[00:22] <czajkowski> I'm gonna regret tomorrow not going to bed!
[00:43]  * 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  :-P
[00:43] <JanC> (using vpnc)
[00:44] <JanC> apparently has non-functional vpnc or such
[00:44] <JanC> apparently Win7 *
[00:47] <JanC> ROFL, so, the VPN wizard requires internet access, otherwise it won't configure the vpnc
[00:48] <JanC> and of course there is no internet access until after a vpnc VPN is setup  :P
[03:01] <nigelbabu> did everyone who has to catch a flight catch one? akgraner ? pleia2 ?
[03:01] <akgraner> pleia2, was able too

[03:30] <akgraner> NCommander is on the same flight so if he made it out so did she :-)
[03:31] <maco> akgraner: dan's flight got a flat tire and had to turn back when it hit the ocean :P
[03:31] <maco> flat tire was during takeout
[03:31] <maco> *takeoff
[03:31] <akgraner> oh wow
[03:31] <maco> they're putting on new tires right now

[10:13] <jussi> nigelbabu: if he comesback, we can deal with it.
[10:14] <jussi> he likely did it elsewhere also, and got a ticket off the network
[10:15] <nigelbabu> jussi: great, thanks :)
[10:23] <czajkowski> aloha from brussels
[10:24] <nigelbabu> czajkowski: yaay! you got there :)

[10:25] <czajkowski> not yet
[10:25] <czajkowski> pens 4 hrs late
[10:25] <nigelbabu> oh, ouch
[10:27] <JanC_> Penelope's flight is marked as delayed on the Brussels Airport website
[10:28] <czajkowski> it is delayed
[10:28] <czajkowski> by 4 hrs
[10:28] <JanC_> pleia should com in around 12h local time
[10:29] <JanC> 11:56
[10:29] <nigelbabu> in a few minutes then :)
[10:29] <nigelbabu> wonder what happened to dan though
[10:30] <JanC> seems like crimsun/dchen's flight got cancelled too
[10:30] <jussi> czajkowski: how was the trip from airport to hotel?
[10:31] <czajkowski> smooth
[10:31] <czajkowski> coach
[10:31] <czajkowski> door tro door
[10:31] <jussi> easy to find?
[10:31] <czajkowski> yes
[10:31] <czajkowski> ubuntu sign
[10:31] <nigelbabu> w00t, can't miss that one then
[10:36] <JanC> KenVanDine's flight was also cancelled?
[10:40]  * JanC has to go now
[10:48] <czajkowski> aye
[11:16] <jussi> nigelbabu: are you going to uds?
[11:16] <nigelbabu> jussi: nah, just remote participation for me
[11:17] <bencrisford> nigelbabu: I'll even have trouble with that :(, I'll only get home in time for the last session of the day for most of the week
[11:18] <nigelbabu> bencrisford: I'm on leave from work for the entire week :D
[11:18] <bencrisford> nigelbabu: jealous :(
[11:18]  * bencrisford cannot really get leave from school :P
[11:19] <nigelbabu> hehe
[11:19] <nigelbabu> I'm changing jobs, so I can do as I please ;)
[11:19] <bencrisford> fortunately, the school sysadmins are awesome enough to leave webchat.f.n unblocked :)
[11:20] <nigelbabu> bencrisford: ssh into a sever
[11:20] <nigelbabu> keep irssi running on a screen and ssh into it with putty or kitty
[11:21] <bencrisford> nigelbabu: neat idea :), but wont be easy...
[11:22] <nigelbabu> bencrisford: it is if you can find a severe
[11:22] <nigelbabu> *server
[11:22] <bencrisford> nigelbabu: theres no need anyway, webchat.f.n is unblocked
[11:22] <bencrisford> the only thing I cant access is icecast and gobby
[11:23] <bencrisford> unless there is a windows version for gobby?
[11:23] <nigelbabu> icecast you can try with vlc
[11:24] <bencrisford> vlc is portable?
[11:25] <nigelbabu> vlc is definitely on windows too
[11:26] <bencrisford> yeah, but does it run without having to install?  i.e. can I stick it on a USB and run it
[11:26] <bencrisford> like I can with firefox
[11:27] <nigelbabu> ah, that, checking
[11:27] <nigelbabu> bencrisford: http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable
[11:27] <bencrisford> nigelbabu: yay :D
[11:28]  * bencrisford finds a windows lappy under a pile of cds
[11:28] <bencrisford> ill test putty and vlc on it :)
[11:35] <bencrisford> nigelbabu: ok, putty seems to work :D
[11:35] <bencrisford> vlc is still installing on my usb
[11:36] <nigelbabu> bencrisford: dont forget to get the keys set up right
[11:36] <nigelbabu> you might also want to download puttygen
[11:36] <bencrisford> nigelbabu: im pretty happy with webchat.f.n tbh
[11:36] <bencrisford> I don't think ill bother setting it up for UDS
[11:36] <bencrisford> but its good to know that I *could* set it up
[11:36] <nigelbabu> yeah, its nice to have
[11:37] <bencrisford> if I get time today I might check it out again
[11:37] <bencrisford> but I got a load of stuff to do today :(
[12:52] <cjohnston> anyone else having any issues getting to brussels?
[12:54] <nigelbabu> so far, dan and gang are the least lucky

[17:40] <bencrisford> popey: AlanBell: If you need to kill time check if the WHSmith sells Ubuntu User :D, I always do when i'm bored in a shopping centre :)
[17:40] <bencrisford> (I know i'm sad ;))
[17:41] <nigelbabu> haha
[17:41] <nigelbabu> bencrisford: btw, gobby is multiplatform, i.e. can work on windows :)
[17:42] <bencrisford> nigelbabu: cool :D!  i'll see if I can get it portable for my USB later :)
[17:42] <bencrisford> (brb)
[17:45] <AlanBell> bencrisford: good reminder, but I am going to look for PC live, which has a kind of interview with the #ubuntu-uk crowd in it
[17:54] <bencrisford> AlanBell: cool :), I'll check PC live out next time im in the shop
[18:32] <JanC> hm, the ATM listed as "nearest ATM" is 5km further than the one that's really nearest  :P
[18:34] <nigelbabu> JanC: canonical plots to have everyone have a good exercise :D
[18:35] <JanC> no, somebody has been putting info on that page thinking a Hotel in La Hulpe must be closest to La Hulpe, while the hotel is really closer to Hoeilaart  ;)
[18:37] <JanC> same with the list of restaurants etc.
[18:38] <akgraner> Scott Richie  - is at the airport now as well :-)
[18:38] <JanC> akgraner: you leaving soon?
[18:38] <akgraner> 3 hours or so
[18:40] <nigelbabu> akgraner: there?
[18:41] <akgraner> yeah working on UWN
[18:41] <akgraner> what's up
[18:46] <czajkowski> aloha
[18:47] <bencrisford> czajkowski: hey :), how was Dr Who :P?
[18:54] <czajkowski> fantastic
[18:56] <bencrisford> czajkowski: was it the vampire one?
[18:56]  * bencrisford saw that yesterday :)
[19:55] <maco> czajkowski: you said you're at UDS already right? have any of the kubuntu folks arrived yet?
[19:58] <nigelbabu> maco: besides lyz and pendulum? ;)
[19:58] <maco> nigelbabu: *k*ubuntu
[19:58] <nigelbabu> maco: bah, minority :D
[19:58]  * nigelbabu runs
[19:59] <maco> scottk has apparently.  so agateau, riddell, rgreening...
[19:59] <nigelbabu> aha!
[21:03] <bencrisford1> nigelbabu: I think ive found a portable gobby :D
[21:03] <nigelbabu> bencrisford1: w00t
[21:04] <bencrisford1> nigelbabu: its a development version
[21:04] <bencrisford1> made by the same website as the vlc one I think
[21:04] <bencrisford1> hopefully wont be too buggy
[21:04] <bencrisford1> and hopefully school sysadmins wont have blocked the ports it uses
[21:06] <nigelbabu> too many hopefully there
[21:10] <bencrisford1> yeah, well our sysadmins seem to be kind of rubbish at school
[21:10] <bencrisford1> there is an "uninstall_flash_flayer.exe" in the resources for students folder :P
[21:11] <bencrisford1> google images is blocked, but webchat.freenode isnt
[21:11] <bencrisford1> or chat sites like zingled
[21:11] <nigelbabu> meebo?
[21:12] <bencrisford1> meebo is blocked I think
[21:12] <bencrisford1> thats for msn and stuff right?
[21:12] <bencrisford1> IM
[21:12] <nigelbabu> yep
[21:12] <bencrisford1> I think thats blocked
[21:13] <nigelbabu> hm :/
[21:13] <bencrisford1> the filter I think weights keywords, so the words "online games" and "chat" are weighted *NEGATIVE*
[21:13] <bencrisford1> a quick google of the software told me that
[21:14] <nigelbabu> norton?
[21:14] <bencrisford1> not norton
[21:14] <bencrisford1> cant remember what its called
[21:14] <bencrisford1> id never heard of it
[21:15] <qense> Our school filters everything with games and anonymous in it.
[21:15] <qense> So also the coverage of the Olympic Games.
[21:15] <qense> Everything with Proxy as well.
[21:16] <bencrisford1> qense: yeah tell me about it :D
[21:16] <bencrisford1> the "stupidcensorship" proxies are also on https://
[21:16] <bencrisford1> and they seem to work
[21:16] <qense> hidemyass isn't filtered
[21:17] <bencrisford1> porkwallet(dot)com seems to work for me :)
[21:17] <bencrisford1> http:// or https://
[21:17] <qense> Fortunately I manage the iMac lab, so I have access to the wireless network uncensored. Not that I have a laptop. ;)
[21:18] <bencrisford1> qense: heh, nice :D
[21:18] <bencrisford1> porkwallet is parked :D
[21:18] <bencrisford1> :O*
[21:18] <bencrisford1> whaaat :(
[21:18] <qense> I see no reason to abuse it, there isn't anything I can't do on school without censorship that I cannot do with.
[21:19] <qense> bencrisford1: Proxies are expensive. ;)
[21:19] <qense> Maybe the earn money by first getting popular and then parking the domain.
[21:19] <bencrisford1> qense: probably, pretty smart plan actually
[21:20] <bencrisford1> the only thing I want to get around the filter for is IM - ebuddy etc.
[21:20] <bencrisford1> I get it free on my nokia, but is not the same ;)
[21:20] <JanC> what gobby-version are we going to use?
[21:21] <JanC> as there is teh old protoco land the new one
[21:21] <qense> JanC: The wiki still says we'll use the old version, but then the wiki texts haven't been updated in a while.
[21:21] <qense> I've heard people talk about Etherpad, but I don't think that'll be used.
[21:21] <JanC> oh well, can always install at UDS  ☺
[21:21] <qense> yeah, the wireless's not bad here.
[21:22] <qense> Just some ports are blocked.
[21:22] <qense> Like 8001
[21:22] <bencrisford1> what port is gobby.ubuntu.com?
[21:22] <JanC> qense: WTF?
[21:22] <qense> good one
[21:22] <qense> JanC: I'm using 6667 right now.
[21:22] <qense> JanC: Some people had trouble SSH'ing to their home machines.
[21:22] <qense> not all
[21:23] <qense> Default Gobby port is 6522
[21:23] <qense> Lets see if it works.
[21:23] <bencrisford1> not working
[21:23] <qense> no!
[21:23] <qense> I'll bug jcastro right away.
[21:23] <bencrisford1> and my portable gobby is talking to me in dutch :/
[21:23] <qense> ?
[21:23] <bencrisford1> qense: can you translate please? :D
[21:24] <qense> bencrisford1: of course
[21:24] <qense> Blast away
[21:24] <bencrisford1> geen datarecord van aangevraagd type
[21:24] <qense> bencrisford1: no datarecord of the requested type
[21:24] <qense> I'll check downstarts for Jorge!
[21:24] <qense> afk
[21:24] <bencrisford1> ohhh, could it be that im not connected to the internet :P
[21:24] <qense> bencrisford1: You can always ask JanC
[21:25] <qense> I am
[21:25] <bencrisford1> not having gobby dont make too much difference to me, for tommorrow it wont anyway
[21:26] <bencrisford1> the only time ill be able to get on IRC/Gobby is when everyone's at lunch :P
[21:29] <JanC> bencrisford1: you never know with geeks  ;)
[21:29] <bencrisford1> JanC: lol
[21:30] <bencrisford1> hmm, is there a list of the uds-irc-rooms anywhere?
[21:30] <bencrisford1> dw, got it :)
[21:30] <JanC> I remember chatting on IRC with people sitting next to me at the table on other events, so...
[21:32] <bencrisford1> :D
[21:33] <JanC> of course, other people (not local) were involved too, so that might be an excuse  ;)
[21:34] <bencrisford1> well I should be on about 1pm your time tommorrow :)
[21:34] <bencrisford1> i'll check out gobby and irc for whats been happening then :D
[21:35] <bencrisford1> until then, im gonna get some sleep ;)

[21:36] <nigelbabu> bencrisford1: sleeeping throuh uds isnt what i envisioned for this week though
[21:37] <bencrisford1> nigelbabu: thats why god invented caffeine ;)
[21:37] <bencrisford1> qense: ok, ty.  is it just #ubuntu-uds-ROOMNAME
[21:37] <bencrisford1> because the roomnames are on summit.u.c right?
