RichEdoh .... and what is the standard recommended drying time for a dishwashed keyboard ?02:25
crimsuna day02:25
crimsunprobably shorter if you leave it in a warm (not hot), sunny area02:25
crimsunor you can use the hairdryer method for an hour02:26
cbx33it was in the airing cupboard.....but that obviously wan't enough ;)02:26

highvoltagenot really.11:34
highvoltageI want to burn DVD's!@!11:34
highvoltage^_^11:34
pygiuh, well, we didn't implement dvd yet ^_^11:35
highvoltageyet...11:35
pygiwell, ofcourse :P Everything will be here one day, especially if I can get some books (which I doubt, but oh well)11:35
highvoltageI can't remember when last I needed to burn a multi-session disc. why do people still do it?11:35
highvoltagelike yellow books and orange books? ;)11:35
=== Burgundavia [n=corey@S0106000fb085cc63.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #edubuntu
pygihighvoltage: indeed :P11:36
pygihighvoltage: get me one :P11:36
pygihighvoltage: actually, entire set of rainbow books is even better =)11:38
pygihighvoltage: for example, sivang wanna use multi-session for backup storing in HUB11:38
=== pygi pings to see if he's online ?!
pygieverything is so quiet11:43
=== Kamping_Kaiser waves to pygi
pygioh, nice, thanks :P11:44
Kamping_Kaiser:P11:44
highvoltagepygi: sorry, busy with other work atm, not meaning to ignore you!11:54
pygihighvoltage: don't worry ^_^11:54
highvoltagepygi: isn't the rainbow books publicly available?11:54
highvoltageor can't you buy them somewhere?11:54
pygihighvoltage: well, I can probably buy them, but 5000$ is a lot for just red book for example ^_^11:54
highvoltagewow11:55
highvoltageperhaps you should get all the pricing and have a fundraiser for all the books.11:55
pygiheh, I doubt anybody would donate anything :P11:55
highvoltagea lot of people are interested in libburn, I'm sure many would sponsor11:56
highvoltageperhaps you could even ask FSF to help out. you might have to call it gnu libburn :)11:56
pygilol 11:56
pygiit's interesting actually, altought many people seem to be interested in libburn, none wants to get involved with anything11:56
highvoltageI think it might be because the type of people who would be interested in it, are already hectically busy in so many other projects11:57
pygidunno really, but it's already going very nice11:58
pygibut I'm constantly rushing into points where I really need those books11:58
pygicurrently I'm reading MMC specs drafts, and such things which at some points aren't even correct11:58
highvoltagepygi: if I install a new usplas theme, do you know what I need to do to get it in my initrd too? i installed a new usplash theme but the old one still shows when I boot up.12:00
highvoltageand somehow i forgot how to use mkinitrd :/12:00
pygiyou can use that tool that Seveas wrote for changing usplash themes12:01
pygihighvoltage: http://www.kaarsemaker.net/files/Software/usplash-switcher.c12:02
highvoltageAt the time of writing, the cost as per the relevant Philips order form (document no. 28/10/04-3122 783 0027 2) is US$5000.12:02
pygiupdate-alternatives and update-initramfs otherwise, I think12:02
highvoltageomg12:02
pygihighvoltage: and that is only one book :-/12:03
highvoltagepygi: aaah, update-initramfs is what I'm looking for, I was still looking for the old fasioned tools12:03
highvoltageperhaps you should write to philips and explain them what you are working on, and that sending the books to you would be seen as a sponsorship of the project?12:03
highvoltagewhile you're at it, ask them to send you a bunch of drives too ;)12:04
pygiI can try, that's true, but I'm not Joerg or anyone else so I could do that12:04
pygiAndy and Joerg have access to pre-pre-pre prototype drives, all the specs, etc., etc.12:04
highvoltagewow12:04
pygithat's how andy implemented blu ray support :P12:04
highvoltagegeez, that's quite cutting edge.12:04
highvoltageI think you should perhaps still draw up a budget of the materials you would need.12:05
highvoltages/would/do12:05
pygiI can try yes, but the amount will be rather big12:06
highvoltageI think you should write philips and if they can't sponsor a copy, then ask if they could at least provide some kind of discount (that would also be seen as sponsorship) and then you could get the remainder somewhere else.12:07
highvoltageI know these companies are heavy on keeping their specs close to them, but sometimes you're just lucky.12:07
highvoltageif you have a bunch of philips drives you could also assure them that any philips drive will work well becuase it's been tested.12:08
pygiindeed, and phillips is especially hard on their lightscribe spec12:08
pygiwe'll see how it goes, but I really hope libburn will mature into something really usable in next couple of years12:10
highvoltagewell, it seems that it might be used to burn cd's over ltsp in the next year or so, that's already a nice application for it, even though a niche application.12:11
pygiI'm neither as good developer as Andy or Joerg, and I don't have the books, but I'm willing and things are looking nice so far ...12:11
highvoltageif it could burn dvd's I'd be very happy :)12:11
pygiright, well same here, but I don't even know which book defines dvd standard :)12:11
pygibut I hope you'll see it in a year or so 12:12
highvoltagefor sure.12:20
pygihighvoltage: I'll stop bothering you now, sorry :)12:23
highvoltageno, no problem. I talk to you while I wait for things to build :)12:24

stgraber(and is shorter) :)07:14
stgraberhttp://www.stgraber.org/download/projects/pastebin/pastebinit.py07:15
stgraberI will just have to update the "usages" part because now you can put as second argument the URL of the pastebin07:16
stgraberMy first python script/software, but it's a really easy to use/learn language07:18
highvoltagenice. how does it work? you pipe something to the script and it pastes it for you?07:19
nixternaloy07:19
stgrabertwo way07:19
stgraber1) a command | ./pastebinit -07:19
stgraber2) ./pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf07:19
stgraberand it simply returns the URL07:20
stgraberyou can also add as a second argument the URL of a pastebin (the default one is http://ubuntu.pastebin.com)07:20
highvoltagethat looks quite useful.07:21
highvoltage*especially* when working on thin clients07:21
highvoltageit's always a hassle redirecting the output to a file first, then scp'ing it to my real machine, and then finally pasting it.07:22
highvoltageif my thin client is natted, and I have this installed in my chroot, it could be useful.07:22
