[00:30] <Cheesehead> h00k: Say, don't we have the monthly meeting TOMORROW NIGHT AT 9 PM?
[02:23] <h00k> indeed!
[02:27] <h00k> It's snowing here.
[02:27] <h00k> Cheesehead: yeah, tomorrow!
[02:27] <h00k> I'm sending out a reminder in a bit.
[13:04] <h00k> so
[13:04] <h00k> LoCo Monthly meeting tonight
[13:05] <h00k> agenda: Becoming an official LoCo
[13:11] <h00k> uh
[13:11] <h00k> meet-and-greet
[13:17] <h00k> cool, I have 4 things.
[13:17] <h00k> http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-wisconsin/250/detail/
[13:24] <h00k> 5
[13:26] <h00k> there we go.
[13:26] <h00k> Hi, bigbash
[13:26] <bigbash> Hi!
[13:26] <bigbash> I didn't realize my virtual server was offline until now
[13:27] <bigbash> Nice I can actually make the meeting tonight h00k
[13:32] <h00k> sweet.
[13:32] <h00k> because it's at 9?
[13:33] <h00k> bigbash: ^
[13:34] <bigbash> yea that and v-ball is early today
[13:54] <bigbash> h00k, you guys use VMWare, right?
[13:54] <h00k> bigbash: yes
[13:55] <bigbash> Any recommendations for learning vSphere 5?  My mastering VMWare vSphere 5 book should be here today
[13:59] <h00k> bigbash: I haven't actually touched vSphere 5, I read some 'what's new'
[14:00] <h00k> but we have 4.1 on our stuff at the moment
[14:01] <bigbash> ah ok
[14:02] <h00k> bigbash: If you have the funding, I did the VMWare 4.1 setup, install, configure course for 5 days and learned a *ton*
[14:03] <bigbash> I may check with work to see if I can do that.
[14:03] <bigbash> we are going from physical to VM in like a month
[14:03] <h00k> in fact, I think they have the 5 course
[14:03] <h00k> now
[14:03] <h00k> and then you could take the exam and get cert'ed
[14:03] <bigbash> hmmm
[14:03] <bigbash> I might do that
[14:14] <h00k> It was worth it for me/work, anyway.
[14:15] <h00k> I take the 4.1 cert on Nov 11, then I'd like to do the 'what's new' course and get 5 cert'd
[14:17] <h00k> bigbash: this is the one I did: http://mylearn.vmware.com/mgrreg/courses.cfm?ui=www_edu&a=one&id_subject=19919
[14:18] <bigbash> h00k, did you do the online course?
[14:32] <h00k> bigbash: I did a physical course, actually
[14:32] <h00k> meatspace
[14:34] <bigbash> ah
[14:38] <h00k> bigbash: it was over in the Twin Cities
[14:39] <h00k> bigbash: I'm pretty sure you have to attend a physical class to get the cert
[14:39] <bigbash> darn
[15:51] <h00k> speaking of cosmicpizza, I just threw one in the oven.
[22:01] <Cheesehead> Ha! I just missed a viloin lesson becasue my spouse took *both* cars today. (She's good!)
[22:02] <h00k> Sweet.
[22:02] <h00k> wait, what?
[22:02]  * Cheesehead created a new musical instrument, the viloin
[22:03] <Cheesehead> I took car #1 this morning.
[22:03] <h00k> How did she manage to take both cars?
[22:03] <Cheesehead> Later, she took car #2 and met me someplace.
[22:03] <h00k> oho.
[22:03] <Cheesehead> Together, we returned.
[22:03] <Cheesehead> Now, she took away car #1.
[22:03] <Cheesehead> And I am a pedestrian.
[22:03] <Cheesehead> We both forgot to retrieve car #2.
[22:04] <Cheesehead> But claiming "She took them both" sounds better, doesn;t it?
[22:05] <Cheesehead> Better than "I can't remeber where I park, then wander away"
[22:06] <h00k> it happens...yeah.
[22:06] <h00k> on that note, I'm leaving to _drive_ home
[22:09]  * Cheesehead shakes fist in the air "Hogan!!!!!!"
[22:10] <Cheesehead> Yeah, obscure references to 45-year-old sitcoms. That's good humor.
[23:30] <h00k> okay, and now to hack my HP Touchpad
