rick_h_jcastro: rock it man13:09
rick_h_ah, that was more general vs 'right now'13:09
rick_h_nvm13:09
rick_h_always hate the day before vacation, don't want to take any new task on and leave it for a week13:09
snap-lHeh13:11
snap-ljcastro: Love this brainstorm talk13:16
jcastrobrainstorm is my pain13:16
snap-lEveryone agrees that bs is dead13:16
jcastroI joined the company and it was assigned to me13:16
jcastroit's not even my idea13:16
snap-lbut then someone comes along and says "I know! Let's integrate ideas into launchpad"13:16
snap-lnow you have n+1 problems.13:16
jcastrothat's basically the same shit13:16
rick_h_no more into launchpad13:17
snap-lHonestly, I think ask.ubuntu.com has been more productive for ideas than brainstorm ever was.13:17
rick_h_for ideas?13:17
snap-lbecause you can close it as "please file this as a bug"13:18
rick_h_for broken things, docs, hints at xxx...but I wouldn't say ideas13:18
jcastrothere's no ideas on askubuntu13:18
snap-lAny reason that's not the case/13:18
snap-l?13:18
snap-lSeems like the perfect meta topic13:19
jrwrenjcastro: nice!13:44
jrwrenjcastro: what are you going on there for? what you talking about?13:44
jcastroaskubuntu13:45
jcastroI think it's with a bunch of other stackexchange users13:45
jcastrolike, one guy from gaming, etc.13:45

jcastroyeah13:46
jcastrojrwren: that could be doable, ping me day of pls13:46
jcastrothis week is kind of crazy13:47
brouschI would have actually guessed 75% of posts13:47
jcastrobut I am speaking @ LUGWASH13:47
snap-ljcastro: You're not happening to come to MUG tonight? :)13:47
snap-lRaspberry Pi tonight: http://www.mug.org/13:48

jrwrenoh man, lugwash is still around?13:49
snap-lYeah, and apparently active13:49
snap-lKevin O'Brien is busily trying to attract speakers13:49
snap-lMuch like MUG is. ;)13:50

snap-lhttp://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1ebhb6/ubuntu_brainstorm_shuts_down/16:55
snap-lSome days I just want to smack people.16:55
rick_h_some? /me checks if today ends in 'y'16:57
flipsidecreationDealing with the general public statistically confirms this16:58
flipsidecreationperhaps Ubuntu is going the Apple route and will just tell people what they want17:00
jcastromaking opinionated decisions is what ubuntu has always been about17:29
greg-gIf you wanted choice, you'd stick with Debian. If you wanted a complete/configured system OOTB, go with Ubuntu17:32
flipsidecreationthat is why I only run pure debian for my servers17:32
rick_h_someone say orange please18:10
greg-gpurple18:11
greg-goh, sorry18:11
rick_h_suck18:11
greg-gorange18:11
rick_h_ty much18:11
jcastroflipsidecreation: does debian run a brainstorm?18:17
rick_h_does anyone run one? :P18:18
snap-ljcastro: Just have some janitor in the datacenter accidentally dump mercury in the brainstorm machine18:18
snap-linstant hazmat situation, have to decommission the server, so sorry.18:18
jjessehas there really been a bunch of pushback that brainstorm is being turned off?18:20
jcastronot really18:20
snap-ljjesse: Anytime the suggestion box is closed, people bitch18:21
jcastroI mean, if people cared about it that much it'd be maintained18:21
jjessesnap-l, yeah i know that18:21
snap-lEven if the only thing it contains is a dead centipede18:21
jjesseoh jcastro  were you in the Delta baggage area at Detroit Airport on Saturday evening?18:21
snap-land happens to be made of balsa wood and tears18:21
jjesseor do you have a doppleganger18:21
jcastrojjesse: yes, why yes I was!18:22
jcastrowith mark ramm18:22
flipsidecreationjcastro: I don't think they do18:22
jjesseah my wife son and i were just arriving from Baltimore18:22
jjesseand it was cheaper to fly into detroit than grand rapids18:22
jcastroah18:22
jcastronext time say something!18:22
snap-l"Hey! Guy that looks like Jorge!!!"18:23
jjessehaha i was trying to conrol my 5 year old who had just sat on a plane for 2 hours18:23
jjessedue to being delayed etc18:23
jrwrenyou could have controlled him by saying "go kick that guy in the shin and say hi jorge"18:25
rick_h_heh, it's how all the parents are saying 'hi' these days18:26
snap-lyou could have paid for his college that way.18:26
snap-lbecause I'm sure we all would have paid to see that.18:26
jrwrenflying between baltimore and detroit is kinda funny. its two very run down cities18:28
jjesselol18:31
jjesseboth airports are actually really nice18:31
jjesseBWI and DTW18:32
snap-lgreg-g: Someone else mentioned th G+ events problem19:50
snap-lI haven't seen that problem in a while.19:50
rick_h_I had it today :P19:50
rick_h_a certain mug event invite that came along19:50
greg-gnot to name names19:51
greg-g:P19:51
snap-lHeh19:51
snap-l"If you select no, you won't see any events on your calendar except for those which you've responded yes to. This setting only applies to you. People you've shared your calendar with will still be able to see all events on your calendar."19:51
snap-l"Automatically add invitations to my calendar:"19:51
snap-lBut I think it'll still pass them along to others(?)19:52
greg-gwhich, right, *that* makes sense19:52
greg-geffing google19:52
snap-lYeah, I don't quite get that shit.19:52
snap-lWhy the fuck would they add that to my ical feed?19:54
greg-gwhere do you see that option?19:54
snap-lUnder Calendar / (Gear) / Calendar Details19:54
snap-lunfortunately it still adds them to your .ics exports19:55
snap-lwhich is retarded.19:55
snap-lsorry, Calendar Settings / General /19:55
snap-lSo it'll hide it from your Google Calendar and phone19:56
snap-lbut not from people who you share your calendar with19:56
greg-gah, not in g+, where that shit is coming from19:56
greg-gno worries, went in and disabled a bunch of other annoying shit that was irking me19:56
snap-lI think you have to literally head to https://plus.google.com/u/0/events19:57
snap-land delete every event one by one by ...19:57
greg-glolz, I hover over the ? icon next to that setting, and I get "error" as the tooltip19:58
greg-gand I'm in chromium right now (logged into my work accoung in Fx)19:58
snap-lNice.19:59
snap-lSeriously, unless I say "yes, please" that event should go nowhere near my calendar.19:59
snap-lThat's a great way to get people into some serious trouble20:00
* snap-l makes a note to invite everyone to a repeating Brony event20:00
greg-gI like Bronys20:01
greg-gbut, wait, I don't think this setting is what I want. I want to see events that co-workers/Carrie invite me to, but not ones from G+20:02
snap-lI think that'll still work20:03
greg-gnot clear from the settings language20:04
greg-ggrumble grumble and people complain of FLOSS applications grumble grumble20:04
snap-lgreg-g: You should see an invite from me20:05
greg-gat least with FLOSS I can go to an IRC channel, be called a newb (by a 15 year old) and to RTFM that doesn't exist. But at least there's *that*.20:05
snap-lAlso, we're looking to get more folks into the MUG community so there's less chance of event-spamming20:09
rick_h_what's everyone's thought on https://github.com/mitechie/Bookie/issues/211 ? I like case sensitivity, but the usernames are part of urls and I do hate caps in urls.20:19
greg-gsnap-l: yeah, that test helped, the setting I saw wasn't the one I wanted20:20
greg-grick_h_: username *login* case sensitive, but no case insensitive collisions, urls all lowercase20:21
rick_h_greg-g: k20:22
greg-gthat's my preference20:23
brouschcase insensitive everywhere20:23
greg-gugh, this whole distraction made me delay this email I was writing. I just wanted to check my calendar for a date, and BAM, reassessment of my relationship with google20:30
brouschGoogle loves you. Never forget that.20:31
greg-gWhen I think of google I think of: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/overly-attached-girlfriend20:34
