bkerensapleia2: do you think walking from Jack London Square to City Center would be safe enough?05:54
bkerensa:)05:54
pleia2I don't really know a whole lot about Oakland06:00
pleia2I've only gone there at night once, and it was a little scary :)06:00

pleia2nice06:06
bkerensaThey said we had to arrive by Sunday afternoon06:07
bkerensaso yeah thats the best I could do :D06:07
pleia2I 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
pleia2ideas 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 stuck06:09
bkerensalol06:09
bkerensa:D06:09

DonkeyHoteiah16:29
DonkeyHoteibkerensa: just in case you haven't found it, http://www.sf-lug.com/16:59
bkerensakk17:01
akkIs 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
pleia2unfortunately not17:03
DonkeyHoteii hadn't thought of that when i imported the ical file into google calendar17:03
akkOkay, I won't bother reading beyond Wednesday morning for now.17:03
DonkeyHoteii marked "attending" sessions only for monday17:03
* bkerensa has checked many attendings but there is the possibility for changes on the fly17:14
bkerensa:D17:14
akkI checked some attendings but then I started getting irrelevant email and wondered why I was checking things.17:15
bkerensa;017:15
pleia2nice day out today :)17:15
bkerensaYeah I hear 80's tomorrow and 70's for the rest of the week17:25
akkCool and windy here so far this morning.17:26
pleia2in the mid 60s and sunny here so far17:27
akkHere 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 days17:28
bkerensaok everyone see you in Oakland... I am on my way out the door18:21
bkerensaBon Voyage18:21
pleia2have a safe trip :)18:21
DonkeyHoteiwhat, is he leaving oregon only now?18:22
akkSure, sounds about right to me.18:23
akkA relaxed 2-day trip or a long 1-day trip followed by time to decompress.18:24
DonkeyHoteii thought he was already here18:24
MarkDudehttp://makerfaire.com/bayarea/2012/19:20
MarkDude2 weeks, who is going? Maker Faire Bay Area May 19 & 20, 201219:21
akkOh, 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
akkI may head out of town to get closer to the centerline, not sure yet.19:37
DonkeyHoteii don't want to spend the money19:40
MarkDude$15 for one day?19:58
MarkDudePack a lunch19:58
DonkeyHoteinot that interesting atm19:58
MarkDudeOk, well dont go19:58
MarkDude:P19:58
MarkDudeOne of these days Im haiving a Beefy Miracle Geeknic19:59
MarkDudeMaybe that will be interesting19:59
DonkeyHoteithat i'd go to20:01
MarkDudecool20:01
guaty bkerensa and pleia220:14
gua"Please specify the group or Company you are representing" hmm20:24
akkAgreed, DonkeyHotei, it is expensive.20:25
akkgua: "self" ?20:26
DonkeyHoteii put Ubuntu20:26
guaakk: I was thinking that, but "I will be representing myself" sounds kind of big-ego-ish heh. But yeah that sounds good.20:27
akkI usually put * or . or something on forms that are rude enough to insist.20:29
guahaha20:29
akkBut self is a pretty standard thing to put.20:29
guaah, good to know20:30
akkI 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
akkOr there's always World, or The Universe, or Humanity. :)20:30
akkor Every Decent-Thinking Person.20:30
guaYeah I gotta have some backup custom company names for things like this20:33
guaGlobal TechBioCompuQuad20:34
akkI've seen worse ... on real companies. :)20:35
gua(definitely not to be confused with Local TechBioCompuQuad)20:35
guaYeahh, for kind of smaller companies their names can get so bad20:36
akkSo 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
akkGlobal Innovative Solutions, Inc. Things like that.20:37
guaHah 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
guaWoo success "UDS Registration: CONFIRMATION"20:39
akkHmm, I don't think I ever got one of those. Should I worry?20:39
akkIs it email?20:39
akkCan I check whether I'm registered on launchpad or somewhere?20:40
guaakk: If you got forwarded to launchpad.net it has it as some kind of a sprint thing21:04
guaakk: And I don't think you should worry since it just says email if you want to change any part of your registration info21:05
guaAnd yeah it was an email21:05
akkBut now you have me wondering -- if I show up and they say I'm not preregistered, is it a problem?21:06
MarkDudeNope21:07
MarkDudeJust means you may not get a shirt21:07
guaThat 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 it21:07
akkAh, there's an email address to contact if I didn't receive the registration mail.21:07
* akk mails it21:07
guaOh nice, I was wondering if the size question meant I'd get a shirt :D21:07
MarkDudeits nice to, but not needed- technically21:07
MarkDudeEspecially since you are akk21:08
MarkDudeYour name proceeeds you  ;)21:08
MarkDudeYours is positive,21:08
* MarkDude 's is more oh, that a**hole21:08
MarkDude:D21:08
MarkDudelet em in21:09
guaBetter to be known than not known :P21:09
MarkDudeWell that I am, but not maybe what I would like to be for21:09
akkI doubt the UDS establishment has a clue who I am. :)21:09
DonkeyHoteidoes it matter?21:10
* MarkDude is willing to take bet you have a high recogintion akk, at least for your blog21:10
MarkDudeSn9, no of course it does not, Everyone that helps out is helpful, and part of a team :)21:11
akkThe registration page says you have to register.21:11
akkThere seem to be lots of different registration pages, though ... I probably used the wrong one.21:11
guaOf course it would21:11
guaHm21:11
guaI used https://forms.canonical.com/udsreg/21:12
DonkeyHoteii used the link from http://uds.ubuntu.com21:12
guaFor me that one forwarded to the canonical.com link21:13
guaClicking the button that is21:13
MarkDudeIts more fun to go to an event, and act like Ron Burgundy21:15
akkI used http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/ but I got different forms the two times I went to it21:15
MarkDudeDo you know who I am , Idont know how to say this, but Im kindof important :D21:16
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 Miracle21:16
MarkDudeI just said I was already here, and leaving in dec21:17
akkOn pleia2's suggestion I copied the times from https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-q for my arrival/departure times21:18
akkeven though I'm not really sure even what that page is :)21:18
guaakk: It might be you selected "remote" one time and "in person" in the other21:19
guaThe calendar only shows up if you do the in person one.21:19
akkI don't think it ever presented me with either of those options.21:19
akkIt may have jumped to conclusions based on somethingorother.21:20
guaI just said I'd arrive two days before it began and arrive two days after in the afternoon each time21:20
akkI'm sure I never chose "remote" ... and anyway, if I were remote why would I need a passport number?21:20
guaRemote is the default one21:20
guaNot sure about passport, only field like that I saw was a thing asking if you needed a visa or not to attend21:21
akkAh, passport expiry date, not number (checking my logs).21:21
akkAnyway, the registration form pretty clearly doesn't like me at all and doesn't want me to go to UDS.21:22
akkHopefully Marianna will feel differently.21:22
bkerensa-droid:)23:00
DonkeyHoteibkerensa-droid: where are you now?23:01
bkerensa-droidUhh on tracks in fields somewhere23:01
DonkeyHoteiwhat?23:02
bkerensa-droidAbout two hours south of portland but Amtrak is travelling  way offthe beaten path23:02
DonkeyHoteiah23:03
DonkeyHoteiwhen is your arrival? i'm assuming you're getting off in either oakland or emeryville23:03
bkerensa-droidI arrive in Oakland at 8:30 eta23:04
bkerensa-droidOmg llamas23:04
pleia2llamas live off the beaten path?23:04
bkerensa-droidTrain just passed a huge llama farm23:04
pleia2hehe23:04
* pleia2 adds llama item in pluses "reasons to go to portland by train"23:05
pleia2+column23:05
bkerensa-droidIm apparently neat a town called Wren23:06
bkerensa-droidPleia2: so far this has been a fun trip23:07
bkerensa-droidBbl23:09
Darkwingpleia2: are you commuting back and forth daily for UDS?23:52
DonkeyHoteiwhy wouldn't she be? it's about five minutes by rail23:55
DonkeyHoteiok, maybe ten23:55
DonkeyHoteiexactly three stops23:55
DonkeyHoteishe'd get on at montgomery, next stop is embarcadero, next is west oakland, and then she'd get off at 12th street23:56
