davmor2cr3: morning, cool tips by the way.  The refactoring stuff and more on loops is in a latter chapter I just saw the two code blocks and though I can combine them :)14:08
davmor2fader_: morning14:08
fader_davmor2: Hey dude14:08
davmor2ara: I've only got the latest dailies is that or right for the tests as the a1 images seem to of vanished from the server now?14:09
aradavmor2, dailies are fine, tahnks14:09
cr3ara: hi there, my holiday hat doesn't include holiday testing. mind if I get back to you in january?14:13
aracr3, indeed, are you talking about the email I sent you?14:14
cr3ara: yep14:15
aracr3, of course, I am just sending pre holidays email to keep things up to date, but, it is not urgent, tahnks :)14:15
cr3ara: no worries, I'm trying to keep my inbox lean so that I don't spent january answering emails14:16
davmor2cr3: you mad fool you'll never empty it and have a holiday14:18
cr3davmor2: just keep it "lean", emptying is impossible14:19
davmor2cr3: no you just click select all, then hit delete, of course if you actually want to read it that's another matter :D14:21
cr3davmor2: I totally wish I could do that, I'm almost thinking of letting my laptop get stolen just to have my inbox emptied :)14:26
fader_cr3: Not using IMAP?14:26
cr3davmor2: by the way, "click" is not in my vocabulary, I use a window manager called rat poison for a reason :)14:26
cr3fader_: nope, I have encountered many situations where having email available locally be a good thing and imap synchronization was not worth it14:27
cr3fader_: I'm very impatient and, if I can't get to my email quickly when there's no bandwidth, all hell breaks loose14:28
fader_cr3: Huh.  I'm not sure what the difference between using IMAP synchronization and fetchmail or whatever is, but whatever works for you :)14:28
fader_*other than your mail also living on the server as well as on your local system, that is14:28
cr3fader_: what do you use for imap synchronization?14:29
fader_cr3: evolution :)14:29
fader_I like that I can have all my mail cached locally for my main system but select specific folders for my netbook14:29
cr3fader_: ugh, I'm not even going there14:30
fader_Hehe14:30
fader_cr3: I'm sure there's a service somewhere for luddites like you that prints your email and snail-mails it to you.14:33
cr3fader_: I'd rather have that than use a monolithic application like evolution14:34
fader_There's always Thunderbird14:34
fader_But I know, nothing is quite like 'tail /var/spool/mail/cr3' :)14:35
davmor2cr3: you should try have you tried crunchbang?14:36
davmor2cr3: Lets try that again have you tried crunchbang?14:37
cr3davmor2: I use ratpoison because it embraces knowledge reuse by reusing similar key bindings as screen14:40

* ara takes a break15:27
davmor2cr3: if that is the case why not just use byobu on a server install :D16:35
davmor2sbeattie: you around?16:40
sbeattiedavmor2: not really. What's up?16:41
davmor2sbeattie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/185878  is there a way to get a cd image with this version of grub on to see if it still balls's up the install which was the issue reported I've checked that the new version doesn't cause a regression with a standard install16:43
ubot4Launchpad bug 185878 in grub "GRUB installation fails if installing to certain non-ext3 filesystems" [High,Fix committed]16:43
sbeattiedavmor2: boot hardy live media and then install grub from hardy-proposed? Otherwise, I'd ask in the bug report for suggestions on how to test.16:58
davmor2sbeattie: ta will do16:59
