| philipballew | alright, I will. ususlly at conferences I sleep on the floor, but this should be a treat | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | lol | 00:01 |
| bkerensa | lol | 00:01 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: 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 bit | 00:01 |
| bkerensa | so I guess I will e-mail the sponsorship person and see about it | 00:02 |
| pleia2 | don't quote me on $200 either ;) it varies by hotel | 00:02 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: I just checked with the marriott they said they charge $50 per night when you check in | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | gah, $300 | 00:06 |
| bkerensa | so $300 must be available on the card | 00:06 |
| bkerensa | Yeah | 00:06 |
| bkerensa | :( | 00:06 |
| bkerensa | thats really not good | 00:06 |
| bkerensa | thats means I would need to have readily $300 (Room) + $300 food/bev/taxi and then perhap another hundred or two for emergency | 00:07 |
| bkerensa | wow | 00:07 |
| philipballew | I wont have that kinda money, but I'll make it work | 00:07 |
| pleia2 | a month later you get reimbursed, but yeah, up front you need some cash | 00:08 |
| bkerensa | :( | 00:08 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: I probably wont either | 00:08 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: We may be in the same boat | 00:08 |
| bkerensa | they even hold it for ten business days | 00:08 |
| bkerensa | :( | 00:08 |
| philipballew | I'll email them and tell them what's up | 00:09 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: can you CC me bkerensa@ubuntu.com | 00:09 |
| bkerensa | tell them I'm in same boat... thats a lot of money | 00:09 |
| bkerensa | and I already have to bring a lot of money upfront :) and I got bills at home so idk | 00:10 |
| philipballew | Agreed, After I figure out how to reenable my ppa's here i'll get the email ready | 00:10 |
| philipballew | upgrading to 12.04 is fun, but a pain... | 00:10 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: Thanks so much... Just figure one e-mail is better then bomboarding them | 00:10 |
| philipballew | agreed bkerensa | 00:10 |
| philipballew | got my question answered though http://askubuntu.com/questions/111645/whats-the-best-way-to-re-enable-ppas-repos-after-an-upgrade | 00:11 |
| bkerensa | <pleia2> I always forget about this, someone always ends up having a problem as a result | 00:30 |
| bkerensa | what has been done in past? | 00:30 |
| pleia2 | if they can't check in at all people go to registration and ask the canonical folks for help right then | 00:31 |
| pleia2 | if they check in and then realize they have no money they can do the same, or borrow money from fellow attendees | 00:31 |
| philipballew | ill get this email started soon bkerensa dont worry. Still swearing at my computer. Should be done soon enough | 00:32 |
| philipballew | usually after enough time I get it solved | 00:35 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: What are you upgrading from? | 00:41 |
| philipballew | bkerensa, 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-upgrade | 00:42 |
| bkerensa | hmm | 00:42 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: sudo sed -i s'/oneiric/precise/g' /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:43 |
| bkerensa | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --purge && sudo apt-get clean | 00:43 |
| bkerensa | and then kick back and wait for half a hour? | 00:43 |
| bkerensa | :D | 00:43 |
| bkerensa | or more | 00:43 |
| philipballew | sounds good to me! | 00:43 |
| * philipballew copy and paste's | 00:43 | |
| bkerensa | after the upgrade is 100% done I would suggest also trying sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get -f install | 00:44 |
| bkerensa | which should make sure nothing got broke and fix it hopefully | 00:44 |
| bkerensa | "D | 00:44 |
| philipballew | seems fun. | 00:45 |
| bkerensa | but the first two is what I have done on every upgrade so far without a hitch | 00:45 |
| philipballew | breaking things is a skill i have | 00:45 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: its the best fun ever | 00:45 |
| bkerensa | :D | 00:45 |
| philipballew | I think ill open and type the email in a google doc | 00:45 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: 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 |
| bkerensa | I feel like I'm going against the grain by replying above quote with sig above quote | 00:48 |
| erichammond | bkerensa: 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 |
| bkerensa | erichammond: oh yeah? :P | 00:53 |
| pleia2 | what erichammond said | 00:53 |
| * philipballew has no idea what going on | 00:54 | |
| erichammond | I'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 |
| philipballew | oh look bkerensa a link that shows me typing a email!!! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VEJH_e59w-yE4o-HtQPespfSgZ4RXbaOp9gJrP-uoPk/edit | 00:54 |
| pleia2 | I tend to do inline and bottom posting on foss lists, but in general it depends on my audience and sometimes the content | 00:55 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: the amout of people watching you type is growing | 00:58 |
| bkerensa | :D | 00:58 |
| philipballew | what 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 vi | 00:58 |
| philipballew | ALl are free to edit! | 00:58 |
| philipballew | *all | 00:58 |
| philipballew | usually when I type college papers I tweet the url of the doc and say edit, it works | 00:59 |
| philipballew | bkerensa, feel free to say whatever else you want and please correct whatever | 01:03 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: I dont have edit power | 01:03 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 01:03 |
| philipballew | nice!!! | 01:03 |
| bkerensa | Read-Only | 01:03 |
| bkerensa | :D | 01:03 |
| pleia2 | ok, heading out for the evening | 01:04 |
| philipballew | https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VEJH_e59w-yE4o-HtQPespfSgZ4RXbaOp9gJrP-uoPk/edit | 01:04 |
