| nhaines | pleia2: but redundancy! :) | 22:29 |
| pleia2 | :) | 22:30 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I did read that back then, so if those sentiments hold firm in the specific case as well as general, duly noted. :) | 22:30 |
| pleia2 | yeah, we should use meetup and whatever integration that may be developed for loco.u.c because I like it | 22:31 |
| nhaines | Yup, that's my general feeling too. | 22:32 |
| nhaines | I need Amazon reviews for my book, preferably 5-star! | 22:32 |
| nhaines | pleia2: would you be free to like just sort of skim over my book and write something short this weekend? | 22:32 |
| nhaines | And in fact, if there's anyone in here who would like a free electronic copy in exchange for an honest review, do let me know at nhaines@ubuntu.com. | 22:33 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: unfortunately not, flying to las vegas friday night, coming home saturday night, doing laundry, packing, then off to houston on tuesday morning, tokyo from there the next 2 weeks | 22:34 |
| nhaines | Aww. I'll pin you down when you get back. :) | 22:34 |
| pleia2 | I come home from my last conference of the year in the middle of november some time :) | 22:36 |
| nhaines | Anything fun going on in Vegas? | 22:40 |
| pleia2 | no, crazy flight routing on my husband's flight home from Montreal made him end up with a 20 hour layover in vegas | 22:42 |
| pleia2 | so obviously I should just fly out to meet him, staying at the Luxor for a night (he'd never stay there "for real" and I've always wanted to) and then going to see some animals and eat some food | 22:43 |
| pleia2 | oh, and swim in the pools at the Luxor because they are cool | 22:43 |
| nhaines | That sounds fun to me. :) | 22:44 |
| pleia2 | well, it's fun, but it's not really "going on" :) it's just a little jaunt | 22:45 |
| nhaines | That's the best kind of trip anyway. :) I'll end up in Vegas for fun at least once next year. Maybe twice if book sales are brisk! | 22:46 |
| pleia2 | :D | 22:47 |
| nhaines | Right now the priority is saving up enough to get to Disneyland with Alexander before they redo Tomorrowland. (i.e., so half of everything isn't shutdown, although going pre-Star Wars stuff is a good excuse to go a second time next year, too.) | 22:47 |
| * pleia2 nods | 22:47 | |
| pleia2 | I still have not been | 22:47 |
| nhaines | Nine years old and he's never been! (Disney World doesn't count!) | 22:47 |
| pleia2 | might as well wait for star wars at this ponit | 22:47 |
| pleia2 | point | 22:48 |
| nhaines | It's a fun time. Less stress if you get a two day pass. | 22:48 |
| * pleia2 nods | 22:49 | |
| pleia2 | I did Disney World a few years back, so that's kind of how I expected it to be | 22:49 |
| nhaines | I can (and have) hit every pretty much single ride with a kid in tow from 8am to midnight, but it's worth taking in the sights. | 22:49 |
| nhaines | I've never been to Disney World before. It's kind of on the list eventually. | 22:50 |
| * nhaines waves his hand vaguely. | 22:50 | |
| pleia2 | haha, nice | 22:50 |
| pleia2 | I went when there was a UDS in Orlando | 22:50 |
| nhaines | Too bad it's a bit far from SCALE, but the freeway system helps. | 22:51 |
| nhaines | I think I've twitterated more today than in the last two years. I hope I'm doing it right. Twitter's a little perplexing to me. | 22:51 |
| pleia2 | yeah, we'll see how this year turns out, may just end up coming down the whole week so I can do some LA things | 22:51 |
| pleia2 | you're doing fine :) | 22:52 |
| nhaines | Haha, thanks. I guess you mention other twitter handles and use links a lot? I don't know. | 22:52 |
| nhaines | Richard plans to have a *ton* of Pasadena stuff on the "Activities near SCALE" page this year. Should be very interesting stuff. | 22:52 |
| nhaines | I suggested we march on the Sheraton holding penguin signs to make them regret their complete disinterest in offering a group rate. | 22:53 |
| pleia2 | I don't use links a lot, except photos, and I do those "wrong" since I link to Flickr rather than using Twitter's photo thing or something like instagram | 22:53 |
| nhaines | But Richard thinks when they see 5,000 people staying at their competitors that next year's conversation for SCALE 15x might be different. | 22:54 |
| pleia2 | but Flickr is where my photos go, I am happy with their rights, licensing and export policies | 22:54 |
| pleia2 | haha | 22:54 |
| nhaines | The Ubucon plans are so exciting! I'm hoping to hear more about our meet and greet events tomorrow! | 22:59 |
| nhaines | It's going to be a lot of fun to announce the new changes. | 22:59 |
| pleia2 | I will be on the call! | 22:59 |
| nhaines | \o/ | 22:59 |
| nhaines | I think you'll like our crazy, ambition plans. :) | 23:03 |
