pleia2I loled05:16
pleia2greg-g: you should come, there will be pizza05:16
greg-g:P05:17
pleia2:D05:17
paulproteusI'm excited that there will be pizza!07:04
paulproteuspleia2: Yeah, glad I could connect you two. In general, (1) I don't like it when volunteers for free software stuff have out-of-pocket expenses, since that's a road to burnout and other sadness, and (2) I treat getting corporate sponsors like it's my job.07:04
paulproteus'Cause it kind of really is!07:04
bkerensaroad to burnout and other sadness07:05
bkerensa^ the truth07:05
bkerensa:P07:05
bkerensapleia2: there must be lots of sponsorship opps in California07:05
pleia2paulproteus: I've found that people are largely generous when they realize a volunteer is paying, over the years my out of pocket expenses have been quite limited16:09
pleia2but sponsors are better :)16:11
philballewosx should be able to read a ext# drive through sftp right?18:07
akkAn extX drive mounted on a Linux machine, and osx is talking to the linux machine via sftp?18:08
philballewyeah akk . macbook pro, and a ubuntu server (converted ppc mac mini)18:10
akkSure, if some other machine is serving the file, the macbook has no way of knowing what filesystem it was on.18:11
akkAll it sees is the sftp protocol.18:11
philballewshoot, thats right...18:11
philballewgotta make sure my roomate can read the drive to.18:12
philballewfor some reason he has yet to give in to linux :)18:12
akkMac people are funny that way.18:13
philballewI like osx for the fact its unix in some way. Thats about it.18:13
akkYeah, it's better than windows. :)18:14
pleia2gah, my place is a mess18:15
pleia2tomorrow I shall clean up, put all this ubuntu stuff away!18:16
philballewpleia2, if you fly me up there, i'll clean it for you.18:16
pleia2hah18:16
pleia2it's just messy, too much stuff, not enough space :)18:16
akkd recently got a new mac with lion (or is it mountain lion?) and was struggling with things like the hardwired delay for animation when you switch desktops.18:16
akkI said "Hmm, maybe if you poke around in the binary you could find where the delay is set and binary-patch it to be shorter"18:17
akkand he said "Yeah, somebody already did that ... and if you pay $15 you can buy the program ... Macs!"18:17
philballewpleia2, you should rent the apartment next to you, and tear down the wall. Just find the support beams, and set up a brace. I could get that done in 3 days tops18:18
pleia2they certainly do have a very for-pay culture :)18:18
akkYep, and not a sharing culture.18:18
philballewsharing is caring18:18
pleia2philballew: sure, while I'm at it I'll get a second job, one that pays much more than my first job, so I can pay for a second condo in downtown SF ;)18:18
pleia2packing up to head out to the global jam \o/18:19
philballewI hear there is places you can buy a house for those two months rent combined!18:19
* philballew runs and hides18:20
pleia2true story18:20
pleia2hey geofft_ :)18:20
pleia2ok, laptops, all isos and paperwork, stickers, quetzal...18:21
philballewI have a friend living in Boise. houses are like 80 - 150 thousand. ever find a thing like that in CA.18:21
philballewNot even in Bakersfield18:21
pleia2yeah18:21
akkI hear Boise is pretty.18:21
pleia2going back to PA we look at houses we considered mansions there that go for around $750k18:21
pleia2we won't be able to find a very big place for that much here18:22
pleia2let alone a yard18:22
philballewMy uncle has a house he rents in sf. been there since the 80's and rent control has him at a few hundred a month.18:22
pleia2ah yes, that rent control is nice for renters :)18:23
pleia2we own our place, and we wouldn't be able to pay all the mortgage if we rented it out18:23
geofft_pleia2: Hi18:23
philballewjust think pleia2 you out there with your lawnmower mowing it. you can shape your hedges into ubuntu logos or something to!18:23
pleia2I had a yard at my house in PA, gardens are too much work :)18:24
akkBut she'd have to let it grow out twice a year so she could change the animal. :)18:24
pleia2haha, yeah18:24
philballewhah! A garden is a very economical way to eat.18:24
* akk loves having a garden, but doesn't really want a lawn big enough to mow into shapes18:24
pleia2I had groundhogs that would eat veggies, and the groundhogs had cute babies and so I let them18:25
philballewin auburn i had an acre to mow once a week. It gets old.18:25
akkI don't think the garden has saved me any eating money. But it's fun to be able to have lunch now and then from something I picked from the backyard.18:25
pleia2(I am not a very good gardener :))18:25
philballewGroundhog day is a good day in my life18:25
akkpleia2: We're the same way -- let the animals win (at least vertebrates, I'm not so kind to snails).18:26
philballewsalt18:26
akkThough I am getting a little annoyed with the birds eating holes in all my apples from my baby apple tree.18:26
pleia2oh gosh, I need to get going18:26
pleia2I'll check in from the jam and take lots of pictures :)18:26
akkHave fun, pleia2!18:26
* akk tries to focus and catch up on the latest 25 long messages on the app developer process18:28
philballewthough ubuntu doesnt officially support ppc, the community made one should still work fine probably.18:29
akkThe roommate's mac is ppc? I'd be hesitant to run linux (and certainly not ubuntu) on something that old.18:35
pleia25 people here already :)19:04
akk\o/ par-tay!19:05
philballewwell its a mac mini. Gonna set up a simple file server.20:20
philballewpleia2, dont have to much fun!20:20
