| jyo | Oh sweet, my first (unintentional) post to the mailing list. Could've gone worse. | 05:50 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | yeah, that wasn't so bad :) and you're in good company | 06:13 |
| pleia2 | <insert debate about automatic reply to list vs reply to poster here> | 06:13 |
| pleia2 | btw, Ubuntu Developer Week is happening in #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat right now, currently "Getting Started with Ubuntu Development" | 17:02 |

| jyo | bleh | 19:42 |
| pleia2 | hehe, just yesterday jdeslip was complaining at berkeleylug that he gets irssi windows mixed up with terminals ;) | 19:43 |
| akk | They are terminals, right? | 19:43 |
| pleia2 | sorry, shell prompts | 19:43 |
| akk | But even with xchat, I type commands sometimes because I think focus is in a different window. | 19:43 |
| nhaines | Yay, I'm giving a presentation for Ubuntu Community Week! \o/ | 22:11 |
| * pleia2 collects nhaines card | 22:12 | |
| * nhaines isn't sure he'd even seen the flag of the City of Los Angeles before. | 22:12 | |
| pleia2 | haha | 22:13 |
| nhaines | I also would rather the photo wasn't cropped, but eh... details. :) | 22:14 |
| nhaines | The card idea is a pretty neat one. A really good way to drum up interest! | 22:14 |
| pleia2 | yeah, my bio was cropped to drop the fact that I'm a sysadmin (way for me to get pigeonholed as "just another chick who does commuinty stuff") | 22:15 |
| pleia2 | again | 22:15 |
| nhaines | He ran the abridged bio by me first... maybe that's why. | 22:16 |
| nhaines | pleia2: besides, everyone knows girls can't run servers. ;) | 22:16 |
| pleia2 | I probably should have told him the sysadmin thing was important to me | 22:16 |
| nhaines | Actually, every single female tech I've ever met has been really sharp. I wish I could say the same for the male techs. | 22:16 |
| pleia2 | honestly it's hard to cut it if we're not (we get lots of http://xkcd.com/385/) | 22:17 |
| nhaines | I always assumed that was it. I don't actually expect gender to make a difference in skill. | 22:18 |
| nhaines | The new level 2 technician we hired seems to be doing well. What she lacked in domain-specific knowledge she made up for in sounding confident. Which of course kept the customers at bay until she gained the domain-specific knowledge. :) | 22:19 |
| pleia2 | confidence is a still I seriously need to improve upon, I am far too honest (which endears some of our clients to me, but causes others to walk all over me) | 22:20 |
| pleia2 | and makes me completely useless in job interviews | 22:20 |
| nhaines | pleia2: As I always say regarding public speakers (and new techies), you only have to sound confident. Actual confidence is optional. :) | 22:21 |
| pleia2 | I've certainly gotten much better where public speaking confidence is concerned, so there is hope :) | 22:22 |
| nhaines | pleia2: don't worry, you still have 12 more days to continue improving until the keynote. :D | 22:22 |
| pleia2 | oh where has july gone? | 22:23 |
| nhaines | Yeah, it passed pretty quickly. | 22:25 |
