=== belkinsa_ is now known as belkinsa [12:32] ;invite QuantumParadox [12:34] hey room [12:35] It's just me and log bot most of the time. [12:35] Oh [12:35] But I'm trying to get the team going. [12:35] So, what is your name and what do you do in life? [12:36] I'm Svetlana and I'm an undergrad biology student. [12:37] Nice to meet you. I'm James and I ama studnt at RIT in New york adn I study computing security, computer science with a emp. on scientific computing [12:37] and Ihave to do Co-ops so I work in a scientific envirment; NASA, NRAO so fare [12:37] Nice to meet you too. [12:37] Are you an American? [12:38] You are lucky that you have Co-Ops in your major. [12:38] No, I'm Russian but I lived in USA for 20 years now. [12:38] Yup and cool. I like Russia. I took a classs on the rise adn fall of the USSR [12:38] and I love your military music [12:39] the old USSR anthem [12:39] the space race [12:39] and your hitory [12:39] history [12:39] Are you in your 20's? [12:39] Yup. [12:39] 23. [12:39] 29 [12:39] I jsut tured 29 [12:39] But you are a grad student, right? [12:39] Yes [12:40] Well I am in a program that is undergrad + Grad [12:40] so I take both classes [12:40] * belkinsa also took a Russian history class and liked it (but it went from 1200's to fall of USSR) [12:40] Just wanted to be honest [12:40] Sounds like a good idea. [12:40] Too bad that there isn't something like that for biology at University of Cincinnati or else where. [12:41] See, I been in school for years because I love it. I started out at New Mexico tech for astrophysics and astrobiology at Florida Tech and now computer science, computing security adn a minor in Microelectronics at RIT and I do thigns at Cornell [12:41] My univeirsty history is complcated [12:42] I know what you mean. There is times when I want to stay in school to just learn about things. [12:42] For your biology I love virology, infectious dieseases and cell bio [12:42] The thing is, I don't want to work unless it is in the space program [12:43] I am not intersted in working for a company to make them rich [12:43] I am intersted in changing the world for the better and I believe i can do that in space sciences [12:43] I know what you mean and I want to do the same. [12:43] I mean I can help the scientists do their work by making sure thier systems are safe and running smoothly [12:44] * belkinsa nods [12:44] I have orked with some of the most intelligent people in the world; NASA JPL, NRAO, CERN and I know I can help them [12:44] That's good to hear! [12:45] How about you [12:45] What do you want to do? [12:45] What is your interest in Biology? [12:46] Cell bio, mainly anything with DNA/RNA like DNA repair. [12:46] those protains are interesting for DNA repair [12:46] How come they let some genetic code mutate [12:46] mutate [12:46] Or how they know that there is a mistake in the DNA. [12:47] I stayed up all night and so my brain is shuttign down [12:47] Yes [12:47] Go to sleep then! [12:47] Now on April 30, I will be having dinner with my frien Niel Tyson from Cosmos. [12:47] so I am going to tlak to him more about that [12:48] OMG! Lucky you! [12:48] Have you seen Cosmos [12:48] Is it a show? [12:48] I know this is IRC and I know people can say anything and get them to beleive them but I am real adn I will meet with him [12:49] Yes, Cosmos on FOX [12:49] I thought you would be watching it [12:49] it's a update to Carl Sagan's Cosmos [12:49] Neil Tyson is hosting it [12:49] No. I don't watch TV. [12:49] Neither do I. I jsut pirate it from USEnet [12:49] useNET [12:50] I pirate too. [12:50] I hope you use a VPn [12:50] VPN [12:50] Or YouTube or have streaming live internet radio for my needs. [12:51] I've been pirating since I was 11 back in 1996 [12:51] I even pirated my neighboor's AOL dial up account. lol [12:51] I have since, I don't remember. [12:51] 2008, I think. [12:51] Now I have 10 of terabyites of crap [12:52] man, you are fun to chat with [12:52] You too. [12:52] so, what brings you from Russia to America [12:52] IRC is too quiet at times but at the wrong times. [12:54] My parents. My dad moved to Cincinnati because of grad school (he has his PhD in analytical chemistry ) because the postdoc was the only one that did research in my dad's field. [12:54] He moved in 1992 then one year later me and mom moved. And I was 2 and half when that happened. [12:55] cool [12:55] Are you now a US citizen [12:56] Yeah, but I have dual citizenship. [12:56] Cool [12:56] What do you think of Russia invading Ukerian adn taking part of it? [12:57] I heard in Ukran it is Right wing religous people [12:57] But I am not sure for sure [12:58] I think it's wrong but the problem is that it's history that is powering Russia to do it. Also, I smell another break up of Russia and Ukraine. [12:58] And another country will form. [13:00] Yup [13:00] Do you Skype or Gtalk [13:00] I would love to voic chat [13:00] if it's cool with you [13:01] My Skype: QuantumParadox [13:02] Gmail: James.QuantumParadox@gmail.com [13:03] If it is cool with you [13:04] Are you still there [13:05] I don't use those, not even my XMPP. [13:08] oh [13:08] Do you do google hangouts [13:08] And I only do Hangouts when needed, like for vUDS. [13:08] oh [13:09] Though, it would be cool to connect to other Ubuntu users that way. [13:09] Lets do a hang out [13:09] I'm up for it if you are [13:09] Sure. But later on today. I have work to do. [13:11] ok [13:11] My Gmail is James.QuantumParadox@gmail.com [13:11] Add me and we will do one later [13:11] Sure. [13:12] What is your gamil [13:12] I have to add you ina funny way [13:12] I use a old chat client [13:12] that I have to add you to [13:12] barsookmud@gmail.com [13:13] But I hardly use my gmail account. [13:13] Everything is done via my belkinsa@ubuntu.com or belkinsa@ubuntusense.com e-mail. [13:16] Cool [13:16] So, how did you get intersted in computers [13:16] What did you start out with [13:47] I think having a windows 3.1 at home as a kid. === belkinsa is now known as belkinsa_ [13:48] But really wanting to own one was in 2005. [13:49] I wanted a certain All-In-One that I think was called the Hippie or something like that. === barsook is now known as belkinsa === belkinsa_ is now known as belkinsa [15:47] Hello #ubuntu-scientists channel [15:48] Please forgive me for asking a very basic question [15:48] I want to reply to a thread, but I do not have the original email. How would I reply? [16:12] I have to logout. If someone would explain to me. Please contact me and thank you in advance. [18:39] I wish he left his e-mail. [18:39] Though I have it somewhere, since he commented on my blog. [18:52] And i think he joined the team too. [18:53] And I was right, he did join. [19:31] hi
