[04:51] <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.
[04:53] <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?
[04:54] <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?
[04:55] <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.
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <blahdeblah> We just upgraded to 100 Mbps fibre at one of my clients - wish i could steal some of that for home.
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 ;-)
[05:02] <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
[05:15] <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
[05:43] <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
[05:46] <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.
[05:47] <blahdeblah> And drop-ins is hyphenated.
[05:48] <head_victim> Yeah actually that whole paragraph fails
[05:49] <head_victim> I just rejigged it a bit
[06:37] <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?
[06:38] <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
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <blahdeblah> yep
[06:40] <blahdeblah> I'll get rid of it
[06:40] <blahdeblah> elky: Deleting your unpublished node from last August, too... ;-)
[06:41] <blahdeblah> head_victim, elky: Do you know of any stock of Ubuntu T-shirts in Australia?
[06:42] <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
[06:43]  * 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"
[06:44] <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.
[06:45] <elky> blahdeblah, no.
[06:45] <blahdeblah> elky: No probs - thanks
[06:46] <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
[06:47] <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! ;-)
[07:02] <bradm> blahdeblah: um, I'll see if I can find out, not sure off hand
[13:21] <DKG779> hey all
[13:21] <blahdeblah> yo
[13:29] <head_victim> Evening DKG779 
[13:37] <DKG779> hi head_victim, how are ya ?
[13:38] <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*)
[13:39] <DKG779> ouch head_victim, you don't run a ups ?
[13:39] <DKG779> yeah I have been better mate, dry rot, termites, rusted gutters
[13:40] <DKG779> ses out to tarp part of the roof
[13:40] <DKG779> last week and a bit has been chaos
[13:41] <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
[13:43] <DKG779> supposed surge protection ?
[13:43] <head_victim> Can't be that good if I've dropped a ram slot
[13:44] <DKG779> hell no, what is your surge protection at the meter board or just power board ?
[13:45] <head_victim> Normal safety switch stuff at the meter board but power board as well
[13:45] <DKG779> safety switch is just earth leakage ?
[13:46] <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...
[13:47] <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.
[13:48] <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
[13:49] <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.
[13:50]  * 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.
[13:51] <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?
[14:09] <blahdeblah> head_victim: Yeah, i think so
[14:10] <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
[14:11] <head_victim> blahdeblah: appreciate it mate.
