[00:09] <bkerensa> jono: Do we want people to be doing testing for upgrades to Quantal?
[00:09] <bkerensa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam
[00:18] <cjohnston> I would assume always
[00:19] <pleia2> we'll be doing iso testing at our jam
[00:19] <jcastro> hey bkerensa
[00:19] <jcastro> do you happen to know if subway is going to get multiple server support any time soon?
[00:20] <jcastro> the alice guy just sent me a mail, he's finishing off the project and I'm going to need a new client soon. :-/
[00:22] <jcastro> bkerensa: oh, nm, I found the bug
[00:23] <jcastro> aha, some guy is running multiple tabs for multiple networks
[00:23] <jcastro> that sounds good enough
[00:23] <bkerensa> jcastro: I dont know I will ask... but right now its over 100 degrees
[00:23] <bkerensa> so Im shutting off all appliances
[00:23] <bkerensa> :D
[00:23] <jcastro> hah
[02:07] <head_victim> bkerensa: your link to the global jam actually appears to go to the March jam, not the September one (in your bog post).
[02:07] <head_victim> That being said, that one has a lot more relevant information on it than the actual page :/
[04:07] <bkerensa> head_victim: its actually a link from the global jam wiki
[04:07] <bkerensa> head_victim: its because the UGJ wiki is outdated
[04:12] <head_victim> bkerensa: ah well there you go, at least you know someone read your blog ;)

[13:51] <popey> :(
[13:52] <nigelb> popey: So, best advice so far I've got re:microsim get a normal sim and cut it :/
[13:52] <popey> hah
[13:52] <popey> nigelb, know of any particularly good deals out there?
[13:52] <nigelb> apparently that's what everyone does!
[13:52] <popey> for people on a short stay
[13:53] <popey> yeah, my phone has a cut down one in :)
[13:53] <nigelb> So, Airtel and Vodafone are the okay providers to go to. They do prepaid.
[13:53] <nigelb> But be warned though.
[13:53] <nigelb> India is pretty crazy about doumentation.
[13:53] <nigelb> We usually ask for address proof and ID proof. I don't know how it would work for foreigners.
[13:54] <popey> they don't do pay as you go?
[13:54] <popey> or sim rental?
[13:54] <nigelb> prepaid is pay as you I think.
[13:57] <popey> thanks nigelb !
[13:57] <nigelb> popey: np!
[13:57] <dholbach> popey, going to India?
[13:57] <nigelb> He's going to shut us down
[13:58] <nigelb> lol
[13:58] <popey> not me, my wifes cousin
[13:58] <popey> hah
[13:58] <nigelb> (sorry, that was hard to resist)
[13:58] <popey> not heard that in a while
[13:58] <nigelb> I should get someone to do a memeable picture of you ;)
[13:58] <popey> there's a few of them floating around
[13:59] <nigelb> ha \o/
[13:59] <popey> http://planet.bitfolk.com/images/popey.png
[13:59] <popey> is one of my faves
[13:59] <nigelb> the picture is too tiny to make a meme out of it ;-)
[13:59] <popey> true
[14:04] <dholbach> nigelb, it should be be hard to shut down a country of one billion people who are all capable of things like this: http://goo.gl/I0uZy
[14:05] <nigelb> On that note, the internet has delivered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCiY1y3uJ3o
[14:07] <nigelb> dholbach: hahahaha
[14:07] <nigelb> that is epic, lol
[14:14] <JoseeAntonioR> mhall119: got anyone for the Ubuntu TV session? schedule about to close
[14:19] <mhall119> JoseeAntonioR: let me check again
[14:24] <mhall119> JoseeAntonioR: not this time for the TV team
[14:25] <JoseeAntonioR> mhall119: ok, then :)

[16:13] <DJones> jono: Are you expecting somebody to contact you via IRC? there's a user in #ubuntu says they've been trying to get in touch with you
[16:14] <DJones> 17:11 < areallygayuserna> Hello does anyone know how I can contact Jono Bacon. I was directed by the UK Canonical office to contact him here.
[16:15] <DJones> They've also been asking using the nick " miririri7_dr0id"
[16:16] <dholbach> alright my friends - I call it a day
[16:16] <dholbach> have a great weekend
[16:50] <jono> DJones, I have nop idea who that is
[16:53] <IdleOne> it is rather complicated to google you and find a way to contact.
[16:54] <Pici> I think they were asking what the 'US Canonical Headquarters' number was earlier.
[16:59] <jono> mhall119, G+?
[16:59] <mhall119> yup
[18:12] <DJones> jono: Last I saw, they'd sent you a pm anyway
[18:13] <jono> DJones, its all sorted
[18:13] <jono> thanks
[18:21]  * bkerensa waves
[19:01] <jcastro> jono: are you lunching now/soon or got time?
[19:05] <greg-g> oh right, lunch time
[19:10] <jono> jcastro, not had lunch yet
[19:10] <jono> been on calls
[19:10] <jcastro> no worries
[19:10] <jcastro> catch you on the flipside?
[19:10] <jono> will ping when I am done with lunch
[19:10]  * jcastro nods
[19:10] <jono> just need to sync up with mhall119 first
[19:11]  * jcastro breaks for lunch too
[19:11] <jcastro> I need to get better about eating on a schedule, lol
[20:52] <jono> jcastro, ready in a few mins?
[20:52] <jcastro> FO SHO
[21:00] <jono> jcastro, https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/3ba281ac57168a7a521aa41e7754b341d0f04fcf?authuser=0&hl=en-US
[21:12] <mhall119> yay, I'm not running Quantal
[21:13] <balloons> ?
[21:13] <balloons> lol?
[21:13] <mhall119> s/not/now/
[21:13] <balloons> AHH!
[21:13] <balloons> yea, mine is STILL going
[21:13] <balloons> of course I haven't slowed down to be nice to it at all
[21:13] <balloons> still running vm's, etc
[21:13] <mhall119> wow, empathy looks different
[21:14] <balloons> yea.. it's quite different
[21:14] <mhall119> can't I make the contact smaller?
[21:17] <balloons> mhall119, now you now less options is better
[21:17] <mhall119> well, I'm willing to give it a try
[21:18] <balloons> heh.. to my knowledge no you can't change it
[21:18] <balloons> or revert back to the old style
[21:20] <balloons> it grew on me.. but I was a heavy pidgin user before switching to empathy after the integration with ubuntu
[21:20] <balloons> and in the end.. I have minimal needs so it meets them
[21:26] <mhall119> aw, no EnigMail for the new Thunderbird?
[21:26] <mhall119> now how will I hide my plans for world domination from the justice leage?
[21:30] <balloons> no worries.. the Evil League of Evil can help you out
[21:30]  * balloons inserts "horrible" dr. horrible reference.. with a pun!
[21:51] <balloons> AND.. we're back in quantal
[21:51] <balloons> fun times
[21:54] <mhall119> mine's broken
[22:05] <jono> mhall119, broken?
[22:05] <jono> there was a recent X upload
[22:05] <jono> maybe that was it?
[22:09] <mhall119> jono: no, unity upgrade bug
[22:17] <jono> mhall119, ahh
[22:58]  * balloons knows mhall119 reported his result :-)
[23:01] <mhall119> balloons: there's already a bug for it
[23:01] <mhall119> I just needed to get the missing gschema file
[23:01] <balloons> ahh
[23:02] <mhall119> now it's just crashing on me a lot (using the unity-team/staging PPA though)
[23:02] <balloons> hehe
[23:15] <elfy> balloons: thanks for that - I needed that reply :)
[23:17] <balloons> elfy, no worries
[23:17] <elfy> :)
[23:17] <balloons> thanks for sticking with it
[23:17] <balloons> arm desktop is broken right now
[23:17] <balloons> till 3d driver is fixed
[23:18] <elfy> and while I would love to say it is Saturday - I shall be about on IRC support (other than #ubuntu) with forum being down
[23:19] <elfy> balloons: I am thinking that an ARM m/l is going to be worth it in the long run - better to do it now while need is low than later
[23:19] <elfy> QA list is great - but ....
[23:20] <elfy> I really don't need to know that 64bit alterante is up the creek for an odd case that has nothing to with ARM just now
[23:20] <elfy> kind of thing
[23:51] <balloons> elfy, yes.. well communicating what's going on with the images is an open discussion I think
[23:51] <balloons> the people working on alt need to know about alt, arm about arm, etc
[23:53] <elfy> yep - agree completely - trouble comes if you have someone like that troublesome elf guy - who only uses unity with this arm - so misses most of the bugs :p
[23:53] <elfy> I filter ARm stuff  - been 3 of us I think ;)
[23:54] <balloons> :)
[23:55] <elfy> on one hand I cvan understand having someone testing this stuff who is not tech - on the other I wonder if having someone who ran away from unity is any help
[23:56] <elfy> though I guess he is the ' surprise' element in the test
[23:58] <elfy> at the end of the day I am happy to keep fighting the fight for it so ...
