| Roguehorse | What up? | 00:29 |
| Roguehorse | funny, I think it was 1989 the last time I had someone greet me with "shalom" =) | 00:32 |
| Roguehorse | I was doing a lot of work for Texas Instruments at a company called Olin Interconnect Technologies - basically integrated circuit manufacturing | 00:34 |
| Roguehorse | much of that work all went overseas by the mid 90's | 00:34 |
| Troy | I am hosting a Linux User Group in Camarillo CA, and am trying to get more people to come. It will be at the Camarillo Library from 2:00 till 4:30ish. Anybody want to come? | 19:12 |
| pleia2 | a bit too far for me, but we do have several members from near LA so you're welcome to post to our mailing list ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com | 19:14 |
| Troy | OK. | 19:15 |
| Troy | Is that Gareth Greenway on the chat??? | 19:15 |
| pleia2 | yes, his nickname is Gareth :) | 19:16 |
| Troy | Oh wow.... | 19:16 |
| Troy | I am sorry. I am a Linux freak | 19:16 |
| pleia2 | welcome to the club! | 19:16 |
| Troy | Thnks | 19:17 |
| Troy | I am trying hard at 2:00 to get as many Linux folks as possible to The Camarillo Library for a LUG meeting(Where anybody rarely comes.... ;-(. ) | 19:19 |
| pleia2 | well, you're always welcome to mail our list, but doing it a bit earlier always helps :) people probably already have plans for this afternoon | 19:21 |
| pleia2 | we also have several folks on the list who can do Ubuntu presentations, I know nhaines is somewhere down that way and he's a great presenter | 19:22 |
| Troy | yeah. | 19:22 |
| Troy | Oh well. | 19:22 |
| Troy | I just have to be the host for two weeks | 19:22 |
| Troy | so just thought i might try... | 19:22 |
| * pleia2 nods | 19:23 | |
| nhaines | By "somewhere nearby" pleia2 means 103 miles southwest. :) | 19:23 |
| Troy | oh....wow. | 19:23 |
| === cyphase is now known as Guest69235 | ||
| Troy | well I used to live about 700 miles from where I leave now (*MUMBLE*) | 19:24 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: *waves hands* LA has giant suburbs | 19:24 |
| nhaines | Hahaha, I'm in south Orange County. :) | 19:24 |
| Troy | Oh, OK. | 19:24 |
| Troy | Not tooo far. | 19:24 |
| nhaines | It is if you have to travel through LA! | 19:24 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: you'll have to keep them in mind for your book tour! | 19:24 |
| Troy | Yeah traffic. | 19:24 |
| Troy | Did u hear about that sewer pipe that broke in LA? | 19:25 |
| nhaines | pleia2: indeed, I was just thinking of that! | 19:25 |
| Troy | Yup seems we all have some kind of Linux brain implant (Shawn Powers) | 19:25 |
| Troy | So yeah. | 19:27 |
| Troy | Know any advertising pages? | 19:27 |
| Troy | That I could advertise the LUG? | 19:27 |
| nhaines | I'm pretty busy for the next couple of months but I could make it out there if you need a presenter in January or February, probably. :) | 19:27 |
| Troy | Oh that would be great! Just contact me then at troysweeney@programmer.net | 19:28 |
| nhaines | For the LUG, use Meetup, and use Craigslist. Those are two places to start. Try Reddit if there's a local subreddit. | 19:28 |
| nhaines | Sure, I'm nhaines (at) ubuntu.com. | 19:28 |
| Troy | ok | 19:28 |
| Troy | that is your email? | 19:28 |
| nhaines | Yup. | 19:29 |
| Troy | Ok. | 19:29 |
| Troy | Thanks a ton again. | 19:29 |
| nhaines | No worries. I'm going to be doing a presentation in LA in January so I might have a shiny new one by then. :) | 19:30 |
| Troy | ok... | 19:31 |
| Troy | Bye. | 19:31 |
| nhaines | Bye, and good luck! | 19:31 |
| Troy | P.S. I saved your email address. | 19:32 |
| nhaines | Incidentally, I could have gotten in my car and left as soon as he came in and still not arrived on time to his LUG metting. :) | 19:38 |
| * pleia2 wrote one more page \o/ | 19:45 | |
| pleia2 | which is sad, since I though I had written 3 pages but I only wrote 2 | 19:45 |
| pleia2 | so... 3 pages for real! | 19:45 |
| nhaines | \o/ | 19:48 |
| nhaines | I wrote 50 pages over the past three. 13 on Thursday, if you count 1/3rd of a page as page 50. | 19:49 |
| nhaines | three weeks, not days. :) | 19:49 |
| pleia2 | oh gosh, I almost had a heart attack | 19:50 |
| pleia2 | 3 DAYS AMAGAD, oh weeks :) | 19:50 |
| pleia2 | my editor tells me I'll get into a groove | 19:50 |
| nhaines | Haha, that's what mine said too. | 19:50 |
| pleia2 | my hyperperfectionism at first draft is causing me problems | 19:50 |
| pleia2 | I just need to spew it all out and fix later | 19:50 |
| nhaines | I rewrote a lot of it before turning it in. Also there were something like 35 screenshots because it's all about installing Ubuntu. And Kubuntu. And Xubuntu. And... So I detailed Ubuntu's installation and then talked about what makes each flavor cool for 3 or 4 pages. :) | 19:52 |
| pleia2 | nice :) | 19:53 |
| pleia2 | I love tables and figures! | 19:53 |
| pleia2 | "oh that's half a page there, winning" | 19:53 |
| nhaines | Haha, yeah, it was kinda nice. :) | 19:53 |
| nhaines | I do like having the system requirements for each flavor all in one place. | 19:53 |
| pleia2 | :) | 19:54 |
| nhaines | My goal for next week is to write 30 pages in two days. | 19:55 |
| pleia2 | I'm hoping my month off of traveling will help me get into the swing of things | 19:56 |
| pleia2 | of course I say that from the Sierra Nevadas, where I've technically traveled to ;) | 19:56 |
| * pleia2 has fireplace and mountains this weekend | 19:56 | |
| nhaines | haha! | 19:56 |
| nhaines | Basically my writing processes for this chapter: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qfDDuNWIZ5A/UW8lPe8cm6I/AAAAAAAACS8/Ma4eAhJhI_E/s1600/LastMinutePanic_CalvinHobbes.jpg | 19:59 |
