beunohello03:19
somerville32Hi03:19
beunohow's it going?03:19
somerville32lol03:19
somerville32My edgy-> Feisty has failed03:20
Burgundaviaheh03:20
beuno: /03:20
beunoit's a bit early to jump, ain't it?03:20
somerville32I'm a developer03:20
somerville32pesudo-developer, haha03:21
Burgundavianot really03:21
somerville32Burgundavia, not really too early to jump?03:21
beunosomerville32: any idea what happend to UWN 27?03:21
beunoit's not on gobby, it's not on the wiki03:21
tonyyarussouh oh03:22
Burgundaviasomerville32: I am only here for about 10 more minutes, then I am off again for a few days03:22
tonyyarussoerrrr03:23
somerville32UWN 27 is... missing?03:23
beunoit's not on gobby03:23
beunoit's not on the wiki03:23
tonyyarussolooks like it somerville32 03:24
beunoI've been waiting around for you   ;D03:24
somerville32tonyyarusso, What happened? Wasn't it on your server?03:25
tonyyarussosomerville32: It was - I'm not sure03:25
somerville32It doesn't just disappear...03:26
Burgundaviadid you guys have it saving every 10 minutes? poingrus server did03:27
tonyyarussoBurgundavia: Every five I think, but I don't see anything in the file.03:28
somerville32So... vanadal?03:28
somerville32I guess this is why we don't leave it in gobby, lol03:28
somerville32Burgundavia, have you sent out UWN 26 yet and can I get the passwd for the ml?03:29
Burgundaviayes and yes, just a sec03:29
Burgundaviaone thing about it, always make everybody go to moderation03:29
somerville32Burgundavia, What do you mean?03:30
beunosomerville32: maybe we should have a *private* gobby and not make the password public?03:30
Burgundaviadon't flag your email as allowing anything you send through03:30
somerville32beuno: Nah. If we import back to the wiki after we're done each time, then we'll be fine.03:30
tonyyarussosomerville32: I would be far more likely to say my server had a panic attack, got in a fistfight with its multiple personalities, and got drunk and threw up the file before I blamed vandals.03:31
Burgundaviawhat is your email, somerville32?03:31
somerville32Burgundavia, cody-somerville@ubuntu.com (-> cody.somerville@gmail.com)03:31
Burgundaviaforwarded03:31
somerville32Awesome.03:32
beunoso... UWN 27 is MIA?03:32
Burgundaviasomerville32: ok, you are now a list admin as well03:33
tonyyarussoDoes bash have variables for date/time that could be used in a script to put them in a filename?03:33
beunotonyyarusso: yeap  (looking for it, but I've used it before)03:34
somerville32UWN 27 is fine03:34
somerville32Wiki has revisions03:34
somerville32mdke will have to make his additions again03:35
somerville32Any work we got done... will have to be done again03:35
somerville32Does anybody have any newer revision?03:35
Burgundaviasomerville32: btw, 26 looked great03:35
tonyyarussoI'm going to make a cronjob to get multiple layers of backups in place03:35
tonyyarussobeuno: there's the stuff in 'man date' - can I use that somehow?03:36
beunoyes, looking for the syntax03:37
somerville32Just use the date command03:37
somerville32"moo" > moo-`data <syntax>`03:37
tonyyarusso"moo" > moo-`date +%a` , for instance?03:38
tonyyarussoBeautiful.03:38
beunotonyyarusso: this was helpful when cooking up bash scripts:  http://wooledge.org/mywiki/BashPitfalls03:39
somerville32Burgundavia, You think so? I wasn't so pleased with 2603:40
tonyyarussoCount to 500 and then visit http://yarusso.no-ip.org/ubuntu/uwn_backups/03:44
somerville32That better have UWN 27 :P03:45
tonyyarussonope03:46
tonyyarussobut if I get it working might help in the future03:46
tonyyarussowhich it didn't03:46
tonyyarussohmm03:46
somerville32Well, I'm going to look into this later.03:46
somerville32tonyyarusso, Please send me a copy of the logs.03:47
tonyyarussowhy does cron hate me..03:47
tonyyarussosomerville32: We have nothing, literally nothing.03:47
somerville32What about the other sobby servers? Did they die too?03:47
tonyyarussoWell, I have a full session file from yours for teaching code, but neither of the real ones03:49
tonyyarussoI'm sorry, this probably comes down to being my fault.03:50
somerville32Probably :] 03:54
tonyyarusso(so not needed this week...)03:54
somerville32Hm?03:54
tonyyarussoI have to go back to school tomorrow, I'm already stressed enough.03:55
somerville32I got called into work today03:55
somerville32so I'm super tired :] 03:55
beunoI can setup a backup gobby server with backups if that reliefs some stress...03:55
somerville32Ummm... I think we'll get the primary gobby server back online03:56
somerville32:] 03:56
beunowith backups...?   ;)03:56
beunoprobably not the best time to joke around03:57
beunoI'll work on UWN tomorrow on the wiki to try and get back on rack03:57
beunotrack03:57
somerville32Perfect.03:59
somerville32Remember that the release date is the 8th03:59
somerville32We gotta boggy03:59
beunoyes, closes the 7th, release the 8th03:59
somerville32Well... thats how it suppose to go, yes :()04:00
somerville32:D04:00
beunoseems we got a translation to portugues of the UWN 2604:02
somerville32:D04:02
tonyyarussoNOW look at http://yarusso.no-ip.org/ubuntu/uwn_backups/04:03
tonyyarussoThat format is dayofweek_hourinUTC04:03
tonyyarussoShould do it every hour on the 55-past mark04:03
tonyyarussobeuno: Set up an rsync of that so you have them.04:03
beunook, good04:04
beunowill do04:04
beunoyou created a shell account for me?04:04
tonyyarussobeuno: No - can't you just get from the folder?04:04
beunowith rsync, I'm not sure04:04
tonyyarussoNot sure how rsync works, but wget http://yarusso.no-ip.org/ubuntu/uwn_backups/* would do it, so I assume it's possible.04:04
beunoalthough I could cron "wget" instead04:05
tonyyarussoIf not, use wget I guess :)04:05
tonyyarussoAlthough, that's lame04:05
tonyyarussoWe'll talk some other time about how rsync works, b/c I know it's better but don't know how to use it.04:05
beunoI can setup a sheel account for this04:05
beunoand give you the command to send it with a cron04:06
tonyyarussothat would work04:06
beunoalthough automatic rsync is a pain to setup too (need the rsa keys and all that on each side)04:06
tonyyarussoeww04:06
tonyyarussoLike I said, another time :)04:07
beunoyeap04:07
beunoI'll try and find a "paste this" solution04:07
tonyyarussoActually, hold on there04:08
tonyyarussoIf you set up wget with the same variable, you could get just the one file.04:08
tonyyarussoIt's running cp /home/anthony/.uwn_sobby_session /var/www/ubuntu/uwn_backups/`date -u +%a_%H`04:08
tonyyarussoSo you could do 'wget http://yarusso.no-ip.org/ubuntu/uwn_backups/`date -u +%a_%H`' and run it a few minutes later04:09
tonyyarussoLet me change it to be earlier in the hour so that works04:09
beunoif we have the same time, yes04:09
tonyyarussoIf you're syncing, you will :)04:10
tonyyarussoThere, it's on the 45 of the hour04:10
tonyyarussoIf you run yours on the 55, we have ten minutes of buffer between our clocks04:10

somerville32Perfect.04:27
somerville32We'll need to notify people of what has happened04:27
somerville32Please e-mail ubuntu-marketing on my behalf04:28
tonyyarussoI will04:28
tonyyarussobeuno: I don't know how, but it would be awesome if you had a script such that if your wget 404d it set off an e-mail alarm to you and I :)04:31
beunohmmm04:31

Riddellhmm, the No 27 wiki page is also missing it02:27
elkbuntuRiddell, slight technical... disintergration happened02:29

elkbuntunobody has much choice on that, so thanks :)02:30
Riddellmay I recommend a collaborative editor that has an undo function? :)02:30
elkbuntuRiddell, if you know of one?02:31
Riddellmateedit02:32

somerville32join #ubuntu08:35
somerville32It is always active08:35
bethkoYeah, too active. I can't keep up.08:38

bethkoI'm doomed to email coraspondance the rest of my life?08:38
juliuxsomerville32, did we need for the future a new gobby server ??08:39
bethkoAnd when are they going to fix the spell check in Gaim08:39
atoponcebethko: where are you located? there are a number of online resources that you can use outside of email08:40
bethkoI have an idea08:40
bethkoCalifornia08:40
atoponceyou're aware of the california loco team, no?08:41
bethkoAnd it's cold here to let you know it's not all sunny like they make it out to be. and the flu is going arround08:41
atoponce#ubuntu-california08:41
bethkoI joined but they dont seem to do much08:41
atoponceplus, #ubuntuforums (the the forums themselves)08:42
atoponcethey're fairly active08:42
bethkoYou know how all the meeting are sceduled and use that strange time thing that everyone can read but me? 08:43
atoponceutc?08:44
bethkoMaybe there are other time/math chalged people out there08:44
atoponcecalifornia is utc-8 hours, iirc08:44
bethkoif we could have a kind of reminder through email or something when the meeting are going to be.08:45
juliuxdate -u ;)08:45
bethkoI know we have the weekly news letter and thats really great08:46
atoponceare you talking about the next community council meeting?08:46
bethkobut if we could have another service aka list that sends out reminders of every meeting the day before the meeting with the related time zones and what time that is.08:48
bethkoso i would open an email and it would tell me which room and dirrections on how to get to that room and what time I need to be in that room. 08:49
atoponcethat's just unecessary bandwidth.  do you know how many emails that would be, and how often they would need to be sent out?08:50
atoponcesetting all meetings to UTC allows you, regardless of where you are in the world, to plan for it. you just need to plan for it yourself, if you want to be involved08:51
bethkoI can't read UTC08:51
bethkoTell me in pacific time and I will be there08:52
atoponcepacific time is UTC -8 hours.08:52
bethkoAnd some people aren't that organized and need the email reminders08:52
Admiral_Chicagobeat me to it08:52
bethkoWhat TIME is that?08:52
atoponceSat Jan  6 19:52:17 UTC 200708:53
bethkoUse 00:00 AM/PM08:53
Admiral_Chicago19 UTC = 11am08:53
atoponcethat's the current UTC time.08:53
Admiral_Chicago19-8 = 11 Pacific08:53
bethkoGood! Now do that for all the meeting times and we'll be set08:55
atoponcenow you know how to read UTC.  08:56
bethkoMaybe there's a calcular out there...08:57
atoponcethere are. tons in fact.08:57
Admiral_Chicagoworldtimeserver.com iirc08:57
bethkoI understand it yes. Doing is more difficult08:57
atoponceagain, though, `date -u`.  it's all you need08:57
atoponceit should be easy to see with that how long you have until the next meeting08:58
bethkodate -u08:58
