[17:04] <pleia2> philipballew: is Darkwing there with you? Kubuntu Council should be at CC meeting now :)
[17:05] <pleia2> (he said he'd be there)
[17:06] <philipballew> he's not right now, he should be on his way as he said he'd be leaving ib and drive to point loma. he lives on the border and i live in the city. But I wonder if he forgot about that?
[17:06] <philipballew> xchat says he is away
[17:07] <pleia2> philipballew: doh, we reminded him yesterday
[17:07] <philipballew> what can ya do now anyway... :)
[17:10] <philipballew> pleia2, do you want me to remind him if he gets there?
[17:10] <philipballew> *there/here
[17:11] <philipballew> hey akk all ready for your scale speech?
[17:11] <akk> yep, I think so!
[17:11] <akk> You?
[17:12] <pleia2> philipballew: it'll probably be too late by then, thanks anyway :)
[17:12] <philipballew> I think so. Im heading up today and iim gonna work on it. its currently 30 minutes so I was gonna add more today and stuff. Its on old and youn aged people getting along in open source
[17:13] <philipballew> pleia2, alright. no worries. see you tonight or tomorrow probably!
[17:13] <pleia2> yep! have a safe drive :)
[17:14] <philipballew> I will! you have a safe flight. LAX can be a travelers nightmare
[17:14] <akk> pleia2, did you hear back about moving your talk?
[17:15] <pleia2> akk: yeah, they already printed up the schedules and they don't have the room for the last slot of the day
[17:15] <pleia2> so no moving it
[17:16] <akk> blah
[17:19] <pleia2> yay, Darkwing is here!
[17:19] <philipballew> nice!
[17:20] <philipballew> I cant decide weather or not to being my ceramic statue of Tux the penguin.. decisions of a Linux convention attendee
[17:20] <pleia2> he's in the car :)
[17:20] <philipballew> Maybe I will bring it
[17:21] <pleia2> do it!
[17:21] <pleia2> then it won't just be my toys all over the table :)
[17:21] <akk> More penguins are always good.
[17:22] <philipballew> a few years ago when every other kid inb ceramics was making bongs and pipes, I was making a tux statue
[17:22] <philipballew> *in
[17:22] <akk> awesome
[17:23] <philipballew> when do you come down akk ?
[17:24] <akk> Driving today.
[17:24] <philipballew> 5, 99, 101?
[17:25] <akk> 5
[17:25] <akk> the direct route
[17:25] <philipballew> thats the way to do it. donr that to many times to count
[17:25] <pleia2> I enjoyed the farmland on 5 :)
[17:25] <akk> When I used to go by myself in the X1/9, I liked taking 1.
[17:25] <pleia2> we stopped at a big fruit farm on our way to vegas once
[17:26] <pleia2> they had nommy fruit
[17:26] <akk> But in a boring car and with someone else to talk to, 5 isn't so bad, and of course a lot faster.
[17:26] <philipballew> i can do it pretty fast. San Diego to Auburn in 7.5 hours average
[17:26] <philipballew> but thats leaving at 11 at night
[17:28] <philipballew> akk, is you have nobody th talk to the 5 can be hell
[17:33] <akk> yeah, I've driven the central valley alone a few too many (hundred) times
[17:33]  * philipballew is all packed checking out to go wait outside!
[17:33] <philipballew> its the worst!
[17:33] <akk> yay philipballew, have a good drive! Which way are you going?
[17:33] <philipballew> the 5 i believe. I am in sd now in the second week of the semester
[17:33] <philipballew> dave is picking me up
[17:34] <akk> ah, nice short drive
[17:35] <philipballew> see you all there, your travels will be in my prayers.
[17:35] <pleia2> see you there :)
[17:35] <akk> Good luck beating the orange county traffic :)  See you there!
[17:35] <philipballew> seriously
[17:35]  * philipballew over and out
[17:40] <nhaines> Next time I visit San Francisco, I think I'll take the 1.
[17:41] <nhaines> Used to do that when I was a kid, but the last time I just took the 5.
[17:41] <nhaines> And the time before that I just took a plane.
[17:42] <pleia2> planes are fun
[17:43] <jtatum> for some definition of fun :)
[17:46] <akk> I love planes in theory, but I don't like airlines and airports in reality.
[17:46] <akk> I do love looking out plane windows, though.
[17:47] <pleia2> it certainly is best once you're seated on the plane
[17:47] <nhaines> akk: +1
[17:47] <nhaines> Probably 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] <akk> neat! How old?
[17:48] <nhaines> Except 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] <akk> In that case, did you keep the window seat? :)
[17:49] <nhaines> No, I was in the middle and he was on the aisle.  :)
[18:25] <pleia2> I 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 shoes
[18:28] <pleia2> nhaines: you should bring your 3ds so we can be 3ds friends!
[18:29] <nhaines> pleia2: yay!  I will do that.  Also Zen Pinball is awesome.
[19:09] <pleia2> "Arrived at local Post Office - Allow one to two additional days for delivery"
[19:09] <pleia2> looks like no chumby for scale :(
[19:09] <pleia2> ordered it on the 5th, I thought 2 weeks would be enough time!
[19:10] <bkerensa> uhh
[19:10] <bkerensa> yeah should have been wow
[19:10] <pleia2> it was a woot thing, they took forever to ship
[19:11] <pleia2> shipped 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] <pleia2> at my old place they just liked leaving notes even when I was home
[19:11] <bkerensa> I wish they would
[19:11] <bkerensa> they deliver to other addresses
[19:11] <bkerensa> weird stuff
[19:12] <bkerensa> I like my UPS guy I know him by name but these FedEx people come in Uhaul trucks and are different everytime...
[19:12] <nhaines> Yay!  http://ubucon.org/scale/scale10x/schedule.html
[19:12] <bkerensa> http://consumerist.com/2012/01/fedex-seems-to-think-any-front-door-will-do-for-package-delivery.html
[19:13] <bkerensa> apparently FedEx's fine print says they can deliver it to anyone unless signature is paid for
[19:13] <nhaines> Yeah, whenever I research a package for an RMA and it says "left at door" I always translate that as "threw it at the house"
[19:14] <pleia2> nhaines: yay!
[19:58] <nhaines> Also I received my HTC replacement battery for my G2, so now my phone won't explode in my pocket tomorrow.
[20:35] <paulproteus> Okay BAM I am back in the SF bay.
[20:35] <paulproteus> Oh, what's this about exploding G2 batteries? /me has a G2 also
[20:35] <DonkeyHotei> paulproteus: for how long?
[20:35] <paulproteus> Here forr 3 weeks, then gone a week; then here 3 weeks; then gone a week; then forever.
[20:35] <paulproteus> then (here) forever, that is.
[20:43] <nhaines> paulproteus: my G2's battery started bulging a week ago.  Just a week or so after it started to have really bad charge times.
[20:44] <nhaines> So it's out.  :)
[20:44] <nhaines> I was just imagining standing in front of an audience and having my leg explode.
[20:44] <pleia2> "Jan 19, 2012 10:48 AM
[20:44] <pleia2> Out for delivery"
[20:44] <pleia2> maybe I will have a chumby!
[20:44] <nhaines> yay!
[20:47] <DonkeyHotei> paulproteus: it'll be nice to have you back
[20:47] <pleia2> does this mean I need to move back east?
[20:48] <nhaines> Rotation?  :)
[20:48] <pleia2> yep!
[20:49] <pleia2> I moved here something like 6 months after he moved to philly
[20:49] <paulproteus> MarkDude: Yo. I'm moving back to SF.
[20:50] <paulproteus> Related, I suppose: If someone has a friend looking for a housemate, I'm all ears.
[20:57] <MarkDude> yAY
[21:01] <pleia2> MarkDude: is grantbow coming down for SCALE?
[21:05] <MarkDude> pleia2, I never heard back from him
[21:05]  * MarkDude tried phonecalls and everything
[21:06] <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 time
[21:06] <pleia2> MarkDude: ok thanks, I had hoped to catch him on Tuesday but I ended up going to the Lessig talk instead of his :\
[21:07] <pleia2> DonkeyHotei: won't california tip over?
[21:07] <DonkeyHotei> and on that note, bkerensa should move back here too
[21:09] <DonkeyHotei> and i should move back to SF; this town may be better than much of the state, but it still sucks fartballs
[21:17] <MarkDude> It can ALWAYS be better.
[21:18] <MarkDude> It can *always* be worse...
[21:22] <DonkeyHotei> well, you did warn me, but i already knew anyway
[21:36] <jtatum> could be worse… could be raining
[21:36] <pleia2> ssshhh
[21:39] <nhaines> It's going to rain Saturday, actually.
[21:39] <pleia2> it was cold and rainy last scale too
[21:39] <pleia2> I do not approve of this situation
[21:39] <pleia2> LA hates me :(
[21:40] <nhaines> pleia2: it's like the opposite of the Rose Parade!
[21:40] <pleia2> I don't know what that means :)
[21:43] <Darkwing> lol when ur flight pleia2?
[21:43] <nhaines> It's only rained during the Rose Parade one year in the 122 years it's been going.
[21:43] <pleia2> Darkwing: 7PM out of SFO
[21:44] <pleia2> should be on the ground shortly after 8
[21:44] <Darkwing> nice. :)
[21:44] <pleia2> you there? :)
[21:44] <Darkwing> yup. :)
[21:45] <pleia2> yay!
[21:46] <philipballew> The Hilton here is pretty nice
[21:46] <pleia2> my talk has handouts
[21:46]  * pleia2 packs them
[21:49] <philipballew> I like handouts because it allows people to make more speech mistakes and get away with them
[21:49] <pleia2> lol
[21:49] <pleia2> I just have them because my talk is bout a million links to resources
[21:51] <pleia2> I've been noticing more tarballs including README.txt instead of README lately, it's kind of weirding me out
[21:51] <philipballew> file extensions are not always necessary I thought?
[21:52] <pleia2> that's what I'm saying ;)
[21:52] <pleia2> weird that people started doing the .txt thing
[21:55] <philipballew> Maybe it helps for organizational in your mind?
[22:52] <pleia2> it's raining :(
[22:52] <pleia2> this is jtatum's fault
[22:52] <jtatum> or mel brooks/gene wilder
[22:54] <pleia2> chumby \o/
[22:54] <pleia2> this totally is not going to fit in my suitcase :x
[22:59] <pleia2> suitcase tetris success \o/
[23:02] <nhaines> \o/
[23:02] <nhaines> pleia2: I was betting the chumby would be delivered at 6:30.
[23:02] <pleia2> lol
[23:02] <pleia2> fedex tracking hasn't shown it as delivered, but I went downstairs to check anyway
[23:02] <nhaines> haha yay!
[23:04] <nhaines> About 5 minutes after I signed for my HTC battery, I got a UPS email saying it'd been delivered.
[23:05] <nhaines> (To the dock, 15 minutes earlier.)
[23:05] <nhaines> Funny, but on the other hand they got that mail up here *fast*.
[23:05] <pleia2> :)
[23:35] <nhaines> pleia2: so does Caligula know you're going?
[23:35] <pleia2> nhaines: I think they've figured out what suitcases mean
[23:35] <nhaines> haha
[23:35] <pleia2> 49.3lbs!
[23:37] <nhaines> yay!
[23:39] <bkerensa> Who is DonkeyHotei?
[23:39] <nhaines> That's a philosophical question.
[23:39] <bkerensa> =/
[23:40] <pleia2> Faqtotum, sn9, he has had many names
[23:40]  * bkerensa just noticed they ^ mentioned me :P my znc is connect to Growl which pings my phone when Im not connected to IRC :D
[23:40] <bkerensa> oh
[23:44] <nhaines> Hm, interesting.  Where do I find out more about this?
[23:45] <bkerensa> hmm
[23:46] <bkerensa> http://wiki.znc.in/Prowl
[23:46] <bkerensa> :)
