[08:40] <Pygi> hi hi
[09:03] <Pygi> hehe
[07:46] <troy> morning folks
[08:00] <Valandil> hi troy  :-)
[08:01] <troy> Valandil: I'm curious about the origin of your nick?
[08:03] <Valandil> why?
[08:04] <Valandil> ah, You like to know, where it comes from?
[08:04] <Valandil>  (sorry, my English is not great ;)
[08:04] <troy> yes :)
[08:05] <troy> and your English is "Good Enough(TM)"
[08:05] <troy> probably good enough to make University entrance requirements here in Canada anyway
[08:06] <Valandil> OK, if You say it ;-)
[08:06] <Valandil> My name comes from the fact, "chrys" is already registered
[08:06] <troy> oh, hahaha :)
[08:06] <Valandil> so I took the name, an "elven name Generator" gave as Output of the name "chrys"
[08:07] <Valandil> :-)
[08:07] <troy> cool - it looked 'elven' which is why I asked :)
[08:07] <Valandil> I play lots of "Live Action Role Play" and I only play elven Characters
[08:08] <Valandil> #:-))
[08:08] <troy> live action, with costumes and swords and such?
[08:08] <Valandil> yes, exactly
[08:09] <Valandil> I'm a bard, a musician
[08:09] <troy> do you have any instruments to play in costume?
[08:10] <Valandil> yes, I play a guitar-like old instrument, some irish tin-whistle, and a schottish warpipe
[08:10] <Valandil> cool :-)
[08:10] <Valandil> which system?
[08:11] <troy> depends who I'm playing with - sometimes D&D, sometimes simply roleplaying without rulesets
[08:12] <troy> there's a large group in my city here that does live action events, but I don't usually attend (my costume needs a little work)
[08:13] <Valandil> :-)
[08:13] <Valandil> if you're interested in photos:
[08:13] <Valandil> http://www.druidenhain.org/LARP/Bilder/05/A3-sunset/Sunset2.htm
[08:13] <Valandil> is is from an event we organized
[08:14] <Valandil> the third photo on the right side is me :)
[08:14] <Valandil> but nowerdays, the beard is gone :)
[08:20] <troy> http://tblog.ath.cx/troy/images/jiilik.png
[08:22] <Valandil> :-)
[08:22] <Valandil> looks good :)
[08:22] <Valandil> but I prefer the longbow ;)
[08:23] <troy> My bow isn't in that picture - I can't wear the quiver and the cape at the same time - they interfere with each other
[08:24] <Valandil> *giggle* Yes, I can imagine
[08:25] <Valandil> my blog is coming soon. The domain-owner is learning for exam, so I have to wait a litte
[08:25] <troy> tblog.ath.cx/troy is mine - I use that domain since it's free, and I can point it to my dynamic IP :)
[08:26] <Valandil> :-)
[08:26] <Valandil> mine is chrys.littlecornerofthe.net
[08:27] <Valandil> but joerg is still in leraning...
[08:27] <troy> what software do you use?
[08:27] <Valandil> for blogging? or which I work with?
[08:29] <troy> blogging
[08:31] <Valandil> hmmm, I think, Joerg has set up a kind of wiki
[08:32] <Valandil> since I have a systemaccount, I can set up this wiki as readonly
[08:32] <Valandil> perhaps it's not very elegant, but it's quick ans dirty ;-)
[08:33] <troy> I see - hrmm, I wrote my own software for all my stuff - it can sort of do wiki, see http://tblog.ath.cx/wiki/
[08:35] <troy> that wiki hasn't been used in some time - I don't think are are any links anywhere on the net that lead to it :)
[08:38] <Valandil> looks interesting
[08:38] <Valandil> hi Pygi , hi mgalvin
[08:38] <Valandil> :)
[08:38] <Valandil> troy: me, I'm not good in web-programming
[08:39] <mgalvin> hi Valandil, hi all :)
[08:39] <Valandil> I like servers and consoles :-))
[08:39] <Pygi> Hi hi all
[08:39] <mgalvin> hey mario
[08:39] <Pygi> hey matt
[08:40] <Pygi> any progress with your instant-server? :)
[08:40] <mgalvin> eh, been to busy to think about it, maybe eventually, but not right now
[08:40] <Pygi> heh
[08:41] <mgalvin> gotta pay those bills first ;)
[08:41] <Pygi> hehe
[08:41] <Pygi> so troy, what's up in this channel? ;)
[08:45] <Pygi> heh, troy sleeps
[08:46] <Valandil> ;)
[08:52] <Pygi> welcome eric
[08:52] <eric> thank you
[08:53] <eric> how is everyone
[08:54] <Pygi> ah, everyone is mostly busy :P
[08:55] <eric> ic
[08:55] <Pygi> but still, if you need any help, fire away :)
[08:55] <eric> well I am making my first attempt at setting up a server
[08:55] <eric> dont really know what I am doing yet
[08:55] <Pygi> ah :)
[08:56] <eric> not much in the wiki
[08:56] <Pygi> ah, well, ok, so what you did?
[08:56] <Pygi> installed core server?
[08:56] <eric> working on it
[08:56] <Pygi> kk
[08:56] <Pygi> great
[08:57] <eric> Do you know much about VPN
[08:57] <eric> that would be my ultimate goal
[08:57] <Pygi> ah, good
[08:58] <eric> The box I am doing the install on was running XP and I had Apache on it as a web server, just tired of all the security concerns
[08:58] <Pygi> hehe ::)
[08:59] <eric> so what has your experiance been with ubuntu server
[09:00] <eric> still partitioning
[09:01] <eric> the simple server looks interesteing
[09:09] <Pygi> I installed a couple of ubuntu servers
[09:11] <troy> just going through amarok and manually retagging songs that have typos in the tags, etc.
[09:12] <Pygi> heh, you just woke up :)
[09:14] <troy> nah - I've recently done OS reinstalls for a few family members and took the opportunity to help myself to their MP3 collections - now I have to resort and tag them all to bring them up to par with my existing pile
[09:14] <troy> takes a long time
[09:14] <troy> and I'm ignoring wma files for now - amarok 1.3 doesn't index them (1.4 does, but still too unstable)
[09:15] <Pygi> heh
[09:16] <eric> I found that rythembox likes wma just fine
[09:17] <troy> well, the wma files work fine, it's the tag support that's lacking
[09:17] <troy> which is in the svn version of amarok, and I can install if I'd like, but not worth it :)
[09:17] <eric> mmm I think mine were already tagged
[09:18] <troy> amarok 1.3 doesn't read/write wma tags at all
[09:18] <eric> I just know when I pulled all of wma off my server into rythembox everthing was labble properly
[09:18] <troy> I only have about 100 wma files, compared to several thousand mp3 and oggs, so I'll just ignore them
[09:19] <troy> and when amarok 1.4 is released, JRiddel usually packages it for kubuntu right away
[09:19] <eric> not a problem then
[09:19] <eric> so how hare is it to setup a VPN on ubuntu
[09:20] <eric> I am seeing a lot of complaints in the forums
[09:20] <troy> depends what kind of VPN? tunnelling?
[09:23] <eric> I dont know much about it I just want to have all of my computers on the same network with a secure login even the windows machines, and I want to be able to acess all of the files from the net
[09:24] <eric> any suggestions
[09:25] <troy> eric: probably samba
[09:26] <troy> over tunnelled ip
[09:26] <troy> for unix computers you can NFS mount /home, which I find is usually the best solution
[09:26] <troy> but when adding windows to the picture, *shrugs* I don't use windows ever
[09:29] <eric> I dont personally but I have to professionally
