[01:14] <nhaines> pleia2: that's good to hear.  :)
[04:47] <nhaines> Ooh, this was a pleasant surprise: https://www.amazon.com/author/nathanhaines
[04:47] <darthrobot> [404] Title: [Error reading title]
[04:49] <DonkeyHotei> is that blurb taken from the book?
[04:50] <DonkeyHotei> the eerie part is it has three days of scale but not the fourth
[04:50] <nhaines> Nope!
[04:51] <nhaines> I won't be available on Thursday.
[04:51] <DonkeyHotei> exactly -- how did they know that?
[04:51]  * ianorlin plans to be available on Thursday
[04:52] <nhaines> Well, it *is* Amazon.
[04:52] <DonkeyHotei> if i end up at scale i will be there for at least 5 full days
[04:52] <DonkeyHotei> there meaning geographically there
[04:53] <nhaines> So technically it has three days of scale but not the first.
[04:54] <DonkeyHotei> yes but that's more awkward to say

[04:55] <darthrobot> Title: [xkcd: Technically]
[04:55] <ianorlin> nhaines do you have the setup times for scale booth?
[04:56] <nhaines> ianorlin: yes, I have all of that.
[04:56] <ianorlin> wasn't there some setup on Thursday?
[04:57] <DonkeyHotei> who has the banner atm?
[04:57] <nhaines> Yeah, but the dates are funny, so I'l have to email Gareth.
[04:57] <nhaines> I have the secondary banner.
[04:57] <Gareth> whats up?
[04:57] <nhaines> I swear there's four of you this year.
[04:58] <nhaines> Setup hours in the exhibitor kit looks wonky.
[04:58] <Gareth> only 3...the fourth is on vacation.
[04:58]  * Gareth looks
[04:59] <nhaines> It says Thursday 2pm-6pm, and Friday 8am to 9:30am.  But the booth doesn't open until 2pm.
[04:59] <Gareth> Ah hm. good point.
[05:00] <Gareth> Didn't update that from last year.
[05:00] <nhaines> Yay it's not just my brain being broken!  \o/
[05:01] <nhaines> Oh, since you're here, Canonical was able to determine that we won't be able to get retail phones delivered in time.  :(  So we'll just be using Nexus 4s and 5s.  And probably a Nexus 7!
[05:02] <Gareth> Too bad but still cool.  People will be able to see it in action, so that's good.
[05:03] <ianorlin> I was thinking nhaines is in charge of booth and won't be there Thursday when most of the setup is
[05:05] <DonkeyHotei> ianorlin: i'm sure other repeat volunteers will, though
[05:05] <nhaines> ianorlin: I'm going to *be* there Thursday.  Just not available which is what my Author Central page is tracking.
[05:05] <ianorlin> ah
[05:06] <DonkeyHotei> oh.
[05:06] <nhaines> So I'll be setting up everything I can Thursday night.  Hopefully we won't have much at all to do on Friday.
[05:06] <nhaines> Gareth: Do you have setup hours for Friday?  Maybe 12pm - 2pm?
[05:07] <nhaines> Gareth: Also, if it's SUPER simple to access, what booth is Apress at?  They're bringing promotional material for my upcoming book.  :)
[05:08] <Gareth> technically it can be available starting at 8am since SCALE kicks off at 10am, most SCALE staff will be around early enough to give access.  if someone wanted to be at the Hilton at 8 am :) .
[05:08] <Gareth> nhaines: one sec.
[05:08] <Gareth> nhaines: don't see them on the exhibitor list.
[05:08] <nhaines> Nobody wants to be at the Hilton at 8am.  We're all hackers.  :)  But I'll be around there anyway.  I'll write "noon" in the wiki.  ;)
[05:08] <ianorlin> I would
[05:09] <nhaines> Gareth: maybe my editor is going to be roaming around then.  That's exciting too.
[05:09] <Gareth> nhaines: noon works.  I'll send out an update to all exhibitors in a bit with the clarification, thanks for noticing that.
[05:09] <nhaines> And better because then we can have the promotional stuff at the booth.  Except I don't like talking about my own projects.  :)
[05:09] <nhaines> Gareth: fantastic, thanks.  :)
[05:09] <nhaines> And glad I caught it!
[05:10] <ianorlin> hope my power doesn't go out when I go short distance back home
[05:10] <ianorlin> which happened last year
[05:11] <nhaines> Oh, I already have 1pm Friday on the wiki.  Sticking with that.
