| philballew | Do we have a meeting tonight? | 02:03 |
|---|---|---|
| philballew | If no one's around to paste the agenda, I'll do it. | 02:05 |
| philballew | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/12October7 | 02:05 |
| darthrobot` | Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/12October7 - Ubuntu Wiki] | 02:05 |
| philballew | it says something about Team T-shirt artwork contest | 02:07 |
| philballew | who put that? | 02:07 |
| philballew | guess noone is as into this meeting as me. | 02:14 |
| akk | I'm here, but I didn't put the t-shirt contest thing there. | 02:15 |
| akk | Too bad its owner isn't here, sounded interesting. | 02:16 |
| philballew | it does. I would throw in my idea to the contest akk | 02:16 |
| akk | Any idea when we need the t-shirts, how long we'd have for the contest? | 02:16 |
| philballew | Not sure. Though we could plan for scale when many people will be there. | 02:17 |
| philballew | if we knew who posted it | 02:18 |
| akk | Makes sense. | 02:19 |
| philballew | Lets say the meeting is over probably. They can move their tshirt idea t next time or something? | 02:20 |
| akk | Sounds good! If anybody shows up later and wants to discuss it, we can still do that informally. | 02:21 |
| philballew | for sure. I might go off the comp sooner or later. Got to read a book for my science fiction lit class. | 02:22 |
| philballew | This week is "Dune" and apparently its really big. | 02:22 |
| akk | It is long. (But good.) | 02:23 |
| akk | How soon do you have to have it finished? | 02:23 |
| philballew | I have 2 weeks | 02:24 |
| akk | That's good, glad it's not by this week or anything. :) | 02:24 |
| philballew | Thats good to know that it is at least interesting. | 02:24 |
| philballew | Some books for college take the fun out of reading | 02:24 |
| akk | I liked it a lot. (Didn't much like any of the sequels, though.) | 02:24 |
| philballew | I hear they are different then the main one | 02:24 |
| akk | I thought so, anyway. I guess some people like them. | 02:25 |
| philballew | to each their own | 02:25 |
| akk | Yep! | 02:25 |
| akk | I would think an SF class would mostly have pretty good reading. What else are you reading for it? | 02:25 |
| philballew | I just read Foundation and am then before that I read 1984 and the Martian Chronicles. I believe next I am reading Do androids dream of electric sheep. | 02:29 |
| philballew | ever herd of those akk? | 02:29 |
| akk | I loved Foundation when I was a teenager. Been meaning to go back and re-read and see if I still liked it. | 02:29 |
| akk | Didn't like 1984 much (I think there are 1984 people and Brave New World people, I'm the latter) | 02:30 |
| akk | or Martian Chronicles (it was okay, but I was just in a convo about this with somebody -- | 02:30 |
| philballew | I hear there is a foundation movie coming out in the next few years | 02:30 |
| akk | Bradbury fans are either Martian Chronicles people or Something Wicked This Way Comes people, I'm definitely the latter). | 02:30 |
| philballew | oh, and I am reading enders game | 02:30 |
| akk | Do Androids was weird, being familiar with Blade Runner -- because it's so different. | 02:31 |
| akk | Pretend you've never seen Blade Runner and you'll be all right. | 02:31 |
| akk | Enders Game was another where I liked the orig but not the sequels. | 02:31 |
| philballew | Dont think "Why is Indiana Jones doing that" | 02:31 |
| akk | haha | 02:31 |
| akk | Really none of the characters are as interesting as the ones in the movie (IIRC, been a while). | 02:32 |
| akk | But the book gets into a lot more detail about the society, like why are they asking all those animal questions. | 02:32 |
| akk | So in a way it makes more sense. | 02:32 |
| philballew | books have hours to explain things where movies have minutes | 02:33 |
| philballew | i guess thats all it boils down to | 02:33 |
| akk | Yep, it's tough to cram a really detailed world into a 2-hour movie. | 02:34 |
| akk | Probably why Dune the book is way better than any of the movies. | 02:34 |
| philballew | would make sense. I think tonight I will enjoy it, if I have the patience | 02:35 |
| akk | Those should all be fun books to talk about -- lots of meaty things to discuss. | 02:35 |
| philballew | For sure. I know I am going to enjoy it more and more as time goes on. | 02:36 |
| akk | Sounds like a great class. | 02:36 |
| philballew | Well, time to suspend the laptop and read! | 02:36 |
| akk | Enjoy! | 02:37 |
| philballew | Thank you | 02:37 |
| pleia2 | yay, thanks phil! | 02:46 |
| pleia2 | I've been doing major trip prep tonight and about 10000 things that need to be done at home, before I go - just realized how late it was :( | 02:46 |
| akk | When are you leaving? | 02:46 |
| pleia2 | wednesday | 02:46 |
| akk | Woo, getting close! | 02:47 |
| akk | Are you flying straight to Ghana? How long a trip is that? | 02:48 |
| pleia2 | flying to frankfurt, then on to ghana | 02:48 |
| * pleia2 tries to figure out just how long these flights are | 02:50 | |
| pleia2 | 10 hr, 45 minutes for the first bit, then 6hr 45 minutes for the frankfurt to ghana | 02:51 |
| pleia2 | 3.5 hr layover | 02:51 |
| akk | That's a long day. | 02:51 |
| pleia2 | yeah, so I fly out at 2:55PM on wednesday, land in Ghana at 6:55PM on Thursday | 02:52 |
| pleia2 | I can sort of sleep on planes :) | 02:52 |
| akk | That's good! | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | oh, and grantbow added the t-shirt item to the meeting, not sure where he's gone off to this evening | 02:54 |
| pleia2 | hopefully he'll add it again to a meeting he can attend, I'm not sure what he had in mind :) | 02:55 |
