[0:08] <elfgoh> Hmmm any Opera fans here?
[0:09] <triplez> y?
[0:09] <triplez> i use opera
[0:09] <elfgoh> I have just been approached by Opera Campus Crew.
[0:09] <elfgoh> They want to have a talk at NUS
[0:09] <dwu> I love Opera Mini.
[0:09] <elfgoh> wondering if we could collaborate and conduct the event
[0:10] <elfgoh> triplez: you met him at the HTC launch
[0:10] <elfgoh> Jeremy
[0:10] <triplez> who is opera campus crew
[0:10] <triplez> i did? remind me again who
[0:10] <elfgoh> triplez: I am not entirely sure. But they are some sort of Opera student ambassadors
[0:11] <elfgoh> hey!
[0:11] <triplez> from NUS?
[0:11] <elfgoh> I should get them to present at Barcamp!
[0:11] <elfgoh> triplez: nope
[0:12] <elfgoh> NTU and AESS
[0:12] <elfgoh> NTU didn't give the go
[0:12] <triplez> oh jeremy... that guy from secondary school?
[0:13] <elfgoh> triplez: that's right
[0:13] <elfgoh> He does podcasts too i think... will be a great addition to our podcast team :D
[0:13] <triplez> sounds good
[0:14] <triplez> tell him come up with a compelling presentation... not just a "why opera is good" crap
[0:14] <triplez> or "why opera is better than other browsers"...
[0:14] <elfgoh> triplez: yea I am getting him to put him a detailed proposal.. and will run through with coreteam
[0:14] <triplez> if they can come up with an interesting edge... then yes we should have him in october
[0:14] <elfgoh> triplez: agreed
[0:15] <triplez> don't need a detailed proposal... just a title, and a short synopsis...
[0:15] <elfgoh> Apparently they have direct support from Opera
[0:15] <elfgoh> so they got budget for their posters
[0:15] <elfgoh> unsure about food lol
[0:15] <triplez> budget.... HMMMM
[0:15] <triplez> :)
[0:15] <elfgoh> he says Opera is really supportive
[0:16] <elfgoh> I do think SoC/Singapore needs this type of exposure
[0:16] <triplez> agreed... but if it's just a marketing talk then i don't think it's suitable
[0:17] <hyperair> opera? there's opera in singapore?
[0:18] <triplez> but i mean... yeah... i'm sure linuxNUS is open to collaboration... :) run through daniel first though... since he's the president
[0:19] <elfgoh> triplez: definitely

[2:20] * ziyong (n=Chua_Zi_@eng203137.pc.nus.edu.sg) Quit (Client Quit)
[2:20] <elfgoh> ruiwen: how's the install fest venue?
[2:21] <ruiwen> eh you're asking about enterprise
[2:21] <ruiwen> ?
[2:21] <ruiwen> btw, welcome inimical our newest coreteam member
[2:22] <elfgoh> ruiwen: well i am talking about the finalised venue. Are we settled on Enterprise?
[2:22] <triplez> welcome inimical
[2:22] <inimical> thanks, i'll do my best
[2:23] * jmarki pats inimical on the back
[2:23] <triplez> elfgoh: if we can book that place... y not?
[2:23] <triplez> i like it
[2:23] <jmarki> inimical: there there
[2:23] <jmarki> =p
[2:23] <ruiwen> elfgoh: i don't think we've settled on anything as yet
[2:23] <elfgoh> so can we settle it now now?
[2:26] <elfgoh> 4 of us here who have seen the place and active. Think we can settle it quick?
[2:26] <elfgoh> Always good to have advance notice
[2:26] <ruiwen> well.. if there are no complaints as to enterprise's remoteness, i like the place
[2:26] <triplez> if not that place then SOC works perfectly fine
[2:26] <triplez> i think try to get SOC... since nus enterprise is pretty remote
[2:26] <elfgoh> +1 from me as long as we have a video and the plot on Google Maps
[2:26] <triplez> does any shuttle bus gets there?
[2:26] <elfgoh> literally a video on how to get there
[2:26] <ruiwen> i am hesitant to have it anywhere on SoC territory since their network is the pits
[2:26] <elfgoh> triplez: yea the A1/A2 bus
[2:26] <ruiwen> triplez: A1, under the Biz bridge, then walk
[2:26] <triplez> hmmm... ok... works fine for me... a video and a plot on google maps work
[2:26] <triplez> coz i have no idea how to get there
[2:26] <triplez> without a car
[2:26] <triplez> :P
[2:26] <ruiwen> still again, bear in mind that it's meant to be open to public, and NUS shuttle weekends are few and far between
[2:26] <ruiwen> *shuttle on weekends
[2:26] <triplez> i thought we're going to do a weekday for install fest?
[2:26] <elfgoh> yea same here
[2:26] <triplez> we're not talking about hackfest
[2:27] <elfgoh> thought weekday?
[2:27] <ruiwen> eh
[2:27] <ruiwen> eh sorry sorry
[2:27] <ruiwen> got mixed up
[2:27] * elfgoh slaps ruiwen
[2:27] <triplez> ruiwen you need sleep
[2:27] <triplez> LOL
[2:27] <ruiwen> *facepalms*
[2:27] <ruiwen> okok then should be better =)
[2:27] <jmarki> ruiwen just made jmarki more confused.... O@*($*@&$(
[2:27] <ruiwen> NUS students should be fine i guess
[2:28] <triplez> but yes.. if you want it at that place... you need to make a video of it
[2:28] <ruiwen> ok if we like enterprise i'll send mail tomorrow asking if we can book the place then
[2:28] <triplez> and we can also introduce our club room too!
[2:28] * jmarki seconds nes, unless the rental is atrocious
[2:28] <ruiwen> i doubt there'll be rental fees
[2:29] <elfgoh> jmarki: what rental?
[2:29] <jmarki> nes loh
[2:29] <elfgoh> Not everything corporate needs $$
[2:29] <elfgoh> IMHO
[2:29] <elfgoh> But let's find out tomorrow
[2:30] <elfgoh> I mean.... we squatted there for free on Tue night!
[2:30] <elfgoh> but let's wait and see :)
[2:30] <jmarki> erm.... in nus, even if a department wants to reserve a parking lot for a VIP, they must pay oed
[2:31] <jmarki> reserve for an event, for a few hours
[2:31] <ruiwen> jmarki: don't worry about it now
[2:31] <elfgoh> ruiwen: if you want to send tomorrow... i suggest you just send a mail to ngiin... to remind each other
[2:31] <ruiwen> elfgoh: can
[2:31] <ruiwen> hm..
[2:31] <ruiwen> remind me in 8 hours to send email to Enterprise
[2:31] <marice_nus> ruiwen: Okay, I'll remind you about that on Fri Sep 11 10:31:57 SGT 2009
[2:32] <jmarki> so, there's no need for a video on how to get there this time, right?
[2:32] <ruiwen> i think a video would still be cool
[2:32] * jmarki marvels at how decisions can be made when daniel's asleep
[2:32] <elfgoh> jmarki: this is called decentralised execution
[2:33] <triplez> lol
[2:33] <ruiwen> starfish!
[2:33] <elfgoh> ruiwen: i think a video is important.... especially if they are non SoC students
[2:33] <triplez> i'm surprised how similar daniel is to our own president of singapore
[2:34] <ruiwen> ?
[2:34] <elfgoh> triplez: cut him some slack! He is yr 4 man
[2:34] <triplez> yes sir!
[2:35] <jmarki> i think the nes location page is good enough
[2:35] <jmarki> http://nus.edu.sg/nec/about/contactus/location.html
[2:35] <jmarki> triplez: that was good... but nonono, we don't do that
[2:35] <elfgoh> jmarki: you are talking about freshmen here
[2:36] <jmarki> triplez: we don't wait till he steps down, complains about the system, before things change. the OTC syndrome
[2:36] <elfgoh> and though you may have superior map reading skills, I am afraid not everyone may be as talented as you are ;)
[2:36] <elfgoh> ok jokes aside..
[2:36] * triplez_ (n=triplez@cm52.sigma225.maxonline.com.sg) has joined #linuxnus
[2:37] <jmarki> elfgoh: eh?! i tot all nus freshmen bring the nus map everywhere they go
[2:37] <inimical> jmarki: i did that in my first year
[2:37] <elfgoh> jmarki: which part of "map reading" did you not understand
[2:37] <ruiwen> jmarki: that's a horrible map, to be honest
[2:38] <inimical> it helped me to find out the bus routes at least
[2:38] <inimical> :/
[2:38] <elfgoh> jmarki: my bad... they read the map... but fail to understand :p
[2:38] <jmarki> wtf... they used the nus campus for the incubator only?!
[2:38] <elfgoh> so yea.. they have poor "map understanding skills"
[2:39] <elfgoh> anyway.... we need to spend time sorting out and prepping for our events and SFD...
[2:39] <elfgoh> And of course some are more urgent than others as discussed last night
[2:41] <elfgoh> so i was thinking that maybe some of us can come back on Saturday to settle the stuff?
[2:41] <elfgoh> or even tomorrow? for those who can make it?
[2:41] <ruiwen> there's codeandroid tomorrow evening though?
[2:42] <ruiwen> though we could take this after?
[2:42] <elfgoh> ruiwen: yes we could
[2:42] <elfgoh> just need the will to do it
[2:43] <ruiwen> well.. seeing as we're all familiar with last train schedules by now
[2:43] <elfgoh> I rather spend Fri and Saturday doing it at one shot, rather than rushing down during weekdays.
[2:43] <ruiwen> btw.. i've asked daniel to bring the forms from the room tomorrow so we can each bring home a bit and key the info in
[2:44] <ruiwen> saturday is good for me
[2:44] * triplez (n=triplez@218.212.225.52) Quit (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
[2:44] * triplez_ is now known as triplez
[2:44] <ruiwen> though i think triplez is going for twestival
[2:44] * jmarki is fully booked this weekend
[2:44] <elfgoh> and don't forget we got quite a few followup mails to send out..
[2:45] <ruiwen> who's drafting the followup?
[2:45] <triplez> twestival is 11am to 3pm
[2:45] <jmarki> can the followup email be part of the invitiation to the mailing list?
[2:46] <elfgoh> ruiwen: why not ask dqminh to bring the forms... then settle it after codeandroid meeting
[2:47] <jmarki> nay.... cannot create custom invites
[2:47] <ruiwen> elfgoh: um, didn't i just say that a few lines earlier? =)
[2:47] <ruiwen> well ok, except the settle after codeandroid bit
[2:48] <elfgoh> ruiwen: yeap.... i don't want to bring it home
[2:48] <ruiwen> but yeah, better to take the time to discuss issues.. data entry can be left for home, no?
[2:49] <elfgoh> ruiwen: i think we need the information before we can have a proper discussion for certain issues
[2:49] <elfgoh> and I don't think it will take long...
[2:49] <elfgoh> 4 of us can settle in max 30 min
[2:49] <elfgoh> i think
[2:49] <elfgoh> or even less
[2:49] <ruiwen> such as? i mean yeah, if we need the collated info first, then yeah we can do it on the spot, no problems.. whatever works
[2:50] <elfgoh> Such as which events are most in demand, for instance
[2:52] <ruiwen> hm ok.. we could take that on the ground tomorrow then, i guess..
[2:52] <ruiwen> need to check with daniel if he's able to make it
[2:53] * elfgoh slaps icedwate1
[2:54] <elfgoh> icedwate1: did you get around to doing the planning forecast for next week?
[2:55] * jmarki is now known as jmarki|away
[2:56] <elfgoh> ruiwen: actually can call for coreteam meeting in town...
[2:56] <elfgoh> same venue as codeandroid
[2:57] <elfgoh> then when we finish codeandroid then go over to the next table lor lol
[2:58] <ruiwen> (aside) Episode 3 is looking good.. minimal edits needed so far
[2:59] <elfgoh> is that a good idea?
[2:59] <jmarki|away> ruiwen: did you add yq to the coreteam? =D
[3:00] <ruiwen> elfgoh: to be honest, it might be cutting it a little -too- fine.. might not be able to properly discuss either side.. would prefer meeting on saturday to have more breathing room
[3:01] <ruiwen> jmarki|away: not yet
[3:01] <ruiwen> yq: ping
[3:01] <yq> pong
[3:01] <ruiwen> yq: coreteam yes? =)

[3:04] <ruiwen> hm true

[3:23] <yq> =P
[3:26] * jmarki|away finds it interesting yq asked not to be whacked right after the call to coreteam is made. whahahah
[3:27] <jmarki|away> yq, why would we whack you?!?!
[3:27] <elfgoh> ruiwen: are the photos still in SD card>
[3:27] <yq> dont know~!?
[3:29] <ruiwen> elfgoh: the welcome tea photos? they're sitting on my desktop
[3:30] <elfgoh> ruiwen: put them to a sdcard or something? We upload using my dongle connection tomorrow somehow?
[3:31] <elfgoh> multi task :p
[3:31] <elfgoh> how big anyway?
[3:33] <inimical> oops looks like i missed the discussion
[3:33] <yq> btw. good that all the photos are uploaded high res..
[3:33] <yq> if would not be of use for the poster
[3:33] <ruiwen> elfgoh: about 200mb
[3:34] <inimical> is there a meeting today(friday) or tomorrow?
[3:34] <ruiwen> elfgoh: if i have time later i can try to set the things to upload overnight
[3:34] <ruiwen> flickr is sufficiently slow that an hour or so with a dongle probably isn't enough
[3:34] <elfgoh> ruiwen: i see
[3:35] <ruiwen> inimical: today (friday), if anything
[3:35] <elfgoh> inimical: am hoping we can settle all on Fri... so Sat we can just have our own free time
[3:36] <inimical> ruiwen: sounds great. where would the meeting be at?
[3:39] <yq> nite peple

[11:56] <ruiwen> how's yours?
[11:56] <icedwater> About the same, 2 days... I wanted to know if the battery should last longer.
[11:58] <ruiwen> heh not as far as i can tell =p
[11:59] <elfgoh1> icedwater: you could turn down the screen brightness and turn off unecessry services and use gprs

[12:06] <dwu> ruiwen: noted, thanks :D i'm anticipating trying to book a test date in maybe mid march or april.
[12:06] <hyperair> ruiwen: why?
[12:06] <ruiwen> tired, pre-lunch, hungry, sweaty, old examiners == examiner sleeping in car
[12:07] <ruiwen> or they just want to get it over with and go for lunch
[12:07] <elfgoh> haha

[12:20] <ziyong> but if it can last 2 days
[12:20] <ziyong> its very good
[12:20] <icedwater> Is there any way to turn everything off?
[12:20] <ziyong> with mobile internet
[12:20] <ziyong> can
[12:20] <ziyong> delete the apn
[12:20] <icedwater> Only phone networks ... haha
[12:20] <ziyong> then its off
[12:20] <ziyong> turn of wifi in settings
[12:20] <icedwater> So there's always going to be background data transmission?
[12:21] <ziyong> or use toggle wifi
[12:21] <ziyong> u can turn off syn
[12:21] <ziyong> sync*
[12:21] <icedwater> I turn it off using Power Manager...
[12:21] <icedwater> Yeah, sync is set to manual.
[12:21] <ziyong> i dun use that
[12:21] <icedwater> One of the first things I did.
[12:21] <ziyong> power manger in my opinion = crap
[12:21] <icedwater> Power Ranger?
[12:21] <ziyong> lol
[12:21] <icedwater> How come, ziyong?
[12:21] <ziyong> coz it backgrounds a lot of stuff
[12:21] <ziyong> while not doing much work
[12:22] <ziyong> i rather turn off the thing manually using toggle settings

[12:27] <sng> icedwater: My guess would be that, like the iPhone, it trickle charges for the last hour or so of that. Which *really* helps with making the battery last longer.

[12:28] <sng> Also. I don't "get" the obssession with battery life. Seriously. How often are you away from power for two days at a time?
[12:28] <icedwater> I'm hoping your name stands for scary network guy and not sarcastic network guy, because my sarcasm co-processor hasn't booted up yet.
[12:28] <dwu> *giggle*
[12:29] <dwu> sng: i am, often :P
[12:29] <sng> dwu: True. But you're a corner case on that. :)
[12:29] <icedwater> It would be nice to not have to wait 3 hours and have to charge it every 2 days.. I had to go economy mode to stretch it.
[12:29] <sng> icedwater: Plug it in while you sleep? :)
[12:30] <icedwater> Besides, Americans are the ones who are always complaining about having expensive fuel, etc.
[12:30] <dwu> well, also my phone has a bettery life of maybe a full day on heavy use.
[12:30] <icedwater> Despite their horrendous power consumption habits.
[12:30] <dwu> sng doesn't complain about fuel, he takes a bus :)
[12:30] <icedwater> And dirt cheap gasoline in comparison.
[12:30] <sng> dwu: :)
[12:30] <icedwater> dwu: Shush, I'm generalising. :P
[12:30] <icedwater> Corner cases are the norm.
[12:30] * icedwater nearly typed Corner casas.
[12:31] <dwu> icedwater: i don't let sng ignore corner cases, and i sure as hell won't let you :)
[12:31] * icedwater would like to go to Mexico.
[12:31] <sng> dwu: I get about a day with playing music and heavy use. I've gotten 2-3 with moderate use and no music.
[12:31] <dwu> mmm tequila body shots on nommy mexicans.
[12:31] <icedwater> sng: What phone do you use?
[12:31] <dwu> sng: i don't even play music on donna.
[12:31] <sng> icedwater: The newest gen iPhone.
[12:32] <icedwater> But you use the intarwebs.
[12:32] <sng> dwu: I know. :)
[12:32] <icedwater> sng: Phones shouldn't be used for music unless you're really, really bored... :P
[12:32] <dwu> icedwater: not all the time, if i want my battery to last a day.
[12:32] <icedwater> Ouch. Was it like that even when you first bought it?
[12:33] <sng> icedwater: Mine also happens to be my main media player. :)
[12:33] <dwu> well, yes, but it was always secondhand, you really think i can afford a first hand corpse phone? :)
[12:34] <icedwater> Hmm, right. Mine must be a shiny corpse then :P
[12:34] <dwu> duh.
[12:34] <dwu> my e61 was like 250.
[12:35] <icedwater> sng: Buy a media player, they're cheaper. And you can use your phone for more stuff, longer, like IRC :P
[12:35] <sng> icedwater: I used to have a phone, media player, and handheld gaming device. Since the longest I'm ever away from power is 8-12 hours the tradeoff in only having to lug around one device is *more* than worth it for me.

[17:09] * gento_ (n=utm-oss@95.205.48.60.jb02-home.tm.net.my) has joined #linuxnus
[17:10] <ruiwen> elfgoh1: essentially yeah i guess.. we can do one for them.. figure they don't have time to design one on their own
[17:13] <yq> ooo cool
[17:13] <yq> i hear the new jingle
[17:13] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: wikis, FF and OOo seems to be missing. Are they appropriate for the draft?
[17:14] <ruiwen> whose draft?
[17:14] <elfgoh1> the draft for the poster
[17:15] <ruiwen> wait wait.. the one that shing sent? or our own?
[17:15] <elfgoh1> The one that he sent
[17:16] <ruiwen> oh
[17:16] <elfgoh1> FF and OOo are deployed in CBLCs and thinklab i think
[17:16] <ruiwen> i think he doesn't consider them specific project initiatives
[17:16] <elfgoh1> ic
[17:16] <ruiwen> but i'm not sure
[17:16] <elfgoh1> They could have gone under " Other Tools in Use "
[17:17] <elfgoh1> and the deployment of SLED at OED also seems to be missing
[17:24] <elfgoh1> Should I give these input?
[17:25] <ruiwen> elfgoh1: ask in the thread maybe?
[17:25] <elfgoh1> yeap
[17:25] <ruiwen> yq: any suggestions for improvement for the podcast?
[17:26] <yq> my friend had some suggestions previously when he heard it
[17:26] <yq> when doing the jingle
[17:26] <yq> 1 thing was to have segments
[17:26] <yq> like 1.Interview... 2.Tech talk... 3. Blah blah 4. Blah
[17:32] * triplez (n=triplez@ad202.166.85.231.magix.com.sg) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[17:34] <ruiwen> yq: as in jingle for the individual segments?
[17:35] <yq> ruiwen: actually im not sure too. listeing to other podcasts for ideas
[17:37] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: oops
[17:37] <dwu> ruiwen: you could have a jingle for the podcast, and a transitiony thing for segments that you can reuse.
[17:38] <yq> ruiwen: but the draft podcast is only doing interviews right?
[17:39] <ruiwen> yq: as in?
[17:39] <yq> ruiwen: one way is to segment it into smaller parts and do the trasnitiony thingy that dwu mentioned
[17:39] <yq> as in like theres not so many segments to the podcast
[17:39] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: what about the history of LUGs in NUS? and opensource.nus.edu.sg as the portal for FOSS documentation?
[17:39] <ruiwen> yq: if we're talking about different topics in the podcast, then yeah i guess.. but otherwise segmenting an interview like in episode 3?
[17:40] <ruiwen> elfgoh1: we can add those in ourselves yes?
[17:40] <dwu> i thought the portal for oss documentation was, y'know, google.
[17:40] <yq> ruiwen: yeah i thought it is abit wierd to do that
[17:41] <ruiwen> yq: yup.. so i think we can do that when we start having different portions to the podcast
[17:41] <ruiwen> the segmenty-jingly bit
[17:41] <yq> yea
[17:42] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: ok
[17:42] <dwu> ruiwen: now-defunct, but you should still listen to lugradio. i think they have the nicest organisation of many podcasts.
[17:42] <dwu> (obviously listen to their later shows)
[17:42] <ruiwen> dwu: okie
[17:43] <ruiwen> dwu: did you know jono bacon is on FLOSS Weekly with Leo Laporte and Randal Schwartz now?
[17:43] <dwu> ruiwen: yeh, i'd heard.
[17:44] <dwu> dude moved to SF or LA or something.
[17:48] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: is it just me or does the SFD draft from Shing seems to have hardly anything on SoC?
[17:48] <dwu> is he an soc dude?
[17:49] <elfgoh1> dwu: no he isn't but it shouldn't matter
[17:49] <ruiwen> elfgoh1: i'm not sure how much in touch with SoC Shing is
[17:50] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: I see... i had understood it to be an writeup on NUS....
[17:50] <ruiwen> but i suppose we could ping our now favourite SoC admin, LZS
[17:50] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: do you think we should ping LZS? esp since we are on better terms with him now?
[17:50] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: great minds think alike
[17:50] <ruiwen> elfgoh1: well yeah.. i think it's NUS-as-far-as-Shing-knows
[17:51] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: lol ok
[17:51] <elfgoh1> ruiwen: will you be doing the honours?
[17:52] <elfgoh1> I haven't seen LZS blogged about the welcome tea yet... :p
[17:52] <ruiwen> elfgoh1: i'm not sure he will at all
[17:53] <ruiwen> elfgoh1: yeah i can ping him
[17:53] <ruiwen> probably later though
