| * silverlion knocks on the table | 21:12 | |
| pleia2 | anything we can help you with, silverlion? | 21:12 |
| silverlion | pleia2: that is just a german way to say hi | 21:13 |
| silverlion | am sorry if interupted something | 21:13 |
| pleia2 | not interrupting, just wanted to make sure you didn't need anything :) | 21:13 |
| silverlion | pleia2: i could need some assisting in creating ebooks, but that is all ^^ and guess nothing you could help me with, right? | 21:14 |
| pleia2 | nope, sorry | 21:14 |
| silverlion | thought so ^^ but if you like, you could read an article of mine about the work i do ^^ in the current Full Circle Magazine ;) | 21:17 |
| pleia2 | I've been writing for FCM for a few years (still do), so I read them | 21:19 |
| pleia2 | currently contributing the Xfce section of the Closing Windows series | 21:19 |
| pleia2 | and do Ubuntu Women columns when we have material for them | 21:20 |
| silverlion | pleia2: i know ;) | 21:20 |
| silverlion | i am converting them into the ebooks ;) | 21:20 |
| pleia2 | I know | 21:20 |
| bkerensa | silverlion: you know pleia2 is famous she is in the next issue of Ubuntu User! | 21:26 |
| bkerensa | :P | 21:26 |
| silverlion | bkerensa: well everyone what he / she deserves | 21:26 |
| * silverlion is happy to be a "small" light in the big community ... if you understand | 21:27 | |
| bkerensa | :D | 21:28 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa is famous, he wrote the feature article in the next issue of Ubuntu User! | 21:29 |
| silverlion | and what if i dont want to be famous? | 21:29 |
| pleia2 | we're just joking around :) | 21:29 |
| silverlion | pleia2: got that ;) | 21:30 |
| silverlion | pleia2: there are people who want to make me famous | 21:30 |
| silverlion | by telling the work I do for FCM is kinda art | 21:31 |
| pleia2 | I always wanted to be rich anyway, not famous | 21:31 |
| * pleia2 suddenly realizing that doing work with open source software was a lousy way to go about this ;) | 21:31 | |
| silverlion | pleia2: i ONLY use open source ... the only thing i payed for is the bad OS with the W in Front | 21:32 |
| silverlion | which i am using now because i am sitting in my corner | 21:32 |
| silverlion | not at my desk | 21:32 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: I prefer rich over fame but only if its rich enough to have an accountant full time to deal with taxes and pay people :P | 21:32 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: haha | 21:33 |
| bkerensa | doing the UU article likely made my taxes a bit more complicated this year | 21:33 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 21:33 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: yeah, I hear that | 21:33 |
| bkerensa | Well it depends... If they file a 1099-MISC which they are not required to unless its $600 then it could be more complicated | 21:33 |
| silverlion | bkerensa: why is that (if i may ask as an European with absolutely no idea of american taxes) | 21:33 |
| bkerensa | if not then it will be fine | 21:34 |
| bkerensa | silverlion: our tax system is overly complicated | 21:34 |
| bkerensa | :D | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | I moonlit as a technical reviewer one year, made about $1200, caused tax headaches (it was so much easier with just a W2!) | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | but now my fiance's taxes are so complicated we just send everything for both of us off to an accountant and let him worry about it | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | (he has a lot of investments and things via Google) | 21:35 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: yeah so when I get gadgets some companies do their duty and report to the IRS which is not fun because I get hit with paying tax on free tech gadgets | 21:35 |
| bkerensa | but some dont | 21:35 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 21:35 |
| bkerensa | it really depends on the value of the item... | 21:35 |
| * silverlion would love to come to the States (or even to an UDS) but financials does not approve that :( | 21:35 | |
| bkerensa | Dell gave me a laptop and never reported it or had me fill out paperwork | 21:35 |
| bkerensa | :P | 21:35 |
| pleia2 | woo $2000 free laptop..er, $200 $2000 laptop | 21:35 |
| bkerensa | funny they hit the UDS dell laptop winners :D | 21:35 |
| pleia2 | not surprising though | 21:36 |
| bkerensa | well yeah those ultrabooks are spendy I think | 21:36 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 21:36 |
| bkerensa | the Dell 14z I got was new and only priced at $689 I think | 21:36 |
| pleia2 | do you pay taxes in the state it was won? | 21:37 |
| pleia2 | /given/whatever | 21:37 |
| pleia2 | because california sales tax, ouch :) | 21:37 |
| bkerensa | My understanding is no | 21:37 |
| bkerensa | not unless I exceed $13000 in gifts | 21:37 |
| pleia2 | ah | 21:37 |
| bkerensa | then I pay 3% to 25% depending on how far over 13k | 21:38 |
