czajkowskihey at least Google didnt get effected over there13:25
czajkowskijussi: how did you derail a post down to MS :(13:31
jussiczajkowski: oh Im so sorry...13:32
jussi:P13:32
czajkowskilots of people chose to use non oss products/applications/tools that's fine.  I use skype to ring home to the folks. doesnt make me evil, use the right tool for the right job13:33
jussiczajkowski: its after popey's "I feel so dirty" comments when he bought it...13:35
nigelbgreg-g / pleia2: lol, and ANOTHER ubuntu member stolen by the California LoCO :-P13:35
* AlanBell agrees. czajkowski isn't evil because of using skype.13:35
paultagLet's go LoCoHiO!13:35

popey*13:37
popeyNote: Not evil.13:37
greg-gnigelb: ;)13:37
paultagI'm on cygwin now. Only way I could make my work machine usable13:37
paultagbarely13:37
nigelbgreg-g: heh, when's the big move?13:39
czajkowskiakgraner: nope am just evil clearly :)13:40
czajkowskiakgraner: flip side is I'm irish, so loveable :)13:40
paultagrougish13:41
paultagyou're rougish :)13:41
paultagroguish13:41
nigelblolfail at spelling? ;)13:43
paultagnigelb: yeah, totally. rogue not rouge13:44
Pendulumczajkowski: was there some tabcomplete fail in there?13:44
* AlanBell is fully confused now13:44
nigelbI'm guessing there's a mix of IRC + facebook13:44
paultagnah13:44
czajkowskiPendulum: aye13:44
paultagI think she meant AlanBell13:44
paultagnot akgraner13:44
nigelbAh, that makes sense13:44
greg-gnigelb: fingers crossed, leaving town on Wed morning, Thurs morning at the latest. Then driving for 2 weeks across the country before making it to the bay.13:44
czajkowskiPendulum: G+ Twitter irc and fb chatting is not a goog combination for my brain it seems13:44
czajkowskiAlanBell: I'm irish :)13:45
nigelbgreg-g: You're driving cross-country? WOW!13:45
AlanBellczajkowski: I had noticed ;)13:45
greg-gnigelb: oh yeah, it'll be great13:45
nigelbI know someone who's probably just finished a 3-day bike ride to MV.13:45
AlanBellczajkowski: to be sure you are13:45
greg-gnigelb: got all of our stuff/bed/etc in these things: http://www.upack.com/, Just the essentials in the car (and our bikes)13:45
nigelbgreg-g: Bike + car?13:46
paultagnigelb: so you can stop and go for a bike13:46
paultagsitting in a car for a few days sucks13:46
nigelbah13:47
greg-gnigelb: bikes on the car so we can go for rides when we want, exactly what paultag said :)13:47
paultagit's a damn fine idea if I may say so :)13:47
greg-greally, it only taks a little over 2 days of driving to get there, but we stretching it to 2 weeks, so we'll have things to do/explore13:47
nigelbI've at most done one night of travel on a car/bike13:48
paultagshould be a blast13:48
nigelbMy longer trips have been train, which was awesome13:48
greg-gI drove from Minneapolis to outer LA (for Coachella '07) in 2 days :)13:48
greg-gnigelb: yeah, train would be nice, but not sure we're selling the car yet13:48
paultaggreg-g: and I bet you were snorting instant coffee off the dash13:48
paultagthere's no way I could do that :)13:49
greg-gno comment13:49
paultag:P13:49
nigelbhaha13:49
nigelbyou claim the 5th? :P13:49
greg-gindeed, but not that I did anything wrong13:49
paultagnigelb: you plead the 5th :)13:49
paultagor cite13:49
paultag:)13:49
greg-gmake use of... envoke... whatever ;)13:50
* paultag twitches13:50
nigelbpaultag: right whatever ;)13:50
paultagsed s/envoke/invoke/g13:50
paultagchrist, sorry, that was getting to me13:50
paultagI think I have OCD13:50
greg-glol, sorry13:50
greg-gI think we just kicked everyone else's convo out of the room :(13:51
paultaghahaha, ain't no thang. I have these odd twitches. When I see something misspelled by someone else ( since I suck at spelling ), i compulse and write a sed script to fix it :)13:51
AlanBellthere is an irssi plugin to apply them13:52
paultagAlanBell: o'rly?13:52
paultagwow that was dickish of me13:52
paultagsorry greg-g13:52
AlanBellpaultag: I can't find it now, but a couple of years ago I nearly wrote one and discovered it had already been done13:55
paultagAlanBell: :)13:55
greg-gpaultag: wait, why are you sorry?13:58
paultaggreg-g: for sed'ing you14:00
greg-gpaultag: I don't mind being sed'ed if it fixes a mistake of mine.14:01
paultag:P14:01
paultagnigelb: Oh, did you see -- I got Syn linking and unlinking packages :)14:02
paultagit is fragile, but it "works"14:02
nigelbpaultag: so, eventually you'll have something like debian14:03
paultagnigelb: nah :)14:04
paultagnigelb: this is much more primitive and less robust14:04
nigelb"eventually"!14:05
paultagnigelb: but it's orders faster then dpkg, which is just awesome14:05
paultagnigelb: because you can install things in batches at the same time, and force the HD IO to 100% rather then doing 1, waiting, doing another14:05
paultagit's also computer maintainable, so I won't have to touch packages once they're working unless it fails14:06
paultagwhich is nice :)14:06
paultagnigelb: http://pastebin.com/9ruXNgNa14:07
nigelbpaultag: lol, I know what fbautostart is, but everytime I see it, I go "autostart facebook? what?"14:08
paultagnigelb: :)14:08
paultagnigelb: it was the only simple package I did not have installed that I could synize14:09
paultagin theory I could slowly use Syn to borg a Debian install14:09
paultagI'd have to match glibc versions or i'd be shifting without a clutch14:10
paultagalthough that's not a bad idea...14:10
mhall119paultag: did you see I got a website?14:19
paultagmhall119: yepppers, sure did. Checked it out and all that14:19
mhall119I need to write up some content for it now14:20
paultag:)14:20
paultagmhall119: I'm going to get a site "reedfeeder" and have pictures of people feeding panda bears bamboo14:21
paultagand steal all yers misspells14:21
paultagwith cute panda bears14:22
paultagthey'l never leave14:22
paultagmuhahaha14:22
mhall119paultag: make sure you provide an rss I can subscribe to ;)14:26

AlanBelloh good, make mine a pint15:57
=== cypher is now known as czajkowski
akgranerjono, kim0 I know said you want to drive more traffic but what other information are you wanting to get out - just get people to the site in general and let them take it from there or is there more of a specific message to write about?16:32
kim0akgraner: It should be more about raising the site's visibility (especially outside the typical ubuntu circles), and getting more conversations going on16:33
akgranerkim0, gotcha...16:35
nigelbhaha16:50

jcastrokim0: would it be useful to link the cloud subforum prominently on it?17:05
kim0jcastro: the cloud subforum is not getting a ton of traffic, so not sure how helpful that would be17:06
jcastroah17:07
