[03:49] !LoRez:*! Apologies for the huge netsplits.  Our .eu hub has decided to drop off the face of the earth.  I've routed around it for now.  Thanks for using freenode!
[07:33] <_ion> Sigh, away nicks.
[07:33] <_ion> And flooding the channel with "is on, is off" messages.
[07:33] <_ion> johnnybuoy: I would really appreciate you turning off the "is on, iss off" spam and away nicks.
[07:33] <johnnybuoy> I have, now
[07:33] <johnnybuoy> sorry for that
[07:33] <_ion> Thanks a lot.
[07:33] <johnnybuoy> I know every channel I was logged onto wants my skin...
[07:33] <johnnybuoy> and I can understande that...
[07:34] <_ion> IRC has an "away" feature. Whoever is interested of your away status can /whois you, or add you to her notify list.
[07:37] <johnnybuoy_> okay, I think I have disabled that sux thing now
[07:37] <johnnybuoy_> _ion| as I have to everyone, I say sorry!
[07:37] <johnnybuoy_> I have enerved many many ppl...
[07:37] <johnnybuoy_> :(
[07:38] <_ion> The actual away feature never sends anything to any channel. I recommend using that.
[07:38] <johnnybuoy_> yes
[07:38] <johnnybuoy_> _ion| I don't really ned to use it, right
[07:38] <johnnybuoy_> is this the idle thing?
[07:40] <Keybuk> *sigh* people still use dircproxy
[07:40] <Keybuk> heh
[07:40] <Keybuk> trivia for amusement value ...
[07:41] <Keybuk> upstart uses the dircproxy networking layer to communicate with initctl
[07:41] <johnnybuoy_> heh
[07:41] <_ion> johnnybuoy: Let's not continue this discussion on this channel, it's offtopic. The command is 'away': /away message when you leave and /away without parameters when you come back. dircproxy, which you seem to be using, probably supports setting that automatically based on whether you're connected.
[07:41] <johnnybuoy_> wtf?
[07:41] <johnnybuoy_> :D
[07:41] <johnnybuoy_> okay
[07:41] <johnnybuoy_> thx
[07:42] <johnnybuoy_> upstart uses the dircproxy networking layer to communicate with initctl  <-- wtf? :D
[07:44] <Keybuk> johnnybuoy: it's true
[07:44] <Keybuk> modified after five years of experience, of course
[07:44] <Keybuk> but I see no point throwing away something that worked
[07:44] <Keybuk> I got it reasonably right back then
[07:44] <Keybuk> and it got genericified into libnih
[07:48] <johnnybuoy> Keybuk| wow, that's amazing.
[07:48] <johnnybuoy> is dircproxy in any way special?
[07:49] <Keybuk> "special" ?
[08:01] <johnnybuoy> is it still doing it?
[08:01] <Keybuk> not sure I understand what you mean?
[08:01] <johnnybuoy> well, I guess if you included some messaging code from it to upstart it must have something "specual" ..
[08:02] <Keybuk> not particularly
[08:02] <Keybuk> I just wrote it, that's all
[08:02] <Keybuk> so when I needed async networking code for upstart, there was no point writing it *again*
[08:02] <Keybuk> I already had the code
[08:43] <Artanicus> theres only one cure for away nicks, ignore d:
