bkerensa | pleia2: do you think walking from Jack London Square to City Center would be safe enough? | 05:54 |
---|---|---|
bkerensa | :) | 05:54 |
pleia2 | I don't really know a whole lot about Oakland | 06:00 |
pleia2 | I've only gone there at night once, and it was a little scary :) | 06:00 |
* pleia2 usually goes during the day | 06:00 | |
pleia2 | I think daytime is probably fine though | 06:01 |
bkerensa | ok | 06:03 |
* bkerensa was going to catch AC Transit but I got two suitcases so I dont think that will work well ;p | 06:04 | |
pleia2 | heh, yeah, that would be fun | 06:04 |
pleia2 | coming in Sunday? | 06:05 |
bkerensa | pleia2: Yeah should be in at Amtrak by 8am | 06:06 |
pleia2 | nice | 06:06 |
bkerensa | They said we had to arrive by Sunday afternoon | 06:07 |
bkerensa | so yeah thats the best I could do :D | 06:07 |
pleia2 | I usually wandered in in the evening, generally can't check in until 3PM anyway and there aren't planned events on Sunday for community people (Canonical usually has an event) | 06:08 |
pleia2 | ideas have been floated for an event that evening for community people since it ends up being a little awkward to show up and have nothing to do, but nothing really stuck | 06:09 |
bkerensa | lol | 06:09 |
bkerensa | :D | 06:09 |
bkerensa | well I have friends in Oakland and SF so I'm sure ill find something to do | 06:10 |
pleia2 | yeah :) | 06:10 |
bkerensa | I just hope I can talk the hotel into storing my luggage until check-in | 06:10 |
pleia2 | shouldn't be a problem | 06:10 |
bkerensa | good stuff :) lugging it around SF wouldnt be so fun | 06:10 |
pleia2 | haha, yeah | 06:10 |
bkerensa | I think ill use the opportunity to go to Chinatown and try to find to Coconut Candy for my grandmother | 06:11 |
bkerensa | :) | 06:11 |
pleia2 | there you go :) | 06:11 |
pleia2 | I'll be wandering around with some people on Sunday, gonna try to get someone to go on the cable car with me | 06:13 |
pleia2 | I mean, take some visitors on the cable car | 06:13 |

philipballew | gua, have you tried turning it off and on again? | 08:05 |
gua | philipballew: i need to break into the canonical.com datacenter to do that | 08:06 |

gua | i gotta print out the sessions and check off what i want to make sure to attende | 08:13 |
philipballew | yeah, where you live? | 08:14 |

gua | dangit there are a ton of neat tracks going on at the same time | 08:15 |
philipballew | gua, nice. Ive never been there. | 08:19 |
gua | it's pretty nice. a really packed downtown with a ton of stores/restaurants. | 08:20 |
philipballew | I grew up in auburn. opposite | 08:21 |

philipballew | no, i just check in them | 08:26 |
gua | hm http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/ says monday to friday | 08:31 |

gua | alright about late enough, gnite | 08:34 |
philipballew | whooo!!! two hours of sleep!!!! | 14:16 |
bkerensa | hi philipballew | 16:07 |
bkerensa | :D | 16:07 |
bkerensa | gua: I let Canonical's sysadmins know yesterday | 16:07 |
bkerensa | :P | 16:07 |
bkerensa | philipballew: on Sunday we have to find informal fun stuff to do | 16:08 |
* bkerensa will be heading to Chinatown in SF if you car to attach :D | 16:08 | |
pleia2 | gua: there aren't super secret days, philip is getting there early because he's traveling to attend, so needs somewhere to sleep before monday morning :) | 16:11 |
pleia2 | well, there are sprints that Canonical employees do before UDS, but that's not for us | 16:11 |
DonkeyHotei | are there any uds-related-in-any-way events today or tomorrow? | 16:13 |
pleia2 | nope | 16:13 |
DonkeyHotei | ok | 16:15 |
bkerensa | DonkeyHotei: not officially | 16:16 |
bkerensa | But if anyone wants to tag along to SF Chinatown or something I am going tomorrow | 16:16 |
DonkeyHotei | SF-LUG is tomorrow | 16:19 |
DonkeyHotei | if anyone is looking for an unofficial event, idk what would be more fitting | 16:20 |
bkerensa | DonkeyHotei: where is it held at? | 16:21 |
DonkeyHotei | 26th & geary | 16:21 |
bkerensa | Hmm | 16:21 |
bkerensa | Maybe I will come | 16:22 |
bkerensa | doesnt the 38 Muni go up there? | 16:22 |
DonkeyHotei | yes | 16:22 |
bkerensa | Mmm and there is Chinese Food and Indian across the street | 16:22 |
DonkeyHotei | i don't think they allow outside food | 16:25 |
bkerensa | Oh I mean after :D | 16:27 |
bkerensa | or Before | 16:27 |
DonkeyHotei | ah | 16:29 |
DonkeyHotei | bkerensa: just in case you haven't found it, http://www.sf-lug.com/ | 16:59 |
bkerensa | kk | 17:01 |
akk | Is there any way to track changes to the UDS schedule? Like, if I go through the schedule now and figure out what I want to go to, how do I find out if something new gets added or something gets moved? | 17:02 |
pleia2 | unfortunately not | 17:03 |
DonkeyHotei | i hadn't thought of that when i imported the ical file into google calendar | 17:03 |
akk | Okay, I won't bother reading beyond Wednesday morning for now. | 17:03 |
DonkeyHotei | i marked "attending" sessions only for monday | 17:03 |
* bkerensa has checked many attendings but there is the possibility for changes on the fly | 17:14 | |
bkerensa | :D | 17:14 |
akk | I checked some attendings but then I started getting irrelevant email and wondered why I was checking things. | 17:15 |
bkerensa | ;0 | 17:15 |
pleia2 | nice day out today :) | 17:15 |
bkerensa | Yeah I hear 80's tomorrow and 70's for the rest of the week | 17:25 |
akk | Cool and windy here so far this morning. | 17:26 |
pleia2 | in the mid 60s and sunny here so far | 17:27 |
akk | Here too, but for San Jose that's pretty cool ... especially with the chilly wind. | 17:27 |
* akk is spoiled after a few really nice spring days | 17:28 | |
bkerensa | ok everyone see you in Oakland... I am on my way out the door | 18:21 |
bkerensa | Bon Voyage | 18:21 |
pleia2 | have a safe trip :) | 18:21 |
DonkeyHotei | what, is he leaving oregon only now? | 18:22 |
akk | Sure, sounds about right to me. | 18:23 |
akk | A relaxed 2-day trip or a long 1-day trip followed by time to decompress. | 18:24 |
DonkeyHotei | i thought he was already here | 18:24 |
MarkDude | http://makerfaire.com/bayarea/2012/ | 19:20 |
MarkDude | 2 weeks, who is going? Maker Faire Bay Area May 19 & 20, 2012 | 19:21 |
akk | Oh, wow, Maker Faire is during the eclipse? Wonder if they're going to have people hanging around and watching it. (Sunday afternoon, starts at 5:17.) | 19:37 |
akk | I may head out of town to get closer to the centerline, not sure yet. | 19:37 |
DonkeyHotei | i don't want to spend the money | 19:40 |
MarkDude | $15 for one day? | 19:58 |
MarkDude | Pack a lunch | 19:58 |
DonkeyHotei | not that interesting atm | 19:58 |
MarkDude | Ok, well dont go | 19:58 |
MarkDude | :P | 19:58 |
MarkDude | One of these days Im haiving a Beefy Miracle Geeknic | 19:59 |
MarkDude | Maybe that will be interesting | 19:59 |
DonkeyHotei | that i'd go to | 20:01 |
MarkDude | cool | 20:01 |
gua | ty bkerensa and pleia2 | 20:14 |
gua | "Please specify the group or Company you are representing" hmm | 20:24 |
akk | Agreed, DonkeyHotei, it is expensive. | 20:25 |
akk | gua: "self" ? | 20:26 |
DonkeyHotei | i put Ubuntu | 20:26 |
gua | akk: I was thinking that, but "I will be representing myself" sounds kind of big-ego-ish heh. But yeah that sounds good. | 20:27 |
akk | I usually put * or . or something on forms that are rude enough to insist. | 20:29 |
gua | haha | 20:29 |
akk | But self is a pretty standard thing to put. | 20:29 |
gua | ah, good to know | 20:30 |
akk | I have a couple of fake company names I use if a form absolutely insists on a company name and doesn't accept punctuation. | 20:30 |
akk | Or there's always World, or The Universe, or Humanity. :) | 20:30 |
akk | or Every Decent-Thinking Person. | 20:30 |
gua | Yeah I gotta have some backup custom company names for things like this | 20:33 |
gua | Global TechBioCompuQuad | 20:34 |
akk | I've seen worse ... on real companies. :) | 20:35 |
gua | (definitely not to be confused with Local TechBioCompuQuad) | 20:35 |
gua | Yeahh, for kind of smaller companies their names can get so bad | 20:36 |
akk | So many startups pick a name that's super general ... people think "I want a company, and I don't really care what it does" and name accordingly. | 20:36 |
akk | Global Innovative Solutions, Inc. Things like that. | 20:37 |
gua | Hah that's pretty bad. Well whenver I've gotten into the depths of trying to come up with a name I liked for something, I do notice that if I wasn't so used to "Google" or "Amazon" and similar I probably wouldn't think they're very good names. | 20:38 |
gua | Woo success "UDS Registration: CONFIRMATION" | 20:39 |
akk | Hmm, I don't think I ever got one of those. Should I worry? | 20:39 |
akk | Is it email? | 20:39 |
akk | Can I check whether I'm registered on launchpad or somewhere? | 20:40 |
gua | akk: If you got forwarded to launchpad.net it has it as some kind of a sprint thing | 21:04 |
gua | akk: And I don't think you should worry since it just says email if you want to change any part of your registration info | 21:05 |
gua | And yeah it was an email | 21:05 |
akk | But now you have me wondering -- if I show up and they say I'm not preregistered, is it a problem? | 21:06 |
MarkDude | Nope | 21:07 |
MarkDude | Just means you may not get a shirt | 21:07 |
gua | That I don't know. I'm not even 100% that you have to register but there's lots of language on the UDS site that encourages registering, so I went ahead and di it | 21:07 |
akk | Ah, there's an email address to contact if I didn't receive the registration mail. | 21:07 |
* akk mails it | 21:07 | |
gua | Oh nice, I was wondering if the size question meant I'd get a shirt :D | 21:07 |
MarkDude | its nice to, but not needed- technically | 21:07 |
MarkDude | Especially since you are akk | 21:08 |
MarkDude | Your name proceeeds you ;) | 21:08 |
MarkDude | Yours is positive, | 21:08 |
* MarkDude 's is more oh, that a**hole | 21:08 | |
MarkDude | :D | 21:08 |
MarkDude | let em in | 21:09 |
gua | Better to be known than not known :P | 21:09 |
MarkDude | Well that I am, but not maybe what I would like to be for | 21:09 |
akk | I doubt the UDS establishment has a clue who I am. :) | 21:09 |
DonkeyHotei | does it matter? | 21:10 |
* MarkDude is willing to take bet you have a high recogintion akk, at least for your blog | 21:10 | |
MarkDude | Sn9, no of course it does not, Everyone that helps out is helpful, and part of a team :) | 21:11 |
akk | The registration page says you have to register. | 21:11 |
akk | There seem to be lots of different registration pages, though ... I probably used the wrong one. | 21:11 |
gua | Of course it would | 21:11 |
gua | Hm | 21:11 |
gua | I used https://forms.canonical.com/udsreg/ | 21:12 |
DonkeyHotei | i used the link from http://uds.ubuntu.com | 21:12 |
gua | For me that one forwarded to the canonical.com link | 21:13 |
gua | Clicking the button that is | 21:13 |
MarkDude | Its more fun to go to an event, and act like Ron Burgundy | 21:15 |
akk | I used http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/ but I got different forms the two times I went to it | 21:15 |
MarkDude | Do you know who I am , Idont know how to say this, but Im kindof important :D | 21:16 |
akk | (the first time I got a form that had mandatory fields like flight arrival times and passport number, second time it didn't have those) | 21:16 |
* MarkDude hopes his badge says company:Beefy Miracle | 21:16 | |
MarkDude | I just said I was already here, and leaving in dec | 21:17 |
akk | On pleia2's suggestion I copied the times from https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-q for my arrival/departure times | 21:18 |
akk | even though I'm not really sure even what that page is :) | 21:18 |
gua | akk: It might be you selected "remote" one time and "in person" in the other | 21:19 |
gua | The calendar only shows up if you do the in person one. | 21:19 |
akk | I don't think it ever presented me with either of those options. | 21:19 |
akk | It may have jumped to conclusions based on somethingorother. | 21:20 |
gua | I just said I'd arrive two days before it began and arrive two days after in the afternoon each time | 21:20 |
akk | I'm sure I never chose "remote" ... and anyway, if I were remote why would I need a passport number? | 21:20 |
gua | Remote is the default one | 21:20 |
gua | Not sure about passport, only field like that I saw was a thing asking if you needed a visa or not to attend | 21:21 |
akk | Ah, passport expiry date, not number (checking my logs). | 21:21 |
akk | Anyway, the registration form pretty clearly doesn't like me at all and doesn't want me to go to UDS. | 21:22 |
akk | Hopefully Marianna will feel differently. | 21:22 |
bkerensa-droid | :) | 23:00 |
DonkeyHotei | bkerensa-droid: where are you now? | 23:01 |
bkerensa-droid | Uhh on tracks in fields somewhere | 23:01 |
DonkeyHotei | what? | 23:02 |
bkerensa-droid | About two hours south of portland but Amtrak is travelling way offthe beaten path | 23:02 |
DonkeyHotei | ah | 23:03 |
DonkeyHotei | when is your arrival? i'm assuming you're getting off in either oakland or emeryville | 23:03 |
bkerensa-droid | I arrive in Oakland at 8:30 eta | 23:04 |
bkerensa-droid | Omg llamas | 23:04 |
pleia2 | llamas live off the beaten path? | 23:04 |
bkerensa-droid | Train just passed a huge llama farm | 23:04 |
pleia2 | hehe | 23:04 |
* pleia2 adds llama item in pluses "reasons to go to portland by train" | 23:05 | |
pleia2 | +column | 23:05 |
bkerensa-droid | Im apparently neat a town called Wren | 23:06 |
bkerensa-droid | Pleia2: so far this has been a fun trip | 23:07 |
bkerensa-droid | Bbl | 23:09 |
Darkwing | pleia2: are you commuting back and forth daily for UDS? | 23:52 |
DonkeyHotei | why wouldn't she be? it's about five minutes by rail | 23:55 |
DonkeyHotei | ok, maybe ten | 23:55 |
DonkeyHotei | exactly three stops | 23:55 |
DonkeyHotei | she'd get on at montgomery, next stop is embarcadero, next is west oakland, and then she'd get off at 12th street | 23:56 |
