| 01:50.19 | GGD | good evening |
| 02:17.02 | GGD | hey jsmith looks like you had a good time |
| 02:17.31 | jsmith | I did... I'm still exhausted, but it was a great conference |
| 02:17.41 | jsmith | Had a bit of a scare when I got home |
| 02:26.15 | GGD | oh everything ok |
| 02:26.18 | GGD | where was it at? |
| 02:43.06 | jsmith | Sorry, have too many conversations going |
| 02:43.17 | jsmith | When I landed, I called my wife to say that I was at the airport |
| 02:43.23 | jsmith | She was just coming home from the ER with my son |
| 02:43.33 | jsmith | Nothing too serious, but it was a bit of a scare |
| 02:43.42 | jsmith | (concussion and four staples) |
| 03:00.49 | GGD | oh my gosh is he ok? |
| 03:04.40 | jsmith | Yeah, he's fine |
| 03:05.03 | jsmith | The doctor had him stay home from school for a couple of days, and he can't go to PE for a week |
| 03:05.07 | jsmith | but he's just fine |
| 03:05.33 | jsmith | He was swinging from a rope in the barn, and the rope broke, and then a big metal pitchfork fell down and grazed his head |
| 03:05.40 | jsmith | Could have been much worse |
| 03:15.11 | GGD | oh my gosh yea |
| 03:15.21 | GGD | he could have been very seriously hurt |
| 03:16.57 | jsmith | Yeah... thank goodness for guardian angels (if you believe in that), or karma |
| 03:29.04 | GGD | or both |
| 03:32.33 | GGD | is it lightening and thundering there? |
| 03:46.09 | *** part/#fredlug GGD (~deberle@pool-173-72-204-39.clppva.fios.verizon.net) |
| 12:56.14 | stickster | jsmith: YIKES, just saw your story above. |
| 12:56.34 | stickster | Glad Caleb's OK |

| 13:38.01 | plarsen | Friday - yipiiiiii! |
| 13:42.05 | jsmith | stickster: Yeah, it's been a wild week -- I wish I could look forward to a quiet weekend to relax :-p |
| 13:47.33 | jduncan | we have blessedly marked this weekend off as DO NOTHING. so pumped |
| 13:54.12 | stickster | doesn'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 |
| 13:54.27 | stickster | At least there's the weekend after. I can just sit at home then and do taxes. :-\ |
| 13:55.05 | plarsen | jduncan, WHAT? No lug meeting? *grin* |
| 13:55.23 | plarsen | tell me about it stickster ... getting docs together myself today |
| 13:55.28 | jsmith | What's the topic for the LUG meeting? |
| 13:55.33 | jsmith | has been out of the loop, obviously |
| 13:55.37 | plarsen | jsmith, topic is "we need a topic" |
| 13:55.52 | plarsen | I think Ted had something he wanted to talk about |
| 13:55.58 | jsmith | plarsen: Hmmmmn... I should really present something -- I haven't done anything in a long time |
| 13:56.14 | plarsen | Show up, and we'll get the projector ;) |
| 13:56.18 | jsmith | Yeah, wasn't Ted going to talk about guestfs? |
| 13:56.35 | plarsen | And some foam balls so we can hit the speaker to keep him on his toes ... *lol* |
| 13:56.39 | plarsen | jsmith, yeah |
| 13:56.45 | plarsen | loves guestfish |
| 13:57.02 | plarsen | Let me see if I can find him. |
| 14:06.07 | plarsen | Ted is on |
| 14:06.11 | plarsen | Guestfish it is :) |
| 14:06.49 | jduncan | 9am? |
| 14:07.16 | plarsen | yes - I know you don't like it that early ;) |
| 14:07.35 | plarsen | It may be a subject we should take up on the mailing list if people are interested in meeting a bit later on Saturdays |
| 14:07.56 | jduncan | lol |
| 14:08.21 | jduncan | i see the convenience. Saturday is that single precious "sleep in" day in my house. |
| 14:09.40 | plarsen | That's Sundays here. |
| 14:10.39 | plarsen | As 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 :) |
| 22:02.57 | stickster | The more email approaches synchronous communication, the more worthless it is. |
| 22:03.05 | stickster | (as a communications medium, I mean) |
| 22:04.17 | jduncan | 100% agrees. If it's not work or my aunt I rarely look at an email these days... |
| 22:07.50 | stickster | The 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. |
| 22:07.59 | stickster | Use IRC, or get on the phone. |
| 22:08.17 | stickster | Expecting my email client to pull down things seconds after you send it means YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. |
| 22:08.36 | plarsen | Yeah, we need to get off emails |
| 22:09.07 | plarsen | I 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. |
| 22:09.19 | plarsen | As a user, you view them regardless of what type of data they are. |
