| <ryanakca> is it just me, or does that laptop not come with a CD drive? (just a DVD drive...) | |
| <Burgwork> ryanakca: most laptops no longer come with cd only | |
| <Burgwork> however, you know that dvd drives can play cds, no? | |
| <ryanakca> oh, really? | |
| <ryanakca> heh, interesting... | |
| <ryanakca> and I presume it can't burn them? | |
| <Burgwork> depends on the drive | |
| <Burgwork> most of the dvd drives they ship are cd-r/rw and dvd | |
| <ryanakca> ah, kk | |
| * ryanakca is looking for http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=24681706897&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3NwZWNpZmljYXRpb25z&product_uid=120050 in canada :) | |
| <ryanakca> not exactly the same as the one in the acer.ca link above... just a bit better... I think | |
| <ryanakca> it comes out to about 1300CAD... and I'm guessing an extra 100$ for shipping... | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: You couldn't even tinyurl that eh? | |
| <ryanakca> nope :D | |
| <ryanakca> better than the link I had pasted into ##windows a couple of weeks ago... three lines long... of course, it was from a microsoft website... so what do you expect? :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> Yay for my URL grab script | |
| <tonyyarusso> hehe | |
| <tonyyarusso> Why were you in ##windows? | |
| <ryanakca> I broke my mom's installation... | |
| <tonyyarusso> ah | |
| <ryanakca> I was setting up a dual boot... and it kindof went bad... | |
| <ryanakca> windows wouldn't boot... all her files where there though... | |
| <tonyyarusso> Re: above, yeah, I was upset when I found out my DVD drive couldn't burn. It was called somthing like CD-RW/DVD Multiburner or some such, very confusing. | |
| <tonyyarusso> bad grub? | |
| <ryanakca> no... | |
| <ryanakca> It was dying at ntfs.sys | |
| <tonyyarusso> whoaaa lappy cool down | |
| <ryanakca> bad driver | |
| <tonyyarusso> ah | |
| <ryanakca> É | |
| <ryanakca> s/É/? | |
| * ryanakca needs have an applet in the middle of the screen so that he knows if he's using the french keyboard or the US one :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> It has a habit of warming up randomly | |
| <ryanakca> lol | |
| <tonyyarusso> at least you know french | |
| <ryanakca> yeah | |
| * ryanakca wonders if the canonical people in montreal speak french :) | |
| <SpacePuppy> arf! | |
| <ryanakca> o.O | |
| <tonyyarusso> Kurt is from the US I think, so not natively, but he may have picked up a bit by now. | |
| <tonyyarusso> hi SpacePuppy | |
| <SpacePuppy> bonjour tonyyarusso | |
| <ryanakca> ah | |
| * ryanakca doesn't know their names | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: /whois that mnep guy :) | |
| <ryanakca> all I know is that Riddell is on the canonical payroll... and so is mez (or whoever is the release manager... I think...) | |
| <ryanakca> [21:00] [Error] mnep: No such nick/channel. | |
| <ryanakca> :P | |
| <tonyyarusso> So is MagicFab | |
| <tonyyarusso> mnep*_? | |
| <tonyyarusso> however you want me to do that without increasing his away log more | |
| <ryanakca> nope :D | |
| <ryanakca> oh | |
| <ryanakca> lol | |
| * ryanakca just looked in the nicklist | |
| <ryanakca> tonyyarusso: he doesn't have an ubuntu cloak? pitty | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: He has a canonical.com one while at work, but nothing while at home (he's not a member) | |
| <MagicFab> mneptok is also a conspiracy theorist (like me) | |
| <tonyyarusso> (yet) | |
| <ryanakca> ah | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: You ever laid eyes on a system76 machine? | |
| <MagicFab> tonyyarusso, yes, in fact we have some in certification here (Canonical labs in Montreal) | |
| * ryanakca would've thought that being a canonical employee automaticly entitled you to an ubuntu cloak.... or launchpad/bzr one :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: Just making sure you were in the right room ;) Thoughts? | |
| <ryanakca> MagicFab: any good? | |
| <MagicFab> tonyyarusso, and I hear their new offerings are going to be very nice / nicely priced | |
| <ryanakca> new offerings? | |
| * ryanakca makes a mental note to check their website in a week or so | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: I have a ThinkPad T43p right now, and as far as look / size / layout I love it, so anything that feels similar would be nice. | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: Yeah, I saw someone on Planet about that | |
| <ryanakca> oh yeah... *remembers* | |
| <tonyyarusso> One of the things that puts me at disadvantage is I actually like black in a laptop. | |
| <tonyyarusso> Seems the trend is towards shiny | |
| <MagicFab> via planet.ubuntu.com ... | |
| <MagicFab> http://joey.ubuntu-rocks.org/blog/2007/01/20/top-secret-unboxing-system76s-unannounced-laptop/ | |
| <tonyyarusso> I also like solid and machine-like, not that plasticy hollow toy feel (ie Dell Inspiron) | |
| <ryanakca> lol | |
| <ryanakca> my grandmum has an old thinkpad running windows 98 iirc | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: How do theirs "feel"? | |
| <MagicFab> tonyyarusso, so far I only have seen one of their laptops here.. Can't say which one, as all is numbered/unidentified - for obvious reasons I guess | |
| <ryanakca> and I'd give her a copy of ubuntu/xubuntu... but... she's not exactly going to change :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: Install under cover of darkness | |
| <MagicFab> Haven't played with it though. | |
| <ryanakca> MagicFab: tell me how you like it once you do... | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: If you have a free lunch break sometime, see if you can get your mitts on it and check it out | |
| <ryanakca> tonyyarusso: thanks for reminding me... | |
| * ryanakca forgot his gloves today... bloody freezing... | |
| * ryanakca goes to get his mitts :) | |
| <MagicFab> I am just a picture shy of getting my feeds on Ubuntu planet and start blogging again | |
| <MagicFab> I want to report back on some internal stuff so I am getting clearance for different things | |
| <ryanakca> ah | |
| <tonyyarusso> Sweet | |
| <tonyyarusso> I'm a set-up-a-better-blog shy | |
| <MagicFab> For example, talking about the hardware being certified, packages being prepared for commercial customers, OEM deals, employment and growth, etc. | |
| <tonyyarusso> Which I had inteneded to do after my machine comes back from the shop | |
| <tonyyarusso> Yeah, I wish we had more info about stuff like that. Would be good to know | |
| <MagicFab> tonyyarusso, bah, get tony.wordpress.com going ;) | |
| <MagicFab> Oh, and I forgot "chatting on #ubuntu-ca while at work" :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: I got tonyyarusso.wordpress.com, but the fact that you can't install your own plugins is a sticking point, so I bought tonyyarusso.com, and was going to set up Wordpress on my server box. | |
| * MagicFab goes for food | |
| <ryanakca> MagicFab: if your still there, how big is the canonical place in montreal? | |
| <MagicFab> ryanakca, surface or people ? | |
| <ryanakca> oh, both | |
| <tonyyarusso> I hear they're still hiring too ryanakca :) | |
| <ryanakca> big building? small building? | |
| <tonyyarusso> cardboard box? | |
| <ryanakca> tonyyarusso: sure... do my homework and I'll get a job... | |
| <MagicFab> ryanakca, I'd say ~4000 sq. ft. | |
| * ryanakca piles a list of all his chores into tonyyarusso's lap | |
| <ryanakca> there :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> That's it? | |
| <MagicFab> ryanakca, about 8 people so far | |
| <MagicFab> uh, wait, we have new internes and at least 2-3 new hires coming.. | |
| <MagicFab> (interns) | |
| <ryanakca> MagicFab: hmm... doesn't sound too too big... not that I know about feet... just metres and stuff like that | |
| <tonyyarusso> Who's in charge of hiring there? | |
| <ryanakca> ah | |
| <MagicFab> tonyyarusso, I wouldn't know :) There's HR in england and several admin levels | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: 1 ft = 12 inches, 1 inch = 2.54 cm | |
| <ryanakca> or... 12inches = 30 cm :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> Mine's more exact | |
| <MagicFab> at this rate I believe we'll be either moving or renting/getting more space within 3-4 mo. | |
| <ryanakca> lol | |
| <ryanakca> MagicFab: nice | |
| <MagicFab> ryanakca, seriously, check http://www.ubuntu.com/employment within the next few days | |
| <ryanakca> MagicFab: sure... | |
| <MagicFab> and keep those contributions coming :) one of the main criteria when hiring is community involvement | |
| <ryanakca> MagicFab: mind you... I don't think I'm legally old enough to work yet :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> Oh come on, you're what, 14 did you say? | |
| <ryanakca> yeah | |
| <MagicFab> ryanakca, I believe 16 is the legal age in Canada | |
| <ryanakca> MagicFab: yep... 2 more years... | |
| <ryanakca> by then I should be MOTU and hopefully a core-dev :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: How likely are there to be jobs that don't require coding knowledge, just usage? | |
| <MagicFab> tonyyarusso, very likely. However, there's always small coding projects... it's like working in some wharehouse and not being able to lift anything... :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> MagicFab: hehe. Well, I've started to glance furtively at diveintopython. | |
| <MagicFab> tonyyarusso, good idea. Lots of python here :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> Score. | |
| * MagicFab really goes for food now | |
| <MagicFab> if any questions, just type em here, I'll check when I can | |
| <ryanakca> kk | |

| <ryanakca> tonyyarusso: nice | |
| <matjan> canonical has an office in montreal? | |
| <tonyyarusso> they do now matjan | |
| <matjan> since when? | |
| <tonyyarusso> Err, somewhere between a few months and a year? | |
| <matjan> alright... i did not know about that | |
| <matjan> tonyyarusso, do they organize events that you know of? | |
| <tonyyarusso> matjan: I'm not sure. | |
| <ryanakca> tonyyarusso: looking at starting python? | |
| <tonyyarusso> I know MagicFab was involved in something, but I don't know if it was in a professional capacity. | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: kinda | |
| <matjan> ok | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: seems like a good idea, if I have the time (which is the doubtful part) | |
| <ryanakca> tonyyarusso: first programming language? | |
| <tonyyarusso> been meaning to for a long time | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: No. QuickBASIC and the basic-like thing on Texas Instruments graphing calculators. Also, in not really programming but related, HTML. Been a long time since my QB days though (that was before Windows existed, as a hint) | |
| <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: First time I've had any hopes of doing anything remotely serious, yes. | |
| <ryanakca> hmm... | |
| <ryanakca> I'd recommend Learning Python 2e... O'Reilly Books... | |
| <ryanakca> great book if it's the first time you've programmed... or if you haven't really programmed anything in a long time | |
| <tonyyarusso> Yeah, someone else mentioned O'Reilly stuff. | |
| <ryanakca> I got my copy for 30$ from chapters | |
| <tonyyarusso> I need a pretty good stack of stuff from them :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> Hey, I think I have a $10 Chapters gift cert still | |
| <ryanakca> It has just the right balance between the theory... and the code... written by some guy in victoria... and some buy in the states who has been teaching python seminars for the past 10 years iirc | |
| <tonyyarusso> "some guy in victoria" - one of ours? | |
| <ryanakca> gives you exercises and "Why you will care about... bleep" stuff | |
| <ryanakca> dunno... | |
| <ryanakca> just get it on chapters website... it's 50$ in store :( | |
| <tonyyarusso> ha - yep! "Congratulations! You have received a $10.00 Gift Certificate. You can use | |
| <tonyyarusso> your Gift Certificate towards the purchase of books, music, videos/DVDs and | |
| <tonyyarusso> gift items at chapters.indigo.ca. Happy shopping! " | |

| <tonyyarusso> Good thing my cert's for online | |
| <ryanakca> Mark Lutz and David Ascher | |
| <ryanakca> yep :) | |
| <ryanakca> Ascher is the victoria one... | |
| <tonyyarusso> Can you order online and pick up in-store, or do I have to pay shipping? | |
| <ryanakca> umm... pay shipping I think... | |
| <tonyyarusso> Are any of those "also bought" and "also recommend" titles worth it? | |
| <ryanakca> but you can probably pick up in store | |
| <ryanakca> no clue... | |
| <ryanakca> I've /heard/ that Programming Python, 2ed is good | |
| <ryanakca> no clue though | |
| <tonyyarusso> Congratulations! You have received a $10.00 Gift Certificate. You can use | |
| <tonyyarusso> your Gift Certificate towards the purchase of books, music, videos/DVDs and | |
| <ryanakca> shipping was only 5 bucks here I think | |
| <ryanakca> ? | |
| <tonyyarusso> wth... | |
| <tonyyarusso> That's the second time irssi has burped on me | |
| <ryanakca> came to 41.11$ in total, taxes, shipping, etc | |
| <tonyyarusso> Randomly redoes a past | |
| <tonyyarusso> e | |
| <ryanakca> but then, I had an iRewards card.. | |
| <ryanakca> odd | |
| <ryanakca> saved about 13$ from buying it online vs in store :D | |
| <tonyyarusso> You have a card? | |
| <ryanakca> my mom does... | |
| * tonyyarusso wonders if piggy-backing would be too sketchy | |
| <ryanakca> and it probably expired december 31st... | |
| <ryanakca> :) | |
| <ryanakca> I'll check... | |
| <ryanakca> it expired december 17th... sorry :( | |
| <ryanakca> oh well... it's 1.67$ difference with the card... | |
| <tonyyarusso> Congratulations! You have received a $10.00 Gift Certificate. You can use | |
| <tonyyarusso> your Gift Certificate towards the purchase of books, music, videos/DVDs and | |
| <tonyyarusso> Now I'm getting upset | |
| <ryanakca> lol | |
| <ryanakca> feisty? | |
| * tonyyarusso puts something shorter on the clipboard | |
| <tonyyarusso> yeah | |
| <ryanakca> same :) | |
| <ryanakca> except I have conversation... | |
| <ryanakca> bbl, bed :) | |
| <ryanakca> if you have any teacher friends... it's only 10$ for them :) | |
| * ryanakca 's mom is a teacher... that's why she has one :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> I'm in school for teaching, does that count? | |
| <tonyyarusso> I do placements, where I'm sort of a teacher. | |
| <ryanakca> lol | |
| <ryanakca> maybe | |
| <tonyyarusso> My mom's a teacher too, but in the US. | |
| <tonyyarusso> Do they need teacher ID? | |
| <ryanakca> then she probably wouldn't count... | |
| <ryanakca> I believe so | |
| <ryanakca> I dunno... I'd have to ask her | |
| <ryanakca> anywais, bed :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> see ya | |

| <tonyyarusso> Yeah, I saw that. | |
| <tonyyarusso> <3 CBC for being up in the tech/OSS stuff lately | |
| <Madpilot> somewhere on the CBC site there's actually a whole article on what runs cbc.ca & their other server stuff - it's mostly Apache | |
| <Madpilot> over *nix of some sort | |
| <tonyyarusso> seriously? | |
| * tonyyarusso pokes | |
| <tonyyarusso> Not it, but could be interesting: http://cbc.radio-canada.ca/technologyreview/pdf/issue02-Corp_Security.pdf | |
| <tonyyarusso> can't find it | |
| <rexbron> tonyyarusso: hmm, what if CBC had been turned into a botnet during the Olympic games | |
| <rexbron> spam, ON THE TV! | |
| <tonyyarusso> Yep. | |
| <tonyyarusso> And they could have blamed it all on Windows. | |
| <johanbr> A friend of mine is a sysadmin for CBC IT. If I asked him if he keeps his Windows installation patched, I think he'd stop talking to me. :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> haha | |
| <tonyyarusso> Summary of 99% of the people you will ever meet in college says: | |
| <tonyyarusso> THE CAVE DWELLER | |
| <tonyyarusso> His blinds are never open. His light's never on. He lives by the light of his computer. Whenever he goes out, which is very, very rare, he squints and looks frightened, often power walking to class. He uses the internet for his lectures, and never sleeps when you do, so you can't hang out with your friends/girlfriend at your place. He's not nice, but he's not mean. He's clean, but his room's a mess. There's Mountain Dew cans everywhere. | |

| <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: ping | |
| <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, pong | |
| <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: Did you or your brother have any thoughts re: Canadian Planet, per mention in ML post by me, oh, two days ago-ish? | |
| <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, +1 from me, fwiw | |
| <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: has there been any gathering of interest opinions since our meeting? | |
| <tonyyarusso> when will our next mtg be, btw? | |
| <Madpilot> no, but we're about due for another meeting, aren't we? | |
| <tonyyarusso> I'd be happy to set it up once we get the new server going. | |
| <tonyyarusso> Yeah, we are. | |
| <tonyyarusso> do we have a timeline for Canonical hosting? | |
| <Madpilot> no idea | |
| <tonyyarusso> k | |
| <tonyyarusso> Ooooh Burgundavia, read ^^ when you get a chance :) | |
| <Madpilot> of course, setting up Planet Ubuntu Canada will mean that I start to blog, something I've long sworn I'll never do... | |
| <tonyyarusso> Peer pressure is good for you. | |
| <tonyyarusso> When you have peers as cool as us anyway ;) | |
| <tonyyarusso> Shall we set up a nice madpilot.wordpress.com? | |
| <Madpilot> don't you dare | |
| <tonyyarusso> aw come on | |
| <tonyyarusso> you know you wanna | |
| <tonyyarusso> If you did blog, what would you talk about? | |
| <tonyyarusso> Brainstorm! | |
| <Madpilot> closest I've gotten to blogging has been the news posts on ubuntu.ca - so stuff like that, and random bumpf | |
| <tonyyarusso> bumpf could be interesting | |
| <tonyyarusso> Well, that works. | |
| <tonyyarusso> A lot of blogs are really random. | |
| <tonyyarusso> (ie, mine) | |
| <tonyyarusso> (which hasn't been updated in a month, for various reasons) | |
| <tonyyarusso> Did you like the beeb headline "Bush asks for 'a chance' on Iraq"? hehe | |
| <tonyyarusso> babble about flying, maybe | |
| <Madpilot> complain about the winter weather being awful for flying, you mean ;) | |
| <tonyyarusso> That too | |
| <tonyyarusso> I bitched about the weather a bit when it was raining for the last four months before we finally got winter | |
| <tonyyarusso> Anyway, just pretend you're in a room by yourself, trying to review your thoughts, and a little bit tipsy so you say them out loud, and then just type. That's blogging. :) | |
| <Madpilot> yay, another excuse to drink. Just what I need. :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> Well, or you could just use the time you already drink, but either way! | |
| <tonyyarusso> I don't know - I'm a bit out of place being a non-drinker in this Canadian Team, eh? | |
| <Madpilot> appears so | |
| <tonyyarusso> oh well | |
| <tonyyarusso> I just need to culture y'all - I can do wine better than beer | |
| <Madpilot> nothing wrong with wine, with a sit-down dinner. Drink at other times calls for tipple other than wine. | |
| <tonyyarusso> I can see that, but mine are always with dinner :) | |
| <tonyyarusso> bah, I should go to bed | |

| <Burgwork> except sugarcrm is not really open source | |
| <lophyte> heya Burgwork | |
| <Burgwork> hey lophyte | |
| <lophyte> how's it going? | |
| <Burgwork> not bad | |
| <Burgwork> slow at work todya | |
| <MagicFab> Burgwork, it is open source... however it is not technically *free* | |
| <Burgwork> no, it is not open source | |
| <Burgwork> its license is not OSI approved | |
| <Burgwork> http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=3430 | |
| <MagicFab> Have you read why ? | |
| <MagicFab> Because they insist on every SugarCRM site having a link to sugarcrm.com | |
| <Burgwork> yes, quite an offensive provision | |
| <Burgwork> and the whole "lets create a new license" thing | |
| <MagicFab> Yeah, I don't like that either -> deriving from MPL, etc. | |
| <Burgwork> basically they want to get mindshre | |
| <Burgwork> it also makes derivs midly difficult | |
| <MagicFab> Burgwork, at some point they may "get it" | |
| <Burgwork> well, I think they are afraid of forking | |
| <Burgwork> which is legit, but forking usually happens when they screw the pooch | |
| <Burgwork> I suspect it was in response to what happened to miro with mambo | |
| <Burgwork> because miro is basically now dead in the water | |
| <MagicFab> I think it's interesting there is any market at all for commercial packaging | |
| <Burgwork> not really | |
| <Burgwork> not really that surprising, that is | |

| <MagicFab> sorry about that (registration) but it seems it'll take a few hours before it's up on ubuntu.com | |
| <ejer> no biggie | |
| <ejer> but googling for ubuntu jobs montreal brings up ubuntu china only | |
| <somerville32> lol | |
| <MagicFab> just "all jobs" and "ubuntu" | |
| <MagicFab> china ? :) | |
| <ejer> man google loves my site | |
| <ejer> I don't know why | |
| <somerville32> MagicFab, You said you had a special job for me. | |
| <ejer> but almost any ubuntu search brings it up on front page | |
| <lophyte> Burgwork: any idea when you'll have a response re: my email? are you still thinking about it? | |
| <MagicFab> somerville32, I hope I was not drunk when I said that :) | |
| <MagicFab> somerville32, the other day you were asking for some support for Xubuntu in Launchpad. What was it exactly ? | |
| <somerville32> I was asking the launchpad team to add Xubuntu to their release mirror watcher thinger | |
| <somerville32> Why? | |
| <MagicFab> Anyone going to Ubucon ? http://yalesf.org/pipermail/theubucon/2007-January/000040.html | |
| <MagicFab> somerville32, I was discussing official support with someone and I couldn't find any official reason why Xubuntu wasn't officially supported ? | |
| <MagicFab> after all Xubuntu is a (TM) of Canonical, it's linked on the main page, has seeds, has annoucements specific to it... | |
| <somerville32> It isn't officially supported because of lack of demand from customers. | |
| <Burgwork> lophyte: I am thinking further | |
| <Burgwork> MagicFab: not moved into main yet | |
| <Burgwork> as of 6.06 | |
| <lophyte> Burgwork: alrighty. | |
| <MagicFab> Burgwork, it's being uploaded as we speak | |
| <MagicFab> :) | |
| <Burgwork> cool | |
| <tonyyarusso> Burgwork: (See many hours ago) Do we have a timeline for moving hosting to Canonical servers? | |
| <Burgwork> no idea | |
| <Burgwork> whenever that support request is filed | |
| <Burgwork> filled, rather | |
| <tonyyarusso> 'k | |
| <somerville32> What isn't moved into main yet? | |
| <Burgwork> xfce wasn't moved into main for 6.06, afaicr | |
| <somerville32> Ugh... I'm pretty sure it was. | |
| <Burgwork> no, you are right |
