bkerensa=/01:35
bkerensaI offered him $2k01:35
bkerensagrantbow: have you considered getting partim.us01:44
bkerensa:D01:44
bkerensafor bit.ly urls? :P01:44
pleia2we don't really have the budget for it01:45
pleia2I have krumba.ch ;)01:45

paulproteuspleia2: Good seeing you, even if briefly.06:48
paulproteusYou looked well.06:49
pleia2paulproteus: same! thanks for coming out :)06:49
paulproteusre: Debconf: pleia2: Wait, what, you should totally go to Debconf and apply for finaid.06:49
pleia2it's not just that, I've taken a lot of time lately for travel and other conferences, can't make the work schedule work06:50
paulproteusAh, okay.06:50
pleia2having a job is such a travel killer ;)06:50
pleia2anyway, bedtime06:51
scientessry i wasn't thar07:00
scientesoh cool, sf parking meters use z8007:13
paulproteusscientes: No prob. You should take the ferry in tomorrow and meet me at ING Direct Cafe (101 Post St); I'll be working from there starting at 9ish.07:16
paulproteusMaybe slightly later at this rate.07:16
* scientes needs to secure a laptop07:17
grantbowbkerensa: pleia2 was right. godaddy's first year is $3.99 but following years are $19.99 - not worth it.19:33
bkerensagrantbow: for .us?19:33
grantbowyes19:34
bkerensaI have a Gold account with Namecheap so I skip the prices that most people pay =/19:34
bkerensa.us for me is $5.9919:34
grantbowI used to work for namesecure many moons ago19:34
grantbowjoker.com is $7.20/yr, better but still not worth it to me19:36
pleia2it's fun to have cute names for personal and startups, but we're a serious non-profit where .org is most appropriate19:37
pleia2I don't really see the benefit19:37
grantbowyeah19:37
bkerensaphilipballew: did you ever get your free HP Cloud or did you get totally cut out of it?19:56
greg-ghey, the Digital Public Library of America project has dp.la as their official domain ;)19:56
greg-gThey are Berkman Center funded though19:56
bkerensagreg-g: I was just suggesting partim.us for short urls ;) branding consistency is always good19:57

greg-gGood: Rowan is awesome. Bad: Friends are awesome, too.23:27
pleia2ah, the things I have to look forward to once the kiddos start coming :)23:27
greg-gthe little guy really is freaking awesome, though.23:27
