[18:44] <efm> hi all is there going to be something going on for the global-jam in colorado?
[18:45] <FunnyLookinHat> efm, I haven't heard of anything - but you should post to the mailing list to see if there is any other buy-in
[18:45] <FunnyLookinHat> Something might just come about at the last minute  :)
[18:45] <efm> I'm not on the mailing list FunnyLookinHat
[18:45] <FunnyLookinHat> Well you should be!
[18:46] <efm> yeah, I know
[18:46] <FunnyLookinHat> That's where a majority of our communication takes place - the IRC channel is basically just a placeholder
[22:11] <ToyKeeper> Funny, that's how the LCDproc project works too...  its IRC channel generally has nothing to do with the project, and only the mailing list is really useful.
[22:11] <ToyKeeper> It's weird when people ask me about it though, since I haven't been involved in that project for like a decade.
[22:11] <FunnyLookinHat> heh]
[22:17] <Cheri703> FunnyLookinHat: that is pretty much the opposite of u-ohio :) we're active on IRC and not the mailing list.
[22:17] <Cheri703> ToyKeeper: are you the same person who comes in to U-Women on occasion? If not, very similar name
[22:18] <ToyKeeper> Yup, that's me.
[22:18] <ToyKeeper> I just ... er, haven't been on freenode much lately.
[22:18] <Cheri703> I met you in Budapest :) I played SET in the hallway with you
[22:18] <ToyKeeper> Oh, hi!  :)
[22:19] <Cheri703> I am going to be moving to Denver in June :)
[22:19] <ToyKeeper> I have a hard time keeping up with ~10 chat networks, each with several channels.
[22:19] <Cheri703> makes sense :)
[22:22] <ToyKeeper> I remembered to come back here because Steam launched yesterday for Linux and I needed a public network where I could talk to Valve to help them publish it.
[22:23] <FunnyLookinHat> heh
[22:23] <ToyKeeper> Kinda weird...  the person handling that is a guy I used to run into a lot back in the 90s when I was doing a lot of graphics algorithms.  Haven't talked to him in a decade.
[22:24] <ToyKeeper> It's his fault my code ended up in a bunch of free and commercial projects.  Like, I was rather surprised when I bought a PS2 Game Shark and saw my own water simulation running behind the menus.
[23:49] <efm> Cheri703: are you coming to Colorado for a job?
[23:49] <efm> that's cool Toykeeper, some parts of the net are a really small tow
[23:49] <efm> n
[23:55] <Cheri703> efm: I have a job that lets me work from anywhere, so I'm taking advantage of that and moving somewhere new and more interesting :) Right now I live in a small town in ohio and I hate it. I moved here from Columbus, and I'm ready to a. get out of ohio, b. get back to civilization, and c. be done with humid summers
[23:55] <efm> Cheri703: then colorado would fit. Why did you pick Denver, rather than Boulder or Fort Collins?
[23:56]  * efm thinks Fort Collins is rather nice
[23:56] <Cheri703> boulder is more expensive cost of living (from what I understand) and Denver had a few things I was interested in. :) Also very bike friendly. I'm car-free, so public transit and bike trails and such are nice
[23:57] <Cheri703> I'm already having sticker shock, new place will be >2x as much as current place, going from smallish 2 bedroom house with a garage and yard to a 1 bd apartment >_<
[23:57] <efm> it's getting a lot easier to live without a car.
[23:57] <efm> that amount of space change will be a good reason to get rid of things.
[23:57] <Cheri703> oh, for sure
[23:58]  * efm has had good success with dropping possessions this year
[23:58] <Cheri703> I'm only taking like 2-3 furniture items, and those all collapse to pretty small amounts of space. I'm driving my stuff out in a uhaul, and goal is to get the smallest truck possible. no point in moving stuff that I don't really like or doesn't really meet my needs anyway :)
