| bkerensa | ^ Theme Music for UDS-R Plenaries :P | 01:04 |
| * philballew listens | 01:04 | |
| philballew | I might be there | 01:06 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 01:07 |
| bkerensa | I won't be | 01:07 |
| philballew | bkerensa, will never leave the west cost | 01:08 |
| bkerensa | Oh no I disagree | 01:09 |
| bkerensa | If UDS is on the East Coast I have no problem going | 01:09 |
| bkerensa | I might go up to Vancouver BC soon :D | 01:10 |
| philballew | bkerensa, You and the or loco should rent a van and drive to the next uds | 01:10 |
| bkerensa | the next UDS is in copenhagen... I don't think that would work well | 01:11 |
| bkerensa | plus almost all of our LoCo is sponsored to every UDS anyways | 01:11 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 01:11 |
| bkerensa | Either Canonical or their employers pay their travel | 01:11 |
| philballew | You must feel really cool! | 01:12 |
| MarkDude | philballew, they ARE cool, they contribute to Ubuntu in a great manner | 01:13 |
| philballew | Agreed MarkDude | 01:13 |
| MarkDude | Dont get me wrong I like to tease Ben, but his leadership and stuff done are NOT on that list ;D | 01:14 |
| bkerensa | philballew: heh I don't get sponsored everytime... Just the Canonical and Google folks up here | 01:15 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: I'm telling yeah man... Richmond fumes did not do you good | 01:15 |
| philballew | These no Canonical people is Sacramento | 01:32 |
| philballew | Im alone in a ubuntu world | 01:32 |
| nhaines | Okay, so today's what-if was worth the wait: http://what-if.xkcd.com/6/ | 02:32 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Glass Half Empty] | 02:32 |
| akk | nhaines: I don't understand why the water on the left isn't falling. Are we in a gravity-free zone? | 02:42 |
| pleia2 | hehe "free glass" | 02:43 |
| akk | heh | 02:43 |
| nhaines | akk: not enough time. | 02:57 |
| nhaines | akk: it does fall, but it's also pushed into the glass by air pressure, plus the glass is being pushed up faster. | 02:58 |
| akk | I kinda wish he'd quantify that ... it's hard to believe the glass would get sucked up before the water fell even a tiny amount. | 02:58 |
| akk | Seems at least worth mentioning. | 02:59 |
| pleia2 | there are shuttles from civic center | 02:59 |
| pleia2 | er | 02:59 |
| pleia2 | hi window focus | 02:59 |
| philballew | seems confusing! | 03:02 |
| philballew | pleia2, I think Ill come to your ubuntu hour tomorrow | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | philballew: yay! | 03:03 |
| philballew | I need a way to beat this heat | 03:03 |
| pleia2 | it's not hot here :) | 03:03 |
| akk | Supposed to be a lot hotter tomorrow (today wasn't too bad here, tomorrow might be). | 03:04 |
| akk | Which means it'll probably be lovely in SF. :) | 03:04 |
| pleia2 | yeah, high of 71 tomorrow | 03:04 |
| philballew | triple digits today iirc here | 03:05 |
| philballew | its not that bad when you dont have smoke and therefor can afford to be outside if you need to, but when | 03:05 |
| pleia2 | high around 70 all weekend, which will be beautiful, I'll be at outside lands | 03:05 |
| philballew | i am riding say 8 miles on a bike its hard | 03:05 |
| philballew | 70 sounds beautiful. | 03:06 |
| akk | Yeah, it's rough when you have to bike to get somewhere. | 03:06 |
| \sh | good evening... | 04:22 |
| scientes | especially when you have to paint a bike shed to put it in | 04:23 |
| \sh | can someone give me some good locations to go to in SF? (not the tourist stuff pls ;)) or eventually to meet some ubuntu folks in SF or Concord round about the 15th/16th of August? | 04:24 |
| scientes | the Golden Gate National Recreation Area | 04:24 |
| scientes | in Marin | 04:24 |
| \sh | any good pubs/bars/restaurants not to be missed? | 04:25 |
| \sh | btw...is anyone of you going to the kiss/moetley crue concert in concord on the 16th? | 04:30 |
| philballew | Bay area smart people: | 06:35 |
| philballew | So in SF, are there areas that are safe at night, and one's that are not? | 06:35 |
| nhaines | Somebody tell philballew about the Tenderloin district. | 06:48 |
| nhaines | TIL: Benjamin Kerensa thinks "mean't" is a word. | 06:51 |
| nhaines | Which reminds me that I love the built-in spell checker in Android 4.1 | 06:51 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: where did you see this? And yes it was probably my auto-correct =/ | 06:54 |
| bkerensa | or perhaps not | 06:54 |
| bkerensa | pleia2 almost killed me for my apostrophe usage earlier ;p | 06:54 |

| bkerensa | ahh that was via mobile | 06:54 |
| bkerensa | :D | 06:54 |
| nhaines | Swype can be a blessing and a curse! | 06:55 |
| nhaines | I like the word prediction in the stock keyboard. Also it can decypher some really lazy typing from me. | 06:55 |
| bkerensa | Swype? | 06:55 |
| bkerensa | I kind of wish their was an app that ran everything through "After the Deadline" | 06:56 |
| nhaines | Android keyboard that gets me up to about 45wpm or so. | 06:56 |
| bkerensa | wow | 06:56 |

| darthrobot | [R: maps.google.com] Title: [Treasure Island, San Francisco, CA - Google Maps] | 07:14 |
| nhaines | Would make a good power source! | 07:16 |
| bkerensa | heh | 07:16 |
| bkerensa | Not this stuff | 07:16 |
| bkerensa | Its all radioactive soil, metal and concrete | 07:16 |
| bkerensa | perhaps the biggest blocker for Treasure Island ever becoming fully used | 07:17 |
| bkerensa | too many tons of radioactive waste that they cant move | 07:17 |
| philballew | oh hello California! | 17:38 |
| MarkDude | philballew, - when you endorse sumthin' we can call it PBA | 17:45 |
| MarkDude | philballew, approved | 17:45 |
| * philballew sticks his thumbs up | 17:49 | |
| bkerensa | philballew: stay away from the Tenderloin | 22:02 |
| bkerensa | :D | 22:02 |
| bkerensa | nhaines: ^ | 22:02 |
| nhaines | bkerensa: ha, thanks. :) | 22:05 |
| MarkDude | philballew, are you wearing the Jesus sandals to the Tenderloin? | 22:10 |
| bkerensa | Who thought Ubuntu was using popularity? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1137015/ | 22:15 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Ubuntu Pastebin] | 22:15 |
| MarkDude | ROFL- Fedora forums? Dont go there, waste of time | 22:29 |
| MarkDude | 431 users- lol | 22:30 |
| MarkDude | The only thing it is missing is under construction gifs- to make it as relevant as geocities | 22:31 |
| pleia2 | is this the part where we get to brag about what ubuntuforums.org member number we are? ;) | 22:31 |
| MarkDude | Anyone that steps in and tries to argue Community with Ubuntu folks- has lost fromn the start | 22:33 |
| MarkDude | I mean Mint has users, not really a Community | 22:33 |
| MarkDude | An awesome one no less :) | 22:33 |
| pleia2 | greg-g: wait, CC-BY doesn't mean free-for-all?! | 23:07 |
| pleia2 | (it made me flinch too) | 23:07 |
| pleia2 | speaking of CC-BY, one of my street car photos is getting published in a book (with attribution) :) | 23:08 |
| greg-g | pleia2: YAY! | 23:10 |
| greg-g | congrats! | 23:10 |
| greg-g | you do have a bunch of good streetcar photos! | 23:10 |
| pleia2 | yeah, taken with my phone! | 23:11 |
| pleia2 | the author is sending me a copy too | 23:11 |
| greg-g | now that's pretty classy | 23:12 |
| greg-g | what is the book? | 23:13 |
| pleia2 | it's actually a book about the F-Line itself, by a retired Muni F-Line operator | 23:14 |
| greg-g | oh, interesting | 23:15 |
| greg-g | I like niche books | 23:15 |
| pleia2 | I like train books! | 23:18 |
| pleia2 | I actually learned recently that the trolley museum I grew up near (and always nagged my parents to bring me to) is actually the largest electric railway museum in the world | 23:19 |
| pleia2 | which may not be a big deal to you california people, but I grew up in *maine* - we don't have the biggest of anything! | 23:19 |
| pleia2 | shame I found out about this weeks after my maine trip, I'll have to go next time | 23:19 |
| MarkDude | Thats cool pleia2 | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | for certain values of "cool" I realized I just went pretty far into railway nerd territory there :) | 23:23 |
| MarkDude | On an irc channel? | 23:24 |
| pleia2 | touche | 23:24 |
| MarkDude | If you idle on irc, you start in geek/nerd area at get go :D | 23:24 |
| * MarkDude still laughs about not wanting to get on irc, and now idles in 20 or so channels | 23:25 | |
| pleia2 | wendar did a talk at OSCON about using Ubuntu to help with home automation stuff and she talked about how she had little arduino devices that would do all kinds of things, like change colors of lights and things when someone said her nick on irc so she wouldn't have to be at her desk all the time | 23:26 |
| pleia2 | I was like :D :D :D | 23:26 |
| MarkDude | Oh no, I want that | 23:31 |
| MarkDude | hella | 23:31 |
| greg-g | pleia2: cool! (re biggest electric railway museum) | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | oh yeah, ubuntu hour and debian dinner tonight | 23:40 |
| pleia2 | I hope philip makes it | 23:40 |
| MarkDude | akk, I was wondering if we could ship the other half of Oreilly books to you, and have you meet up with scientes | 23:41 |
| akk | Where is scientes? That sounds okay with me if we can arrange to get together. | 23:42 |
| bkerensa | we need a Ubuntu Bus | 23:53 |
| bkerensa | :D | 23:53 |
| akk | As long as it's at least 32 bit and parallel. :) | 23:54 |
