bkerensawow16:15
bkerensaI submitted a conf kit request yesterday and I'm pretty sure they just shipped it this morning because I got a e-mail from UPS saying Merchandise Mania shipped something... When I got my Ubuntu shirt from the UK it was from a similar name16:15
nhainesbkerensa: maybe you don't remember ordering one of their stylish new hats!16:18
* nhaines waits impatiently for the oneiric Beta 1 announcement.16:19
bkerensanhaines: ?16:19
* bkerensa is confused16:19
nhainesbkerensa: beta 1 is the first milestone where a development image is produced for more widespread testing.16:19
bkerensaLOL16:20
bkerensanhaines: I know what beta 1 is :P but what is this about a hat?16:20
nhaines:)16:20
nhainesbkerensa: you got a shipment confirmation from Merchandise Mania.16:20
nhainesWhy wouldn't someone want one of these beauties? http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=87816:21
bkerensanhaines: Yes but I did not order any hat..... or anything16:21
bkerensa=o16:21
bkerensathey are nice... I have said so in the paste but idk its to early for this :P16:21
nhainesI wish they're release oneiric shirts already so I could just put in my order now.  :P16:22
nhainess/they're/they'd/16:23
bkerensaI wish they sold stuff in USD so I dont have to convert :)16:25
nhainesbkerensa: they do.  :)16:25
bkerensanhaines: There is no way this is a hat :P it weighs 2.0KGS according to UPS so thats what four pounds?16:39
nhainesbkerensa: you never know!  Everything's pounds over there...16:40
pleia2bkerensa: the "currency to view" dropbox is at the bottom of the page in the shop16:40
pleia2(it used to be more obvious)16:40
bkerensaoh =o thanks so much.... A week ago I was looking at stuff and didnt wanna calculate prices and then shipping to USD16:42
bkerensa:D16:42
* bkerensa wishes they made bigger shirts =(16:42
bkerensaOnly 3X they offer is the hoodie.... My natty shirt is a bit snug :P I had to do a bit of scretching16:43
bkerensapleia2: Have you checked out Glitch yet?16:45
pleia2bkerensa: haven't even heard of it16:46
nhainespleia2: have you checked out Mutter?16:47
pleia2you guys are just telling me random words16:47
nhaineshaha16:48
pleia2:) no16:48
nhainespleia2: it's on my list.  :)16:48
bkerensaglitch.com <--- SF Bay Area developed indy game pretty cool16:51
pleia2bkerensa: ah, not much of an on-computer gamer these days16:52
bkerensa=o oh16:52
bkerensaDnD type? :)16:52
pleia2consoles16:53
bkerensanice!16:53
* bkerensa got a 360 last year and I kind got burnt out I play like 3 hours a day of call of duty blackops =o16:53
bkerensaplus they keep releasing more maps which = more money gone :P16:54
pleia2I did go to D&D Experience back in 2008 but that was sorta my last hurrah as far as tabletop games go (and it was after I hadn't played in like 6 years)16:55
nhainespleia2: I very successfully DMed a game this year (my first time! :D) with some friends and some kids.16:56
nhainesWhat's funny is it was the 9yo who was always doing wacky things and saving the day.  Not quite locked into the computer game "I can only interact with a couple things" box.16:57
nhainesI should probably start that up again because I spent $150 in books and tiles.  :P16:58
* nhaines is eating bluefin sashimi right now.17:16
bkerensa:(17:18
bkerensasushi17:18
nhainesMy boss caught them yesterday!17:19
pleia2nhaines: heh, so easy to spend $150 on those books17:20
akkvery fresh!17:21
nhainespleia2: I wanted to support my local comic book stores but Amazon was so much cheaper that I basically spent what I would've on the core rulebook set and had enough over for three dungeon tile sets and a couple sets of dice.  :P17:22
nhaines(I did source the dice locally though.)17:22
MarkDudeDice are awesome17:23
akkSometimes it's hard to support local stores. We were pretty surprised when a new *lawnmower* was way cheaper on amazon than locally (and free shipping!)17:24
MarkDudeI mean I want a whole case of them17:24
MarkDudeA few people bring theirs to Super Nerd Night17:24
kdub_i now understand why microsoft's products are the way they are... #msvisualstudio17:35
nhaineskdub_: why's that?17:47
DarkwingDucknhaines, SCaLE is in Jan 2012... Did you want to do another Ubucon?17:57
nhainesDarkwingDuck: yes, I've been telling Gareth that since April.  :)18:20
DarkwingDucknhaines, I'll make sure you get in... I volunteered to help this year.18:21
DarkwingDuckWith SCaLE that is.18:21
DarkwingDuckThis is my first bit, working on more graphics now. http://people.ubuntu.com/~david.wonderly/SCaLE10/scale_10x_banner_penguin.png18:22
nhainesDarkwingDuck: Gareth and Ilan pretty much assured me a place in SCaLE10X.  They've been nothing but extraordinary from the time Amber Graner approached us and even throughout last Ubucon on short notice.  :)18:24
pleia2nhaines: I met Ilan!18:24
DarkwingDuckYup, Been talking to and working with Ilan online18:24
nhainespleia2: Ilan is pretty awesome.  :)18:25
pleia2he was at the linux picnic, we went all sysadmin geekout18:25
pleia2I didn't realize who he was until later :)18:25
nhainesHaha.  :)18:25
pleia2(this is normal for me, I never know who I'm talking to)18:25
nhaines(me either, but what's worse is when they all seem to know you!)18:25
pleia2haha, yeah18:26
nhainesI'm actually recognized a lot, which baffles me a little but I guess it's a good thing.  :)18:26
pleia2he asked if I was going to speak at ubucon again18:26
pleia2wait, you know who I am? neato!18:26
nhaineshaha!  :)  They know everyone and I have no idea how.18:27
nhainesI just preordered Artificial Heart from Jonathan Coulton.  And I mean I ordered the $100 superfan package.18:27
nhainesI also got an email with a digital download link with a HUGE album cover image, and then links for the album in 1) lossless AAC, FLAC, 329k MP3, VBR MP3, and Ogg Vorbis.18:28
nhainesOh and a link to md5sums!  :D18:28
pleia2sweet18:29
nhainesI already have all of his music and mostly for free, so superfan pack seemed the right thing to do.18:30
nhainesAlso now he's going to send me a USB flash drive with all his music.18:30
* nhaines continues waiting patiently for Beta 1.18:31
* pleia2 has xubuntu release announcement at the ready18:31
pleia2now? now? how about now?18:31
* pleia2 waits18:31
bkerensanow18:50
MarkDudeCoulton +119:29
bkerensaHmmm 99 cent store is selling Philips 22" flat screen for 99cents in Cali19:37
bkerensadamn19:37
aadityaReally?19:45
DarkwingDuckWhat?19:55
DarkwingDuckYup. http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/40861519:58
aadityaDamn.20:00
aadityawow.20:00
kdub_DarkwingDuck: /me is trying to think of a scale talk topic20:35
nhaineskdub_: SCaLE talk topic for you: global asynchronous kernel locks-friend or foe?20:46
nhainesOneiric Ocelot Beta 1 was just released! \o/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview/Beta121:04
nhainesServer images seem to be missing this time around though...21:20
akkHmm, the release notes mention xubuntu having the onboard keyboard in the menus now, but there's no mention of it for regular ubuntu.22:44
akkNo joy for tablet users yet?22:44
DarkwingDuckI've used kubuntu on a tablet and it has an on-screen keyboard. I'm saving money for an EXOPC tablet22:47
akkI have a meego exopc, and you can't use it with a natty livecd without a keyboard attached. Didn't think to try kubuntu -- didn't know it was good for tablets!22:48
DarkwingDuckThe Plasma netbook worked well on the 3 hybred tablets I've used.22:49
DarkwingDuckI need to get an exopc22:49
akkcool, I'll have to try plasma netbook some time.22:51
nhainesakk: It seems to have received a big shrug again this cycle.23:31
nhainesAlthough there was a bug or two they squashed.23:31
akkdarn23:34
nhainesakk: yeah, disappointing.23:34
