[01:20] <philipballew> can someone help me make a wiki for a ubuntu hour i'm gonna have next week
[01:21] <pleia2> a loco directory entry?
[01:21] <pleia2> first go here and log in: http://loco.ubuntu.com/
[01:22] <pleia2> (it uses launchpad)
[01:23] <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
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <philipballew> alright. no worries! this looks easy
[01:33] <philipballew> can i edit once i made it, I messed up the time. the dang utc got me once again
[01:34] <philipballew> nvm i see i
[01:34] <philipballew> t
[01:38] <pleia2> in events the venue is what sets the time zone
[01:38] <pleia2> so set the time zone for the panera bread
[01:40] <pleia2> we don't want UTC showing up in event listing, it confuses everyone :)
[01:40]  * pleia2 heads out
[01:41] <philipballew> its there, ill look into fixing it.
[02:06] <nuboon2age> jtatum: pleia2: i'm not at SJ Ubuntu Hour tonight - too exhausted after moving storage stuff all day.
[02:07] <nuboon2age> i never scheduled it anyway
[02:08] <nuboon2age> pleia2 or anyone know whats up w the calender???
[02:09] <nuboon2age> aaditya are you back from your trip?
[02:37] <nuboon2age> Brendan el gato.says hi!
[03:10] <philipballew> would you guys think it is worth enabling ipv6 in my network or is ipv4 just fine for now?
[03:38] <rww> gonna have to do it at some point, may as well do it now if it's plausible for your network
[03:47] <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?
[03:48] <pleia2> (I can do it if you need)
[03:49] <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?
[03:51] <pleia2> no one mentioned anything about an SJ ubuntu hour tonight
[04:20] <MarkDude> sn9, http://exiledintejas.com/post/7458079599/nyan-cat-white-board
[04:21] <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
[04:24] <rww> yup, http://nyan.cat/
[04:29] <MarkDude> Nyan cat is a good meme
[04:29] <MarkDude> With more life than another funny one- magnets- how do they work?
[04:32] <MarkDude> El Fua http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/el-fua
[04:33] <MarkDude> The meme infecting South America
[04:34] <MarkDude> Happy birthday jledbetter
[04:35] <pleia2> oh no, enough memes here, I don't need to know about those on other continents!
[04:39] <sn9> i just pasted the whiteboard link to you-know-who
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <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
[04:44] <philipballew> whats the reason utc is the standard?
[04:44] <pleia2> it's just the default
[04:45] <sn9> isle of man, too
[04:46] <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 :\
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <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 :(
[04:50] <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)
[04:51]  * pleia2 made them add the "copy event" feature ;)
[04:51] <philipballew> pleia2, Ill just send out an email tonight
[04:51] <pleia2> woohoo
[04:52] <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
[05:08] <nhaines> pleia2: it was a beautiful 20 degrees Celsius today.
[05:09] <pleia2> perfect weather!
[05:10] <pleia2> I know 3 celcius temperatures: 0 is freezing, 20 is perfect, 40 is very hot :)
[05:11] <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!
[05:12] <pleia2> nhaines: haha, nice
[05:12] <pleia2> it was in the 50s and cloudy here, ah july in SF
[05:14] <philipballew> pleia2, any chance of sending that weather east a few miles?
[05:15] <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!
[05:16] <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...
[05:17] <nhaines> I think I had a Volkswagen Golf 3.
[05:29] <rww> wait, I'm not supposed to be going 135kph on interstates?
[06:11] <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.
[06:12] <nuboon2age> plia2: when i went to look for the event calendar i couldnt find it.
[07:04] <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.
[18:05] <philipballew> I'm lookin for a new search engine. any recommendations?
[18:09] <MarkDude> Duckduckgo
[18:09] <MarkDude> decent
[18:09] <MarkDude> Bing does not suck that much, tbh
[18:10] <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
[18:11] <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
[18:27] <nhaines> Firefox is "more open"?
[18:28] <pleia2> I'd agree when compared to chrome (not chromium)
[18:28]  * jledbetter <3s mozilla
[18:29] <philipballew> pleia2, Google and floss have a very interesting relationship.
[18:29] <pleia2> indeed
[18:30] <MarkDude> https://plus.google.com/105095769731159704550/posts?hl=en  << gato poderoso
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <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.
[18:33] <philipballew> nhaines, this is true. i liked sketchup before it was bought.
[18:33] <MarkDude> Google becomes Skynet, by taking pieces we like, IMHO
[18:34] <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
[19:25]  * 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
[19:27] <MarkDude> I was hoping Tatica would be able to make it to CLS this year- but nogo, maybe next
[20:58] <nhaines> pleia2: I guess next week will be fun.  :)
[20:59] <pleia2> hope so :)
