| rww | my headache is back in force. guess i'm not going to SF ;( | 00:41 |
| pleia2 | rww: ouch, hope you feel better! | 01:16 |
| MarkDude | aaditya, ping | 02:14 |
| MarkDude | https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dFkzbnZoVXVDMkJ1dmlXbjh0Q09MS1E6MQ&ndplr=1#gid=0 | 02:42 |
| rww | is there a Google page somewhere verifying that that's legitimate? | 02:43 |
| MarkDude | Vic Gundotra posted it | 02:53 |
| MarkDude | He is pretty legit | 02:53 |
| MarkDude | this is where + announcements come from | 02:54 |
| MarkDude | Engineering Director of Google+ :) | 02:54 |
| MarkDude | https://plus.google.com/107117483540235115863/posts?tab=XX | 02:54 |
| MarkDude | invites are sorta open | 02:55 |
| MarkDude | we get to invite a few | 02:55 |
| MarkDude | YokoZar, you have gmail adress for +1 invite? | 03:08 |
| YokoZar | MarkDude: I already got invited but when I went last it was sort of uninvited | 03:09 |
| YokoZar | can I actually sign up now? | 03:09 |
| MarkDude | No- but we are able to send a few invites | 03:09 |
| akk | I don't think invites mean anything at all. | 03:10 |
| MarkDude | They need to be resent for the moment | 03:10 |
| akk | Either it lets people in, or it doesn't. | 03:10 |
| MarkDude | Look at Vics post | 03:10 |
| MarkDude | well they did not specify number | 03:10 |
| MarkDude | looks like we need to choose a few- I resent to 5 people I had invited | 03:11 |
| MarkDude | people that resend now get invite sent, all the rest will get to respond after it is fully open- he explained partially why | 03:12 |
| MarkDude | We continue to throttle invites, so please don't mass invite folks as it won't work. If you invite a handful of your most important friends and family you're much more likely to get these folks into our system. | 03:13 |
| MarkDude | Still some chance to it- like lottery :) | 03:13 |
| MarkDude | aaditya, pingy you invited person I wanted to check if this actually works | 03:13 |
| MarkDude | :) | 03:13 |
| akk | So MarkDude, now that I'm finally in, how do I find people like you to add? | 03:14 |
| akk | I guess I just have to search for people individually by name, there's no way of saying "now that I've found MarkDude, I can find the other ubunteros from his profile" ? | 03:14 |
| MarkDude | Once you get a few people added- the suggested folks become slightly relelvant | 03:15 |
| akk | oh, wait, when I search I can see your profile and get to other people's from there | 03:15 |
| MarkDude | took it a bit to figure out some of my circles | 03:15 |
| akk | but I couldn't do that for people who were already in my circles | 03:15 |
| MarkDude | Yep | 03:15 |
| akk | couldn't find any way to see their profiles | 03:15 |
| philipballew | noone invited me ... | 03:16 |
| MarkDude | I have a fair amount of famous techies- as well as Linux, and other geeks | 03:16 |
| akk | Do people get a notice when someone adds them, so they can add back (if they want to)? | 03:16 |
| philipballew | so Linus invited you MarkDude ? | 03:17 |
| MarkDude | Nope | 03:17 |
| MarkDude | Chris W did - he is not saying how he got invite last month | 03:18 |
| MarkDude | nick sexycatsinhats | 03:18 |
| MarkDude | akk, yes they do | 03:18 |
| MarkDude | I put all the people in a follow list- and see what they share | 03:19 |
| rww | hrm, maybe I should get my mom on Google+ then, if it's less closed right now | 03:19 |
| MarkDude | I have taken a few off after I see what they post | 03:19 |
| rww | I blocked and reported someone for the first time today. | 03:19 |
| MarkDude | rww- just for the video feature- to show cat videos | 03:19 |
| sn9 | rww: who? | 03:19 |
| MarkDude | or in your case turtles | 03:19 |
| * MarkDude 's case penguins | 03:20 | |
| rww | http://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/+/policy/content.html is pretty excellent, btw | 03:20 |
| rww | sn9: an Ubuntu community member who shall remain nameless | 03:20 |
| sn9 | in california? | 03:20 |
| rww | no | 03:21 |
| sn9 | ok | 03:21 |
| akk | People don't know what circle I'm adding them to, right? | 03:22 |
| rww | akk: correct | 03:22 |
| rww | just that you added them to one | 03:22 |
| MarkDude | akk I just saw you added me | 03:22 |
| MarkDude | I dont know where tho | 03:23 |
| * MarkDude made post about that afew days ago- after adding Mike arrington- I put him in D-Bag circle | 03:23 | |
| MarkDude | then wondered about what circle people put me in- most common answer was geek, followed by Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, and my favorite, people that wear penguin suits while giving talks :) | 03:25 |
| * MarkDude suggests Gina Trapani and JEff Jarvis- since their stuff is very relvant to google + | 03:26 | |
| MarkDude | philipballew, you want invite? | 03:26 |
| philipballew | yeah, id love one | 03:26 |
| philipballew | maybe | 03:26 |
| philipballew | i dont know much about it but i would like one | 03:27 |
| MarkDude | You need a gmail- | 03:28 |
| philipballew | philipballew@gmail.com | 03:28 |
| MarkDude | and maybe your google profile set up- I think those of us that set up profiles last year were signing up in advance and did not know | 03:28 |
| philipballew | yeah. I had friends who set those up a few months back | 03:29 |
| philipballew | I wonder if this will do better then google buzz | 03:29 |
| MarkDude | Yes | 03:31 |
| * MarkDude will bet 1 US dollar on that | 03:31 | |
| MarkDude | philipballew, you are invited | 03:31 |
| MarkDude | check mail | 03:31 |
| MarkDude | I mean they got apple folks on it- hired away | 03:31 |
| rww | I'm waiting for Google Buzz to get integrated into Google+ properly, personally | 03:32 |
| philipballew | google buzz wasnt very popular | 03:32 |
| philipballew | MarkDude, haha, no email. perhaps google isn't inviting anyone else\ | 03:37 |
| MarkDude | I think they hit the number quickly | 03:40 |
| MarkDude | they wanted to double | 03:40 |
| MarkDude | and aaditya most likely lost a chance for the moment :( | 03:40 |
| MarkDude | Damn you dragon, where are you ? :D | 03:40 |
| philipballew | im pretty happy with twitter now | 03:41 |
| MarkDude | philipballew, then you will like part of this- it has a similar aspect, but better | 03:42 |
| philipballew | MarkDude, how so? | 03:43 |
| akk | It seems much more like facebook than twitter, right now | 03:43 |
| MarkDude | the circle thing | 03:44 |
| MarkDude | I have a following list | 03:44 |
| MarkDude | of people that works out to very similar to Twitter | 03:44 |
| MarkDude | for friends and stuff it is more like FB | 03:45 |
| philipballew | so its a mix i guess | 03:45 |
| MarkDude | For sure. Not only that- it will have open API | 03:54 |
| MarkDude | so it can have extensions | 03:55 |
| MarkDude | they are not doin gthat yet- since they are still trying different backends | 03:55 |
| MarkDude | Yay, my sister is on here- her invite worked | 03:57 |
| MarkDude | I really think it is because she is kinda near the Vally | 03:57 |
| MarkDude | valley | 03:57 |
| rww | I'm assuming that my initial guess of "San Fernando" is wrong and you mean Silicon. | 03:57 |
| rww | MarkDude: so I figure you'll know. What was this Facebook announcement thing? | 04:52 |
| MarkDude | It was crap. It should have been a blogpost | 05:03 |
| MarkDude | Mark Z taught us math, for like 20 minutes | 05:03 |
| pleia2 | the skype integration for voice chat? | 05:03 |
| * MarkDude was part of google hangout with chris Pirillo on it | 05:03 | |
| MarkDude | YEp, no workie for Linux | 05:04 |
| * MarkDude says eff Mark Z in neck | 05:04 | |
| MarkDude | in neck | 05:04 |
| MarkDude | :) | 05:04 |
| rww | oh, so nothing I care about then | 05:04 |
| pleia2 | skype is kinda past it's prime anyway | 05:04 |
| pleia2 | its | 05:04 |
| MarkDude | it was like welcom to 2007 | 05:04 |
| philipballew | MarkDude, pleia2 rww skype for linux could fade out now anyway to to msofts new ownership to | 05:10 |
| MarkDude | Zonker posted about that subject, it was pretty good | 05:11 |
| rww | not that it means much, but "Microsoft will continue to invest in and support Skype clients on non-Microsoft platforms" ~ Microsoft press release | 05:11 |
| philipballew | they also have said "we love open source" rww | 05:12 |
| rww | And? Some of Microsoft does love Open Source. Some of them even love Free Software :) | 05:14 |
| philipballew | yet they abuse the foss industry | 05:15 |
| rww | I'd love to see statistics on how many Free Software developers fix Windows installations for their day job :) | 05:17 |
| rww | and personally, I'm a fan of good things (like Linux) having competition. I'm not a fan of things like patents, but I think abuse of software patents is ultimately the government's fault for creating them. | 05:18 |
| philipballew | I have had jobs fixing windows machines. how should the patent system be changed? | 05:19 |
| rww | To focus narrowly, software patents shouldn't be issued and current software patents should be rescinded. | 05:20 |
| philipballew | tell that to apple... | 05:21 |
| rww | (assumption: we're talking about the USA here :) | 05:21 |
| rww | philipballew: and Redhat, and Google, and all the other companies that own them. | 05:21 |
| philipballew | for sure. redhat is interesting. not always sure how to feel about them | 05:22 |
| philipballew | google as well. they are big on free software. somewhat and other ways not | 05:24 |
| MarkDude | https://plus.google.com/109381089725745119133/posts Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier commenting about MS patents | 05:41 |
| MarkDude | in reacting to Matt Asay | 05:41 |
| philipballew | google+ opened up apperently | 07:30 |
| pleia2 | I need an "ignore MarkDude's hangouts" button on g+ | 20:28 |
| pleia2 | ;) | 20:28 |
| nigelb | haha | 20:29 |
| MarkDude | :) | 20:30 |
| MarkDude | Well I am seeing if it works at Starbucks - it does | 20:31 |
| MarkDude | and also if it works while people are at work- not so much | 20:34 |
| MarkDude | besides, I gotta be social | 20:43 |
