[00:26] Shalom Roguehorse [00:29] What up? [00:32] funny, I think it was 1989 the last time I had someone greet me with "shalom" =) [00:34] I was doing a lot of work for Texas Instruments at a company called Olin Interconnect Technologies - basically integrated circuit manufacturing [00:34] much of that work all went overseas by the mid 90's [19:12] 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? [19:14] 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 [19:15] OK. [19:15] Is that Gareth Greenway on the chat??? [19:16] yes, his nickname is Gareth :) [19:16] Oh wow.... [19:16] I am sorry. I am a Linux freak [19:16] welcome to the club! [19:17] Thnks [19:19] 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.... ;-(. ) [19:21] 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 [19:22] 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] yeah. [19:22] Oh well. [19:22] I just have to be the host for two weeks [19:22] so just thought i might try... [19:23] * pleia2 nods [19:23] By "somewhere nearby" pleia2 means 103 miles southwest. :) [19:23] oh....wow. === cyphase is now known as Guest69235 [19:24] well I used to live about 700 miles from where I leave now (*MUMBLE*) [19:24] nhaines: *waves hands* LA has giant suburbs [19:24] Hahaha, I'm in south Orange County. :) [19:24] Oh, OK. [19:24] Not tooo far. [19:24] It is if you have to travel through LA! [19:24] nhaines: you'll have to keep them in mind for your book tour! [19:24] Yeah traffic. [19:25] Did u hear about that sewer pipe that broke in LA? [19:25] pleia2: indeed, I was just thinking of that! [19:25] Yup seems we all have some kind of Linux brain implant (Shawn Powers) [19:27] So yeah. [19:27] Know any advertising pages? [19:27] That I could advertise the LUG? [19:27] 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. :) [19:28] Oh that would be great! Just contact me then at troysweeney@programmer.net [19:28] For the LUG, use Meetup, and use Craigslist. Those are two places to start. Try Reddit if there's a local subreddit. [19:28] Sure, I'm nhaines (at) ubuntu.com. [19:28] ok [19:28] that is your email? [19:29] Yup. [19:29] Ok. [19:29] Thanks a ton again. [19:30] No worries. I'm going to be doing a presentation in LA in January so I might have a shiny new one by then. :) [19:31] ok... [19:31] Bye. [19:31] Bye, and good luck! [19:32] P.S. I saved your email address. [19:38] 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. :) [19:45] * pleia2 wrote one more page \o/ [19:45] which is sad, since I though I had written 3 pages but I only wrote 2 [19:45] so... 3 pages for real! [19:48] \o/ [19:49] I wrote 50 pages over the past three. 13 on Thursday, if you count 1/3rd of a page as page 50. [19:49] three weeks, not days. :) [19:50] oh gosh, I almost had a heart attack [19:50] 3 DAYS AMAGAD, oh weeks :) [19:50] my editor tells me I'll get into a groove [19:50] Haha, that's what mine said too. [19:50] my hyperperfectionism at first draft is causing me problems [19:50] I just need to spew it all out and fix later [19:52] 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. :) [19:53] nice :) [19:53] I love tables and figures! [19:53] "oh that's half a page there, winning" [19:53] Haha, yeah, it was kinda nice. :) [19:53] I do like having the system requirements for each flavor all in one place. [19:54] :) [19:55] My goal for next week is to write 30 pages in two days. [19:56] I'm hoping my month off of traveling will help me get into the swing of things [19:56] 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] haha! [19:59] Basically my writing processes for this chapter: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qfDDuNWIZ5A/UW8lPe8cm6I/AAAAAAAACS8/Ma4eAhJhI_E/s1600/LastMinutePanic_CalvinHobbes.jpg [19:59] Content type: [image/jpeg] Size: [333786] [20:10] lol === Guest69235 is now known as cyphase === cyphase is now known as Guest52545
