[00:26] <OERIAS> Shalom Roguehorse
[00:29] <Roguehorse> What up?
[00:32] <Roguehorse> funny, I think it was 1989 the last time I had someone greet me with "shalom" =)
[00:34] <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
[19:12] <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?
[19:14] <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
[19:15] <Troy> OK.
[19:15] <Troy> Is that Gareth Greenway on the chat???
[19:16] <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!
[19:17] <Troy> Thnks
[19:19] <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.... ;-(. )
[19:21] <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
[19:22] <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...
[19:23]  * pleia2 nods
[19:23] <nhaines> By "somewhere nearby" pleia2 means 103 miles southwest.  :)
[19:23] <Troy> oh....wow.
[19:24] <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.
[19:25] <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)
[19:27] <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.  :)
[19:28] <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?
[19:29] <nhaines> Yup.
[19:29] <Troy> Ok.
[19:29] <Troy> Thanks a ton again.
[19:30] <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.  :)
[19:31] <Troy> ok...
[19:31] <Troy> Bye.
[19:31] <nhaines> Bye, and good luck!
[19:32] <Troy> P.S. I saved your email address.
[19:38] <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.  :)
[19:45]  * 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!
[19:48] <nhaines> \o/
[19:49] <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.  :)
[19:50] <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
[19:52] <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.  :)
[19:53] <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.
[19:54] <pleia2> :)
[19:55] <nhaines> My goal for next week is to write 30 pages in two days.
[19:56] <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!
[19:59] <nhaines> Basically my writing processes for this chapter: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qfDDuNWIZ5A/UW8lPe8cm6I/AAAAAAAACS8/Ma4eAhJhI_E/s1600/LastMinutePanic_CalvinHobbes.jpg
