pleia2lol00:01
bkerensalol00:01
bkerensapleia2: Yeah having an extra $200 is a concern for me... I dont need any incidentals one way or another I will likely make it happen but with my budget for the trip already it seems like it might be pushing it a bit00:01
bkerensaso I guess I will e-mail the sponsorship person and see about it00:02
pleia2don't quote me on $200 either ;) it varies by hotel00:02
bkerensapleia2: I just checked with the marriott they said they charge $50 per night when you check in00:05
pleia2gah, $30000:06
bkerensaso $300 must be available on the card00:06
bkerensaYeah00:06
bkerensa:(00:06
bkerensathats really not good00:06
bkerensathats means I would need to have readily $300 (Room) + $300 food/bev/taxi and then perhap another hundred or two for emergency00:07
bkerensawow00:07
philipballewI wont have that kinda money, but I'll make it work00:07
pleia2a month later you get reimbursed, but yeah, up front you need some cash00:08
bkerensa:(00:08
bkerensaphilipballew: I probably wont either00:08
bkerensaphilipballew: We may be in the same boat00:08

philipballewI'll email them and tell them what's up00:09
bkerensaphilipballew: can you CC me bkerensa@ubuntu.com00:09
bkerensatell them I'm in same boat... thats a lot of money00:09
bkerensaand I already have to bring a lot of money upfront :) and I got bills at home so idk00:10
philipballewAgreed, After I figure out how to reenable my ppa's here i'll get the email ready00:10
philipballewupgrading to 12.04 is fun, but a pain...00:10

philipballewagreed bkerensa00:10
philipballewgot my question answered though http://askubuntu.com/questions/111645/whats-the-best-way-to-re-enable-ppas-repos-after-an-upgrade00:11
bkerensa<pleia2> I always forget about this, someone always ends up having a problem as a result00:30
bkerensawhat has been done in past?00:30
pleia2if they can't check in at all people go to registration and ask the canonical folks for help right then00:31
pleia2if they check in and then realize they have no money they can do the same, or borrow money from fellow attendees00:31
philipballewill get this email started soon bkerensa dont worry. Still swearing at my computer. Should be done soon enough00:32
philipballewusually after enough time I get it solved00:35
bkerensaphilipballew: What are you upgrading from?00:41
philipballewbkerensa, 11.10 to 12.04. Disabled all my ppa's no I am trying to renable them. Thankfully I asked on askubuntu and I am going to try  to figure out how to do this http://askubuntu.com/questions/111645/whats-the-best-way-to-re-enable-ppas-repos-after-an-upgrade00:42
bkerensahmm00:42
bkerensaphilipballew: sudo sed -i s'/oneiric/precise/g' /etc/apt/sources.list00:43
bkerensasudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --purge && sudo apt-get clean00:43
bkerensaand then kick back and wait for half a hour?00:43
bkerensa:D00:43
bkerensaor more00:43
philipballewsounds good to me!00:43
* philipballew copy and paste's00:43
bkerensaafter the upgrade is 100% done I would suggest also trying sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get -f install00:44
bkerensawhich should make sure nothing got broke and fix it hopefully00:44
bkerensa"D00:44
philipballewseems fun.00:45

bkerensaphilipballew: its the best fun ever00:45
bkerensa:D00:45
philipballewI think ill open and type the email in a google doc00:45
bkerensapleia2: so I have a question about a issue thats pickled me for years... Why do some people reply below quote and some above? What is the standard at least in FOSS?00:46
bkerensaI feel like I'm going against the grain by replying above quote with sig above quote00:48
erichammondbkerensa: You just asked a religious question where people have very strong opinions on both sides for arbitrary reasons that they each believe are inherently obviously true.00:53
bkerensaerichammond: oh yeah? :P00:53
pleia2what erichammond said00:53
* philipballew has no idea what going on00:54
erichammondI've been on the Internet for nearly three decades.  The standard used to be inline responses, but over the last decade it has moved towards response above and quoted thread below.00:54
philipballewoh look bkerensa a link that shows me typing a email!!! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VEJH_e59w-yE4o-HtQPespfSgZ4RXbaOp9gJrP-uoPk/edit00:54
pleia2I tend to do inline and bottom posting on foss lists, but in general it depends on my audience and sometimes the content00:55
bkerensaphilipballew: the amout of people watching you type is growing00:58
bkerensa:D00:58
philipballewwhat is above and below? I need to know so I can form a die hard opinion thats as strong and stubborn as my love of vi00:58
