[00:13] poll started :-) [00:13] everyone should be getting emails within the hour...:-) [00:15] 267 voters authorized :-) [00:16] thanks akgraner! [00:16] .. and voted. [00:17] pleia2, yw! Good Luck to everyone! [00:17] sending email to the mailing list now [00:30] email to list sent - if anyone is a team member (via LP) with no public email address listed in LP and did not receive a Poll invite please contact me so I can send you the invite to vote [00:32] we need to get more candidates for next time around. voting for 4 people for 3 positions always feels like I'm leaving someone out, even though I love all the candidates [00:34] same number of candidates as last year [00:35] I know, I thought the same thing then ;) [00:35] me too [00:36] Ditto. Was hoping more would join after I did :) [00:40] Though, at least we had more than the slots. [00:54] Sigh... email fail. akgraner, would you PM me the poll invite? [00:57] MichelleQ, email sent... [00:58] since the poll is not a public poll but limited to the UW LP team members I have to manually add the email addresses.. [01:11] I've updated my LP acct., too, so it's got a valid address now [01:13] though it appears, for some reason, that I'm not actually on the UW LP team. [01:13] :-/ [01:13] * MichelleQ does something about that [01:16] pleia2: thanks. :-) [01:16] sure [01:18] I swear I did that once upon a time. Oh well. [01:19] yeah, I thought you were on there with the -qimo name [01:19] but it doesn't show such a name in past users [01:19] * pleia2 shrugs [01:20] dunno. Oh well. I'm there now. :-) [01:21] :) [01:22] * MichelleQ takes over world, one committee at a time [01:23] too funny....weren't you there before? As I have your name from the first election [01:24] It seems as though launchpad ate my U-W membership at some point. [01:24] just out of curiosity I checked the list from the first election... [01:25] glad I kept it...:-) though I am not sure why.... Had to remember the pw I assigned to the file...jeez I need to clean up my home folder, but not tonight.... [01:25] I think, perhaps, I should commence drinking. This isn't the strangest thing that's happened to me today. [01:26] akgraner: yeah, don't start cleaning this late at night- it will lead to something like hard drive replacement for giggles. [01:28] hey I just learned I can choose between KVM and VirtualBox in test drive on my new laptop... [01:28] on the old one I could only use VirtualBox... [01:28] yay for new knowledge.... [01:28] yay for choices! [01:30] yeah the other machine couldn't do KVM... - not that I understand why one is better than the other (YET) but I am sure by the end of the week I'll know which I prefer [01:32] I need to start building towers for Christmas... it's going to take me three months to get them all built. [01:32] kvm is faster because it's hardware-based virtualization, but it has a learning curve [01:32] virtualbox is clicky clicky happy easy :) [01:33] (I use them both, admittedly using virtualbox when I need something real quick) [01:33] gotcha [01:33] I think my Dell hardware was just too old to use the KVM option [01:33] yeah [01:34] if your machine is less than 2 years old you have a decent chance of having virtualization, older than that it's unlikely [01:34] but I still prefer actual hardware to install things on....vs VM however my hopes of my own test lab were dashed today :-( [01:35] :( [01:35] not that I thought the kids and Pete would give me their machines willingly.... [01:35] lol [01:35] ROFL [01:37] Though I thought about telling the kids there was a critical update I needed to fix, but they know how to update their own machines so that wouldn't work...but I did think about it [01:37] lol [01:37] bwahahah! [01:37] you've taught them too much! [01:38] Sadly, they're not like cassettes, you can't just rewind them and pretend it never happened :P [01:38] I know...it's a bit bittersweet...:-/ [01:39] I don't suppose they'd believe the Computer Fairies stole them, either, huh? [01:39] sadly no.... [01:40] but I thought about using the "I'm your mother that's why!" But that's only the break glass for emergency use... [01:40] hahaha, I had to break that one out the other day [01:41] b/c they say - "You'll always be our mother" insert eye rolls.... [01:41] I got "Mommy, that's not a good enough reason." [01:42] I have also gotten, "That's not a very good counterpoint, you don't debate well!" [01:43] Your children are my children in five years. This scares me. [01:43] hehe [01:44] Oh the conversations between kids and their parents...we encourage critical thinking and backing up your arguments - it never occurred to me they would use such logic on me...:-/ oops [01:44] I didn't like that answer either... [01:44] I have always been a "explain the logic behind your request and I'm more likely to go along with it, whether I agree or not" I just want to know that there is a reason for it [01:45] No, son, "because I want to!" is not a valid argument. [01:45] I once told my daughter stop running in the house - she was 3 or 4 at the time - she stopped and said "I'm not running I am scampering" I then had to say if you are doing anything other than walking you are wrong... [01:45] lol [01:46] man, kids are such trolls :) [01:46] pretty much [01:46] nods [01:46] they have great teachers :-P [01:46] Absolutely! [01:47] * MichelleQ trolls 'em back [01:47] same here :-) [01:49] gotta run - email or PM me if there is an issue with the voting - laters all [01:49] later akgraner [12:31] out of 268 email address I sent voting keys to - 10 of them could not be delivered. If you feel that your email address listed in LP may be one of the 10 please contact me. Thanks! :-) [12:31] s/address/addresses === JanC_ is now known as JanC [17:14] ubuntu-it-web [17:14] (sorry wrong window)
