[01:17] <head_victim> elky: ping, just wondering how the planet works? I thought it might have been run off the main page in the drupal configuration but upon investigation this doesn't seem to be the case.
[01:18] <elky> head_victim, no, it's canonical managed. Contact needs to submit a request at rt@ubuntu.c with the rss url, blog url, name and a photo if so desired.
[01:23] <head_victim> elky: cheers, ikt has volunteered their blog as well.
[01:39] <bradm> we are catching up on getting thru the RTs, we're in a much better space than we were a while back :)
[01:40] <head_victim> bradm: good to hear, I know they had a photo but never sent it to me yet so it should be sent off in the next day or two
[01:42] <tom_a_sparks> has anybody noticed some website are no working like facebook.com ?
[01:44] <bradm> tom_a_sparks: http://www.isup.me/facebook.com says its just you.
[01:45] <tom_a_sparks> anybody on the bigpond network
[01:46] <tom_a_sparks> having issues?
[01:50] <nisshh> tom_a_sparks, one sec, ill check
[01:50] <head_victim> No problems here
[01:50] <nisshh> no problems here either
[01:52] <tom_a_sparks> bigpond cable is having connection/timeout issues http://servicestatus.bigpond.com/servicestatus/Cable/current.do
[01:53] <nisshh> ah, that would explain it, im not on cable see :)
[01:54] <tom_a_sparks> we got a phone call saying it was a virus (must be Bull sh***)
[01:55] <head_victim> I'm on cable and it's ok here in Brisbane
[01:56] <tom_a_sparks> I don't think I am on cable at work
[01:57] <tom_a_sparks> I know I got ADSL at home
[01:57] <head_victim> tom_a_sparks: if you look at those outages they're just generic upgrade outages, nothing out of the ordinary for maintenance.
[01:58] <head_victim> Mind you I've never had outages even when they say I "might".
[02:00] <tom_a_sparks> it just seams to unlikely that facebook twitter hotmail are all out of action
[02:00] <head_victim> It's possibly a dns issue?
[02:00] <tom_a_sparks> bye my work time is up 
[02:01] <tom_a_sparks> i'm going home
[02:01] <head_victim> Ah your workplace could also be blocking such services.
[02:05] <Altrix> Anyon know how to prevent failed updates?
[02:08] <tom_a_sparks> i at home now
[02:10] <tom_a_sparks> check facebook and hotmail with my home internet connection, they are working
[02:11] <tom_a_sparks> must be work's internet connection
[02:15] <Altrix> OMFG!
[02:15] <Altrix> *commits suicide*
[02:16] <head_victim> tom_a_sparks: yeah my workplace blocks them by default
[02:17] <tom_a_sparks> my work is an internet cafe
[02:17] <head_victim> Ah, that's a little odd.
[02:19] <tom_a_sparks> as far as I know we dont block any thing
[02:20] <tom_a_sparks> unless the ISP (bigpond) dose
[02:20] <head_victim> Could be a partial dns outage, I know when a route through one part of the US was down for a couple of hours once we lost connection to just the eastern seaboard of the US as far as DNS goes.
[02:22] <tom_a_sparks> I did a trace route to l.yahoo.com (yahoo image/CSS server) with no reply at about 10 hops away
[02:25] <head_victim> I get a bunch of no replies but only after it hits a yahoo.com address
[02:27] <tom_a_sparks> hopefully it well repair itself, i cant bug report it any more as i am at home with a working internet
[08:07] <ikt> is anyone noticing slow  internet speeds at all?
[08:07] <ikt> against international sites
