jdonggnomefreak: late response, I know python and ruby fairly fluently, perl I know enough that I can hack some simple code and get by; by no means fluent00:30
gnomefreakjdong: hmmmmm00:30
gnomefreakjdong: how hard would it be to turn py code into perl?00:31
* jdong cries a bit about hybridized orbitals00:31
jdonggnomefreak: at the mechanics, extremely easy00:31
jdonggnomefreak: the bigger challenge is mapping all the Python API calls to Perl ones00:31
gnomefreakthat could cause a problem00:32
jdonggnomefreak: is this relatd to porting chanserv.py to chanserv.pl? ;-)00:32
gnomefreakyep00:32
gnomefreak:)00:32
jdonggnomefreak: tell ya what00:32
gnomefreakor adding parts to it00:32
jdonggnomefreak: when my school load clears up (i.e. winter break), I *definitely* want to do that00:32
jdonggnomefreak: I got 10% there to cloning chanserv.py as chanserv.rb for weechat00:32
gnomefreakjdong: i would be glad to help if needed00:33
jdongthen the weechat API pissed me off and I stopped that00:33
jdonghopefully irssi would be more sane.00:33
gnomefreaklol00:33
gnomefreaki was thinking of trying weechat00:33
jdonggnomefreak: trying to figure out who's opped and not via scripting is a looping construct.00:33
jdongthat threw me over the edge00:33
jdonggnomefreak: weechat is okay, but IMO not as good as a properly customized irssi00:33
jdonggnomefreak: out of the box, IMO weechat is better configured than irssi00:34
jdongbut it's much less configurable overall00:34
gnomefreakreally?00:34
jdongyeah00:34
* gnomefreak loves irssi00:34
jdongI also strongly disagree with some of their UI decisions00:34
gnomefreakweechats?00:34
jdongfor example, /bans outputs the list of bans for the current channel into the "server window"00:34
jdongwhich is painful and confusing00:34
jdongunbans cannot be referred to by a number (that I can see)00:35
gnomefreakthats not very helpful00:35
jribno love for irssi-python?00:35
jdongjrib: does it exist?00:35
gnomefreakjrib: not yet00:35
gnomefreakjdong: 2006 SOC they ssaid they were working on it00:35
gnomefreaknever seen it surface00:35
jribjdong: depends on your definition of "exist" but I've been using it for over a year00:35
jdonggnomefreak: yeah, I've seen that on their website00:35
jdongjrib: tell us more00:35
gnomefreakjrib: you added py support to irssi?00:36
jribhttp://svn.irssi.org/repos/irssi-python/ 00:36
jribgnomefreak: yep00:36
jdonggnomefreak: personally as far as porting chanserv goes, IMO it's not much different between py and pl00:36
jdonggnomefreak: the majority of the grunt will be mapping xchat API's onto irssi's00:36
gnomefreakjdong: even adding the commands to auto_serv_bleh00:36
gnomefreakjrib: still supports perl?00:37
jribgnomefreak: yep, it's just a plugin for irssi00:37
gnomefreakjdong: seems that part has been done i just hope it supports both00:37
jribI needed to do this in order to compile successfully: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42763/00:38
jdongjrib: is it stable?00:38
jribjdong: has been for me.  Problem is it is unmaintained.  Only issue I have come across is I don't know how to write scripts that do completion00:39
gnomefreakjdong: changelog says first release00:39
* gnomefreak not good with svn00:39
jdongmeh I'll play with it later...00:39
gnomefreakspend most of my time playing with bzr00:39
jdongperl scripting is fine for now, just need to find patience and time to learn irssi00:40
jdonggnomefreak: client side UI to svn is very similar to bzr00:40
jdonggnomefreak: server side UI to svn makes you jump off a cliff :)00:40
gnomefreakso just svn "checkout" http://svn.irssi.org/repos/irssi-python/?00:40
jdonggnomefreak: in fact, a bzr "checkout" (bound branch) has virtually identical commandset00:40
jdonggnomefreak: yep, checkout00:41
jdonggnomefreak: commit would be commit (if you had write access)00:41
jdongdiff, log, and so on are all identical00:41
gnomefreakcool00:41
gnomefreakbut nothing like cvs i hope00:41
jdonglol00:41
gnomefreakcvs is a pain to learn compared to bzr00:41
jdongsvn is actually quite sane to use/learn on both the client and server side00:41
jdongIMO svn servers are more trouble than one bargains for00:42
jdongCVS is just a nightmare00:42
gnomefreaki agree00:42
gnomefreakmozilla uses cvs00:42
jdongepseically combined with like a ssh authentication method, setting up even a client makes you cry00:42
gnomefreakjrib: those commands on pastebin should do it all?00:43
* gnomefreak doesnt see ./configure00:43
gnomefreaknor make00:43
jribyou still need to run ./configure and make00:43
gnomefreakafter those commands right?00:44
jriboh and you need a copy of the irssi source in the right spot00:44
* gnomefreak wonders wth libtoolize is00:44
gnomefreakjrib: that would help i guess, does it have to be upstreams?00:44
jribgnomefreak: no idea, I have 0.8.10 in there00:45
gnomefreak.8.11-0ubuntu100:45
jdonggnomefreak: just get a 1-page perl primer. it'll be faster ;-)00:46
gnomefreak;)00:46
* jdong wonders if one can use regex to match parameters.....00:46
jdongooh NOW I'm really tempted to write chanserv.pl and stop studying chem00:46
gnomefreaklol chem is fun00:46
jdonggnomefreak: good you can take my test for me.00:47
gnomefreakjdong: be glad to00:47
jdongare you at UDS?00:47
gnomefreaki wish00:47
gnomefreaki have court tomorrow so i couldnt make it to UDS00:47
jdongyeah you wish, then you can take my test for me right down the street.00:47
gnomefreaki never said it was easy just fun00:48

DavieyHobbsee: ahh.. assumed it was planned, np11:21
Hobbseeand it's a bug.11:22
DavieyAlso, from what it seems - ubuntu doesn't put laptops into "laptop mode" as default.. it's a manual conf setting11:22

=== Hobbsee_ is now known as Hobbsee
jdongDaviey: ubuntu_demon corrected himself after the second one12:48
jdongto be honest, the laptop_mode=on scenario was a bad choice of defaults for Ubuntu12:48
jdongUbuntu is the *only* distro that I know that sets hdparm -B1 when laptop_mode is enabled12:48
Davieybut it isn't AIUI12:48
jdong(this is not default behavior of laptop_mode -- laptop_mode.conf defaults to NOT adjusting power management for the HDD)12:49
jdongit also doesn't help that powertop's initial suggestion list includes turning on laptop_mode12:49
Davieythis is true12:49
jdongit's a case of not turned on by default, but no warning that turning it on would have SUCH nasty effects12:50
jdongand IMO that's *still* a Ubuntu bug.12:50
jdongwe should not have landmine options in config files, especially not without clear warning....12:50
jdongshould we add in a DESKTOP_MODE=false and when set to true it reformats all the drives??12:50
jdongI also did not understand Matthew's argument for why hdparm -B 1 is set rather than a more sensible value, like -B 100 or more12:51
jdonghe seems to have implied that not all drives decide to go into parked mode immediately when B=1, but on all of my hard drives that support -B, this is the case.12:52
jdong*sigh* does Kevin really need to be doing all of his intro to CS homework on the Planet?12:56

Picijdong: Thats what it sounded like.  13:44
jdongPici: which I agree with -- it's an unintuitive problem with the planet system13:44
PiciAlthough if I had a planet feed, I'd probably be reading it too and would have seen all the posts I was making...13:44
jdongPici: well it looks like he simply doesn't read planet on a regular basis13:45
jdongPici: which I feel the same way about. IMO the quality of the posts on the planet have degraded drastically13:45

* LjL drops jdong repeatedly with the platters spinning14:24
jdongLjL: fortunately I run OS X which, unlike Ubuntu, supports automatic parking on freefall without cutting disk lifespan by 10-fold :)14:25
jdongha aren't I a troll today :)14:25
LjLjdong: automatic parking on freefall - suppose that requires an accelerometer. i thought that sort of thing was handled by the drive controller itself?14:26
jdongLjL: nah, Apple portables have an accelerometer built in14:27
jdongLjL: and a kernelland driver that monitors it in realtime14:27
jdongLjL: IBM has similar, and there's a userspace daemon (hdapsd) that monitors similar information on Linux14:28
LjLjdong: well if the interface to the accelerometer were standardized...14:28
jdongLjL: unfortunately, currently it's not possible in Linux to park the disk head14:28
jdongLjL: because there's no API call to freeze all disk activity14:28
jdongLjL: the patch was written in 2006 for it but has yet to be merged14:28
jdongLjL: once that's done, using the Linux macbook accelerometer driver to write a parking program is trivial14:28
LjLjdong: what about immediate poweroff on accelometer readings over threshold?14:29
jdongLjL: and the same patch for freeze_queue has a standard sysfs interface for IBM and Apple accelerometers14:29
jdongLjL: about half the acceleration of freefall or so14:29
jdongLjL: in my experience, not possible to trip without , say, running down stairs with the laptop in hand14:29
LjLjdong, i mean, what about just powering off the whole machine, since we can't just park the drive14:30
jdongI haven't exactly tried a drop test...14:30
jdongLjL: disks really don't spin down fast enough for that, not to mention a hard poweroff can cause much more damage than a drop14:30
jdongLjL: most good hard drives are rated to some 300-500G's of operating shock14:30
LjLjdong: meh, a hard poweroff will mess with the filesystem a little at worst... and lose your documents, but that happens routinely whenever X freezes :P still, powering off a drive doesn't park its head?14:31
jdongLjL: usually not immediately14:33
jdongLjL: they usually use rotational inertia counteracting a spring to park.....14:33
jdongwhich means you probably need for the drive to spin down significantly before it returns to a near parked position14:34
jdongwhile issuing a park command is nearly instant14:34
LjLjdong: will the next generation of Macs come with mini-jets to make the laptop float above ground when a fall is detected?14:34

LjLjdong: perhaps "see my address" would be a more cautious invite14:42
PiciI'm just going to avoid talking when jdong is around.14:43
LjLPici: what are you going to do when mneptok is around then?14:43
jdongPici: or maybe re-read every other word you type to make sure it can't be misconstrued as an innuendo? :)14:43
LjLmc44 will have advice about that too14:44

Jucatobah16:08
LjLJucato: you probably need to identify, identify jucato password16:08
jpatrick_Jucato: it's already there16:08
LjLyeah because i joined it16:08
Jucatoyeah, LjL most probably did it16:09
Jucato:D16:09
Jucatocan't find me in its user database :)16:09
Jucatonvm though. LjL's there to save the day :)16:10
LjLJucato: i thought you were registered but it seems you aren't... register jucato password16:11
JucatoI registered.. probably removed me. it's ok :)16:11
AndehHi16:15
AndehWhen I'm in #ubuntu-offtopic and try to talk, it says Cannot send to channel.16:15
AndehUm...?16:15
LjLAndeh: that's because you are muted16:16
AndehOh16:16
AndehUntil what year?16:17
LjLAndeh: i don't know, i didn't do the muting. let me check what it was for16:17
PiciLjL: ubotu is down... looks like the tracker is too :(16:18
AndehThank you.16:18
Andeh:/16:18
LjLPici: ubotu is actually connected, though in no channel16:18
Andehheh16:18
PiciLjL: hm....16:18
Seveashoster has network problems16:18
Seveascolo crap16:18
Andeh:p16:18
LjLwell Andeh do you have any clue why you were muted? bans and mutes generally last differently long depending on why they happened16:20
Andeh  :/16:22
AndehWell it seems my behaviour angers the ops often16:22
Andehso it could have been for anything16:22
Andehbut it wasnt that suddenly I got a cannot send to channel message while still talking, I connected a week later and then it told me16:23
Andeh:/16:24
Andeh...16:24
AndehCool, I just realised why the audio file I was just making hurt my ears, it had a strong ultrasound peak16:25
Andehi'll see if I can remove it16:25
Seveashoster is back16:45
Seveasubotu will be back soon16:45
PiciThanks for the update :_16:46
Andehso, why am I muted again?16:57
Andeh...16:58
naliothAndeh: please be patient or be elsewhere16:59
AndehOh. Well the server is back ent it?16:59
Seveasthat doesn't mean the ops are :)17:00
Seveasbtw, i found this: 2007-09-16T19:55:30 <Andeh> Omg pedos17:00
Seveasnot really something I'd unban/unmute17:00
Seveaseweka is down again, ubotu isn't functional17:34
tonyyarussoyay...17:34

Seveasthey seem to have screwed up routing this time, hmm17:35
Seveas!test17:35
Seveasah, ping says it's back17:35
ubotuFailed.17:35
PiciAndeh: It looks like ompaul was the one who set your current mute.  He'd be the person to talk to about removing it.17:36
Seveasok, eweka definitely fucked up their routing17:39
naliothSeveas: would you like an account on my box here?17:41
Seveasnot much I can do now17:41
PiciI thought your box was sequestered behind some nasty NATting17:41
naliothSeveas: well, i don't know if you mirror your cvs/svn/bzr stuff on a local box (i do)17:41
naliothPici: are you speaking to me? my box is open to the world17:41
Seveasnot the db17:42
naliothtonyyarusso has an account on it for powerpc dev'ng17:42
SeveasPici, ljl's box is 17:42
PiciSeveas: They're practially the same person :p17:42
naliothSeveas: i have the latest factoid db (at least the latest until the server went whacky)17:42
tonyyarussonalioth: I think I may have forgotten the pw for it though...  /me cowers17:44
naliothtonyyarusso: that's easily corrected17:44
tonyyarussowould it be possible to re-get login info?17:44
tonyyarusso:P17:44
tonyyarussoI just had an IP address before too - haven't you learned the ways of no-ip or something yet?17:45
Seveasnalioth, do you think profox` qualifies for a channel join limit exception? he's ubuntu member and active dutch loco member17:45
naliothSeveas: he's been gifted17:48
Seveasgracias17:48
naliothde nada17:48
jussi01hmmm, is there a problem with ubotu? (seems very slow) should I take the load off and unmute ubotwo?17:59

ompaulpersist semi trolling18:48
ompaulso here is the deal18:48
ompaulyou learn how we communicate 18:49
ompaulif you want to participate work within those bounds and don't keep making noise and disrupting it all18:50
ompaulAndeh, willing to do that?18:50
ompaulAndeh, and to let you know, most people are not your age in there, in fact some of us are on the wrong side of forty let alone the wrong side of thirty18:51
Seveasompaul, but you're still on the good side of the 70 :)18:51
ompaulSeveas, thanks for finding the silver lining in that :)18:52
ompaulhaha18:52
Seveaslook for the silver lining...18:52

Andehompaul: I think the exact wording was "fucking ignorant moron" rather than calm down, but okay.18:57
jussi01Seveas: thanks :)18:57
ompaulAndeh, you just bought yourself another ban 18:57
ompaulI had undone it18:57
AndehO_O18:57

AndehI was being serious18:58
ompaulwe don't permit that kind of conversation18:58

AndehThey banned him after he flamed me18:58
ompaulso using "18:58
ompauldoes not work18:58
Andeh...18:58
AndehNote to self: Quoting others gets you banned18:59
ompaulAndeh, can do18:59
ompaulI'll remove it, don't point fingers 18:59
Andehit has on several occasions, not just here18:59
SeveasAndeh, it can if you just pretend quote18:59
Andeh?18:59
Seveasthere is no mention of a F A M on https://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/bans.cgi?query=implozun&kicks=on&oldbans=on&bans=on&oldmutes=on&mutes=on18:59
ompaulwhen it has happened leave it others can deal with it18:59
AndehYou mean like 'I think the exact wording was "[f word(adjective)][person who does not pay attention(noun)][stupid person(noun)]"'19:00
ompaulAndeh, we live in a world where we communicate some times in places you can see, some times you can't and other times we meet face to face19:00
AndehHooray for technology then.19:01
AndehHmm19:01
AndehI am working on a song. If I send you a bad quality .ogg of it to promote the free format and ubuntu's use of it, will it... never mind19:01
ompaulstuff such as ---  2007-10-12T22:58:41 <Andeh> ompaul: Hmm. I have 4 GB ram. Should I just sell that last gigabyte?   --- is very annoying not clever or smart19:02
Andeh...19:02
Andehyou picked out the only serious thing I ever said on IRC?19:02
Seveasimagine how annoying the non-serious things are :)19:02
ompaulwell then it just goes to show how you come across19:02
AndehI wasn't kidding about that, the last gig is wasted19:03
Andehbrb19:03
ompaulcos that does not read serious19:03
ompaulit reads like troll19:03

AndehOh, my use of capital letters...19:08
Andeh...and proper grammar... do they make people think I am a troll pretending not to be a troll?19:09
AndehBecause I don't see how else that line looks like a troll19:10
AndehAnd if I remember it was in context, I was asking about linux handling my 4x1GB ram to the full extent19:10
Andehso not just 2.8 GB like it does at the moment19:11
AndehThey later told me the only things that dont work with ubuntu x64 out of the box are some commercial plugins like flash and java19:11
Andehmm19:12
Andeherr...19:12
naliothAndeh: can we help you?19:13
Andehyeah19:13
Andehompaul: I kindly request you to un-mute me now.19:13

naliothAndeh: please be patient or be elsewhere19:14
Andehnalioth: ...19:14
AndehIt's sort of a conversation that has been going on. I am not patiently waiting for ompaul to decide to unban me for no reason, I am trying to convince him I will try not to make my 100% serious posts less likely to look like trolls.19:15

elkbuntumc44, heh23:28
robI guess that makes sense for the US at least, but I couldn't imagine it would apply so well to every loco channel23:29
elkbunturob, well the US is the only country with a zillion locos instead of one or two23:29
robyeah23:29
robbut, why not use the full names instead?23:29
rob#ubuntu-alaska for example23:30
naliothnot our decision, rob   (looks upward)23:30
naliothcame from the CC23:30
elkbunturob, they often have both, but newbies keep trying to join the #ubuntu-<state abbreviation>23:30
robI'm guessing I missed the above discussion as I only just reconnected after the thunderstorm here last night, but the decision seems a little misguided to me. How come the CC are deciding that anyway, shouldn't the IRC council just have taken care of a decision like that?23:31
elkbuntubecause the irc council is only new, the people took it to the wrong place, and the cc obviously were not going to palm it23:33
robelkbuntu, of cause they do, because that makes sense. I bet the next choice would be #ubuntu-fullname, -us-ak for example is ugly and not that logical23:33
robmaybe they should have handballed it23:34
