<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, yes 
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, i just took a job that uses MS SQL daily 
<androidbruce> so i was curious if you could shed some light
<seattlegaucho> not really ... we have a SQL server here ... but we stay away from it like the plague
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, are queries similar?
<seattlegaucho> SQL is mostly standard, so unless you get into stored procedures and stuff they should be similr
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, ok so anywhere you can point me to learn queries?
<androidbruce> how to "grep" a database
<seattlegaucho> that's a toughie
<seattlegaucho> any introductory SQL book should work ... however ...
<seattlegaucho> you need to learn how to check the 'database' and 'table' definitions, which is specific to SQL server
<seattlegaucho> in MySQL it would be "SHOW DATABASES", "SHOW TABLES" and "SHOW CREATE TABLES" ... or there is another one: DESCRIBE ...
<seattlegaucho> look for the equivalents on SQL Server
<seattlegaucho> that will give you a basic understanding of the structure and from then on you can use SELECT to start making sense of the data
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, i see ok 
<androidbruce> with SQL Server, i can see everything graphically 
<androidbruce> so i've been failing, but using select * ........."User".......... etc etc 
<seattlegaucho> GUI is OK ... although it helps to understand what's going on underneath
<seattlegaucho> ... need to go home ... I'll catch up w/ you tomorrow
 * seattlegaucho waves to the crowds
 * seattlegaucho had to crack open the only sql server screen active at his company 
 * seattlegaucho blames androidbruce for invoking the demons
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-02
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, haha that's the way it goes eh 
<seattlegaucho> :D
<seattlegaucho> had a sh***y day today
<seattlegaucho> time to go home and crack open a beer
<valorie> {{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}} and an extra beer to ya, seattlegaucho
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, i want a beer too man 
<androidbruce> im too full right now 
<androidbruce> but later 
<androidbruce> it's beer thirty 
<seattlegaucho> :)
<androidbruce> valorie, anything planned for 11.10 release?
<seattlegaucho> she was saying a couple of days ago that nottin' so far
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, gotcha 
<androidbruce> well we should do something 
<androidbruce> i missed the last one 
<seattlegaucho> can we find a place where we can all get together? aka ... as in a meetup?
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, yeah definitely 
<seattlegaucho> pizza + beer + hacking ... what can go wrong
<androidbruce> id have a party/bonfire at my place if we wanted 
<valorie> where are you, androidbruce?
<androidbruce> we can use my place to hack,eat,and burn stuff ;)
<androidbruce> Puyallup now 
<androidbruce> new place big back yeard 
<valorie> I would love to have a party somewhere
<androidbruce> yard**
<androidbruce> party here, pass out w/e 
<valorie> cool -- that's easy for me
<seattlegaucho> BTW, I upgraded my old windows phone to a mytouch 4G
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, ha nice dude 
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, put cm7 on it 
<seattlegaucho> ... love to use it as my personal wifi hotspot
<valorie> not sure about the folks up north
<androidbruce> yeah 
<valorie> but I just made contact with a guy in Tacoma via linkedin
<androidbruce> gotcha 
<seattlegaucho> pls don't make it too far south
<androidbruce> its' 11/10 or 10/11?
<androidbruce> i'm close to Tacoma seattlegaucho 
<seattlegaucho> south ctr mall is not that bad depending where you are in Tacoma
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, that's Tukwila 
<androidbruce> tacoma is even farther south 
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, http://g.co/maps/whaz
<seattlegaucho> I know that much ... but I work close to Pike Pl market and live in Bellevue ... Tukwilla is pretty far away
<seattlegaucho> especially w/ traffic after work
<seattlegaucho> Red Robin ... if I remember correctly ... it's in the south part of the mall
<seattlegaucho> ... but I can imagine it could be a pain if you're in the south part of Tacoma
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, yeah true 
<androidbruce> well we can have a meetup 
<androidbruce> and a party in puyallup 
<androidbruce> or just one, w/e 
<androidbruce> i no longer work on the eastside
<androidbruce> seattlegaucho, are you a dba?
<seattlegaucho> mysql dba
 * seattlegaucho was looking for RR further South
<androidbruce> RR? 
<seattlegaucho> red robin :)
<androidbruce> there's one in tacoma 
<androidbruce> and federal way 
<androidbruce> federal way is in between tacoma and tukwila
<seattlegaucho> the one I could go the furthest on a week day is in kent ... unless the federal way and tacoma ones are close to I-5
<androidbruce> they're close to I-5
<androidbruce> last time we met in Burien, that was sort of in between 
<valorie> red robin is so effing noisy
<valorie> allll the time
<androidbruce> yeah 
<seattlegaucho> the Federal Way is right off I-5 ... I can do that one
<androidbruce> everyplace is 
<androidbruce> we can't HACK at a red robin either 
<valorie> I guess
<seattlegaucho> right no wifi
<valorie> library is quiet, but no beer
<seattlegaucho> ... and hacking can be noisy w/ all the chatter
<androidbruce> yeah library isn't open late either right? 
<valorie> some are open till 10
<valorie> it depends
<androidbruce> hmm 
<seattlegaucho> and phone hotspot would kill my bill
<androidbruce> any places we can reserve or rent? 
<androidbruce> like vfw types?
<valorie> actually, there is a library in southcenter
<valorie> let me see if they allow food
<valorie> because food and drink would be ok, even without beer, right?
<androidbruce> yeah 
<androidbruce> better than nowhere 
<seattlegaucho> some King County libraries have 'event rooms'
<valorie> food, drink, wifi, and our own room
<androidbruce> yeah it will be alcohol free, but that's not always bad 
<androidbruce> we could go to a "bar" afterwards if we wanted 
<valorie> open till 9
<androidbruce> what day did we want to do?
<seattlegaucho> 6:30 to 8:30 to leave room and not rush it?
<seattlegaucho> does the release have a set date?
<androidbruce> which day again?
<androidbruce> im not sure 
<androidbruce> was it in october or nov?
<valorie> mmm, southcenter has no room
<valorie> valley view does, though
<seattlegaucho> it would have to be the weeks of the 17th or 24th ... release date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule
<seattlegaucho> is a Thu
<valorie> 13 Oct. is the day
<seattlegaucho> which is Thu
<androidbruce> ohh shoot i need to check my schedule i have a concert in october 
<seattlegaucho> ... and I wouldn't do it on a Fri or the actual release day
<seattlegaucho> ... or weekend
<androidbruce> not on a weekend?
<androidbruce> oct 12th is the concert
<androidbruce> so im goooood
<valorie> it's available on the 13th
<androidbruce> valorie, if you reserve and we decide something else, no big deal eh?
<valorie> exactly, I'
<valorie> ll reserve it now
<androidbruce> ok word 
<seattlegaucho> cool!
<androidbruce> valley?
<seattlegaucho> gotta go ... pls post it to the email list and loco wiki
 * seattlegaucho runs to get his bus
<valorie> ok, scheduled
<androidbruce> coolio 
<androidbruce> do you know if they have wifi?
<valorie> yes, that's standard
<androidbruce> ok cool 
<valorie> it rather sucks sometimes
<valorie> but we'll deal
<androidbruce> i haven't spent anytime in a library 
<androidbruce> we can rip some hardwire spots 
<valorie> for shame
<valorie> lol
<bkerensa> man Canonical was fast approving the puppetconf conf pack I requested 
<bkerensa> =o I requested last night after 7pm and they shipped this morning
<valorie> wow
<valorie> that's awesome
<bkerensa> yeah
<bkerensa> Now we will have some media to give out
<valorie> I hope thefinn catches whatever you have, and passes it along
<valorie> we need some more juice up here
<valorie> we do have a release party planned: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-washington/1260/detail/
<bkerensa> sweet
<bkerensa> WA/OR both need to get approved
<bkerensa> I'm aiming for right after release party to apply for loco approval and my own membership
<bkerensa> nobody is really giving me much guidance on when to apply? I have been contributing for over a year... The only perk to me is the @ubuntu.com e-mail alias for loco e-mails
<valorie> well, start your wiki page
<valorie> get some cool stuff on it, including recommendations
<valorie> then just schedule yourself in one of the board meetings
<valorie> where ever you are most active
<valorie> bugsquad can do it I think
<bkerensa> I did :) You have me a testomonial and finn did and markdude said he was going to but I think he got sidetracked :P
<valorie> American board can do it
<bkerensa> Thats the problem.... I'm spread out between IRC/Bugs/Forums and doing our LoCo
<bkerensa> :D
<bkerensa> so I figured Americas
<valorie> you can even do it with IRC, Forum council
<valorie> or
<valorie> not sure bugs has a council, 
<valorie> come to think of it
<valorie> if you aren't an IRC op, I wouldn't ask them
<bkerensa> yeah
<valorie> if you have lots of forum answers, that will work
<valorie> or the American board
<bkerensa> Yeah I will probably do Americas
<valorie> basically, you just add yourself to the wiki page for the next meeting
<valorie> and show up
<valorie> I did it through the Kubuntu Council
<valorie> so I'm both a Kubuntu Member and ubuntu Member
<valorie> :-)
<valorie> sec
<valorie> there really isn't much guidance besides your own feelings that you want it now
<valorie> and are planning to be around for awhile
<bkerensa> yeah
<bkerensa> What kind of stuff do they ask? Whats the meeting like
<valorie> look up some meeting logs
<valorie> they basically look at what's on your page and ask you about what's there
<valorie> oh, the more pictures, the better
 * valorie had none
<valorie> pictures of events and such that you organized
<valorie> not just random bling, of course
<valorie> same for team approval
<bkerensa> valorie: So this might not be a winning photo for approval? http://bit.ly/n3hpPj
 * bkerensa smirks
<bkerensa> that was just for show I wasn't really doing that :P
<valorie> lol
<bkerensa> I actually barely drink a couple sips and ended up leaving the MediaTemple party to talk with Gareth Greenway (August cover of LJ)
<bkerensa> then went home and slept :P
 * valorie didn't party much this year
<valorie> not at OSCON, not in Berlin
<valorie> had a great time anyway
<bkerensa> wow.... Someone is maybe coming from Seattle to our global jam
<valorie> awesome!
<valorie> I wish I could come
<valorie> any other weekend.....
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-03
<peanutb> guten morgan
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-04
 * valorie is in the Kubuntu Doc Jam right now
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-05
<bkerensa> valorie: http://youtu.be/acLkfmecTTs <-- Video of our Jam
<peanutb> bkerensa_: amazon eh?
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-09
<bkerensa> valorie: How do I get Kubuntu CD's and stickers to have at the PuppetConf Ubuntu Booth?
<valorie> you might ask in #kubunu-devel
<valorie> I've not ever been able to get them, but they might be available somewhere
<valorie> hey, I wanted to ask you for a favor -- how do I get in touch with O'Reilly to beg for some prizes?
<valorie> we are looking for stuff for our Ada Lovelace competition for UW
<valorie> and I foolishly agreed to get it
<valorie> you got stuff from them, right?
<bkerensa> montgomeryrobert@example.net 
<bkerensa> also let me find her assistants e-mail
<bkerensa> valorie: I would e-mail montgomeryrobert@example.net and CC: montgomeryrobert@example.net
<bkerensa> just make a list
<bkerensa> and request them and they should send them too you
<valorie> oooo, I guess I'll have to look at the catalog
<valorie> although I'd rather get coupons I think
<valorie> so the women can choose what they like
<valorie> thank you
<bkerensa> oh in that case
<bkerensa> valorie: E-mail and ask for their ebook coupons
<valorie> hmmm
<valorie> that's the choice?
<valorie> specific books or ebooks?
<valorie> because those coupons float around everywhere
<valorie> I guess I'll provide some links to them and let them decide what's best
<bkerensa> valorie: Hmm maybe they might offer gift certificates? I would just e-mail and see what they can offer ( I have one of their cellphone numbers somewhere I will look for it tomorrow
<valorie> email is good
<valorie> we have a month
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-14

<bkerensa> valorie: Did you hear about Windows 8 and the UEFI boot thing?
<valorie> oh god yes
<bkerensa> could cause issues for Linux
<valorie> it WILL cause issues
<bkerensa> if OEM's are forced to make UEFI hardware then Linux is kinda hit
<valorie> not only for us
<valorie> but for Windows users too
<bkerensa> why?
<valorie> they won't be able to replace a video card!
<bkerensa> I thought it will only effect Linux
<valorie> etc.
<valorie> no
<bkerensa> oh
<bkerensa> yeah but its a win for OEM's and Microsoft
<valorie> MS will be fine
<bkerensa> OEM's get more hardware sales
<valorie> only untill people need to replace some hardware
<bkerensa> and MS gets to slowdown linux growth by making hardware options limited
<valorie> then they are um..... effed
<bkerensa> yeah
<valorie> OEMs will be hurt by the backlash too
<bkerensa> imho when I get wind of OEM's implementing this I will buy the newest non UEFI laptop I can and hope it lasts a long time
<bkerensa> yeah
<valorie> can you imagine buying a box where you could NOT get root?
<valorie> ever?
<bkerensa> idk they will still have to do something because even the server market would be effected
<bkerensa> and I dont see Google moving to Windows :P
<bkerensa> or any thousand other companies
<valorie> dunno what's going to happen
<valorie> but it looks like I won't be paying the windows tax again
<bkerensa> lol :P
<bkerensa> anyways looks like I get to design some more shirts for Ocelot release
<bkerensa> Eucalyptus has agreed to sponsor a box of shirts
<bkerensa> anyways valorie puppetconf was intense
<bkerensa> people were major trolling Canonical
<bkerensa> and even one breakout session Canonical held got intense for a bit some guy asked some serious questions and Canonical's people kinda struggled
<valorie> well, Mark has gone out on a few major limbs
<valorie> I sort of don't pay attention to a lot of it because I use Kubuntu
<valorie> don't deal with Unity and/or Gnome3
<valorie> except on the community level
<bkerensa> yeah :)
<valorie> bottom line: it's his money
<valorie> we either go along or we don't
<valorie> so far, so good for me
<bkerensa> yeah
<valorie> but I'm active in KDE as well as Kubuntu and my Loco
<bkerensa> I think though when Community Council members are blogging negatively about the state of things and such that its not so good
<bkerensa> :P
<valorie> if Kubuntu stops being a fun community and Kub. stops being the best KDE distro
<valorie> I'll find a better place to be
<bkerensa> there is some definate weird things... A Canonical employee in London who has contributed for 5 years was denied membership
<bkerensa> =/
<valorie> Mark's not in my corner, and i'm not in his
<bkerensa> :D
<bkerensa> Tux is in my corner
<bkerensa> :P
<valorie> right
<valorie> I believe in freedom
<bkerensa> yep
<valorie> and responsibility -- so I'm giving back
<bkerensa> Right now the Ubuntu community is as close to that as it gets for me
<bkerensa> :D
<bkerensa> I just think certain things could be improved but honestly do not feel there is much of a way for members or contributors to have a stake in the decision process
<valorie> well, come to UDS
<valorie> get an a board
<valorie> yes, we do have some influence
<valorie> but when Mark decides something, and fights it out with people, and makes the final decision
<valorie> that's is
<valorie> it's his money
<bkerensa> Yeah but its generally financially unfeasible for a contributor to pay to go to UDS just to have a say.... Even the Canonical employees at PuppetConf said they agree
<bkerensa> yeah true
<bkerensa> :P
<valorie> right, but I've been sponsored before
<bkerensa> well I need sleep I have been doing PuppetConf all week from 5am to 11pm :P
<valorie> sleep well
<bkerensa> Yeah :) I hope in the next year or so I will apply for sponsorship to UDS
<bkerensa> gnight
<valorie> I sort of wish I had this time
<valorie> but I didn't

 * thefinn93 just moved to Bothell. Hello, Washington people!
<thefinn93> Oh also UW has us on Comca$t cable Internet, which means it's broken (of course)
<thefinn93> currently on someone elses connection, probably not legal, but I doubt they'll notice
<valorie> hi thefinn93!
<valorie> welcome to washington
<thefinn93> thanks
<thefinn93> enjoying it already. similar weather, which is nice
<thefinn93> i know everyone hates the rain, but at least it isn't one of those places that never rains
<thefinn93> and is always over nine thousand degrees
<valorie> I don't hate the rain
<valorie> I've lived here all my life, and almost always love the weather
<thefinn93> w00t
<thefinn93> someone who agrees with me!
<valorie> unless there is months and months of gray, gray, gray
<valorie> then I get tired of it
<thefinn93> yeah
<thefinn93> i can understand
<valorie> there was once like 120 days in a row of overcast or rain
<valorie> but that was the year I drove down to visit my sis in Arizona
<valorie> lol
<thefinn93> oh wow
<thefinn93> that sucks
<valorie> so I had a couple weeks of sun in the middle
<thefinn93> oh nice
<valorie> bad it bearable for me
<thefinn93> perfect
<valorie> bad for everyone else stuck in it.....
<valorie> :-)
<thefinn93> yeah
<valorie> what's your major at UW?
<valorie> and did you see my email to the list?
<thefinn93> Major is going to be Computer Science
<thefinn93> or whatever they call it
<thefinn93> haven't joined the ubuntu-us-wa list yet
<thefinn93> i'll do so now
<valorie> heh
<thefinn93> oh wow. not easy to fine
<thefinn93> find*
 * thefinn93 loved ctrl-F
<thefinn93> loves*
<thefinn93> ok i'm subscribed
<valorie> goodo
<thefinn93> oh wait gotta confirm
<thefinn93> ok there we go
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-26
<bkerensa> valorie: You and thefinn93 are on the Ubuntu Americas blog
<bkerensa> ;)
<bkerensa> http://ubuntu-us.org/2011/09/26/ubuntu-oregon-progress-can-be-made/
<thefinn93> nice
<valorie> nice!
 * bkerensa goes back afk
<ievans3024> I've set up my launchpad profile, signed the code of conduct, introduced myself on the forum, and started hanging out in here regularly. Anything else I should be doing?
<valorie> OMG, hanging out in the forum!
<valorie> perhaps become our Forums person?
 * valorie always forgets
<valorie> I wish that forum posts appeared here or on the list or both
<valorie> we have a bot in #amarok which does that for amarok posts
<valorie> welcome ievans3024!
<valorie> are you subbed to the list?
<valorie> that's how I usually communicat
<valorie> e
<valorie> I know some people hate 'em
<ievans3024> i am honestly completely unfamiliar with how mailing lists work
<valorie> heh
<ievans3024> i see archives all the time, but have never attempted to figure out how to participate
<valorie> I was on mail lists before the internet started
 * valorie is OLD
<valorie> lol
<valorie> archives are awesome -- collective memory
<valorie> the more searchable, the more useful
<ievans3024> indeed.
<ievans3024> hang on, cat is spazzing
<ievans3024> so i should be more active on the ubuntu forums?
<valorie> when I remember to visit, I don't see a lot of activity there
<valorie> we should add it to the /topic
<valorie> damn it, I asked for the topic to be updated
<valorie> and it was not
<valorie> grrrr
<ievans3024> i did notice it was rather slow, but i'm kind of used to that from other communities. 
<valorie> well, we're a small Loco, and still not approved
<valorie> unfortunately
<valorie> I just sent an email to the list about that, actually
<ievans3024> what does it take to get approved?
<valorie> that's what my email was about, LOL
<ievans3024> i see
<valorie> basically, not only have a sustained contribution, but keeping track of it
<valorie> we do stuff, but aren't so good about meeting regularly, or reporting about what we do
<valorie> the loco council is strict on reporting
<ievans3024> i see. and by contribution, you mean doing stuff to help current ubuntu users and encourage more people to try it?
<ievans3024> and/or code?
<valorie> yes
<valorie> I'm not sure we have any coders
<valorie> but some of us test, or write docs
<ievans3024> i'm a wannabe coder
<valorie> work on the wikis, or forums, or IRC
<valorie> there are so many ways to contribute
<ievans3024> yep, i still don't know what i'd be good at or enjoy
<valorie> but as a loco, we need to provide support here, on the list and on the forum
<valorie> and meet occasionally, and do some outreach
<valorie> for some reason, we've been sort of at a standstill
<ievans3024> by on the forum, you mean the ubuntu forum in general, or in the washington-specific subforum?
<valorie> I suggest browsing through the list archives
<valorie> i think both -- but primarily ours first, of course
<ievans3024> ok
<valorie> we have a release party coming up, which is supposed to be in the topic
<valorie> I'll text salt about it, I guess
<ievans3024> well, i will read through the forum, list, and irc(?) archives to get a sense of things
<valorie> we do have IRC logs somewhere
<valorie> that's a lot to scroll through
<valorie> the list is much easier -- you can tell by subject what's interesting, what's past
<ievans3024> i can probably find them. i spend all my free time doing nothing important, so i've got the time
<valorie> but at least it gives you an idea of what we've done in the past
<valorie> also, the loco directory
<valorie> i put a few of the past events on there, but as you can see, we didn't take pictures
<valorie> so it's rather colorless
<valorie> :(
<valorie> I just always forget
<valorie> where do you live, ievans3024?
<ievans3024> i'm not much of a picture taker myself
<ievans3024> Seattle, U District
<valorie> I got my husband to come along to one party (he's a windows user)
<valorie> and he took the one photo we have
<valorie> lol
<valorie> cool!
<valorie> so we have at least 3 or 4 people in that area
<valorie> we should plan our next even up there
<valorie> event
<ievans3024> I fear I will not be able to make it to the oneiric release party, but i could see about finding some good places to potentially plan for an event
<valorie> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-washington/1260/detail/ is our next event
<valorie> oh, that sucks a bit
<valorie> we usually get together and have pizza somewhere
<valorie> but we missed Software Freedom Day
<valorie> and ubuntu Global jam was on labor day weekend!
<ievans3024> had no idea such a day existed. I've been trying to come up with much better days to celebrate, such as Tesla's birthday
<valorie> I came home in the middle of the weekend for a doc jam for kubuntu
<valorie> oh, that would be AWESOME!
<valorie> we could have the coolest cake!
<valorie> shaZAM!
<valorie> anyway, I also recently wrote to the list about what the French Loco does every summer
<valorie> they provide free wifi at a music festival
<valorie> the festival provides all the electricity, connectivity, and tent space
<valorie> they provide the computers and volunteers
<valorie> and they get into to see the acts for free!
<valorie> doesn't that sound FUN?
<valorie> but i got no replies to my list post
<valorie> so i guess I'll blog about it, and see if someone else can use the idea
<valorie> I guess i should have put it on the forum too
<ievans3024> it does sound fun, it seems that this team lacks motivation, if i might be so bold to say it
<ievans3024> or perhaps it's communication
<ievans3024> thanks for the chat valorie, i will digest this and try to come back with something helpful
<ievans3024> it's time for bed though, got to survive back to school at work tomorrow
<valorie> not bold, realistic
<valorie> :-)
<valorie> nice to meet you
<ievans3024> and you
<valorie> have a great week
<valorie> hope to see you here often
<ievans3024> i'll certainly try. i will at least make the attempt to idle in here every night
<valorie> awesome
<ievans3024> and i do peek at the forums every day at least once, too
 * valorie has a bouncer and is "here" always
<valorie> sleep well
<ievans3024> you too, when you get to it.
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-28
<ievans3024> wish me luck, I applied for a job at SEOmoz for ubuntu sysadmin!
<Salt> good luck, that could be interesting
<greg-g> hey all! I'm in town for the next couple of days for a work thing. I was wondering if you had suggestions for where to eat good food (with veggie options) near the space needle area?
 * greg-g isn't just some crazy, he's from -us-ca and ex leader of -us-mi
<Salt> hey, crazy people gotta eat
<Salt> don't really know that area
<greg-g> Salt: hiya.
<greg-g> Salt: no worries, there is always yelp. Just wanted to make an excuse to come in and say hi
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-09-29
<Salt> yo aendruk 
<aendruk> hey
<Salt> greg-g, was asking for veggie restaurant options near the space needle...
<aendruk> no idea, sorry
<Salt> also psh, 365 #lfnw!
<greg-g> aendruk: no worries :)
<aendruk> Salt: that was jibberish to me
<Salt> you had parted lfnw, i lurk there all year
<Salt> was shaking a cane and telling you to get back on my lawn
<Salt> i haven't slept in a number of days so i may not be making perfect sense
<aendruk> ha, what've you been up to?
<Salt> massive server hardening
 * aendruk adds #lfnw back to auto-join only moments after removing it...
<Salt> :D
<Salt> i'm about to wipe the vm that i just spent two days setting up perfectly...
<Salt> v_v
<greg-g> I decided to go here and get combo B: http://www.bamboogarden.net/dinnercombos.html
<Salt> aendruk, played with nginx?
<aendruk> not yet, i have a couple more months of dev before i deal with servers
<Salt> aye, it's making things much much cleaner
<Salt> it's the pulse of webservers
<valorie> welcome to the nieghborhood, greg-g!
<valorie> thanks for changing the /topic, Salt
<Salt> just ping me when you want it changed, i'm usually around :)
 * seattlegaucho *yawn* .oO( time to go home)
<seattlegaucho> just registered for the oneiric rel party
<greg-g> valorie: thanks :)
<valorie> weeeeeeeee!
<valorie> I should write the list again, and get some food/drink/etc. going
<valorie> parties should be fun!
<ievans3024> in this channel's opinion, is it more practical for the creator of a software project to form the basis for a wiki about said software, and then let the users expand upon it as needed, or should the creator simply make the wiki available, and let the users create it from the ground up?
<valorie> depends on the users -- I've had people who are afraid to design wikistuff
<valorie> but are ok with fix/adding to what's already there
<valorie> that would pretty much describe me, btw
#ubuntu-us-wa 2013-09-01

<ahi2> hello anyone
<Salt> hi ahi2 
<ahi2> hi Salt
<ahi2> hows Seattle or WA?
<ahi2> weather i mean
<Salt> great
<Salt> well, I like it at least
<Salt> where are you located?
<ahi2> im in NM
<ahi2> ill be on a trip to WA last week of Sep
<ahi2> i hope the weather is decent
<Salt> probably will be rainy, but not hard rain like over there, just drizzle
<Salt> most people don't use umbrellas, if the rain gets hard enough for one then it is also too windy
<ahi2> ok
<Salt> so a light windbreaker or hoodie will usually suffice
<ahi2> i have a windbreaker and a sweatshirt just in case
<ahi2> is the underground tour any good?
<Salt> a bit cheesy, but fairly decent as far as tourist attractions
<Salt> here was a little write-up I did that is geek focused
<Salt> http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-north-america/attend/about-seattle
<ahi2> i like caves and underground stuff
<ahi2> thanks for the site list
<Salt> np
<valorie> I thought the underground tour was as you say, cheesy but fun
<valorie> in fact, the cheese is part of the fun
<valorie> I totally missed out on linuxcon
#ubuntu-us-wa 2015-09-04
<Salt> valorie, I know, thought I'd see ya!
<valorie> I was on the road, meeting or schlepping my husband on the last of his PCT trip
<valorie> he skipped the section closed by fire close to Lake Chelan
<Salt> gotcha
#ubuntu-us-wa 2015-09-07
<ahi2> good morning
