| Darkwing | HAH! | 03:29 |
| Darkwing | I think I may have found a new IRC nick... | 03:29 |
| === Darkwing is now known as |-_-| | ||
| === |-_-| is now known as Darkwing | ||
| Darkwing | Well, nevermind. | 03:30 |
| pleia2 | :P | 03:30 |
| Darkwing | It's taken. | 03:30 |
| pleia2 | thank goodness | 03:31 |
| Darkwing | LOL! | 03:31 |
| Darkwing | Naww, I'll stick to Darkwing. | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | so I am now an expert on cloud (just kidding, but I can probably talk about it without sounding like an idiot now | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | ) | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | can't say the same for talking about Unity, but whatever :) | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | was at dinner tonight with some folks at this networking conference my fiance is attending (it's why we're in philly) and one of them was like "ubuntu? I have a question for you... [why did they make unity, ruining my life rant here]' | 03:33 |
| Faqtotum | Darkwing: bkerensa used to use the nick _-_-_ | 03:33 |
| Darkwing | LOL | 03:33 |
| pleia2 | "because gnome3 was yucky" "ok, why did gnome3 decide to change everything?" "oh, um..." | 03:34 |
| Faqtotum | but he's come a long way since then; oregon is pretty far | 03:34 |
| pleia2 | because it's ..better? | 03:34 |
| * MarkDude was advising for slogans for next release, I suggested Gnome3 it is not nearly as sh*tty as you think :D | 03:42 | |
| MarkDude | Best most positive I could be | 03:43 |
| MarkDude | Went to gnome site- it has just as clean- not much to it feel :P | 03:43 |
| MarkDude | Darkwing, (the nick formally known as Duck) does KDE have slogan like we use both hands - just to be able to flip the bird to both of the window managers? | 03:45 |
| MarkDude | grantbow, I am sure folks in Nairobi will care >> http://beefymiracle.org/ | 03:51 |
| MarkDude | One more link and I will shut up ( I am still doing happy dance) http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda-images.git;a=blob_plain;f=rnotes/f11rh7-3is_intermission.png;h=8307233e663063a80c622aa20e5229069433dc41;hb=1896a3f050553eeb0ff971658e1a88b8893a5920 | 03:53 |
| MarkDude | That is where it all started. The original hotdog | 03:53 |
| bkerensa | Faqtotum: ? | 06:37 |
| bkerensa | Darkwing ? | 06:37 |
| philipballew | would anyone be able to recomend a good book to learn linux server admin type stuff? | 06:58 |
| nhaines | philipballew: what kind fo server? | 07:00 |
| philipballew | nhaines, well im currently running a debian server. | 07:00 |
| philipballew | can I say that is the ubuntu channel? haha | 07:01 |
| nhaines | philipballew: Debian and Ubuntu are platforms, not servers. | 07:01 |
| philipballew | ah, I thought you were asking what i am running on my server. | 07:01 |
| nhaines | No, I'm asking what kind of server would you like to run. | 07:01 |
| philipballew | web server | 07:01 |
| philipballew | probably | 07:02 |
| philipballew | seems the best profitable | 07:02 |
| nhaines | Then you pick a web server (apache, lighthttpd, etc) and learn that. | 07:02 |
| philipballew | alright. Ill look into it. maybe a lamp stack or something | 07:02 |
| nhaines | The OS doesn't have a lot to do with the particulars, except in a few details (config location, etc.) | 07:03 |
| philipballew | alright. is there really big differences between say a R.H. type set up compared to a Debian type? | 07:04 |
| nhaines | As I said, no. | 07:05 |
| Darkwing | bkerensa: What's up? | 07:05 |
| philipballew | ok, that makes sense now that you said that. Ill let you know what I buy sometime. Your a really helpful person nhaines | 07:05 |
| nhaines | philipballew: just focus on each task. That's what you'll really need and it's what you'll find the books on. :) | 07:06 |
| nhaines | Definitely let me know what you find! | 07:06 |
| philipballew | alright. I have amazon prime so im gonna be buying 3 tech books tonight | 07:07 |
| philipballew | python book, networking book, and a lamp book | 07:07 |
| nhaines | Amazon Prime is fun. I'm glad I don't have it. :) | 07:07 |
| philipballew | I get a free year because im a college student | 07:07 |
| philipballew | after that its only 40 a year for me | 07:07 |
| nhaines | Half off! | 07:08 |
| nhaines | I recommend http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Python-Novice-Professional-Second/dp/1590599829/ | 07:08 |
| nhaines | For Python. Magnus Lie Hetland is a very clear writer. | 07:08 |
| philipballew | I.ll buy it! | 07:10 |
| nhaines | I have the first edition, and the second edition (linked) for Kindle. Haven't gone through the second edition but it should be just as good. | 07:11 |
| nhaines | philipballew: you'll get your books on Friday but you can install GvRng from the Ubuntu Software Center in the meantime to get the feel of Python, plus it's fun. | 07:13 |
| MarkDude | http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/live/ Ubuntu UK is LIVE now | 19:34 |
| * MarkDude hears British folks | 19:42 | |

| nhaines | Much like the non-existent release candidate, Canonical also isn't telling me what's happening with the order I placed last week. | 20:40 |
| pleia2 | maybe they want you to be surprised when it shows up | 20:40 |
| nhaines | pleia2: :) | 20:41 |
| philipballew | nhaines, i think im gonna buy that python book you recomended | 20:41 |
| rww | at least we're not stuck at eight days before release now :3 | 20:42 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I don't have a release party to go to, so I don't need the clothing for that, but I did do a split order with some coworkers and they were asking. | 20:42 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: *nod* | 20:42 |
| pleia2 | rww: yeah, I poked them | 20:43 |
| nhaines | philipballew: I wish I had a way to lend you my copy so you could check it out. But you can always look at this by the same author, for a taste. It convinced me to go out and buy his book: http://hetland.org/writing/instant-python.html | 20:43 |
| nhaines | pleia2: luckily, we have customer's complaining about RMA and online store ship times constantly anyway, so they know how things work. | 20:43 |
| nhaines | Someone placed an order at like 8pm Friday night for overnight delivery and was angry when she didn't get the package until the next Tuesday. | 20:44 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: Who is the publisher of the book? | 20:47 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: Apress | 20:47 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: Likely Apress would ship a free copy if it's for a LoCo | 20:47 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: I think it's just for him though. But that does give me an idea! | 20:48 |
| * philipballew is just looking for a light read | 20:48 | |
| * nhaines 's idea is to shake down publishers for Ubucon prizes. | 20:48 | |
| bkerensa | nhaines: You should come up to Portland for OSCON and help me setup a Ubuntu After Party | 20:49 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:49 |
| * bkerensa is trying to get a boat | 20:49 | |
| nhaines | lol | 20:49 |
| pleia2 | boo, I forgot my presentation remote | 20:50 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: ;) There is a boat on the waterfront downtown for events so I'm trying to find out how much to rent it for a few hours and sort out getting someone to pay for that, drinks and catering | 20:50 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:50 |
| nhaines | pleia2: just use a Wii controller and Bluetooth! :D | 20:50 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: I'm in a hotel in philadelphia, I don't haz! | 20:50 |
| nhaines | pleia2: D: | 20:50 |
| nhaines | pleia2: if it were November you could pick up the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword collector's bundle and use the limited edition golden remote! | 20:51 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 20:51 |
| bkerensa | lol | 20:51 |
| nhaines | That makes it a business writeoff right? | 20:51 |
| pleia2 | if I were paid or did this for a job, sure :) | 20:52 |
| pleia2 | alas! | 20:52 |
| nhaines | details! | 20:52 |
| bkerensa | Fedex is here | 20:55 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:55 |
| bkerensa | YAY | 20:55 |
| gua | woo | 20:57 |
| bkerensa | Yay Kingston sent me a 32GB DataTraveler Locker+ | 20:57 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:57 |
| * nhaines needs more free stuff. | 20:58 | |
| * pleia2 gives nhaines free hugs | 20:58 | |
| nhaines | \o/ | 20:58 |
| pleia2 | ok, off to start wandering toward the suburbs for my first 11.10 talk | 20:59 |
| nhaines | Good luck! You'll do great! :) | 20:59 |
| nhaines | Also publish your slides for others to steal! ;) | 20:59 |
| gua | what's the name of that python book talked about above? | 20:59 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: always! | 20:59 |
| * pleia2 heads out | 20:59 | |
| philipballew | http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Python-Professional-Magnus-Hetland/dp/1590599829/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318365856&sr=1-1 | 21:00 |
| nhaines | gua: Beginning Python by Magnus Lie Hetland. ISBN: 978-1590599822 http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Python-Novice-Professional-Second/dp/1590599829/ | 21:00 |
| gua | ahh thanks | 21:00 |
| gua | nhaines: is it for people new to programming or new to python? | 21:00 |
| nhaines | gua: both! :D | 21:00 |
| gua | aha | 21:01 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: If you are ever in Portland I have lots of free stuff I often dont want | 21:01 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: I usually give it to friends | 21:01 |
| bkerensa | :P | 21:01 |
| * bkerensa gave a android tablet away a few weeks back | 21:01 | |
| nhaines | bkerensa: I'm pretty much never in Portland. :P | 21:01 |
| nhaines | Aww, I could've used an Android tablet though. | 21:02 |
| nhaines | Let the sponsors note! :P | 21:02 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: if you get a free Amazon Kindle Fire let me know. :P | 21:02 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: It wont happen... Amazon and Apple have horrible PR along with Google and MS | 21:02 |
| bkerensa | :P | 21:02 |
| bkerensa | they wont send me so much as a pen | 21:02 |
| bkerensa | :P | 21:02 |
| MarkDude | Maybe try the cowboy | 21:03 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: tell them the first step towards better PR is baby steps and also Kindles. | 21:03 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: :P | 21:03 |
| MarkDude | bkerensa, I think Garret still works there | 21:03 |
| nhaines | Also I doubt Apple needs the PR and I'm sure MS loves sending free software to FOSS advocates! | 21:03 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: The problem is they do most of their PR internally.... While other companies I work with have PR firms who love to spoil me | 21:04 |
| bkerensa | :D | 21:04 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: haha, that could be it! | 21:04 |
| nhaines | I know that Microsoft can shower people with software when they want. | 21:04 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: Yeah at a CTL party Microsoft offered me free boxed MS Office, Shirts and other stuffs | 21:04 |
| bkerensa | and I declined | 21:05 |
| bkerensa | :D | 21:05 |
| bkerensa | showed them my Ubuntu lanyard | 21:05 |
| bkerensa | one rep was like what is that and the other muttered "Open source" | 21:05 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: You know MS can hook up decent drinks though :) remember the CLS after party that Intel and MS sponsored | 21:06 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: hahaha | 21:06 |
| MarkDude | Their $ does work well for drinks and food | 21:06 |
| gua | should've looked confused asked if MS Office was some knockoff of LibreOffice | 21:08 |
| nhaines | Ask them if they fixed ODF support yet. | 21:09 |
| MarkDude | http://fearthecowboy.com/ | 21:09 |
| MarkDude | Open Source and MS :D | 21:10 |
| gua | i've been out of the loop for a little big, was the release of Oneiric pushed back? | 21:11 |
| gua | i thought they were going for the 10th | 21:11 |
| nhaines | gua: no, it's been the 13th since... well, before natty launched. :) | 21:11 |
| nhaines | Ubuntu always releases on Thursdays. | 21:11 |
| gua | ah oh ok. i guess i never looked up the date but assumed | 21:11 |
| nhaines | At least for the last 14 releases. :) | 21:12 |
| gua | can't break the tradition :) | 21:12 |
| nhaines | 10.10 was a big deal, and in fact, the only exception (so for the last 13 releases). | 21:12 |
| nhaines | But they did that for marketing (read: to be silly). | 21:12 |
| nhaines | On the bright side, now we get releases in the middle of the month instead of at the end! | 21:13 |
| gua | ah yeahh. i just remember people weren't so happy since some things were kinda broken | 21:13 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: You know your going to make out like a bandit next year at OSCON? I will be saving some goodies for your arrival :D | 21:13 |
| nhaines | gua: That's the last 14 releases too. :) | 21:13 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Oh and next year Ubuntu Oregon might have one of those XO laptops at our booth | 21:13 |
| gua | nhaines: hah, well some more than others | 21:13 |
| gua | heh that's kind of nice. actually releasing inside of month 04 and 10, instead of really close to the end and technically being within the month | 21:14 |
| nhaines | The "Breaky Brokehog" release was not the finiest. | 21:14 |
| nhaines | s/finiest/finest/ | 21:14 |
| gua | still not sure what sabfdl was thinking with that name | 21:14 |
| MarkDude | You get great donations bkerensa | 21:14 |
| MarkDude | You need to do a session for the next Open Week | 21:14 |
| MarkDude | Share your knowledge | 21:15 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: I dont have time :P | 21:15 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: I'm epic behind right now | 21:15 |
| nhaines | Yeah, that one hour of talking takes a good five hours of preparation. | 21:15 |
| nhaines | (or at least beer) | 21:15 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 21:15 |
| MarkDude | This suit will be at OSCON next year bkerensa http://mairin.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/sxsw-expo-day-2/ | 21:19 |
| MarkDude | You can plan a few pics with it | 21:19 |
| MarkDude | Maybe see if you can get a beer donation- and make another Maddog special brew | 21:22 |
| MarkDude | Beer and Jon are great promotional tools for folks in PNW | 21:23 |
| MarkDude | Did you see the last one made for him? | 21:23 |
| MarkDude | Brother Maddogs Belgium beer or sumthin | 21:24 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: I guess we better bring our A-Game at OSCON | 21:24 |
| bkerensa | :D | 21:24 |
| MarkDude | Well you will | 21:25 |
| * MarkDude still thinks there is room for TWO Ubuntu booths | 21:25 | |
| MarkDude | Oregon as a host | 21:25 |
| MarkDude | and a Local Team in general booth, with info for joining wordwide, etc | 21:25 |
| MarkDude | O'Reilly has given ok for such a thing already, the past 2 years | 21:26 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: You mean a Canonical booth? :P | 21:35 |
| MarkDude | Well Canonical does not generally have specifics on joining local teams | 21:36 |
| MarkDude | the whole Aubergine and Orange banner deal | 21:37 |
