* JanC notes some peopel saying setting up VPN for the network at school is no problem with Ubuntu but a lot of work with Windows :-P00:43
JanC(using vpnc)00:43
JanCapparently has non-functional vpnc or such00:44
JanCapparently Win7 *00:44
JanCROFL, so, the VPN wizard requires internet access, otherwise it won't configure the vpnc00:47
JanCand of course there is no internet access until after a vpnc VPN is setup  :P00:48

=== qense_ is now known as qense
bencrisford1nigelbabu: I think ive found a portable gobby :D21:03
nigelbabubencrisford1: w00t21:03
bencrisford1nigelbabu: its a development version21:04
bencrisford1made by the same website as the vlc one I think21:04
bencrisford1hopefully wont be too buggy21:04
bencrisford1and hopefully school sysadmins wont have blocked the ports it uses21:04
nigelbabutoo many hopefully there21:06
bencrisford1yeah, well our sysadmins seem to be kind of rubbish at school21:10
bencrisford1there is an "uninstall_flash_flayer.exe" in the resources for students folder :P21:10
bencrisford1google images is blocked, but webchat.freenode isnt21:11
bencrisford1or chat sites like zingled21:11
nigelbabumeebo?21:11
bencrisford1meebo is blocked I think21:12
bencrisford1thats for msn and stuff right?21:12
bencrisford1IM21:12
nigelbabuyep21:12
bencrisford1I think thats blocked21:12
nigelbabuhm :/21:13
bencrisford1the filter I think weights keywords, so the words "online games" and "chat" are weighted *NEGATIVE*21:13
bencrisford1a quick google of the software told me that21:13
nigelbabunorton?21:14
bencrisford1not norton21:14
bencrisford1cant remember what its called21:14
bencrisford1id never heard of it21:14
qenseOur school filters everything with games and anonymous in it.21:15
qenseSo also the coverage of the Olympic Games.21:15
qenseEverything with Proxy as well.21:15
bencrisford1qense: yeah tell me about it :D21:16
bencrisford1the "stupidcensorship" proxies are also on https://21:16
bencrisford1and they seem to work21:16
qensehidemyass isn't filtered21:16
bencrisford1porkwallet(dot)com seems to work for me :)21:17
bencrisford1http:// or https://21:17
qenseFortunately I manage the iMac lab, so I have access to the wireless network uncensored. Not that I have a laptop. ;)21:17
bencrisford1qense: heh, nice :D21:18
bencrisford1porkwallet is parked :D21:18
bencrisford1:O*21:18
bencrisford1whaaat :(21:18
qenseI see no reason to abuse it, there isn't anything I can't do on school without censorship that I cannot do with.21:18
qensebencrisford1: Proxies are expensive. ;)21:19
qenseMaybe the earn money by first getting popular and then parking the domain.21:19
bencrisford1qense: probably, pretty smart plan actually21:19
bencrisford1the only thing I want to get around the filter for is IM - ebuddy etc.21:20
bencrisford1I get it free on my nokia, but is not the same ;)21:20
JanCwhat gobby-version are we going to use?21:20
JanCas there is teh old protoco land the new one21:21
qenseJanC: The wiki still says we'll use the old version, but then the wiki texts haven't been updated in a while.21:21
qenseI've heard people talk about Etherpad, but I don't think that'll be used.21:21
JanCoh well, can always install at UDS  ☺21:21
qenseyeah, the wireless's not bad here.21:21
qenseJust some ports are blocked.21:22
qenseLike 800121:22
bencrisford1what port is gobby.ubuntu.com?21:22
JanCqense: WTF?21:22
