[01:12] <pleia2> at sf ubuntu hour \o/
[05:02] <nhaines> pleia2: would you like a demo download code for Tamodachi Life for 3DS?
[13:51] <Roguehorse> Good Morning
[13:52] <nhaines> Roguehorse: good morning!
[13:53] <Roguehorse> Well, aren't we the early risers : )
[13:54] <nhaines> Yup, one of those days.  :)
[14:01] <Roguehorse> AS I get invoilved with different groups around the Bay Area it's funny the different ways some communicate and some don't
[14:03] <nhaines> IRC's a big one.  :)  And mailing lists.
[14:03] <nhaines> Welcome to 1989!
[14:10] <Roguehorse> LOL right : ) Some prefer the mailing lists and some IRC
[14:10] <Roguehorse> I was reading the Ubuntu Unleashed book about how Usenet has become the "Twilight Zone"
[14:11] <nhaines> Yeah.  Used it all the time in 1995.  Not so much anymore.
[14:12] <nhaines> Although I do sometimes check in on nntp.oduse.net.
[14:12] <nhaines> It's real-time Usenet on a 30-year delay.
[14:13] <Roguehorse> LOL
[14:13] <nhaines> Star Trek III just came out, so they've *just* stopped fighting over Star Trek II and *just* started fighting about what Star Trek IV will be about.
[14:16] <nhaines> Also no one has video tapes, books go out of print, everyone's relying on memory and reference material, and it's a spectacular look into a different world.
[14:25] <Roguehorse> sounds thrilling : |
[14:30] <nhaines> Every couple of months I remember about it and go look at it.  It moves a lot slower too.
[14:30] <nhaines> akk: good morning!
[14:31] <akk> hiya, nhaines
[14:34] <akk> Darn, the IRC log doesn't have what this slow-moving thing is. Here I was about to be grateful for once that the channel was logged.
[14:35] <nhaines> Oh, we were talking about net.startrek from 30 years ago.
[14:35] <akk> heh
[14:39] <akk> Some of those old things run a lot faster. I went and found the source for xroach a while back, and it moved so fast you couldn't see it.
[14:39] <akk> I had to hack some delays into the source.
[14:40] <nhaines> Oh, this is the Usenet group.  :)
[14:40] <nhaines> I just peeked in after ignoring it for a couple of months.
[14:40] <nhaines> Star Trek III just came out, so they've *just* stopped fighting over Star Trek II and *just* started fighting about what Star Trek IV will be about.
[14:57] <Roguehorse> akk: Good Morning - Had to get my boy of to daycare
