| nhandler | pleia2: Welcome back to the US :) | 03:02 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | nhandler: thank you :) | 03:02 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Are you going to be at the BALUG dinner tomorrow? | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: welcome to california! I see an earthquare greeted you as well (I was in a plane flying home) | 03:03 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: no, I'll be in Palo Alto for an openstack event :\ | 03:03 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Thanks. And yeah, it was definitely an interesting wake up call this morning. And darn, I wsa hoping to catch up in person. But I guess we'll have plenty of time now that we are living in the same city | 03:04 |
| pleia2 | indeed! | 03:05 |
| pleia2 | after labor day I'm in town for a whole month, will host an ubuntu hour on the 9th | 03:05 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Cool, can't wait. It will be a nice birthday treat (my birthday is the 4th) | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | :D | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | also, happy to do lunch most days too, since you work across the street | 03:08 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I'll definitely take you up on it, but give me a couple of weeks to settle into a work routine. | 03:13 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: totally, you know where to find me :) | 03:13 |
| nhaines | I'm so happy I'm basically halfway finished with the second draft for this book. | 03:42 |
| nhaines | I'm going to see if I can make it 2/3rds by the end of tonight. As soon as I pour some scotch... | 03:42 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: woo :) | 03:43 |
| nhaines | This kind of revision is really easy, except for the bits where it's "Oh yeah, I didn't even mention that" and then I have to write something again. | 03:44 |
| nhaines | Like when I realized in my command line chapter "Oh wait, I never talked about how to create users graphically. | 03:44 |
| nhaines | " | 03:44 |
| pleia2 | I've had some great reviewers point out some of those kinds of things | 03:44 |
| pleia2 | I felt bad at first for them catching things, but I've come around to the fact that it takes a village to write a book | 03:45 |
| nhaines | Yeah, I got Apress to get jbermudes to do tech review, and he's been stunning. | 03:45 |
| pleia2 | I have a whole fleet of reviewers at this point <3 | 03:45 |
| pleia2 | although, keeping it organized has been interesting | 03:46 |
| nhaines | Yup, I've done enough tech support to not worry about omissions. I mean, I'm writing for someone with no prior experience with Ubuntu but I have 21 years of Linux experience. | 03:46 |
| nhaines | I'm more impressed when I didn't forget something. :) | 03:46 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:46 | |
| nhaines | Also keeping things organized is the worst thing ever. :D | 03:46 |
| pleia2 | ++ | 03:46 |
| pleia2 | still think I'll consider revision-controllable format if I do this again | 03:47 |
| pleia2 | (right now I don't want to ever do this again OMG RUINING MY LIFEEE) | 03:47 |
| nhaines | Yeah, getting the last three chapters done was like a trail of tears. | 03:47 |
| nhaines | But at least things are breaking down into 3-4 hour chunks. So like, if I weren't behind I could be doing other stuff now too. | 03:48 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:48 | |
| nhaines | We'll see. Tomorrow my New Nintendo 3DS XL charging cradle arrives from Nintendo. And a week's supply of Soylent, too. So it'll be an exciting day. | 03:49 |
| nhaines | Nintendo chose UPS and Soylent chose FedEx, so I imagine them glaring each other as they pass each other on the street. | 03:50 |
| pleia2 | oh, that reminds me, did you find your 3DS battery die over time? | 03:50 |
| pleia2 | and can it be replaced? | 03:50 |
| nhaines | No because I only play it at home and on the charger. And yes, yes it can! In fact, I think they sell a bigger battery. | 03:50 |
| pleia2 | it still works, just doesn't last as long as it used to | 03:50 |
| pleia2 | ok cool, I'll have to look into it | 03:51 |
| pleia2 | it's been harder to travel with on long haul flights lately because on in airport for streetpass + 5 hours of playing on plane and it's dead :( | 03:51 |
| nhaines | Is it an original 3DS? | 03:51 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 03:51 |

| darthrobot | Title: [Shop Nintendo | Nintendo Online Store] | 03:51 |
| pleia2 | cool, thanks :) | 03:51 |
| nhaines | You're welcome! It's really easy to find everything at Nintendo's store, but only once you're used to it. :) | 04:01 |
| pleia2 | heh, I am still at the "too few or too many" results phase of trying to use their site ;) | 04:02 |
| nhaines | Yeah, I just use the category navigation for the store. I don't bother with the site itself except for Nintendo Directs. | 04:02 |
| nhaines | Which are going to be really sad without Iwata-san. But I really like Bill Trinen, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.. | 04:03 |
| pleia2 | Directs? | 04:04 |
| nhaines | Plural of the "Nintendo Direct" presentations they do for us a few times every year. | 04:05 |
| pleia2 | aaah, neat | 04:07 |
| nhaines | G+ post about UWN, +1ed and reshared. :) | 04:07 |
| pleia2 | I'm not feeling well tonight, so releasing this is taking forever x_x | 04:08 |
| pleia2 | woo distractions | 04:08 |
| nhaines | \o/ | 04:08 |
