        Hi everyone! Been a while !
      • aidanlw17
        ruaok: okay, I was looking for some tickets last night. Can you clarify what the best dates are? There are some flights overnight, and arriving Friday morning (the 27th)
      • Should I be looking to arrive the 27th and leave the 29th or should I give more time on either side?
      • ruaok
        spellew: you coming to the summit?
      • aidanlw17: all flights are going to be overnight, with the exception of one. And you're hopefully not going to london. :)
      • Darkloke has quit
      • do you have restrictions for how long you can be gone?
      • Mr_Monkey: welcome back. have you registered for the mentor summit yet?
      • if not, that should be your first order of business.
      • second order of business would be filling out the eval forms.
      • Mr_Monkey
        I'm filling it as we speak
      • Yep, also on my list for today
      • ruaok
        third order of business is to go have lunch with me this week. 😆
      • Mr_Monkey
        Yay !
      • Business is good
      • Thursday?
      • ruaok
        should work ok.
      • aidanlw17
        ruaok: yeah I would like to fly out of Toronto, I will be in school there so it would be very easy. if need be I can travel to elsewhere
      • ruaok
        oh, that makes it much easier.
      • phew.
      • aidanlw17
        I don’t have a real restriction on the time I can be gone
      • ruaok
        so, lets go for max time then. :)
      • aidanlw17
        Just have school, and will be willing to play catch-up
      • Yeah! Sounds good :)
      • ruaok
      • there is a stop on the way back, but you fly Lufthansa, which is nice.
      • Mr_Monkey: preferences on how to get to MUC? I hear monkeys do well on cargo trains. lots of climbing opportunities.
      • or you could be a weak sauce monkey and fly...
      • Mr_Monkey
        Haven't really thought about it yet. Give me an hour?
      • ruaok
        I'll have a recommendation sooner.
      • aidanlw17
        ruaok: yeah that one looks good, I’m not picky about stopping. It’s fairly cheap compared to most others that I saw yesterday.
      • ruaok
        unless you wish to spend extra time in MUC.
      • aidanlw17: dates are ok?
      • aidanlw17
        You said about 500$ for the flight would be covered, do you mean CAD or euro?
      • And also for accommodation/food, for what days are expenses paid?
      • ruaok
        aidanlw17, spellew, Mr_Monkey: send me your date of birth, full legal name, passport number and passport expiration date in email.
      • aidanlw17: we cover the GSoC students, so no worries.
      • the airbnbs are booked from the 25th -> 1st. we'll cover all the means, except perhaps the very first evening.
      • Darkloke joined the channel
      • aidanlw17
        Okay, thank you ruaok. I’ll send that stuff asap, what’s your email?
      • ruaok
        rob@
      • aidanlw17
        Ok!
      • I’m just going to check over my school week calendar and then get back to you on the dates.
      • ruaok

      • Mr_Monkey: can you please re-submit your info in an ISO-8601 compliant manner??
      • 🤣
      • Mr_Monkey
        Sure thing
      • alastairp
        > Plane and crew by Air Canada Rouge
      • :(
      • ruaok
        alastairp: is that bad?
      • alastairp
        don't fly Rouge if at all possible
      • ruaok
        Vueling of Canada.
      • alastairp
        it's AC's budget brand
      • ruaok
        oh dear.
      • ok, time to reconsider that.
      • alastairp
        but I suspect that's going to be one of the only direct carriers. even Transat (yuck) has to go through Montreal
      • ruaok
        ha, and I thought I was doing a good thing by avoiding airtransat.
      • alastairp

      • ruaok
        you've lived in spain too long. :)
      • Mr_Monkey
        I just wanted to one-up your ISO
      • ruaok
        well, dome.
      • done.
      • Mr_Monkey
        Notice the 6-digit ±YYYYYY.
      • aidanlw17
        I also saw some that go Toronto - Montreal - Barcelon
      • Mr_Monkey
        Ahh, who said geeks don't know how to have fun?
      • aidanlw17
        Barcelona
      • ruaok
        Mr_Monkey: I did. and WTAF is that going to be used for? time-capsules?
      • Mr_Monkey
        And negative dates
      • ruaok
      • Mr_Monkey has javascript dates PTSD
      • leaving a day later. american is the worst of the bunch there. otherwise a 13 hour layover in DUB, which is kinda dumb.
      • Mr_Monkey: so, I dunno what is happening in MUC/BCN on those dates, but catching a return flight on a sunday after the gsoc proceedings are done is ... not smart travel.
      • given that Meb traiditionally pays for an extra night of hotel, you could spend an extra day in MUC and then fly a convenient flight home in the afternoon.
      • Mr_Monkey
        I don't mind staying an extra day or two. I was just pondering that while looking at the hotel
      • ruaok
        do that.
      • book the three days with google's instructions.
      • then book the last night on your own and invoice it.
      • Mr_Monkey: I'd suggest this: https://flights.app.goo.gl/CuCb1
      • Mr_Monkey
        ruaok: I'm also looking at my travel options from Paris, just in case
      • I would make train travel more appealing
      • ruaok
        I was about to say that.
      • alastairp
        aidanlw17: have you flown Transat before?
      • ruaok
        even I know to avoid that.
      • classic shortcut airline that also doesn't skimp on safety.
      • alastairp
        hi Mr_Monkey! welcome back
      • Mr_Monkey
        Hi alastairp !
      • ruaok
        I have a 6er of empty beer bottles for you two in the office.
      • do you still collect bottles?
      • alastairp
        I only make ring bottles collect
      • make ring? ring
      • yes, sure
      • ruaok
        wut?
      • alastairp
        ruaok: I'm being more careful about the amount of carbonation sugar now, many others that are coming good to drink are a bit fizzy
      • we weren't making good notes on how much we added, I've fixed that
      • ruaok
        ah, ok.
      • alastairp
        it was supposed to be a joke about collect calls, but it didn't come out very well
      • ruaok
        I wonder if the heat makes it worse, up until being chilled?
      • wow. collect calls. been eons since I've heard that term.
      • alastairp
        heat is going to make it make the bubbles more quickly, but theoretically there's so little sugar in there that it should all be gone by the time you drink it, regardless of temperature
      • Mr_Monkey
        Having brought a crate of homebrew in the desert, I didn't see much difference after 3 weeks of 35+°
      • alastairp
        (I think)
      • Mr_Monkey: how was nowhere? (how was the beer?)
      • Mr_Monkey
        Nowhere was great, made all the better by avoiding Dia lager and replacing it with homebrews !
      • alastairp
        great!
      • Mr_Monkey
        I had a blast !
      • alastairp
        I've been drinking the second batch of CYP, it's pretty amazing (but just a bit too fizzy)
      • Mr_Monkey
        Mmm, we had the same fizziness issue on the first batch. Something to look into. Maybe changing the yeast?
      • alastairp
        nah, first thing to try is less sugar when bottling
      • ruaok
        deffo less sugar.
      • not the yeast's fault it was overfed.
      • alastairp
        ruaok has turn australian
      • ruaok
        I learned deffo from a brit.
      • aidanlw17
        alastairp: never flown transat, is it good or bad?
      • ruaok
        bad.
      • alastairp
        huh. google says it's british slang. I was sure that it was aus
