MarkDude | pleia2, we ask for some books, they gave me the rundown | 00:12 |
---|---|---|
MarkDude | Its best to ask for a few too many, there are a few that they cant give based on how new they are, how many left, etc | 00:12 |
MarkDude | The proof they need it a mailing list, or other way to see the group has more than 8-10 people. | 00:13 |
MarkDude | Basically- a lead from a team has to talk to them OR the lead says - talk to this person they are the book person. | 00:14 |
MarkDude | paulproteus, may be a good person to ask for suggestions on books good for tech in general. | 00:16 |
MarkDude | pleia2, the last part of it, is they would like folks to review the books, that helps them. | 00:16 |
* MarkDude has only reviewed the ones he liked | 00:17 | |
* paulproteus waves | 00:17 | |
MarkDude | Hey paulproteus June 23rd Heather Farms | 00:17 |
paulproteus | Still on my calendar; looks like 75% chance I'll make it | 00:17 |
MarkDude | We will take that, better than no chance :) | 00:34 |
bkerensa | MarkDude: have you been to lucky labs ever? | 00:41 |
MarkDude | Not that I know of bkerensa | 01:08 |
bkerensa | MarkDude: will have to take u when u come... they have home made ginger ale, root beer and beer :D | 01:09 |
MarkDude | Sounds good. We will see what we can do | 01:10 |

MarkDude | Still need to sort out funding - for made up Distro placing | 01:10 |
bkerensa | ? | 01:10 |
bkerensa | what do you mean? | 01:10 |
MarkDude | Well we were looking at funding this year like we did last | 01:17 |
MarkDude | NOt sure how they will proceed | 01:17 |

philipballew | So I went down the hill today | 02:00 |
philipballew | Stopped at Frys | 02:00 |
MarkDude | news? | 02:00 |
philipballew | They do in fact have a Ubuntu pc there | 02:00 |
philipballew | Its runnuing xmbc or whatever it is called as the main attraction | 02:01 |
philipballew | but has unity and all. | 02:01 |
akk | cool! | 02:01 |
akk | What is xmbc? I couldn't tell from the web page. | 02:01 |
philipballew | I felt bad for them as the account your logged in has sudo access | 02:02 |
philipballew | password is frys | 02:02 |
philipballew | got it on first try with a sudo su command | 02:02 |
philipballew | akk, its a media player front end | 02:02 |
philipballew | Ill be posting pictures in my blog tonight probably | 02:03 |
philipballew | if I can find the time | 02:03 |
MarkDude | password frys= awesome | 02:04 |
akk | haha | 02:05 |
philipballew | I wanted to see what the manager would say to that and he tole me I was wrong. | 02:05 |
philipballew | no sir, I use Ubuntu and you do not... | 02:06 |
philipballew | its 11.10 | 02:07 |
philipballew | so new enough | 02:07 |
akk | He said you were wrong about what? | 02:10 |
philipballew | the password. I wanted to see what his response would be. | 02:11 |
philipballew | Overall they know it was ubuntu and know ubuntu was linux | 02:12 |
philipballew | so that seems good to me | 02:12 |
DonkeyHotei | just to be clear: what was the point of doing all that? | 02:12 |
akk | That's nice (and surprising) that they know the words ubuntu and linux. | 02:13 |
philipballew | Because we can I guess | 02:21 |
philipballew | the manager there said he has tried it and knows about it. | 02:21 |
philipballew | The bok has a ubuntu circle logo on it as well. | 02:21 |
philipballew | *box | 02:22 |
akk | Nice to see an ubuntu box sold in a mainstream place, even if it's billed as a special-purpose machine. | 02:24 |
scientes | philipballew, if you had sudo why didn't you fix it yourself | 03:18 |
philipballew | scientes, figured since it was not mine, they might get mad | 03:28 |
DonkeyHotei | sounds like that happened anyway | 03:28 |
philipballew | They were happy. They showed me it, and were happy to have me look at it. The size is nice and compact | 03:31 |
philipballew | its one of those small desktops | 03:31 |
philipballew | would make a good home server maybe | 03:31 |
r3d64r_ | maas can be so annoying ! | 08:05 |
philipballew | r3d64r_, how so? | 08:40 |
