[04:27] <Salt> valorie, ditto!
[05:35] <valorie> excellet
[05:35] <valorie> excellent
[05:36] <valorie> should be really fun
[05:36] <Salt> yeap
[05:37] <valorie> what are you up to these days?
[05:38] <valorie> well I mean, except for the obvious
[05:38] <valorie> GSLUG, SeaGL, I know
[05:41] <Salt> school
[05:41] <Salt> went back in summer and graduating next quarter
[05:42] <Salt> switched majors so to graduate I need to take one foreign language and two 400 level courses each quarter
[05:42] <Salt> also I'm doing ~20 hr/wk of research, so yeah, free time and sleep, whare are these?
[05:43] <valorie> wow
[05:43] <valorie> very impressive
[05:43] <valorie> what's your major?
[05:44] <valorie> if anybody can make that schedule work, it's you
[05:47] <Salt> communications, focusing on public speaking and rhetoric, though my research is in programming learning through oss remixing
[06:11] <valorie> nice mix
[06:11] <valorie> will you do a talk this year at LFNW?
[06:11] <Salt> well, mine made it into the proposed sessions, but I haven't gotten confirmation yet
[06:12] <valorie> cool
[06:12] <valorie> I hope to hear it
[06:15] <Salt> will you have the kubuntu table going?
[06:18] <valorie> yup
[06:18] <valorie> I think KDE and the Portland Ubuntu people will share
[06:19] <valorie> and hopefully closer to y'all this time
[06:19] <valorie> felt strange being off on my own
[06:22] <Salt> yaeh definitely
[06:22] <Salt> did you see that lubuntu is switching from gtk to qt?
[06:23] <Salt> lxde itself is rather
[06:23] <valorie> right
[06:23] <valorie> I'm back to doing genealogy research, using gramps
[06:23] <valorie> I so wish they were using Qt
[06:23] <valorie> gtk seems not to be progressing
[06:24] <valorie> oh, well, at least there are good free options
[06:34] <Salt> more regressing, cest la vie
[06:34] <Salt> I'm going to get some shut eye before a week without any, toodles
[06:42] <valorie> sweet dreams
