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