09:19:48 TylerM: let's watch my net bounce again :(
11:01:02 jmckenna: not sure if this got any airtime on this channel..but this was made for foss4g2008 tokyo/osaka: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpHilajQkGM&NR=1 catchy...the hand model is one of the organizers daughters
11:01:03 sigq: Title: YouTube - やさしいmolamolaの作り方(完全版) ( at www.youtube.com )
11:01:18 crschmidt: ( obama )
11:01:28 : * jmckenna ha!
11:11:31 spatialguru: lol
11:27:23 tomkralidis: pramsey: ping
11:41:52 pramsey: tomkralidis:
11:58:28 tomkralidis: pramsey: Internet at bond place can accomodate 40 wireless conns
11:59:19 tomkralidis: for $250. Add that to $200/day for the meeting room itself, and we're looking at $1050CAD+tax
13:05:10 spatialguru: bah.. sorry for my bad wireless :(
13:05:14 spatialguru: i think macbook is dying
13:05:27 : * spatialguru turns off auto-rejoin
13:29:09 pramsey: tomkralidis:
13:33:20 tomkralidis: pramsey: ack
13:33:29 pramsey: you pinged, earlier?
13:33:59 tomkralidis: yeah. Bond Place can handle up to 40 wireless conns for meeting room.
13:34:21 tomkralidis: cost for Internet is $250. Cost for meeting room is $200/day. Total of $1050CAD+tax
13:35:21 pramsey: sounds pretty good. any word back from UoT?
13:35:33 tomkralidis: nada
13:35:59 tomkralidis: looks like bond place is a good bet
13:36:14 pramsey: the other thing we're missing is commitment from some more folks... no word from danmo, or sdlime, for example
13:36:18 tomkralidis: if we agree, I think I will do site visit next week
13:36:36 tomkralidis: yeah, I know. Surprised not to hear from them
13:37:06 pramsey: let's confirm our "will to power" with the existing folks on the list and choose a tentative date... sounds like Feb is the better bet, to space out from the ottawa event
13:38:30 tomkralidis: good idea. Will you send out another call or something?
13:38:57 FrankW: guys, what did you think of my "performance tuning" focus idea?
13:39:57 tomkralidis: FrankW: sounds good to me. Not sure if we should limit to this, but yes, performance can be a main goal
13:40:59 FrankW: It doesn't have to be a limiting thing strictly, but I think it can be helpful to have at least one concrete goal for a sprint.
13:41:09 FrankW: A traditionally defined sprint would have very specific objectives.
13:41:56 pramsey: FrankW, I'm totally in favour
13:42:29 pramsey: but, then, I find performance tuning almost physically arousing. rrrow
13:42:41 FrankW: hmm, that is a bit disturbing.
13:43:21 FrankW: Are you guys thinking of catering for lunch?
13:45:03 pramsey: yes, it makes some sense
13:45:30 : * tomkralidis wonders if we'll actually 20-40 people
13:45:35 pramsey: tomkralidis: another site visit question is the allowability of outside catering
13:45:49 pramsey: can we just get dominoes to haul in 10 pizzas
13:45:53 pramsey: for example
13:45:58 tomkralidis: I believe she said this was ok. I will confirm at site visit
13:46:45 pramsey: also, see what kind of furniture they have
13:46:48 FrankW: I'd be willing to go to the GDAL PSC requesting on the order of $1200 towards venue and food for the sprint assuming we get at least a couple other GDAL folks interested in coming.
13:47:02 pramsey: if they can toss a couple couches in the corners, for example or out in the hall
13:47:26 tomkralidis: good point.
20:52:50 : * TylerM takes a deep breath hoping he can get one sentence out before wifi drops :P
20:52:56 crschmidt: that's 1
20:52:59 crschmidt: hurry!
20:53:08 TylerM: whew
20:53:22 TylerM: Any other Mac users notice wifi connectivity and strength issues recently?
20:53:47 TylerM: i read in one spot that there were some widespread problems after a recent security update.
20:54:44 TylerM: my sleep function seems to be b0rked too.. keeps waking up.. reconnectig to net, then going back to sleep.. hehe- as you may noticed by my irc traffic recently ; )
20:55:03 crschmidt: that's been going on for me since my powebook an 104.4
20:55:18 crschmidt: I have to shut my computer all the way down these days -- sleep is useless
20:55:31 crschmidt: I can tell when it's happening because I can hear the CD drive noise happening when the computer is closed.
20:55:51 TylerM: ouch .. same here, if it's in the same room :/
20:56:00 TylerM: a couple nights it ran all night reconnecting :P doh
20:56:07 TylerM: and battery dead in the morning
20:56:14 TylerM: glad to hear it's not just me ; )
20:56:32 TylerM: how's your wifi?
20:58:28 TylerM: biab
