[01:07] *SNUGGLEHUGGLE* [01:11] PriceChild, you don't happen to have a clue what to do next when your rt2500 card does appear to work, but you can't get anything to ping anything else? :| [01:19] LjL: "appear to work"? [01:19] PriceChild: well, this time the interface is there in ifconfig [01:20] anyway, am now checking dmesg, and have a lot of "ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet." if that means anything [01:20] nveer heard of it [01:23] i mean, not only does it show up in ifconfig, but the eeepc sees the network too [01:34] gah... so nevermind anyway, the problem was on the eeepc side. it still thought it had a route to a wired connection (even though it did say "disabled", but "route" begged to differ), so it tried to reach 192.168 from there [02:01] woo :) [02:51] In #ubuntu-offtopic, aubade said: !greatestfear is whale sharks [03:01] ubottu doesn't fear anything [03:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:01] why are whale sharks scary? [03:01] i'm desperately trying to think of that office quote... jdong help me... "we would also have accepted women and...." ??? [03:05] dogs? [03:09] Its "Not afraid of anything, also would have accepted snakes" [03:09] or at least, according to the internet. [03:43] PriceChild: also, I would've accepted snakes [03:43] ack Flannel won. [03:43] Only through the power of the internet. I claim no credit personally. [04:14] heads up on the user 'connecting' [04:14] mibbit user, spamming and such [04:14] real IP of ppp-70-247-119-16.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net === rich_ is now known as nickrud [09:17] Slart called the ops in #ubuntu (hero) [09:18] * elkbuntu refrains from joking about that one [09:25] I've asked hero to not repeat the "hi's" (in pm) [09:26] mrgh... out too late last night... [09:26] hangover? [09:26] yep [09:26] Gary, i was kinda hoping he'd be 'an hero' and.. well... [09:27] terminate himself [09:27] * Gary shouts "HEY JUSSI01" [09:27] by which i mean, his connection [09:28] * jussi01 takes a bite out of Gary [09:28] nom nom nom [09:31] bad pizza hut. when i say 'no onion' i kind of mean 'none' not 'less' [09:32] I had pizza last night, and now feel really rubbish [09:33] elkbuntu: pizza hut? you mean "pasta hut" :p [09:33] stdin, the only pasta it sells here is lasagna. [09:33] the rest is american-style ribs [09:35] it getting re-branded here to pasta hut, because it's "healthier" [09:35] you kid [09:35] [citation needed] [09:35] http://www.pastahut.co.uk/Home [09:36] that would actually be ok. i'd love to be able to order pasta and not have it arrive with 10 cloves of garlic in it [09:36] so um, how to pizza lovers get pizza in the UK? [09:37] it still does pizzas, but the emphasis is now on the pasta [09:37] and we still have a pizza place on every corner (it seems) [09:38] and at least 4 leaflets for pizza places get pushed through my door every week. so we're not short of pizza [09:40] i live in an asian/middle-eastern dominated area. makes for unsatisfactory pizzas [09:41] there is one italian pizza joint close by, but they're epic fail [09:43] I have 2 pizza places within a mile radius, at least 2 chinese, 3 indian and one greek restaurant [09:43] maybe I'm spoilt :p [09:44] i have about that, but i dont get heaps of junkmail [09:44] stdin: great place to live! [09:45] and there's even a McDonalds down the road :p [09:53] who cares about that [09:57] thats a minus IMHO [09:57] true [09:59] I worked at a McDonalds for a while, it's not *that* bad [10:02] until you picture the people who are attracted to mcdonalds like flies to crap [10:05] no, point is, Mcdonalds in your neighbourhood sucks. it creates a huge amounts of rubbish, crappy food and not a nice environment... IMHO... [10:23] they're half-maccas half coffeshop here in aus now [10:23] and barrys in their barry cars, driving like idiots [10:25] so, at least there's an option other than sugar water, barely-dairy thickshakes and day-old percolated coffee.

[15:47] nickrud, when you ask it what the best whatever is, it replies that "the BESTEST whatever is ..." [15:47] and, i *am* aware that there is no such word as bestest [15:47] so, yes, irony. [15:47] ironic also that supybot beats bestbot in the "best bot" category [15:47] yes, with the reply it's obvious. I like that. Of course, since I've never played with the bot my opinion is palian [15:48] nickrud: and anyway you can also just ask it for a list of applications of some kind, with no "best" nonsense in the reply [17:40] Linus ♥ [17:40] http://torvalds-family.blogspot.com/2008/10/tracking-time-kids-spend-online.html [17:40] #ubuntu is hard this evening [17:40] someone should make a decent front end to that [17:41] you need some backup?
