| philipballew | toddc, I have seen that there. | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | I think nUboon2age might have bought one | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: have some time to do post-meeting updates on the wiki and stuff? | 17:19 |
| philipballew | pleia2, sometime after today. | 17:19 |
| pleia2 | ok | 17:19 |
| philipballew | I have class till 8 today then fly to sac at 10 tonight, but tomorrow I dont see why not. | 17:20 |
| * philipballew loves plane rides | 17:20 | |
| pleia2 | alright, thanks | 17:20 |
| pleia2 | thanksgiving with family? | 17:21 |
| philipballew | Yeah, Gonna go to Auburn for the week, but on Thanksgiving visit the Grandmother at her house in Napa. | 17:21 |
| philipballew | What are your plans for this Thursday pleia2 ? | 17:21 |
| pleia2 | CC meeting at 9AM ;) we have Thanksgiving lunch plans at The Beach Chalet, then staying home to work on wedding and home stuff | 17:22 |
| philipballew | oh nice. Hopefully that is relaxing for you. | 17:23 |
| pleia2 | it'll be a nice day off from work anyway, we have a lot to do personally WRT wedding and all | 17:24 |
| pleia2 | my boss snagged me to work on Friday (boo) because we're training someone and need all the time we can find before I find a new job | 17:24 |
| philipballew | ah, Weddings are stressful. | 17:26 |
| akk | Yeah, they are. | 17:26 |
| kdub | anyone try the nexus 7 build yet? | 17:37 |
| pleia2 | hopefully s/Weddings/the planning of weddings :) | 17:37 |
| akk | The actual wedding is usually stressful too. But worth it. | 17:39 |
| philipballew | I would if I owned one kdub | 17:40 |
| kdub | i have one, but i'm lazy | 17:41 |
| kdub | :) | 17:41 |
| pleia2 | only played with the ones at UDS (my roomie had one), it was exciting but at the time not practical | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | it's slow and the UI still isn't quite up to speed, too many tiny spots to click | 17:47 |
| akk | I want ubuntu for nook touch, or kobo. :) | 17:49 |
| pleia2 | they're starting with nexus 7 to work the kinks out since the n7 is cheap and widely available internationally | 17:50 |
| akk | I'm a little dubious of ubuntu on any tablet, because ubuntu traditionally hasn't been concerned with either speed or battery life | 17:53 |
| akk | ... but I hope I'm wrong | 17:53 |
| akk | It would be especially great if tablets actually became a reason for ubuntu to care about those things. | 17:55 |
| pleia2 | there is a ton of focus on battery life for these, one of the recent reports on it: http://smackerelofopinion.blogspot.com/2012/11/non-linear-characteristics-in-draining.html | 17:56 |
| darthrobot | Title: [A Smackerel of Opinion: Non linear characteristics in a draining battery on the Nexus 7] | 17:56 |
| akk | Hmm, powerstat sounds interesting, but I don't see it in aptitude search. | 17:57 |
| pleia2 | it's in 12.10 | 17:59 |
| akk | I'm not surprised that battery measurements are unreliable -- pretty much assumed that (sadly). | 18:00 |
| akk | It's not an easy thing to measure. | 18:00 |
| toddc | kdub a buddy installed ubuntu on nexus 7 on Saturday but removed it a hour later due to some KB issues but he is a arch user and unity hater. I did not have time to test it before he removed it | 18:01 |
| kdub | akk, i'd guess its using a kernel for android though, so at least it'll pick up some battery life there | 18:03 |
| akk | Really, ubuntu for nexus uses an android kernel? | 18:04 |
| kdub | just a guess... seems the easiest route | 18:04 |
| * kdub checks | 18:04 | |
| toddc | I doubt it | 18:04 |
| toddc | I did see some rotation issues and I cons were way to small to click but I wish I would have had time to play with it before he wiped it | 18:06 |
| kdub | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Kernel says its stock, but they have patches | 18:06 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Nexus7/Kernel - Ubuntu Wiki] | 18:06 |
| * kdub mulls applying for membership... | 18:26 | |
| kdub | cant hurt i spose | 18:27 |
| pleia2 | kdub: pro tip: get testimonials :) like from philip about ubuntu hours! | 18:28 |
| kdub | i have two already from a while back | 18:28 |
| pleia2 | ah good | 18:28 |
| pleia2 | kdub: I'd suggest adding what you worked on at UDS (types of sessions attended? take any work items?) | 18:41 |
| kdub | we'll just see if its good enough this time i spose https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KevinDuBois :) | 18:42 |
| darthrobot | Title: [KevinDuBois - Ubuntu Wiki] | 18:42 |
| kdub | maybe 4th time's the charm ;-) | 18:43 |
| locodir-user | hi, i been trying to watch netflx, but for some reason i can't doit, anyone with the same problem? | 19:15 |
| toddc | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/11/how-to-use-netflix-on-ubuntu but I have not tried it yet but let us know | 19:17 |
| raevol | oooooh snap | 19:29 |
| raevol | just had my first unity snafu | 19:29 |
| raevol | was in my winxp virtual machine, hit super, and tried to search for notepad | 19:29 |
| raevol | well played mark shuttleworth, well played | 19:29 |
| kdub | i like how unity search is a bit smarter in 12.10 | 19:33 |
| kdub | eg email results in thunderbird showing up | 19:33 |
| raevol | hmm i always remove thunderbird | 19:35 |
| pleia2 | toddc: david andrews (iheartubuntu) is part of our team :D | 19:55 |
| locodir-user | anyone know how to use netflix in ubuntu? | 20:57 |
| pleia2 | there isn't an officially supported way, but http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html uses wine to run the Windows version of firefox which can run it | 21:04 |
| darthrobot | Title: [PPA for Netflix Desktop App | iheartubuntu] | 21:04 |
| toddc | pleia2: could not remember his nick thanks | 21:33 |
| raevol | configuring conky is so annoying yet so fun | 22:17 |
