| holstein | mhall119 is logged into #ubuntu-us-va | 02:22 |
| holstein | i wont be able to make it again | 02:23 |
| holstein | im a musician, and dont typically have weekends open like that | 02:23 |
| darrell_roa | understandable | 02:23 |
| holstein | the first conference that is on monday tuesday, and wednesday morning, im there :) | 02:23 |
| darrell_roa | i only have to work 1 weekend per month | 02:23 |
| holstein | well.. nice work, if you can get it.. cheers | 02:23 |
| darrell_roa | wow, i didn't see #ubuntu-us-va listed, but there it is | 02:25 |
| holstein | i just tried joining it.. didnt ask it if it were listed :) | 02:25 |
| holstein | anyways, you can always figure those out, and start them back up, if you like | 02:25 |
| darrell_roa | true | 02:26 |
| darrell_roa | i was just looking at the wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC channel list | 02:27 |
| holstein | those are publically editable | 02:27 |
| darrell_roa | gotcha | 02:27 |
| holstein | if you get around to wanting to claim it, for some reason | 02:27 |
| holstein | maybe 2 or 3 of your friends can get it started back | 02:28 |
| darrell_roa | i guess i'm part of the Virginia LoCo - at least I've listed a couple of meetings this year so far | 02:28 |
| holstein | they are open communities, for sure | 02:29 |
| darrell_roa | holstein: is there an active users group there in ashville? | 02:30 |
| holstein | the wncLUG is quite active | 02:30 |
| holstein | im not hosting any meetings officially til september | 02:30 |
| holstein | AFAIK, they are still meeting without me, which is great | 02:30 |
| darrell_roa | cool | 02:30 |
| holstein | i have been asking for help for literally 2 years, every meeting | 02:31 |
| darrell_roa | just started a group here in roanoke, about 6-7 ppl show up at the meetings | 02:31 |
| holstein | if calling the meetings off get others stepping in, thats great | 02:31 |
| holstein | we lost our space for a bit, and were meeting at an earthfare, which was OK | 02:31 |
| holstein | darrell_roa: cool.. good to hear | 02:32 |
| darrell_roa | holstein: ppl in the group doing much with Raspberry Pi? That seems to be a popular item in our group | 02:42 |
| holstein | yup | 02:43 |
| holstein | i have one.. i did a presentation on an easy/quick VPN setup | 02:43 |
| holstein | i also have a chip coming | 02:43 |
| darrell_roa | yeah, i do too ... chip plus all the goodies ... woohoo | 02:49 |
| darrell_roa | wb Bryanstein | 02:50 |
| mhall119 | hi darrell_roa | 02:59 |
| mhall119 | I'm in #ubuntu-us-va, but I'm actually in Florida | 02:59 |
| mhall119 | heading up holstein's way tomorrow morning | 02:59 |
| darrell_roa | hi mhall119 ... sorry, i was ssh'ing to the raspberry pi for a bit | 03:06 |
| darrell_roa | i'm guessing there will be lots-o-Ubuntu-swag at SELF? | 03:10 |
| holstein | prolly lots of microsoft swag.. | 03:10 |
| * darrell_roa chuckles | 03:11 | |
| holstein | they usually represent pretty hard, these days.. anyways, everyone should have freebies to hand out | 03:11 |
| darrell_roa | true | 03:11 |
| holstein | id like to get me a linux sticker to cover my windows key.. but, i kind of like the black tape on there, now | 03:11 |
| darrell_roa | so, my game plan is to snatch up lots of Live DVD discs and then have distribute them at the next Roanoke meeting | 03:12 |
| holstein | yup.. folks need coasters | 03:12 |
| darrell_roa | holstein: I got some stickers for you to cover that windows key | 03:12 |
| holstein | i like the tape :) | 03:12 |
| holstein | its non-commital.. and blends in with the keyboard | 03:13 |
| darrell_roa | gotcha | 03:13 |
| mhall119 | darrell_roa: we should have a decent booth showing | 03:13 |
| holstein | i used to have system76 ubuntu stickers.. i liked those | 03:13 |
| darrell_roa | the Dell Inspiron 1410 i have, i use some electrical tape to cover the Media Center button | 03:13 |
| darrell_roa | turns out, if you press that Media button with Ubuntu installed, it trashes the boot sector | 03:14 |
| darrell_roa | I'll have a whole stack of system76 stickers ... they sent me a bunch of stuff | 03:14 |
| holstein | i got a 3135.. | 03:14 |
| darrell_roa | mhall119: i'm looking forward to checking out the Ubuntu table! | 03:15 |
| darrell_roa | i'm staffing the "Linux in the Ham Shack" (LHS) table at SELF ... | 03:15 |
| darrell_roa | so i'll have a laptop hooked up to a radio (Ubuntu of course) :-) | 03:16 |
| darrell_roa | holstein: the 3135 ... that with a touch screen? | 03:20 |
| holstein | not anymore.. | 03:20 |
| holstein | i dropped it, and that cracked.. but, i was able to peel it off, and still use it | 03:20 |
| holstein | i got it from my sister for $100.. spent $50 on an SSD.. then, removed the touchscreen.. its not bad | 03:20 |
| holstein | i wouldnt get another. or, *any* new windows machine, for that matter | 03:21 |
| darrell_roa | yeah, i was looking at BestBuy over the weekend and didn't like any of the new laptops I saw | 03:21 |
| darrell_roa | i would just be tickled to see BestBuy selling a laptop with Ubuntu installed by default | 03:22 |
| darrell_roa | woohoo! | 03:22 |
| holstein | should be that new cheap dell out soon | 03:23 |
| holstein | $250.. with ubuntu, AFAIK.. i would assume at the box stores... we'll see | 03:23 |
| darrell_roa | yeah, was just looking at the review ... they mentioned it on the Linux Action Show this weekend | 03:23 |
| holstein | thats where i heard about it | 03:25 |
| darrell_roa | i was seriously looking at that Dell | 03:26 |
| darrell_roa | but ordered a System76 instead ... and I talked them into throwing in a t-shirt and the stickers to hand out at SELF | 03:26 |
| darrell_roa | well, battery is about done for ... time to call it quits for the night | 03:30 |
| holstein | darrell_roa: cheers | 03:31 |
