02:43.06jsmithSorry, have too many conversations going
02:43.17jsmithWhen I landed, I called my wife to say that I was at the airport
02:43.23jsmithShe was just coming home from the ER with my son

03:04.40jsmithYeah, he's fine
03:05.03jsmithThe doctor had him stay home from school for a couple of days, and he can't go to PE for a week
03:05.07jsmithbut he's just fine
03:05.33jsmithHe was swinging from a rope in the barn, and the rope broke, and then a big metal pitchfork fell down and grazed his head

13:38.01plarsenFriday - yipiiiiii!
13:42.05jsmithstickster: Yeah, it's been a wild week -- I wish I could look forward to a quiet weekend to relax :-p
13:47.33jduncanwe have blessedly marked this weekend off as DO NOTHING. so pumped
13:54.12sticksterdoesn't have to drive to C'ville this Saturday, but still can't make meeting... now I have to drive to Manassas for daughter's piano recital
13:54.27sticksterAt least there's the weekend after. I can just sit at home then and do taxes. :-\
13:55.05plarsenjduncan, WHAT? No lug meeting? *grin*
13:55.23plarsentell me about it stickster ... getting docs together myself today
13:55.28jsmithWhat's the topic for the LUG meeting?
13:55.33jsmithhas been out of the loop, obviously
13:55.37plarsenjsmith, topic is "we need a topic"
13:55.52plarsenI think Ted had something he wanted to talk about
13:55.58jsmithplarsen: Hmmmmn... I should really present something -- I haven't done anything in a long time
13:56.14plarsenShow up, and we'll get the projector ;)
13:56.18jsmithYeah, wasn't Ted going to talk about guestfs?
13:56.35plarsenAnd some foam balls so we can hit the speaker to keep him on his toes ... *lol*
13:56.39plarsenjsmith, yeah
13:56.45plarsenloves guestfish
13:57.02plarsenLet me see if I can find him.
14:06.07plarsenTed is on
14:06.11plarsenGuestfish it is :)
14:06.49jduncan9am?
14:07.16plarsenyes - I know you don't like it that early ;)
14:07.35plarsenIt may be a subject we should take up on the mailing list if people are interested in meeting a bit later on Saturdays
14:07.56jduncanlol
14:08.21jduncani see the convenience. Saturday is that single precious "sleep in" day in my house.
14:09.40plarsenThat's Sundays here.
14:10.39plarsenAs a batchelor in a country where shops close at 5-7pm every day, and have short Saturday hours, Saturday was always my "gotta get my weekly shopping done" rush day. So Sunday was sleep in, feet up and have friends over day :)
22:02.57sticksterThe more email approaches synchronous communication, the more worthless it is.
22:03.05stickster(as a communications medium, I mean)
22:04.17jduncan100% agrees. If it's not work or my aunt I rarely look at an email these days...
22:07.50sticksterThe main problem for me is when people are emailing in close to real time trying to emulate what they ought to do in a @#)(@#$! phone call.
22:07.59sticksterUse IRC, or get on the phone.
22:08.17sticksterExpecting my email client to pull down things seconds after you send it means YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
22:08.36plarsenYeah, we need to get off emails
22:09.07plarsenI wish we looked at things more like Lotus Notes did it in the 90'ies. You have projects/context folders where all data, including communication, documents, schedules etc. are thrown into.
22:09.19plarsenAs a user, you view them regardless of what type of data they are.
