[15:00]  * MarkDude is helping Ubuntu Oregon Team to award a pass they were given. We are using random.org to draw the number. Hoping to have at least one extra Ubuntu person NOT in drawing able to watch it - this afternoon
[15:00] <MarkDude> openness
[15:59] <MarkDude> philipballew, will monitor drawing this afternoon :)
[16:00] <philipballew> apparently I am monitoring the drawing.
[16:01] <MarkDude> Looks that way philipballew
[16:02] <MarkDude> With everyone in the drawing from Oregon- I want to make sure if a leader wins- its on the up and up- and picked live - with impartial trusted people
[16:02] <MarkDude> philipballew= Jesus= Buddha= Big Lebowski
[16:02] <MarkDude> <slight overstatement>
[16:07] <philipballew> I tried San Fransisco tap water today, and could taste the chemicals.
[16:08] <akk> SJ water is apparently very clean, but it's loaded with chlorine.
[16:18] <philipballew> akk, yeah, I am not used to this, so as soon as I tried to drink it my throat got really dry, and I think it's from the chlorine or something.
[16:18] <pleia2> philipballew: huh, where are you staying?
[16:19] <pleia2> (I still filter it, but ours is quite good even right out of the tap)
[16:20] <philipballew> pleia2, some guys floor in the mission near Noisebridge.
[16:21] <philipballew> not sure what the deal is, but I pored it out, and went to macdonalds to get water from the soda fountain.
[16:22] <pleia2> philipballew: maybe just bad pipes in the house? soda fountain is probably tap water too
[16:22] <philipballew> pleia2, your changing my view of the world here!
[16:22] <pleia2> ah, maybe mcdonalds does filter their soda fountain water
[16:23] <akk> I kind of doubt it.
[16:23] <pleia2> akk: I did too, but found http://howlermunkey.hubpages.com/hub/Why-does-Diet-Coke-taste-better-at-Mcdonalds
[16:23] <darthrobot`> Title: [Why does fountain Diet Coke taste better at Mcdonalds?]
[16:23] <philipballew> In-N-Out does
[16:23] <MarkDude> philipballew, is there any project or group of folks *unwilling* to let you crash on their floor?
[16:23] <philipballew> MarkDude, None that I have found yet
[16:24] <pleia2> (and a couple other supporting documents of similar legitimacy :))
[16:24]  * MarkDude is not aware of any. Fedora people at OSCON were happy to let you use some space- you mean that dude with Jesus sandals
[16:24] <pleia2> anyway, could also just be that tap water taste varies throughout the city
[16:24] <akk> Cool, pleia2 (on the filtering). Assuming it's true. :)
[16:24]  * philipballew looks FABULOUS in the Jesus sandals.
[16:25] <akk> But I'm going with pleia2's first diagnosis of pipes. Those make a big difference.
[16:25] <philipballew> the mission is a older part of town right?
[16:25] <philipballew> at least from the looks of it, it seems that way.
[16:25] <pleia2> not sure about older, but it's more poorly maintained (not as wealthy part of the city)
[16:26] <philipballew> ah, i see. That makes sense.
[16:27] <philipballew> I have a flight early out of sfo tomorrow, so I'm gonna see how much sleep I can get sitting in an airport terminal tonight. Maybe the water there will be good.
[16:27] <pleia2> philipballew: we can do a tap water experiment, swing by later and I'll give you some non-filtered water
[16:27] <philipballew> pleia2, Sounds like a plan to me!
[16:27] <pleia2> (I am quite busy today, but I can take 20 minutes to say hello if you want to pop over :))
[16:28] <pleia2> would be nice to see you!
[16:28] <philipballew> pleia2, sure! when would a good time be?
[16:28] <philipballew> I am free all day
[16:28]  * philipballew loves seeing pleia2 
[16:29] <pleia2> philipballew: could do lunch around 1:30
[16:29] <philipballew> I can do that. Want me to just pop up into your apartment for lunch or somewhere else?
[16:30] <pleia2> here is good, plenty of lunch places around
[16:31] <pleia2> just txt me when you arrive and I'll come down
[16:31] <philipballew> alright, perfect!
[16:31] <pleia2> (feel free to browse as you walk down new montgomery, I eat here every day, you can choose :))
[16:31] <philipballew> pleia2, alright, that sounds great. :)
[21:05] <akk> Hmph. The spellchecker on Ringtail has neither pangolin nor ringtail in it.
[21:40] <bkerensa> heh
