| <SpacePuppy> who here was at the Toronto Meeting on Saturday? | |
| <SpacePuppy> a mind is a horrible thing to waste, so instead of wasting it, i did this.. http://img459.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ubuntutorontord7.png | |
| <SpacePuppy> umm, my rendition of kim's picture of the Ubuntu Toronto meeting on saturday that is.. | |
| <aanderse> heh | |
| <aanderse> sweet | |
| <SpacePuppy> lol, just a little cut and paste job from kims pic at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrkimking/239199163/ | |
| <aanderse> i wish i still lived in toronto -_- | |
| <SpacePuppy> where's you at now? | |
| <aanderse> london | |
| <aanderse> for another 8 months or so :\ | |
| <SpacePuppy> england? | |
| <aanderse> ontario | |
| <SpacePuppy> lol | |
| <aanderse> if i was in london england, i probably wouldn't be complaining | |
| <aanderse> i moved to toronto for the summer | |
| <aanderse> for a summer job | |
| <aanderse> was quite pleased | |
| <aanderse> now i want to come back :( | |
| <aanderse> gotta finish 8 months then im done school though | |
| <SpacePuppy> 8 months ain't long. University or high school? | |
| <aanderse> university | |
| <aanderse> then i can get a job in toronto :) | |
| <SpacePuppy> toronto ain't all it's cracked up tobe. Beer's are expensive, rent is pretty high | |
| <aanderse> don't drink, don't plan on renting | |
| <SpacePuppy> hi Dave | |
| <lophyte> heya | |
| <SpacePuppy> glad you liked what I did to the photo.. | |
| <lophyte> the ubuntu canada logo is a nice touch ;) | |
| <SpacePuppy> it only took about 3 hrs and Im almost tempted to do a 2nd version | |
| <SpacePuppy> i tried to put in the full banner, but I could make it really work. | |
| <SpacePuppy> could/couldn't lol | |
| <lophyte> ahh | |
| <lophyte> you should post it up on the wiki | |
| <SpacePuppy> go ahead and post it if you want. I haven't got an account yet. Don't forget to give David at Linux Caffe the credit for taking the picture. | |
| <lophyte> no prob | |
| <lophyte> I'm still trying to figure what our best bet is for raising awareness.. dundas sq. or finding an indoor location with demos | |
| <lophyte> SpacePuppy: you still there? | |
| <SpacePuppy> hey lophyte | |
| <lophyte> check this out | |
| <SpacePuppy> ya contact him and see what his plans are | |
| * SpacePuppy already read the email | |
| <lophyte> ahh | |
| <lophyte> you're a quick one ;) | |
| <SpacePuppy> and if he has none, he can join up with us if he wants.. I wonder what he plans on giving away.. home burned mdk??? | |
| <lophyte> hehe | |
| <lophyte> I'm emailing him and telling him about our meeting on wednesday | |
| <lophyte> I said if he's already got solid plans down, we'd probably be interested in helping out... if not, then he can come join us | |
| <SpacePuppy> The more the merrier!! | |
| <lophyte> yeah, for sure | |
| <WiKiTyler2> ysy, im in | |
| <WiKiTyler2> yay* | |
| <SpacePuppy> yay? | |
| <WiKiTyler2> i forgot my freenode username/password. and still dont know it | |
| <SpacePuppy> lo | |
| <SpacePuppy> lol | |
| <WiKiTyler2> so...ubuntu....in canada these days... | |
| <SpacePuppy> you in toronto? | |
| <WiKiTyler2> victoria | |
| <SpacePuppy> that's no-where near toronto. It doesn't even really get any snow does it? | |
| <WiKiTyler2> you live in toronto? | |
| * SpacePuppy informs WiKiTyler2 that Toronto is the centre of the universe, and asks him to remind everybody he knows of that. | |
| <SpacePuppy> as if someone in BC needs to be reminded of that rofl. | |
| <WiKiTyler2> well that is what i was referring to :) | |
| <WiKiTyler2> you a regular here? | |
| <SpacePuppy> yes. | |
| <WiKiTyler2> any idea when burgundavia is on? | |
| <SpacePuppy> he's been in and out all night.. pm him if it's important | |
| <WiKiTyler2> he is in charge of stickers for canada right? | |
| <SpacePuppy> could be.. i don't remember off hand.. | |
| <Burgundavia> WiKiTyler2: on right now, what do you need? | |
| <Burgundavia> SpacePuppy: yes, I am | |
| <Madpilot> hi Burgundavia | |
| <Burgundavia> hey Madpilot | |
| <Madpilot> hmm, plugging a USB key into a laptop running a LiveCD causes just a wee bit of lag in system reponse... | |
| <Burgundavia> ah | |
| <Madpilot> cool, Nautilus finally launched ;) | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia, is there a keyboard command in FF to switch tabs? | |
| <Madpilot> nevermind, Ctrl+PageUp|PgDn seems to work | |
| <Madpilot> bloody touchpad | |
| <Tourudactyl> Hmmmmmm. Seems I cannot go to the VLUG meeting tonight because I will be in the room next door getting educated. So close! | |
| <Madpilot> Tourudactyl, just skip class ;) | |
| <Tourudactyl> lol | |
| <Madpilot> it's mini-presentations night, isn't it? | |
| <Burgundavia> Madpilot: yes it is | |
| <Tourudactyl> It's the first one, so that would be unwise, and also I am fond of this semester's schedule and would be disappointed to miss it, lol | |
| <Burgundavia> Tourudactyl: education is highly overrated | |
| <Tourudactyl> Folklore and Myth!! | |
| <Burgundavia> anyway, I have to sleepo | |
| <Tourudactyl> If the meeting is still going when my class ends, I'll barge in half way, hopefully not in a too-impolite fashion. =) | |
| <Madpilot> WTF did I just hit to close the channel on myself? Bloody touchpad | |
| <Tourudactyl> lol | |
| <Madpilot> I might be able to make this VLUG meeting | |
| <Tourudactyl> I might get the last part, we shall see. | |
| <Madpilot> off work at 6, home by 6:30, eat, walk Dobergoof, meeting at 730ish | |
| <Tourudactyl> How long do they run, usually? | |
| <Madpilot> depends | |
| <Madpilot> late, if you count the going-to-Boston-Pizza-for-beer part of the meeting | |
| <Tourudactyl> I'm assuming that's one of the better parts. =D | |
| <Madpilot> often, yes | |
| <Burgundavia> the beer is often the best part of the meeting | |
| <Madpilot> beer at Boston Pizza is VLUG's major activity, really | |
| <Tourudactyl> I approve. | |
| <Tourudactyl> Why Boston Pizza, though? | |
| <Madpilot> because it's close to UVic | |
| <Tourudactyl> Aah. | |
| <Madpilot> it's the one next to Canadian Tire, just up Shelbourne from MacKenzie | |
| <Madpilot> ... bloody touchpad... | |
| <Tourudactyl> Oh, not the Hillsideish one. | |
| <Burgundavia> because VLUG has always gone to Boston Pizza | |
| <Madpilot> and VLUG is a very traditional group ;) | |
| <Tourudactyl> lol | |
| <Madpilot> this new-fangled "let's make *nix easy to use" idea of Ubuntu's is regarded with some distrust amongst some VLUGgers | |
| <Tourudactyl> Oh, sounds like fun arguments. | |
| <Burgundavia> indeed | |
| <Madpilot> apparently being hard to use is a feature some people actually value :) | |
| <Burgundavia> mostly it is just people are lazy | |
| <Tourudactyl> LFS, Slackware, Gentoo? =) | |
| <Madpilot> Gentoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | |
| <Tourudactyl> Ubuntu is definitely laziness-friendly. | |
| <Tourudactyl> This is why I use it. | |
| <Madpilot> Time to install a full Ubuntu system: ~30min. Time for full Gentoo system: We're not sure, we'll let you know when we finish compiling the compilers ;) | |
| <Tourudactyl> So far I've wandered through Mandrake, Debian, and Ubuntu without compiling anything ever. Not sure if this is good or bad! | |
| <Madpilot> heh. I've used Ubuntu for over a year now, I don't think I've ever even installed build-essential | |
| <Tourudactyl> Yep, I've been using it for about that long as well. | |
| <Madpilot> I know my current desktop doesn't have it installed; my Breezy install might have had - I had a lot of odd stuff on that install | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia, you likely to make VLUG tomorrow? | |
| <Burgundavia> yep | |
| <Madpilot> Gah, the LiveCD just froze on me :| | |
| <Madpilot> Tourudactyl: what time is your evening class over? | |
| <Tourudactyl> 9:30, technically, but since it's the first class it may be shorter. | |
| <Madpilot> f'ing touchpad - I just closed the tab *again*... | |
| <Madpilot> I begin to see why people turn off tap-to-click | |
| <Madpilot> anyway... | |
| <Tourudactyl> Oh, did you see my response, or not? | |
| <Madpilot> Tourudactyl: 9:30 but maybe earlier was the last I saw | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia: been ages since I was at a VLUG meeting, how late do the UVic portions usually run? | |
| <Tourudactyl> That was it. | |
| <Tourudactyl> Anyway, time for sleep, so perhaps I'll see you at the meeting, if my class runs short and/or it runs long, heh. | |
| <Madpilot> Tourudactyl: like I said, I'm not sure, but if you stick your head in the room around 9 or 930, there could well still be stuff happening | |
| <Tourudactyl> I will do this! | |
| <Madpilot> I'll be the only one there without a laptop :) | |
| <Tourudactyl> lol | |
| <Tourudactyl> Don't tell me the meetings are conducted on IRC! | |
| <Tourudactyl> With everyone in the same room. | |
| <Madpilot> I'm not going to bother bringing this thing - it's not really mine to schlep around, anyway | |
| <Madpilot> No, but nearly :) | |
| <Tourudactyl> That would be hilarious. | |
| <Madpilot> Tourudactyl: what's your real name, btw? | |
| <Madpilot> <--- Brian | |
| <Tourudactyl> Alyssa. | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia is Corey | |
| <Tourudactyl> I lurk on the mailing list, so this I know. | |
| <Madpilot> Tourudactyl: I think we exchanged email before Breezy came out, about the release party? | |
| <Tourudactyl> Yeah, possibly. | |
| <Madpilot> in any case, I need to crash too. If you can make it tomorrow night, cool. If not, we'll have to arrange something else | |
| <Tourudactyl> Sure thing! | |
| <Tourudactyl> Night. | |
| <Madpilot> Tourudactyl: night | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia: I'll likely be a bit late to VLUG, but I'll be there - probably after 7, but before 730. | |
| <Madpilot> Later, all | |
| <lophyte> hey all | |
| *** blaine is now known as darkenergy | |
| <lophyte> hey rexbron | |
| <rexbron> ola | |
| <rexbron> so meeting at LC tomorrow? | |
| <lophyte> yup | |
| <lophyte> 6pm | |
| <rexbron> ok | |
| <rexbron> will be there | |
| <rexbron> got some info on printing | |
| <lophyte> nice | |
| <rexbron> its about 3 cents a page for bw | |
| <lophyte> that's awesome | |
| <rexbron> and 30 cents a page for colour | |
| <rexbron> i am thinking we go bw | |
| <lophyte> yeah | |
| <lophyte> we'll discuss tomorrow night | |
| <rexbron> if we print 300 flyers that will be 9$ | |
| <lophyte> that's nice and cheap |
