[09:34] <rmg51> Morning
[10:05] <JonathanS> Morning.
[10:35] <rmg51> what happened to your D?
[10:58] <JonathanD> rmg51: splits.
[11:06] <rmg51> that's better
[11:10] <JonathanD> It is snowing.
[11:10] <JonathanD> Quite a bit.
[11:28] <rmg51> time for me to go out into it :P
[12:09] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else
[12:10] <JonathanD> Morning.
[12:10] <teddy-dbear> o/
[14:19] <adom> whoa is this thing still on?
[14:20] <adom> just brought my screen session back up, cant believe its still running!
[14:21] <adom> 10:21 -!- Irssi: Uptime: 152d 11h 41m 39s
[14:22] <adom> well anyway, for those few of you that remember me, i have bad news. i recently moved to VA. so I'll be looking for an Ubuntu users group here. still love you guys though.
[14:23] <adom> ok, so there might not be any...but im in high hopes
[14:24] <JonathanD> start one :P
[14:25] <adom> i guess i could...
[14:25] <adom> just seems like a bunch of idling and minimal interaction :/
[15:34] <ChinnoBunny> I turned into a bunny
[15:35] <ChinnoDog> adom: where in VA?
[15:36] <adom> Woodbridge. about a half hour South of Washington D.C.
[15:36] <adom> its really close actually, but traffic down here is hurrendous
[15:36] <adom> actually, arent you guys all near Philly? i guess you know bad traffic as well...haha
[15:37] <adom> there 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.
[15:38] <adom> although now she's learned some different routes to shave off minutes here and there.
[15:39] <ChinnoDog> You live near IKEA
[15:40] <adom> yeah, been there like 4 times already. in love.
[15:40] <adom> ChinnoDog: do you know the area?
[15:42] <ChinnoDog> adom: I live in Merrifield, about 25 minutes away.
[15:42] <ChinnoDog> I mean, in good traffic. You know how that goes.
[15:43] <adom> that'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] <adom> ChinnoDog: so wait, if you live here in VA like me, how'd you end up in #ubuntu-us-pa?
[15:44] <ChinnoDog> I moved here. lol
[15:44] <ChinnoDog> I've been here almost 2 years now
[15:44] <ChinnoDog> Where in Tysons?
[15:44] <adom> cool!
[15:44] <adom> um...
[15:44] <adom> thinking of business name...
[15:44] <adom> i forget let me check email...
[15:45] <adom> ChinnoDog: NTConnections http://www.ntconnections.net/PublicPages/Home.aspx
[15:45] <adom> i turned it down in favor of a better offer
[15:46] <adom> i actually got two great job offers in the same day and was pretty amazed
[15:47] <adom> ChinnoDog: i cant believe we live so close! we should plan an awkward meet-up sometime!
[15:48] <ChinnoDog> I asked where in Tysons because my office is there.
[15:49] <adom> jesus. small world.
[15:49] <adom> for all we know i couldve drove past you or something on that day.
[15:49] <ChinnoDog> I don't see much Ubuntu activity here. I've been idling in #ubuntu-us-dc since I go here and it is pretty dead
[15:50] <ChinnoDog> probably not. I work from home most days.
[15:50] <adom> ahh
[15:50] <adom> still cool tho
[15:51] <ChinnoDog> When did you get here?
[15:53] <adom> VA? 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] <adom> big move for us, both of us have big "farm-families" back in PA and NY.
[15:55] <adom> i see JonathanD in #ubuntu-us-dc as well...did he move down here too?
[15:56] <ChinnoDog> Ephrata is not very amazing in terms of job market. lol
[15:56] <JonathanD> adom: I run events so I hang out in all the reasonably local channels.
[15:56] <JonathanD> But I'm near Philadelphia, myself.
[15:56] <adom> JonathanD: cool cool cool
[15:57] <JonathanD> Speaking of events...
[15:57] <JonathanD> I'd like to do at least 2 geeknics this year.
[15:57] <JonathanD> One to the Philly zoo, and one at a park (typical picnic with grills and frisbee and trails.)
[15:57] <JonathanD> This summer, I mean.
[16:00] <JonathanD> Any interest? :)
[16:03] <ChinnoDog> That is a long way to go for a picnic
[16:28] <InHisName> adom: Where in VA ?  Near DC ?  Ought to be plenty around there.
[16:29] <InHisName> Ah Woodbridge, I used to live in Annandale years ago.
[16:29] <adom> yeah talking to ChinnoDog and found out about #ubuntu-us-dc (even if it is a ghosttown apparently >.<)
[16:33] <InHisName> Not so ghosty anymore with two of you there.
[16:34] <InHisName> Isn't there a MAJOR hackerspace in DC ?
[16:34] <adom> hmm, dunno. seems likely though.
[16:35] <adom> yeah
[16:35] <adom> http://www.hacdc.org/
[17:07] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: too long?
[17:09] <ChinnoDog> JonathanD: maybe
[17:09] <ChinnoDog> I was going to frequent HacDC but it is too far away
[17:09] <ChinnoDog> There are a couple in Virginia near Dulles though
[17:21] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: oh, too far.
[17:21] <JonathanD> Yeah, the park especially.
[17:21] <JonathanD> The zoo at least is in the city.
[17:21] <JonathanD> The park is probably in the burbs.
[17:23] <adom> HacDC membership dues are $50/month. seems steep just for being a member of the community. :/
[17:43] <jedijf>  i think that's pretty much the average
[18:00] <adom> rly?
[18:01] <adom> im 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.
