[06:03] <philipballew> Coffee cup number two!!!
[06:03] <pleia2> philipballew: want me to handle the post-meeting stuff? (I don't mind, paper week is a nice reason for you to skip it once)
[06:04] <philipballew> pleia2, yeah, thats a good idea, I have no time
[06:04] <philipballew> I have yet to sleep in a few days more then about three hours.
[06:05] <pleia2> yeah, it did sound like you were wearing a bit thin :)
[06:06] <philipballew> kinda, This college is kinda annoying
[06:06] <philipballew> maybe I should have started typing the papers in January...
[06:07] <pleia2> hehe
[06:50] <philipballew> Coffee cup number three!!!
[06:50] <philipballew> bring on the fun1

[08:50] <philipballew> Now time for a Klondike bar!!!
[15:56] <philipballew> Its only Tuesday...
[16:02] <kdub> yeah, tell me about it :P
[16:02] <kdub> philipballew: are you heading up north for the summer again?
[16:03] <philipballew> Possibly. Kinda UDS, Im going to go to thr napa vally to help my grandmother redo some parts of her house. But might come back down during the summer.
[16:03] <philipballew> *after uds
[16:04] <kdub> ah well, maybe i'll switch back to arranging the ubuntu hours in the summer
[16:05] <philipballew> I think that is a good idea kdub . Im supprised that weve actually had people coming lately. No longer the phil ans kevin show.
[16:05] <kdub> haha, yeah
[16:05] <kdub> that starbucks is a good compromise of a place to meet as well
[16:06] <philipballew> Its right there at the two big locations I figured. Close to everyone, and good parking.
[16:08] <philipballew> Hows the bay kdub ?
[16:09] <kdub> ah, i'm still in san diego
[16:09] <kdub> heading up today
[16:10] <philipballew> ah, nice. Driving or flying?
[16:10] <kdub> leaving on a jetplane
[16:11] <philipballew> Excellent. Oakland has some really nice areas. Some... not so much
[16:20] <kdub> 9am... pretty early for college students ;-) test today?
[16:21] <philipballew> Have to get up early for work... I have three final's tomorrow so I showed up for work early so I can go study this afternoon
[16:21] <philipballew> I Hate finals week
[16:22] <philipballew> but at least its a good outlet for my insomnia
[16:23] <kdub> my favorite was writing code down on paper
[16:23] <kdub> nrly
[16:24] <philipballew> I hate that. How can I test it then.
[16:29] <kdub> if they really wanted to test you in ways that'll never happen, they'd make you take your test on horseback
[16:30] <kdub> that'd be cool :D
[16:30] <philipballew> Well I could go right down to sunset cliffs and take the ride on the beach
[16:45] <itnet7> kdub: that would be classic (the horseback test) ;-p
[16:46] <bkerensa> philipballew: what time you arrive on Sunday?
[16:49] <philipballew> bkerensa, 11
[16:50] <bkerensa> philipballew: at Amtrak?
[16:57] <bkerensa> philipballew: at Amtrak?
[16:57] <philipballew> yourself bkerensa ?
[16:57] <philipballew> sure I guess
[16:58] <bkerensa> amtrak OKL
[17:01] <philipballew> whens that?
[17:10] <bkerensa> at like 8am
[17:11] <bkerensa> maybe I will just go drop my stuff with the hotel concierge then come back and find you for tea
[17:14] <philipballew> bkerensa, that sounds perfect. I will need that. I doubt I will have slept much come then. I am in a don't stop push to finish finals, then I have two days to move everything I own 600 miles, then take the train. Caffeine will be amazing.
[17:14] <philipballew> you got me digits?
[17:14] <bkerensa> nah I will PM you mine
[17:15] <DonkeyHotei> i have a thumb
[17:15] <bkerensa> o.o
[17:15] <bkerensa> just one?
[17:15] <philipballew> I have a foot
[17:15] <bkerensa> I have a toe
[17:15] <philipballew> head and shoulders, knees and toes
[17:15] <philipballew> knees and toes
[17:17] <bkerensa> philipballew: at least you dont have a 16 hour trip :P
[17:17] <philipballew> 3 hours by train, 7 by car. you have it hard
[17:28] <itnet7> bkerensa: is that because of connecting flights?
[17:28] <itnet7> (16 hour trip)
[17:32] <bkerensa> itnet7: nope its because I elected to take Amtrak :P
[17:32] <bkerensa> everyone else coming from Portland will be there in under 3 hours :)
[17:33] <philipballew> bkerensa, taking the train like a boss
[17:33] <bkerensa> not so much a boss mode of transportation
[17:33] <bkerensa> ;)
[17:35] <philipballew> well its good for a trip from Auburn to Oakland
[17:36] <itnet7> bkerensa: that would be pretty interesting, at least today they probably have wifi
[17:37] <itnet7> I looked at taking amtrak once for my family to visit our relatives up north, the one where you can actually put your car on the train, it was going to be 27+ hours
[17:38] <bkerensa> itnet7: no wifi actually =/
[17:38] <itnet7> :-(
[17:38] <bkerensa> apparently the sleeper cars have wifi but it often doesnt work or is pretty slow since its just using 3G
[17:38] <bkerensa> :P
[17:39]  * bkerensa will be in the wonderful accomodations of coach for 12 hours :)
[17:39]  * itnet7 's still deciding whether or not to go to UDS
[17:39] <itnet7> This will be the first one I've missed since Jaunty cycle
[17:43] <philipballew> itnet7, whats stopping you?
[17:44] <itnet7> I procrastinated, and now the rooms are really expensive
[17:44] <itnet7> I am still trying to swing it though, philipballew
[17:44] <philipballew> where do you live then?
[17:44] <itnet7> Florida
[17:45] <philipballew> hum, Ill sell you my bed for 50!
[17:45] <itnet7> :-)
[17:45] <philipballew> canonical would really disprove of that...
[17:46] <itnet7> philipballew: it will work out, if it's meant to
[17:46] <pleia2> itnet7: my fiance would kill me if I offered more, but you're welcome to spend 2 nights on my couch if it helps with costs
[17:46] <pleia2> (he likes having visitors, but I push limits a bit when I say someone is staying for a week :))
[17:46] <itnet7> pleia2:  :-)
[17:48] <itnet7> How far away are you from the event? You live in San Jose, don't you pleia2 ?
[17:48] <philipballew> pleia2, lives in a nice part of town
[17:48] <bkerensa> philipballew: if we are in same room... I will buy your bed for $50
[17:48] <bkerensa> ;p
[17:49] <bkerensa> lol
[17:49] <bkerensa> $50 for 6 nights right?
[17:49] <bkerensa> :D
[17:49] <pleia2> itnet7: San Francisco, 20 minute light rail/subway ride
[17:49] <philipballew> sounds good bkerensa Ill sleep on the floor for that!
[17:49] <bkerensa> LOL
[17:49] <pleia2> itnet7: so, very close :)
[17:49]  * bkerensa jokes
[17:49] <itnet7> Wow!
[17:49] <philipballew> you all might laugh, but I would ...
[17:49] <bkerensa> philipballew: although the floor is probably more comfortable then the bed for me.... I like firm :P
[17:50] <philipballew> you could sleep in the bathtub then
[17:50] <philipballew> thats probably pretty firm and you dont have to get up to shower
[17:51] <philipballew> bkerensa, why do you like firm?
[17:51] <bkerensa> philipballew: idk :P
[17:51] <itnet7> I was looking into the Clarion, I wonder if the package deals would let me stay less nights at places
[17:52] <philipballew> seems good bkerensa. Do we just find out who my bunk mate when they walk in the room or wjat?
[17:52] <philipballew> I am a good roomate. I have shared a room all my life
[17:52] <bkerensa> philipballew: idk pleia2 is the uds vet
[17:52] <bkerensa> :P
[17:52] <philipballew> A solder int the Ubuntu war
[17:53] <pleia2> philipballew: you can email your contact at canonical to ask who your roommate is, but most of us just find out when we show up
[17:53] <philipballew> pleia2, I like surprises
[17:53] <pleia2> philipballew: also, don't actually give up space in your sponsored room without talking to your roommate, it's really not cool
[17:53] <pleia2> there have been a few incidents where people brought girlfriends and things, not good :(
[17:53] <philipballew> pleia2, yeah, I wouldn't...
[17:55] <bkerensa> :P pleia2 was joking
[17:55] <bkerensa> :D
[17:55] <bkerensa> I dont want to buy a bed
[17:55] <philipballew> Yeah. thats why they have the do not disturb. my roomate last semester always had a gf in the room alot. I had to knock because a few times I "disturbed them"
[17:55] <philipballew> so I am used to the whole. "oh, your here" thing
[17:55] <pleia2> bkerensa: I know, you already have a room :)
[17:56] <bkerensa> half of one but yeah
[17:56] <bkerensa> :D
[17:56] <bkerensa> and if plans go right I will spend very little time there
[17:56] <bkerensa> :D
[17:56] <philipballew> Party in bkerensa room!!!
[17:56] <bkerensa> 5-6 hours tops per day
[17:56] <bkerensa> nah
[17:56] <pleia2> I lucked out in brussels, my roommate only stayed for 2 nights (she was just coming in to do a plenary)
[17:56] <bkerensa> Party in SF
[17:56] <bkerensa> Party in Berkeley
[17:56] <itnet7> :-)
[17:57] <bkerensa> and definitely big party in Mountain View on Friday night
[17:57] <philipballew> mtn view?
[17:57] <philipballew> why there?
[17:57] <bkerensa> :P
[17:57] <bkerensa> Mozilla is having a WebFWD Party
[17:57] <pleia2> only bkerensa will be partying in mt view, the rest of us will be at the ubuntu closing party ;)
[17:57] <bkerensa> pleia2: I will be there
[17:57] <bkerensa> but afterwards
[17:57] <bkerensa> straight to mtn view
[17:57] <philipballew> bkerensa, stop cloning yourself to do two things at once...
[17:58] <bkerensa> juju deploy more instances of me
[17:58] <philipballew> sudo apt-get purge bkerensa-clone*
[17:59] <DonkeyHotei> /ghost bkerensa
[17:59] <bkerensa> heh
[18:00] <itnet7> pleia2: you've probably been asked this 1000 times, but it's better to fly into SFO right?
[18:01] <philipballew> Oakland is good if you can, but might be more $
[18:01] <pleia2> itnet7: it tends to be cheaper
[18:01] <DonkeyHotei> OAK is closer than SFO but always costs more
[18:01] <pleia2> I'll fly OAK, SFO and even SJC depending on cost
[18:02] <DonkeyHotei> SFO is always cheapest, but check southwest air
[18:02] <philipballew> My favorite airport is reno.
[18:03] <DonkeyHotei> reno has an airport?
[18:03] <philipballew> yeah. I flew there to boston two years ago
[18:04] <DonkeyHotei> reno is doable from sac, but not from oakland
[18:04] <DonkeyHotei> just too far
[18:04] <bkerensa> Sac is horrible :P and I am a Sac Native
[18:04] <philipballew> only in nevada can you go to an airport and see slot machines on the tunnel from the terminal to airport
[18:04] <DonkeyHotei> bkerensa: just the airport, or in general?
[18:04] <philipballew> its way out there in woodland
[18:04] <bkerensa> or in the grocery stores
[18:05] <bkerensa> DonkeyHotei: In general :P I grew up one block away from the lead singer of Deftones :)
[18:05]  * bkerensa had no idea
[18:05] <bkerensa> we most have went to different schools
[18:05] <bkerensa> must*
[18:05] <philipballew> Placer high ftw!
[18:05] <DonkeyHotei> i don't know where the lead singer of Deftones lived
[18:06] <DonkeyHotei> i have lived in Sac twice in my life, and both times felt joy in returning to SF
[18:07] <bkerensa> DonkeyHotei: We both grew up in the wonderful neighborhood of Oak Park
[18:07] <bkerensa> ;)
[18:07] <DonkeyHotei> ugh
[18:07] <bkerensa> if you know what that is then you will know thats sarcasm
[18:07] <bkerensa> ;p
[18:07] <DonkeyHotei> oak park...
[18:07] <bkerensa> yes
[18:07]  * philipballew avoids oak park 
[18:07] <bkerensa> Drivebys.... and lots of gangs in the 80's and 90's
[18:07] <bkerensa> :P
[18:07] <philipballew> Its still the same iirc
[18:08] <bkerensa> I imagine so :P
[18:08] <bkerensa> I only lived there till the end of Elementary school though :P
[18:09] <philipballew> there is not much to do in that part of sac really
[18:09] <DonkeyHotei> nor any other part
[18:10] <philipballew> theyre adding a downtown arena. maybe that will boost downtown
[18:10] <philipballew> not that I watch basketball really though
[18:10] <philipballew> but best of luck to them
[18:10] <DonkeyHotei> downtown is full of more and more empty retail space
[18:11] <DonkeyHotei> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtAZ8jXYL-w indeed
[18:11] <bkerensa> DonkeyHotei: lies lies :P
[18:11] <bkerensa> Old Sac is always epic fun
[18:11] <DonkeyHotei> yes
[18:11] <DonkeyHotei> but that's about it
[18:12] <DonkeyHotei> there's never any other reason to go to sac
[18:12] <bkerensa> the river is nice too in the summer
[18:12] <bkerensa> :D
[18:12] <philipballew> I like the american river bike trail
[18:12] <DonkeyHotei> american river in summer is way too hot
[18:12] <bkerensa> notably though I have not been to the river there in uhh 20 years
[18:12] <bkerensa> :D
[18:12] <bkerensa> DonkeyHotei: thats why its epic
[18:12] <bkerensa> :D
[18:12] <bkerensa> no cold water.... lots of sun and lots of boats
[18:12] <philipballew> In Auburn, about 5-10 people die every year
[18:13] <philipballew> lately
[18:13] <bkerensa> of sun?
[18:13] <bkerensa> :D
[18:13] <DonkeyHotei> i went whitewater rafting on the american river the first time i lived in sac
[18:13] <philipballew> truckie has to get rid of its snow somehow :)
[18:13] <bkerensa> I mean I will not dispute the fact that Sac is pretty boring :)
[18:13] <DonkeyHotei> i think it was from folsom to northgate
[18:14] <bkerensa> wow
[18:14] <bkerensa> thats a long trip
[18:14] <bkerensa> Most of my friends and my cousins still go down to sac for beer floats
[18:14] <bkerensa> which I guess is when you have a bunch of rafts tied together and have cases of beer and kegs on board and yeah you get the idea
[18:14] <bkerensa> :D
[18:14] <DonkeyHotei> i no longer remember what the starting point was; i'm just guessing folsom
[18:15]  * akk envisions beer with ice cream, "beer floats"
[18:15] <bkerensa> akk: ewww
[18:15] <bkerensa> :P
[18:15] <pleia2> guinness floats happened at a pennsylvania release party once
[18:16] <pleia2> I preferred the irish carbombs at one of our lan parties myself
[18:16]  * bkerensa can barely drink beer as it is.... I usually end up giving away more beer then I drink :P
[18:16] <pleia2> (at least, what I remember of them :))
[18:16] <bkerensa> but a nice rum drink with pineapple juice or something :D
[18:17] <pleia2> http://gallery.ubuntupennsylvania.org/v/20080216/IMG_5095.JPG.html
[18:17] <pleia2> :)
[18:18] <bkerensa> yeah looks like trouble
[18:18] <bkerensa> :P
[18:19] <pleia2> I can't drink like that anymore
[18:19] <bkerensa> UC Davis has this fun drinking game.... You basically drink your favorite liquor and then you make a huge pot of spaghetti noodles and put mounds of it on plates.... then must eat with hands behind your back... first person to clear gets $100
[18:20] <pleia2> I was a skinny thing back then, but I outdrank most of the people at the party that night
[18:20] <bkerensa> LOL
[18:20] <bkerensa> :D
[18:21] <akk> bkerensa: So it's a drinking game as in "a game that doesn't involve alcohol except that you won't play it until you're already blasted"? :)
[18:21] <akk> (sounds fun to watch)
[18:22] <akk> Is there sauce on the spaghetti?
[18:22] <bkerensa> akk: yeah... I tried it around holidays last year with my cousin who is a aggie and uhh its not so fun
[18:22] <bkerensa> :P
[18:22] <bkerensa> no sauce
[18:22] <bkerensa> just plain noodles
[18:22] <bkerensa> and lots of jerrys rum
[18:22] <akk> With sauce it would be both more fun to watch, and tastier.
[18:22] <akk> (just not more fun to clean up after later)
[18:24] <DonkeyHotei> i don't see ice cream in that pic
[18:24] <pleia2> DonkeyHotei: those are the carbombs, not the guinness floats
[18:24] <DonkeyHotei> ok
[18:25] <bkerensa> pleia2: what is a carbomb?
[18:26] <itnet7> carbombs are awesome
[18:26] <itnet7> guiness mixed with bailey's I believe
[18:26] <pleia2> bkerensa: it varies, but ours were a shot of jack daniels dropped in a pint of guinness, then chugged
[18:26] <pleia2> baileys is the girly way ;)
[18:26] <bkerensa> uhh
[18:26] <bkerensa> :(
[18:26] <itnet7> :-)
[18:26] <bkerensa> I love the jack but guiness ;p
[18:26] <pleia2> you have to drink it fast otherwise it gets all weird
[18:27]  * bkerensa should bring some Mead down
[18:27] <itnet7> I'm sorry, it actually was guiness, bailey's, and Jameson
[18:27] <bkerensa> pleia2: have you had jagerbombs?
[18:27] <akk> Sounds kinda nasty either way, but nastier with Bailey's (and I love Bailey's).
[18:28] <itnet7> though it sounds good with Jack
[18:28] <bkerensa> that stuff makes me :x
[18:28] <itnet7> considering I haven't drank anything for @ a year or so now
[18:29] <itnet7> It doesn't do much for me either bkerensa
[18:29] <itnet7> :-)
[18:30] <itnet7> pleia2: there are some interesting geocaches nearby ;-)
[18:30] <bkerensa> imho liquor should never have a licorice or pine needle taste
[18:30] <bkerensa> :D
[18:30] <itnet7> The one at Alcatraz prison seems cool!
[18:30] <akk> A geocaching walk would be fun. I've never done that, but would love to tag along and see what it's like.
[18:30] <itnet7> akk: If I'm able to come over, we'll go!!
[18:31] <pleia2> bkerensa: nope
[18:31] <pleia2> itnet7 took me geocaching for my first time in budapest :)
[18:31] <itnet7> +1
[18:34] <itnet7> I think Paolo enjoyed it too
[18:35] <pleia2> even if he complained about walking
[18:36] <itnet7> yeah, lol
[20:52] <Darkwing> bkerensa: ping
[23:32] <Ttech> Miss me?! oh wait I was here the entire time. :(
[23:32] <Ttech> again
