pleia2bkerensa: I am a sysadmin for a company on the east coast and I'm on call this weekend16:54
pleia2so, not far away :(16:54
bkerensapleia2: 0.0 I thought you live in the Bay Area16:55
* bkerensa is confused16:55
pleia2I do, I telecommute16:55
bkerensaOh16:55
pleia2when I moved out here last year I kept my philly job16:55
pleia2telecommuted when I lived there too, just saw my boss more often :)16:56
bkerensaseems like a expensive arrangement for them but thats kinda cool16:56
bkerensa:D16:56
pleia2not expensive at all16:56
bkerensawell don't you have Network Engineers?16:56
bkerensaon-site?16:56
pleia2no, we're a tiny consulting firm, mostly deploy little debian servers around philly doing firewall, mail, web16:58
pleia2and manage them16:58
bkerensaoh cool.... Well philly shouldnt get hit... Atleast I would hope not16:59
pleia2we rarely need to send people on site, and when we do I was only that person for the first couple of years I was there, I play the senior sysadmin now, too valuable to run on site and fix things anyway16:59
pleia2they're calling for 10 inches of rain in philly, it'll be a mess16:59
pleia2all the supermarkets are insane :)16:59
bkerensahmm17:00
bkerensaI wish all the west coast loco's could have a once a year get together17:00
bkerensa:P17:00
pleia2yeah, it's called oscon :)17:01

pleia2\o/17:12
nhainesSo far, I mostly just plan to think about it tomorrow.  ;)17:13
pleia2hehe17:13
nhainesI'd really like to spend some time and put some work into ubucon.org.17:13
nhainesNot that static HTML and CSS isn't fun and all...17:15
bkerensa\o/ You guys need to come visit your friends up in the Beaver State17:16
bkerensa:D17:16
akkIs that OR? A bunch of people did just visit there, for OSCON.17:17
bkerensaYeah OR17:18
bkerensa:D17:18
bkerensaOnly people I saw from loco were from WA17:18
bkerensa:D17:18
nhainesI'm half afraid I'll just be reimplementing LD with ubucon.org...17:19
bkerensaSurely nobody from CA Loco visited the Ubuntu booth at OSCON :o17:19
nhainesOn the other hand, LD is hellbent on being LoCo-only so maybe I can just do it better.17:19
pleia2bkerensa: MarkDude wasn't there?17:20
* bkerensa coughs17:20
bkerensapleia2: Well yes but he was listed as our loco contact :) and is a fedora fanboy :P17:20

DarkwingDuckMarkDude, check this... http://www.sdtechscene.org/ look in Sept 3rd20:41
nhainespleia2: ping20:42
pleia2nhaines: pong20:42
nhainespleia2: I got an email from someone yesterday who wanted to know if the San Francisco meetings every fourth Tuesday of the month at 6pm at the Roastery are still happening.  He wants to drop in for some installation advice.20:42
pleia2nhaines: it's never been the 4th tuesday, it's the 2nd wednesday20:43
pleia2(if it's listed as 4th tuesday anywhere I'd be interested to know so I can fix it)20:44
nhainespleia2: I see.  :)  Next meeting is September 14th?20:44
nhainesWell, it's listed as 4th Tuesday in his email.. so I guess we should take a look, heh.20:44
pleia2nhaines: yep20:44
pleia2on /Hour and /CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours it's 2nd Wednesday20:45
pleia2not sure where else it would be :\20:45
nhainespleia2: I'll ask him.  Sounds like he just wants someone to look over his shoulder as he installs using Wubi.  Is there anything sooner I can point him to?  He's in Berkeley.  Where's the picnic?20:45
* pleia2 should fix /Hour to remove notes about april and may though20:45
* nhaines should fix /Hour to remove mention of "every Thursdays".20:45
pleia2nhaines: picnic is near mountain view so it's far from berkeley, berkeleylug.org meets on sunday, very friendly crowd :)20:46
pleia2http://www.berkeleylug.com/?page_id=6720:46
pleia2we're also having our solano stroll event in berkeley on september 11th, but it would be hard to do installs there20:47
pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/SolanoStroll201120:47
pleia2I want to go to berkeleylug on sunday, but this hurricane may ruin my weekend to the point of making that impossible20:47
nhainespleia2: blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah.20:48
pleia2I wish I could laugh about it :) it's really quite annoying20:49
nhainesI wanted to go hiking but there are supposed to be isolated thundershowers in the San Gabriel Mountains this weekend.20:49
nhainesI'm going anyway though.  If humans don't ignore nature, who will?20:49
pleia2lol20:49
pleia2servers don't fix themselves :(20:49
bkerensapleia2: Does Google still have the nametag make in their visitor lounge?20:52
pleia2bkerensa: I'm not familiar with the visitor lounge20:52
bkerensaoh20:52
pleia2but visitors do still need to sign in and wear a nametag20:52
bkerensaYeah :)20:53
bkerensaAt Intel they just give you a plastic badge with rfid embedded20:53

pleia2(I see a similar one went through)21:31
DarkwingDuckThe one in the queue has the flyer... Can you put that through too?21:32
pleia2not in love with sending attachments via the mailing list21:32
pleia2how big is it?21:32
pleia2ah, 151325 bytes21:33
pleia2150k is ok21:33
pleia2still, we shouldn't make a habit of it, flyers really should be uploaded to the wiki or put into bzr21:34
DarkwingDuckDon't worry about it then. :)21:34
pleia2it's already let through21:35
DarkwingDuckLoco Contacts put it through :P:P21:35
