| pleia2 | "Free shuttles run 10AM-7PM from the North Berkeley BART" | 01:36 |
| pleia2 | oh, nice :) | 01:36 |
| pleia2 | 10AM isn't really early enough to set up the booth, but maybe MJ can drop me off | 01:36 |
| jyo | Oh yeah, I should figure out my transportation as well. :) | 04:27 |
| jyo | Okay so the whole thing is 26 blocks? Where exactly are we? | 04:33 |
| pleia2 | 1223 Solano Ave | 04:37 |
| philipballew | oh hey seidos | 15:15 |
| philipballew | Powers back! | 16:10 |
| akk | Interesting, the Almaden IBM PC club (normally totally Windows-oriented -- I'm on their list because I spoke there once about GIMP) has a speaker on Ubuntu this month. DeForrest Home is the speaker. | 16:16 |
| nhaines_ | akk: oh, that's cool. | 16:51 |
| === nhaines_ is now known as nhaines | ||
| nhaines | pleia2: how's email going today? :) | 18:04 |
| grantbow | akk: good catch | 18:48 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: I hate spam | 18:55 |
| nhaines | pleia2: what about spam, spam, eggs, and spam? That's not got much spam in it. | 18:58 |
| pleia2 | I don't eat pork | 18:58 |
| pleia2 | :) | 18:58 |
| nhaines | pleia2: if only bacon weren't so delicious! | 18:59 |
| pleia2 | pepperoni is my weakness | 18:59 |
| rww | I don't like either of those things! | 18:59 |
| nhaines | rww: but you're weird! | 19:00 |
| akk | I like bacon okay, but don't really get why people seem to like it so much more than anything else. | 19:01 |
| nhaines | I ate a chocolate bar once that was fortified with bacon. | 19:02 |
| akk | bacon's usually way too fatty | 19:02 |
| nhaines | akk: I'm telling jono on you! | 19:23 |
| grantbow | bacon fatty? lol | 19:25 |
| grantbow | "So, how's everyone doing today?" | 19:25 |
| pleia2 | grantbow: have you seen any zebras yet!? | 19:27 |
| pleia2 | :) | 19:27 |
| pleia2 | I saw an ocelot in phoenix! (it may have been in a zoo) | 19:27 |
| grantbow | yes, first thing I saw was a zebra near the airport but it was dark | 19:27 |
| grantbow | they were just wandering across the road | 19:27 |
| pleia2 | yay! | 19:27 |
| grantbow | pictures next time | 19:28 |
| pleia2 | :) | 19:28 |
| grantbow | finished second day here. I slept most of it. | 19:28 |
| grantbow | preparations there are for Solano Stroll? | 19:28 |
| pleia2 | I think we're all set for the stroll | 19:29 |
| grantbow | good to hear | 19:29 |
| akk | Wow, wild zebras? Too cool! | 19:32 |
| * grantbow nods | 19:32 | |
| jledbetter | awesome grantbow:) | 19:34 |
| grantbow | thanks jledbetter | 19:34 |
| DarkwingDuck | Hey grantbow | 19:47 |

| raevol | i am so bored | 20:49 |
| philipballew | hey! pleia2 your a mamber of the ubuntu beginners. how did you do that? | 21:35 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: a long, long time ago they had a process where you apply at team meetings | 21:35 |
| rww | yeah, you're not a beginner, get out of there | 21:35 |
| philipballew | I was told a few weeks ago I should try to by someone | 21:35 |
| pleia2 | it's all sort of fallen apart though | 21:35 |
| philipballew | rww, what am i? what would you say i should do. find another place to volunteer? pleia2 | 21:38 |
| rww | philipballew: I was talking to pleia2 :P | 21:38 |
| philipballew | i have been looking for a good place to help out lately? | 21:38 |
| rww | (and joking) | 21:39 |
| philipballew | thats what i figured! :) | 21:39 |
| rww | I've barely stepped foot in #ubuntu-beginners, so... :| | 21:39 |
| pleia2 | rww: haha, we *help* beginners :) | 21:39 |
| philipballew | rww, i feel like a begginner on here a lot. but in "real life" i am actually pretty good compared to most | 21:40 |
| rww | the more I use Ubuntu, the more I realize everyone's a beginner at way over half of Ubuntu. | 21:40 |
| * bkerensa saw a #ubuntu-beginners meeting once and it wasnt pretty | 21:41 | |
| bkerensa | :D | 21:41 |
| rww | just different subsets, so people seem smart to each other :) | 21:41 |
| philipballew | i help people on there. usually at like 1 too 5 am | 21:41 |
| philipballew | when most people are being smart and sleeping | 21:41 |
| rww | I mainly have #ubuntu ops because I'm online when people are asleep :) | 21:42 |
| * philipballew didnt sleep last night as roaming a city with no power is more fun | 21:42 | |
| rww | I was in a study room until 3am and then slumped back to my dorm room | 21:42 |
| philipballew | I have no school today. all classed canceled accross all of san diego!!! | 21:43 |
| * philipballew partyin partyin yeah! | 21:43 | |
| philipballew | your area has been nice though lately i hear | 21:44 |
| raevol | pleia2: i heard you were an xubuntu user? | 22:15 |
| rww | I'm on Unity right now. I feel so mainstream :< | 22:17 |
| raevol | hahaha | 22:18 |
| raevol | how is it? | 22:18 |
| rww | fine, if I don't plug a second monitor in. if I do, compiz gets unhappy. | 22:18 |
| raevol | ick | 22:18 |
| rww | can't be bothered filing a bug about it, going to see if oneiric fixes it in a few months | 22:18 |
| raevol | i've been meaning to try it, but haven't mustered the motivation | 22:18 |
| raevol | i'm super excited for lightdm | 22:22 |
| rww | Why? It's like gdm except with less features :P | 22:25 |
| nhaines | rww: they have lots of nice Unity enhancements in oneiric. | 22:26 |
| rww | nhaines: yeah, I'm figuring between that and Xorg updates... | 22:26 |
| nhaines | rww: in fact, natty-updates include some Unity fixes for multimonitor setups. | 22:27 |
| nhaines | I ran dual monitors for my Ubuntu Community Week presentation. Was suboptimal. :) | 22:27 |
| raevol | i dunno i just am excited for lightdm :P i miss back when i used slim on debian | 22:28 |
| rww | nhaines: If I had to guess, I'd say it's a compiz <-> Xorg graphics glitch, rather than specifically a Unity UI bug | 22:28 |
| raevol | down with compiz :P | 22:28 |
| nhaines | raevol: lightdm is great except they had to load GTK drivers, reimplement accessibility and localization stuffs. | 22:29 |
| nhaines | When they're finished, they'll just have gdm again. | 22:29 |
| nhaines | But minus all of the lessons learned writing gdm. | 22:29 |
| pleia2 | raevol: yep, xubuntu | 22:30 |
| raevol | me too, xubuntu | 22:30 |
| raevol | nhaines: hmm i see | 22:30 |
| rww | nhaines: exactly | 22:31 |
| akk | I wondered about that ... how it was lighter weight if it had a similar feature set. | 22:32 |
| nhaines | At least unity-greeter on lightdm is pretty. Except the input fields are sort of wonky. | 22:32 |
| akk | If you're worried about gdm being too heavyweight, why use a dm at all? | 22:33 |
| nhaines | No insertion point (cursor) and your password just disappears when you hit enter. | 22:33 |
| nhaines | akk: because 'startx' is scary. :) | 22:33 |
| rww | and why not refactor the problematic parts of gdm instead of starting from scratch? | 22:33 |
| nhaines | rww: because of reasons. | 22:33 |
| akk | Because it's way more fun to start from scratch than to try to figure out someone else's ugly broken code? | 22:36 |
| rww | true | 22:36 |
| nhaines | akk: that might be it. :) | 22:36 |
| jyo | pleia2: Burned 60+ CDs for Sunday. | 22:49 |
| pleia2 | jyo: yay! thank you | 22:49 |
| jyo | Now I need to print and fold 60+ cases. :) | 22:49 |
| pleia2 | jyo: actually I have a bunch | 22:50 |
| pleia2 | and I need to use them soon because they go obsolete soon | 22:50 |
| pleia2 | so if you just want to bring the CDs I think we'll be good | 22:50 |
| pleia2 | we can fold while we're there at the booth :) | 22:50 |
| grantbow | pleia2 I burned a bunch of CDs for Sunday as well. They are in a box getting delivered to Ian Lynn today. | 23:20 |
| pleia2 | grantbow: cool, thanks :) | 23:20 |
| bkerensa | =o | 23:25 |
| bkerensa | Somehow it seems cheaper to go to a CD printer and have them make labels and burn cds with Ubuntu then to buy from the Canonical store | 23:26 |
| bkerensa | =o | 23:26 |
| pleia2 | cheaper still to have volunteers from the loco burn a bunch and use sleeves we designed: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-california/+junk/2010branding-sleeves | 23:27 |
| nhaines | CD fabrication requires an economy of scale that doesn't economically exist for us. :) | 23:28 |
| * pleia2 nods | 23:28 | |
| pleia2 | the pennsylvania loco had a team member with a huge burning machine that would burn like 100 cds at a time, but he didn't buy it for the loco, it was a work thing I think :) | 23:28 |
| grantbow | the quick cycles are why suse pulled their box sets from shelves years back | 23:29 |
| grantbow | Ernie wanted to build a burn machine for the loco. I would too. | 23:30 |
| nhaines | pleia2: you're right, I don't trust that philipballew either. | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | hahaha | 23:39 |
| philipballew | philipballew, is a real loser :) | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | philipballew is my BFF this week because he blogged about the san diego jam | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | (hehe, "BFF this week") | 23:41 |
| philipballew | you used it or something :) | 23:42 |
| nhaines | hehe | 23:42 |
| * philipballew is always out of the loop :) | 23:43 | |
| nhaines | philipballew: the joke is that (you can check the logs) no one was talking about you at all before you got here. :) | 23:44 |
| nhaines | (in fact, we were talking about making Ubuntu CDs economically.) | 23:45 |
| pleia2 | I am still excited about grantbow seeing zebras | 23:45 |
| pleia2 | I'm telling everyone | 23:45 |
| * philipballew left his 100 pack of cd's at scale I hope they went to good use. I saw a zebra at the zoo here once. very nice | 23:46 | |
| pleia2 | philipballew: the ones that weren't given away at scale were given away at the noisebridge hackerspace, presumably all went to good use :) | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | at least I didn't see any ISO castles | 23:46 |
| philipballew | excellent :) i have 2 in my dorm room. what does iso stand for? | 23:47 |
| philipballew | I had a job interview for a network maintainer for the school and they kept asking my computer acronyms like iso. that was one i did not know | 23:47 |
| pleia2 | I suppose the proper term would be CDs | 23:47 |
| rww | ISO refers to the fact that proper .iso files are ISO-9660 file systems | 23:48 |
| rww | International Standards Organization | 23:48 |
| nhaines | ISO is a CD image, it refers to the fact that CDs use ISO-9660 as their file system. | 23:48 |
| nhaines | rww: get out of my head! | 23:48 |
| * philipballew was the only person when asked to name computer parts named raid cards. and even know what raid does | 23:48 | |
| rww | well, International Organization for Standardization | 23:48 |
| philipballew | there is a organization for everything. | 23:49 |
| philipballew | there is even a organization that determines wifi standards as well | 23:49 |
| rww | someone's got to | 23:50 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: http://i.imgur.com/DLFRX.png <-- Our banner (proof) | 23:50 |
| bkerensa | =o | 23:50 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: nice :) | 23:50 |
| philipballew | i'll take the job. i will mandate all essid's be called phil | 23:50 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: Ubuntu font? :) | 23:50 |
| philipballew | "did you connect to phil yet? " "hold on a sec" | 23:51 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: Unfortunately Staples Banner Designer software does not offer that | 23:51 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:51 |
| bkerensa | thats just a mock up | 23:51 |
| * bkerensa is gonna use Ubuntu font when he does it in gimp | 23:52 | |
| nhaines | bkerensa: another good reason to use PDF. ;) | 23:52 |
| philipballew | a local place would do it | 23:52 |
| nhaines | Noo! Inkscape! | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: Nooo | 23:52 |
| pleia2 | yeah you want inkscape so you can do vector | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | Inkscape annoys me :P | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 23:52 |
| nhaines | It is your destiny. | 23:52 |
| * nhaines breathes. | 23:52 | |
| bkerensa | I cant do Inkscape | 23:52 |
| pleia2 | ours was sent to the printer as a massive pdf exported from svg | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | any volunteers? | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:52 |
| bkerensa | everyone in our loco is coders :D | 23:52 |
| philipballew | do it all in blender bkerensa | 23:52 |
| nhaines | needs more lens flare. | 23:53 |
| pleia2 | if I can do inkscape anyone can | 23:53 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: hahaha | 23:53 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: This is totally not sexist but Women generally are more artistic then men | 23:53 |
| bkerensa | :) | 23:53 |
| bkerensa | that or I just lack the ability | 23:54 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:54 |
| philipballew | all the women in my woodshop class's in hs kept putting out better things then me. | 23:54 |
| bkerensa | see! | 23:54 |
| bkerensa | my wooden bowl I made in woodshop was horrid | 23:54 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:54 |
| philipballew | the ceramic tux penguin made in ceramics in hs though AWESOME!!!! | 23:55 |
| bkerensa | I guess the issue I have with Inkscape is selecting layers | 23:55 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 23:55 |
| bkerensa | Not as easy as Gimp | 23:55 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: haha, I like pink but I do NOT fulfill that stereotype | 23:55 |
| * pleia2 useless at art, can't even match clothes | 23:55 | |
| bkerensa | ah jeez getting paged | 23:56 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: good news then because Inkscape doesn't have layers! :D | 23:56 |
| * philipballew wore a pink shirt yesterday | 23:56 | |
| bkerensa | nhaines: Ok elements or whatever? How do I select between a text element and a shape/image etc? | 23:57 |
| pleia2 | click on it | 23:57 |
| nhaines | ^^ this | 23:58 |
| philipballew | just make it all in mircosoft publisher bkerensa :) | 23:58 |
| pleia2 | now I'm really going to talk about philipballew behind his back | 23:59 |
| pleia2 | (does publisher even exist anymore?) | 23:59 |
| philipballew | i was criticized last week for not knowing active directory. or .net | 23:59 |
