| mwhudson | fmarier: are you around? | 01:18 |
|---|---|---|
| fmarier | fmarier: yup | 01:18 |
| chilts | for those on the NZPUG mailing list ... I really want to ask "So, tupple or tewple - I thought with Python there was only one way to do it?" | 02:04 |
| * chilts wants to stir | 02:04 | |
| chilts | but I'll resist | 02:04 |
| mwhudson | please leave that thread to die :) | 02:05 |
| chilts | I know, that's why I'm leaving it | 02:05 |
| chilts | still, it's funny | 02:06 |
| ojwb | mwhudson: it will never die | 02:07 |
| ojwb | the nzpug mailing list actually puts me off using python | 02:07 |
| chilts | yeah, not sure why I subscribe either ... it seems more active than wgtn.pm but not necessarily more informative | 02:08 |
| ojwb | oh, is there a wellington list? | 02:11 |
| ojwb | i really only subscribe for the meeting reminders | 02:12 |
| chilts | ojwb: am just talking about this one -> http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/wellington-pm | 02:17 |
| ojwb | oh, pm not py | 02:18 |
| ojwb | yes, the perl list has much higher signal/noise | 02:18 |
| chilts | yeah, sorry, pm | 02:19 |
| * ajmitch reads the discussion from the last half-hour & groans | 02:28 | |
| fmarier | ojwb: similarly, the nzoss openchat list often puts me off doing open source :) | 04:48 |
| ojwb | fmarier: perhaps I won't join that one | 04:50 |
| ojwb | being put off python is less of an issue | 04:50 |
| ajmitch | ojwb: I take it you're not on debian-devel either? :) | 04:52 |
| ojwb | ajmitch: indeed | 04:52 |
| ojwb | even dipping in to the archives saps my enthusiasm | 04:52 |
| ojwb | though i've heard it's less bad these days | 04:52 |
| ajmitch | less long-winded flamewars | 04:53 |
| ojwb | go debian! | 05:04 |
| ibeardslee | evening | 05:04 |
| ojwb | evening | 05:05 |
| ibeardslee | feeling a bit more alive I am | 05:07 |
| ibeardslee | and now natty seems to be behaving a bit betterer as well | 05:07 |
| ibeardslee | but now catching up with some of the conversations .. the FOSS type mailing lists I think can be a big turn off as people get carried away | 05:22 |
| ajmitch | morning | 18:48 |
| ibeardslee | morning\ | 19:23 |
| snail | moring everyone | 20:29 |
| ojwb | morning | 21:52 |
| snail | ibeardslee: you're right about people getting carried away and turning people off | 22:08 |
| karora | ibeardslee: Yeah. It's a problem that seems to affect the more 'general' ones. | 22:42 |
| fmarier | http://identi.ca/notice/68078634 <--- /me is proud of ubuntu | 22:42 |
| karora | Specific purpose ones are usually more or less OK though. | 22:42 |
| ojwb | fmarier: that's good news | 22:44 |
| * ajmitch wasn't aware it was even up for discussion | 22:45 | |
| ajmitch | though I guess it could relate to proprietary drivers especially with shipping unity as the default desktop shell | 22:45 |
| snail | is there a mailing list for new zealand web techies? | 22:46 |
| snail | I'm looking for somewhere to post a reasonably long and complex experience report about decommissioning a server that used to host a .nz website ... | 22:47 |
| karora | Blog it :-) | 22:47 |
| snail | yeah, but i just blogged http://opensourceexile.blogspot.com/2011/03/is-there-place-for-readers-collectives.html and i don't want to set a precedent. | 22:51 |
| karora | Heh. | 23:02 |
| karora | Blog it on a totally different site :-) | 23:02 |
| karora | snail: Nice blog too, BTW. Have you read "Common as Air" yet? | 23:20 |
| snail | karora: thank you. if I've read it "Common as Air", it wasn't recently enough to recall the title, does it have a URL? | 23:21 |
| karora | It's a new book by Lewis Hyde - author of "Trickster Makes the World". It's awesome. | 23:22 |
