[00:07] <nhandler> nhaines, pleia2: Managed to get $work to send me to Scale 14x/DevOps Days LA \o/
[00:08] <pleia2> nhandler: yay!
[00:08] <pleia2> I'll be speaking at devops days la, but will likely go back to ubucon after my talk
[00:12] <nhandler> pleia2: I'll be sure to attend your talk. Will definitely try to spend time at Ubucon, but will probably have to report back on a few of the devops talks for people at work.
[00:12]  * pleia2 nods
[00:12]  * nhandler adds this to his growing list of trips he has to book flights/hotels for
[00:13] <pleia2> hehe
[00:13] <Adran> Hello!
[00:13] <Adran> I'm back!
[00:13] <pleia2> I'm flying into burbank, a little more expensive than LAX but much shorter cab ride (especially if there's traffic, because LA)
[00:14] <pleia2> and more expensive was like 210 rather than 180, will likely make up for it in cab expenses :)
[00:15] <pleia2> hi Adran
[00:15] <Adran> hi pleia2
[00:15] <Adran> Are you going to be at SCALE again this year?
[00:15] <pleia2> Adran: yep
[00:15] <Adran> sweet
[00:16] <pleia2> you?
[00:16] <Adran> yeah
[00:16] <pleia2> I missed last year, so it'll be nice to be back
[00:16] <Adran> along with 100+ people from my lug
[00:16] <pleia2> woo
[00:16] <Adran> feel free to crash our group photo :P
[00:16] <Adran> we also have a booth, so feel free to say hi
[00:17] <pleia2> haha, let me know where+when!
[00:17] <pleia2> cool, will do
[19:02] <nhandler> pleia2: I'm starting to feel your airline choosing pains (at a much lower level). Debating between United (which I don't really care for) to BUR or Virgin (which I like) to LAX. Decisions, decisions, decisions :)
[19:03] <pleia2> Virgin is nice (only 4 star in the US!), but their FF programs are not awesome (and non-existant for int'l(
[19:04] <pleia2> still, I fly them sometimes as a one off for quick trips sometimes :)
[21:20] <nhandler> Well, United just helped me make up my mind. I only had my middle initial listed, and changing it to use my full middle name will take ~2 weeks. This means no TSA Pre. I guess I'm flying Virgin to LAX :)
[21:21] <ianorlinqt> hmm middle inital could save the tab autocomplete problem ;p
[21:29] <nhaines> nhandler: glad you're making it to SCALE after all!  :)
[22:24] <nhandler> ianorlinqt: Not really. Middle initial is H, so I would be nhhandler (I guess you only need to type 3 letters then tab instead of 4 though)
[22:24] <nhandler> nhaines: So am I. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out at this late stage.
