Beats creigslist rideshare, as that was my original plan [16:50] *texted [16:50] :) [16:51] One of these days I should really look into a car :) [16:51] you guys staying up here all weekend? [16:51] hehe [16:51] up here == LA [16:51] yeah, were rooming in a hotel room together I think.

Kubuntu Council should be at CC meeting now :) [17:05] (he said he'd be there) [17:06] 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] xchat says he is away [17:07] philipballew: doh, we reminded him yesterday [17:07] what can ya do now anyway... :) [17:10] pleia2, do you want me to remind him if he gets there?

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