A lady struck up a conversation with me on an airplane.
* Her: "And where are you going?"
* Me: "I'm going to San Francisco to a UNIX convention."
* Her: "Eunuchs convention? I didn't know there were that many of you."Did you have the balls to go along with her misunderstanding?
:-D Nice pun.
The joke comes from http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_comeagain.shtml
Sorry for the OT.

Note to self: never mention unix to strangers, use the term Linux.

]]>Huber: Indeed, we are planning on running the bug squashing session concurrently with an online bug squashing. My plan is to put the IRC channel on a big screen so that people at ArchCon can see what the rest of the world has to say. I am also hoping to have a video feed of the room so that people around the world can see what's going on at ArchCon, but nobody's stepped up to do anything like that, and I don't think I have the tech to do it (unless it's possible to stream video from an android phone?)

Somewhere in that there are at least two "yo dawg, I heard you like bugs" jokes.

This would be my first Arch Linux Bug Squashing, but I hope that you will find something trivial for me to do :-) I can edit simple PKGBUILDs and I'm willing to learn, Maybe someone could take me by the hand ...
Cheers.

Same here, looking forward to it. Of course that means I should probably work on my presentations.
Yeah, don't mention it, still have to do that as well

It'd be cooler if you could attend the actual conference though. If I thought we were going to have an excess of money, I'd consider offering discounts for volunteer work (man the registration desk, set up tables, help distribute food, that kind of thing), but at the moment, I think things are going to be pretty tight. If it looks like we can afford this, I'll let you know.
I saw the "ArchCon 2010 Organizing in full swing" post on the blog it says you are asking for helpers, and I figure now is the "closer to the date" time that I should buy you again about these stuff. So, is there anything I could do?
I should note that I have a class from 6-9PM on the 22nd, though I guess I should be able to skip it or something if there's no test that day and I'm doing well in the class.
