| [00:00] <Nairwolf> don't know nothing about that... | |
| [00:00] <Kamilion> their english grammar was poor, thus they were very easy to spot for a while. | |
| [00:01] <Nairwolf> ah ah ;) | |
| [00:01] <Kamilion> after all this time, I can normally identify a person's country of origin by how they choose to type | |
| [00:01] <Kamilion> and the mistakes they make | |
| [00:02] <Nairwolf> nice skill ! Tell me how you write, I'll tell you where you from ! | |
| [00:02] <Nairwolf> And, you, were you from, USA ? | |
| [00:02] <Kamilion> California. Almost the same, but not quite ;) | |
| [00:02] <Nairwolf> Oh, nice ;) I'm going to California this summer for three months | |
| [00:03] <Kamilion> silicon valley? | |
| [00:03] <Nairwolf> yes, for an internship | |
| [00:03] <Kamilion> I'm nearby San Jose. | |
| [00:03] <Nairwolf> do you work here ? | |
| [00:04] <Kamilion> I work in campbell, slightly west of san jose | |
| [00:04] <Kamilion> Well, when you're in town, poke me on IRC and I'll provide a beverage of your choice. | |
| [00:05] <Kamilion> we have a wonderful mass transit system | |
| === aaron__ is now known as ahoneybun | |
| [00:05] <Nairwolf> oh, nice, I will tell you ;) | |
| [00:06] <Nairwolf> It will be nice to meet nice guys there ! | |
| [00:09] <Kamilion> If you're looking for people to meet, there's a place in Mountain View called Hacker Dojo. Sometimes they have events; and there's a lot of cool people to meet at those. | |
| [00:09] <Kamilion> most of the other times, you'll find people using the building as an office | |
| [00:09] <Kamilion> and there's nothing interesting going on | |
| [00:10] <Kamilion> but they have a corkboard/bulletin board which is useful to check from time to time, or post something on. | |
| [00:10] <Kamilion> and I mean that in the physical sense | |
| [00:11] <Nairwolf> okay, I'll see that ;) | |
| [00:13] <Nairwolf> Now, I'm making the application Visa. | |
| [00:13] <Nairwolf> Then, I'll search also for a room | |
| [00:13] <Nairwolf> Where is the sillicon valley exactly ? | |
| [00:14] <Nairwolf> All this cities around San José are inside the sillicon valley ? | |
| [00:14] <Kamilion> yeah | |
| [00:14] <Kamilion> lemme take a screenshot of google maps for you | |
| [00:16] <Nairwolf> thanks | |
| [00:17] <Kamilion> http://puu.sh/hK1a6/e210749a7f.jpg | |
| [00:18] <Nairwolf> what would you show me exactly ? Because I've seen Campbell. What are these stars ? | |
| [00:18] <Kamilion> this whole thin | |
| [00:19] <Kamilion> this is silicon valley | |
| [00:19] <Kamilion> all the way down from san francisco to the bottom tip of san jose | |
| [00:19] <Kamilion> san mateo, redwood city, palo alto, cupertino, sunnyvale, mountain view, san jose, santa clara, campbell, los gatos, los altos | |
| [00:20] <Kamilion> but this whole ring of freeways you see here | |
| [00:20] <Kamilion> this is the "bay area" also known as "silicon valley" | |
| [00:20] <Nairwolf> yes, I see ;) | |
| [00:20] <Nairwolf> very impressive | |
| [00:21] <Kamilion> there is a two-story diesel train that runs from the east tip of san francisco "San francisco caltrain station" to south san jose called Caltrain | |
| [00:21] <Kamilion> another electric tram called BART between oakland, san francisco, and millbrae | |
| [00:21] <Kamilion> which connects with caltrain | |
| [00:22] <Kamilion> and four bus services, MUNI in san francisco, AC transit in san mateo and redwood city, Samtrans, and VTA in the southern area | |
| [00:22] <Nairwolf> okay, nice ;) | |
| [00:23] <Nairwolf> I will be around Milpitas | |
| [00:23] <Kamilion> the easiest way to get around is by mass transit, but it takes some time | |
| [00:23] <Kamilion> (the stars are places I've bookmarked in google( | |
| [00:23] <Nairwolf> ah, it's that, okay ;) | |
| [00:24] <Kamilion> there's something around 6 million people in the south area alone | |
| [00:24] <Nairwolf> by the way, I will not have other choice to use mass transit | |
| [00:24] <Nairwolf> impressive ;) | |
| [00:24] <Kamilion> yeah, I figured. | |
| [00:25] <ianorlin> at least it isn't LA without a car | |
| [00:25] <Nairwolf> and I always live in countryside ;) | |
| [00:25] <Kamilion> the two bridges in the center have no real mass transit links | |
| [00:25] <Kamilion> so unfortunately, you're stuck going around the water the long way | |
| [00:25] <Kamilion> your best bet for finding housing for working in milpitas is in fremont | |
| [00:26] <Kamilion> and there is a BART station in both milpitas and fremont | |
| [00:26] <Kamilion> milpitas is the end of the line for bart in the southgoing direction | |
| [00:26] <Nairwolf> okay, thanks, I'll check this | |
| [00:26] <Kamilion> so the only link between san jose to the south and milpitas to the north is by bus | |
| [00:27] <Kamilion> BART uses dedicated tracks; the bus gets caught in traffic. | |
| [00:29] <Nairwolf> okay, nice for all this Kamilion ;) I would like to speak with you more, but, I really need go to bed ;) | |
| [00:29] <Kamilion> I'm normally around if you highlight me unless I'm sleeping. | |
| [00:29] <Nairwolf> I hope to see you next time on IRC | |
| [00:29] <Kamilion> I deal with python and hardware | |
| [00:29] <Kamilion> anytime o/ | |
| [00:30] <Nairwolf> oh, nice, I like python ;) | |
| [00:31] <Nairwolf> I don't know exactly what I will do in my internship, but it's about 2D and 3D transform in C++, CSS, Javascript, and OpenGLES. I hope it will be great ;) | |
| [00:31] <Nairwolf> In fact, about Lubuntu, you're one of the devs ? | |
| [00:31] <Kamilion> ah, llvm and opencl will be friends of yours then | |
| [00:32] <Kamilion> nah, I'm not qualified to be labeled developer yet | |
| [00:32] <Kamilion> scripter, yes, dabbler, yes, programmer, no, developer, no. | |
| [00:32] <Kamilion> I am a relative newcomer to programming; but deep hardware knowledge from working in embedded systems | |
| [00:33] <Kamilion> but I have recently joined the lubuntu-qa team | |
| [00:33] <Kamilion> plus I use lubuntu for the base of my own project: https://github.com/kamilion/kamikazi-deploy | |
| [00:34] <Nairwolf> okay, I think that melodie has already spoke me about you | |
| [00:34] <Kamilion> short short description: I got sick of vmware and not being able to change settings locally | |
| [00:34] <Kamilion> so i put some virtualization packages on a lubuntu iso | |
| [00:34] <Kamilion> now I use it instead of vmware's free ESXi | |
| [00:35] <Kamilion> (the one they're getting sued for GPL violations) | |
| [00:35] <Nairwolf> okay, nice ;) It seems to be a great project ;) | |
| [00:36] <Nairwolf> I'm sorry, I really need to go, I've lessons tomorrow ;) And also, I will meet rms ;) | |
| [00:37] <Kamilion> good luck, have fun | |
| [00:37] * Kamilion pushes you out the door :) | |
| [00:37] <Nairwolf> thanks ;) See you ;) | |
