  • <itnet7> pak33m: ping

    <chaynie> Assuming I'm able to go, I can probably house one person for the week.

    <cjohnston> Anyone interested in going to UDS who isn't sponsored, doctormo is putting together a list of people interested in staying next door to the hotel. It is a three room minimum, and if the rooms are double occ, its $180 for the week

    <cjohnston> Otherwise, stay at chaynie's house

    <MichelleQ> rofl

    <MichelleQ> I'd offer space, but we're pretty well booked already.

    <pak33m> itnet7: hey im here

    <cjohnston> yes.. good point itnet7

    <cjohnston> Questions?

    <chaynie> cjohnston: Are we still going to offer shuttle services to visitors?

    <cjohnston> I know nothing about that?

    <chaynie> I think I remember us talking about busing some people around if they weren't staying in the hotel, or wanted to see some of orlando.

    <chaynie> I could be wrong though.

    <itnet7> chaynie: at past UDS the were reimbursed for their cab fair, I think we should just try to bring larger vehicles and offer to drive people to evening events.

    <jtatum_w> hi

    <cjohnston> I don't remember that conversation.. I'm not sure about that...

    <itnet7> hey there jtatum_w !

    <chaynie> itnet7: ok that sounds familiar.

    <itnet7> that place was awesome

    <chaynie> itnet7: indeed.

    <chaynie> ok, anything else accommodation related before we give pak33m his 15 minutes of fame?

    <itnet7> oh

    <pak33m> and if i can contribute somewhere i will

    <Hamaliel> It's the 23 of Oct?

    <chaynie> itnet7: for me it depends on the venue. Price affects attendance.

    <cjohnston> itnet7: im off.. depends on if its somewhere i have tickets for

    <itnet7> chaynie: I know what you're saying

    <Hamaliel> itnet7: Time is a factor too...I generally work till 3 on Saturdays =\

    <itnet7> but if it's any consolation, he wanted to go to Disney at first, and that is a small fortune

  • cjohnston would rather disney

    <itnet7> cjohnston probably has season passes?

    <cjohnston> cheaper for me

    <itnet7> oh

    <cjohnston> no

    <cjohnston> just free tix

    <mhall119> same result

    <itnet7> That is why I didn't put the venue

    <itnet7> not the date the venue

  • itnet7 hates headcolds

    <Hamaliel> pak33m: Or use irc to communicate when it gets too loud on the rollercoasters...imagine the pictures that the park would get...

    <pak33m> duder youre dripping on the keyboard

    <itnet7> would riding on a roller coaster increase latency to the ap's?

    <Hamaliel> itnet7: I think there's a scholarly paper in there somewhere.

    <mhall119> Hamaliel: like http://xkcd.com/249/
