| blahdeblah | head_victim: If you're willing to get up early, i can pick you up on the way to LCA - i'll probably be starting before 8 most days. | 04:51 |
|---|---|---|
| head_victim | blahdeblah: yeah I was thinking of heading in to arrive 0800 - 0815 to make sure I get a park. | 04:53 |
| head_victim | I'm one of these people that feel lost without a mode of transport that doesn't rely on others :/ | 04:53 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: you be up for the pancake manor? | 04:53 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: I just saw on the mailing list you were thinking of public transport, and my route into town isn't too far from your place. | 04:54 |
| blahdeblah | When is the pancake manor? | 04:54 |
| head_victim | Monday night. | 04:54 |
| head_victim | I thought I spammed the list enough, apparently not ;) | 04:54 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Probably my memory, not your spamming talent | 04:54 |
| head_victim | Website event help? | 04:54 |
| head_victim | Or have I broken that enough for one week | 04:55 |
| blahdeblah | If it's happening, put it up there, i say. | 04:55 |
| head_victim | http://www.pancakemanor.com.au/ for where and what | 04:55 |
| blahdeblah | Far out my web browsing is laggy at the moment. | 04:55 |
| blahdeblah | Took me 10 secs just to bring up the Ubuntu-AU home page | 04:56 |
| head_victim | I was thinking of sending it to the lca-chat list but don't know enough about lca to know if it's a good idea | 04:56 |
| * head_victim lends you some bandwidth | 04:56 | |
| blahdeblah | I wish | 04:56 |
| blahdeblah | We just upgraded to 100 Mbps fibre at one of my clients - wish i could steal some of that for home. | 04:57 |
| blahdeblah | <sarcasm>Oh well, the NBN is going to solve all that...</sarcasm> | 04:57 |
| head_victim | Hah well I have heaps of team business cards to distribute as well so I thought that would be a good place to give them to people to let people know we exist (I've found lots of people use Ubuntu but have no idea the loco even exists) | 04:57 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: oh so when you get the nbn connection in 2020 you'll be right? | 04:57 |
| blahdeblah | yep ;-) | 04:57 |
| head_victim | I'll ping you when it's done, as much as I can probably publish it myself now I think it's always good practice to have someone else's eyes double check | 05:02 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: if you can have a quick look and make sure it's not too dry (I *think* I got my links right) I would greatly appreciate it | 05:15 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: might take you up on that travelling together idea as well. Depends on if what you're doing afterwards I might have to take myself in on Monday to pick up the wife for the Pancake Manor | 05:43 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Looks pretty good. Suggested changes: make sure there's no space before your </a> closing tags - it makes the links look a bit daggy when you hover on them. | 05:46 |
| blahdeblah | Also, i would probably take out the bit "For those of you living under a rock for the last 12 months you might not know that" - it doesn't have a very newbie-friendly sound. | 05:46 |
| blahdeblah | And drop-ins is hyphenated. | 05:47 |
| head_victim | Yeah actually that whole paragraph fails | 05:48 |
| head_victim | I just rejigged it a bit | 05:49 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Another tip: get rid of the line breaks - only put a line break between paragraphs. | 06:37 |
| head_victim | I thought that's what I did? | 06:37 |
| blahdeblah | Well, there are lots there now. | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah | Are you using a visual editor, or just plain text? | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah | Doesn't look like a visual one is available | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah | Sorry - i was looking at the unpublished LCA open day notice. | 06:39 |
| blahdeblah | I might delete that one now. | 06:39 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Your current page is fine | 06:39 |
| head_victim | Ahh yeah I just looked at the one you spoke of. That was a copy and paste job that I then went on and edited | 06:39 |
| blahdeblah | yep | 06:40 |
| blahdeblah | I'll get rid of it | 06:40 |
| blahdeblah | elky: Deleting your unpublished node from last August, too... ;-) | 06:40 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim, elky: Do you know of any stock of Ubuntu T-shirts in Australia? | 06:41 |
| head_victim | I only have the old design, 1 tshirt and 1 polo | 06:42 |
| blahdeblah | bradm: Any idea how we can stick a rocket up the folks at the shop to work out why they won't respond to my queries? | 06:42 |
| head_victim | It was a bit of a bummer that branding change | 06:42 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Which was the old design? | 06:42 |
| head_victim | The old ubuntu brand, the rounded one | 06:42 |
| * blahdeblah can't remember it | 06:43 | |
| blahdeblah | Whatever it is, if it doesn't have that stupid new default font they put in with Maverick, i like it! :-) | 06:43 |
| * blahdeblah despises the font "Ubuntu" | 06:43 | |
| head_victim | http://www.flickr.com/photos/45015261@N04/4283714935/in/set-72157623233310760/ | 06:44 |
| head_victim | I was going to wear one on the open day and take another one along for someone else. | 06:44 |
| elky | blahdeblah, no. | 06:45 |
| blahdeblah | elky: No probs - thanks | 06:45 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Is there a public version of that flickr photo? Yahoo's login process is being recalcitrant | 06:46 |
| head_victim | Oh that's not public | 06:46 |
| head_victim | Thought it was | 06:46 |
| blahdeblah | Well, it's asking me for a login | 06:46 |
| head_victim | Try again sorry | 06:47 |
| head_victim | Just updated it | 06:47 |
| head_victim | The left is the polo and the right is the tshirt. The middle is a jumper but I don't think anyone will be willing to wear that in Brisbane anytime soon. | 06:47 |
| blahdeblah | certainly not me! ;-) | 06:47 |
| bradm | blahdeblah: um, I'll see if I can find out, not sure off hand | 07:02 |

| DKG779 | hey all | 13:21 |
| blahdeblah | yo | 13:21 |
| head_victim | Evening DKG779 | 13:29 |
| DKG779 | hi head_victim, how are ya ? | 13:37 |
| head_victim | Not too bad, yourself? | 13:38 |
| head_victim | I'm spending the night working out what DDR ram I have actually works (power surge here killed a ram slot on a MB i *think*) | 13:38 |
| DKG779 | ouch head_victim, you don't run a ups ? | 13:39 |
| DKG779 | yeah I have been better mate, dry rot, termites, rusted gutters | 13:39 |
| DKG779 | ses out to tarp part of the roof | 13:40 |
| DKG779 | last week and a bit has been chaos | 13:40 |
| head_victim | Supposed surge protection, can't afford to run a UPS because when I start running a ups on one pc then there's 5 pcs, 2 modems, 2 switchs and a router that all want a UPS as well | 13:41 |
| DKG779 | supposed surge protection ? | 13:43 |
| head_victim | Can't be that good if I've dropped a ram slot | 13:43 |
| DKG779 | hell no, what is your surge protection at the meter board or just power board ? | 13:44 |
| head_victim | Normal safety switch stuff at the meter board but power board as well | 13:45 |
| DKG779 | safety switch is just earth leakage ? | 13:45 |
| head_victim | Yeah and elcbs | 13:46 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Sounds like a couple of mid-sized UPSes would be cheaper than working out problems like those... | 13:46 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: you'd think so but the initial outlay is the killer | 13:47 |
| blahdeblah | true | 13:47 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: you've seen my place :/ I'd need one in the desktop rack and then another in the other rack. | 13:47 |
| blahdeblah | yep | 13:48 |
| blahdeblah | I have 3 UPSes - mostly 400 VA or smaller | 13:48 |
| DKG779 | I have a ups on my file server, the rest well... one day | 13:48 |
| head_victim | My newer stuff doesn't really have much of a drama it's just the stuff that's P4s and earlier is getting a bit long in the tooth. | 13:49 |
| head_victim | Starting to run out of MBs mainly. | 13:49 |
| * blahdeblah has a box full of P4 mobos sitting on the shelf - want some? | 13:50 | |
| blahdeblah | and a bunch of DDR ECC RAM that i can't use | 13:50 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: oh yes please. I hate to be picky but anything with sata would be great. I don't mind agp or pcie. | 13:50 |
| blahdeblah | I don't think they have SATA or AGP/PCIe, but i'll check | 13:51 |
| head_victim | That will mean I can get 2 pcs back up and running, one for the wife's sewing room and my other one. | 13:51 |
| head_victim | No agp? Onboard video? | 13:51 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Yeah, i think so | 14:09 |
| head_victim | Ah ok. I'm still arguing with the one I thought only had a broken ram slot | 14:10 |
| blahdeblah | I'll check them out and let you know on Monday | 14:10 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: appreciate it mate. | 14:11 |
