[11:08] <govatent> hello
[11:15] <maxolasersquad_h> Hey govatent
[11:15] <govatent> whats up maxo
[11:15] <govatent> I'm in the middle of trying to setup an ubuntu hour here in Israel sometime this month. :) 
[11:16] <maxolasersquad_h> Ripping DVDs to ISO and then transferring to my server courtesy of my new HD.
[11:16] <maxolasersquad_h> Cool.
[11:21] <govatent> how have you been?
[11:27] <maxolasersquad_h> Fairly well.  How's the land of milk and honey?
[11:28] <govatent> its interesting 
[11:28] <govatent> I've not had fun getting around with english 
[11:28] <govatent> People are not as nice as in the US. my opinion 
[11:28] <maxolasersquad_h> Worse than NY?
[11:29] <maxolasersquad_h> Or Miami even?
[11:29] <govatent> yea. 
[11:30] <govatent> Sad to say. I had a caretaker from the philippines help me find my bus stop cause everyone else was just staring at me trying to figure out what to do. 
[11:30] <maxolasersquad_h> I'd say perhaps its because your American, but I'd reckon the Israelis probably like America.
[11:31] <govatent> I guess i've mostly had run in with older folks 
[11:31] <govatent> younger folks i've not really talked to 
[11:31] <govatent> most are at work/ school or military when i travel 
[11:32] <govatent> im about to go out and find lunch in a bit. see how that goes. 
[11:32] <maxolasersquad_h> What's the GMT offset there?
[11:33] <govatent> -7 I think 
[11:33] <govatent> +7 sorry 
[11:33] <govatent> not sure the gmt offset 
[11:33] <govatent> +3
[11:33] <govatent> just looked it up 
[11:34] <maxolasersquad_h> I've got to get ready for the day.  Happy lunching.
[11:34] <govatent> yup take care
