[03:16] <MarkDude> So what are the Ubuntu hours near San jose?
[03:16] <MarkDude> The repair guy seemed interested in going
[04:15] <jyo> Dennis Ritchie died this past weekend. Damn.
[04:43] <nhaines> D:
[05:09] <bkerensa> I'm proud to say that 45.93% of my blog traffic (1,924 Linux Users) over the last two weeks is Linux Users
[05:09] <bkerensa> :D
[05:09] <bkerensa> Wonder how many use Ubuntu :P
[05:13] <jbermudes> Does ubuntu set the user agent in the built-in firefox?
[05:31] <bkerensa> jbermudes: Nope
[05:32] <bkerensa> jbermudes: I wish all distros did though
[05:32] <bkerensa> then there would be a better picture of how popular distros are
[06:56] <MarkDude> All right Nixie Pixel just got a show on Revision 3
[06:56] <MarkDude> We need more folks that use word Linux in public
[14:21] <nhaines> bkerensa: Ubuntu used to, but now Mozilla doesn't allow it.
[14:22] <pleia2> happy release everyone :)
[14:33] <grantbow> huh?
[14:35] <grantbow> http://www.ubuntu.com aha!
[14:48] <grantbow> time to update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/OneiricRelease
[14:48] <grantbow> isn't the next name usually announced by now?
[14:49] <grantbow> oops, I missed it. ..  Precise Pangolin
[16:30] <iheartubuntu> Good morning all. Do we have a public calendar that is editable? It would be nice if team members can come in and add events and make changes. i thought there was something out there, but maybe it was static and was not editable.
[16:30] <iheartubuntu> Ive made one here to help myself keep track of events.
[16:30] <iheartubuntu> https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=gngt2gjg8mi044h02b2j3iqpu0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles
[16:30] <iheartubuntu> if you would like to be an admin and add events, please let me know
[16:32] <iheartubuntu> I'll send admin links out to the leaders here at the minimum if we all like this idea.
[16:32] <iheartubuntu> ive been sorta scraping by and catching events when I can to post to to facebook, twitter, etc... but i know ive missed a few
[16:36] <MarkDude> hello iheartubuntu
[16:36] <iheartubuntu> hi markdude
[16:36] <MarkDude> There has to be a script-fu way to do that task
[16:37] <MarkDude> where is akk when she is needed
[16:37] <MarkDude> ? :)
[16:37]  * MarkDude found 2 more usb ethernet devices
[16:38] <MarkDude> Still no lpt
[16:38] <MarkDude> If you want to build a machine for the person- I have some pieces to donate
[16:38] <iheartubuntu> im good thx
[16:38] <MarkDude> Might be a good thing to plan before Xmas
[16:38] <iheartubuntu> i got that guy up and running again
[16:38] <MarkDude> Is it working for them?
[16:38] <MarkDude> Oh, cool.
[16:38] <iheartubuntu> yah his modem was fried
[16:39] <iheartubuntu> he seems happy just using a dial up modem :)
[16:39] <MarkDude> Cool. Let folks be happy- i SAY
[16:39] <iheartubuntu> he is mostly just doing email and some light web browsing
[16:39] <MarkDude> I have all sorts of tomatoes growing now
[16:39] <iheartubuntu> wow really
[16:40]  * MarkDude is hoping for late season with no frost
[16:40] <iheartubuntu>  my tomatoes bombed out this year
[16:40] <iheartubuntu> i have not tended to them at all though
[16:40] <MarkDude> Yep, I have not really done much- some plant food
[16:40] <MarkDude> and automatic watering
[16:40]  * MarkDude forgot about shutting off auot water
[16:40] <MarkDude> auto
[16:40] <iheartubuntu> i have about 2.5 cubic yards of primo soil if u know anyone in LA that might be interested
[16:41] <MarkDude> so my cherry tomatoes split
[16:41] <MarkDude> Hmmmm maybe my cousin
[16:41] <MarkDude> I will be down your way in Jan for Scale
[16:41] <iheartubuntu> my strawberries did great finally... and its becuase i moved them to barrels where opposums didnt bother them
[16:42] <iheartubuntu> i have to make some scale designs... in case i win the grand prize and get a free flight to scale!
[16:42]  * MarkDude just reserved ticket for convention in VA
[16:42] <MarkDude> 4 days later I wil be in SoCal
[16:42] <iheartubuntu> nice
[16:42] <MarkDude> Possums are hella funnt animals
[16:42] <iheartubuntu> are we doing an Ubucon again?
[16:43] <iheartubuntu> i like the possum 'freeze' when they spot you
[16:43] <iheartubuntu> they dont move at all :)
[16:46] <MarkDude> I remeber Nathan saying some stuff about Ubuncon
[16:47]  * MarkDude will be helping the Dark Side of the Force for the convention
[16:47] <MarkDude> ;)
[16:47] <MarkDude> Somehow I became a primary spokesman for the whole Beefy Miracle phenomenon
[16:48]  * MarkDude had a friend question his sanity for that. (Plenty of reasons to do so- just not that.)
[16:51] <iheartubuntu> whats going on in VA?
[17:09] <nhaines> Hmm, having a lot of trouble booting Ubuntu 4.10.  Failsafe mode seems to be getting farther.
[17:14] <nhaines> Now I remember that Ubuntu CDs used to ship with cool stuff for Windows like OpenOffice.org, Firefox and Thunderbird, GIMP, Audacity, Abiword, and so on.
[17:22] <nhaines> ah, taking out the SATA controller fixed the problem.  How strange.
[19:35] <MarkDude> bkerensa, ping
[19:39] <bkerensa> MarkDude: pong pong
[19:41] <MarkDude> Link for your Ubuntu page?
[19:41]  * MarkDude will do that today
[19:41]  * MarkDude is really, really impressed with ALL you have done
[19:41] <MarkDude> I mean it
[19:42]  * MarkDude was hoping for a person that would do a decent job in taking over Oregon Team
[19:42] <MarkDude> You have far exceeded expectations
[20:08] <bkerensa> MarkDude: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/bkerensa
[20:09] <bkerensa> MarkDude: If you remember I didnt even want the gig ;) I still turn down jobs offers almost every month
[20:09] <bkerensa> :P
[20:10] <bkerensa> MarkDude: What is the temp like in CA today? Its freezing here
[20:10] <MarkDude> Still- you are doing a hell of a llot with it
[20:10] <MarkDude> its 80 in SF :)
[20:10] <MarkDude> shorts weather
[20:10] <bkerensa> :(
[20:10]  * bkerensa cries
[20:10] <bkerensa> Its like 50's here
[20:10] <MarkDude> Oregon is already more active than many teams
[20:11]  * MarkDude is assuming he should write 2 paragraphs
[20:12] <MarkDude> one about me looking for a replacement lead
[20:12] <MarkDude> the next about how well you have done>?
[20:12] <MarkDude> Embodying the humanity towards others thing
[20:13] <MarkDude> And how you know stuff- like networking- and tech stuff to
[20:13] <MarkDude> too
[20:23] <bkerensa> idk its up to you
[20:23] <bkerensa> :D
[20:23]  * bkerensa thinks its better for you to shape it how you want
[20:23] <bkerensa> I shouldnt influence your testimonial
[20:24] <MarkDude> Fair enough
[20:24] <MarkDude> So I can do- bow before the new FOSS God....
[20:25] <MarkDude> His name is Ben, learn as you watch
[20:25] <MarkDude> ;)
[20:25] <MarkDude> Even Jono calls him Sir
[20:37] <nhaines> bkerensa: it's 91 down here in Irvine!
[20:46] <bkerensa> =/
[20:48] <nhaines> Now to get the Ubuntu 10.10 default background and I'm done!
[20:49] <nhaines> While I like the current series of wallpapers fine, I have to say we've had some really nice backgrounds and themes.
[20:49] <nhaines> jaunty's tan oranges and chocolate browns were striking.
[20:49] <bkerensa> I wanna figure out how to make the unity bar smaller
[20:49] <bkerensa> it takes up too much of my desktop compared to Natty Classic
[20:49] <bkerensa> :D
[20:50] <nhaines> bkerensa: there's no element called the "unity bar".  :)  The top panel is the Unity Panel and the left launcher is called the Unity Launcher.
[20:51] <nhaines> You can install ccsm and that lets you adjust the launcher.  The panel is always 24px except for accessible themes, I think.
[20:51] <bkerensa> nhaines: I have another name for the Unity Launcher... Same name they called the Twitter Bar that they got rid of
[20:51] <bkerensa> :P
[20:52] <nhaines> bkerensa: there's always GNOME Shell if you hate productivity.  :P
[20:53] <nhaines> You can install gnome-panel to get the GNOME3 fallback interface, too.  I can't stand using it because of the wasted space used by the panel though!
[20:56] <bkerensa> nhaines: Yeah I know gnome-fallback
[20:56] <bkerensa> I alpha tested Oneiric for months
[20:56] <bkerensa> :P
[20:57] <nhaines> bkerensa: it's out now.  :P
[20:57] <bkerensa> yeah I'm going to wait three days to do a clean migration
[20:57] <bkerensa> wait for final bugs to be found ;)
[20:57] <nhaines> bkerensa: I'm going to do one as soon as I can back up my laptop.  :)
[20:57] <kdub> hey, Darkwing, i'm applying for membership in a week, would you fill out a testimonial for me? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KevinDuBois
[20:57] <nhaines> So far it's been so good.
[21:01] <Darkwing> kdub: Aye
[21:01] <kdub> thanks so much
[21:03] <MarkDude> bkerensa, apt-get install kde desktop I think would help with the Unity bar
[21:03] <MarkDude> :D
[21:03] <MarkDude> ask Darkwing - he knows
[21:03] <nhaines> Then you have two problems!
[21:03] <MarkDude> apt get KILL Unity I think comes next
[21:03] <MarkDude> not sure
[21:03] <Darkwing> What?
[21:46] <nhaines> gah.  Who's in charge of the Ubuntu website?
[21:46] <nhaines> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade still refers to maverick.
[21:47] <akgraner> pop in to ubuntu-website
[21:47] <nhaines> akgraner: perfect!  Thanks!  :D
[21:47] <akgraner> I think that is the name of the irc group - if not ask mhall119 or nigelb what it is
[21:47] <akgraner> group=channel
[21:49] <nhaines> akgraner: we'll see.  :)
[21:49] <akgraner> k
[21:49] <akgraner> I just asked mhall119 to make sure  - he's in the fl loco team or in -locoteams
[21:49] <akgraner> but haven't heard back from him yet
[21:50] <nhaines> Ooh!  The Ubuntu 11.10 installer has a very nice aubergine backdrop with a dark rust-colored paw print.
[21:58] <MarkDude> The Halls can be busy. Family as well as other stuff
[21:58] <MarkDude> Like Qimo4kids ;)
[22:36] <nhaines> Hmm, backed up all my stuff on my desktop computer, then promptly forgot to move the backup folder to an external storage drive.  So much for backups!
[22:37] <nhaines> That's okay, I didn't have anything important on there anyway.  \o/ for testing!
