| bkerensa | nathwill: we need to road trip to Mexico and outsource our problem :P | 00:00 |

| nathwill | nafta baby | 00:00 |
| nathwill | knew it was good for somethign | 00:00 |
| nathwill | wow my fingers are retarded today | 00:00 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Memorex+-+CD/DVD+LabelMaker+Expert+Kit/6882153.p;jsessionid=CA3E38BE9CC2C51677B923BAC37B97D6.bbolsp-app01-21?id=1095432401805&skuId=6882153 | 00:00 |
| orebuntu_ | bkerensa's tiny URL is http://tinyurl.com/7b9zxwd | 00:00 |
| bkerensa | if we could find something like that but that uses Nix | 00:01 |
| bkerensa | that would be great | 00:01 |
| bkerensa | and cost effective | 00:01 |
| nathwill | well there's already great cd-cover graphic designing software on nix | 00:01 |
| nathwill | the trick is: a) burner w/ master and several replicators, and b) a press that doesn't suck | 00:02 |
| nathwill | a is wicked expensive | 00:02 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: what if we crowd funded it? | 00:07 |
| bkerensa | we have 100 members | 00:07 |
| nathwill | yeah... | 00:07 |
| bkerensa | if everyone chipped in it might make it easier idk | 00:07 |
| nathwill | hey folks, can you bring a couple cds | 00:08 |
| nathwill | i dunno what that would accomplish though | 00:08 |
| nathwill | it's mostly members who're interested in cds? | 00:08 |
| bkerensa | no I mean crowd fund a replication tower and label maker | 00:08 |
| nathwill | except for the events, like oscon | 00:08 |
| nathwill | oh | 00:08 |
| nathwill | well... | 00:08 |
| nathwill | when can we apply for membership again? | 00:08 |
| nathwill | i think that's a better fix | 00:08 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: thats a good question because reviewing their irc logs they said a few months during discussion but when they voted they said 6+ | 00:08 |
| nathwill | hrm... | 00:09 |
| bkerensa | which is imho ridiculous because I think we were given a unfair shake | 00:09 |
| nathwill | this is how often they do loco membership reviews? | 00:09 |
| nathwill | circa 6 mo. cycle? | 00:09 |
| bkerensa | yeah | 00:09 |
| bkerensa | likely they want us to wait a entire cycle | 00:09 |
| bkerensa | or more | 00:09 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: as it is PSU alone seems like they could get 100 CD's out per cycle | 00:13 |
| nathwill | i think... | 00:13 |
| nathwill | i'm emailing myself the link to the approval criteria | 00:14 |
| nathwill | and i will go through it tonite | 00:14 |
| nathwill | because my initial impression is that we meet the revised criteria | 00:14 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: Yes | 00:14 |
| bkerensa | We meet the revised and honestly met the old criteria | 00:14 |
| nathwill | alright... lemme see what i can figure out tonite... i'll jam with you on it some once i get home and eat some dinner' | 00:15 |
| nathwill | deener | 00:15 |
| bkerensa | no doubt | 00:19 |
| bkerensa | thanks | 00:19 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: I was not aware Canonical waived shipping cost on CD's that is pretty nice | 00:39 |
| bkerensa | oh because they are pre-order only right now | 00:40 |
| slangasek | well, the pre-order status and the free shipping are unrelated | 00:44 |
| bkerensa | Hmm thats really cool indeed then | 00:44 |
| bkerensa | :D | 00:44 |
| bkerensa | Wish free shipping for all things :P | 00:45 |
| slangasek | so once you start adding in label printing, sleeves, wear'n'tear on the CD burner, I think you're going to be hard-pressed to beat that price | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | :) | 00:48 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: Yes but who's price is it to pay ;) | 00:48 |
| slangasek | hmm? | 00:48 |
| * bkerensa is not going to pay $200 :) | 00:48 | |
| bkerensa | maybe I would contribute $50 | 00:49 |
| bkerensa | :P | 00:49 |
| slangasek | that's fair, I wouldn't pay $200 either ;) | 00:49 |
| slangasek | I thought the community team was showering you with CDs anyway? | 00:49 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: well we only had the 11.10's and I got the rest of those out to PSU because they burned through them fast | 00:50 |
| slangasek | sure | 00:50 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: I could beg Jono or jcastro for a box of 12.04 but I am not sure its going to work :P | 00:50 |
| slangasek | it might, I don't know | 00:50 |
| nathwill | alright, shift's over. catch y'all later! | 00:57 |
| c_smith | heyo | 01:01 |
| * c_smith is here at the Ubuntu hour, JVLB isn't going to show up, car problems for him. | 01:01 | |
| c_smith | hmmmmm, kinda dead here. | 01:09 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: its always dead here :) | 01:18 |
| bkerensa | The nature of developers and geeks :) busy at work | 01:19 |
| bkerensa | plus it is Friday evening so most people are out to dinner or drinks or with their family | 01:19 |
| c_smith | true. | 01:21 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, I have been told that I might be getting a few servers (the guy got a building that supposedly had them in there, and he doesn't need them) would a machine like that be suitable for making a CLI only Media Server? | 01:37 |
| c_smith | if a CLI only Media server exists, that is. | 01:37 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: You do not need GUI for a media server | 01:47 |
| c_smith | ??? I never said GUI. | 01:48 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: but at the same thing I hope you are prepared for the electric costs associated with running a server at home :) | 01:48 |
| c_smith | CLI, Command Line Interface. | 01:48 |
| bkerensa | and potentially blowing a breaker if you have to much amps on a circuit | 01:48 |
| c_smith | eh, My proctor parents aren't even happy leaving lights on in a room a person is returning to in less than 30 seconds. | 01:48 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Correct you asked if a CLI only media server exists and I said you do not need GUI for a Media Server hence yes CLI is possible | 01:49 |
| bkerensa | Servers in general are not meant to have gui | 01:49 |
| c_smith | so I may end up just salvaging parts from said servers. | 01:49 |
| * c_smith wonders if certain parts of a server can be implanted into a Desktop PC | 01:49 | |
| bkerensa | c_smith: I am not totally sure how much it would cost but I would bet about $25 a month extra just in electric | 01:49 |
| bkerensa | and during the summer whatever room its in would be very uncomfortable | 01:50 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: depends what kind of server? They do make servers in a tower form factor | 01:51 |
| bkerensa | in fact a tower form factor server probably wouldnt ding you too bad on electric | 01:51 |
| c_smith | eh, servers to me would be unusable due to very very finicky people when it comes to cost controlling the electricity. | 01:51 |
| bkerensa | but if your going to move a 1U into your bedroom expect lots of heat and a new found love on your power bill :) | 01:51 |
| c_smith | I don't control my power bill, so like I said, servers would end up being unusable. | 01:52 |
| sbeattie | and noise | 01:52 |
| c_smith | and the guy in charge wakes up really easily. | 01:52 |
| bkerensa | sbeattie: yeah :) | 01:53 |
| bkerensa | a nice constant hum | 01:53 |
| c_smith | all of the downsides you are mentioning point to the guy ending up shutting it off before the first week is over. | 01:53 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: What is the latest you can do a Ubuntu Hour at night? | 01:53 |
| bkerensa | When I get back from UDS I was thinking about driving down for a Salem Ubuntu Hour but there is no way I could be there by 6pm | 01:53 |
| sbeattie | bkerensa: as an ex-sysadmin, one of the most frightening sounds I've ever heard was our server room completely silent because of a power outage. | 01:53 |
| c_smith | The latest? probably 7AM and ending a 8PM, maybe later if I get it okayed. | 01:54 |
| bkerensa | the earliest I think I could be to Salem is 8pm firm | 01:54 |
| c_smith | Let me call someone to see if that is doable. | 01:54 |
| bkerensa | sbeattie: Yeah I have worked in dc's and was a sysadmin for my school district after high school | 01:54 |
| bkerensa | :D | 01:54 |
| c_smith | hopefully I get an answer. | 01:55 |
| c_smith | if they even pick up the phone. >.> | 01:56 |
| c_smith | aaaandd.... no answer, dod | 01:56 |
| c_smith | didn't even pick up the phone. >.< | 01:56 |
| c_smith | curse this enter key. | 01:56 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, I got an answer, not a 100% for sure one, but the answer I got was it is possible, but I will have a 100% certain answer tomorrow, do you want me to email you then? | 02:01 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, I'll have an answer tomorrow, do you want me to shoot you an email then? | 02:04 |
| bkerensa | yes | 02:04 |
| * bkerensa is gone for dinner | 02:04 | |
| c_smith | kk, | 02:04 |
| c_smith | then I'm out, cya,. | 02:04 |
