[01:29] <JebsterKeyster> Hey ... I made it here! LOL
[01:30] <BobJonkman2> Hi JebsterKeyster!
[01:35] <aruna_> Hi Bob, Greetings to everyone at the Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener  :)
[01:35] <JebsterKeyster> Hi z
[01:35] <BobJonkman2> Hi aruna_!
[01:35] <JebsterKeyster> Hi Aruna
[01:35] <BobJonkman2> I'm here with JebsterKeyster and BrianB
[01:36] <aruna_> How goes the meeting ? Hi JebsterKeyster and BrianB
[01:36] <BobJonkman2> BrianB will be with us shortly
[01:36] <aruna_> sounds great :)
[01:36] <JebsterKeyster> Enjoying the meeting so far ...
[01:36] <JebsterKeyster> Just learning how to use the IRC
[01:38] <aruna_> Good to hear and IRC is a very nice tool am sure you will learn quickly with Bob showing you the ropes
[01:38] <JebsterKeyster> Yeah, he's a pretty good teacher
[01:39] <JebsterKeyster> I've used IRC before in another program years ago ... now I'm learning how to use pidgin
[01:39] <JebsterKeyster> BrianB is loading
[01:40] <JebsterKeyster> installing pidgin and learning how to get it up'n running with Bob.
[01:40] <aruna_> That he sure 'is' but he can be a pedantic conformance standards weenie at times and your gonna love Pidgin, it rocks !
[01:41] <JebsterKeyster> LOL ...
[01:41] <BobJonkman2> Hi BrianB1
[01:41] <aruna_> Pidgin has a plug-in called OTR ( Off The Record) that allows you to encrypt your chat so no one else is able to eavesdrop
[01:42] <JebsterKeyster> now he tells me ... after showing Bob what you typed! LOL
[01:42] <BrianB1> hi BobJonkman2
[01:42] <JebsterKeyster> that's handy tho ... I should look into adding that add-on
[01:43] <BobJonkman2> BrianB1 is to my left, JebsterKeyster is to my right
[01:43] <aruna_> Well thank god Bob is that because 'that' is how 'I' learnt a lot of stuff
[01:44] <aruna_> Heloo-ooh.. BrianB1 to Bob's left and  JebsterKeyster ( dat rhymes) to Bob's right :)
[01:49] <BobJonkman2> JebsterKeyster is just intalling OTR now
[01:51] <aruna_> Great ! Am signing into Pidgin but it greys out so may crash every so often
[01:52] <BobJonkman2> Not to worry. What are you using now?
[01:54] <aruna_> am using x-chat and I just logged into Pidgin
[01:55] <scumfgt> okay

[01:57] <scumfgt> ;(
[01:58] <BobJonkman2> Showing BrianB1 and JebsterKeyster the ropes of IRC
[01:58] <BobJonkman2> aruna_ is such a nice guy
[01:58] <scumfgt> BobJonkman2: you call that nice!??!
[01:58] <aruna_> that is not true, I gently persuaded scumbro to attend else I twist his arm
[01:58] <JebsterKeyster> ropes - slippery when wet. :D


[02:00] <aruna_> well so am "I" still in many areas
[02:01] <JebsterKeyster> Still getting used to Linux Mint too.
[02:01] <scumfgt> well
[02:01] <scumfgt> I installed xubuntu again on a netbook given to me by a certain neckbeard
[02:01] <scumfgt> xfce is solid
[02:01] <aruna_> andrew is gonna kill you for sure now
[02:02] <aruna_> lol
[02:02] <scumfgt> JebsterKeyster: what you working on with IRC?
[02:02] <JebsterKeyster> Just getting used to using Pidgin right now.
[02:02] <aruna_> scumfgt: he is just starting out
[02:02] <scumfgt> JebsterKeyster: true
[02:02] <scumfgt> JebsterKeyster: got any questions?
[02:03] <aruna_> JebsterKeyster: do not waste the opportunity, ASK away
[02:03] <JebsterKeyster> not yet ... but I still got Bob here to bug if I need it ... we're at the club meeting right now.
[02:04] <JebsterKeyster> Just wanted to get used to using this so I can join next time there's an onlilne meeting.
[02:04] <JebsterKeyster> Not that I'll follow the conversation much but that's expected from us noobs
[02:05] <JebsterKeyster> but I'm learning.
[02:05] <scumfgt> JebsterKeyster: most of my tech learning has been thanks to IRC
[02:05] <scumfgt> heh
[02:06] <BobJonkman2> Gotta go, Tony has turned off the music. Restaurant is closing
[02:06] <JebsterKeyster> that's another reason I want to learn how to use IRC too ... being a networking graduate (but inexperienced).
[02:06] <JebsterKeyster> yup ... gotta go too.
[02:06] <scumfgt> okay

[02:06] <JebsterKeyster> bye
[02:06] <aruna_> JebsterKeyster: later on you should drop by #torontocrypto
[05:10] <azend> hey
[05:11] <azend> BobJonkman: how did the meet go?
[05:30] <BobJonkman> O hai, azend
[05:30] <BobJonkman> Meeting was pretty good. Not many people, but interesting folks
[05:31] <BobJonkman> Spent some time with BrianB and JebsterKeyster getting them on IRC
[05:31] <BobJonkman> Hopefully we'll see more of them
[05:31] <BobJonkman> Thanx to aruna and the guys from #torontocrypto (on irc.oftc.net) for helping out with that
[15:34] <genii> CBC, why you hate Firefox?
[15:34]  * genii sighs
[16:11] <aruna_> Hey Genii check your gmail please :)
[16:12] <genii> aruna_: The one that says something like "Genii where ARE youuu ?"   ;)
[16:13] <aruna_> genii: Omg you had to do that ( yup dats the one )
[16:14] <genii> aruna_: I was overworked ( 25+ hours overtime each of last two weeks ) so I just took a bit of time for my sanity. I'm up for an Ubuntu Hour at Alio if you guys can figure out which day of those you want... so long as the owner there doesn't have a party pre-booked of course
[16:16] <aruna_> genii: I hope they gave you time and half ?  I did that long ago and did the week-end two days 14 hours each and happily waiting for the cheque only to be told "Oh you MUST work Monday to qualify" and no body told us dat
[16:17] <genii> aruna_: Yes, I get time and a half up to 20 hours OT, then double time after that
[16:17] <genii> We had roof and plumbing problems that I couldn't just ignore, unfortunately
[16:18] <aruna_> genii: oki sounds good to me, Bob may be coming down 22nd or so will discuss and then get back to you. Please email me your number I do not have it and  double time sounds good but you should  take care of yourself as well and am sorry about the roof and plumbing ( what the heck did u go smoke to blow the roof away ? :)
[16:21] <aruna_> genii: whatever it was that u smoked I want some please :)
[16:23] <genii> aruna_: The roof above Alio was being torn off and redone ( still in progress ), they didn't seal it properly on a Friday night so that Saturday my phone started ringing about "18 inches of water in the basement" etc. Had to run down and stuff garbage pails under the drips ( waterfall really, at 360-400 litres an hour coming in)
[16:24] <genii> aruna_: I'll PM my numbers to you
[16:27] <aruna_> genii: jesus and I had no heat for two days and my landlord says there is a air-block so I turned on my small personal heater. 18 inches of water ? Yikes I hope they don't get that mouldy stuff and it starts to smell real bad too. You should have taken pics and sent to the city boys n gals
[16:27] <aruna_> genni: am checking my PM right now thanks
[16:29] <genii> Luckily we have sump pumps down there, just they are on timers usually instead of just going off automatically. So we bypassed the timers and got the water out fairly fast. The bigger issue was sealing the roof temporarily. We had to shop-vac it all off and go over it carefully to see where it wasn't sealed right and fix it.
[16:32] <aruna_> lets hook up a raspberry-pi and linux to them pumps ? You went up on the roof in the rain ? Am not the only mad person here then.. :)
[16:32] <aruna_> Slippery wet roofs am scared of my friend uh-uh
[16:33] <genii> aruna_: Well, it's a flat industrial roof. but yeah, I got two soakers because about 10-12 inches of watery slush up there
[16:34] <aruna_> genii: am just glad you are alright, i would not go up on a roof when it's like that not safe
[16:34] <aruna_> genii: your a braver man than me sir
[16:35] <genii> aruna_: LOL ... that's why they pay me the big bucks... (not!)
[16:53] <aruna_> genii: am still not going up there is it's wet and full of slush and holes one can drop through :)
[18:22] <genii> I sort of feel sorry for the Austrian hockey team right now. Not even end of 2nd and we're up 6-0
[18:29] <IdleOne> yay! more points is better for us
[18:30] <genii> Hat trick for Carter
[19:11] <IdleOne> GO CANADA!
[19:19]  * genii does a little jig
[19:20] <genii> I had to go pick up some registered mail from the City. Basically it boils down to "Remove grafitti by March 11 or be fined"
[19:21] <genii> Problem right now is, I can't really paint over it because any paint I use will just freeze. Idiots.
[19:22] <azend> genii: aruna_ you guys should come down to the guelph-kw area some time :D
[19:24] <genii> azend: If I can get a lift I'll go :) I used to get free Greyhound but not any more.... Might be able to put out for a trip in May or June though
[19:25] <azend> yeah, greyhound is pretty expensive
[19:25] <azend> GO is a bit better but still up there
[19:26] <azend> Luckily you can take the train all the way here though :)
[19:32] <genii> azend: I just checked prices... $32-odd isn't bad for a return trip
[19:32] <azend> If you round up another person, it would be cheaper to get a rental car :P
[19:34] <genii> Hm.
[19:53] <aruna_> azend: would love to drop by but the bus fare I can put to good use to put food on the table
[19:53] <aruna_> azend: me and genii will come up soon
[19:54] <aruna_> azend: I still 'flinch' at the thought of 'you' at dufferin mall in summer shorts and a hocky shirt when it was blizzard conditions
[19:55] <azend> aruna_: haha
[19:55] <azend> you wouldn't be the first one
[19:56] <aruna_> oh-kay my kernel is compiled in just over eight minutes and boots fine but usb does not, what did i do or not do ?  you wear that stuff in weather like that your gonna be one very sick with the flue bug
[19:57] <aruna_> genii: $32 return is not bad you know..
[19:58] <genii> aruna_: That's for the GO train, yeah may be manageable
[19:58] <aruna_> genii: the train is faster right ?
[19:58] <genii> Hopefully :)
[19:59] <genii> AFK discussing grafitti situation with boss on phone
[19:59] <aruna_> well it is manageable, so maybe we should go up for a ubuntu hour in guelph ? graffiti ? you wipe it clean the kids will be back with fresh cans of paint :)
[20:01] <aruna_> am baking butternut -squash and I got rice, all you who are hungry are welcome
[20:02] <aruna_> azend: maybe have a presentation on how to compile your own custom kernel and why ? we will come !
[20:03] <aruna_> I am thinking of emailing scott and myles and asking if such a presentation would be of value to the GTALUG members
[20:03] <MylesBraithwaite> aruna_ we haven't had a presentation like that in a long time
[20:03] <MylesBraithwaite> it might be worth while
[20:04] <genii> aruna_: Some stupid bylaw enforcement officer is going to give us a ticket unless we clear it off by March 11. So it's a while still. Just that I have to put paint on outside when it's above freezing for a day or it will just turn to ice and separate
[20:04] <genii> aruna_: My boss is going to call the officer directly and discuss it with her.
[20:04] <aruna_> Hey Myles, thats what I felt but wanted a consensus first but if you think it's a good idea then we will have that soon :) once I get this silly USB going
[20:07] <aruna_> genii: if you need a extar pair of hands I am willing, let me know and ask NorthernCracker aka Andrew from torontocryoto to hack that by law officers cell and his ticket machine ?
[20:08] <genii> Heh
[20:08] <aruna_> am not kidding he 'can' do shit like that :)
[20:10] <genii> aruna_: Mostly it's just annoying because there's not anything we can do anyhow. And the last day it was warm I covered up all the other grafitti so it's not like we're being lax or so on.
[20:11] <aruna_> genii: the officer you said is female correct ? have you ever met a female that you understood ? I am yet to ( no offense to our linux-chix) so good luck
[20:14]  * genii makes more coffee and contemplates
[20:15] <aruna_> genii: explain to the officer nicely ? and cupcakes and coffee can be irresistible ? why is she giving you guys a hard time ?
[20:18] <genii> aruna_: What sort of irks me is that if she bothered to walk down our driveway, she'd see how our side has zero grafitti and the Greyhound station side is plastered with it
[20:20] <aruna_> so grab her by the arm and drag her and SHOW her ? You may get busted though :)
[20:21] <aruna_> they tend to call that 'assault'  and I like to think of it as 'raising awareness'
[20:22] <genii> aruna_: We just have a letter from her, she's not around personally anyplace here :)
[20:22] <aruna_> oh dear they issued a letter ? that's serious better do something soon then :(
[20:23] <aruna_> I don mind coming by to help
[20:23] <aruna_> and am pretty close
[20:26] <genii> I think we'll be fine. Just have to make sure I check the weather for the next day that will be above freezing for most of the day
[20:29] <aruna_> oh-kay :)
