beunoany idea where all the logs from the ubuntu bots are stored?02:39
nalioth!logs | beuno02:40
ubotubeuno: Channel logs can be found at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs02:40
beunothanks nalioth  :D02:40
beunogouki: to the bat cave  :p02:40
beunothere you have them, by channel and by date02:41
goukiHeheh! The problem is that they can't be organized by data. I can only parse 1 log file for each channel.02:41
beunogouki: you parse one log per day?02:42
beunoI don't understand it then  :/02:42
goukiIRSSISTATS parses 1 log file for each channel. i.e: ~/irclogs/freenode/#ubuntu - IRSSISTATS takes the content of this file and creates the appropriate HTML page with the statistics02:43
goukiI can't have ~/irclogs/freenode/ubuntu/01, .../ubuntu/02, etc, etc.02:44
beunobut it parses it every x amount of time or something, right?02:45
beunobecause then the log files will be enourmos02:46
goukiYes. It's not supposed to, but I created a cron job to launch IRSSISTATS every 60 seconds. So the max delay when someone is visiting the website is ~62 seconds02:46
beunobut can't you parse a "different" log file every 60 seconds?02:48
goukiNop :S I mean, the file itself is different (more information there) but it has to be the same file everytime02:48
beunogouki: that doesn't sound like a problem02:49
beunoif I understand correctly, all you need is the file to have the channels name, right?02:49
goukiYes02:50
goukiI could cat 01 >> ubuntu02:50
beunogouki: some simple scripting can take care of that02:50
beunoto run the cron job so that the file gets renamed first02:50
beunoand you won't need a stat bot  :D02:50
goukiBut don't forget IRSSISTATS requires the 'Day changed' line of IRSSISTATS, so it knows when the day ended. If I used the other log files, it wouldn't be easy to let him (him as in IRSSISTATS) to know that 01 is one day and that 02 is a different day (when cat'ing, that is)02:51
gouki* of IRSSI, sorry02:51
Tm_Tgouki: I use ircstats02:56
=== gouki Googles for ircstats
Tm_Tgouki: example of mine: http://tmtravolta.kapsi.fi/ircstats/02:59
goukiTm_T: It looks pretty much as a page generated by IRSSISTATS. I'll give it a look! Maybe we don't need all the hacking if ircstats accepts several files03:02
Tm_Tgouki: no idea about several files, I give one big usually03:03
beunogouki: this is why I discuss these things in public channels  :p03:03
goukiHeheh. It worked out pretty good! :)03:03
beunoI'm sure this isn't too offtopic03:04

GazzaKwhy not?09:37
Amaranthif they don't let me go to spain i'll lose a job09:37
GazzaKwhy would they not let you go?09:37
SeveasAmaranth, if you're good at sysadmining, I have a job for you :)09:37
Amaranthhehe09:37
AmaranthI can be a very effective BOFH ;)09:37
GazzaKI've been offered a bit of a change to my job09:37
GazzaKSeveas, I'm a sysadmin09:38
SeveasGazzaK, if you ever want a job in NL you're more than welcome09:38
AmaranthNot sure I'd want to work with Seveas though ;)09:38
Seveasthe local gay bar (50 meters from the office) is where we usually hang out after (or during) work ;)09:38
GazzaKI'd like to, that is scarylry tempting09:38
GazzaKeeek, I canna spell09:39
GazzaKSeveas, what OS?  sadly I'm a windows based sysadmin09:39
=== GazzaK pitys himself
SeveasGazzaK, we need those as well (until I migrate all to Ubuntu)09:39
GazzaKif this change around at my current job is not fun, i'd like to look into that a lot more Seveas09:40
GazzaKthey want me to work mid week in Birmingham (the bottom of the UK)09:40
SeveasGazzaK, let me know if you want to know more09:41
=== PriceChild groans at annoying lag
GazzaKMonday as normal in Colchester, then Tue morning drive up to Brum, tue pm work in brum, hotel, wed work in brum, hotel, thur am work, thur pm drive home, fri as normal09:41
GazzaKI am not sure if it'd be a pain or fun yet09:42
GazzaKSeveas, if you have any details, can you email me?09:42
SeveasGazzaK, I can even tell them in public on the odd chance others are listening09:42
GazzaKokay, if you don't mind using this channel, i'm all ears (well eyes)09:43
SeveasGazzaK, the company is booking.com, europes largest hotel reservation website -- 500 employees of which 275 (and more daily) people are based in Amsterdam. Most use windows machines, but there are plans for an Ubuntu pilot. Windows sysadmin would be responsible for (re)installing windows (using Ubuntu!!) and maintaing the systems. There is no windows server admin involved (that's all redhat/centos).09:44
PriceChildGazzaK, birmingham.... bottom of the uk? :)09:44
Seveasyou'd be doing helpdesk a lot as well as cisco ip phone support09:45
GazzaKSeveas, that actually sounds great09:45
GazzaKeeek, helldesk09:45
Seveasand have a good chance to learn linux sysadmin when the ubuntu pilot happens09:45
Seveashelldesk is not that bad actually09:45
GazzaKyeah, thats what I like the sound of09:45
GazzaKthe learning linux sysadmin bit09:46
Seveasdue to big firewalls and server based antivirus, most bad stuff stays out09:46
LjLexcept that which is already in09:46
LjLlike Win32.Seveas09:46
GazzaKSeveas, would I need to know Dutch?09:46
Seveasno09:46
GazzaKphew09:46
Seveascompany language is english, we have people from lots of countries09:46
GazzaKas I barely know german and I lived there for 11 years09:46
Seveasif you look at booking.com, you see it's translated into many languages09:46
Seveasmost translators work in amsterdam09:47
GazzaKSeveas, I'm in for looking at this a lot more seriously09:47
LjLyou're all supposed to speak english? wow. that would be totally impossible here, even if it was the biggest english-speaking multinational doing it09:47
SeveasGazzaK, bad news is: we don't help you move to holland and finding a place is not easy09:47
SeveasLjL, I speak dutch with the dutchmen and english with the rest09:48
GazzaKyeah, damn, but I do know someone who lives there, almost in the centre of amsterdam09:48
Seveasnice09:48
Seveasthis is also in the centr of amsterdam (just in front of the rijksmuseum)09:48
GazzaKbut his place is small, and I'd need to find digs in the end09:48
GazzaKwhats the pay like?09:48
LjLSeveas: certainly, but i assure you it would be quite impossible to have several employees from various countries who do *not* speak italian in any company located in italy09:48
LjLthey'd just all not communicate09:49
GazzaKLjL, thats the same as most countries in the EU as well, NL is different though09:49
SeveasLjL, we (both the company and the dutch) are not that unilingual :)09:49
LjLi envy you09:49
GazzaKI loved my time in NL, it's a lovely place and the people are mostly really nice09:50
LjLwell, well now...09:50
Seveasand you liked the marihuana09:50
GazzaKSeveas, well I think I did09:50
GazzaKit was quite a weekend09:50
Seveasheh09:50
GazzaKthe week was a lot more sober, and that was nice09:51
GazzaKSeveas, count me in, I'd seriously consider it, as I've been wanting to escape from the UK for a bit, but keep my UK status, so a EU place of work is required09:52
LjL[tongue in cheek comment removed] 09:55
GazzaKLjL, go on say it :p09:56
LjLit'd be offtopic in -offtopic, but it involves the british and their attitude towards the EU :P09:56
naliothit's the GazzaK!09:56
SeveasGazzaK, my english is failing me: what's the english word for the letter you send to a company to apply for a job?09:56
GazzaKapplication letter09:56
BurgworkSeveas: a resume or a cover letter?09:56
naliothresume09:56
SeveasGazzaK, gah... that simple.. :)09:56
GazzaKCV09:56
Seveasno, not resume09:56
LjLthat's latin though :P09:56
Burgworkcover letter talks about why you want the job, resume is a list of your experience09:56
Seveasyou send that along with the letter :p09:56
naliotha cover letter is what you send as the 1st page of a faxed document09:56
Burgworkcv is a resume09:57
SeveasCuricculum Vitae09:57
LjLtwo R's, one C09:57
Burgworkthat is a CV or a resume09:57
GazzaKso it'd be a application letter with enclosed CV then09:57
Burgworkno, a cover letter with a resume/cv09:57
naliothsince when do geeks send cover letters, CVs and resumes?09:57
GazzaKnalioth, hehe09:58

Kamping_Kaiseri was under the impression it can handle different drive sizes/busses/raid or not (i havent tried myself though)11:07

tonyyarussoIt doesn't just adapt like "use 30% for this, 55% for this, and the rest for the other part"11:08
Kamping_Kaiserah right.11:09
Kamping_Kaiseri had standard 20 gig drives in all systems i did11:09
tonyyarussoYeah, this involves "any random HD someone donates" - they range from 2 gig to 80.11:10
