[01:33] androidbruce: I woke up the same way a couple of days ago [01:33] neti pot to the rescue [01:33] if you do it soon enough [01:33] I do not have time to get sick! [01:34] * valorie passes out the vitamin C [02:16] valorie: I hope to apply for Membership next month (if timing works out) [02:16] Just sent out a e-mail to a bunch of Ubuntu types seeking more testimonials [02:16] :D [02:17] did I already write on your page? [02:17] if not, I will [02:17] maybe I can make it down for your release party [02:17] can't make plans atm, too much happening all at once..... [02:20] valorie: Yeah you got me :D [02:20] valorie: I know that feeling... Been kinda burned out myself lately and still so much to do [02:20] :P [02:21] {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} [02:21] cut out some things you don't like [02:21] hand them to someone who DOES like them [02:21] burnout is nothing to joke about [02:22] valorie: I carry the entire load for our loco [02:22] :( [02:22] Events, Website, Meetings, Wiki etc [02:22] =/ [02:22] then my contributions to other teams [02:23] and IRL stuff [02:23] that isn't good for your team [02:23] they need stuff to do [02:23] so start delegating, man! [02:24] I'm going to go get my flu shot [02:24] want it before getting on an airplane...... [02:25] valorie: ttyl :D [04:56] * valorie comes back from the store laden with party goodies [19:39] release party tonight? [19:39] * thefinn93 is excited [19:39] I'll be there, ~10 minutes late. 2hr bus ride [19:40] :D [19:40] valorie: please take pics :D [20:29] Crap! I forgot! [20:29] won't be able to get there :,( [20:30] * seattlegaucho will have to think of something [20:33] seattlegaucho: :( [21:06] *I* plan on having a good time, even if I'm by myself [21:06] :-) [21:26] valorie: Finn is coming... I insisted he go [21:26] :P [22:03] If I haven't been abused by my co-workers the rest of the day ... I'll go [22:03] it'll give me a good excuse to ride the light rail back and forth [22:04] ... anb BTW, we're desperately looking for an experienced MySQL DBA in Seattle ... pls pass the word along to your network [22:10] seattlegaucho: your folks should send an email to the Linuxchix job-posting [22:10] list [22:11] http://www.linuxchix.org/jobposts-list-guidelines.html [22:11] they don't have to sub -- just follow the guidelines and send the email [22:11] or you can do it [22:12] I'm one of the admins [22:13] and yay for Finn! [22:13] I can give him a ride home after, if he needs/wants it [22:24] valorie: thx for the URL ... I asked our recruiter to post the job there [22:27] awesome! [22:28] I think the economy is picking up a bit -- there have been some actual job postings lately [22:37] I never ever saw a slow down reg mysql dbas [22:38] I could never do a mysql dbas job [22:38] valorie: If I go tonight ... can you give me a ride back to the light rail by the airport? [22:38] to focused one such simple stuff [22:38] :D [22:38] bkerensa: then you don't have the skills we look for :p [22:38] never understood why companies hired Mysql dbas versus a full sysadmin [22:39] Oh my ... I might need to go tonight to the party after all [22:39] seattlegaucho: ;) I could do circles around any mysql scenario... I just don't want a 9 to 5 ;) I turn down freelance projects every single month :P [22:41] Someone just last week offered to pay me $100 to install Open EMR which takes like 10 mins tops :P and I passed on it [22:41] ;) [22:41] for our number of servers, any sysadmin would spend all their time doing mysql chores and r&d ... so they wouldn't be a sys admin anymore [22:42] ... and then you factor in high availability, backups and monitoring ... and a DBAs job is never done [22:42] ... which goes beyond simple replication and linux ha [22:43] seattlegaucho: Why not automate the mysql work flow with puppet or another solution? [22:43] never mind performance enhancements (80% of the time beyond a sysadmins skill set), db design, sharding, etc [22:44] bkerensa: we use puppet and a number of other skills ... but there's way more to it that puppet can't handle [22:44] s/skills/tools/ [22:44] seattlegaucho: You guys use Workbench too I imagine? [22:44] nope ... it's too immature [22:45] bkerensa: for full disclosure I should mention that I used to work @ MySQL since we were < 50 people through the Sun acquisition ;) [22:46] seattleguacho: Yeah and Oracle uses Workbench in-house atleast thats what the MySQL/Oracle Community Manager told me [22:46] :P [22:46] yeah right ... I know them all by name and the only reason they do is because they tip-toe around the bugs [22:47] you have to define all the connections parameters by hand ... ssh & mysql ... try that w/ 200+ servers [22:47] definitely -- I'm taking off in a few so I can get the room set up and such [22:47] bash is your friend in those cases [22:47] my phone # is 253-740-2725 if you need to text [22:47] Oh it's tonight? I forgot, I don't hve anything ready x.x [22:48] "apt-get dist-upgrade" is not possible yet ... my upgrade will have wait [22:49] MJEvans: I'm not going to burn anymore CD/DVDs -- just thumbdrives [22:49] I have ones from a couple of days ago though [22:49] valorie: Yeah I'm looking into finding some 2gb flash drives then reaching out to one of our loco's sponsors to get some made/bought/shipped [22:49] The launch party also isn't dinner this time... [22:50] Going forward each member will get a USB and we can just throw the new image one [22:50] Which is less incentive for me to go [22:50] but Kingston also gave me a 64GB dual band wifi storage thingy that I store ISO's on and then members can connect wirelessly and download whatever they need [22:51] well, we can order in pizza [22:51] and I'm bringing bread, cheese, drinks, veggies [22:51] Michael, it's close to you! [22:51] you can burn CDs at the party if you want [22:52] that's awesome, bkerensa [22:52] * valorie has all the Kub. ISOs [22:52] :( [22:52] valorie: bad news [22:52] thefinn93 got stuck [22:53] :( [22:53] his bus pass failed apparently he is coming on irc [22:53] boo [22:53] valorie: could I get one (or 2) of your ISO onto one of my USBs? [22:53] with multiboot that works [22:53] I might want to do the upgrade using the alternate CD [22:53] or just straight-ahead copying [22:53] I've been zsyncing for a couple of weeks for testing [22:54] zsyncing? [22:54] anyway, need to shut down the machines and pack 'em up [22:54] see you at the party I hope [22:54] with bells on! [22:54] duurp [22:54] * seattlegaucho hopes someone will give him a ride to the light rail [22:54] I fail at bus pass [22:54] yes, zsync just downloads the changes daily [22:55] I will give anyone a ride who needs it [22:55] bye for now [23:05] valorie, will you give me a ride from Bothell? [23:06] thefinn93: asked too late and I think valorie lives out south of auburn [23:06] darn [23:06] my silly bus pass didn't work [23:06] i'm confused how these UW passes work [23:12] I have no clue [23:15] bus drivers HAVE to let you ride [23:15] even with no money [23:15] now I'm really off...... [23:15] thefinn93: there you go then... [23:16] http://www.washington.edu/facilities/transportation/commuterservices/u-pass [23:16] yeah [23:16] i've figured it out [23:16] but it takes 24 hrs to activate [23:17] i thoguht it was activated [23:17] oh well [23:17] valorie might pick me up [23:17] i've been texting her [23:18] thefinn93: has it been 60 days since you obtained it? [23:18] tapping the orca reader didn't help? [23:20] yeah i think I just didn't pay [23:20] and i thought i did [23:20] i tapped it on the reader thing [23:20] and it said insufficient funds [23:20] crazy [23:20] eh [23:20] these crazy machine [23:20] i don't understand computers [23:28] thefinn93: They have to let u ride with no money? [23:28] wow [23:28] so i've heard [23:28] but i don't wanna fuck it up [23:29] i'll just pay it and come to the next one [23:30] ? [23:31] next year? [23:31] lol [23:31] i guess [23:31] idk [23:31] lol [23:31] TIL about /r/pwned [23:37] thefinn93: No ride today? [23:56] thefinn93: you just need to show it with the sticker for the quarther [23:56] *quarter
