| <Vorian> hi Seekker! | |
| <Seekker> how's it going? | |
| <Vorian> good | |
| <Vorian> Just waiting for our linux education meeting :) | |
| <Seekker> cool | |
| <Seekker> I'm going to sit in on that one too, tonight | |
| <Vorian> w00t! | |
| <Seekker> based on the mailing-list responses, we're due to have quite a few show up | |
| <Vorian> we shall see ;-) | |
| <Seekker> yep | |
| <Vorian> Seekker, how have you been lately? | |
| <Seekker> pretty good ... have set up a Kubuntu machine for my biz partner ... all we have to do is move is mail over | |
| <Seekker> so when he's ready, I'll do that | |
| <Seekker> then today, I updated my Kubuntu from the 'proposed' repo | |
| <Vorian> ah, not so much into kde myself :) | |
| <Seekker> hehe, just my personal preference | |
| <Seekker> eventually, I figure I'll need to learn gnome, too, if I'm going to promote all flavors of ubuntu to my customers | |
| <Vorian> hehe | |
| * Seekker grins | |
| <Vorian> so say we all | |

| <markvandenborre> and it seems I'm not the only one | |
| <markvandenborre> going by the interest my first noise about that created | |
| <jono> markvandenborre: I think that would be great too, but you will need to speak to the distro team about that | |
| <markvandenborre> who would be the person most appropriate to talk to? | |
| <markvandenborre> voila | |
| <Soltek> hi .) | |

| <effie_jayx> I just wanted a couple to raffle | |
| <jenda> effie_jayx: It'd be nice if you could help cover the price, or at least the shipping, though ;) | |
| <effie_jayx> ok | |

| <effie_jayx> cuz my coutnry is very difficult with wiring money and such... | |
| <effie_jayx> but we do have western union | |
| <jenda> no paypal? | |
| <effie_jayx> no :( | |
| <jenda> credit cards? | |
| <jenda> meh, whatever - just use them well ;) send me your address. | |
| <elkbuntu> i'll cover him if you cant work a way | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, credit cards need to have a special permit for accessing dollars :S | |
| <effie_jayx> elkbuntu, :D | |
| <jenda> elkbuntu: we can split him in half ;) | |
| <effie_jayx> ok... that sounded like execution jenda jejeje | |
| <jenda> hehe | |
| <elkbuntu> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> just checking if i have any credit in my paypal atm | |
| <elkbuntu> ha. $0.99 USD | |
| <elkbuntu> you might need to wait a few days jenda | |
| <effie_jayx> elkbuntu, hehe | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, I could ship in a bit... but I only have wester union | |
| <effie_jayx> s/wester/western | |
| <jenda> effie_jayx: no problem | |
| <jenda> just send me an address, consider it a donation | |
| <jenda> you can later consider it a donation from elkbuntu if she coughs up ;) | |
| * jenda runs | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, hehehehehhe | |
| <elkbuntu> jenda, pray tell.. did you ever look into doing 1" buttons? | |
| * elkbuntu tickles jenda | |
| <jenda> elkbuntu: I asked my printer guy, and he said he'll tell me later... | |
| <jenda> then I left for India... | |
| <elkbuntu> hehe | |
| <jenda> and I don't remember anything else :) | |
| <elkbuntu> well they go for ~$1 per piece here, so one would imagine they'd be relatively inexpensive over your way | |
| *** yharrow is now known as yharrow_afk | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, i'm emailing you my address and I will only be needing an estimated cost for you ... so that I can calculate my bit ;) | |
| <jenda> elkbuntu: should be... | |
| <jenda> effie_jayx: the regular price is $1 per poster and $5 shipping | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, ok make that 20 posters... | |
| <effie_jayx> a total of $25 ... is that ok? | |
| <jenda> effie_jayx: perfectly ok | |
| <jenda> sorry, ran off | |
| <effie_jayx> no p | |
| <effie_jayx> i'll be sending 10 $ then... let me check what the people at western union charge per transfer | |
| <effie_jayx> and we will wait for elkbuntu to get things done ;) | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda and elkbuntu does that make sense? | |
| <jenda> no idea | |
| <jenda> what's the deal? :) | |
| <effie_jayx> no idea on ?? :S | |
| <jenda> what the deal is - I didn't understand :) | |
| <effie_jayx> ok | |
| <jenda> you send $10 I send 20 posters? | |
| <jenda> no problem here. | |
| <jenda> but you'll be getting the best deal anyone ever got ;) | |
| <effie_jayx> cuase elkbuntu said she could help out :S | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, oh I didn't want to soud like a cheapskate ... :S (but I did anyway) | |
| <effie_jayx> let me get the info from the western union people and I'll ping ya again | |
| <effie_jayx> I'll cover the 25 $ ;) | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, misunderstanding there :S | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, does that make sense now :D ? | |
| <elkbuntu> he's probably run off again :Þ | |
| <jenda> effie_jayx: I didn't say $10 wasn't ok | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda, but sounds to abusive on my behalf.. :S | |
| <jenda> btw, you can creditcard-paypal in any currency | |
| <jenda> not at all | |
| <effie_jayx> btw, my country doesn't work with paypal :S | |
| <jenda> I was willing to send 10 for free - no reason not to send 20 for $10 | |
| <jenda> that shouldn't matter, I think | |
| <jenda> credit card to paypal should work... | |
| <jenda> but maybe not. | |
| <effie_jayx> jenda,let me explain... There are limitations towards using dollars through credit cards in my country | |
| <jenda> You can do so in any currency | |
| <jenda> I'll have to convert to CZK anyway | |
| <jenda> BTW, I'm going to do some vacuuming | |
| <jenda> ...which always blows a fuse... | |
| <jenda> ...so if I suddenly die... | |
| <jenda> ...that's why ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, i will cover what jenda wont. dont worry about it | |
| <effie_jayx> elkbuntu and jenda ... I can pay for it... and I feel I should help a bit.. please take my help :S | |
| <elkbuntu> effie_jayx, maybe jenda will trade you for a shirt? he likes collecting them :Þ | |
| <effie_jayx> not a bad idea | |
| <elkbuntu> and i'll cover the other $10, and you post me my shirt? | |
| <jenda> Umm, yup... it blew a fuse. What'd I miss? :) | |
| <elkbuntu> <effie_jayx> elkbuntu and jenda ...

| *** pochu_ is now known as pochu | |
| <JanC> effie_jayx: you're in Venezuela right? maybe you could send jenda money in euros or another currency if the government likes that better? :) | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, it is the same policy :S... but we reached agreement :D | |
| <JanC> hm, that sort of currency-policy doesn't sound like fun :-/ | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, we've been on it for 4 years now | |
| <effie_jayx> and imagine trying t buy soemthing on the net | |
| <effie_jayx> we have 2000 dollars we can use a year | |
| <JanC> you buy so much online? :) | |
| <effie_jayx> not really | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, imagine that stuff like ebay here... handles bank deposits | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, after this I will look for alternatives though... | |
| <JanC> how is the Venezuelan(sp?) currency doing? | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, not good... | |
| <JanC> high inflation? | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, they are thinking of chaning the Bolivar... to the Bolivar Fuerte | |
| <effie_jayx> and drop three zeros | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, indeed | |
| <JanC> hm, so paying in Bolivar is no option too | |
| <effie_jayx> $1 = 2.150 at official rate... now that you get through government... if you buy in the black market it reacher 3500 | |
| <effie_jayx> and to give you an Idea ... my hourly rate at work is 9.000 ... so pretty much 3 dollars | |
| <JanC> oh well, after the World War there were billion Mark banknotes in Germany that were just good enough to buy a bread with, they had to cut more than 3 zeros... ;-) | |
| <JanC> (I mean: it can get even worse) | |
| <JanC> of course the problem with inflation is that it gets worse if people buy too much in other (stronger) currencies | |
| <JanC> but like you say, blocking this just creates a larger black market, and might actually make things worse... | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, it is ridiculous ... and every little thing triggers the black market price to twice the price | |
| <JanC> yeah, that's what I mean by "making things worse" | |
| <JanC> they have the same problem in Cuba, Colombia, etc. | |
| <JanC> easiest workaround is to know someone who travels from/to Venezuela regularly | |
| <effie_jayx> JanC, I will find a way :D... where there is a will.. | |
| <JanC> yeah, although it would be nice to find a more general way to make such things easier for people living in countries with such policies :) | |
| <effie_jayx> a question I have a girl asking if there is a way to find a ubuntu dvd for download.. is there such thing ? | |
| <effie_jayx> I know you can BUY one but is there a dvd download... | |
| *** yharrow_afk is now known as yharrow | |
| <pochu> effie_jayx: 6.10 dvd images, is that what you want? | |
| <effie_jayx> pochu, yes | |
| <pochu> effie_jayx: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/6.10/release/ | |
| <effie_jayx> pochu, hanks it'sfor a girl in #ubuntu-es | |
| <pochu> effie_jayx: np ;) |
