| dholbach | good morning | 07:47 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | cprofitt: how old is your daughter? | 11:59 |
| jo-erlend | heh... Other people usually say "hello" or something when people join :) | 12:03 |
| mhall119 | jo-erlend: I'm not "other" people ;) | 12:03 |
| jo-erlend | :) | 12:04 |
| mhall119 | jo-erlend: he was asking for advice (yesterday, as I noticed after posting that) on getting his daughter interested in match | 12:08 |
| mhall119 | which, it just so happens, I'm trying to do with my own daughter | 12:08 |
| jo-erlend | aha :) | 12:08 |
| mhall119 | and I realize now that randomly asking people how old their daughter is can seem kind of creepy :( | 12:08 |
| jo-erlend | it seemed like a fairly unusual greeting, yes. :) | 12:09 |
| cprofitt | mhall119: 11 and 4 | 12:09 |
| mhall119 | cprofitt: mine is 6 | 12:09 |
| mhall119 | cprofitt: I also happen to know that one of the other girls in her class has told her that Girls shouldn't do math | 12:10 |
| mhall119 | so, for her, I think maybe it's a peer issue | 12:10 |
| mhall119 | she's started watching Mythbusters though, and really likes it, so I'm going to try and find some household experiments along those lines we can do that require some calculations | 12:11 |
| mhall119 | the thing is, she's really really good at math, it's always been easy for her | 12:12 |
| mhall119 | then some other girl comes along and tells her that it's not cool (or whatever the 1st grade version of 'cool' is), and now she wants nothing to do with it | 12:13 |
| mhall119 | #endranting | 12:14 |
| mhall119 | Alan need to write a rant bot | 12:15 |
| cprofitt | mhall119: sorry I got pulled out for a high priority projector not working issue | 12:18 |
| cprofitt | yeah... I think partially it might be a peer pressure issue as well. | 12:18 |
| cprofitt | that is why I was thinking a role model might help | 12:18 |
| paultag | dholbach: hey man | 14:26 |
| paultag | dholbach: so, remember a while back I had an idea that involved stickers and a particular 80's song? | 14:26 |
| dholbach | yes, I do | 14:32 |
| paultag | dholbach: well, 5 pounds of said stickers showed up | 14:34 |
| paultag | dholbach: and there's about 250 around boston | 14:34 |
| dholbach | you're mean | 14:34 |
| * YoBoY loves this idea ^^ | 14:34 | |
| paultag | >:) | 14:35 |
| cprofitt | hey paultag | 14:43 |
| paultag | hey cprofitt | 15:20 |
| paultag | YoBoY: it's going really well | 15:20 |
| YoBoY | you have a counter to know how many people use the qrcode ? | 15:22 |
| paultag | YoBoY: no, I was afraid of two things - putting my name / domain on a sticker I'm giving out to people freely, or using a URL shortner that can be taken down by the cops or something | 15:26 |
| paultag | YoBoY: so, It's just a direct link to rick | 15:26 |
| YoBoY | ok | 15:27 |
| czajkowski | paultag: picture of them? | 15:31 |
| paultag | czajkowski: one sec | 15:32 |
| paultag | czajkowski: http://i.imgur.com/zLun6.jpg | 15:34 |
| cprofitt | paultag: I have that same keyboard... and looks like the same mouse... | 15:34 |
| cprofitt | maybe even the same lenovo | 15:34 |
| paultag | cprofitt: this is just the work setup, at home I have a Das Keyboard and a Razr Mamba | 15:35 |
| paultag | here's it's pretty stock. Nice hardware, though. | 15:35 |
| cprofitt | I liked the Maba, but went with the Logitech Uber Beast | 15:35 |
| czajkowski | paultag: funky | 15:35 |
| paultag | czajkowski: did you scan it? | 15:35 |
| czajkowski | paultag: yup | 15:36 |
| czajkowski | works :) | 15:36 |
| paultag | :) | 15:36 |
| cprofitt | one of my favorite songs paultag | 15:36 |
| paultag | czajkowski: they're all over boston now | 15:36 |
| cprofitt | ;-) | 15:36 |
| paultag | I've just been giving them out like crazy | 15:36 |
| paultag | people really went nuts with it | 15:36 |
| czajkowski | paultag: yes but you are nuts, dear :) | 15:37 |
| paultag | czajkowski: :) | 15:37 |
| cprofitt | priceless paultag ... priceless | 15:37 |
| paultag | there are about 250 gone so far out of about 1,000 | 15:38 |
| Pendulum | paultag: that's brilliant | 15:49 |
| paultag | Pendulum: :D | 15:49 |
| Pendulum | If I were closer to Boston, I'd offer to come up and take some to start spreading through CT | 15:50 |
| paultag | Pendulum: I'm going to mail some out, I think | 15:51 |
| paultag | Pendulum: I'll be happy to send you some once I get a bunch of envolopes | 15:51 |
| Pendulum | paultag: if you get me some by about April 25, I'll bring them to UDS | 15:51 |
| Pendulum | (well, and spread around San Francisco the week before, as well) | 15:52 |
| paultag | Pendulum: oh man | 15:53 |
| paultag | what an idea | 15:53 |
| Pendulum | I know | 15:54 |
| czajkowski | oh dear | 15:54 |
| czajkowski | can see this going horribly wrong :) | 15:54 |
| Pendulum | czajkowski: nah, my major rule for everything is not to get arrested | 15:54 |
| paultag | it's like writing on a wall with chalk | 15:55 |
| Pendulum | czajkowski: plus Martyn won't let me get myself into too much trouble (I hope) | 15:57 |
| BobJonkman | Hi all: I'm trying to enter the next Ubuntu Hour Waterloo event on http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/add/ but I can 't pull down the list for "Event Contact" or "Event Venue". Is something broken? Is it me? | 16:05 |
| BobJonkman | Got the event entered. It may have been a problem with the number of selections being to large for Epiphany to display. | 16:33 |
| BobJonkman | s/to/too/ | 16:33 |
| mhall119 | BobJonkman: yes, we've had previous complaints about it not working in Empathy, but working fine in Firefox and Chromium | 17:00 |
| oix | ping huats | 21:31 |
