jjesse | meeting tonight right? | 01:40 |
---|---|---|
gamerchick02 | i got an email about it | 01:41 |
snap-l | Yep, we'll get started in 7 minutes. | 01:53 |
gamerchick02 | Downton Abbey is on, so i might not be paying much attention | 01:57 |
snap-l | gah, I tried to watch that show | 01:57 |
brousch | tivo it | 01:57 |
snap-l | Felt like a big load of "why am I watching this?" | 01:58 |
gamerchick02 | it's bloody awesome | 01:58 |
gamerchick02 | it's got Maggie Smith in it, so it's good. ;) | 01:58 |
snap-l | Even she couldn't assuage me | 01:59 |
gamerchick02 | it's like a soap though. i like Doc Martin too. *shrug* | 01:59 |
snap-l | but we only watched one episode | 01:59 |
gamerchick02 | i love Maggie Smith | 01:59 |
gamerchick02 | oh you have to see the whole thing | 01:59 |
gamerchick02 | i don't have a tivo, brousch | 01:59 |
gamerchick02 | i have cable, but no dvr | 01:59 |
brousch | barbaric | 01:59 |
snap-l | I don't think I need an entire fruitcake to let me know I don't like fruitcake | 01:59 |
* gamerchick02 is cheap | 01:59 | |
gamerchick02 | good point, snap-l. | 01:59 |
brousch | do you knap your own knives from obsidian too? | 02:00 |
gamerchick02 | i like it. it's my thing though | 02:00 |
gamerchick02 | brousch, no. | 02:00 |
snap-l | OK, let's get started | 02:00 |
gamerchick02 | i have a VCR. | 02:00 |
gamerchick02 | ok | 02:00 |
snap-l | http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-michigan/312/detail/ | 02:00 |
brousch | i'm riding th exercise bike. sorry if i smell funny | 02:00 |
snap-l | That's got the agenda | 02:00 |
snap-l | First order of business: moving the meeting | 02:01 |
brousch | what tme is it in budapest? | 02:01 |
snap-l | quite honestly, I broached this, but I think this time works best | 02:01 |
snap-l | Probably morning | 02:01 |
jjesse | i agree | 02:01 |
gamerchick02 | Sundays aren't the best for me, but that's just... me | 02:01 |
snap-l | We seem to get enough people | 02:02 |
gamerchick02 | true | 02:02 |
snap-l | I know there's always going to be people who can't make it, but I think we should keep this for a while until it really becomes a problem | 02:02 |
gamerchick02 | i'll try to make as many as i can | 02:02 |
snap-l | awesome | 02:02 |
snap-l | Any further comments? | 02:03 |
gamerchick02 | sounds silly but it conflicts with Masterpiece. :-P (if it were Sherlock, i would definitely not be here) | 02:03 |
snap-l | That's what laptops are for. ;) | 02:03 |
gamerchick02 | true | 02:03 |
snap-l | Sheesh | 02:03 |
gamerchick02 | i'm watching with the laptop. ;) | 02:03 |
gamerchick02 | anyway, continue | 02:03 |
jjesse | this time works the best for me out of any | 02:03 |
gib | Just finished watching Once upon A Time. Ends at 9PM EST. | 02:03 |
tbemus | I like getting the reminders, Thanks~ | 02:04 |
snap-l | Yeah, I think the only regulars that really can't make it are Wolfger. | 02:04 |
tbemus | ! | 02:04 |
gib | I'd prefer earlier since I get up early on weekdays. | 02:04 |
snap-l | Yeah, I'll make a habit of sending out the e-mail to let folks know | 02:04 |
snap-l | gib: Not bloody likely | 02:04 |
gamerchick02 | i like the email though. | 02:04 |
jjesse | this works the best, any earlier cuts into bed time | 02:04 |
snap-l | but we can make the meetings briefer | 02:05 |
gamerchick02 | bed time? | 02:05 |
jjesse | son's bed time | 02:05 |
gamerchick02 | oh. sorry. | 02:05 |
gib | How does earlier than 9PM EST cut into bed time? | 02:05 |
snap-l | so, without further ado... | 02:05 |
snap-l | SWAG. | 02:05 |
jjesse | if i'm home i'm helping out w/ bed time | 02:05 |
jjesse | we have SWAG? | 02:05 |
gamerchick02 | swag is always welcome. | 02:06 |
snap-l | brousch: You added it, please elaborate. ;) | 02:06 |
gib | OH, so you need to keep it later for a child's time to coordinate. I get it. | 02:06 |
jjesse | yeah and i think snap-l is in the same boat | 02:06 |
brousch | we have a lifetime's worth of cds | 02:06 |
snap-l | jjesse: I don't have children | 02:06 |
brousch | stickers are much bette for handing out | 02:06 |
snap-l | brousch: Agreed | 02:06 |
gamerchick02 | stickers are always welcome. | 02:06 |
jjesse | soryr | 02:06 |
jjesse | sorry | 02:06 |
brousch | bdtime++ | 02:07 |
gib | So, what kind of stickers? | 02:07 |
brousch | ubuntu/kubuntu stickrs | 02:07 |
gamerchick02 | nice! | 02:07 |
snap-l | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences <- These are the ones that I'm aware of | 02:07 |
tbemus | +1 | 02:07 |
brousch | http://shop.canonical.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=stickers&op=Search | 02:07 |
brousch | we have 3 or 4 canonical employees in th group. i would think they could hook us up | 02:08 |
snap-l | I'm not sure how we got them in the past | 02:09 |
snap-l | I know Ohio got a conference pack for OLF | 02:09 |
brousch | greg-g sent me 2 sheets. i gave them away in about 4 months | 02:10 |
brousch | one sticker at a time | 02:10 |
snap-l | I'll look into getting some swag | 02:11 |
snap-l | worst they can say is "buy it". :) | 02:11 |
brousch | i did | 02:11 |
brousch | shipping sucks | 02:11 |
snap-l | Yeah | 02:11 |
snap-l | but we do have Penguicon coming up | 02:12 |
snap-l | And some release parties I would assume. :) | 02:12 |
brousch | it seems like a blob of stickers would be a good thing for official locos | 02:13 |
snap-l | So, we have some things we'd be available for. | 02:13 |
gib | We can make some stuff at http://techshop.ws they just opened a Detroit location. | 02:13 |
snap-l | gib: Why don't you look into that? There's info here on using the brand: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ | 02:14 |
snap-l | Speaking of which, 12.04 is going to be released soon | 02:16 |
snap-l | And as is customary, we have release parties. | 02:17 |
tbemus | Do you know the date? late April? | 02:17 |
snap-l | Not offhand | 02:17 |
brousch | snap-l: and a bug jam | 02:17 |
snap-l | Yep | 02:18 |
brousch | my annual trek to AA | 02:18 |
snap-l | The release of Ubuntu 12.04 is scheduled for April 26th. | 02:18 |
snap-l | I haven't heard when the gloal jam is scheduled | 02:19 |
snap-l | generally we coincide with that | 02:19 |
tbemus | Release party at Penguicon? | 02:19 |
gib | Well I'm just a beginner - I bet we can make some cheap really bad art that would be cool. | 02:19 |
snap-l | gib: There's some PDF files on there | 02:20 |
snap-l | Global Jam is 2-4 of March | 02:20 |
snap-l | Yeah, I think the release party will be at Penguicon again | 02:20 |
brousch | gib: we have a decent ubuntu-mi logo | 02:20 |
gib | Which files do we like? | 02:21 |
snap-l | gib: Why don't you take them and see what techchop could do wtih them? | 02:22 |
gib | I see some Commical t-shirts that look interesting. But they may be copyrighted. | 02:23 |
snap-l | So, to recap, plan on some jam activity in March | 02:24 |
brousch | techshop sounds like i3 | 02:24 |
snap-l | I'll ask jrwren if SRT will be available during that weekend in March | 02:25 |
gib | Simple designs: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=718 | 02:26 |
gib | Techshop is like i3 but they have a million dollars of equipment. | 02:26 |
snap-l | Any other business that anyone would like to discuss? | 02:27 |
gib | Humm: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=UbuntuPoster-Virus.png | 02:27 |
snap-l | So, to recap: | 02:27 |
gamerchick02 | uh, Downton Abbey is awesome? | 02:27 |
snap-l | 1) Meetings will stay on Sundays # 9pm | 02:27 |
snap-l | 2) I'll look into getting some swag from our events | 02:27 |
snap-l | 3) We'll start planning the global jam at SRT | 02:28 |
snap-l | 4) Release party is during Penguicon (anyone want to coordinate this? :) ) | 02:28 |
brousch | we lost greg-g in ann arbor, but jrwren is still there | 02:28 |
snap-l | OK, I'll add those agenda items to the next meeting | 02:30 |
snap-l | Anythig else? | 02:30 |
gamerchick02 | not from here. | 02:30 |
gib | Goodnight all . . . | 02:31 |
snap-l | Next Meeting is Feb 5th | 02:31 |
snap-l | Thanks everyone! | 02:31 |
gamerchick02 | cool! | 02:31 |
brousch | thank you snap-l | 02:31 |
gamerchick02 | see you all then. or earlier, i hope. i've been bad about not being in irc but it seems dead in the evening. | 02:31 |
gamerchick02 | i don't have internet at work. :( | 02:31 |
gib | So, we do this every week? ON Sunday ant 9PM EST? | 02:32 |
brousch | gib: month | 02:32 |
jjesse | every month | 02:32 |
gib | Oh, ok. | 02:32 |
jjesse | but we hang out here all the time | 02:32 |
gamerchick02 | i'm off to finish Downton Abbey. see everyone tomorrow after work. | 02:32 |
gib | First Sunday? | 02:33 |
snap-l | gib: Generally, but this year it was on New Years Day | 02:33 |
gib | Okay. See ya. I've got this on my calendar now. | 02:34 |
snap-l | http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-michigan/ical <- iCal feed | 02:34 |
brousch | gib: you could subscribe to the ubuntu-mi calendar, then it's put on for you | 02:35 |
snap-l | Has all of our events. | 02:35 |
gib | Yeah, I really prefer to control my calendar myself. | 02:35 |
gib | Well - bye bye for now - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | 02:36 |
brousch | heh | 02:36 |
snap-l | I guess I shouldn't tell him about copying events to your calendar. | 02:37 |
snap-l | Sheesh | 02:37 |
brousch | probably using some crusty open source calendar that doesn't handle subscriptions well | 02:38 |
snap-l | Also, ust once I'd like to not hear about tech shop | 02:38 |
snap-l | I swear, ever since it opened I hear about it at least once per encounter with Gib. :) | 02:38 |
brousch | hah, well i think we all have those projects we pimp all the time | 02:39 |
snap-l | Yeah, I'm guilty of that | 02:39 |
snap-l | But I'm to the point where every time it gets mentioned adds one more month of me ignoring it. | 02:40 |
snap-l | I think I'm up to most of 2013 | 02:40 |
brousch | is it different from i3 or a competitor? | 02:41 |
brousch | i suppose you east siders have enough space to have several hackerspaces | 02:41 |
snap-l | I think it's something in partnership with Ford | 02:43 |
jjesse | is that what it is? a hackerspace? | 02:43 |
jjesse | i seem to just ignore it | 02:43 |
brousch | from the description it looks like a hackerspace | 02:44 |
jjesse | so who watches downtown abby? | 02:49 |
jjesse | just found it on netflix | 02:49 |
brousch | is that like sister act? | 02:50 |
jjesse | no idea | 02:52 |
locodir-user | Anyone here? | 02:54 |
snap-l | locodir-user: Hello | 02:56 |
snap-l | locodir-user: We just finished the meeting, so it may be a little quiet here. :) | 02:56 |
jhansonxi | Tried to pay attention. Was busy playing Shadowgrounds (Humble Bundle game). | 03:01 |
snap-l | no worries. ;) | 03:01 |
snap-l | Note: Apparently JoDee is not used to me hitting on a drum practice pad | 03:43 |
snap-l | I believe the phrase she used was "I will kill you" | 03:43 |
_stink_ | haha | 04:42 |
rick_h__ | morning from Budapest | 08:01 |
rick_h__ | sleep is good, but ugh still | 08:01 |
snap-l | g'morning | 11:30 |
rick_h__ | afternoon | 11:31 |
snap-l | Heh | 11:32 |
snap-l | how's budapest? | 11:32 |
rick_h__ | cool, finally starting code to cood | 11:33 |
rick_h__ | code that is | 11:33 |
rick_h__ | bah, sorry talking to 3 people at once | 11:33 |
snap-l | I bet it's pretty hectic over there. | 11:34 |
Wolfger | morning | 12:32 |
Wolfger | forgot all about last night's meeting. Actually was in bed by 9 :-p | 12:33 |
Wolfger | so we're keeping monthlies on Sunday at 9? | 12:33 |
snap-l | Wolfger: Looks that way. | 12:34 |
Wolfger | Well then I look forward to completely forgetting about many more. | 12:38 |
snap-l | Heh | 12:38 |
snap-l | Sorry | 12:38 |
Wolfger | Crappy thing is, this day/time was originally my idea | 12:38 |
Wolfger | oh well. Life changes, things go on. | 12:38 |
brousch | but sometimes THINGS DIE | 12:39 |
Wolfger | Got your e-mail reminder yesterday morning and was fully determined to show up for the meeting, too. | 12:39 |
Wolfger | That's it, brousch. Always look on the bright side of life. | 12:39 |
* Wolfger whistles | 12:39 | |
brousch | damn you | 12:40 |
snap-l | Speaking of which, off to work. | 12:40 |
snap-l | Laterness. | 12:40 |
Wolfger | seeya | 12:40 |
brousch | always look on the bright side of death!/just before you draw your terminal breath | 12:41 |
Wolfger | Now you've got it! :-) | 12:43 |
brousch | now i've got it stuck in my head you mean | 12:48 |
Wolfger | Excellent | 12:57 |
snap-l | back | 13:52 |
snap-l | Also, Dropbox is awesome. | 13:52 |
brousch | snap-l++ | 13:54 |
snap-l | synced my read / review files without too much trouble. | 13:56 |
snap-l | Gah, forgot the goofy little cable for my Sansa player | 13:58 |
brousch | snap-l: it's the same as many cameras | 13:58 |
snap-l | http://shop.sandisk.com/store/sdiskus/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/CategoryID.11449200/productID.103565200 | 14:00 |
snap-l | Well, that was fun. | 14:24 |
brousch | good | 14:31 |
snap-l | Had my computer do all sorts of interesting things (not display the theme properly) | 14:31 |
brousch | welcome to unity! | 14:32 |
snap-l | bah | 14:33 |
snap-l | I hope part of the precise cycle is fixing this wonkiness | 14:34 |
snap-l | Seriously want to love Unity, but it's getting on my nerves. | 14:34 |
brousch | ++ | 14:38 |
brousch | s/getting/got/ | 14:41 |
Wolfger | Unity has already converted tjagoda to KDE... come join the fun | 14:58 |
snap-l | I'm not ready for that yet. | 15:01 |
brousch | Wolfger: and me | 15:01 |
snap-l | I'm going to hold out for 12.04 | 15:01 |
snap-l | If I feel it's not moved in the right direction, I'm bailing as well | 15:01 |
Wolfger | I'm actually very happy with KDE under 32-bit Ocelot | 15:02 |
Wolfger | much better than the last two times I tried to come back to KDE | 15:03 |
ColonelPanic001 | <3 KDE | 15:03 |
ColonelPanic001 | I approve of the increased discussion of KDE in this channel | 15:03 |
brousch | it feels so much more mature than gnome3 and unity | 15:03 |
brousch | like everything you need is there and you can tweak it to your liking | 15:04 |
Wolfger | Though I'm going to have to bail on Rekonq. It's a much better browser than it used to be, but it crashes too often. | 15:04 |
brousch | gnome3/unity always feels like a feature isn't there, or if it is you have to use it just how the author wants you to | 15:05 |
Wolfger | It does suck less resources than FF or Chromium, though. At least, it seems that way. Haven't done a true comparison. | 15:05 |
Wolfger | brousch: that has always been my problem with Gnome... You have to use it the way somebody else wants you to :-p | 15:05 |
brousch | well it's not a problem as long you agree with the dev | 15:06 |
Wolfger | Hey, any other WeatherSpark users here? | 15:06 |
Wolfger | Seems like there should be a forecast for amount of precipitation, but all I'm seeing is % chance of precipitation. | 15:06 |
ColonelPanic001 | yeah | 15:07 |
ColonelPanic001 | I use it | 15:07 |
ColonelPanic001 | see nothing there about rain | 15:07 |
Wolfger | I'm looking at "40% chance of light snow" on Friday... Sure would be nice to know what "light snow" is... | 15:08 |
Wolfger | I mean, I consider 1-2 inches to be light, but there's a huge difference traffic-wise between "no accumulation" and 2 inches | 15:09 |
ColonelPanic001 | heh, yeah | 15:11 |
snap-l | The thing about Unity / GNOME3 is that there are lots of ways to tweak things, and they're all inside dconf / gconf | 15:11 |
snap-l | Wolfger: Any forecast that's more than 24 hours is highly suspect. | 15:12 |
snap-l | hence the chance of snow, but no real numbers to back it up | 15:12 |
brousch | that's like tweaking Windows by hacking the registry | 15:13 |
brousch | i <3 linux | 15:15 |
brousch | nepomuk has had both CPUs at 100% all morning while it indexes, but my performance is not affected at all | 15:15 |
ColonelPanic001 | I often just turn that off. I know where my files are. That's why I have directories | 15:16 |
brousch | i want to give it a try | 15:16 |
brousch | gnome has that zeitgeist thing | 15:16 |
Wolfger | Nepomuk does a decent job of staying out of the way of real work.... only issue I have with it running at 100% is the heat | 15:18 |
Wolfger | it's especially bad (or used to be) when indexing NTFS. | 15:18 |
brousch | well i think the fans in this MBP are running all the time, so heat isn't an issue | 15:19 |
snap-l | brousch: MBP is terrible for heat dissipation | 15:20 |
snap-l | at least the older ones were | 15:20 |
brousch | this one keeps my hands warm in the winter | 15:20 |
snap-l | when I had one, it felt like I was BBQing my nads if I didn't have a lap desk | 15:20 |
brousch | dissipates through the aluminum | 15:20 |
snap-l | I find the thinkpads are much more efficient for keeping cool | 15:21 |
Wolfger | Since installing Ocelot, I have not had any CPU heat issues yet... Of course, I also don't have my NTFS automounting in FSTAB yet either. | 15:22 |
brousch | yeah, no heat issues with this, but again, i think the fans are always on | 15:23 |
brousch | which means i get about 75% of the battery life it had unser OSX | 15:23 |
brousch | good enough | 15:23 |
nullspace | snap-l: that doctoro talk has me totally uninterested in tablet devices | 15:36 |
nullspace | thanks, you saved me $500 | 15:36 |
brousch | heh | 15:36 |
brousch | a friend of mine has hacked debian onto his $99 nook simple touch | 15:38 |
brousch | eink device | 15:38 |
snap-l | nullspace: you're welcome. | 16:16 |
Wolfger | That Doctorow talk has me... completely unphased about my purchase of a Kindle Touch. It's still awesome. Looking forward to a better world, though. | 16:42 |
brousch | i had almost forgotten just how much i missed the MBP touchpad | 16:44 |
brousch | such a beautiful thing | 16:44 |
snap-l | cd | 16:59 |
snap-l | bah | 16:59 |
brousch | mp3 | 17:01 |
krondor | no scrollback, doctorow talk link? | 17:01 |
Wolfger | krondor: the link was on G+ | 17:05 |
Wolfger | which I can't access again now that I'm back at work :-p | 17:05 |
krondor | Wolfger: Thanks :) I'll find it | 17:06 |
snap-l | krondor: It's been all over the net | 17:07 |
Wolfger | I just googled it | 17:07 |
Wolfger | http://goo.gl/H5AKB | 17:08 |
Wolfger | a 28c3 talk | 17:08 |
krondor | oh yeah I read the transcript, didn't watch the video good stuff | 17:08 |
Wolfger | "I came across your resume as your experience is relevant to one of my current openings" .... Liar! | 17:09 |
Wolfger | "Required Skills: 3+ years experience supporting open source email at an enterprise level (10K + users)" <-- I do not have that requirement. Why are you bothering me? | 17:10 |
snap-l | Wolfger: You don't support open source email at an enterprise level? :) | 17:23 |
nullspace | Wolfger: I don't see e-readers replacing general PCs | 18:05 |
nullspace | books maybe but not a computer | 18:05 |
brousch | tablets could replace laptops for most people | 18:07 |
brousch | maybe even home PCs | 18:08 |
brousch | if printing were easy, i could replace my dad, grandma, and FIL's cpmputers with a tablet | 18:08 |
ColonelPanic001 | yeah, we had a Asus Transformer here with the keyboard | 18:13 |
ColonelPanic001 | if not for code, I easily could use it for 90% of stuff | 18:13 |
ColonelPanic001 | 90%+ | 18:13 |
ColonelPanic001 | plus, it pops off and suddenly is a tablet. It's pretty awesome | 18:14 |
brousch | right, coding and printing | 18:14 |
ColonelPanic001 | I very rarely print, so for me just code | 18:18 |
ColonelPanic001 | but yeah, could be an issue. Never tried printing from android | 18:19 |
brousch | supposedly you can go through google cloud print now | 18:20 |
brousch | but that requires you have a Windows or OSX computer sitting around that handles the print sharing for you | 18:21 |
ColonelPanic001 | lame | 18:21 |
brousch | indeed | 18:23 |
brousch | though it's kind of cool that i can print to the big printers at work from anywhere | 18:23 |
ColonelPanic001 | there's a big color plotter here | 18:23 |
ColonelPanic001 | I kind of want to use it for something. anything | 18:24 |
ColonelPanic001 | preferably lolcats | 18:24 |
ColonelPanic001 | just find a good "OH HAI" one, hang it by the door in the morning | 18:24 |
krondor | brousch: yeah cloud print works kind of well actually, but you do need that print server. | 18:32 |
brousch | i have not actually tried it with android, but it worked well with my chromebook | 18:33 |
Wolfger | Resolved: Technology should be an aid, not a crutch. | 18:43 |
Wolfger | We have tech here at the plant to assist people in doing things better/faster/efficiently, but when the tech fails they act like they suddenly can't do their job at all. | 18:44 |
snap-l | Wolfger: Yep | 18:48 |
snap-l | That wouldn't surprise me in the least. | 18:48 |
brousch | it's frightening how much arguing with apple-lovers is like arguing with religious people | 19:21 |
Blazeix | s/apple/$OPERATING_SYSTEM/ | 19:26 |
