[01:39] <canthus13> paultag: Hey... What's this I'm hearing about shuttleworth wanting to close development?
[02:18] <drkokandy> here's the blog post that started it canthus13: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1200
[02:19] <drkokandy> it seems there are a few features they want to limit involvement in to just a few committed community members
[02:19] <canthus13> that's kinda obnoxious, but whatever.
[02:21] <drkokandy> his response to some of the comments is something like "there are always things we work on somewhat privately - now we're trying to invite people in to see those features as they start to take shape"
[02:23]  * canthus13 nods.
[02:33] <Cheri703> drkokandy, Unit193: want to try to plan something in Mansfield in the next few weeks?
[02:33] <Unit193> I'm not here! :P
[02:33] <drkokandy> I'm here!
[02:35] <Cheri703> I have a rental car through monday afternoon, but any day in the next few weeks (barring major rainstorm) would work for me.
[02:37] <drkokandy> through Monday afternoon, I would only be available on Sunday. In the next few weeks, I am out of town 10/25-10/28, but anytime other than that would work for me
[02:38] <Cheri703> ok, Sunday afternoon/evening would work. Unit193? Any days better/worse for you?
[02:40] <Unit193> 21,27 don't work.
[02:52] <Cheri703> Unit193: any other day of the week generally good for you?
[02:52] <Unit193> I'd go case by case, but could be.
[02:57] <Cheri703> you are very specific Unit193, thank you >_>
[02:57] <Unit193> Glad I could help!
[03:07] <drkokandy> Most Mondays I'm not available, but this Monday night I am.
[03:08] <Cheri703> Ok, yeah, like I said, barring rain, I'm good whenever. (I *could* get there in the rain, but it'd be super unpleasant for all involved)
[03:09] <drkokandy> That wouldn't be cool. I'm sure we could reschedule if it rained
[03:09] <Cheri703> :)
[03:10] <Cheri703> Unit193: is there any day before the end of the month, other than the days drkokandy is out of town that would be best for you?
[03:12] <Unit193> Cheri703: I'm sure there is, I can get back to you on that.
[03:13] <Cheri703> ok. If not, then we can just schedule one with me and drkokandy, and then the next one try to make fit schedules better. :) Goodness knows we've had enough that were just me and you!
[03:14] <Unit193> Yeah, I'm sure you're sick of it already.  Not sure a friend could go.
[03:14] <Cheri703> heh, it's fine
[03:14] <Cheri703> I don't get out much, so anything is good ;)
[03:14] <Cheri703> working from home has good and bad things about it >_>
[03:15] <Cheri703> hermit-ness can fit either category depending on the day
[03:47] <Cheri703> apparently I'm going to the haunted prison tomorrow night!
[03:57] <Unit193> Nice!  Not been there, but been past it many times.
[03:58] <Cheri703> yeah, I did the non-halloween tour a month or two ago, same friend is coming up and doing the "omg scary people" tour tomorrow with some folks, so I'm tagging along. haven't been to a haunted house in probably 8 years.
[03:59] <Cheri703> random question: Unit193, would your household happen to have a vcr you don't want anymore?
[03:59] <Unit193> Only have one working right now, and plenty of tapes. :P
[04:00] <Cheri703> hehe, ok, just wondering
[04:01] <Unit193> Had to get a new dvd player, older one was better.
[04:01] <Cheri703> I gave the dvd/vcr combo to the husband
[04:02] <Cheri703> might have to check out the thrift store(s)
[04:02] <Unit193> They don't sell them now?
[04:03] <Cheri703> not JUST a vcr
[04:03] <Cheri703> dvd players for <$30, but no vcrs
[04:07] <Cheri703> Unit193: do you think you would know more about your schedule by monday?
[04:11] <Unit193> Cheri703: What days would work well this week, or scheduled?
[04:11] <Cheri703> Any
[04:18] <Unit193> Tues is only evening next week.
[04:22] <Cheri703> Tuesday works for me, at the moment it says 20% chance of rain at 8pm, so...before 8pm :)
[04:23] <drkokandy> Tuesday would work for me. I could get to Mansfield by 5:30 or 5:45
[04:23] <Unit193> I'd assume you'd rather eve.
[04:24] <Cheri703> awesome. would 6pm at the Panera in Ontario work?
[04:24] <drkokandy> for me, sure
[04:25] <Unit193> Oh?  Thought we were thinking of over closer to you. :P
[04:35] <Cheri703> we had been, but Panera has wifi and everyone knows where it is.
[04:36] <drkokandy> no luck finding wifi on your side of town?
[04:36] <Cheri703> So let's make it official, Tuesday, October 23rd 6pm, Panera in Ontario
[04:36] <Cheri703> Didn't explore much yet, but honestly? I'm doubtful :/ Mansfield is not exactly a hotbed of technological progress
[04:37] <drkokandy> gotcha. Panera works for me
[04:37] <Cheri703> kk
[04:37] <Cheri703> I'm putting it on my calendar
[04:41] <Unit193> Right, lets try not filing it in /dev/null
[05:08] <Cheri703> Added it to the Loco Calendar
[05:09] <Unit193> I'd bet the Mc. D will have wifi once they finish it. :P
[05:09] <Cheri703> probably, McD's generally do. but they're not nearly as comfy for hanging out in. Panera has a nice selection. bagels, cookies, beverages, sandwiches, etc
[05:09] <Cheri703> soup
