered ... most likely around the college campuses: WSU, CWU, Gonzaga ... etc | 23:36 |
| Uber_Geek | true, however from WSU, EWU, Gonzaga they are no more then 2 hours apart, vs a 6 hr trip to Seattle. | 23:39 |
| Uber_Geek | I just moved from Spokane, WA to Post Falls, ID and think it would be nice to merge Eastern WA and Northern ID to one group. | 23:40 |
| seattlegaucho | I drive from pulman to Seattle in 4.5 hs ... with regular traffic flow | 23:49 |
| seattlegaucho | :) | 23:49 |
| Uber_Geek | nice | 23:49 |
| seattlegaucho | the strech from vantage to pulman I call it: the never ending windows wallpaper | 23:49 |
| Uber_Geek | lol | 23:50 |
