[05:21] <nuvolari> good morning
[05:26] <superfly> morning nuvolari
[07:05] <superfly> anyone got any preferred ADSL ISP? One with uncapped, preferably
[07:16] <sakhi> moonin
[07:16] <superfly> hiya sakhi
[07:16]  * sakhi is back from Ethiopia
[07:27] <superfly> sakhi: what were you doing in Ethiopia ?
[07:39] <sakhi> superfly: I was training Sys.Admins on mail systems (Posftix, Dovecot, Squirrel and mail scanning)
[08:23] <linuxboy> superfly: mweb
[08:23] <linuxboy> superfly: no fuss
[08:25] <superfly> linuxboy: do they do a package thing where you get your ADSL through them as well?
[08:25] <linuxboy> superfly: ja
[08:25] <linuxboy> superfly: but I dont' do that
[08:26] <superfly> any particular reason?
[08:30] <linuxboy> then I can cancel it without transferring the adsl line
[08:37] <superfly> ah
[08:50] <drubin> superfly: axxess has been good to me mostly. afrihost is cheap.
[11:27] <linuxboy> superfly: you finally got access in your area?
[11:27] <superfly> apparently... I want to see if that is for real
[11:28] <linuxboy> https://secureapp.telkom.co.za/adslchecker/check.htm
[11:32] <drubin> LOL they imply that the rest of their site isn't secure
[11:43] <superfly> linuxboy: they first need to install a phone line ;-)
[11:49] <linuxboy> yeah :/
[14:28] <Tonberry> drubin is irc.sun.ac.za down?
[14:52] <drubin> Tonberry: yes
[14:52] <Tonberry> ah
[14:53] <Tonberry> wonder what they broke this time...
[15:45] <nlsthzn> clocking in for the night shift, hi all :)
[16:01] <superfly> hi nlsthzn
[16:01] <nlsthzn> superfly: Hi sir :)
[16:02] <highvoltage> hi nlsthzn 
[16:02] <nlsthzn> highvoltage: hey... SA has come to life :)
[16:03] <highvoltage> if you say so :)
[16:03] <nlsthzn> just an observation about the increase in activity in the channel... 3 people at once... wow :p
[16:03] <Tonberry> o0
[16:04] <cocooncrash> Why is that so amazing?
[16:07] <nlsthzn> because 5 minutes ago it felt like it was only me T_T 
[16:07] <nlsthzn> ;)
[16:07] <nlsthzn> hi Tonberry, cocooncrash
[16:07] <Tonberry> hello
[18:34] <Morganvd> evening all
[18:34] <superfly> hi Morganvd
[18:36] <Morganvd> hey superfly 
[18:37] <Morganvd> ubuntu 10.10 netbook is driving me nuts
[18:37] <superfly> why, what's up?
[18:38] <Morganvd> im trying to add a custom launcher to the global menu
[18:38] <Morganvd> weechat
[18:38] <Morganvd> i maid the launcher
[18:38] <Morganvd> in the menu option
[18:39] <Morganvd> but i cannot seem to launch it
[18:43] <superfly> Morganvd: I'm afraid I'm a KDE junkie, so I don't really know how to do that in Gnome (or Unity)
[18:43] <drubin> Morganvd: what command are yo using?
[18:44] <Morganvd> i created a custom launcher in the menu to run weechat-curses
[18:45] <drubin> Morganvd: Ah that wont work. :)
[18:45] <Morganvd> but i cannot find the launcher in the list of applications 
[18:45] <Morganvd> k
[18:45] <drubin> Morganvd: that is like executing vim from launcher it needs terminal to run in :)
[18:45] <Morganvd> i did tell it to run in terminal
[18:45] <drubin> Morganvd: how?
[18:45] <Morganvd> when you create a custom launcher
[18:46] <Morganvd> there is two options in the drop down box
[18:46] <drubin> oo that is a nice feature
[18:46] <Morganvd> application and run in terminal
[18:46] <Morganvd> drubin: what ubuntu you running
[18:47] <Morganvd> i created it on 10.04
[18:47] <drubin> Morganvd: 10.10 but I don't use normal GUI
[18:47] <drubin> Morganvd: btw have you tried changing the comamnd to gnome-terminal -e "weechat-curses"
[18:47] <Morganvd> what gui you using
[18:47] <drubin> and setting it to not run in a terminal?
[18:47] <Morganvd> yeah
[18:47] <drubin> Morganvd: Xmonad
[18:47] <Morganvd> ill check it out
[18:48] <Morganvd> k gnome application menu
[18:48] <Morganvd> if you right click
[18:48] <Morganvd> edit menu
[18:48] <Morganvd> you can add launcher
[18:48] <Morganvd> i had a nice one for weechat on 10.04
[18:49] <drubin> Morganvd: Ye i don't have that issue because I never ever close weechat :)
[18:49] <drubin> ssh screen -rd  :)
[18:49] <Morganvd> :)
[18:50] <drubin> Morganvd: can you not see the launcher or doesn't it work?
[18:51] <Morganvd> cant c it
[18:51] <Morganvd> i created it 
[18:51] <Morganvd> its there
[18:51] <Morganvd> just wont add it to the menu in the netbook addiotion
[18:58] <marcog> drubin: you mean, ssh -t screen -rd
[19:19] <drubin> marcog: well actually I meant ssh and then screen -rd
[19:19] <marcog> drubin: you can do it in one cmd though
[19:20] <drubin> but I don't like to
[19:21] <Morganvd> lol
[19:21] <drubin> marcog: I can also chat via fifo socket instead of weechat 
[19:21] <Morganvd> and how does this help me
[19:21] <Tonberry> restart whatever interface it uses?
[19:21] <Tonberry> @ launcher not showing
[19:22] <Morganvd> tried that already but the global menu seems to be burried into the interface with no config
[19:22] <Tonberry> eish
[19:22] <Tonberry> and they want unity as the next ubuntu interface?
[19:22] <drubin> sounds like unity tried to take over more then it can chew
[19:23] <Tonberry> i still wonder how badly replacing Xorg is going to go
[19:23] <drubin> people have mixed feelings I for one welcome any thing that makes graphics on Linux better
[19:23] <Morganvd> im slightly bothered about the new approach
[19:23] <drubin> (if it does)
[19:23] <marcog> drubin: why wouldn't you like to?
[19:23] <Tonberry> well x is old 
[19:23] <marcog> drubin: it's much snappier doing it in one cmd
[19:24] <drubin> marcog: JUST to annoy froztbyte I like to see what packages need upgrading via the MOTD
[19:24] <drubin> marcog: what happens if I have things in my screen -rd I don't want people to see??? hey!! ;)
[19:24] <Morganvd> unity is nice but it needs major work
[19:25] <marcog> drubin: so you're being silly about it, right... :P
[19:26] <marcog> Morganvd: loads of major work, it's far too slow atm
[19:28] <drubin> marcog: actually my first point stands 2nd point was silly
[19:28] <marcog> drubin: ok, well idc what packages tumbleweed needs to update on clam :)
 but I don't like to   counts as a point?
[19:29] <tumbleweed> eh?
[19:29] <Tonberry> lurker!!!
[19:29] <marcog> tumbleweed: ignore :)
[19:32] <drubin> marcog: You deff don't want motd installed by default on a shell server like clam
[19:48] <marcog> anyone here want a diaspora invite?
[19:51] <superfly> marcog: I'll take one, thanks
[19:52] <marcog> superfly: pm me your addy and i'll send
[19:52] <Morganvd> what is it
[19:53] <marcog> open, distributed alternative to facebook
[19:53] <marcog> still pre-alpha
[19:53] <marcog> but quite promising at the early stage
[19:54] <drubin> marcog: needs more pictures
[19:54] <marcog> drubin: early stage
[19:54] <marcog> but yes
[19:54]  * drubin knows
[19:54] <drubin> pretty impressed so far
[19:56]  * marcog got my first other-site contact today
[19:56] <drubin> other-site?
[19:56] <marcog> i.e. contact from another diaspora instance
[19:56] <drubin> Ah ye
[20:00] <superfly> would be great if I could actually read the text
[20:00] <drubin> superfly: context?
[20:01] <superfly> drubin: diasp.org - light grey text on a white background
[20:02] <superfly> they've set the background colour but neglected to set the font colour... or vice versa
[20:02] <superfly> and with my dark colour scheme, my colours are opposite
[20:06] <marcog> superfly: do you mean the text like "X minutes ago"?
[20:06] <marcog> cause the names and statuses are fine here
[20:07] <superfly> marcog: no, the selects and inputs where I have to select my date of birth and type in my name, for instance
[20:07] <marcog> oh that was fine for me, iirc
[20:12] <ghostknife> anyone seen nuvolari today?
[20:23] <nuvolari> *cough*
[20:23] <nuvolari> o/
