[00:56] LjL: The bt isnt really responding [00:57] Pici: what domain was the bot on again? [00:58] LjL: ubottu.com [00:58] !ping [00:58] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [00:58] Pici: i think i have access to that machine... except err, i seem to have forgot my password. [00:58] That was me. [00:59] i guessed [01:05] agh [01:05] what's that darn password [01:08] Pici: if it's actually the same machine that i have in mine, it seems to be responding ok aside from bot and bt [01:09] LjL: hmm [01:09] Think I should issue another restart? [01:09] Pici: it's not yet back, i don't know, it should be back by now [01:09] won't hurt i guess [01:10] LjL: It said it couldnt find the bot process :/ [01:10] uh oh [01:10] Restarting it thoughj [01:10] i'm john-the-ripping some of my password hashes, perhaps i'll find the one [01:11] not that i'll able to do much even if i can get in, but at least see if something's hogging the cpu [01:13] bloody bot [01:17] i think it'll time out again shortly [01:17] !ping [01:17] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [01:18] weird, it answered this one fast - not mine [01:18] !ping [01:18] !ping [01:18] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [01:19] I think that jussi01_'s postgres might have not been a good idea [01:21] !test [01:22] dammit [01:22] ah wait it's silent in here [01:22] works in #ubuntu [01:22] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [01:25] ehm? [01:25] just updating database to newest from ubottu.com [01:30] by the way Myrtti, i think it would have been a good idea to @mark the conversation with turtle here - he's being random again now and it should be nice (especially for ikonia) to be able to refer to what happened here [01:31] LjL: tbh, I really couldn't care less. I'm trying to work so I can go to bed and sleep. [01:32] Myrtti: ok, i know you weren't intending to deal with that unban to begin with, but after all it's just a "@mark turtle_" [01:33] ok, I'm going to go to the bantracker, if it responds, and mark the conversation with the link to the irclogs.ubuntu.com. [01:34] after that I'm going to commit this damned script to the svn, and go to bed, and sleep, and hopefully have no dreams [01:34] Myrtti: doing it now is much more complicated, with the linking to irclogs and all [01:34] i'm sure someone else can just explain what happened instead [01:35] but if we just make it a habit of doing a @mark after dealing with bans in here, it'll be easy and useful [01:38] I have nothing positive to say in this state of mind, so I'll just shut up. [01:38] @mark Myrtti [01:38] The operation succeeded. [01:38] good night [01:38] gee [01:38] night [01:45] ubottu seems to be responsive right now [01:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:46] i guess i'll try again in a little while though before removing ubotwo [01:47] Pici: are you sticking around in the following hours? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [02:23] hello [02:23] I accidentally joined #ubuntuforums and noticed that I was able to enter [02:23] It's probably an issue with my hostmask accidentally making the ban invalid [02:24] I just wanted to inform you guys of the mistake [02:26] I figured that honesty would be the best idea here ;) [02:41] Grant-A: yes it is, we appreciate that [02:41] let me check [02:42] Grant-A: i do believe your ban is still valid [02:43] Grant-A: just to clarify the last time we spoke in here we agreed to re-evaluate your ban in two weeks. [02:44] ok [02:44] well, seeing as that was cleared up, I guess I'm done in here [02:44] now I've been an extremely busy person during this time [02:44] but from what I've understood from glances at channel logs and the comments of other ops, I believe the reasons for the ban remain valid at this time, sorry. [02:45] ok [02:45] that's fine I guess [02:46] perhaps it will be lifted in time? [02:47] with good behavior, of course ;) [02:48] Grant-A: it will be re-evaluated in two weeks, which means there's certainly a possibility of it being lifted. [02:49] ok [02:49] thank you for your time [02:49] adiaŭ, ĝis revido. :) [02:49] Grant-A: I really appreciate the change of attitude :) [02:49] I think we are on the right track now. [02:50] perhaps if you could just drop the esperanto as well... [02:50] it turns my stomach [02:50] on the topic of which, given you're still being an extremely busy person, i wonder just what can be left in your nose to pick at this stage [07:23] * Myrtti has coffee, feels better [07:32] mmm, coffee [07:32] *barfs* [07:34] mmm coffee [07:34] *licks lips* [07:36] meh, needsmoarcoffeez [07:48] Mez: charming [07:50] I read that so wrong... Mez mmm, coffee, Mez *barfs, Mez mmm coffee, Mez *licks lips* <--- eeew [07:52] lol [07:53] damn you and your shorter nick elky [07:53] :-) [07:53] Gary: you could have read "licks lips" wrong as well [07:53] "kicks hips" [07:53] Myrtti: well I did that too [07:53] dips chips [07:53] oh, no I read it rudely [07:53] so did I [07:53] * Myrtti slaps herself, goes to work [07:54] wheeeeeee, i finally ordered a new laptop [07:54] taaaaaaaaaaasty specs [07:54] have a good day at work Myrtti [07:54] elky: ooow, what make/model? [07:54] I'll try to have a fun day [07:54] I know I'll slip and IRC every once in a while [07:55] Gary, dell vostro 1310 [07:55] I put on a tight top today, blimey I feel so gay [07:55] * Myrtti started her day watching Bee Gees Staying Alive [07:55] ooow leather back [07:57] elky: they look good [08:02] Gary, i got a good deal too http://pastebin.ca/1354230 [08:03] it's full of typical dell gibberish, but i took out all their token/code/reference numbers [08:05] shame the wifi is not draft n [08:06] yeah, but i can remedy that another time i think [08:06] 4gb waaaam, nice [08:06] yaaaaaah [08:06] Gary: a wifi is a wifi, imo as long as it has endurable fast wifi, it's good [08:07] what ticks me off is that so few mobile phones/laptops have bt2.0 [08:07] s/endurable/endurably/ [08:08] Myrtti: yeah, I was just saying, as at home, when I tested my wifi being locked to n only, it was so much faster than B,G+N mixed mode [08:09] but it's a ruddy good laptop, cpu might be classed as a little slow, but it's a smallish machine [08:09] and a lot better priced than my macbook 13" unibody [08:09] I guess I'm a boring person [08:10] just as with packed music, after a certain treshold I can't see the difference in quality of the music / speed of the internets [08:10] anything packed with better quality than 128kbit is a waste on me [08:10] Gary, i dont mind the cpu being a little slow, since there's 2 of them, and they're both faster than this one which nearly never scales up when needed [08:10] oh, it's not internet speed I was interested in, it was backing up to my NAS box :p [08:11] Gary: internets != Internet ;-) [08:11] I'm a bit ocd about backups [08:11] my backups are incremental rsyncs, so their fast enough already [08:12] which reminds me that I should do my backups [08:12] actually, they're both equally fast as this one, but there is 2 of them [08:12] Gary, do scroll down to the battery section though [08:12] but in comparison to any wifi bluetooth1.0 is slow as a mule on morphine [08:12] elky: 13" is inho a great size for a laptop, I hate the 17"+ ones, get a desktop! [08:13] Gary, 17" ones are not laptops. they're lap crushers. [08:13] and since I do like to use my laptop in my lap at places with no wifi and using mobile tethering, I'd *REALLY* want a fast bluetooth [08:13] elky: 9 cell, is that big? (/me knows nothing) [08:13] yes [08:14] most laptops are 6, I've seen el cheapos with 3 [08:14] Gary, default batteries are usually 3 or 4 cell for cheap laptops [08:14] what do you guess the runtime will be on it? [08:14] 4-5hrs [08:14] since i dont game, and i'll probably turn compositing off. [08:14] woo, I got 5.5 hours on my old macbook pro once, that was fantastic [08:15] shame you paid the windows tax on it :'( [08:15] i might even get more, i really wont know until i've cycled the battery a few times [08:15] Gary, a. dont have a choice. b. i have to lose my vista virginity eventually, it might as well be in the safety of my own home [08:15] * quassel251 is getting a touchbook :) [08:15] oh crap again [08:15] ooooh === quassel251 is now known as jussi01 [08:16] hehehe [08:16] grr [08:16] haha [08:16] soo [08:16] * jussi01 is getting a touchbook :) [08:16] :D [08:16] jussi01: is quassel251 your trolling nick? :) [08:16] elky: good luck with it, I have vista at home, but it has not been booted (by me) for a year odd [08:17] topyli: no, its the default nick while I wait for my db to get fixed... [08:17] jussi01: I use chipmonk for trollings :p [08:17] Gary: you are a chipmunk... [08:17] :P [08:17] What's Sam2 doing in #u? [08:18] I don't know, but I'm kicking him soon [08:18] Gary, considering this craptop i type into now is 512mb ram, an almost-never-scaling 1.8mhz sempron, requires an external wifi adaptor, has a battery life of half an hour and input 'peripherals' that are starting to require belting around.... [08:18] great reason there Myrtti [08:19] caps lock abuse!! [08:19] Gary: it's my new default. nicked it from someone [08:19] elky: how old is this current machine? [08:19] i forget. i got it about 6 months before i went to UDS mt view in 2006 iirc. [08:20] probably a bit later than 6mths before [08:20] but it's 2.5 years and it was the cheapest non-acer laptop i could find. [08:20] wow, I think I am just a bit stupid on hardware then, my oldest machine is a mac mini, which sits under the telly as a media centre, bought in early 2007 [08:21] compaq v2627AU [08:21] ooh, compaq [08:21] so it's not shitty by default [08:21] probably quite good one for a laptop of it's age [08:22] I just sold my old july 2007 macbook pro to a work mate [08:22] yeah, it wasnt crap, but it was the baseline cheapest model around at the time [08:22] only cost me like AUD$800 [08:22] the damn maniac paid in cash, so I think I am going to get mugged on the way home, as I cannot get to a bank here [08:24] heh [08:25] it was nice to pass the machine onto someone who looks like they are turning into a well groomed macwhore (he also just bought a iphone) [08:25] also he is really interested in open source stuffs :-) [08:26] do banks pike early in the UK too? many close like 4pm here, it's really annoying [08:26] ewwww macwhores... [08:27] I work in the middle of nowhere [08:27] yeah, i'd only take a mac if it were given to me. [08:27] meh, I love my macs [08:27] oh, i dont begrudge you. i just wouldn't pay that much for so little. [08:27] imho the build quality & design is super (yes it also costs waaay too much) [08:28] i just cannot justify spending what they ask for, even if they have superior build quality. i'm quite happy to settle for the middle ground, which i've done. [08:30] had i infinate money, i'd probably think differently, but i dont. [08:31] elky: well yeah, the money was not an issue (thank goodness) and when I was looking for a laptop I wanted "the best" (within reason, hence no sony) [08:31] oh, and the benefit of buying from Dell SMB... "#Security Software No Security Trialware" [08:31] yeah, woot, I'd still format their build and re-install though (hate OEM builds) [08:32] hehe, the reinstall would probably have the trialware stuck on it somewhere anyway [08:32] I've seen some right messed up installs from OEM's (I am a IT support guy, and deal with probably thousands of installs a year) [08:32] that's how hp/compaq do it [08:32] hp/compaq only do recovery partitions :( [08:33] dell include OEM discs at least iirc [08:33] hp include a standard windows install media, and a add-on dvd for the other rubbish [08:33] elky: the HP's we buy include DVD media [08:33] Gary, not my two compaqs they didn't [08:33] maybe it's a option? [08:33] this is also 2.5-4 years ago too [08:33] recovery partitions suck [08:35] not an option for off-the-shelf in .au in my experience [08:35] the UK/EU might differ there [08:36] it might be as we are classed as a large business/enterprise [08:36] yeah, possibly [08:37] 'you will include install media, or we will not buy those thousand desktops, kthxbai' [08:37] yeah, it does go like that sometimes [08:38] we had fun buying servers last year, "sell them to me at this price or i'll go elsewhere" [08:39] mind you, due to the stupid location, BT managed to rip us off for a £60K install for the data fibre [08:39] and took 8 months to install the ISDN30 [08:40] that's how telecommunications changes happen in australia. my boss knew the guy who initiated 'company bundles' here. walked into the biggest provider and said 'i want 1000 handsets, and one bill' .. they said no. walked into next biggest provider and said 'i want 1000 handsets and one bill, and $biggest_provider has already lost their chance' and so, company billing was born.
