[08:32] <Psil0Cybin> Although it is 3:31 am.
[08:32] <Psil0Cybin> I did not know Ubuntu had a Canadian team. this is exciting!
[09:15] <BobJonkman1> Did you join the mailing list? https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca
[16:35] <genii> Dammit CBC, why you no stream Canada vs Finland in some useful format for Linux?
[17:05] <genii> I'm somewhat pissed off now.
[19:22] <IdleOne> Canada takes Gold - Silver - Bronze in Men's Moguls!!!!

[19:25] <genii> Like almost literally "Own the Podium"
[19:26] <IdleOne> I suppose Russia needs to win a medal or two also :/
[19:27] <IdleOne> genii: CBC works perfect with Chrome btw
[19:28] <genii> Maybe I'll give that a try. It was royally pissing me off earlier.

[19:47] <Psil0Cybin> start*
[19:48] <Psil0Cybin> I have a question for you genii , if I really want to do something with Linux when it comes to my Career, what would be the best schooling program to take in Canada?
[19:49] <Psil0Cybin> I am currently at York University but I hate my program and am dropping out.
[19:49] <genii> Psil0Cybin: Probably something at Waterloo
[19:49] <Psil0Cybin> alright I will need to look into this.
[19:51] <genii> http://www.ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/0708/COURSE/course-CS.html
[19:52] <Psil0Cybin> Thank you so much genii!
[19:53] <genii> :D
[19:53] <Psil0Cybin> Now I just need to figure out my OSAP Situation :(
[19:53] <Psil0Cybin> living alone is a murder.
[19:53] <Psil0Cybin> but thank you I am printing that out...
[19:53] <Psil0Cybin> I really was clueless, I do not have a good support system..
[20:17] <BobJonkman1> Hi Psil0Cybin: Add yourself to the Canadian Team at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ca
[20:17] <BobJonkman1> That page has a bunch of links to other useful Ubuntu-ca resources
[20:18] <BobJonkman1> You came in at a good time - there's all kinds of stuff happening in the next three weeks: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ca/2014-February/010270.html
[20:24] <genii> BobJonkman1: Hehe "1) Announce you're doing it.  2) Do it."
[20:24] <BobJonkman1> I tried to get it down to one bullet point, but I was feeling particularly verbose
[20:25] <Psil0Cybin> Woww! guys and ladies !! this is phenomenal!!
[20:27] <Psil0Cybin> joined :D
[20:27] <Psil0Cybin> oh wow most people use there real names to sign up
[20:27] <Psil0Cybin> I might need to make a new persona lmao! I dont think this nickname is professional.
[20:27]  * Psil0Cybin face palm.
[20:28] <BobJonkman1> Hehe. Not to worry.
[20:28] <BobJonkman1> Generate a new ID for each new purpose.
[20:28] <Psil0Cybin> well we will see i guess if I do start doing nice things I might want to take some credit under my real name lolll. :D something to put on a resume.
[20:29] <BobJonkman1> Hide your ID with strong crypto (TOR, OTR, GnuPG)
[20:29] <BobJonkman1> Psil0Cybin: Absolutely!
[20:29] <BobJonkman1> Speaking of strong crypto, TLUG has a keysigning party tomorrow: https://torontocrypto.org/TorontoCrypto:Current_events
[20:30] <Psil0Cybin> Oh my god man!! how come I live in Toronto and NEVER knew about any of this.....
[20:30] <Psil0Cybin> well I live a little bit north of downtown but still
[20:30] <Psil0Cybin> sooo close :D
[20:30] <Psil0Cybin> So sad man that I only discovered this today.....but still i am going to make the best of this.
[20:33] <Psil0Cybin> wow Canada has alot of team members
[20:34] <BobJonkman1> StartupNorth has a pretty good calendar of tech events. But they miss some stuff... http://startupnorth.ca/calendar/
[20:36] <BobJonkman1> And #TorontoCrypto is on IRC at irc://irc.oftc.net/#torontocrypto
[20:36] <Psil0Cybin> book marked! Thanks for all the information no joke, this is really neat I know i keep being repetitive, but still like What an amazing community, and sooo close! oh man kk this was the last time I am going to shout my excitement to the roof tops.
[20:37] <Psil0Cybin> oh wow
[20:37] <BobJonkman1> Psil0Cybin: Don't be fooled by the Ubuntu-ca Web presence. There's only a few dozen really active members.
[20:38] <Psil0Cybin> oh actually but still, this is something I could slowly get my friends into....I recently converted all my friends over to Linux from windows 8 :D And I have been teaching them new things every day.
[20:38] <Psil0Cybin> they love it.
[20:38] <Psil0Cybin> we just wished we got into this at a younger age, we are all 23 now..but still not too old to start, I remember being in grade 7 trying to get Slackware on my machine and I gave up after I could never get the ndiswrapper to work
[20:39] <BobJonkman1> 23! Isn't that too old to learn anything new?
[20:39] <Psil0Cybin> well, I have a job, skewl, sigh, a dog.... a girlfriend it gets hectic.
[20:39] <Psil0Cybin> but I love Linux, I am changing my school program.
[20:39] <Psil0Cybin> I was at York University but I hate it there.
[20:39] <BobJonkman1> </tongue-in-cheek dialled to 11>
[20:40] <BobJonkman1> Come to Waterloo. The Ubuntu community here is fantastic
[20:40] <Psil0Cybin> i want too! genii just showed me a cool program I printed out. I was looking at George Brown for computer networkin
[20:41] <Psil0Cybin> or something simple to start off just because I am all over the place
[20:41] <Psil0Cybin> its hard for me to move out to a new school.
[20:41] <BobJonkman1> Yep, change is tough
[20:41] <genii> Psil0Cybin: I'm in Toronto as well
[20:41] <Psil0Cybin> Unless I commute, but still...if I am a full time student isnt that impossible.
[20:41] <BobJonkman1> aruna is in Toronto too, but offline right now
[20:41] <Psil0Cybin> Like I have a car, the drive is what 1 hr and a half?
[20:42] <BobJonkman1> Psil0Cybin: Yes, something like that.
[20:42] <Psil0Cybin> hmmmmm sigh I would not mind, but the gas bill would murder me.
[20:42] <BobJonkman1> My son is at UofT, so I'm in Toronto occasionally to pickup/dropoff
[20:42] <Psil0Cybin> I think I really need to sit down with someone take a look at my options and stop wasting time.
[20:43] <Psil0Cybin> :)
[20:43] <genii> Psil0Cybin: There is also the Linux Certified Professionls Institute
[20:43] <Psil0Cybin> genii: I do not mind Toronto I just hate the blasted commutes, from one school to the next.
[20:43] <Psil0Cybin> Actually?
[20:43] <Psil0Cybin> can you give me more information on this?
[20:44] <BobJonkman1> genii: Isn't Evan Lebowitz involved with that?
[20:44] <genii> BobJonkman1: Not sure
[20:44] <BobJonkman1> I think Jeff Smith @crankyoldbugger just completed his LPI certs
[20:44] <genii> Psil0Cybin: http://www.lpi.org/
[20:45] <Psil0Cybin> Can I say one thing, This is so sad...I never had a proper guidance councillor explain to me, that there are so many options for someone that is interested in Linux.
[20:45] <Psil0Cybin> and Open Source Development.
[20:46] <Psil0Cybin> I was pushed into Health Informatics (Health and Data Management) which is neat, but I hate Health Politics.
[20:47] <BobJonkman1> Don't give up so easily. There's a contract development shop in Waterloo that works on OSCAR.
[20:47] <Psil0Cybin> I have got to say talking to you guys for the last couple of minutes, has probably changed my life for the better.
[20:47] <Psil0Cybin> so thank you BobJonkman1 , genii you guys are truly amazing people.
[20:47] <BobJonkman1> Joe Wennechuk @youcanreachmehere is an Ubuntu guy who works there.
