[01:11] <pleia2> MarkDude: geeknic announcements? :)
[01:12] <MarkDude> Uh, I may have a hicup with needing to take Gma to baseball game
[01:12] <MarkDude> Sorta no fun here
[01:12] <MarkDude> It is a double header, and the person that was going to take her - cant
[01:12] <pleia2> wanna skip it and pour our effort into linux picnic next month?
[01:12] <MarkDude> Possibly
[01:12] <MarkDude> Will know tonight
[01:12] <pleia2> ok
[01:13]  * grantbow waves from Ubunt Hour
[01:13]  * MarkDude 's life has been revolving around going to OSCON and CLS
[01:13] <MarkDude> and hopefully finding an awesome job
[01:14]  * MarkDude thinks his effort to market himself as cutrate jo no Bacon and Karsten Wade will work
[01:14] <MarkDude> With a bit of Joe Pesci thrown in for good measure :D
[01:15]  * MarkDude still thinks you should wear Leia Dress from end of Star Wars movie, as well as play the award song from the movie at wedding
[01:15] <MarkDude> Even if you don't we should tell folks you will
[01:16] <pleia2> lol
[01:16] <pleia2> mj would not approve :)
[01:16]  * MarkDude will edit a few pictures to make it appear that way
[01:16] <pleia2> I did try to talk him into eloping though
[01:16] <MarkDude> Fair enough, don't want to upset the mammoth hunter ;D
[01:17] <MarkDude> I think he would be ok with just pretending - and telling folks that is your plan
[01:17] <MarkDude> Tell folks that I am performing the ceremony- and you are deciding whether I am dressing like Obi Wan, or R2D2
[01:18] <pleia2> lol
[01:18] <MarkDude> Well you can elope- and just have a party after to invite friends
[01:19] <MarkDude> Non- Star Wars , if you must
[01:19] <pleia2> we're probably getting married back east and then having a party out here
[01:19] <MarkDude> Good deal
[01:19] <MarkDude> Better than trying to do it twice
[01:19] <MarkDude> I have had friends do it that way- they got overwhelmed
[01:19] <pleia2> two weddings?
[01:19] <pleia2> crazy people
[01:26] <MarkDude> I know
[01:27]  * MarkDude is helping friends plan theirs - it takes all sorts of work
[01:27]  * MarkDude is minister for it. It will be my 1st time doing so
[01:27] <MarkDude> They keep asking my opinion, most answers from me are -- idk
[01:28]  * MarkDude just has to help with the vows, and smartly decided that Courtney makes the other decisions
[01:29]  * MarkDude deciding bridesmaids dresses? That is not a good thing XD
[01:29] <pleia2> Courtney is also helping, or getting married?
[01:29] <MarkDude> How big will your ceremony be?
[01:29] <MarkDude> She is helping- It is my friend Sara getting married- her and Colin were at the geeknic
[01:30] <pleia2> aaahh ok
[01:30] <MarkDude> Courtney wont get married for a while I am guessing
[01:30] <pleia2> I don't know how big, I think we were shooting for 100 or so (oh gods, scary, I can't think about this)
[01:30] <MarkDude> Besides, she needs a bf 1st :)
[01:30] <pleia2> pfft, overrated
[01:30] <MarkDude> You will do fine
[01:30] <MarkDude> lol
[01:31] <MarkDude> I mean you already got a cool dude, that is the most important part
[01:31] <MarkDude> MJ is lucky it appears also ;)
[01:31] <MarkDude> 100 is actually manageable - much bigger than that can be a real hassle
[01:31] <pleia2> yeah, we both done good
[01:31] <MarkDude> +1
[01:32] <grantbow> +1
[01:32] <MarkDude> All of it is important, dont get stressed
[01:32] <MarkDude> It does not have to be perfect, accept that from the start, and you both will be able to enjoy it a bit more
[01:33] <MarkDude> The seating thing is the biggest hassle- accept that, and the rest falls into place
[01:33] <MarkDude> Pawn it off on someone else, and then you will be set
[01:33]  * MarkDude suggests maybe playing the cantina song for one of the songs during
[01:34] <MarkDude> Disco version if you dare
[01:34] <philipballew> there are so many versions of that song.
[01:37] <MarkDude> True.
[01:38] <MarkDude> All joking aside pleia2 , I have had folks suggest it is good to look at it like a dinner you must do, the work beforehand is important, its like setting the table
[01:38] <MarkDude> Dont go crazy with the details
[01:39] <MarkDude> Dont worry about it, it will work out fine
[01:39] <MarkDude> :)
[01:54] <pleia2> well, it was just me and grantbow at the Ubuntu Hour, ah summertime :)
[02:49] <rww> "Maybe I should go to San Francisco. Maybe I should sleep. sf... sleep... sf... SLEEP... sf... ZZZZZZZZZZZ"
[02:50] <pleia2> sleep++
[05:50] <jyo> So the two people who tweeted about the Ubuntu Hour were the two people who showed up?
[05:56] <pleia2> yep :)
[18:14] <MarkDude> http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2011/07/brian-wilson-skin-tight-tuxedo-espys/1
[18:14] <MarkDude> So much for my plans to wear a skin tight tux to CLS
[18:20] <seidos> bummer, sounds kind of like my plans to wear the batsuit
[18:24] <MarkDude> That would be epic seidos
[18:25] <seidos> there are always problems though
[18:25] <pleia2> MarkDude: word on geeknic?
[18:25]  * pleia2 haz weekend to plan! :)
[18:25] <seidos> started with batman, then nightwing, sooner or later, ends up being robin
[18:25] <MarkDude> lol
[18:25] <seidos> then there's the whole ambiguously gay aspect of batman and robin...
[18:26] <seidos> iheartubuntu: http://fiverr.com/users/seidos/gigs/grow-a-potato
[18:27] <iheartubuntu> hahaa!!! french fries!
[18:27] <seidos> got some ff with nephew yesterday at the mall
[18:27] <seidos> had to return microphone @ radioshack
[18:27] <iheartubuntu> ohh yah?
[18:28] <seidos> yah, need an amplifier it turns out
[18:28] <seidos> so went to local music store, they're going to call me with a price for a set up
[18:28] <MarkDude> I dont think its a go pleia2
[18:28] <MarkDude> <sad face>
[18:28] <pleia2> MarkDude: ok
[18:28] <seidos> btw, hello princess leia
[18:28] <pleia2> g'day seidos
[18:29] <seidos> what's the weather like in sf?
[18:29] <seidos> supposed to go this saturday
[18:29] <pleia2> 50s, partly cloudy
[18:29] <pleia2> same old same old
[18:30] <seidos> better bring a jacket
[18:30] <seidos> need to buy one
[18:30] <seidos> left jacket and hoodie at old place
[18:31] <MarkDude> http://gabeweb.tumblr.com/post/7620638671/star-wars-fan-builds-giant-r2d2-model-from-the << pleia2 just an idea for the after party
[18:31] <MarkDude> Use it as a cooler
[18:31] <pleia2> thank goodness that's not brian wilson in a skin tight penguin costume
[18:32] <MarkDude> I know
[18:32] <MarkDude> Although wearing it would be a for sure job opportuniyty
[18:32]  * seidos hands philipballew a robin costume
[18:33] <philipballew> I hope it fits
[18:33] <seidos> that's usually the problem isn't it?
[18:34] <philipballew> most super hero costumes are to small. because there in kids sizes
[18:34]  * seidos ponders how many push-ups robin can do
[18:35] <seidos> philipballew: this one isn't http://media.80stees.com/images/products/Bat_Man_Robin_Woman-Costume.jpg
[18:35] <philipballew> would i look good in that?
[18:36] <seidos> nah, doesn't fit
[18:36] <philipballew> dang!!1
[18:36] <pleia2> ok, this is worse than brian wilson
[18:36] <seidos> depends what is meant by "i", really
[18:36] <iheartubuntu> do it!
[18:37] <seidos> was looking through super hero cards awhile back (Marvel) and all super heroes are 5'11"+
[18:37] <seidos> average is like 6' or 6'1"
[18:37] <seidos> o_o
[18:38] <philipballew> its the steroids that make them short
[18:38] <iheartubuntu> i guess im a dwarf hero
[18:38] <seidos> tall?
[18:38] <seidos> apparently captain america's steroids made him taller
[18:39] <seidos> lol
[18:39] <seidos> the guy from breaking bad looks like Gordon Freeman from Half-Life
[18:39] <seidos> how absurd, Obiwan is 5'9"
[18:40] <seidos> so, yeah, if shorter than 6', better learn the force
[18:40] <iheartubuntu> seidos - your potato growing venture is worth a tweet :)
[18:40] <seidos> iheartubuntu: good idea
[18:41] <iheartubuntu> i hope it helps you! just imagine the $5 rolling in. i hope your farm is ready for the influx
[18:42] <izdubar> iheartubuntu, have you seen pics of plants recently?
[18:42] <izdubar> I have big plants now
[18:43] <izdubar> Nixie Pixel may be getting one of the tomato plants
[18:52] <iheartubuntu> of tomatoes? potatoes?
[18:52] <iheartubuntu> you have pics?
[18:58] <izdubar> Yep
[18:59]  * MarkDude will find them
[19:29] <MarkDude> pleia2, bonus points for MJ. Much style on how he did things. Looks like it took some imagination and work on his part.
[19:29] <MarkDude> +1
[19:29] <pleia2> yeah, he did an amazing job :)
[19:30] <MarkDude> Better than proposing using text on sign at baseball game :D
[19:31] <pleia2> lol
[19:31] <MarkDude> You would have to text back , nope- try harder next time
[19:31] <pleia2> yes :)
[22:12] <philipballew> pleia2, am I free to like the womens page or is that a gender only thing?
[22:12] <pleia2> philipballew: anyone can like it :)
[22:13] <philipballew> sweet!
[22:13] <pleia2> no gender restrictions anywhere in the project
[22:14] <pleia2> even our goal, while is women-focused, often drifts into generic diversity and accessibility things
[22:23] <philipballew> is there a ubuntu-mens group or is the thought that women and more a minority so they need a own group? just wanna know so i can join it to if there is one
[22:23] <rww> in short, no
[22:24] <philipballew> i see rww
[22:24] <philipballew> oh well...
[22:25] <pleia2> someone could start a men's group if they felt that men were under-represented in the community and needed their own group
[22:25] <pleia2> but thus far everyone who has done such a thing is trolling us
[22:25] <pleia2> apparently picking on minorities is fun for them
[22:25] <pleia2> attacking women, woo
[22:25] <philipballew> seemes like an odd way to pick on someone
[22:25]  * pleia2 does not understand trolls :(
[22:26] <philipballew> pleia2, I agree, whats the point
[22:47] <rww> philipballew: I wish everyone shared that mindset, then there wouldn't be >300 bans in #ubuntu ;(
[22:48] <philipballew> what do they do to get banned?
[22:49] <rww> trolling, cussing up a storm, spamming "where is channel for stock" repeatedly, letting their cat walk over the keyboard, asking for help with non-Ubuntu distros and not listening when we redirect them, bizzare stalkerish comments, notice flooding people with anti-semitic rants... and that's just stuff from the past week :|
[22:51] <philipballew> its easy for them to say that because they are not face to face with the people
[23:09] <nhaines> The invention "punch to the face via TCP/IP" will revolutionize the Internet.
