[08:25] <czajkowski> morning
[10:32] <duanedesign> morning all
[12:16]  * akgraner yawns with one eye open a very sleepy good morning as well :-)
[12:31] <duanedesign> good morning akgraner
[12:33] <akgraner> duanedesign, thanks you too!
[12:34] <akgraner> I wish there was a script I could run and my laundry would magically be finished
[12:35] <duanedesign> yeah,  sudo apt-get wash laundry   isnt as effective as one would like
[12:36] <duanedesign> i saw my application got mentioned in the UWN.I was very proud :)
[12:52] <akgraner> :-)
[12:53] <akgraner> duanedesign, which application (sorry I don't remember off the top of my head)
[12:54] <akgraner> of course I can't remember where my keys are half the time either right now
[13:01] <duanedesign> akgraner: yes if it was not for Tomboy Notes would forget everything
[13:01] <duanedesign> akgraner, the application was CLI Companion.
[13:02] <akgraner> ahh ok - I read about so many things that I don't always put applications and IRC nicks/names together right a way - clue bat often needed
[13:06] <duanedesign> akgraner: i can imagine
[18:20] <sense> good evening
[18:25] <highvoltage> howdy sense
[18:26] <sense> hi highvoltage
[18:27] <doctormo> duanedesign: ping
[18:27] <nigelb> hola sense, highvoltage, doctormo :)
[18:27] <sense> hello nigelb!
[18:28] <highvoltage> hola nigelb :)
[18:28] <nigelb> sense: its been long since I've seen you around, busy times?
[18:28] <doctormo> hey nigelb highvoltage and sense
[18:29] <sense> hi doctormo
[18:29] <sense> nigelb: We're moving to a different town and I'm in the start of a new school year. I haven't been very motivated lately as well.
[18:29]  * nigelb hugs sense :)
[18:30] <sense> Our new house really is below sea level! :P There is even a bit of water in the space underneath the floor.
[18:30] <nigelb> wow
[18:31] <sense> That's just groundwater, though. :)
[18:31] <sense> The biggest problem of living in a low country.
[18:38] <duanedesign> hello doctormo
[18:38] <duanedesign> and friends
[18:42] <doctormo> duanedesign: We need to compare notes
[18:42] <duanedesign> duanedesign: sure thing
[18:55] <highvoltage> sense: I think lack of motivation is a natural part of the motivation cycle. I've been feeling demotivated about some things for a while, and the last week I've just suddently had this new burst of energy and just been doing things and it feels great
[18:55] <sense> highvoltage: yeah, true
[18:55] <sense> The upcoming UDS will probably help too. :)
[18:56] <highvoltage> *nod*
[18:56] <highvoltage> I just have the feeling that this uds is going to be a particularly good one
[18:56] <sense> Any UDS is a good one!
[18:57] <highvoltage> true :)
[18:59] <nigelb> highvoltage: I have that feeling too :)
[18:59] <nigelb> sense: Oh, totally agree.
[18:59] <nigelb> Put 300 geeks in a room, what more do you expect other than awesomeness :)
[18:59] <sense> a crashed network
[18:59] <nigelb> hahhaha, good one
[19:00] <nigelb> I think IS is used to it now.
[19:00] <sense> 'Oh no! You really don't need to bring your own network! We've been providing internet to 300 business men without problems'
[19:00] <sense> ahem
[19:00] <nigelb> Right.
[19:00] <nigelb> I heard that the lobby could take our load at all during UDS-M
[19:00] <sense> The school in The Hague where GUADEC 2010 was, didn't even put their firewall off, so it started to kill our traffic randomly.
[19:00] <nigelb> lol
[19:01] <sense> nigelb: Lobby not, that wasn't our network. The rest worked mostly fine.
[19:01] <nigelb> sense: no wonder it crashed.
[19:01] <sense> nigelb: If I'm correct the firewall used at the GUADEC 2010 venue is the worst nightmare of a sysadmin. The kind of software that makes people actually quit.
[19:02] <nigelb> sense: ouch
[19:02] <sense> but the only guy authorised to mangle with the firewall went on holiday the week before the conference.
[19:02] <sense> No one had ever thought that he might be needed...
[19:02] <nigelb> so, lemme guess, it got mangled?
[19:02] <sense> So we ended up using VPNs and Google DNS.
[19:03] <sense> nigelb: The firewall was set up to believe all the attendending internet-addicts were one client, and it thought that client had gone berserk.
[19:03] <sense> It only killed our DNS requests, though.
[19:03] <sense> I think...
[19:04] <nigelb> In that case, google dns ftw :)
[19:04] <duanedesign> lol
[19:04] <doctormo> highvoltage: The weather, I felt it too
[19:04] <sense> And we had expected so many great things! The venue was connected to the Dutch ISP for academic institutions, so it should be a 30 Gbit connection!
[19:05] <nigelb> lol
[19:05] <highvoltage> doctormo: the weather?
[19:06] <doctormo> highvoltage: Not as hot, earth spin, sun spots, I don't know. Something about the summer just made it boring and unproductive.
[19:08] <highvoltage> doctormo: heh, I came to Canada just as summer started here, so coming from the Southern hemisphere, I had a full year of summer :)
[19:09] <nigelb> highvoltage: lucky guy
[19:10] <nigelb> but then you have a year of winter to look forward to :p
[19:10] <highvoltage> a year? how so? I guess having winter in canada will totally make up for it :)
[19:10] <nigelb> exactly
[20:47] <nigelb> highvoltage: heh, town hall for meetings.  good one :)
[20:47]  * nigelb goes to bed for real.
[20:55] <duanedesign> cya nigelb
