[05:44] <MarkDude> dragon, ping
[06:32] <Corey> pleia2: Know anyone in the general SF area who might be looking for a summer internship doing a Ubuntu type job?
[06:33] <Faqtotum> Corey: :(
[06:33] <Faqtotum> it's like dangling candy in front of a baby, then yanking it away
[06:34] <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. :-)
[06:35] <Faqtotum> i go to LA for SCaLE, except this year
[06:35] <Corey> Figures!
[06:36] <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?
[06:37] <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
[06:38] <Faqtotum> lol
[06:39] <Faqtotum> how long will the offer be on the table? i don't have all my ducks in order atm
[06:40] <Corey> I'm trying to see what options I have.
[06:40] <Corey> Hence my pinging pleia2.
[06:42] <Faqtotum> pleia2: i'd consider it awesome to be peripherally in the loop as well
[06:44] <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.
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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?
[06:47] <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.
[06:48] <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 ;)
[06:49] <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.
[06:50] <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
[06:51] <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?
[06:52] <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
[06:55] <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
[06:56] <Faqtotum> bkerensa: corner of howard
[06:56] <pleia2> bkerensa: hah, a bit, but we both work in tech so we do ok :)
[06:57] <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
[06:58] <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 :)
[07:00] <Faqtotum> having kids prior to the age of thirty is generally unwise
[07:00] <pleia2> Faqtotum: I'm 30
[07:00] <Faqtotum> i know
[07:01] <Faqtotum> i was reminding you that waiting until now was a good decision
[07:01] <pleia2> ah, thanks :)
[07:34] <bkerensa> MarkDude: You awake?
[07:37] <MarkDude> Yes
[07:37] <MarkDude> Whats up bkerensa
[07:37] <MarkDude> ?
[07:37] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Will PM
[07:58] <bkerensa> Simon & Garfunkel is excellent music to listen to at this hour
[08:09] <philipballew> Corey, looks like a nice internship
[08:29] <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!
[08:30] <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 :)
[08:36] <philipballew> Corey, about where would be a good place to get more info on this job?
[08:40] <Corey> philipballew: Here, most likely. :-)
[08:40] <Corey> It's not like I ever sign off.
[08:43] <philipballew> for sure, well it looks like something i would like to know more about
[14:45] <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
[14:46] <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
[22:06] <dragon> MarkDude: pong!
[23:20] <nhaines> Hmm, I now that Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS is out, I shuold probably restart my machine.
[23:31] <jtatum> never restart or you lose the uptime game
[23:44] <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
[23:45] <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?
[23:47] <MarkDude> In san fran
[23:47] <MarkDude> I was sending link to Sam in a few
[23:48] <MarkDude> Art night another time, maybe we should plan one for a Sat during day to make it so others can go
[23:52]  * 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
[23:53] <MarkDude> This is relevant tho- its about a circle of friends.....
[23:55] <dragon> yes, it's relevant.
[23:55] <dragon> ..but logged.
[23:58]  * MarkDude waves fist vaguely in air regarding logging :D
[23:58] <MarkDude> Its all good :)
