kim0 | Morning everyone | 10:25 |
nigelb | hey, kim0 ! | 10:25 |
kim0 | nigelb: hey | 10:25 |
nigelb | kim0: How are you? Are you all okay? | 10:25 |
nigelb | kim0: So glad you finally got internet \o/ | 10:25 |
kim0 | Yeah all fine thanks .. | 10:25 |
kim0 | I dropped by a bit yesternight | 10:25 |
nigelb | Ah, I missed that bit :) | 10:26 |
czajkowski | kim0: you're back again | 10:27 |
czajkowski | yay | 10:27 |
kim0 | yeah.. the Internet is back | 10:27 |
nigelb | oooh, things are getting better then! | 10:27 |
kim0 | well .. he agreed to the people's requests, except it's all "promises" | 10:28 |
czajkowski | nods | 10:28 |
kim0 | no decisions .. most people have zero trust in the current gov | 10:28 |
kim0 | now they're allowing internet access again, to make us feel everything is over | 10:29 |
dpm | heya kim0! | 10:29 |
kim0 | while hopefully it isn't just yet | 10:29 |
* kim0 hugs dpm | 10:29 | |
kim0 | dpm: missed ya buddy | 10:29 |
* dpm hugs kim0! | 10:29 | |
kim0 | Advice to all US citizens, you really want to decline that Internet kill switch law thing :) | 10:30 |
czajkowski | heh | 10:30 |
* czajkowski hugs kim0 welcome back | 10:31 | |
* kim0 hugs czajkowski | 10:31 | |
kim0 | thanks | 10:31 |
* kim0 prepares to get back in shape | 10:31 | |
Pendulum | kim0: glad you're back! :) | 10:33 |
kim0 | Pendulum: thanks man :) | 10:33 |
kim0 | glad to be back indeed | 10:33 |
Pendulum | kim0: woman :) | 10:36 |
Pendulum | (as in, I am one :) ) | 10:36 |
kim0 | oh shit :) | 10:36 |
* kim0 hugs Pendulum | 10:37 | |
Pendulum | s'ok :) | 10:37 |
* Pendulum hugs kim0 | 10:37 | |
kim0 | Pendulum: thanks a million .. really appreciate it | 10:37 |
Pendulum | It's not apparent if you don't know me :) | 10:37 |
kim0 | It would be my pleasure to .. some day hopefully | 10:37 |
kim0 | Just a couple of days away, and I'm back on hundreds of emails, thousands of news items ..etc sigh | 10:39 |
czajkowski | :( | 10:40 |
dpm | kim0, so how are people feeling today? Do you think te pressure on Mubarak will be kept? | 10:43 |
kim0 | hmm .. I would hope so .. He has provided only promises, to me false ones, the price was 300 dead young-people, that is too much a price to pay for promises | 10:44 |
kim0 | However many people are tired by now, his words are convincing as well .. sounds so sincere | 10:45 |
kim0 | people are getting split .. I would think the majority will still be out again this Friday to get him out immediately | 10:45 |
kim0 | The amount of incorrect info on national TV is astonishing .. it's almost not funny anymore ;) | 10:46 |
dpm | is national TV also very much controlled by the government, then? Do you have access to many nationwide private TV channels? | 10:48 |
kim0 | Yes, it is super controlled! Many people have access to satellite TV stations (AlJazeera, BBC...) that they watch to actually know the updates | 10:49 |
kim0 | The gov actually forced shutting down AlJazeera multiple times the past few days | 10:50 |
kim0 | it's been a cat/mouse game .. changing the frequency every few hours, and shutting it down again ! | 10:50 |
daker | LoL | 10:50 |
nigelb | wow | 10:50 |
dpm | yeah, I read about AlJazeera being shut a few days ago | 10:52 |
dpm | did not know about the frequency changes, though, wow | 10:53 |
kim0 | So current natty breaks closed nvidia drivers ? or actually vice cersa :) can someone confirm | 11:01 |
dholbach | kim0, on Al Jazeera lots of people yesterday talked about a "different reality" in state media | 11:02 |
kim0 | Yeah, it's like they're living in Wonder land .. there are 2 million people on the streets, and they're filming 100 people saying that's all there is. Besides hundreds of pro-Mubarak calls all the time explaining how wise is it to keep the current regime ..etc | 11:03 |
dpm | kim0, on nvidia: yeah I saw that, thus I held on the xorg upgrade. | 11:04 |
kim0 | hmm I hate to hold out on upgrades :) seems like I'll do that too | 11:05 |
dholbach | even if Mubarak goes in September, there's going to stay a lot of old faces in government and positions of power - so I can see why people stay on the streets and say "it's not over yet" | 11:05 |
kim0 | absolutely .. problem is some people are starting to buy that sweet talking .. wishing for a stable country back .. etc | 11:06 |
daker | kim0, after all that, he wont leave!!!, it's a proof that the USA and Israel are supporting him | 11:07 |
dholbach | I liked how somebody said "there's no way we can go back to the country we were a week ago" | 11:07 |
kim0 | If we wait 6 months, we might though :) | 11:08 |
duanedesign | kim0: hello! | 14:32 |
duanedesign | kim0: good to see (read) you | 14:32 |
duanedesign | :) | 14:32 |
duanedesign | I just heard on the radio that internet was back on. | 14:32 |
kim0 | duanedesign: Thanks, same here | 14:43 |
duanedesign | kim0: well i wisk you, your family, friends, and countrymen the best of luck | 14:44 |
duanedesign | wish* | 14:44 |
kim0 | Thanks, we'll need it | 14:45 |
jcastro | cjohnston: hey alright, mark answered your question | 14:58 |
mhall119 | which question? | 15:01 |
duanedesign | hello jcastro | 15:01 |
jcastro | howdy howdy | 15:01 |
duanedesign | jcastro: did detroit get any snow? | 15:02 |
jcastro | mhall119: he wants a way to remove the drives from the unity launcher | 15:02 |
jcastro | duanedesign: yeah but it's a big yawn, like 4-5 inches instead of the 14 they said | 15:02 |
jcastro | they already shut the schools down and everything | 15:02 |
jcastro | now everyone's like "..." | 15:02 |
duanedesign | we set a record here in Tulsa, 14+ inches | 15:02 |
jcastro | wow! | 15:03 |
jcastro | bought time you guys got some real snow. :) | 15:03 |
mhall119 | it's like 75 F outside here | 15:03 |
Pendulum | mhall119: that's really not fair to say :( | 15:04 |
duanedesign | jcastro: hahaha, right | 15:04 |
Pendulum | my parents had to extend a trip to California 2 extra days due to the weather. My father keeps telling me how nice it is. I told him next time he can send me somewhere warm and he can have the snow. | 15:05 |
jcastro | everyone was so excited about the snow day | 15:05 |
jcastro | except for me, since I don't get snow days anymore, heh | 15:06 |
Pendulum | heh | 15:06 |
jcastro | I bet people just go drinking today | 15:06 |
Pendulum | we're on day 2 of snow days, except today is really an ice day :( | 15:06 |
daker | it's going to be Civil war in egypt | 15:16 |
paultag | yeah | 15:17 |
paultag | this is not looking good | 15:17 |
Pendulum | I am sadly unsurprised :( | 15:18 |
daker | Mubarak sent his thiefs to throw stones & acids to the people | 15:20 |
paultag | yeah, that sounds about right | 15:21 |
paultag | I really hope who's in charge next won't take the US's bullshit with extraordinary rendition | 15:21 |
JanC | daker: those throwing stones etc. were police officers in civil dress apparently | 15:26 |
daker | yes | 15:29 |
daker | police officers, thiefs , people from the NDP | 15:30 |
daker | camels and horses runing everywhere | 15:30 |
daker | in tahrir sq | 15:30 |
Pici | Sounds scary. | 15:31 |
daker | VERY scary | 15:31 |
JFo | very scary and exciting at the same time | 15:32 |
JanC | at least the Army didn't intervene... | 15:33 |
nigelb | That would be the last thing they want to do. | 15:33 |
JFo | oh yeah | 15:33 |
daker | kim0 has disappeared again | 15:33 |
JFo | the military should be for the people over all | 15:33 |
kim0 | I'm here .. it's just horrible :/ | 15:34 |
JanC | JFo: the politicians and the police should be for the people too ;) | 15:34 |
JFo | true, but when all else breaks down, the basic function of an armed service is to protect the people | 15:34 |
JFo | is or should be that is | 15:34 |
JFo | :) | 15:34 |
kim0 | To protect the "nation" they say | 15:35 |
JFo | indeed | 15:35 |
kim0 | which you can understand anyway you want to | 15:35 |
JFo | well, it is left ambiguous for a reason :) | 15:35 |
kim0 | any way* | 15:35 |
JFo | stay safe kim0 | 15:36 |
kim0 | They're burning the people .. throwing molotov from buildings onto protestors | 15:39 |
jcastro | !!!! | 15:39 |
JFo | I can see some of that | 15:40 |
JFo | they are also saying that they suspect the government of trucking these people in for them to destabilize the protests | 15:40 |
JFo | I hope that isn't the case | 15:40 |
daker | iti | 15:42 |
daker | it's the govt | 15:42 |
jcastro | kim0: is there anything you need done on the internet we could help you with? | 15:43 |
paultag | +1 jcastro | 15:44 |
Pendulum | jcastro: +1 | 15:47 |
jcastro | http://www.wimp.com/babyrocker/ | 15:47 |
JanC | I'm just reading people in civil clothes beat up & "arrested" a Belgian journalist today; I guess they don't like foreign reporting... | 15:48 |
jono | morning all! | 15:49 |
dholbach | JanC, I read that somewhere else too, lots of other journalists got the same treatment | 15:49 |
Pendulum | morning jono | 15:49 |
daker | that's not the ppl it's the govt | 15:49 |
jcastro | jono: harassment page is all up to date now and finished. \o/ | 15:49 |
jcastro | got the local info | 15:49 |
dholbach | daker, I believe you | 15:49 |
jono | thanks jcastro :-) | 15:49 |
jcastro | we have a call today in 10 right? | 15:50 |
dholbach | jcastro, yes | 15:50 |
jcastro | Pendulum: where are you based out of? | 15:54 |
Pendulum | jcastro: northern CT | 15:54 |
* jcastro is trying to map the blizzared OSS people in his head | 15:54 | |
jcastro | oh cool, have you always been there? | 15:54 |
jcastro | why did I think you were from NYC, hmmm | 15:54 |
paultag | gross | 15:54 |
paultag | Yankees suck! | 15:54 |
Pendulum | I lived in NYC for a couple years ending in May :) | 15:54 |
Pendulum | paultag: I'm a Red Sox fan | 15:55 |
Pici | Go Mets! | 15:55 |
Pici | <.< | 15:55 |
jcastro | ohhhhhhhhhhh | 15:55 |
Pendulum | I grew up in New England | 15:55 |
* paultag hugs Pendulum | 15:55 | |
paultag | Pendulum: there's a reason I love ya. | 15:55 |
paultag | Pici: :P | 15:55 |
Pendulum | paultag: I'm almost into MA, actually | 15:55 |
dholbach | if you haven't seen live pictures of Egypt yet, check out http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ - it gets you an idea quite quickly | 15:55 |
paultag | Pendulum: yeah, I recall :) | 15:55 |
nhandler | We have a tone of snow in Chicago (you should watch the video nixternal tried to make last night) | 15:56 |
Pendulum | most of our problem is that we've gotten hit so many times without things melting in between | 15:56 |
paultag | dholbach: whoh. | 15:56 |
Pici | We didn't get too badly in NJ this time, but it was still an icy commute this morning. | 15:56 |
Pendulum | most things around here are shut due to ice today | 15:57 |
jcastro | we shut everything down | 15:57 |
jcastro | but the snow wasn't that bad, so they feel dumb | 15:58 |
Pendulum | we had one of those a couple weeks ago | 15:58 |
jcastro | except the kids playing outside of course | 15:58 |
Pendulum | but we've gotten hit by a storm midweek just about every week this year | 15:58 |
Pendulum | I think we missed one | 15:58 |
Pendulum | and it's stayed cold so nothing's melting | 15:58 |
Pendulum | a whole bunch of roofs have collapsed in CT :( | 15:58 |
Pici | Eek. | 15:59 |
Pendulum | mostly without injury to humans, but they did have to put some horses down :( | 15:59 |
jcastro | yikes | 15:59 |
daker | Wow the Egyptian Museum is burning, that a BIG disaster | 16:01 |
Pendulum | oh no :( | 16:01 |
Pici | Oh dear. | 16:02 |
JFo | I don't think it is daker, I thought that was the firebombs in the road | 16:02 |
JFo | they thought that it was due to smoke | 16:02 |
JFo | but I thought they later said it was the road and the angle they were filming from | 16:02 |
JFo | I *hope* it isn't on fire, I want to visit someday :-/ | 16:04 |
Pendulum | I really hope it's not on fire either | 16:04 |
daker | actually no one can confirm that, the only person who can confirm is Dr. Zahi | 16:04 |
mhall119 | yeah, things in Egypt are going from bad to worse | 16:05 |
daker | http://kalnaga.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/mubarak-thugs-attempting-burning-egyptian-museum/ | 16:19 |
