| MarkDude | dragon, ping | 05:44 |
|---|---|---|
| Corey | pleia2: Know anyone in the general SF area who might be looking for a summer internship doing a Ubuntu type job? | 06:32 |
| Faqtotum | Corey: :( | 06:33 |
| Faqtotum | it's like dangling candy in front of a baby, then yanking it away | 06:33 |
| Corey | Faqtotum: Hmm? | 06:34 |
| Faqtotum | i'm from SF but temporarily indefinitely relocated to sacto | 06:34 |
| Corey | Faqtotum: I work out of LA, I spend a week now and then up there. :-) | 06:34 |
| Faqtotum | i go to LA for SCaLE, except this year | 06:35 |
| Corey | Figures! | 06:35 |
| Faqtotum | if sacto is still "in the general SF area" to you, i'm intrigued | 06:36 |
| Corey | But I've got Intern Budget so I figured I'd see whether there were decent folks. | 06:36 |
| Corey | Hey, it's your commute, not mine. :-D | 06:36 |
| Faqtotum | to LA? | 06:36 |
| Faqtotum | part of what intrigues me is the idea of the commute to LA | 06:37 |
| Corey | That's my commute. It's all in how you negotiate. :-) | 06:37 |
| Corey | I live here in LA, the office is in SF. | 06:37 |
| Corey | And no, my couch isn't available for three months. :-p | 06:37 |
| Faqtotum | lol | 06:38 |
| Faqtotum | how long will the offer be on the table? i don't have all my ducks in order atm | 06:39 |
| Corey | I'm trying to see what options I have. | 06:40 |
| Corey | Hence my pinging pleia2. | 06:40 |
| Faqtotum | pleia2: i'd consider it awesome to be peripherally in the loop as well | 06:42 |
| pleia2 | Corey: unfortunately I don't really know much about internships in general | 06:44 |
| Corey | pleia2: Right. I've got the internship (basically a summer job that ideally teaches them a bit about the Real World(tm)), I'm looking for folks who aren't rubbish is all. | 06:44 |
| Faqtotum | sadly, i AM rubbish | 06:45 |
| pleia2 | Corey: looking for a systems person on a developer? | 06:45 |
| pleia2 | s/on/or | 06:45 |
| Corey | Things like "fix my abortion of a Ubuntu package" build system, etc. | 06:45 |
| Corey | pleia2: Either or. | 06:45 |
| * pleia2 nods | 06:45 | |
| Faqtotum | dev here | 06:45 |
| pleia2 | Corey: does it have to be a college student with related internship stuff, or just any young person looking for something? | 06:46 |
| Corey | pleia2: Good question. I need to pry the answer to it out of our CEO come morning. | 06:46 |
| Corey | I suspect if they're solid either would do. | 06:46 |
| Faqtotum | pleia2: why does the person need to be young? | 06:46 |
| pleia2 | I don't know anyone off the top of my head, but I could certainly ask around | 06:47 |
| Corey | pleia2: I would appreciate this. | 06:47 |
| pleia2 | Faqtotum: internships don't pay much :) | 06:47 |
| Faqtotum | they are still valuable | 06:47 |
| Corey | I have no idea about payscale at the moment. | 06:47 |
| Faqtotum | foot-in-the-door can be more important than income in the long run | 06:48 |
| Corey | I don't imagine it's enough to get rich off of, but a summer doing a bit of real work isn't horrid on the resume. | 06:48 |
| pleia2 | Faqtotum: certainly depends on the person, pay-my-mortgage is most important for me now and in the long run ;) | 06:48 |
| Corey | If only dax were available. :-( | 06:49 |
| pleia2 | Corey: last I knew he was already working like two jobs :) | 06:49 |
| Corey | pleia2: Exactly! I already talked to him. | 06:49 |
| Faqtotum | you have a mortgage on the place on new montgomery? | 06:50 |
| pleia2 | Faqtotum: yep | 06:50 |
| Faqtotum | i didn't realize it was a condo | 06:50 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 06:51 |
| pleia2 | some people in this building rent of course, but the units are mostly owned separately | 06:51 |
| Faqtotum | i thought it was a rental, like the vast majority of places in SF | 06:51 |
| Corey | But there are some fun Ubuntu related projects coming up. | 06:51 |
| Corey | Like a migration to Precise! | 06:51 |
| Corey | I figure "summer" is a good target for that. | 06:51 |
| pleia2 | Corey: using LTS? | 06:51 |
| Corey | We are. | 06:52 |
| * pleia2 nods | 06:52 | |
| Corey | It's great to complain about. :-) | 06:52 |
| pleia2 | this netbook always stays on LTS | 06:52 |
| Corey | pleia2: I tried that. The LTS upgrade ate it. | 06:52 |
| pleia2 | I use a web browser and ssh, not much to complain about | 06:52 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: A mortgage on New Montgomery must be a fortune :P | 06:55 |
| bkerensa | but definitely a nice place to live and good investment | 06:55 |
| Faqtotum | bkerensa: corner of howard | 06:56 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: hah, a bit, but we both work in tech so we do ok :) | 06:56 |
| Faqtotum | there were better times for that before | 06:57 |
| pleia2 | only 800 sq ft though, so we're already trying to figure out where we go once we have kids | 06:57 |
| pleia2 | (and as my mother loves to remind me every-time-we-talk, I'm not getting any younger!) | 06:58 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: :P My fiancee is Middle Management at one of the largest consumer finance companies in the Pacific Northwest and I make off pretty nice with freelance but New Montgomery is out of the question :) | 06:58 |
| Faqtotum | having kids prior to the age of thirty is generally unwise | 07:00 |
| pleia2 | Faqtotum: I'm 30 | 07:00 |
| Faqtotum | i know | 07:00 |
| Faqtotum | i was reminding you that waiting until now was a good decision | 07:01 |
| pleia2 | ah, thanks :) | 07:01 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: You awake? | 07:34 |
| MarkDude | Yes | 07:37 |
| MarkDude | Whats up bkerensa | 07:37 |
| MarkDude | ? | 07:37 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Will PM | 07:37 |
| bkerensa | Simon & Garfunkel is excellent music to listen to at this hour | 07:58 |
| philipballew | Corey, looks like a nice internship | 08:09 |
| Corey | philipballew: It'll be a better one once I actually define the role, but I was hoping to find someone to fill it and build it around their skillset. | 08:29 |
| Corey | I didn't realize pleia2 was old! She's got... a good six months at LEAST on me! | 08:29 |
| philipballew | well I will be in nor cal all summer so I thought it looked pretty interesting and that is why it caught my eye | 08:30 |
| philipballew | she looks younger then she is :) | 08:30 |
| philipballew | Corey, about where would be a good place to get more info on this job? | 08:36 |
| Corey | philipballew: Here, most likely. :-) | 08:40 |
| Corey | It's not like I ever sign off. | 08:40 |
| philipballew | for sure, well it looks like something i would like to know more about | 08:43 |
| Faqtotum | [Thu 2012-02-16 12:29:22 AM PST] <Corey> philipballew: It'll be a better one once I actually define the role, but I was hoping to find someone to fill it and build it around their skillset. <---- building anything around my skillset sounds like a dream come true | 14:45 |
| Faqtotum | [Thu 2012-02-16 12:29:56 AM PST] <Corey> I didn't realize pleia2 was old! She's got... a good six months at LEAST on me! <----- meh, i was coding before she was old enough to walk or talk | 14:46 |

| MarkDude | Hey there dragon | 23:44 |
| MarkDude | Interested in going to Deviant art party this Sat after bowling? | 23:44 |
| MarkDude | And are you coming to art night tonight? Stacy should be there, most likely Niki | 23:44 |
| dragon | MarkDude: my family is in the town, so I'm caught up. | 23:45 |
| dragon | Barely making it to bowling, since I can't bail out. | 23:45 |
| dragon | I'd love to attend the party, but... how far is it? | 23:45 |
| MarkDude | In san fran | 23:47 |
| MarkDude | I was sending link to Sam in a few | 23:47 |
| MarkDude | Art night another time, maybe we should plan one for a Sat during day to make it so others can go | 23:48 |
| * dragon considers taking this to off-topic. :) | 23:52 | |
| MarkDude | Oh cool, I like how I can swear like a drunken sailor in that channel | 23:52 |
| MarkDude | This is relevant tho- its about a circle of friends..... | 23:53 |
| dragon | yes, it's relevant. | 23:55 |
| dragon | ..but logged. | 23:55 |
| * MarkDude waves fist vaguely in air regarding logging :D | 23:58 | |
| MarkDude | Its all good :) | 23:58 |
