=== ChinnoBunny is now known as ChinnoDog
ChinnoDogadom: where in VA?15:35
adomWoodbridge. about a half hour South of Washington D.C.15:36
adomits really close actually, but traffic down here is hurrendous15:36
adomactually, arent you guys all near Philly? i guess you know bad traffic as well...haha15:36
adomthere are days when my gf drives home from her new job in Springfield which is like 18 miles away and it takes her over an hour.15:37
adomalthough now she's learned some different routes to shave off minutes here and there.15:38
ChinnoDogYou live near IKEA15:39
adomyeah, been there like 4 times already. in love.15:40
adomChinnoDog: do you know the area?15:40
ChinnoDogadom: I live in Merrifield, about 25 minutes away.15:42
ChinnoDogI mean, in good traffic. You know how that goes.15:42
adomthat's not far at all! i had an interview for a tier 1 network engineer position in Tyson's Corner last week. wow small world!15:43
adomChinnoDog: so wait, if you live here in VA like me, how'd you end up in #ubuntu-us-pa?15:43
ChinnoDogI moved here. lol15:44
ChinnoDogI've been here almost 2 years now15:44
ChinnoDogWhere in Tysons?15:44
adomcool!15:44
adomum...15:44
adomthinking of business name...15:44
adomi forget let me check email...15:44
adomChinnoDog: NTConnections http://www.ntconnections.net/PublicPages/Home.aspx15:45
adomi turned it down in favor of a better offer15:45
adomi actually got two great job offers in the same day and was pretty amazed15:46
adomChinnoDog: i cant believe we live so close! we should plan an awkward meet-up sometime!15:47
ChinnoDogI asked where in Tysons because my office is there.15:48
adomjesus. small world.15:49
adomfor all we know i couldve drove past you or something on that day.15:49
ChinnoDogI don't see much Ubuntu activity here. I've been idling in #ubuntu-us-dc since I go here and it is pretty dead15:49
ChinnoDogprobably not. I work from home most days.15:50
adomahh15:50
adomstill cool tho15:50
ChinnoDogWhen did you get here?15:51
adomVA? about 2 months ago. gf got a great job offer in Springfield, so we quit our jobs (we had 4 between the two of us), packed the apartment, threw the dog in the cab of a uhaul and headed down.15:53
adombig move for us, both of us have big "farm-families" back in PA and NY.15:53
adomi see JonathanD in #ubuntu-us-dc as well...did he move down here too?15:55
ChinnoDogEphrata is not very amazing in terms of job market. lol15:56
JonathanDadom: I run events so I hang out in all the reasonably local channels.15:56
JonathanDBut I'm near Philadelphia, myself.15:56
adomJonathanD: cool cool cool15:56
JonathanDSpeaking of events...15:57
JonathanDI'd like to do at least 2 geeknics this year.15:57
JonathanDOne to the Philly zoo, and one at a park (typical picnic with grills and frisbee and trails.)15:57
JonathanDThis summer, I mean.15:57
JonathanDAny interest? :)16:00
ChinnoDogThat is a long way to go for a picnic16:03
InHisNameadom: Where in VA ?  Near DC ?  Ought to be plenty around there.16:28
InHisNameAh Woodbridge, I used to live in Annandale years ago.16:29
adomyeah talking to ChinnoDog and found out about #ubuntu-us-dc (even if it is a ghosttown apparently >.<)16:29
InHisNameNot so ghosty anymore with two of you there.16:33
InHisNameIsn't there a MAJOR hackerspace in DC ?16:34
adomhmm, dunno. seems likely though.16:34
adomyeah16:35
adomhttp://www.hacdc.org/16:35
JonathanDChinnoDog: too long?17:07
ChinnoDogJonathanD: maybe17:09
ChinnoDogI was going to frequent HacDC but it is too far away17:09
ChinnoDogThere are a couple in Virginia near Dulles though17:09
JonathanDChinnoDog: oh, too far.17:21
JonathanDYeah, the park especially.17:21
JonathanDThe zoo at least is in the city.17:21
JonathanDThe park is probably in the burbs.17:21
adomHacDC membership dues are $50/month. seems steep just for being a member of the community. :/17:23
jedijf i think that's pretty much the average17:43
adomrly?18:00
adomim making a lot more here than i did in Erie, but that still might be a bit too expensive for my tastes. ill just keep to tinkering in our spare bedroom where i keep my PC parts.18:01
