| skellat | It sounds quiet according to the logs today | 21:29 |
|---|---|---|
| paultag | :) | 21:30 |
| paultag | I like how you pop in and out, I never get to say hi, skellat | 21:30 |
| Cheri703 | o/ | 21:30 |
| skellat | paultag: It happens. | 21:30 |
| skellat | I sometimes get several miles away from computers and since my smartphone is an antique I can't keep up with IRC | 21:30 |
| paultag | mmm | 21:30 |
| skellat | At least on a real-time basis, that is | 21:30 |
| Cheri703 | skellat: if you ever get an android device: quasseldroid! | 21:31 |
| skellat | Cheri703: That presumes I am employed again soon. I will keep it in mind, though. | 21:31 |
| Cheri703 | does sprint get good reception near you? | 21:31 |
| skellat | No | 21:31 |
| skellat | No | 21:31 |
| skellat | No | 21:31 |
| Cheri703 | ok, nvm :) | 21:32 |
| skellat | I used to sell wireless cell phones for a major retailer | 21:32 |
| Cheri703 | if they did I'd suggest the mvno I use | 21:32 |
| skellat | The only viable carriers in Ashtabula County are AT&T and Verizon | 21:32 |
| skellat | Sprint falls back to 2G in some places and T-Mobile is 2G throughout the entirety of Ashtabula County | 21:32 |
| Cheri703 | ah | 21:32 |
| * Cheri703 hearts her carrier | 21:33 | |
| skellat | How is the snow for you, Cheri703 & paultag? | 21:34 |
| paultag | none here! | 21:34 |
| paultag | sadly | 21:34 |
| Cheri703 | not too bad here. a few inches, the roads are fine | 21:34 |
| skellat | It has been pretty calm here snow-wise | 21:34 |
| skellat | It looks like just a minor dusting | 21:34 |
| Cheri703 | any exciting plans for the holidays? | 21:34 |
| skellat | I've got family coming up from Cuyahoga County | 21:35 |
| skellat | That's about it | 21:35 |
| Cheri703 | that's cool | 21:35 |
| skellat | Still have the shortwave special to get finished up to ship over to WBCQ for them to air on New Year's Eve | 21:35 |
| Cheri703 | Thanksgiving was my big family gathering. I'm just hanging out here and relaxing | 21:36 |
| skellat | Cool | 21:36 |
| Cheri703 | as of 12/27 I'll be officially not-married :) | 21:36 |
| skellat | The Ubuntu UK Podcast team contributed some audio to the shortwave broadcast and an uncle is | 21:36 |
| skellat | recording with Dad | 21:36 |
| Cheri703 | look out! I'll be back on the market! ;) (kidding kidding) | 21:36 |
| Cheri703 | nice! | 21:36 |
| skellat | Cheri703: Whoa. Where did that come from? | 21:36 |
| Cheri703 | that's my big holiday event | 21:37 |
| Cheri703 | the hearing for my "dissolution of marriage" | 21:37 |
| Cheri703 | on 12/27 | 21:37 |
| skellat | Ah | 21:37 |
| skellat | Eeeep. Not much you can say there. | 21:37 |
| Cheri703 | nah, it's a good thing | 21:37 |
| Cheri703 | not sad | 21:37 |
| skellat | Never been married, myself. | 21:37 |
| Cheri703 | starting the new year un-encumbered | 21:37 |
| Cheri703 | then work trip the following week :) | 21:38 |
| Cheri703 | so...lots of stuff, just not christmas related ;) | 21:38 |
| skellat | Ah | 21:38 |
| Cheri703 | what type of work are you looking for skellat? | 21:39 |
| skellat | At this point, I'm not sure. I'm a trained librarian and a journo with multiple years experience. | 21:39 |
| Cheri703 | ah, ok | 21:39 |
| skellat | Currently I'm waiting to hear back results on an interview I did with Voice of Russia's Washington DC bureau for a beat reporter job in DC | 21:39 |
| Cheri703 | very cool! | 21:40 |
| skellat | Yeah, wander around to press conferences to ask questions in English for English-speaking audiences | 21:40 |
| paultag | at least it's not RT ;) | 21:40 |
| skellat | paultag: I believe it is the same company though this is radio-side only http://voicerussia.com | 21:41 |
| paultag | Ahha | 21:41 |
| paultag | RT is actually not bad news, because they always report on stuff that makes the USA look bad | 21:42 |
| skellat | Yeah. Voice of Russia has no DC correspondent so it would be a new role. It would be nice to put a USian in the slot. | 21:43 |
| skellat | Beyond that bit with Voice of Russia...I got nuthin'... | 21:44 |
| skellat | So, what is paultag doing for the holidays? | 21:45 |
| paultag | not much, coding stuff | 21:45 |
| paultag | you? | 21:45 |
| skellat | Again, not much | 21:47 |
| paultag | ← currently multitasking, can't keep all the threads together right now | 21:47 |
| skellat | So, do either of you have ideas for the topical IRC meetings in January? I really don't want to lead off with The Joy of BeagleBoard-xM but we could. | 21:47 |
| paultag | could talk about upcoming events, get an Ubuntu hour together or something | 21:48 |
| skellat | We could | 21:49 |
| skellat | The big request during the last business meeting was for something topical akin to sessions seen in ubuntu-classroom but tailored to our Ohio audience | 21:50 |
| skellat | Crap | 22:00 |
| skellat | Gotta go | 22:00 |
| * skellat flees to handle stuff in meatspace | 22:00 | |
