[00:43] <Darkwing> Trying to warm up
[00:44] <philipballew> Darkwing, Indiana problems.
[00:45] <Darkwing> It was -40 Windchill a couple days ago.
[00:47] <philipballew> Is Ft Wayne able to cope, or is there any big problems because of it?
[00:48] <Darkwing> The state was under emergancy travel only for two days.
[00:48] <Darkwing> Well, that about because we had a blizzard.
[00:48] <Darkwing> But, we weathered it.
[00:49] <Darkwing> Looking forward to a Cali trip at some point.
[00:49] <philipballew> Darkwing, California is waiting.
[00:50] <Darkwing> LOL
[00:50] <raevol> sup sup Darkwing
[00:50] <raevol> philipballew: yea :D i think so
[00:50] <Darkwing> I have a NICE house for a low price over here lol
[00:51] <philipballew> Darkwing, yeah, I don't plan on living on California in several years.
[00:51] <raevol> philipballew: i'll update you, but for now, i must away ere break of day to find my long forgotten gold
[00:51] <Darkwing> My morgage is 650mo for a 3 bed 2 1/2 bath 1800 sqft house.
[00:52] <philipballew> that is hella good.
[00:52] <philipballew> Ive been to that part of Indiana about 4 times. It's not bad at all.
[00:52] <Darkwing> It a really nice area.
[00:52] <Darkwing> Plus, Ingress is awesome here.
[00:53] <philipballew> I hear it's a fun game.
[00:54] <rww> i should probably get that
[00:54] <rww> not sure my phone can handle it tho
[00:54] <Darkwing> ohhhhhhh dude....

=== jono is now known as Guest35005
[04:08] <iheartubuntu> greets everyone :)
[04:17] <nhaines> rww: when you play Ingress, be Resistance like me.
[04:17] <nhaines> iheartubuntu: howdy.  :)
[04:18] <iheartubuntu> Happy New year Nathan!
[04:19] <nhaines> iheartubuntu: thanks, and you too!  :)  I hope yours has been great so far!
[04:19] <iheartubuntu> yes! what i remember of it anyhow :)
[04:19] <nhaines> haha  :)
[04:19] <nhaines> I'm doing pretty good at organization this year.  I plan to post on Planet about it.
[04:20] <iheartubuntu> ive switched from beer to fireball whiskey... a move to cut down on carbs :) my wife does not like this idea
[04:21] <iheartubuntu> are you attending SCaLE?
[04:21] <iheartubuntu> i hope ot make it
[04:22] <iheartubuntu> Ive been using Elementary OS on my 3 main machines. Really like it a lot. I just installed Xubuntu on an old system at work. I love it. Finally found something modern that works on a 10 year old system. Many similarities to eOS.. I wonder if they took some nods fro mXubuntu
[04:23] <nhaines> iheartubuntu: haha, still beer for me but the last articles I sold did get me a new bottle of scotch!  :)  I'm very much hoping to attend SCaLE again.  This'll be number 7 I think.
[04:24] <iheartubuntu> what kind of scotch?
[04:24] <nhaines> Elementary OS didn't impress me, although I was annoyed that it supported dual monitors on my laptop with no problem when Ubuntu doesn't.  :)
[04:24] <nhaines> 12 year Macallan.  Aged in sherry casks!
[04:24] <iheartubuntu> I have fond memories of scotch. I grew up waiting for my dad to come home from work, sit on his lap, get him a scotch and light his cigar as we watch Star Trek!
[04:25] <nhaines> Funny how those memories stick with us!
[04:25] <iheartubuntu> I still cant get into scotch. I must need to find the right kind
[04:26] <nhaines> Well, Macallan is nice, and Glenlivet is also very smooth.  I suppose the best thing to do is find a bar with a good selection or somewhere that does tastings.  :)
[04:26] <iheartubuntu> anyone interested in the best irish coffee head over to Caseys Irish Pub in downtown LA. Better than the Buena Vistas IMO
[04:27] <iheartubuntu> good idea
[04:27] <iheartubuntu> real whiskey & coffee and a nice head of homemade cream on it
[04:27] <nhaines> That does sound good!
[04:31] <nhaines> How's the news site going?
[04:32] <iheartubuntu> been slow. im trying to revive it with some bitcoin news
[04:32] <iheartubuntu> i notice many of the ubuntu blogs out there have nosedived
[04:32] <iheartubuntu> some good ones too
[04:32] <nhaines> You could always talk about the Ubuntu bitcoin app.  :)
[04:32] <iheartubuntu> theres really just OMG Ubuntu and a couple others left
[04:32] <iheartubuntu> yes i do want to
[04:32] <iheartubuntu> there are several bitcoin wallet apps
[04:33] <iheartubuntu> and from thr bitcoin conference i went to some amazing stuff coming to ubuntu soon
[04:33] <nhaines> Oh, I meant the Ubuntu SDK-based one.  But yeah, there are some interesting bitcoin opportunities out there.
[04:33] <iheartubuntu> i wish canonical would start accepting BTC for payments of things... app store purchases, askubuntu boutnies, etc
[04:34] <iheartubuntu> bounties
[04:34] <nhaines> Ask Ubuntu is run by Stack Exchange.  :)
[04:34] <iheartubuntu> overstock.com just started accepting BTC this morning
[04:34] <nhaines> But yeah, it would be handy.  Probably fairly easy.  In fact, you could really integrate bitcoin into Ubuntu One if you wanted to.
[04:34] <nhaines> I saw that.  Very exciting.
[04:35] <iheartubuntu> theres easy ways to integrate it too. right within the cart itself or at the final payment point.
[04:35] <iheartubuntu> is canonical at CES this year?
[04:35] <nhaines> Hmm, I don't know.  I thought they were but now I can't place any sources.
[04:40] <iheartubuntu> i want to record a podcast. anyone know how to do it on ubuntu? maybe with skype/
[04:40] <iheartubuntu> ?
[04:41] <nhaines> Audacity.
[04:42] <nhaines> And if you need remote or call-in support, then Mumble.  :)
[04:50] <iheartubuntu> hmmm OK thanks
[05:54] <iheartubuntu> catch everyone on the flip side :) nice chatting @nhaines
[17:24] <raevol> happy Friday!!
[20:30] <kdub> happy friday raevol
[20:30] <rww> i think i will go to Diablo Valley LUG today
[21:08] <raevol> kdub ! good to hear from you man :) hope things are well
[21:09] <kdub> yep, pretty good
[21:09] <kdub> we should resurrect raevol / kdub / philipballew time (aka the SD ubuntu hour)
[21:19] <raevol> definitely... been hard to get ahold of philipballew lately, though i should probably try harder haha
[21:36] <philipballew> kdub, I could be down for something like that sure.
[21:41] <philipballew> raevol, excited about your talk I assume?
[21:42] <raevol> philipballew: yea :) waiting to get a confirmation of my confirmation, just to be sure, but yea super excited!
[21:43] <philipballew> raevol, The speakers room is always nice then.
[21:44] <philipballew> food and coffee is always a plus
[21:48] <raevol> hahaha
[22:18] <philipballew> raevol, I am usually free most of the weekends these days if we want to do a meetup. The weeks are jam packed these days it seems.
[22:18] <philipballew> might be able to do a weeknight, but I'll have to look into that
[22:18] <philipballew> kdub, ^
[22:19] <kdub> eh, workdays are a bit better, but i'm flexible
[22:22] <raevol> philipballew: yea a weekend might work for me too...
[22:22] <raevol> hmm
[22:22] <raevol> hahahaha
[22:25] <philipballew> I'll look at my schedule next week,  and we should try to do one before scale then.
