[07:04] <dholbach> good morning
[07:09] <JoseeAntonioR> dholbach: hey, dholbach
[14:28] <czajkowski> paultag: PING!
[14:30] <paultag> czajkowski: PONG!
[14:30] <czajkowski> did the package arrive and get sorted 
[14:31] <czajkowski> if so 
[14:31] <czajkowski> where is my taffey! 
[14:32] <paultag> czajkowski: email me where I can send it :)
[14:32] <czajkowski> canonical UK :)
[14:32] <paultag> alrighty :)
[14:32] <czajkowski> Pendulum: knows how happy I get to get taffey 
[14:33] <Pendulum> paultag: it's a good bribery tool
[14:33] <Pendulum> and a good tool to distract her
[14:33] <paultag> totally
[14:34] <czajkowski> lol
[14:34] <czajkowski> the distraction bit is amusing it seems 
[14:34] <paultag> I'll have to keep some on me
[14:34] <Pendulum> she's actually cut off speaking in the middle of a word when she sees taffy
[14:34] <paultag> in case a wild czajkowski appears
[14:34] <paultag> in which case, I'll throw it the other way and run, so I won't get strangled
[14:34] <czajkowski> no state side trips this year 
[14:34] <paultag> aww :(
[14:35] <czajkowski> although a very slim chance I get to go to NYC maybe 
[14:35] <czajkowski> other half is being sent to NYC for a few weeks possibly
[14:35] <czajkowski> and if so I'm so going out there I've some annual leave to use up 
[14:35] <paultag> my next two months are crazy
[14:35] <czajkowski> paultag: any EU trips 
[14:35] <czajkowski> paultag: come to FOSDEM! its in February! 
[14:35] <paultag> czajkowski: not yet, but perhap
[14:35] <paultag> Hurmm.
[14:35] <paultag> where is it this year?
[14:35] <czajkowski> lots of Debian people there
[14:36] <czajkowski> always Brussels 
[14:36] <czajkowski> 2/3 of Feb 
[14:36] <czajkowski> dates are out as well 
[14:36] <paultag> czajkowski: how far from the airport?
[14:37] <paultag> let's see how much this'd run me
[14:37] <czajkowski> 30 mins to city center 
[14:37] <paultag> jesus christ
[14:37] <czajkowski> then everyone gets the bus to the uni as the uni is a bit far out 
[14:37] <czajkowski> JanC: will know the exact details 
[14:37] <czajkowski> paultag: oi language! 
[14:37] <paultag> 2,000 USD
[14:38] <czajkowski> wow 
[14:38] <czajkowski> why
[14:38] <czajkowski> paultag: which airport do you fly from 
[14:38] <czajkowski> middle of no where! 
[14:38] <paultag> BOS
[14:38] <paultag> nah dude, Boston logan international
[14:39] <czajkowski> paultag: http://www.skyscanner.net/flights/bos/brus/130131/130206/airfares-from-boston-logan-international-to-brussels-in-january-2013-and-february-2013.html
[14:39] <czajkowski> STERLING 427 atm 
[14:39] <czajkowski> so you're using a whacked up site 
[14:39] <paultag> the heck is skyscanner?
[14:40] <paultag> czajkowski: also, that's any brussels airport
[14:40] <paultag> which one is most close?
[14:40] <JanC> there is only one real Brussels airport
[14:40] <JanC> but there is also the Charleroi airport which often calls itself Brussels South
[14:41] <czajkowski> paultag: skycsanner is how I find all flights easily 
[14:41] <paultag> if I can get a flight and spend less then 1,000 USD, I'll see about it :)
[14:41] <czajkowski> and searchs all the flight combinations :) 
[14:41] <czajkowski> paultag: it's so doable! 
[14:41] <czajkowski> get to EU! 
[14:41] <czajkowski> and I'll promise to be nice! 
[14:41] <paultag> :)
[14:41] <czajkowski> at least for 20 mins! 
[14:41] <paultag> I need to find some floor to sleep on, hotels are going to be crazy :)
[14:42] <czajkowski> paultag: loads of choice 
[14:42] <czajkowski> lots of people share 
[14:42] <czajkowski> and also so many deals going on 
[14:42] <czajkowski> know of one crowd who booked an apt for 3 days for as much as we paid for a hotel and they ahd 4 in the apt 
[14:42] <czajkowski> paultag: poke the debian channel and list 
[14:42] <JanC> hotels don't have to be expensive in Brussels, but the cheap ones will be full if you wait to long  ;)
[14:42] <paultag> yeah, I will
[14:42] <JanC> too long
[14:43] <paultag> I'll find a DD's couch to sleep on or something. If I end up going :)
[14:44] <czajkowski> paultag: http://www.venere.com/belgium/brussels/#p|1;f:o|price-t|all-z|all_areas-r|r6-c|all_rate  $63 
[14:44] <paultag> :)
[14:44] <JanC> paultag: the cross distro devrooms at FOSDEM are run by a DD (Wouter Verhelst)
[14:44] <paultag> oh sure, wouter
[14:45] <paultag> I'll see if I can't hash out some deets
[14:45] <czajkowski> paultag: it wuld be cool to finally meet you 
[14:46] <czajkowski> it's also a fantastic conference 
[14:46] <paultag> totally :)
[14:46] <czajkowski> trying to decide to submit a talk
[14:46] <paultag> you should!
[14:46] <czajkowski> or take part in another panel discussion 
[14:46] <czajkowski> that was good 
[14:49] <JanC> I also have some place for people to sleep (at my uncle & aunt's place just outside of Brussels) that I usually use for some Ubuntu booth volunteers, but maybe we can fit one more in there too if you don't find a DD's place to sleep (might need a sleeping bag though)  ☺
[14:49] <paultag> I've slept in far worse places closer to home :)
[14:49] <paultag> thanks, JanC, czajkowski :)
[14:50] <czajkowski> <-- conf call 
[14:51] <JanC> also, if you come, try to be in Brussels on Friday, so that you don't miss the Friday night pre-FOSDEM beer event  ☺
[14:51] <paultag> ooh, I like beer :)
[14:53] <JanC> just take care not to drink too much of it (following talks with a hangover is a bit hard...)
[14:54] <paultag> I've never made it through a conf without having a hangover on days 2 & 3 :)
[15:04] <JanC> paultag: BTW, if you want to ask questions about FOSDEM, there is also #fosdem (and they have a ML too, which is sometimes used by people who are looking to share a hotel room and such)
[15:05] <paultag> JanC: you rock, thanks :)
