nhainesNext time I visit San Francisco, I think I'll take the 1.17:40
nhainesUsed to do that when I was a kid, but the last time I just took the 5.17:41
nhainesAnd the time before that I just took a plane.17:41
pleia2planes are fun17:42
jtatumfor some definition of fun :)17:43
akkI love planes in theory, but I don't like airlines and airports in reality.17:46
akkI do love looking out plane windows, though.17:46
pleia2it certainly is best once you're seated on the plane17:47
nhainesakk: +117:47
nhainesProbably my best plane ride was like 10 years ago when the flight attendant asked if it was okay to put a little boy flying alone for the first time next to me.17:47
akkneat! How old?17:47
nhainesExcept despite the description (she put her hand up to measure about 4 feet) he turned out to be 13 and we just talked about videogames the whole time.17:48
akkIn that case, did you keep the window seat? :)17:48
nhainesNo, I was in the middle and he was on the aisle.  :)17:49
pleia2I flew on a plane alone with I was 11, everyone was very nice and it was not very scary, except for when I got to Boston airport and one of the escalators ate half of one of my shoes18:25
pleia2nhaines: you should bring your 3ds so we can be 3ds friends!18:28
nhainespleia2: yay!  I will do that.  Also Zen Pinball is awesome.18:29
pleia2"Arrived at local Post Office - Allow one to two additional days for delivery"19:09
pleia2looks like no chumby for scale :(19:09
pleia2ordered it on the 5th, I thought 2 weeks would be enough time!19:09
bkerensauhh19:10
bkerensayeah should have been wow19:10
pleia2it was a woot thing, they took forever to ship19:10
pleia2shipped on the 12th, estimated delivery today, but not so much :\19:11
* bkerensa is actively scanning out his window for FedEx truck.... They like leaving packages at weird spaces where they can get stolen :(19:11
pleia2at my old place they just liked leaving notes even when I was home19:11
bkerensaI wish they would19:11
bkerensathey deliver to other addresses19:11
bkerensaweird stuff19:11
bkerensaI like my UPS guy I know him by name but these FedEx people come in Uhaul trucks and are different everytime...19:12
nhainesYay!  http://ubucon.org/scale/scale10x/schedule.html19:12
bkerensahttp://consumerist.com/2012/01/fedex-seems-to-think-any-front-door-will-do-for-package-delivery.html19:12
bkerensaapparently FedEx's fine print says they can deliver it to anyone unless signature is paid for19:13
nhainesYeah, whenever I research a package for an RMA and it says "left at door" I always translate that as "threw it at the house"19:13
pleia2nhaines: yay!19:14
nhainesAlso I received my HTC replacement battery for my G2, so now my phone won't explode in my pocket tomorrow.19:58
paulproteusOkay BAM I am back in the SF bay.20:35
paulproteusOh, what's this about exploding G2 batteries? /me has a G2 also20:35
DonkeyHoteipaulproteus: for how long?20:35
paulproteusHere forr 3 weeks, then gone a week; then here 3 weeks; then gone a week; then forever.20:35
paulproteusthen (here) forever, that is.20:35
nhainespaulproteus: my G2's battery started bulging a week ago.  Just a week or so after it started to have really bad charge times.20:43
nhainesSo it's out.  :)20:44
nhainesI was just imagining standing in front of an audience and having my leg explode.20:44
pleia2"Jan 19, 2012 10:48 AM20:44
pleia2Out for delivery"20:44
pleia2maybe I will have a chumby!20:44
nhainesyay!20:44
DonkeyHoteipaulproteus: it'll be nice to have you back20:47
pleia2does this mean I need to move back east?20:47
nhainesRotation?  :)20:48
pleia2yep!20:48
pleia2I moved here something like 6 months after he moved to philly20:49
paulproteusMarkDude: Yo. I'm moving back to SF.20:49
paulproteusRelated, I suppose: If someone has a friend looking for a housemate, I'm all ears.20:50
MarkDudeyAY20:57
pleia2MarkDude: is grantbow coming down for SCALE?21:01
MarkDudepleia2, I never heard back from him21:05
* MarkDude tried phonecalls and everything21:05
DonkeyHotei[Thu 2012-01-19 12:47:55 PM PST] <pleia2> does this mean I need to move back east? <--- no, everyone should be here all the time21:06
pleia2MarkDude: ok thanks, I had hoped to catch him on Tuesday but I ended up going to the Lessig talk instead of his :\21:06
pleia2DonkeyHotei: won't california tip over?21:07
DonkeyHoteiand on that note, bkerensa should move back here too21:07
DonkeyHoteiand i should move back to SF; this town may be better than much of the state, but it still sucks fartballs21:09
MarkDudeIt can ALWAYS be better.21:17
MarkDudeIt can *always* be worse...21:18
DonkeyHoteiwell, you did warn me, but i already knew anyway21:22
jtatumcould be worse… could be raining21:36
pleia2ssshhh21:36
nhainesIt's going to rain Saturday, actually.21:39
pleia2it was cold and rainy last scale too21:39
pleia2I do not approve of this situation21:39
pleia2LA hates me :(21:39

pleia2I don't know what that means :)21:40
Darkwinglol when ur flight pleia2?21:43

pleia2yay!21:45
philipballewThe Hilton here is pretty nice21:46
pleia2my talk has handouts21:46

philipballewI like handouts because it allows people to make more speech mistakes and get away with them21:49
pleia2lol21:49
pleia2I just have them because my talk is bout a million links to resources21:49
pleia2I've been noticing more tarballs including README.txt instead of README lately, it's kind of weirding me out21:51
philipballewfile extensions are not always necessary I thought?21:51
pleia2that's what I'm saying ;)21:52
pleia2weird that people started doing the .txt thing21:52
philipballewMaybe it helps for organizational in your mind?21:55
pleia2it's raining :(22:52
pleia2this is jtatum's fault22:52
jtatumor mel brooks/gene wilder22:52
