| azend|vps | :D | 03:59 |
| 6A4ABPLMC | Hey everyone! Linux Conference at Conestoga College in Kitchener, Ontario on 30 January 2016 from 9:00am to 4:00pm: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?eid=ZGdndjVyYnA1aXNraWNsajlxMjRocW9zc28gbmxrYzM5anQ0cDBuYmM0cGs5cGo3cDVmaDBAZw&ctz=America/New_York | 04:14 |
| azend|vps | [22:59:06] <azend|vps> wha | 04:20 |
| azend|vps | [22:59:19] <azend|vps> conference at Conestoga College? | 04:20 |
| azend|vps | [22:59:20] <azend|vps> :D | 04:20 |
| azend|vps | 6A4ABPLMC: | 04:20 |
| === 6A4ABPLMC is now known as BobJonkman1 | ||
| azend|vps | with a name like 6A4ABPLMC, I think Bob has turned into a robot | 04:21 |
| * BobJonkman1 wonders what happened to the nick database | 04:21 | |
| BobJonkman1 | Yeh, it's something Colin Mills has been wanting to do for a long time | 04:21 |
| azend|vps | Seems like a good guy to meet | 04:21 |
| BobJonkman1 | He approached KWLUG in the summer, and we thought we might have it concurrent with Software Freedom Day (September), but something fell through at his end | 04:22 |
| azend|vps | I personally know all of the lecturers at his conference other than Colin :P | 04:22 |
| BobJonkman1 | I've never met Colin either | 04:22 |
| azend|vps | Have you met Randy or Ed? | 04:22 |
| BobJonkman1 | Nope! | 04:23 |
| BobJonkman1 | Or maybe I have, and I've forgotten their names. | 04:23 |
| azend|vps | They're both good guys! | 04:23 |
| BobJonkman1 | I'm getting really bad like that | 04:23 |
| azend|vps | Last time I talked to Randy, he was developing graphing modules for Drupal | 04:24 |
| BobJonkman1 | So, you up for doing a talk on Arduino Shields For The Uncommonly Large Hacker? | 04:24 |
| azend|vps | and Ed is one of my teachers | 04:25 |
| azend|vps | heh | 04:25 |
| BobJonkman1 | Cool! Hope I live up to their standards... | 04:25 |
| azend|vps | I'd like to but I'm pretty overworked right now | 04:25 |
| BobJonkman1 | But you'll be there for the conference, right? | 04:25 |
| azend|vps | It would be pretty funny to show up on the day and present next to my teacher though :P | 04:26 |
| azend|vps | BobJonkman1: well I did just find out about it but I think so | 04:26 |
| BobJonkman1 | Can't hurt! | 04:26 |
| azend|vps | I won't be there in the morning though :( | 04:26 |
| BobJonkman1 | Too bad. | 04:26 |
| azend|vps | I've developed some health issues that mean I can't do mornings :/ | 04:26 |
| BobJonkman1 | Yeh, I was e-mailing with Colin, he didn't want to post anything until everything was finalized | 04:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | Oh, sorry to hear (health issues). | 04:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | How's the housing situation? | 04:27 |
| azend|vps | bad | 04:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | Sorry to hear that too... | 04:27 |
| azend|vps | My family doesn't have the best luck recently | 04:27 |
| azend|vps | It's kind of astronomical how many things have gone wrong | 04:27 |
| azend|vps | but I'm still trying to be chipper | 04:27 |
| BobJonkman1 | Good. | 04:28 |
| azend|vps | How've you been? | 04:28 |
| BobJonkman1 | Not too bad. | 04:28 |
| BobJonkman1 | Contract finished at the end of June | 04:28 |
| BobJonkman1 | Tried a career change -- ran for the Green Party here in Kitchener-Conestoga. Fun, but draining. And I lost :(( | 04:29 |
| azend|vps | :( | 04:29 |
| BobJonkman1 | Looking for another long-term contract, but haven't looked that hard. | 04:29 |
| BobJonkman1 | Election loss wasn't unexpected -- Harold Albrecht has a stranglehold on this area. And deep down he's a decent guy, even if he does run for the wrong party. | 04:30 |
| azend|vps | Sounds pretty rough | 04:30 |
| azend|vps | Politics are pretty hard for everyone involved | 04:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | Nah. it was a great learning experience. | 04:30 |
| azend|vps | My grandmother is in politics and it's hard to get her to talk about anything else | 04:31 |
| BobJonkman1 | I'll probably run again, finances permitting. Provincial election in 2018, and if that's not successful, the next Federal election in 2019 | 04:31 |
| BobJonkman1 | I know, politician's disease, eh? | 04:31 |
| azend|vps | Well having it be 20ish years of your life doesn't help either | 04:33 |
| azend|vps | BobJonkman1: you still doing the irc thing? | 04:37 |
| BobJonkman1 | I keep forgetting to turn on Pidgin, but otherwise, yes | 04:37 |
| BobJonkman1 | Oh, you mean the regular Ubuntu-ca meetings on IRC? No... | 04:38 |
| azend|vps | no | 04:38 |
| azend|vps | lul | 04:38 |
| azend|vps | I just meant IRC in general | 04:38 |
| BobJonkman1 | The last few meetings were mostly just me talking to myself. So when the LoCo had to be renewed (again!) we sort of took a back seat. | 04:39 |
| BobJonkman1 | Yeh, if I remember to turn on my client then it'll be on an idling even when I'm AFK | 04:39 |
| BobJonkman1 | I've got a dedicated comm server for XMPP, and I should really learn to use IRSSI | 04:40 |
| BobJonkman1 | That way I can just keep IRSSI running and either shell into the server or use the IRSSI relay function to connect Pidgin to it | 04:41 |
| azend|vps | yeah | 04:43 |
| azend|vps | having irssi + ssh/mosh + mobile ssh client is pretty sweet | 04:43 |
| azend|vps | like on your android phone or whatever | 04:43 |
| azend|vps | I use quassel though so I've already go that covered | 04:44 |
| BobJonkman1 | Don't know quassel. I use YAIC on my phone, but it doesn't auto-start. So I never remember to turn it on. | 04:48 |
| azend|vps | it's a pretty cool one | 04:49 |
| azend|vps | BobJonkman1: pm? | 04:49 |
| BobJonkman2 | O hai! | 04:49 |
| azend|vps | hai! | 04:49 |
