[00:29] <cmaloney> Schools keep canceling
[00:55] <gamerchick02> i see that.
[01:35] <jrwren> 25min?
[01:35] <gamerchick02> looks like it yeah.
[01:56] <gamerchick02> 5 minutes?
[02:02] <waldo323_> Good evening
[02:02] <cmaloney> Eveing
[02:02] <cmaloney> We'll be starting in a few minutes.
[02:02] <gamerchick02> hi
[02:02] <gamerchick02> Downton.
[02:03] <gamerchick02> i am here however
[02:07] <cmaloney> Hello everyone!
[02:07] <cmaloney> Thank you for tuning in here if you have
[02:07] <cmaloney> Can I get a quick show of hands?
[02:07] <cmaloney> o/
[02:08] <gamerchick02> i'm here
[02:09] <gamerchick02> gosh Thomas Barrow doesn't get any better (he's a big jerky jerk)
[02:09] <cmaloney> If anyone else is here feel free to pipe in as needed
[02:09] <cmaloney> We have a few things to cover and I know there are thrre things folks are watching:
[02:09] <cmaloney> 1) Superbowl
[02:09] <cmaloney> 2) Downton Abbey
[02:09] <cmaloney> 3) School closings and weather reports
[02:10] <cmaloney> finally saw that JoDee's school is closed tomorrow. :)
[02:10] <cmaloney> I think any school that is open tomorrow is foolish
[02:10] <cmaloney> http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-mi/912/detail/
[02:10] <cmaloney> ^ Here's the agenda
[02:10] <gamerchick02> i think you are right
[02:11] <cmaloney> Item #1: Ubuntu Global Jam
[02:11] <gamerchick02> thank ye for the link.
[02:11] <cmaloney> This coming weekend is the Ubuntu Global Jam
[02:11] <cmaloney> What does this mean?
[02:11] <cmaloney> It means we'll be meeting this weekend (virtually) to work on Ubuntu stuff
[02:11] <gamerchick02> 3, 2, 1... let's jam!
[02:12] <cmaloney> eg: Bug Traige, "Ask Ubuntu", documentation
[02:12] <cmaloney> Whatever floats your boat.
[02:12] <gamerchick02> awesome. that's gonna be in the IRC, right?
[02:12] <cmaloney> It's a great way to get involved with the community.
[02:12] <cmaloney> It'll be on IRC, and we might do a hangout
[02:12] <cmaloney> if someone wants to plan out an in-person meeting that would be great too
[02:13] <cmaloney> UNfortuantely I'm not able to plan something out in this short amount of time
[02:13] <cmaloney> so we'll at the very least meet online
[02:13] <gamerchick02> i think that's a good idea.
[02:13] <cmaloney> If you're participating feel free to say "I'm Jamming" and let us know
[02:13] <cmaloney> or join the hangout
[02:14] <cmaloney> Not sure if the hangout will be up all weekend but that's available if you want
[02:14] <cmaloney> (And where would one find this notional hangout link you might ask?)
[02:14] <cmaloney> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-mi/2968-michigan-ubuntu-global-jam-1504/
[02:14] <gamerchick02> google plus?
[02:15] <cmaloney> You can also get to it via the loco directory
[02:15] <gamerchick02> super smart
[02:15] <cmaloney> yeah, it's like they thought of everything
[02:15] <cmaloney> So anywho, we'll play it by ear and hopefully have a great time
[02:16] <cmaloney> scratch that, we WILL have a great time. :)
[02:16] <gamerchick02> cool! i'll chill some beers and hang in the IRC!
[02:16] <cmaloney> Because that's just how we roll
[02:16] <cmaloney> Any questions?
[02:16] <waldo323_> Not yet
[02:16] <gamerchick02> nope. gonna have fun this weekend for the global jam.
[02:16] <cmaloney> Apparently sportball is tied at half-time
[02:17] <cmaloney> OK, moving on to item #2
[02:17] <gamerchick02> and the Dowager is throwing shade all over the place.
[02:17] <waldo323_> What did they tie it to?
[02:17] <gamerchick02> LOL
[02:17] <cmaloney> http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-mi/912/detail/ <- again, for those playing along at home
[02:17] <cmaloney> RELEASE PARTY APPROACHETH
[02:17] <gamerchick02> release party
[02:18] <cmaloney> Assuming they'll have us we'll be partying at Penguicon
[02:18] <gamerchick02> oooh. and that's in April, correct?
[02:18] <cmaloney> Which is April 26th-28th.
[02:18] <gamerchick02> seems like it never lines up for me.
[02:18] <waldo323_> What about a room party release party?
[02:18] <cmaloney> Ideally we'll be there on Friday after work
[02:19] <cmaloney> waldo323_: If you want to organize it. :)
[02:19] <waldo323_> I think Penguicon 24th -26th right?
[02:20] <cmaloney> You are most correct
[02:20] <cmaloney> 24th-26th
[02:20] <cmaloney> I fail maths
[02:20] <waldo323_> Having it at the bar is easier :-)
[02:20] <cmaloney> Yes, yes it is
[02:20] <cmaloney> we had it at the bar last year and it worked out pretty well
[02:20] <waldo323_> Lots of people have been saying different numbers even at the meetings
[02:20] <waldo323_> So don't feel bad
[02:21] <waldo323_> Maybe more signage would be good ?
[02:21] <cmaloney> I think adding it to my subliminal consciousness would be ace.
[02:22] <cmaloney> Regardless, there are things afoot at Penguicon that you will want to be a part of as pertaining to Ubuntu
[02:23] <cmaloney> so perchance one mught obtain passes to participate in such pertainment
[02:23] <gamerchick02> perhaps.
[02:23] <cmaloney> I'll firm up the date and time
[02:23] <cmaloney> If you just want to go for the release party it'll cost a day-pass to Penguicon
[02:24] <cmaloney> but since Penguicon is so awesome you'll want to get the weekend pass
[02:24] <cmaloney> Trust me
[02:24] <cmaloney> any questions?
[02:24] <cmaloney> http://2015.penguicon.org/ for tickets
[02:25] <cmaloney> Also if you can't make it to Pengiucon and wish to have a release party please let me know and I'll get it up on the calendar
[02:25] <cmaloney> We can have as many release parties as folks want to organize.
[02:26] <gamerchick02> i think it would be neat to have one over at the Red Ox near me. are there any ubuntu folks over by Oakland U?
[02:26] <cmaloney> Likely
[02:27] <cmaloney> If you want to organize it by all means
[02:27] <gamerchick02> ok let me see what i can do
[02:27] <cmaloney> I think it would be awesome to have more than one party.
[02:28] <gamerchick02> yeah. i can see if there might be some people interested from work too.
[02:28] <cmaloney> Very cool
[02:30] <gamerchick02> yeah. and if it doesn't work out as an ubuntu thing i won't be alone with some co-workers around. hah!
[02:30] <cmaloney> Nice
[02:30] <cmaloney> OK, any questions on the release party(ies)?
[02:32] <gamerchick02> maybe later once i mull it over some more.
[02:33] <cmaloney> OK, last item
[02:33] <cmaloney> Ubuntu Developer Summit: http://uds.ubuntu.com/
[02:34] <cmaloney> UDS is coming up in May
[02:34] <cmaloney> This is a great way to help out with Ubuntu and get involved.
[02:35] <cmaloney> They are online using Google Hangouts
[02:35] <cmaloney> So you don't have to travel to some remote land in order to participate
[02:36] <gamerchick02> that's cool. i've never been to one.
[02:36] <gamerchick02> i'm not really a developer though
[02:36] <cmaloney> You don't have to be a programmer. :)
[02:37] <gamerchick02> ah ok.
[02:37] <brousch> what's up?
[02:37] <cmaloney> They cover things like documentation, translation, community, etc.
[02:37] <gamerchick02> cool!
[02:37] <cmaloney> I don't think the schedule is posted yet but should be posted soon
[02:37] <gamerchick02> brousch i'm following the meeting in between shade thrown at Downton Abbey.
[02:40] <cmaloney> Any questions?
[02:40] <gamerchick02> I'm good i think
[02:42] <cmaloney> Any other business anyone would like to bring up?
[02:44] <gamerchick02> i don't have any
[02:44] <gamerchick02> it's like you're speaking to an empty room... "don't everyone speak up at once"
[02:48] <cmaloney> Heh, no worries
[02:49] <cmaloney> Im used to it
[02:50] <gamerchick02> :)
[03:01] <cmaloney> OK, if there's nothing else then hope everyone enjoys their evening
[03:01] <cmaloney> and hope you all can work from home tomorrow morning
[03:01] <cmaloney> because it looks like an utter mess out there.
[03:01] <_stink_> is it time to go shovel again?
[03:01] <cmaloney> And apparently Sportball is 24-21
[03:01] <cmaloney> in favor of one team over the other
[03:02] <_stink_> yeah we haven't even turned it on
[03:02] <cmaloney> I watched a bit of the Kitten Bowl training cam
[03:03] <cmaloney> I'm good
[03:03] <_stink_> hahaha
[03:03] <_stink_> we had the puppy bowl on for like 1.5 hours
[03:03] <cmaloney> That is awesome
[03:03] <cmaloney> We played "Roll for the Galaxy"
[03:03] <cmaloney> Had a learning round of that but picked up pretty quickly
[03:04] <cmaloney> fun game
[03:08] <cmaloney> https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/132531/roll-galaxy if anyone is interested
[03:09] <gamerchick02> i watched Downton and now it's Grantchester, aka super-hot-ginger-vicar-who's-an-amateur-detective
[03:09] <gamerchick02> looks like a cool game!
[03:10] <gamerchick02> ok, time for more Grantchester and then bed. getting up early tomorrow to... i'm not exactly sure. i might make it into work. hah!
[03:10] <gamerchick02> see everyone tomorrow!
[03:14] <cmaloney> Laterness
[05:48] <rick_h_> morning
[12:50] <_stink_> oh boy, timeo to shovel the same 2 foot drift AGAIN
[14:17] <gamerchick02> Thigh high drifts due to plowing!
[14:19] <gamerchick02> but the good news is that i'm getting plowed.
[14:19] <gamerchick02> snowplowed. ahem.
[14:20] <jrwren> gamerchick02: LOL
[14:20] <gamerchick02> :-D
[14:20] <gamerchick02> i fell over in a snowdrift!
[14:21] <jrwren> lol. wind blow you down?
[14:22] <gamerchick02> no i misjudged a step and caught the edge
[14:22] <gamerchick02> it was buried in a snowdrift and was going off the steps i'd made earlier when i determined that i couldn't make it into work.
[14:23] <gamerchick02> so yeah. doing a backup of my computer right now yay
[14:23] <jrwren> better fall in a drift than fall on the steps. OUCH
[14:23] <gamerchick02> yeah! i'm not hurt.
[14:23] <gamerchick02> i changed my pants and i'm dry now
[14:49] <cmaloney> Yeah, we did our shoveling
[14:49] <cmaloney> now to wait until spring
[14:52] <brousch> I need a decent snowblower next year. The damn fools only plow half of our road, and it's the half I don't live on
[14:53] <brousch> So I get to shovel 10ft of road as well as my driveway
[15:24] <gamerchick02> ugh i'm sorry to hear that
[15:25] <gamerchick02> i'll go out after lunch. the Indian/Pakistani guys came out and were like "wut is this?"
[15:25] <gamerchick02> none have snowshovels or boots or anything.
[15:25] <gamerchick02> there are a lot of chrysler IT guys from that area of the world in my apartment complex.
[15:25] <_stink_> phew
[15:25] <_stink_> just finished
[15:26] <_stink_> we had 2.5 foot drifts
[15:26] <_stink_> also, my flights to san fran got cancelled.
[15:26] <cmaloney> gamerchick02: Yeah, I'm sure they're not prepared for this
[15:26] <gamerchick02> aww sorry about that
[15:26] <gamerchick02> no they are not, cmaloney
[15:26] <cmaloney> Granted I never thought to have a shovel in the apartment complex
[15:26] <cmaloney> luckily we had good maint. folks.
[15:27] <gamerchick02> we do too but nobody (and i mean nobody) leaves in this kind of weather.
[15:27] <gamerchick02> so they can't plow if everyone's still in their spaces
[15:27] <cmaloney> Yeah
[15:27] <gamerchick02> plus i have a lot of Oakland students and they don't drive hardly ever either.
[15:28] <cmaloney> gamerchick02: s/drive hardly ever either/try to drive over anything that looks flat and pout when it doesn't work/
[15:28] <gamerchick02> hah
[15:28] <gamerchick02> yes
[15:31] <gamerchick02> good day to fire up musicbrainz and sort the music collection, yeah?
[15:32] <cmaloney> As good as any
[15:33] <gamerchick02> :)
[15:33] <gamerchick02> that's what i'm doing...
[15:33] <gamerchick02> might as well be personally productive.
[16:35] <gamerchick02> car unburied.
[16:35] <gamerchick02> and i have it clean behind my car so i can get out tomorrow. hopefully there will be more plowing later
[17:10] <rick_h_> evening
[17:13] <cmaloney> Afternoon
[17:13] <cmaloney> :)
[17:13] <gamerchick02> g'day
[17:15] <rick_h_> watching the super bowl and eating pizza ftw :)
[17:15] <gamerchick02> nice. i just finished lunch and i'm going to be working on tagging my music
[17:15] <cmaloney> rick_h_: I won't tell you how it ends
[17:15] <cmaloney> suffice to say one team beat another team
[17:16] <cmaloney> apparently they don't do tie games
[17:16] <rick_h_> I already know
[17:16] <rick_h_> I'm just hanging out because there's pizza..if you can call it that...and good wifi :)
[17:16] <gamerchick02> why aren't you catching up on Downton, rick_h_?
[17:16] <gamerchick02> ;)
[17:16] <cmaloney> South African Pizza? boggles the mind
[17:16] <gamerchick02> pizza + wifi = heaven.
[17:16] <rick_h_> yea, pretty much
[17:17] <cmaloney> gamerchick02: Because he already watched the UK broadcast
[17:17] <gamerchick02> aww man. lucky duck
[17:17] <gamerchick02> no PBS cuts in that one
[17:17] <cmaloney> 10% more UK
[17:17] <cmaloney> ;)
[17:17] <gamerchick02> :)
[17:17] <rick_h_> lol
[17:18] <cmaloney> Don't have to have some rich lady tell you how much she likes PBS
[17:18] <gamerchick02> so dang true
[17:18] <cmaloney> bbiab. Lunch.
[17:19] <gamerchick02> enjoy
[17:45] <cmaloney> back
[17:52] <gamerchick02> how was lunch?
[17:53] <rick_h_> it was a party!
[17:53] <gamerchick02> :)
[17:53] <jrwren> rick_h_: you have wine with that pizza and football?
[17:57] <rick_h_> jrwren: bottle of http://www.journeysend.co.za/winery.html I picked up from the wine festival I went to yesterday
[17:57] <rick_h_> over 40 wineries in one field to try for $13
[17:57] <rick_h_> :)
[17:57] <rick_h_> was a good day yesterday
[17:58] <jrwren> did you know ahead of time that it was there, or was this a huge lucky find?
[17:58] <rick_h_> jrwren: Mark S suggested we check it out if we were coming in so I did :)
[17:58] <rick_h_> it seemed like a decent way to spend a day
[18:00] <gamerchick02> http://boingboing.net/2014/08/12/remembering-robin-williams-ci.html it's taken me five months to get to reading this.
[18:27] <cmaloney> rick_h_: South African wine is quite good
[18:28] <cmaloney> on par with Aussie wine which I like
[18:28] <cmaloney> gamerchick02: Yeah, Robin Williams death hit me pretty hard
[18:29] <gamerchick02> hit me REALLY hard. like "pow right in the feels"
[18:29] <cmaloney> Really like the Shiraz but JoDee doesn't care for them
[18:29] <gamerchick02> usually celebrity deaths don't hit me like that but whoa
[18:29] <cmaloney> so we generally get Merlots which we both like
[18:30] <gamerchick02> re wine: i usually drink MI wines...
[18:30] <gamerchick02> (and i prefer white anyway...)
[18:31] <cmaloney> Loves me some reds
[18:31] <cmaloney> though I don't mind the white wines from time to time
[18:32] <gamerchick02> :)
[18:32] <cmaloney> I like some MI wines as well
[18:32] <cmaloney> Tend to like more of the sweeter wines up here
[18:32] <gamerchick02> yeah!
[18:33] <cmaloney> Though the old addage of "they'll ferment most anything" is true of a lot of MI wine
[18:33] <cmaloney> Cherry wine in particular
[18:33] <cmaloney> blech.
[18:33] <gamerchick02> ew
[18:47] <brousch> I love Cherry wine
[18:47] <brousch> Drank a bottle cranberry recently too. Awesome
[18:47] <brousch> So flavorful
[18:48]  * brousch sets another Dutch licorice coin on his tongue
[18:48] <akelling> Strawberry was always my favorite fruit wine.
[18:49] <brousch> Can't say I've tried it. blueberry is very powerful though
[18:50] <akelling> mmm Blueberry
[18:51] <jrwren> barley wine is good
[18:52] <brousch> The nastiest wine I've had is asparagus
[18:52] <akelling> Barley wine will mess you up.
[18:52] <akelling> Cheap wine that you can get in Ohio that is not to bad for fruits. http://www.breitenbachwine.com/
[18:52] <akelling> I never seen it in MI when I lived there.
[18:53] <rick_h_> cmaloney: yea, wine festival was a good thing
[18:53] <brousch> Probably because we have a hundred good wineries already ;)
[18:54] <akelling> I only seen cherry/apple in MI for fruits.
[18:54] <akelling> Yeah MI has some great wineries and brewerys. Wish I could get Founders out here.
[18:55] <brousch> We have some decent blueberry fields on the west side
[18:55] <brousch> My friend in Charleston, SC has Founders. Surely you do too
[18:56] <akelling> I have not seen it out here. I am not sure if they distubute past MO.
[18:59] <akelling> Checked their site no one within 100 miles of my zip has it.
[19:00] <brousch> wow
[19:01] <gamerchick02> you can't order it and have it shipped?
[19:02] <brousch> Shipping alcohol across state borders is not trivial
[19:02] <gamerchick02> ah.
[19:03] <akelling> I will just get some next time I am in STL.
[19:03] <akelling> I have seen Bells a few times but they want 11.99 a 6 pack
[19:04] <gamerchick02> dang!
[19:04] <brousch> Seems reasonable
[19:05] <akelling> Yeah.... I enjoy two hearted but not that much. We have alot of good beers here in Colorado
[19:05] <brousch> trudat
[19:06] <rick_h_> woot! I have working trackpoint buttons!
[19:06] <rick_h_> <3 working for this company, kernel folks to fix me up ftw!
[19:06] <brousch> trackpoint buttons?
[19:06] <akelling> IBM laptop?
[19:06] <rick_h_> yea, on the new laptopst
[19:06] <rick_h_> went back to thinkpad
[19:06] <akelling> Nice!
[19:06] <rick_h_> <3
[19:06] <rick_h_> but it's a bit too new for crap to 'just work' yet
[19:07] <akelling> I like my thinkpad's too. What model do you have?
[19:07] <rick_h_> the 3rd gen x1 carbon
[19:07] <brousch> I never realized that was a button
[19:07] <rick_h_> well the trackpoint is back to having buttons vs 'click on the touchpad'
[19:07] <rick_h_> and the buttons didn't work
[19:08] <akelling> I have heard good things about those carbon's
[19:08] <rick_h_> yea, 2800x1400 px touchless display <3
[19:08] <akelling> damn
[19:08] <jrwren> depends on the bells. expedition stout is $18 for a 6 pack, and worth every penny
[19:08] <brousch> touchless. WHAT YEAR IS THIS?
[19:09] <jrwren> rick_h_: wtf, how did you do that? I need an eMMC fix for my Acer.
[19:09] <akelling> Yeah that expedition stout is so freaking good. Puts the buzz on too.
[19:09] <rick_h_> jrwren: jcastro hooked me up with folks from the server team here
[19:09] <rick_h_> and they took 5min to fix it and then they wanted to check it all out, file a bug, and both are looking at getting one now
[19:09] <jrwren> rick_h_: oh man! so jelly.
[19:10] <rick_h_> <3 I want them to get one because then they'll make it all worky worky
[19:10] <rick_h_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1417209
[19:10] <jrwren> rick_h_: you've convinced me to bring my acer to next sprint.
[19:10] <rick_h_> jrwren: definitely!
[19:20] <cmaloney> akelling: I think that's the going rate
[19:20] <cmaloney> Bells beer went up in price
[19:20] <cmaloney> Porter is 10.49 at Meijer
[19:21] <cmaloney> Though it goes on special from time to time
[19:21] <cmaloney> rick_h_: That's awesome.
[19:22] <akelling> O really cmaloney. Was 8.99 or 9.99 for a 6 pack in July. But if it went up in price then I dont feel as bad about it.
[19:22] <cmaloney> Yeah, it got expensive in the fall
[19:22] <cmaloney> Like "Have to think about this one" expensive
[19:24] <akelling> gotcha
[19:38] <jrwren> funny how that $1 makes a difference, isn't it?
[19:39] <akelling> well its a 3 dollar diffrence to me.
[19:49] <cmaloney> It's a couple of bucks, but yeah
[19:49] <cmaloney> becomes a $10 six pack instead of a 8.99 six pack. :)
[19:52] <jrwren> becomes a shorts or other brewery six pack instead of a bells six pack :p
[20:22] <cmaloney> Yeah
[21:50] <cmaloney> rick_h_: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4061720/trouble-getting-pylint-to-find-inherited-methods-in-pylons-sa-models
[21:50] <cmaloney> Ran into this one online. :)
[21:50]  * cmaloney is listening to Gojira - Oroborus
[22:38]  * cmaloney is listening to Gojira - Vacuity
[22:38] <cmaloney> I swear this song is such a anger releaser
[22:39] <greg-g> most things you listen to are :)
