| <Burgwork> lophyte: you can show up with banners, however | |
| <tonyyarusso> Burgwork: re: LP support request "wrong button" - I didn't see a right button! There was "answer" and "close" - I was greatly confused. | |
| <tonyyarusso> What's the right way to do that? | |
| <Burgwork> no idea | |
| <Burgwork> maybe you have to close it | |
| <tonyyarusso> hmm | |

| <lophyte> too bad the media-exclusive event was today | |
| <Burgwork> lophyte: if you bring the 10-ft tux, that would rock | |
| <lophyte> hehe, indeed | |
| <lophyte> though we need a power inverter | |
| <Burgwork> are you employed yet? | |
| <lophyte> nope :\ | |
| <lophyte> I haven't really been looking.. though I'm changing that | |
| <Burgwork> what are you looking for? | |
| <lophyte> anything tech-related at this point | |
| <lophyte> I'd prefer working with Linux but will work with Windows if I have to | |
| <Burgwork> do you have a blog? | |
| <Burgwork> you are an Ubuntu member, no? | |
| *** rnanaimo_away is now known as rnanaimo | |
| <lophyte> kinda yes, and yes | |
| <lophyte> I have a blog I haven't updated in a while, and I just whipped up a new design for a new one | |
| <Burgwork> get it on planet and then post looking for a job | |
| <lophyte> oh yeah? | |
| <lophyte> that's not a bad idea | |
| <lophyte> I never thought of that.. thanks | |
| <Burgwork> no worries | |
| <Burgwork> got to think of my people :) | |
| <Burgwork> greetings wheatie | |
| <wheatie> good evening Burgwork | |
| <wheatie> How's it going? | |
| <lophyte> hiya wheatie | |
| <wheatie> \o_ | |
| <Burgwork> not bad | |
| <Burgwork> trying to get lophyte here a job | |
| <Burgwork> so he can't being my Toronto man | |
| <Burgwork> until I retire and make him in charge of all of Canada :) | |
| <wheatie> sounds like a rather important position :-) | |
| <lophyte> lol | |
| <lophyte> what'd you say, Burgwork? "he can't being"... can't figure out what you meant | |
| <Burgwork> can't be | |
| <lophyte> ahh | |
| <Burgwork> something about it being 4:30pm on a monday | |
| <lophyte> what's wrong with me being your Toronto man? :P | |
| <wheatie> Can i be your "Regina man"? :P | |
| <lophyte> ooo.. a Regina chapter would rock. | |
| <Burgwork> given you are the only regina person that has shown up, afaik | |
| <Burgwork> yes | |
| <lophyte> someone was talking about starting a Winnipeg chapter but I haven't heard about that for a while.. | |
| <wheatie> We have a rather large LUG here actually | |
| <wheatie> ~600 members | |
| <Burgwork> wow | |
| <Burgwork> you are about 20x the size of the Victoria one | |
| <wheatie> maybe it's 500, the website is www.losurs.org if your interested in checking it out | |
| <rnanaimo> haha..what a great lug name | |
| * wheatie nods | |
| <Burgwork> do you have a lot of non-technical users? | |
| <Burgwork> query rnanaimo | |
| <rnanaimo> I'm a recent Vancouver Islander from Saskabush actually | |
| <Burgwork> are you actually nanaimo? | |
| <rnanaimo> I lived in Moose Jaw before moving to the island | |
| <wheatie> it's a good mix of it professionals and new to linux users | |
| <lophyte> TLUG is very high-level | |
| <rnanaimo> Burgwork: yes I am | |
| <wheatie> 647 members i guess | |
| <Burgwork> victoria is mostly hard core linux users | |
| <lophyte> its made up of mostly former unix sysadmins | |
| <Burgwork> about 20+ who show up regularly | |
| <lophyte> its very technical | |
| <lophyte> a new user at TLUG would be scared away :) | |
| <lophyte> then there's NewTLUG which is supposedly for new users... but is extremely inaccessible | |
| <lophyte> I've never been | |
| <wheatie> Very cool, i'll have to google for the website. | |
| <lophyte> i can't think of it off the top of my head | |
| <lophyte> Burgwork: what's wrong with me being your Toronto man? | |
| <Burgwork> nothing | |
| <Burgwork> I said you were | |
| <Burgwork> I just need to have a job so you don't disappear off the map from homelessness | |
| <lophyte> ahh | |
| <lophyte> thought you meant something else | |
| <Burgwork> nope | |
| <lophyte> speaking of planet... | |
| <lophyte> I need to add an RSS output to my blog | |
| <rnanaimo> Burgwork: Do you work for Userful? I may be thinking of someone else. | |
| <tonyyarusso> You don't have one? What's your blog run lophyte ? | |
| <tonyyarusso> (You could always make your RSS feed by hand - that's fun...not) | |
| <Burgwork> rnanaimo: yep, I work for Userful | |
| <Burgwork> what prompted the thought? | |
| <rnanaimo> ah ok, I use your product at the local library. Pretty slick. | |
| <Burgwork> ah | |
| <Burgwork> every library on Vancouver Island uses our stuff | |
| <tonyyarusso> What's the product? | |
| <Burgwork> DiscoverStation | |
| <lophyte> a custom blog system written with Django | |
| <Burgwork> wheatie: you ever make it to Moose Jaw? | |
| <tonyyarusso> ah | |
| <lophyte> http://vps.dave-sullivan.com/ | |
| <wheatie> I'm out there from time to time for work, but not frequently | |
| <Burgwork> ah | |
| <Burgwork> I just sold to Moose Jaw Public Library | |
| <lophyte> waiting for DNS to update before www. works | |
| <johanbr> Not sure about LUGs here in Halifax, but the office of the Chebucto Freenet is in our building at work. I should go take a look some time. | |
| <wheatie> Oh yeah? Do you mind if i ask what you sell? | |
| <rnanaimo> Burgwork: I was reading about Ubuntu-ca earlier today and thought I recognized your nick. | |
| <Burgwork> ah | |
| <Burgwork> where were you reading? | |
| * Burgwork is interesting about who was writing about us | |
| <rnanaimo> On the launchpad site. | |
| <rnanaimo> as well as the Ubuntu forums | |
| <Burgwork> Burgundavia is my main nick | |
| <rnanaimo> ah that's what I was probably thinking about. Sort of close. haha | |
| <Burgwork> this nick basically explains where i am, so if I vanish suddenly, people understasnd | |
| <rnanaimo> The upgrade is good for Moose Jaw. There old dynix (i think) really isn't very good. | |
| <rnanaimo> right | |
| <Burgwork> ah, that is somebody different | |
| <Burgwork> but I am talking with them about Koha (even if we don't supply it) | |
| <Burgwork> there is talk of a province wide ILS | |
| <Burgwork> got any contacts with the library industry, rnanaimo? | |
| <rnanaimo> Nope, I just use libraries often. | |
| <Burgwork> what do you do? | |
| <rnanaimo> I'm an apprentice carpenter. I mean I just borrow books a lot. | |
| <johanbr> Burgwork: " this nick basically explains where i am, so if I vanish suddenly, people understasnd" Depending on how you interpret that remark, it either sounds sensible or extremely paranoid. :) | |
| <Burgwork> right | |
| <Burgwork> all right, I am off | |
| <Burgwork> see all of you tomorrow | |
| <rnanaimo> see you later :) | |
