cmaloneyIT's late enough that I've moved to wine. :)00:31
cmaloneyFinishing off the remnants of a Pinot Grigio00:31
cmaloneyand reminding myself that the only white wines I really like are Chardonnays, Reislings, and Piesporters00:31
cmaloneyAnd Ice Wine / White Port00:33
cmaloneyYeah, I don't recommend the Leopold keyboards anymore because I've had to send mine in for service a few times00:33
cmaloneythey get chattery00:34
jrwreni haven't had a peisporter in a long time.00:45

cmaloneyHello everyone02:01
cmaloneyFirst off: I really hate that lady who has to let everyone know that she likes Masterpiece.02:01
cmaloneyhttp://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-mi/913/detail/02:01
cmaloneyCan I get a quick show of hands for everyone who is here?02:01

gamerchick02are you referring to me as the "lady who let's everyone know that she likes Masterpiece"?02:03
gamerchick02:-P02:03
cmaloneyNo, I mean the lady  that has to show up on every fucking Masterpiece thing02:03

cmaloneyAnywho. we only have a few things to cover.02:05
cmaloneyNamely 1) Penguicon and the Release Party02:05
gamerchick02ok02:05
cmaloneyI've contacted the Penguicon Tech Track to see if we need to get anything special from the Hotel Liaison02:06
cmaloneySo that should be underway02:06
gamerchick02awesome.02:06
waldo323more signage for the event would be helpful02:07
cmaloneyPfft02:08
cmaloney;)02:08
gamerchick02signs are always a good idea02:08
cmaloneyThat might be helpful though folks do tend to find us.02:09
cmaloneyAnywho, that's coming up02:11
cmaloneyso please keep that on your calendar02:11
cmaloneyOnce we have confirmation I'll put it up in the upcoming events.02:11

cmaloneyThat's all I have for now. :)02:16
cmaloneyAnything else?02:16
gamerchick02i've got nothing02:18
waldo323Ditto02:18
gamerchick02unless anyone has a recommendation for an 11-13 inch cheap laptop that will work with ubuntu02:18
cmaloneyOK, we'll call the meeting over then. Thank you everyone!02:22
rick_h_gamerchick02: selling my xps 13 developer edition :) came with ubuntu on it.02:23
gamerchick02for real?02:23
gamerchick02wow. how much do you want for it?02:23
rick_h_gamerchick02: yea, went back to thinkpad with the new X1, have a few power cords for it and such02:24
gamerchick02does it require special drivers?02:24
gamerchick02or is everything in the kernal?02:24
rick_h_$650, got it in june02:24
rick_h_so I reinstalled with 14.10 and didn't have to add anything02:24
gamerchick02you, me, and jrwren should meet somewhere and exchange tech.02:25
gamerchick02wow that's new then! i thought it was one of the older ones, when they started the dev editions02:25
rick_h_CHC every wed night :)02:25
rick_h_no, it was a second or third gen developer edition02:25
gamerchick02:-D02:25
rick_h_high res with teh touch screen and ssd and such02:25
gamerchick02nice, so they ironed out a lot of the issues02:25
gamerchick02OMG02:25
rick_h_just not a thinkpad02:25
gamerchick02how's the battery?02:26
rick_h_so it's just been sittingon the shelf the last month02:26
gamerchick02yeah02:26
rick_h_it was good, I don't run the normal unity/etc so I have to manually do the battery power mgt, think I would get 4-6hrs depending02:26
gamerchick02oooo02:27
gamerchick02if i ran unity, i'd probably get about the same or slightly less?02:27
rick_h_I think more02:27
rick_h_because it auto dims the screen and such02:27
rick_h_where I have a shell script I use to put thing in lower power states/etc02:27
rick_h_and don't always run that script/etc02:27
gamerchick02wow nice ok.02:28
gamerchick02cool02:28
rick_h_but you can try it out and see02:28
gamerchick02no UFEI and crap to mess with then02:29
rick_h_it's got the modern boot loader stuff but it works.02:30
* rick_h_ isn't up on UFEI sucky stuff?02:30
gamerchick02ok. so if i go clean install everything will work straight away and i won't have to muck with wifi.02:30
gamerchick02that's what i'm mostly worried about02:30
rick_h_yep02:30
gamerchick02and UFEI is a HUGE pita02:30
gamerchick02from what i've read02:30
gamerchick02so let's see, i'd have the mac, the windows desktop, and this if i get one. hah02:31
rick_h_well it's the developer edition so came with ubuntu02:31
gamerchick02i've got a decent refund coming back so i'd be able to get it (i'd be able to get it anyway but something that i don't have to screw with is +1)02:31
* rick_h_ types on his system76 desktop, looks to his left at his air for photos, and back to his X1 for work laptop use, then up at the 5 intel nucs, and wonders where that old x230 went off to lol02:31
rick_h_cool, let me know and happy to bring it out to CHC and make sure it's got a clean install on it.02:32
rick_h_comes with bonus bookie sticker lol02:32
gamerchick02LOL rick_h_ you are hilarious!02:32
gamerchick02i have a chromebook but i'm trying to dump that off on a friend because it's just what she needs.02:33
gamerchick02unless someone in here wants a chromebook to muck about with?02:33
gamerchick02we'll see how i feel on wednesday. like i said earlier, i've been insanely exhausted after work lately and i've been going to bed like at 10 on the dot lately.02:38

jrwrenwhen people mark bugs as invalid, do they realize how infuriating it is?22:23
gamerchick02probably not. or maybe they do and just want to piss off the devs.22:23
jrwrenyou mean piss of the users.22:23
jrwrenthe dev marked it invalid.22:23
rick_h_it's a personal attack upon yourself, you should find out where he lives and take out attack ads on facebook and reddit22:24
jrwrenlol.22:24
jrwrendoxx and swat 'em.  Nah, not my style.22:25
jrwrenFork and move on is my style, and I'd normally trash the project to anyone who will listen... but when the project is ubuntu... :(22:25
jrwrenmight be MOTU, not sure.22:25
cmaloneyjrwren: You should stop reporting invalid bugs. ;)22:26
cmaloney(yes, that's one of my pet peeves)22:26
cmaloney(along with "This bug is over XX days old and will be automatically closed")22:26
gamerchick02the dev marked it invalid? ugh.22:27
gamerchick02what about going "hrm, this might be related to this OTHER thing" and then link the two?22:28
* jrwren says in his lamest squeeky nerd voice "its not an invalid bug. its real!"22:35
gamerchick02of course it's real. they wouldn't have reported it if it wasn't!22:36
jrwrenI reported it.22:36
jrwrenhence the rage.22:36
gamerchick02yes22:36
gamerchick02who here uses Hadoop? there's a 50% off on it for oreilly.23:11
gamerchick02eee it's apache23:11
greg-gwe (WMF) have a hadoop cluster23:13
greg-gour analytics team uses it23:13
gamerchick02it's the deal of the day23:13
gamerchick02down to 21.4923:13
gamerchick02who came up with "hadoop"? sounds like something someone uttered when they tripped over the server and unplugged it.23:14
gamerchick02http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033448.do?code=DEAL&imm_mid=0cdbb3&cmp=em-data-books-videos-product-dod_hadoop_the_definitive_guide_deal use code DEAL23:15
greg-gHadoop was created by Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella[12] in 2005. Cutting, who was working at Yahoo! at the time,[13] named it after his son's toy elephant.[14]23:15
greg-ghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Hadoop23:15
gamerchick02ah.23:15
gamerchick02thank ya. interesting23:16
gamerchick02but yes that book might come in handy. feel free to snag and buy and use the coupon code23:17
gamerchick02_phoHey my phone works!23:29
gamerchick02LOL it looks like i'm eating pho on my phone23:30
gamerchick02i'll fix that23:30
=== gamerchick02_pho is now known as GC02_phone
GC02_phoneAndroirc is kinda nice!23:36
mrgoodcati like androirc23:46
mrgoodcatbut i don't like having to connect every time23:46
mrgoodcati want to be able to see backlog and stuff23:46
rick_h_juicessh to irssi running on a server ftw :)23:46
mrgoodcatthats what i do :)23:46
mrgoodcator you can set up an irc proxy that saves backlog for you and sends it when you connect23:47
mrgoodcatbut that's suboptimal23:47
GC02_phoneTrue.23:55
rick_h_False23:55
GC02_phoneI guess I could just let it fun all the time..23:55
GC02_phoneRun. See,  now you get to see what a terrible phone typist I am.23:56
rick_h_heh, I don't irc on the phone. Too evil, just my tablet23:56
rick_h_and even then I try to do it from the BT keyboard23:56
rick_h_nothing worse than trying to have an irc conversation where one person is behind their computer and you're on a mobile device with a trouchscreen keyboard. lose every time23:57
