[05:44] dragon, ping [06:32] pleia2: Know anyone in the general SF area who might be looking for a summer internship doing a Ubuntu type job? [06:33] Corey: :( [06:33] it's like dangling candy in front of a baby, then yanking it away [06:34] Faqtotum: Hmm? [06:34] i'm from SF but temporarily indefinitely relocated to sacto [06:34] Faqtotum: I work out of LA, I spend a week now and then up there. :-) [06:35] i go to LA for SCaLE, except this year [06:35] Figures! [06:36] if sacto is still "in the general SF area" to you, i'm intrigued [06:36] But I've got Intern Budget so I figured I'd see whether there were decent folks. [06:36] Hey, it's your commute, not mine. :-D [06:36] to LA? [06:37] part of what intrigues me is the idea of the commute to LA [06:37] That's my commute. It's all in how you negotiate. :-) [06:37] I live here in LA, the office is in SF. [06:37] And no, my couch isn't available for three months. :-p [06:38] lol [06:39] how long will the offer be on the table? i don't have all my ducks in order atm [06:40] I'm trying to see what options I have. [06:40] Hence my pinging pleia2. [06:42] pleia2: i'd consider it awesome to be peripherally in the loop as well [06:44] Corey: unfortunately I don't really know much about internships in general [06:44] 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] sadly, i AM rubbish [06:45] Corey: looking for a systems person on a developer? [06:45] s/on/or [06:45] Things like "fix my abortion of a Ubuntu package" build system, etc. [06:45] pleia2: Either or. [06:45] * pleia2 nods [06:45] dev here [06:46] Corey: does it have to be a college student with related internship stuff, or just any young person looking for something? [06:46] pleia2: Good question. I need to pry the answer to it out of our CEO come morning. [06:46] I suspect if they're solid either would do. [06:46] pleia2: why does the person need to be young? [06:47] I don't know anyone off the top of my head, but I could certainly ask around [06:47] pleia2: I would appreciate this. [06:47] Faqtotum: internships don't pay much :) [06:47] they are still valuable [06:47] I have no idea about payscale at the moment. [06:48] foot-in-the-door can be more important than income in the long run [06:48] 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] Faqtotum: certainly depends on the person, pay-my-mortgage is most important for me now and in the long run ;) [06:49] If only dax were available. :-( [06:49] Corey: last I knew he was already working like two jobs :) [06:49] pleia2: Exactly! I already talked to him. [06:50] you have a mortgage on the place on new montgomery? [06:50] Faqtotum: yep [06:50] i didn't realize it was a condo [06:51] yeah [06:51] some people in this building rent of course, but the units are mostly owned separately [06:51] i thought it was a rental, like the vast majority of places in SF [06:51] But there are some fun Ubuntu related projects coming up. [06:51] Like a migration to Precise! [06:51] I figure "summer" is a good target for that. [06:51] Corey: using LTS? [06:52] We are. [06:52] * pleia2 nods [06:52] It's great to complain about. :-) [06:52] this netbook always stays on LTS [06:52] pleia2: I tried that. The LTS upgrade ate it. [06:52] I use a web browser and ssh, not much to complain about [06:55] pleia2: A mortgage on New Montgomery must be a fortune :P [06:55] but definitely a nice place to live and good investment [06:56] bkerensa: corner of howard [06:56] bkerensa: hah, a bit, but we both work in tech so we do ok :) [06:57] there were better times for that before [06:57] only 800 sq ft though, so we're already trying to figure out where we go once we have kids [06:58] (and as my mother loves to remind me every-time-we-talk, I'm not getting any younger!) [06:58] 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] having kids prior to the age of thirty is generally unwise [07:00] Faqtotum: I'm 30 [07:00] i know [07:01] i was reminding you that waiting until now was a good decision [07:01] ah, thanks :) [07:34] MarkDude: You awake? [07:37] Yes [07:37] Whats up bkerensa [07:37] ? [07:37] MarkDude: Will PM [07:58] Simon & Garfunkel is excellent music to listen to at this hour [08:09] Corey, looks like a nice internship [08:29] 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] I didn't realize pleia2 was old! She's got... a good six months at LEAST on me! [08:30] 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] she looks younger then she is :) [08:36] Corey, about where would be a good place to get more info on this job? [08:40] philipballew: Here, most likely. :-) [08:40] It's not like I ever sign off. [08:43] for sure, well it looks like something i would like to know more about [14:45] [Thu 2012-02-16 12:29:22 AM PST] 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] [Thu 2012-02-16 12:29:56 AM PST] 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 === greg_g is now known as greg-g === MediaDoneRight is now known as killbirds [22:06] MarkDude: pong! === killbirds is now known as MediaDoneRight|w [23:20] Hmm, I now that Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS is out, I shuold probably restart my machine. [23:31] never restart or you lose the uptime game [23:44] Hey there dragon [23:44] Interested in going to Deviant art party this Sat after bowling? [23:44] And are you coming to art night tonight? Stacy should be there, most likely Niki [23:45] MarkDude: my family is in the town, so I'm caught up. [23:45] Barely making it to bowling, since I can't bail out. [23:45] I'd love to attend the party, but... how far is it? [23:47] In san fran [23:47] I was sending link to Sam in a few [23:48] 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] Oh cool, I like how I can swear like a drunken sailor in that channel [23:53] This is relevant tho- its about a circle of friends..... [23:55] yes, it's relevant. [23:55] ..but logged. [23:58] * MarkDude waves fist vaguely in air regarding logging :D [23:58] Its all good :)
