[17:17] <philipballew> toddc, I have seen that there.
[17:18] <pleia2> I think nUboon2age might have bought one
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <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 ?
[17:22] <pleia2> CC meeting at 9AM ;) we have Thanksgiving lunch plans at The Beach Chalet, then staying home to work on wedding and home stuff
[17:23] <philipballew> oh nice. Hopefully that is relaxing for you.
[17:24] <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
[17:26] <philipballew> ah, Weddings are stressful.
[17:26] <akk> Yeah, they are.
[17:37] <kdub> anyone try the nexus 7 build yet?
[17:37] <pleia2> hopefully s/Weddings/the planning of weddings :)
[17:39] <akk> The actual wedding is usually stressful too. But worth it.
[17:40] <philipballew> I would if I owned one kdub
[17:41] <kdub> i have one, but i'm lazy
[17:41] <kdub> :)
[17:47] <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
[17:49] <akk> I want ubuntu for nook touch, or kobo. :)
[17:50] <pleia2> they're starting with nexus 7 to work the kinks out since the n7 is cheap and widely available internationally
[17:53] <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
[17:55] <akk> It would be especially great if tablets actually became a reason for ubuntu to care about those things.
[17:56] <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]
[17:57] <akk> Hmm, powerstat sounds interesting, but I don't see it in aptitude search.
[17:59] <pleia2> it's in 12.10
[18:00] <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.
[18:01] <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
[18:03] <kdub> akk, i'd guess its using a kernel for android though, so at least it'll pick up some battery life there
[18:04] <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
[18:06] <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]
[18:26]  * kdub mulls applying for membership...
[18:27] <kdub> cant hurt i spose
[18:28] <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
[18:41] <pleia2> kdub: I'd suggest adding what you worked on at UDS (types of sessions attended? take any work items?)
[18:42] <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]
[18:43] <kdub> maybe 4th time's the charm ;-)
[19:15] <locodir-user> hi, i been trying to watch netflx, but for some reason i can't doit, anyone with the same problem?
[19:17] <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
[19:29] <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
[19:33] <kdub> i like how unity search is a bit smarter in 12.10
[19:33] <kdub> eg email results in thunderbird showing up
[19:35] <raevol> hmm i always remove thunderbird
[19:55] <pleia2> toddc: david andrews (iheartubuntu) is part of our team :D
[20:57] <locodir-user> anyone know how to use netflix in ubuntu?
[21:04] <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]
[21:33] <toddc> pleia2: could not remember his nick thanks
[22:17] <raevol> configuring conky is so annoying yet so fun
