[01:44] <iheartubuntu> hi akk. how are you
[01:44] <akk_> hi, iheartubuntu
[01:44] <akk_> Wrestling with trying to find out why fsck delays my boot by 25 minutes, and whether that's normal.

[02:12] <philballew> alright, lets start the meeting now
[02:12] <philballew> who all is here?

[02:15] <jtatum> Greetings, iheartubuntu
[02:15] <philballew> ^agenda
[02:15] <philballew> so grantbow around?
[02:15] <philballew> wanna talk about some tshirts?
[02:16] <jtatum> Excited to see that on the agenda. I never got one of the old shirts :)
[02:17] <philballew> lets give him a few minutes
[02:17] <iheartubuntu> i was going to offer up a few designs with the new font, but just found out about it yesterday.
[02:17] <iheartubuntu> is there a rush to fill an order?
[02:17] <iheartubuntu> i can make some within the next day or so.
[02:17] <philballew> not sure myself, but grantbow should know
[02:17] <iheartubuntu> *some designs
[02:18] <jtatum> Maybe we can come back to this item if grantbow turns up
[02:19] <philballew> good idea.
[02:19] <philballew> so I had the thing for thee election liz asked me to run
[02:19] <philballew> Africa. thats a trip...
[02:20] <philballew> so on the ballot is me iheartubuntu pleia2 and grantbow
[02:20] <philballew> since there is more then 3 were gonna have an election
[02:21] <philballew> I ran a lp script to get everyones emails who has them as public and will make a ballot in the next day
[02:21] <philballew> How long should we make voting last?
[02:21] <philballew> I was thinking a week or two
[02:22] <jtatum> 2 weeks sounds like long enough for anyone who will vote to get one in
[02:22] <philballew> we can just make it end before the next meeting probably then
[02:22] <philballew> So thats settled, ill get it out in the next day and then call it good.
[02:22] <jtatum> Good luck, candidates!
[02:23] <philballew> id do it tonight, but got some calculus homework...
[02:23]  * philballew is scared of numbers because of math
[02:23] <philballew> so i guess there is not much else yet
[02:23] <philballew> anyone wanna say anything else?
[02:24] <jtatum> The meetup group is awesome. Brought a bunch of new folks out to the mountain view UH
[02:24] <philballew> I went to the openstack confrence this week for an afternoon and took home a 10 x 10 foot ubuntu / Canonical banner home
[02:24] <iheartubuntu> HUGE
[02:24] <philballew> way to big to even fit on my wall, but kinda cool
[02:24] <philballew> ill be tweeting a pic soon
[02:24] <iheartubuntu> jtatum so meetup works pretty good?
[02:25] <philballew> well I say thats our meeting!
[02:25] <jtatum> Yes. There's an ubuntu California meetup group, so if you have any ubuntu events, join the group and add them
[02:25] <iheartubuntu> sounds good thanks
[02:27] <philballew> met a caninoical dev this week living in sf
[02:27] <philballew> said he did not know sf had a ubuntu meetup
[02:27] <philballew> so I gave him the info
[02:31] <jbermudes> iheartubuntu: How's the setup at home with your mother in law? Will you get a chance to come down to UH again?
[02:35] <iheartubuntu> ahh
[02:36] <iheartubuntu> she just went home last weekend
[02:36] <iheartubuntu> death in the family
[02:36] <iheartubuntu> hope to make it to the next UH
[02:36] <iheartubuntu> im driving again
[02:37] <iheartubuntu> took a couple weeks after after my finger inury
[02:37] <iheartubuntu> injury
[02:38] <eps> Dell Small Business is selling low-end "Vostro" laptops with Ubuntu. They claim Ubuntu is "no longer" available in the Home channel.
[02:39] <jbermudes> Awesome. We had a great turnout last time so we'd love for you to come and see what it's grown into
[02:40] <akk_> That's pretty normal for Dell, offering Linux on "business" machines and not "home" machines.
[02:40] <akk_> I wish they'd drop that stupid artificial business vs. home distinction -- it makes their site so hard to use.
[02:46] <iheartubuntu> jbermudes should getcit hooked up on meetup too
[02:46] <iheartubuntu> get it
[02:46] <iheartubuntu> will have to take over peets completely :)
[02:47] <jbermudes> heh, good idea!
[02:48] <iheartubuntu> my dad bought a dell inspiron laptop like 3 years ago. still works awesome even with 12.04 on it
[02:49] <iheartubuntu> im always fixing his printer problems though
[02:49] <iheartubuntu> we have an HP laserjet that print commands always get piled up and nothing comes out
[02:50] <iheartubuntu> easy solution is to cancel all of the printer queue and then delete the printer and re-add it. it works but not very ideal
[02:51] <akk_> Ugh, deleting the printer and re-adding it.
[02:55] <iheartubuntu> i think its an hp bug. i havent quite figured it out yet
[02:55] <iheartubuntu> my cheapo canon inkjet doesnt have that prob
[02:55] <iheartubuntu> ohh wait. canon is via usb and the hp is via the network
[02:56] <akk_> d's Brother laser printer on the net doesn't have that problem either.
[02:56] <akk_> Nor does my cheapie HP inkjet (though it has other problems sometimes).
[02:57] <akk_> The printing system is so insanely complicated, though, every printer is different.
[19:59] <pleia2> philballew: thanks for handling the election :)
[19:59] <philballew> pleia2, not a problem. stay good in Africa.
[20:00] <pleia2> thanks!
[20:00] <pleia2> on very slow dsl at this hotel, but at least this place has internet at all
[20:00] <philballew> ah true, the food is good though?
[20:00] <pleia2> eh, not thrilled about the food :)
[20:00] <philballew> just different?
[20:01] <pleia2> not sure about the taste, and it's certainly different
[20:02] <philballew> ah, im sure there is a MacDonalds there somewhere though.
[20:02] <philballew> not thats thats good food...
[20:05] <pleia2> there is KFC, but no burger places ;)
[20:06] <philballew> haha, I see. KFC is everywhere. Was there any culture shock for you?
[20:06] <pleia2> and chinese food, there are a lot of people from china here doing investments in infrastructure deveopment
[20:06] <pleia2> tons of culture shock
[20:07] <philballew> dont flush the tp!
[20:07] <pleia2> haha, depends on where you are, and if they have tp at all :)
[20:09] <philballew> paper goods are a commodity America takes for granted because we do not understand what disposable goods say about our status in the world.
[20:09] <philballew> showering or baths are more of a luxury I would assume?
[20:11] <pleia2> we're actually staying in decent places, so I'm getting a shower each day
[20:11] <pleia2> hot water is the luxury, I've had it probably 4 times
[20:11] <philballew> oh wow, that is really cool
[20:11] <philballew> that makes sense with the water temp.
[20:11] <pleia2> the room I'm in how claims to have a water heater, but no luck with that :)
[20:11] <pleia2> s/how/now
[20:12] <pleia2> it's ok, the water isn't *cold* since it's so hot here
[20:13] <philballew> id imagine, must be different then the bay.
[20:15] <philballew> well off to spanish class
[20:22] <bkerensa> woah
[20:22] <bkerensa> pleia2: hot water only 4 times
[20:22] <bkerensa> x.x
[20:22] <bkerensa> you have been there more than 4 days though
[20:22] <bkerensa> :D
[20:24] <pleia2> yes, I got here 11 days ago ;)
