[00:01] <MarkDude> akk, sad to hear on that car, it looks like it can be much fun
[00:01] <MarkDude> If its working that is
[00:01] <akk> Oddly enough, it's fun even with problems!
[00:02] <akk> It's just going to be a much more expensive car than I originally thought. :(
[01:36] <pleia2> Ubuntu CDs!
[01:37] <akk> \o/
[01:38] <akk> Though I'm surprised they don't just hand them over in person at UDS.
[01:38] <akk> (oh, I guess then you'd have to carry them all, though)
[01:39] <pleia2> they don't really coordinate so precisely anyway :)
[01:47] <greg-g> get it?! precisely!
[01:48] <pleia2> I hate precise :)
[01:53] <akk> I hate it as a name for a release.
[01:53] <akk> The release itself seems to be working pretty well (knock silicon).
[01:54] <pleia2> ah yes, the release itself is nice
[01:54] <pleia2> upgraded my mini9 today (from lucid!), Xubuntu
[01:54] <pleia2> bumped into a couple known bugs, but mostly went well :)
[01:55] <akk> That's great, that an upgrade from lucid works well (I know it's supposed to, but still nice to hear it does :)
[01:55] <akk> d has been struggling with getting an updated ubuntu on a chromebook today and not having much luck.
[01:55] <pleia2> they don't actually recommend it until 12.04.1, once that's released the update manager will finally tell you to upgrade
[01:56] <pleia2> s/released/release
[01:56] <pleia2> no, I had it right the first time
[01:56] <akk> Ah! I wondered why he was doing oneiric first.
[01:57] <pleia2> lts to lts I mean
[01:57] <akk> My pangolin here is a clean install, because my attempt at copying the ocelot over to a new partition to upgrade it resulted in badness.
[01:57]  * akk is trying to buck tradition and use the good animal names instead of the stupid adjectives
[01:58] <pleia2> hehe
[01:58] <pleia2> there is a guy on the ubuntu planet who is terribly annoyed that people use any part of the code names at all after releaes
[01:58] <akk> and I refuse to say things like "I'm running precise" and then have to explain them
[01:58] <pleia2> "it's not precise pangolin anymore, it's 12.04!"
[01:58] <pleia2> yeah yeah :)
[01:58] <akk> That's no fun!
[01:58] <pleia2> agreed!
[01:58] <akk> Though the adjectives aren't that much fun either. Animals are fun (as I'm sure you'd agree).
[01:59] <pleia2> :)
[01:59] <akk> I can sort of sympathize with people who want to see the numbers -- I know I get terribly confused when people talk about MacOS trying to remember if leopard was earlier or later than tiger
[02:00] <akk> and Ubuntu is the one OS that uses the sensible rule of using the year, so you actually know when it was.
[02:00] <pleia2> at least we're going in alphabetical order
[02:01] <akk> Yes, that's also sensible.
[02:01] <akk> I really like both those things about Ubuntu naming.
[03:02] <philipballew> pleia2, I assume I can just pick up some cd's from you in oak?
[03:03] <pleia2> philipballew: I suggest picking up some being given out by Canonical at UDS ;)
[03:03] <pleia2> if you need more beyond that I'll ship some down
[03:03] <philipballew> pleia2, sounds good. I can just pick those up
[03:03] <philipballew> are they all 32 bit again this year>
[03:03] <philipballew> ?
[03:03] <pleia2> the desktop ones are 32 bit, server are 64
[03:04] <philipballew> nice!
[03:04]  * philipballew high fives pleia2 
[03:07] <pleia2> ^5
[03:12] <bkerensa> California Dreamin
[03:12] <bkerensa> :D
[03:17] <pleia2> wow, they have formal events every evening
[03:20] <philipballew> ca is a very formal state
[03:20] <pleia2> lol
[03:35] <philipballew> pleia2, does uds have a dress code?
[03:36] <philipballew> I mean I knows its ca, so I can wear rainbows probably, buy I should probably check
[03:39] <pleia2> they wouldn't take kindly to nudests
[03:40] <pleia2> but otherwise you should be fine
[03:41] <akk> The dress code is: you should be dressed.
[03:42] <pleia2> I just wear t-shirt and jeans
[03:42] <akk> Preferably with some sort of linuxy slogan on the t-shirt. :)
[03:43] <akk> And ubuntu earrings, of course!
[03:43] <pleia2> :)
[03:43] <pleia2> I'll have some for sale with me
[03:43] <philipballew> my ears closed up a while ago, I used to have them open.
[03:44] <philipballew> maybe I need a new excuse!
[03:45] <philipballew> pleia2, How much are they. It would make some good gifts as well.
[03:45] <pleia2> $20
[03:45] <pleia2> and $10 of that goes to partimus.org (linux in schools!)
[03:46] <philipballew> We do need that
[03:48] <philipballew> So I keep hearing all this noise about ea games coming there.
[03:48] <philipballew> Not that I really play video games, but apparently they are a big company...
[05:03] <MarkDude> Anyone else for A's game thurs with some FOSS folks?
[05:04] <philipballew> MarkDude, totally down
[05:07] <MarkDude> Cool
[05:08]  * MarkDude thinks we have like 7
[05:08] <MarkDude> I will go ahead and get 8
[05:08] <MarkDude> and get more during next week as needed
[05:08] <philipballew> how much per ticket?
[05:08] <MarkDude> $4
[05:09] <MarkDude> costs $2 on wed
[05:09] <philipballew> shoot, in that case i should buy two for a leg rest
[05:09] <philipballew> the weekend series is gonna be fun as well
[05:10] <philipballew> there has never been a baseball Ive gone to where i did not have a good time.. should be fun!
[05:12] <MarkDude> It is lots of fun
[05:12] <philipballew> yeah, I plan to go to several a's games this summer
[05:12] <MarkDude> Cool
[05:12] <MarkDude> If you make it on a day when its not full
[05:12] <MarkDude> most days
[05:13] <MarkDude> I can sneak you down to the best seats
[05:13] <MarkDude> right behind the dugout
[05:13] <MarkDude> players can sign there
[05:13] <philipballew> Id totally be down for that.
[05:15] <MarkDude> No doubt
[05:15] <MarkDude> Baseball rocks
[05:16] <philipballew> Seriously. Its like a giant saga played out daily for all to watch. Almost poetic
[05:17]  * philipballew is off to pretend to care about his last day of sophomore year tomorrow
[06:15] <philipballew> pleia2, when ive had to brush my cats teeth, it takes some force. It's almost as if you have to show to mercy. Its not fun...
[06:15] <pleia2> :\
[06:16] <pleia2> the vet showed us how with a finger, but she's so terrified at the vet that she's immobile cat ball
[06:16] <pleia2> at home she is all wiggle wiggle
[06:16] <philipballew> yeah, We used two people. One to hole my cat down, and them other to brush.
[06:17] <philipballew> cats are used to their comfort zone probably I guess...
[06:17] <pleia2> yeah, that's what we did on tuesday, it still didn't work very well :)
[06:17] <pleia2> yeah
[06:17] <philipballew> The cat's hate you for doing that to them.
[06:17] <pleia2> fortunately she is forgiving
[06:18] <pleia2> we also give her fluids under the skin ever other day
[06:19] <philipballew> That sounds hard. Is she happier then she used to be?
[06:19] <philipballew> http://imagebin.org/210911
[06:19] <pleia2> it was scary at first, but it's actually not too bad once everyone involved gets used to it
[06:19] <philipballew> ^for anyone wondering
[06:19] <pleia2> aww kitties :)
[06:19] <philipballew> the black one is boo, and the other one is chubbs :)
[06:20] <philipballew> What is the real issue behind your cat?
[06:21] <pleia2> kidney failure :(
[06:21] <pleia2> not sure what caused it, the vet thinks it was an undiagnoised urinary tract infection gone awry
[06:22] <philipballew> SHe must have a good doctor. She is on a list I assume?
[06:23] <pleia2> they don't have lists, when the doctors feel she's ready for a transplant they work with a shelter
[06:23] <pleia2> you then adopt the shelter cat who gave a kidney
[06:23] <pleia2> (studies show the risk is pretty low for the donor cat, and like humans they can live with one kidney)
[06:24] <pleia2> but she's very young (5 years old) and is responding well to treatment, so we're not at that point yet :)
[06:31] <philipballew> looks like pleia2 gets a new cat out of this!
[14:45] <bkerensa> hmm
