[00:05] paultag, any chance you could add those feeds now? [00:05] just ready for the global jam :-) [00:07] jono: I'll do it by EOD, but I'm a bit swamped atm [00:07] paultag, thanks, pal! [00:07] sure thing [00:15] * jono wraps up the membership survey report [00:15] HEY PAULTAG [00:16] jcastro: HEY GEORGE [00:16] man the AMA ended up being pretty awesome [00:17] jcastro: :) [00:17] mhall119: How smart is the LD planet? [00:18] mhall119: I was just pulling up links in the background, and ubuntu-ca looks to have randal's feed in it - if I add randal's feed, it'll bork, yes? [00:18] not very [00:18] if by "bork" you mean "display duplicates", then maybe [00:18] mhall119: so it'd be sane to reject randal's for reason that it's included indirectly? [00:20] I would think so, yeah [00:20] mhall119: ok, thanks [00:20] "Any plans to make Unity more themeable? That's my biggest gripe with it right now, and I'm sure a lot of users feel the same." [00:20] I mean, I could have it check for duplicate uid, but there's no gurantee that 2 distinct blogs won't use the same uid [00:20] he should just set a wallpaper [00:21] jcastro: can I quote that ;) [00:21] jcastro, hey [00:21] I hear that gripe a lot, but really, I don't *see* unity 95% of the time, wasn't that the whole point of it? [00:21] mhall119: yeah. I'm not so sure that's something we should care about [00:21] jcastro, want to hear something that will make you kill yourself? [00:21] jcastro, http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/09/02/axel-rudi-pell-holy-diver-song/ [00:21] mhall119: well, if you like red corvettes let's say, and you set a red corvette wallpaper, your unity will look .... wait for it ..... red. [00:21] jono: looking [00:22] jcastro: what happens if you put a screenshot of Unity as your wallpaper? [00:22] jono: one of those nu metal bands does a dio cover that makes me want to kill myself [00:22] mhall119: don't do that. space/time continum, etc. [00:22] jono: man dude, this is pretty awesome [00:22] (being serious) [00:22] yeah, I found that out about 2 hours from now [00:23] jono: I envision when I get old, sitting in Vegas with some lounge singer singing this. [00:23] wondering what happened to my life, etc. [00:23] like that Nicholas Cage movie [00:23] jono: guess what I heard on the radio today [00:24] Mercyful Fate! [00:24] it came on and I looked at Jill and was like "wait until you hear this guy's voice." [00:24] then it hit her like a ton of bricks, lol [00:24] hmm, I wonder if they have a best of CD. [00:25] I can see myself getting that, but nothing more than just that. [00:25] jcastro, we can't be friends anymore [00:25] jcastro, it is not a patch on this monstrosity - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c15yM77xkP4 [00:26] ok this one's a bit too much [00:26] a bit? [00:26] I punched a hole in my monitor [00:26] lo [00:26] lol [00:26] oh god [00:26] is that a guitar? [00:26] it sounds like they want to be NIN [00:27] wow, this is horrible [00:27] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpl5mOAXNl4 [00:27] oh yes, found it [00:27] mercyful fate does have a best of [00:29] don't touch! never ever steal! [00:29] unless, you're in for the kill! [00:29] you've been caught, by the curse of the pharoah oh .... [00:29] chugga chugga [00:33] choo choo [00:35] hmm, King Diamond also has a "Best of" Album. [00:35] Come on, really dude. You have like 2 good songs, tops. [00:37] jono: mhall119: feeds done. I just did them over a snack. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoPortalFeeds#preview <- there's a report in the added column in what was done [00:37] All were approved except Randal's, since it's there via CA [00:41] ugh, I hate impulse music buys, I already want to strangle this guy [00:41] jono: you should have interveened [00:41] hmm, at least the rest of the band knows how to jam [00:44] hunh, it works. [00:44] clever [00:44] good, I hate that guy [00:44] >:) [00:49] $ ping dev.darkshed.net -c 1 | grep PING | awk '{print $3}' [00:49] (85.214.125.13) [00:49] $ ping fluxbox.org -c 1 | grep PING | awk '{print $3}' [00:49] (85.214.125.13) [00:49] muhahaha [00:58] thanks paultag [01:00] mhall119: yep [01:01] back to fighting the never-ending battle for better softwar [01:01] e [01:13] jono does Canonical have training aides for teaching Ubuntu. I've been asked to teach a class of 9th graders Ubuntu. I was hoping to find a curriculum that just needs to be updated. If you don't know could you point me in the right direction? Please and thank you! [01:15] akgraner, nope, nothing like that exists afaik [01:15] I've already ordered the official Ubuntu book for all the students, but I know I'm going to need a more formal outline to present to the school... [01:15] akgraner, maybe ask Ubuntu Youth [01:15] would be awesome if you developed such a course [01:16] well I'm going to have to :-) so I'll share it with everyone and let people add to it - if this goes well the whole school may migrate :-) [01:16] akgraner: ask the Edubuntu team too, they might have something [01:17] mhall119, that's true - I'll hunt dinda down too :-) [01:17] jono: akgraner: there was an ubuntu community learning project (UCLP) that had such materials IIRC [01:17] akgraner: might want to ask pleia2 or doctormo about it [01:17] this was before that team exploded [01:19] Thanks y'all I'll explore all these options :-) I only have 4 weeks to come up with this so I'll be hustling :-) b/c of course I said, "No problem, can teach them!" [01:19] akgraner: you can't just tell them to figure it out themselves? [01:19] um not if I want a paycheck from them :-) [01:20] oh, you're getting paid for this? [01:20] nice [01:20] yeppers :-) [01:20] I don't turn down money... [01:20] good career advice [01:21] While I may give it away and share it - I'll take it gladly :-) [01:21] I can just imagine your brain: "You mean there will be a captive audience I can tell about the wonders of Ubuntu *and* I'll get paid to do it?!?!" [01:21] oh heck yeah :-) that's exactly what I thought [01:23] and none of this would have happened if I hadn't broken my knee - my physical therapist started asking me about Ubuntu. Then I gave him the official book and a subscription to Ubuntu User. He went to the PTA and School Officials and pitched the plan to try it with one grade and BAM the rest will hopefully be history... [01:24] See it does pay to talk to everyone who will listen about Ubuntu :-) [02:03] jono, mhall119 paultag et al... I don't know about mhall119, but I would prefer that, since access was given to the LC, that the LC be responsible for adding/checking blogs, (or you jono since you also have access). If there is a problem with adding a blog feel free to ask for assistance.. other than that, I'd personally rather not be responsible for that part. [02:06] cjohnston: keep reading backlog [02:08] I know that mhall119 said that he wanted the loco council to make the decisions.. im mostly saying that I'd rather that the LC make decisions and add, which I don't see, but could have missed him mentioning about adding them as well [02:09] cjohnston: dude, I don't want to keep repeating conversations - I did it, I don't think anyone left with the impression that ya'll are managing it [02:09] cjohnston: I'm busy [02:09] cjohnston: we can chat later, there's no issue [02:09] ok [02:25] akgraner: ubuntu learning is a bit defunct, but only because I don't have volunteers to help write course materials (doctormo has written 5 sysadmin classes that he was teaching up near boston for a while) [02:25] we're still over in #ubuntu-learning though [02:27] pleia2, I have 5 people now wanting to help - one person was a college level teacher for 20 years :-) so I'll share the googledoc link with you and anyone who wants to help is welcome to :-) I'll start on this on Monday as I need to finish a million other things between now and Sunday :-) [02:27] akgraner: awesome, darkwingduck joined recently too so we'll see [02:27] sweet! [02:27] I'm at an airport now so we can touch base tuesday :) [02:28] :-) thank you! [02:28] * pleia2 finally using her fancy lounge pass! [02:28] great! have a great weekend! and don't worry about UWN we'll take care of it...no stress for you this weekend :-P [02:28] thanks :) [03:19] Ok who wants to teach me how to start a project in LP :-) That should be a good Global Jam event -teaching akgraner to use LP for more that filing bugs and joining teams...I think if I ask pgraner their may be a fight :-) I'll see if I can figure it out on Sunday but if I get stuck I'm pinging y'all - consider this your warning :-) [03:19] s/their/there [06:05] morning === daker_ is now known as daker [13:41] aloha [13:50] czajkowski, morning/afternoon :-) [13:51] :) [13:51] hi [13:59] time for me to head to our global jam - check back in with y'all soon :-) [14:37] 35C.... WHY??????? :( [14:45] anyone else running oneiric can you check to see if checkbox/system testing will work for you - I can't get it to run for me using oneiric [14:46] akgraner: where do I run it [14:46] pgraner's filing the bug since he can't get it to run either as I am still packing to take stuff to our global jam venue [14:46] having issues with getting U1 to run [14:46] cant launch gwibber [14:46] czajkowski, go to the dash and type "system testing" [14:47] you should see the icon show up click on it and see if it opens up for you [14:47] Thank you! [14:47] I am set to demo this in about an hour - and it looks like I will have to fall back to Natty [14:48] here's the bug number if you can't get to work for you either - 840376 [14:49] yeah there's a lot of broken stuff in the beta I am finding - I think I likes the alpha better :-/ [14:50] well I gotta run thanks czajkowski for trying it - I have an hour to drive to the venue...more later [14:51] ant get it to run [14:51] *cant [14:52] alt f2 and typing it there causes machine to lock up [14:52] czajkowski, thanks - yep it's borked - can you me to that bug number please... [14:54] which bug number ? [14:54] bug #840376 [14:54] Launchpad bug 840376 in checkbox "System Testing (aka checkbox-gtk) fails to run" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/840376 [15:50] AlanBell: ara blogged about something related to that. [15:50] err [15:50] akgraner: ^ [17:08] akgraner: hey, you jamming? [17:09] akgraner: I need you to do something if you are [17:09] akgraner: and like nowish [17:10] :) [17:11] akgraner: if you're at the NC jam, can you stand up and ask for "John Riselvato". He worked on a few of my projects in the past, and I would love it if you could give him a (over the top) welcome [17:11] akgraner: get him to stand up and wave and all that other humiliating crud [18:47] * AlanBell looks forward to meeting openiduser560 at http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-uk/1257/detail/ [18:49] akgraner: why ? [19:38] * popey waves to everyone [23:56] paultag, sorry - I wasn't looking at IRC during the jam [23:56] :-( [23:58] It all worked out - I just showed everyone how to get to system testing (no one but me and Pete and one other person were running oneiric) and I showed them the mock-ups and gave them the overview and asked them to join the UF LP team and maiing list and send in feedback [23:59] then I just showed everyone what Beta 1 was looking like and highlighted the coolness of the software center :-) it was fun..
