MarkDudepleia2, we ask for some books, they gave me the rundown00:12
MarkDudeIts 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, etc00:12
MarkDudeThe proof they need it a mailing list, or other way to see the group has more than 8-10 people.00:13
MarkDudeBasically- 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
MarkDudepaulproteus, may be a good person to ask for suggestions on books good for tech in general.00:16
MarkDudepleia2, 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 liked00:17

philipballewSo I went down the hill today02:00
philipballewStopped at Frys02:00
MarkDudenews?02:00
philipballewThey do in fact have a Ubuntu pc there02:00
philipballewIts runnuing xmbc or whatever it is called as the main attraction02:01
philipballewbut has unity and all.02:01
akkcool!02:01
akkWhat is xmbc? I couldn't tell from the web page.02:01
philipballewI felt bad for them as the account your logged in has sudo access02:02
philipballewpassword is frys02:02
philipballewgot it on first try with a sudo su command02:02
philipballewakk, its a media player front end02:02
philipballewIll be posting pictures in my blog tonight probably02:03
philipballewif I can find the time02:03
MarkDudepassword frys= awesome02:04
akkhaha02:05
philipballewI wanted to see what the manager would say to that and he tole me I was wrong.02:05
philipballewno sir, I use Ubuntu and you do not...02:06
philipballewits 11.1002:07
philipballewso new enough02:07
akkHe said you were wrong about what?02:10
philipballewthe password. I wanted to see what his response would be.02:11
philipballewOverall they know it was ubuntu and know ubuntu was linux02:12
philipballewso that seems good to me02:12
DonkeyHoteijust to be clear: what was the point of doing all that?02:12
akkThat's nice (and surprising) that they know the words ubuntu and linux.02:13
philipballewBecause we can I guess02:21
philipballewthe manager there said he has tried it and knows about it.02:21
philipballewThe bok has a ubuntu circle logo on it as well.02:21
philipballew*box02:22
akkNice to see an ubuntu box sold in a mainstream place, even if it's billed as a special-purpose machine.02:24
scientesphilipballew, if you had sudo why didn't you fix it yourself03:18
philipballewscientes, figured since it was not mine, they might get mad03:28
DonkeyHoteisounds like that happened anyway03:28
philipballewThey were happy. They showed me it, and were happy to have me look at it. The size is nice and compact03:31
philipballewits one of those small desktops03:31
philipballewwould make a good home server maybe03:31
r3d64r_maas can be so annoying !08:05
