[00:13] <bkerensa> pleia2: so I guess there is going to be no push for Global Jams this time round?
[00:14] <pleia2> bkerensa: not one led by the canonical community team
[00:14] <bkerensa> LOL
[00:14] <bkerensa> :)
[00:15] <bkerensa> I guess the Ubuntu Community Team will have to do it
[00:15]  * bkerensa snickers
[00:15] <pleia2> indeed :)
[00:15] <pleia2> I had to nudge czajkowski this morning to announce it somewhere
[00:15] <bkerensa> LOL
[00:15] <bkerensa> thats sad
[00:15] <bkerensa> :D
[00:15] <pleia2> I think everyone forgot about it except me :)
[00:16] <bkerensa> yeah I saw a comment by someone from the "Canonical Community Team" that said they were working on more important things
[00:16] <bkerensa> :D
[00:16] <pleia2> I was starting to write out my september schedule and was like "hey wait..."
[00:17] <pleia2> so I looked up the wiki, saw it had been scheduled, then looked for announcement, couldn't find one!
[00:17] <bkerensa> A good project for a jam would be to update the jam wiki :D
[00:17] <bkerensa> I just made some tweaks
[00:17] <pleia2> hehe
[00:18] <bkerensa> I think doc jam sounds good this time
[00:18]  * bkerensa needs to run now its 101 degrees and im dying
[00:18] <pleia2> I am doing an iso testing jam!
[00:18] <pleia2> good luck
[03:45] <nhaines> Gareth: I hope for Ubucon for SCALE12x but I will have to work with others again this year.
[03:46] <Gareth> nhaines: hmm?
[03:48] <nhaines> Not 12!  The next one! heh
[03:49] <nhaines> Gareth: I'll need to find some helpers for Ubucon this year but I would like to see it return.  It's such a fun event.  :)
[04:04] <Gareth> nhaines: Ahhh cool.  wondered why you were talking about 12 already :)
[04:18] <nhaines> Gareth: one always needs goals right?  :)
[04:24] <Gareth> yup :)
[05:23] <MarkDude> This seems a bit odd, imho http://pctrends.freeforums.org/what-is-linux-regal-t62.html

[16:30] <pleia2> sfzoo is doing an evening event tonight: https://sfzoo.worldsecuresystems.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=123335
[16:30] <darthrobot> Title: [Noc’tails at the San Francisco Zoo]
[16:30]  * pleia2 going
[16:31]  * pleia2 links this to Ubuntu somehow
[16:31] <pleia2> they have koalas!
[16:47] <raevol> anyone want to help me with a shell script?
[16:47] <raevol> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151707/
[16:47] <darthrobot> Title: [Ubuntu Pastebin]
[16:48] <raevol> when i echo $g, if i had manually typed that command in, it would work. escaping the spaces like that works, but when i run it from the script like that, it doesn't see the space escaping
[16:50] <raevol> or if anyone has a better way of writing a script that will print at PDF files in a directory, even if they have spaces in the names
[16:52] <akk> Could you just call lpr from the loop where you're looping over files, rather than passing the whole list of args to one lpr command?
[16:53] <raevol> when i did that, my printer would print the first file, and then give an error
[16:53] <akk> Or maybe put single quotes around each file rather than escaping the spaces with backslashes.
[16:53] <akk> But hmm, you certainly should be able to call lpr more than once.
[16:53] <raevol> i think calling it that way sends all the files at once instead of queueing them
[16:56] <raevol> single quotes doesn't seem to help, still looks for "Capping" as the first file :/ so weird
[16:56] <raevol> i am sure that would work if i was typing it into the command line instead of calling it from a script
[16:58] <akk> Personally when I get to the point where I'm bending over backwards trying to trick shells into doing strange string things, I usually give up and rewrite whatever it is in python. :)
[16:59] <raevol> yea :/
[17:01] <pleia2> raevol: run it with -x to see exactly what the script is doing? (I can't actually replicate this, the script works ok for me but I s/lpr/echo)
[17:01] <akk> With echo it's hard to tell where the arguments actually separate.
[17:02] <akk> Better than echo would be to pass it to a for loop that echos each arg on a separate line (or write a separate script that does that, and call it)
[17:02] <akk> to show what the lpr command is really seeing
[17:02] <pleia2> ah, true
[17:03] <raevol> :S
[18:25] <raevol> akk: i got it working :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/1153133/
[18:25] <darthrobot> Title: [Ubuntu Pastebin]
[18:26] <akk> Wow, tricky!
[18:26] <raevol> :D
[18:26] <akk> If I were you I'd add some comments -- I know when I do something like that, if I come back more than 2 weeks later I have no clue what I did. :)
[18:27]  * akk tends to add comments including a URL to where I found the solution as well as a description of what it does
[18:27] <bkerensa> I think I might go down to  California in the fall
[18:27] <bkerensa> >.< contemplating
[18:37] <raevol> yea i need to comment it
[18:37] <raevol> but the awesome thing is i can run it from a bat script in windows with plink
[18:37] <raevol> so i just got myself happy immediate batch printing from any computer in the office...
[18:39] <akk> yay
[20:50] <bkerensa> pleia2: (415) 766-2115 <-- I made a script that checks BART arrival times :)
[20:50] <pleia2> hehe
