[00:17] sidewalk cross-trolling? [00:17] bazhang: oh - i'm only watching him in #debian [00:17] LjL, he is doing same in #ubuntu [00:23] second time sebsebseb's getting on my nerves today [00:24] heh [00:24] its an ongoing occurence with me [00:24] never quite gets off them [00:25] he'll shortly quit in a huff. [00:28] i'm feeling triggery. [00:28] very triggery. [00:28] he just encourages others to act lolcats [00:34] any way to put a time limit on a mute? I recall some freenode folks mentioning this (like 10 minutes for example) [00:34] anything to avoid re-populating the ban list :) [00:36] bazhang: only if you have a script to do that [00:37] LjL, okay thanks; too worried that old xchat and chanserv.py bug will resurface to throw that in the mix :) [00:44] ha ha so funny. [00:45] its true: lately unbanning via the gui flashes every single ban in the channel (making me think I just removed all bans) [00:47] bazhang: i didn't mean you, i meant sebsebseb [00:48] LjL, okay [00:48] sebsebseb> meshuggah: if I was a mod I might boot you out ha ha :D nah not really since you seem ok [00:49] :/ [00:49] yes, that [00:51] so 'mods' only boot people they dislike essentially [00:51] doesn't concern me [00:51] i'm not a mod [00:52] hehe [00:52] he's pre-emptively setting himself as a 'victim' [00:52] though you have to forgive them... some people - LIKE JDONG - actually have the word "mods" instead of "ops" in their channel's very topic. [00:52] eww [00:53] (that name, not the word 'mods') [00:53] :P [00:53] oh wait [00:54] pyckupline: oh say can you see [00:54] wha? [00:54] * bazhang huggles jdong for making sych a gryt bot [00:54] another? [00:54] checkout #uf [00:55] #unf? [00:55] is there #pak and #chooi as well? [00:55] ubuntuforums thx [00:55] i... don't get it [00:55] better than the bot in trivia [00:56] whats up with pHreaksYcle in ot? [00:57] also, LjL, sebx3 is in -ot, so you can talk in there [00:57] yeah [00:58] jdong: my disk is broken alright :( took a tar backup, reformatted, was restoring it... fs went read-only again while i was restoring it. [00:59] nalioth: can you please have ubot3 re-join #ubuntu-us-nm? Thanks! [01:00] tritium: i could join ubotwo meanwhile [01:00] LjL: sure, thank you. [01:01] LjL: OUCH :( [01:01] LjL: do you just want me to kick ubotwo when ubot3 re-joins? [01:01] jdong: well... at least it's under warranty [01:01] tritium: give me a reminder too when ubot3 joins, or ubotwo will join again next time it reconnects to the server [01:02] LjL: ok, thanks. Will do. [01:02] jdong: i did hope solid state wouldn't suck *this* much, though. [01:05] LjL: unfortunately they all seem to. [01:05] LjL: we just had some people on campus report that a database journal on an X25-E died about 4 months into usage. [01:07] so which bot is where, tritium ? [01:07] tritium's a bot? [01:07] nalioth: LjL gave us Ubotwo, on loan, until we could get ubot3 back. [01:08] jdong: You never know, do you? ;) [01:08] tritium: well is it that you never know, do you that I feel you are a bot? [01:08] Thanks, nalioth. LjL you can remove Ubotwo, if you like. [01:08] ;-) [01:09] Thanks to you as well, LjL. [01:10] jdong: i don't understand, i could have understood losing the root disk... (the eeepc 901 has two disks), but /home? it's not like it gets written to all that often [01:11] LjL: well if you want my blunt opinion on it, the Eee comes with a tiny high-quality SSD and a cost-cutting big one for the spec sheet. [01:11] LjL: to be honest I'd trust a digital camera SD/CF card more than the auxiliary SSD [01:11] (I am an Eeepc owner) [01:12] jdong: do you tweak things to limit writes? [01:12] jdong: well i assumed the main drawback of the cost-cutting big one was speed. [01:14] jdong: know anything about those 90x models with only a single ssd? (there are such, right?) [01:15] That would be my one concern with SSDs. [01:16] tritium: not sure it's *so* relevant in practice. this ssd of mine failed with really few writes - there's many more writes on the other one, with stuff writing to syslog all the time for starters [01:16] i guess if an ssd is decent, it'll last like your average hd even if you treat it badly [01:16] if it's not then well [01:18] c0rrupted/matrixhomie in #k [01:20] jdong: will formatting with -c possibly give me a working filesystem, or is it no use on flash? [01:56] LjL: I don't believe -c is any use due to wear leveling [01:56] physical defects are different locations from logical addresses [01:56] yes that's what i was thinking... [01:57] jdong: although - it's probably too early to say - but it might have just been some bug in adamm's kernel that i was using. i've booted into a vanilla ubuntu kernel, and it's copying stuff fine for now... [01:57] of course it may also be just chance. [01:57] LjL: certainly filesystem corruption could be a kernel-ish problem. [02:00] jdong: though, since it happened pretty much every time i touched it, it logically should also have happened on the other drive, if that's the case [02:00] hmm they are the same bus right? (i.e. use the same kernel driver) [02:03] jdong: scsi@1:0.0.0 and scsi@1:0.1.0 according to lshw [02:03] LjL: I assume both are hooked up to ata piix? [02:04] jdong: in english? [02:04] the kernel module responsible for accessing it [02:04] is it a standard Intel PIIX? [02:04] (dmesg should provide hints as to which scsi driver finds the drive) [02:08] jdong: i honestly don't know how to read it. the first clear mention i see of them is from "ata2.00" and "ata2.01" [02:08] jdong: there's also "scsi0 : ata_piix" and "scsi1 : ata_piix" [02:08] (keep in mind i have a third drive connected now) [02:09] though anyway this is with the ubuntu kernel, so who knows whether it's any different with adamm... [02:10] LjL: right, ata_piix is handling the drives both [02:10] so if it were a driver problem it should've affected both. [02:10] still, it's still copying stuff without complaining [02:13] oddness [02:13] well when will be the next wear-leveling rotation of death? :D [02:14] jdong: right now i think. [02:14] jdong: my log has just filled up with stuff about "new_block: Allocating block in system zone" [02:14] eep [02:14] jdong: although this time it's not remounted r/o yet... [02:16] jdong: why doesn't the stupid thing at least mark bad blocks as bad and stop fscking using them? >: [02:16] LjL: because nobody paid them to ;-) [02:16] jdong: but my FLOPPIES do that! [02:17] christ. [02:17] LjL: yeah, unfortunately SSDs are pretty primitive and IMO primarily a cost-cutting measure in netbooks. [02:17] I'd personally rather have a nice Hitachi 4200RPM drive [02:17] the ones that take 50G's of operating shock and 1000G's of nonoperating. [02:20] jdong: i suppose i'd have had a HDD if the 901 ever came with one... [02:21] jdong: i think now they're stopping making 90x-sized machines entirely. at least asus are, and i don't see any of the others making them [02:21] LjL: the Dell Mini 9 is roughly that side right? [02:21] and that size is already on the too-big side for me, i bought this as a Psion replacement [02:21] jdong: the dell probably isn't sold in italy, i haven't seen it anywhere at all, including online shops [02:22] oh :( [02:23] jdong: what we have here is the eee's, the acer ones (bit big), the horrible HP Compaqs, the Samsung NC10 (my mother has it, it's nice), and if you're lucky the Wind [02:23] LjL: yeah of the ones you listed, the NC10 and the Wind are nice. [02:23] jdong: but while fine for my mom, they're not the right size for me [02:24] jdong: there's also a new 10" acer one around now, it looks decent though i haven't very much investigated [02:24] the keyboard feels the best [02:24] * jdong nods [02:24] while the eee keyboard, meh [02:24] yeah I have a mini9 and an eee and neither's keyboards impress me. [02:24] and it's not at all about the size [02:24] the mini 9 is a little bit better [02:24] but both are flaky [02:24] they're certainly no Macbook. [02:25] i guess not, but then the samsung keyboard is pretty fine (aside from the enter key that gets stuck a little but who cares), and the acers feel wonderful to me [02:25] the wind - not sure, only got my hands on it once [02:31] jdong: the dell's a little bigger than the eeepc, but just a little... i suppose i'd have considered it if i'd actually seen it anywhere [02:32] jdong: it even comes with one bigger ssd, so you err, lose more data at once. [02:32] I'll be looking closely at the Dell Mini 10, once they offer some of the promised upgrades (720p display, integrated TV tuner, etc.) [02:33] higher resolution is what's missing from mom's NC10 [02:33] i can deal with the smallness, after all for me it replaces a psion... but 1024x600 is tight for most people given today's software and sites [02:33] (which is crazy, but not much i can do about it) [02:34] i mean hell, neither kde's nor gnome's *solitaires* fit [02:37] LjL: it comes with a single SSD too. [02:41] jdong: yes, the question is, is it the eee-4gb kind, or the eee-16gb kind... and i'd suspect the latter or how would they keep similar prices [02:43] (lucky thing besides that i just bought an external HD (technically for my dad), or i wouldn't have been able to back the eeepc up to begin with...) [02:43] LjL: it's about 22MB/s random [02:44] jdong: that's pretty impressingly fast isn't it? [02:46] it's as fast as IMO a SSD on a netbook needs to be [02:46] it's definitely no intel X25 but any faster won't help in a weakling netbook [02:48] jdong: well hddparm on the eeepc gives me some 10MB/s (not quite random, either) iirc [02:49] jdong: still, will "fast" be tied to "reliable"? [02:51] I'm not sure [02:51] I've only had it for a few weeks [02:52] jdong: you've got an eeepc *and* a mini 9? and? [02:53] lol that's it. [02:54] not a huge netbook fan [02:54] jdong: are you one of those forum dwellers who go like "Well, I have to say after I sold my 700 and got my 901 I felt happier, but this NC10 gives me some new emotions for sure. Shame they've already bought it on eBay, but oh well, I'll have the Wind U100 to play with" [02:55] haha no [02:55] I hate doing the buy-and-sell thing. [02:55] I do the "every part is used" native american hunting thing. [02:55] the eeepc is a security camera [02:56] jdong: oh about that - you don't happen to know of any way to grab shots without the led lighting up? [02:56] LjL: ugh currently no, I think it's firmware tied sadly [02:56] (no, i'm not spying on anyone.) [02:56] lol I will admit to that :) [02:56] feared so [02:57] jdong: i actually just wanted to use it to auto-adjust screen brightness. [02:57] brilliant idea [02:57] but is it worth the 3W power draw? :D [02:57] jdong: wasn't planning on keeping it on, just a quick grab every 30 seconds or so [02:58] (hope it doesn't have a spike current...) [02:59] yeah that's a really really neat project :) [03:00] jdong: other thing i wanted to try with the webcam was opengazer, but i can't get it to compile for the heck of me [03:17] The bot in #Ubuntu-read-topic can't test me, and I need to be tested manually. [03:20] Until_It_Sleeps, do you always use the same nickname? [03:21] yes [03:21] and where did you get banned from? [03:22] No, I just wish to be tested so I can see which network/port to take off my autoconnect list. [03:22] Chatzilla is a little screwy when it comes to ports and stuff... [03:23] #ubuntu-read-topic only tests people who are quarantined from #ubuntu. it's not a whim service [03:23] ah... that's why it's not doing it. [03:23] yes. if you're not banned from #ubuntu, it wont test you [03:24] you have to be in it's list [03:27] So, does that mean you won't be able to/aren't willing to test me? [03:28] you'll have to wait for someone who knows how [03:29] Oh :| [04:07] * Funkeh` (n=funk@WoWUIDev/WoWAce/Ace3/BigWigs/funkeh) has joined #ubuntu <--- what a cloak.... [06:43] someone please get paddy off me [07:08] !away > FlareDS [08:48] elky: I think the correct syntax is "victim Until_It_Sleeps" [08:50] i figured it out about 1 second before he /quit [08:51] why do I know that nick... [08:51] because you've probably had to victim it a few times [08:53] mmm... soup [08:53] vegetable soup at that [08:54] mm... Id love some tomato soup... [08:55] this is 'country harvest' and it has potato, turnip, celery, carrot, peas, green beans, pinto beans, and barley in it [08:55] i used to hate beans, but i seem to not mind them now. [08:56] baked beans are still eww though [08:56] hehe [08:56] * jussi01 likes baked beans also [08:56] if only there'd be refried beans in Finland [08:56] oh, it has onion in it too [08:56] they made excellent cheesy bean dip for tortilla chips [08:57] Myrtti, you cant even get it in cans? [08:58] I know I could make it myself but no, that's what I meant, no canned refried beans anywhere [08:58] ow [08:58] once upon a time about six years ago my sister did see a can or two [08:58] of all the weird things you finns eat, but not that... [08:59] Myrtti, it's also good to throw in a lasagna if you cant be bothered mashing 4 bean salad mix [08:59] Myrtti: behnfords in helsinki [08:59] in the world trade center iirc [09:00] jussi01: that's no consolation for a person who doesn't live within ten km radius of the Three Smiths [09:00] hehe [09:00] not with the amount of Mexican me and my sister eat, anyway [09:02] and behnfords is ridiculously expensive anyway... [09:03] Myrtti, i found some TVP the other day too. now i just need to figure how to use it [09:03] strips or crushed? [09:04] they're all lovely though [09:04] Myrtti, it's actually labelled textured soy protein, and it's like big crumbs the size of peas. i could have got bigger crumbs, but i figured this would be better to try with [09:04] the amount of vegans and vegetarians must be substancial in Finland since every grocery store has TVP [09:05] Myrtti, australia is more asian in it's vegetarianism i think [09:06] tofu, tempeh, lentils, beans and chickpeas [09:06] ewww chickpeas [09:06] those I *hate* [09:06] i dont mind them so much [09:07] i'm hungry now [09:07] they're tolerable in a good pesto sauce [09:07] and, i <3 a good hommus [09:07] graah [09:08] why do totally random people want to befriend me in Facebook [09:08] 'cos thats what facebook is for? [09:08] no, it's not [09:09] it's for friends to connect [09:09] oh, so why have I got many stalkers? :p [09:09] hrm, i dont have gary on facebook [09:10] me neither [09:10] I think. no, I don't. [09:10] add me then :p [09:10] too many Gary K's in there :-/ argh [09:11] Myrtti: only one Gary Kearley [09:11] oh, but that one has nine mutual friends with me... [09:11] *click* [09:11] Chipmunk: five [09:12] two in london, one in bristol, one in france and... [09:12] one with a baby. [09:12] *shrug* [09:12] Chipmunk, orange shirt, hugging a black pup? [09:13] elky: I'd guess so [09:13] it's either that or this one http://profile.ak.facebook.com/v226/919/85/s685449245_589.jpg [09:13] since christel has him... [09:14] thats me, added you both [09:14] or this one http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile6/676/10/s549103430_2415.jpg [09:15] when you have ten friends in common, all from irc, including a fair few staff, you just know you are a geek [09:15] since we know you like having muscly men wrap themselves around you [09:15] hehe yeah [09:16] elky: pwned ;-) [09:16] facebook : oh how do I hate thee [09:16] oooo, that reminds me, I so need to stalk jenda more [09:17] Myrtti, so how do i actually use this tvp stuff? [09:18] I soak it up in a veggie stock or something before doing anything to it [09:18] unless I'm making mince meatballs and substitute some of the meat with the coarse tvp crush [09:19] for that they're excellent substitute for eggs in the mixture [09:19] soak up the juices of the meat and all [09:20] it looks like it'd do well in lasagna too [09:20] yup [09:20] I've only used the dark crush and light strips [09:21] i have light crush [09:23] Chipmunk: oh drat. would this be a good reminder to quote the one undeniable truth about men? "all the goodlooking are either taken or gay, or both" [09:23] Myrtti: are you saying I am good looking? [09:23] aww bless :-) [09:23] Chipmunk: people say I'm good looking, for some odd reason... [09:24] Myrtti: you are [09:24] very pretty [09:24] Chipmunk, you both are cute [09:24] now, are you talking me and the dog, or me and tom? :p [09:25] i'm talking you and miia [09:26] I should go out today for a good walk [09:26] there's lots of sunshine and snow [09:26] :-) she is nice - this is fab - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1093609&id=789962064 [09:26] * Myrtti looks at emacs [09:27] Chipmunk: *blush* thank popey for that [09:27] bring back Gary! [09:28] I like the picture Mez took of me at LRL more though [09:28] ooh.. its International Woman's Day today [09:28] (apparently) [09:28] jussi01, yah [09:29] Myrtti, which is that? [09:30] can't find it now... [09:31] :) [09:31] * jussi01 wants to be home already :/ [09:32] * Myrtti slops a plate full of mämmi, cream and sugar to wait for jussi01 === Chipmunk is now known as Gary [09:33] there you go jussi01 [09:33] mammi? [09:34] omnomnom [09:34] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4mmi [09:35] Gary: :) [09:35] lent delicacy ♥ [09:36] ooh, like a pudding? [09:36] * jussi01 hasnt properly tried mämmi yet :P [09:36] mämmi with proper cream and touch of sugar is bliss [09:36] though *cough* I should have it with skimmed milk [09:36] * elky looks at all the [weasel words] in the article [09:37] Professor Hely Tuorila of Helsinki University conducted research in the United States of America as part of a project on the acceptance of ethnic foods. This was carried out in the early 1990s by the US Army Natick RD&E Center [10]. On the Food Neophobia Scale which resulted it found that on the whole: "Finnish foods did not do too well". [09:37] [weasel words]? [09:37] LOL [09:37] *snork* [09:37] hahah [09:39] Myrtti, finnish foods are probably not nearly sweet, salty or fried enough [09:39] elky: yeah, our foods are bland at best [09:40] I should have some break... erm. brunch [09:40] they used to be salty (not that it helps) but the health mafia took even that away [09:41] mmmm butter [09:41] salty is only ok with certain foods. potatoes for example [09:41] salty butter! [09:41] salty butter with new potatoes! [09:41] i prefer my taters salty and greasy [09:41] Myrtti, and garlic! [09:41] the most sinful dish ever invented [09:42] cooked new tatties with salty butter [09:42] it has the overload of everything bad [09:42] carbs, salt, hard fats [09:42] baby taters with garlic butter is pure yum [09:44] though, of ingenious foods I think grouse spiced with juniper berries is quite nice [09:45] and spicy to the definition of spicy. [10:01] topyli, i'm sure you're thinking the exact same thing i'm thinking right now about -women :P [10:02] elky: i am in fact thinking about women, but not the channel :) [10:02] lol [10:03] women in rwanda actually. it's the only country with female majority in the parliament. of course, they're not particularly happy about it nevertheless :( [10:05] mmm, rye bread with tomatos and salad leaves and chevre, vanilla oat "yoghurt", french roast coffee with milk, orange juice. [10:05] I feel so bourgeois, even the juice is Tropicana! [12:07] I just love SIP - when both users use Ekiga. Most apps fuck up the NAT reversal, ekiga does not [12:08] oops. [12:08] * Myrtti gets a bar of White Musk soap [12:08] * Myrtti feels bad for being frustrated at sip clients [12:09] aprilhare :/ [12:14] 这里有谁性狗娘养？ this time is a remove [12:17] +1 [12:17] its nasty [12:34] phew i think this means i went a day without having aprilhare pester me [12:54] bazhang called the ops in #kubuntu (jillsmitt) [12:59] bazhang: sorry, slow response there [13:00] ikonia, I warned him in -ru to no avail; trolling from there is zero tolerance after what happened in past [13:00] I agree [13:01] another "serverloft" user [13:01] nice eye [13:02] another, or the same? [13:02] who knows [13:03] not the same I would guess [13:03] abra is using the same host in #ubuntu [13:12] would it be possible to get "This channel is English only" added to the fist line of all loco-channel factoids [13:13] !fi [13:13] Suomenkielinen keskustelu (K)Ubuntusta kanavilla #ubuntu-fi ja #kubuntu-fi [13:13] hmmm [13:14] ikonia: not really [13:14] Myrtti: what does that translate to [13:14] Finnish discussion about (K)ubuntu on channels ... [13:14] ikonia: I was just thinking that the clones of ubottu are on several loco channels as well [13:14] Myrtti: it would be nice to explain why they are hitting with the factoids, if they don't understand english it seems rude [13:15] eg: the channel you are in is English only, if you want finish chat join #ubuntu-fi [13:15] so saying !se on -fi, having the factoid say "This channel is English only" [13:16] or in !ses' case "Denna kanal är för endast engelska diskussion om Ubuntu..." [13:16] when -fi is Finnish... [13:18] just poindering as I hit a polish guy with !pt and it came across as "polish is there -> get out" [13:18] only because I don't think he could understand english [13:19] !fi-#ubuntu is Tämä kanava on tarkoitettu vain englanninkieliselle keskustelulle.
