[00:12] <gamerchick02> sweet
[00:12] <gamerchick02> i'm actually here. it's amazing
[01:01] <cmaloney> Hey everyone. :)
[01:01] <cmaloney> Welcome back. Hope everyone had an awesome weekend
[01:02] <cmaloney> http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-mi/755/detail/
[01:02] <bookiebot> http://goo.gl/v3U3Kp - Regular monthly Ubuntu US MI IRC meeting | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal
[01:02] <cmaloney> There's the agenda for the meeting
[01:04] <cmaloney> So we'll wait a few more minutes for folks to get settled in and we'll get started.
[01:04] <gamerchick02> g'day
[01:05] <waldo323_> Good evening
[01:09] <cmaloney> Ok, first order of business is Ohio Linuxfest
[01:09] <cmaloney> This is fast approaching.
[01:10] <cmaloney> Like super-fast the way this summer has been going for us.
[01:10] <cmaloney> So I'm not sure who all is planning on attending OLF (I'm looking to head out this year with J)
[01:11] <cmaloney> Anyone else planning on going?
[01:14] <waldo323_> not certain yet
[01:14] <cmaloney> kk
[01:14] <cmaloney> I'd like to try to coordinate with Ohio and pool our resources together
[01:14] <cmaloney> Ohio being the Ohio Loco
[01:15] <cmaloney> Does anyone know the status of the Ohio Loco ?
[01:16] <waldo323_> Not I sorry
[01:17] <cmaloney> No worries.
[01:17] <cmaloney> I can send them a note and see what they're up to.
[01:20] <cmaloney> Too bad it's not opposite something awesome like Origins. :)
[01:20] <cmaloney> but oh well
[01:21] <cmaloney> Anyone have anything else on OLF they'd like to talk about?
[01:23] <waldo323_> not at this time
[01:23] <cmaloney> Man, y'all are quiet tonight. :)
[01:24] <gamerchick02> probably not, i think i have a ceremonial during it. when is it? (i'm horrible i know)
[01:24] <gamerchick02> i'm also watching Endeavour.

[01:25] <bookiebot> http://goo.gl/6A8MVe - image/jpeg
[01:26] <gamerchick02> oh no my ceremonial is way before that
[01:26] <gamerchick02> both of them
[01:26] <gamerchick02> thanks
[01:28] <cmaloney> Coolness
[01:29] <gamerchick02> all you had was OLF?
[01:29] <gamerchick02> hah, the summer is kinda slow.
[01:30] <cmaloney> yeah, not much else going on at the moment
[01:30] <cmaloney> other than they got the calendar ical feed working again. :)
[01:30] <gamerchick02> nice
[01:32] <cmaloney> Also today is the last day to get T-Shirts if you're going to PyOhio
[01:32] <cmaloney> which you should be.
[01:32] <cmaloney> because PyOhio is awesome
[01:33] <gamerchick02> i don't know python...
[01:33] <cmaloney> And this is why you should go to PyOhio
[01:33] <gamerchick02> hah
[01:34] <cmaloney> Anywho, that's all that I have at the moment
[01:34] <cmaloney> so unless there's anything else please exit by the gift shop and have a great rest of the month.
[01:35] <cmaloney> Oh, and we still have DVDs so if anyone wants them, please let me know
[01:35] <gamerchick02> nice
[01:36] <waldo323_> For pyohio is it possible to do just Saturday and would it be worth it?
[01:37] <gamerchick02> i have a general question regarding installation. please, waldo323_ has the floor, so to speak. :)
[01:37] <cmaloney> Possibly, but you'd be spending 5 hours on the road either way
[01:37] <cmaloney> so it'll be a little much IMHO
[01:37] <gamerchick02> i'd say.
[01:37] <waldo323_> :) ok thanks
[01:39] <gamerchick02> stupid question that i should know the answer to but don't: is it possible for me to have a persistent install on a thumb drive (16gb or so) and have it skip the choice of "install or try" so i can just like, boot to the desktop on the thumb drive? (I have a windows 8.1 install on my desktop)
[01:39] <gamerchick02> i'd like to use this thumb drive with both my mac and my desktop.
[01:40] <waldo323_> I haven't tried with the latest release but you could do this
[01:41] <gamerchick02> :) yay!
[01:41] <gamerchick02> glad to know it's possible

[01:41] <gamerchick02> would i grab an image and burn it to a DVD then install to the thumb drive?
[01:41] <waldo323_>  I'd install to the thumb drive as if if was a USB HD and would remove any other hard drives during the install
[01:41] <gamerchick02> ooo
[01:42] <gamerchick02> i thought that's how it would work
[01:42] <gamerchick02> cmaloney, what is the meaning of that video?
[01:42] <gamerchick02> are you darning my windows install to heck?
[01:42] <cmaloney> Happened to be something that was on my hard drive.
[01:42] <gamerchick02> ah
[01:42] <gamerchick02> nice
[01:42] <gamerchick02> speaking of windows 8.1, it's not half bad... *ducks and covers*
[01:43] <waldo323_> Yeah. Its pretty nice being able to have persistent storage, configs and applications
[01:43] <waldo323_> It is better than vista ;)
[01:43] <gamerchick02> yeah, i mean i'd like to muck with it but i need microsoft office (for compatibility reasons)
[01:43] <gamerchick02> it is actually halfway decent
[01:43] <gamerchick02> faster than 7 on my desktop
[01:44] <gamerchick02> just as fast as ubuntu
[01:44] <gamerchick02> too bad microsoft office, WoW and D3 don't run on it.
[01:49] <gamerchick02> ok, almost bedtime (work, early, tired, etc). see everyone tomorrow. have a good night.
[01:59] <waldo323_> You too
[10:09] <cmaloney> bd
[10:09] <cmaloney> heh
[10:09] <cmaloney> stupid tmux
[12:05] <brousch> They took some major damage from last night's storm about 3 miles east of my house
[12:32] <cmaloney> Ugh. Are you OK?
[12:35] <jrwren> mornin
[12:35] <brousch> Yeah, no problems here. They can't decide whether it was straight line winds or an EF1 tornado that hit a 2 or 3 mile long strip

[13:30] <cmaloney> If you ever needed a reason to come out to MUG, this is a reason.
[13:32] <jrwren> why not title of event in the html title?
[13:32] <jrwren> so that we could see "The Go Programming Language"
[13:33] <cmaloney> because we're using CiviCRM under Wordpress, and it doesn't know any better.

[13:33] <jrwren> wait... wordpress would do it, but a bad WP plugin is clogging it up?  that is a shame.
[13:37] <cmaloney> Well, it's how we're using the plugin
[15:10] <greg-g> weee, and back online after the 4 day weekend (for me) to lots of IRC pings and tooonnns of email
[15:18] <cmaloney> Heh
[15:26] <mrgoodcat> morning
[15:29] <cmaloney> Good morning
[15:30] <greg-g> stupid europeans not getting July 4th off
[15:30] <mrgoodcat> who wouldn't want to celebrate us?
[15:30] <jrwren> i'm quoting greg-g on that.
[15:30] <mrgoodcat> if nobody else at least England should
[15:30] <jrwren> he thinks europeans are stupid.
[15:30] <jrwren> mrgoodcat: to celebrate their loss?
[15:30] <mrgoodcat> july 4th is their kid's birthday
[15:31] <greg-g> jrwren: :P
[15:45] <mrgoodcat> lol google maps hacking win https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kevin+P+is+the+Man/@38.897837,-77.0363511,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88fb9dfa3893a83f:0xe0e1feddbe4084ef

[17:20] <mrgoodcat> domains fully restored to no-ip apparently
[17:21] <cmaloney> Yeah.
[17:22] <greg-g> too bad I'm already gone :)
[17:22] <cmaloney> greg-g: I'm sure you're not the only one.
[17:22] <greg-g> yeah, really sucks, I wonder if they're exploring a lawsuit
[17:22] <greg-g> harm to brand/image/reputation
[17:22] <cmaloney> For their sake I hope they are.
[17:23] <greg-g> but, I guess they *were* being used for malware, so...
[17:23] <greg-g> but, as previously discussed, whether the action taken was justified or not...
[17:25] <cmaloney> greg-g: Yeah. I'm not a fan of secret warrants carried out.
[17:25] <cmaloney> But at least they got a warrant
[17:25] <cmaloney> which is more than I can say for some departments.
[17:25]  * greg-g nods

[17:26] <greg-g> *coughs* notaterrorist *coughs*
[17:26] <cmaloney> Well, I am in #linuxjournal

[19:17] <cmaloney> Having one of those days where i wonder if I'm the only sane one in the conversation
[19:18] <cmaloney> Getting flack from the recipient of an Excel file because the dates are formatted differently (yyyy-mm-dd instead of mm/dd/yyyy)
[19:18] <cmaloney> save that they're dates. In Excel. Formatting should be irrelevant.
[19:22] <brousch> You dare use non-USA date formatting?
[19:22] <greg-g> cmaloney: you are a terrorist
[19:22] <cmaloney> And I prefer the Metric system for certain things.
[19:23]  * cmaloney better not fly anytime soon
[19:23] <greg-g> I'll remind you that this channel is the Michigan, US-mutherfucking-A channel
[19:24] <cmaloney> Oh, um... Budweiser Chevy Marlboro
[19:25] <jrwren> cmaloney: you mean like its 29 degrees out?
[19:25] <cmaloney> jrwren: I'll be farenheit til the day I die.
[19:26] <cmaloney> I've tried to grok Celsius but 14C and 15C don't translate in my brain
[19:26] <jrwren> F makes good sense for human usage.
[19:26] <greg-g> only 29C? it was 106F where we were this past weekend :)
[19:26] <jrwren> colder than 0 is too cold. hotter than 100 is too hot.
[19:26] <jrwren> EAsY!
[19:26] <jrwren> greg-g: yeah, I saw someone say 35 and I went O_O
[19:27] <greg-g> :)
[19:27] <greg-g> FYI: the central valley (CA) is the devil's country
[19:29] <cmaloney> He must have a vacation home there.

[19:33] <cmaloney> What the fuck?
[19:36] <brousch> What is this idiocy?
[19:36] <cmaloney> Apparently there is a potato salad that needs making
[19:37] <cmaloney> I think it's a protest of the Kickstarter vetting relaxation
[20:04] <greg-g> wow
[20:05] <greg-g> so, has KS jumped the shark?
[20:05] <jrwren> dunno that it can, users of it did a long time ago
[21:56] <gamerchick02> guess who has two thumbs and a completely portable ubuntu stick?
[21:56] <gamerchick02> guess who's mucking with it on her mac right now?
[22:06] <rick_h__> gamerchick02: woot
[22:06] <gamerchick02> i'm such a nerd
[22:06] <gamerchick02> it still says windows on the bootloader but that doesn't matter
[22:07] <gamerchick02> also i got a bunch of terminal garbage when i started it up on the mac. is that normal?
[22:43] <jrwren> gamerchick02: how did you do it? link me to instructions. i NEED that!
[22:56] <gamerchick02> jrwren, all you do is make a DVD of the ubuntu download, then install it (straight up install it) to a thumb drive
[22:56] <gamerchick02> Oh, and install the bootloader TO THE THUMB DRIVE NOT THE HARD DRIVE.
[22:57] <gamerchick02> it's pretty rad
[22:57] <gamerchick02> now, when you boot into the ubuntu drive, you'll probably have a grub that's mucked up if you switch from computer to computer... like on my mac it says "ubuntu, ubuntu advanced, something else, and then Windows 8"
[22:57] <gamerchick02> so yeah.
