| philipballew | can someone help me make a wiki for a ubuntu hour i'm gonna have next week | 01:20 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | a loco directory entry? | 01:21 |
| pleia2 | first go here and log in: http://loco.ubuntu.com/ | 01:21 |
| pleia2 | (it uses launchpad) | 01:22 |
| pleia2 | once you've logged in you should see a "My Teams" link at the top | 01:23 |
| pleia2 | under Ubuntu California there is an Events subheading and a "+ new event" link | 01:23 |
| pleia2 | it should be pretty straight forward from there, I need to run downstairs for a mingling with neighbors in the lobby thing in a minute | 01:24 |
| philipballew | alright. no worries! this looks easy | 01:25 |
| philipballew | can i edit once i made it, I messed up the time. the dang utc got me once again | 01:33 |
| philipballew | nvm i see i | 01:34 |
| philipballew | t | 01:34 |
| pleia2 | in events the venue is what sets the time zone | 01:38 |
| pleia2 | so set the time zone for the panera bread | 01:38 |
| pleia2 | we don't want UTC showing up in event listing, it confuses everyone :) | 01:40 |
| * pleia2 heads out | 01:40 | |
| philipballew | its there, ill look into fixing it. | 01:41 |
| nuboon2age | jtatum: pleia2: i'm not at SJ Ubuntu Hour tonight - too exhausted after moving storage stuff all day. | 02:06 |
| nuboon2age | i never scheduled it anyway | 02:07 |
| nuboon2age | pleia2 or anyone know whats up w the calender??? | 02:08 |
| nuboon2age | aaditya are you back from your trip? | 02:09 |
| nuboon2age | Brendan el gato.says hi! | 02:37 |
| philipballew | would you guys think it is worth enabling ipv6 in my network or is ipv4 just fine for now? | 03:10 |
| rww | gonna have to do it at some point, may as well do it now if it's plausible for your network | 03:38 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: you just need to go into the venue and set a time zone | 03:47 |
| akk | Kinda depends on what sort of network, and how it connects to the outside world, no? | 03:47 |
| pleia2 | (I can do it if you need) | 03:48 |
| pleia2 | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/venues/United%20States/507/detail/ and "Edit Venue Details" | 03:49 |
| pleia2 | nuboon2age: what calendar? what's the problem with it? | 03:49 |
| pleia2 | no one mentioned anything about an SJ ubuntu hour tonight | 03:51 |
| MarkDude | sn9, http://exiledintejas.com/post/7458079599/nyan-cat-white-board | 04:20 |
| MarkDude | Meow | 04:21 |
| pleia2 | I finally watched that original video today | 04:21 |
| pleia2 | it was... nyan cat | 04:21 |
| MarkDude | There is a timer one- to see how long you can listen | 04:21 |
| rww | yup, http://nyan.cat/ | 04:24 |
| MarkDude | Nyan cat is a good meme | 04:29 |
| MarkDude | With more life than another funny one- magnets- how do they work? | 04:29 |
| MarkDude | El Fua http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/el-fua | 04:32 |
| MarkDude | The meme infecting South America | 04:33 |
| MarkDude | Happy birthday jledbetter | 04:34 |
| pleia2 | oh no, enough memes here, I don't need to know about those on other continents! | 04:35 |
| sn9 | i just pasted the whiteboard link to you-know-who | 04:39 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: around? | 04:42 |
| philipballew | yes | 04:42 |
| philipballew | pleia2, | 04:42 |
| pleia2 | ok, go here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/venues/United%20States/507/update/ | 04:42 |
| philipballew | i am here | 04:42 |
| philipballew | what do i need to do? | 04:43 |
| pleia2 | timezone is currently set to UTC, change it to US/Pacific | 04:43 |
| pleia2 | then no one has to worry about figuring out UTC time | 04:43 |
| philipballew | whats the reason utc is the standard? | 04:44 |
| pleia2 | it's just the default | 04:44 |
| sn9 | isle of man, too | 04:45 |
| philipballew | can i change it from 24 hour to 12 hour format | 04:46 |
| pleia2 | UTC is "Coordinated Universal Time" (obviously not english :)), so it makes sense for it to be the default | 04:46 |
| pleia2 | no, it's all in 24 hour format | 04:46 |
| philipballew | sn9, anytime work best for you to come the a ubuntu hour? | 04:46 |
| pleia2 | the US is kinda strange for having 12 hour clocks :\ | 04:46 |
| philipballew | pleia2, but it works for us | 04:47 |
| rww | barely | 04:47 |
| pleia2 | speak for yourself! all my clocks are 24 hour :) | 04:47 |
| * rww is part of the 24-hour-and-metric illuminati | 04:47 | |
| pleia2 | my poor human brain does not grok metric, but I support it :D | 04:47 |
| philipballew | pleia2, im quite happy with my miles and my 12 hours! | 04:47 |
| rww | i also write dates as yyyy-mm-dd | 04:47 |
| pleia2 | always have to be careful of that on forms when traveling | 04:48 |
| pleia2 | us crazy americans getting month and day all mixed up :) | 04:48 |
| sn9 | philipballew: 110% up in the air right now | 04:48 |
| philipballew | no worries. ill just put it sometime and see if you can stop by | 04:49 |
| pleia2 | MM-DD-YYYY really makes no sense | 04:49 |
| philipballew | who started it i wonder | 04:49 |
| rww | DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS doesn't really either :( | 04:49 |
| pleia2 | indeed | 04:50 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: loco directory entry looks great, thanks for fixing that :) | 04:50 |
| pleia2 | now that the venue is in the system you just select it from the list for the next one (or copy the event and change the date - that's what I do for SF hours) | 04:50 |
| * pleia2 made them add the "copy event" feature ;) | 04:51 | |
| philipballew | pleia2, Ill just send out an email tonight | 04:51 |
| pleia2 | woohoo | 04:51 |
| philipballew | I am trying to get people to come who are not on the mailing list as well. figure thats how things grow | 04:52 |
| * pleia2 nods | 04:52 | |
| nhaines | pleia2: it was a beautiful 20 degrees Celsius today. | 05:08 |
| pleia2 | perfect weather! | 05:09 |
| pleia2 | I know 3 celcius temperatures: 0 is freezing, 20 is perfect, 40 is very hot :) | 05:10 |
| nhaines | pleia2: for your body, 37 is just right. :) | 05:11 |
| pleia2 | good to know | 05:11 |
| nhaines | pleia2: here's a handy conversion chart: http://xkcd.com/526/ | 05:11 |
| philipballew | its 78 in auburn here today. hasnt been bellow 90 is a while. now its great! | 05:11 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: haha, nice | 05:12 |
| pleia2 | it was in the 50s and cloudy here, ah july in SF | 05:12 |
| philipballew | pleia2, any chance of sending that weather east a few miles? | 05:14 |
| pleia2 | I'll tell my cat, she controls the weather | 05:15 |
| nhaines | pleia2: so now you'll know that 110 kph is the Interstate speed limit, and 130kph is the speed you *actually* go when it says "65". | 05:15 |
| nhaines | Also I meant 120 kph and this font is tiny on Windows. | 05:15 |
| pleia2 | signs in maine have km on them too, so I have distance down ok (which was useful when I was driving in canada) | 05:15 |
| pleia2 | still, it was fun to be all wooo I'm going 110! | 05:15 |
| nhaines | I went 135kph on the Autobahn. I wasn't especially impressed. :) | 05:16 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 05:16 |
| pleia2 | well, I was driving an economy rental... | 05:16 |
| nhaines | I think I had a Volkswagen Golf 3. | 05:17 |
| rww | wait, I'm not supposed to be going 135kph on interstates? | 05:29 |
| nuboon2age | pleia2: right no one mentioned it because i nevrr scheduled it on the event calendar, as i said. But i had written on the ubuntu hour project page that its the second Thu each month. | 06:11 |
| nuboon2age | plia2: when i went to look for the event calendar i couldnt find it. | 06:12 |
| nhaines | That reminds me. When I talk about how to run an Ubuntu Hour next week I'll mention how important it is to set a consistant schedule and carry through on commitments. | 07:04 |
| philipballew | I'm lookin for a new search engine. any recommendations? | 18:05 |
| MarkDude | Duckduckgo | 18:09 |
| MarkDude | decent | 18:09 |
| MarkDude | Bing does not suck that much, tbh | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | it sounds like he's trying to get away from google, not use a google clone :) | 18:10 |
| philipballew | google is annoying me. im set my homepage to yahoo and switched from chrome to firefox today | 18:10 |
| philipballew | getting annoyed at google trying to have me use them for all my computing needs. plus firefox is more open | 18:11 |
| philipballew | i have used duck duck go. its really nice | 18:11 |
| philipballew | its probably just what your used to | 18:11 |
| nhaines | Firefox is "more open"? | 18:27 |
| pleia2 | I'd agree when compared to chrome (not chromium) | 18:28 |
| * jledbetter <3s mozilla | 18:28 | |
| philipballew | pleia2, Google and floss have a very interesting relationship. | 18:29 |
| pleia2 | indeed | 18:29 |
| MarkDude | https://plus.google.com/105095769731159704550/posts?hl=en << gato poderoso | 18:30 |
| philipballew | in some ways there open source, but with there apps like earth and sketch up. there not. makes me wonder their motive | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | not uncommon for companies to offer both closed and open source products | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | canonical does too | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | but some question their motives as well | 18:31 |
| nhaines | philipballew: they bought Google Earth and Sketchup. | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | (even launchpad itself was closed source for several years!) | 18:32 |
| philipballew | nhaines, this is true. i liked sketchup before it was bought. | 18:32 |
| philipballew | nhaines, this is true. i liked sketchup before it was bought. | 18:33 |
| MarkDude | Google becomes Skynet, by taking pieces we like, IMHO | 18:33 |
| MarkDude | And also running on Apple hardware | 18:34 |
| philipballew | NO! not launchpad! haha. ubuntu isnt always the most liked linux based os by other linux users for those reasons | 18:34 |
| jledbetter | haha MarkDude | 18:34 |
| * MarkDude 's original penguin suit is getting much love in South America http://galeria.cnsl.org.ve/2011/07-lara/131.html | 19:25 | |
| pleia2 | hehe, awesome | 19:25 |
| MarkDude | I was hoping Tatica would be able to make it to CLS this year- but nogo, maybe next | 19:27 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I guess next week will be fun. :) | 20:58 |
| pleia2 | hope so :) | 20:59 |
