[21:19] cakeaz  i am not looking for work currently
[21:19] toddc   due being out of town that is about all I have dennisk did you have anything?
[21:19] xHans   ok
[21:20] cakeaz  the school i am in is paid for by the DES through the TAA program
[21:20] xHans   TAA?
[21:20] dennisk Hans said it. Classes start at MCC tomorrow.
[21:20] cakeaz  if i start working i will have to pay for it myself and its quite expensive
[21:20] spinrage        cake, i live up near deer valley airport.
[21:20] cakeaz  Federal Trade Assistance Act
[21:20] cakeaz  my job was moved overseas
[21:20] xHans   ah
[21:21] cakeaz  extended unemployment benifits basicly which includes up to $20k of re-employment training.
[21:21] toddc   note we have been wanting to get a ubuntu hour started up there! hint hint
[21:21] Eric-A  that sucks
[21:21] xHans   could that training be done at a community college?
[21:21] cakeaz  its paying for this class and unemployment during
[21:21] cakeaz  its a very comprehensive class lots of hands on
[21:22] cakeaz  very small class of only 5 people
[21:22] xHans   not trying to convince you to mover, rather trying to find out if we should contact DES about our classes
[21:22] cakeaz  so lots of face time with our professor
[21:23] cakeaz  its a Linux/Mysql admin class
[21:23] cakeaz  9 weeks in so far
[21:23] toddc   I need to unload car so I will be back later see every one later
[21:23] xHans   that's a lot to teach in 9 weeks
[21:24] cakeaz  its a 9 month course hans
[21:24] cakeaz  i am only 9 weeks in
[21:24] Eric-A  later todd
[21:24] xHans   oops, internal unit mismatch
[21:24] cakeaz  finishing up in april-may of 12
[21:24] xHans   9 months is more reasonable
[21:24] cakeaz  yes
[21:25] xHans   especially if you're experimenting on your own
[21:25] cakeaz  9 weeks would be ridic
[21:26] dennisk Good luck, cakeaz. Gotta run.
[21:26] dennisk bye all
[21:26] <--|    dennisk has left #Ubuntu-US-AZ
[21:26] Eric-A  gotta run also, see ya'll later
[21:26] cakeaz  i look forward to the 28th

[21:27] cakeaz  perhaps bring a classmate or 2
[21:27] xHans   cakeaz: if you have time and want to cross town, come to Stammtisch Tuesday night
[21:27] cakeaz  I am not sure i can make tues night
[21:28] cakeaz  heavy class load during the week
[21:28] cakeaz  can deff do sat
[21:28] cakeaz  thats an awfuly long drive for a short meeting in the worst traffic
[21:29] xHans   yeah, didn't think it was likely
[21:29] xHans   having made that drive, it's 50 miles one way
[21:29] cakeaz  and funds are tight on my current budget
[21:29] cakeaz  sorry
[21:29] xHans   no prob
[21:29] cakeaz  i would love to but its just not feasable for me atm
[21:30] xHans   I let people know there are things out there, they decide if they can participate
[21:30] cakeaz  nice, thank you.
[21:31] cakeaz  i have a long history of personal pc usage dating back 25 years
[21:31] cakeaz  just only recently been doing it for a living
[21:32] xHans   now's a good time to start, lots of jobs in the industry
[21:32] cakeaz  i have taken quite a liking to linux
[21:32] cakeaz  love the granularity of it compared to windows
[21:33] cakeaz  its a bit more high maint to start off and the amount of control is truly dizzying
[21:33] xHans   link for ABLEconf meeting Tuesday night: http://www.ABLEconf.com/node/102
[21:33] cakeaz  but so far i am enjoying the challenge
[21:34] xHans   I think it's lower maintenance to start since I don't have to spend lots of time updating to eliminate zero day holes and updating anti-virus, etc
[21:34] cakeaz  i tried contacting folks at the PLUG website but never got any responses
[21:35] cakeaz  i am glad i stubled upon you all.
[21:35] cakeaz  i found someone talking about you all in the craigslist linux forums
[21:35] cakeaz  checked out your website and saw you had an IRC meeting for tonight.
[21:36] cakeaz  been many years since i had IRC installed. had to dust it off
[21:37] cakeaz  takes me back to the days i was in the GCC high tech centers on the old WYSE terminals in the pods
[21:39] cakeaz  what do you do for work Hans do you mind if i ask?
[21:39] xHans   cakeaz: did you join the PLUG mailing list?
[21:40] cakeaz  I emailed them but never got a response
[21:40] xHans   is the PLUG chairman
[21:40] xHans   emailed where?
[21:40] cakeaz  on the plug website
[21:40] cakeaz  i tried contacting 2 months ago back in august
[21:40] cakeaz  i guess almost 3 months ago
[21:41] xHans   do you know which email address?
[21:41] cakeaz  i think i finaly got accepted to the linked in page last month but there has not been much activity on there
[21:41] xHans   the only contact info that should be on the web site is for the mailing lists and those are self-subscribing
[21:41] xHans   well, there should also be info about our IRC channel
[21:42] cakeaz  i am not sure
[21:43] xHans   actually, I see a contact@, not sure where that goes
[21:43] cakeaz  i used the contact us link
[21:43] cakeaz  and entered my name and email address
[21:43] cakeaz  never recieved any corespondance
[21:43] cakeaz  the Inquires about PLUG
[21:45] xHans   hmmm, no idea where that goes
[21:45] xHans   will take some wet noodles to ABLEconf/Stammtisch Tuesday night for interrogating our web guy
[21:45] cakeaz  well that is what i did
[21:45] cakeaz  haha
[21:45] xHans   ok, thanks for letting me know
[21:46] cakeaz  i was refered to PLUG by a gentleman from the Apollo group
[21:46] cakeaz  i did a phone interview with him one time and he seemed very nice and knowledgeable
[21:46] xHans   cool
[21:46] xHans   who was it?
[21:46] cakeaz  said he refers all his admins to plug
[21:47] cakeaz  i am trying to remember
[21:47] xHans   most excellent
[21:47] xHans   Ryan?
[21:47] cakeaz  it was back in july
[21:47] cakeaz  i remember he works in a dept where they do buildout from start to finish for sales i believe
[21:48] cakeaz  they maintain all their own stuff
[21:48] cakeaz  sepperate from the NOC/SOC
[21:48] xHans   interesting, will have to ask around
[21:49] cakeaz  it might have been ryan
[21:50] xHans   I need to call him anyway, just need to remember to ask him about that group
[21:51] cakeaz  do you work in IT?
[21:51] xHans   yup
[21:52] xHans   I also teach the GNU/Linux classes over at Mesa Community College, which is why I wanted to know if we can get DES to send some people our way
[21:52] cakeaz  It has to be approved through Arizona Heat
[21:52] xHans   Arizona Heat?
[21:53] cakeaz  which http://www.ade.az.gov/arizonaheat/default1.asp
[21:54] cakeaz  this is what you are looking for
[21:54] cakeaz  http://azppse.state.az.us/
[21:54] cakeaz  i believe all the Community colleges are in there
[21:55] cakeaz  how in depth is your gnu linux class at MCC?
[21:55] xHans   we have 4 main classes and several electives
[21:56] xHans   the main classes give you 16 weeks of sysadm, then also 8 weeks of scripting and 8 weeks of security
[21:57] xHans   for you, you'd look at Randy Larson's program at Estrella Mountain Community College as that's only pretty far away rather than really far away
[21:57] scott_ev        damn, I forgot again. someone needs to call me
[21:57] scott_ev        ...
[21:58] cakeaz  what shall we call you?
