| brez | hey, if I have server_reconnect_time set to 0, will this stop irssi from reconnecting on disconnect? | 04:45 |
|---|---|---|
| brez | err wrong window | 04:47 |
| head_victim | brez: not sure, haven't had the pleasure of irssi yet | 04:48 |
| brez | head_victim: all good, thanks -- pasted this in the wrong channel. | 04:49 |
| brez | why don't you use irssi? | 04:49 |
| head_victim | No worries, I've found xchat suits my needs better. Until I have a need for screen+irssi I'll stick to xchat | 04:49 |
| gorilla | head_victim: use irssi! | 04:49 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Use pidgin + dircproxy! :-) | 04:50 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: I was going to but dirc doesnt support multi connections. | 04:51 |
| brez | x-chat is ugly :-) | 04:51 |
| head_victim | Hah at least we all have options we like ;) | 04:51 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Why would you need multiple connections? | 04:51 |
| blahdeblah | (Not to mention you could just run two instances of dircproxy on different ports.) | 04:51 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: so when I'm out and about my one at home stays connected and I can connect with my mobile or whatever | 04:51 |
| blahdeblah | The whole point of dircproxy is that you can connect no matter where you are so you only need one connection. Like having IMAP instead of POP. | 04:52 |
| brez | you can do that with irssi :-) | 04:52 |
| head_victim | I'm currently whipping up some 11.04 CDs for the release party :D | 04:52 |
| brez | I guess I live the console look | 04:52 |
| blahdeblah | brez: Yes, but irssi is like poking your eyes out with a blunt pencil. | 04:52 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: yeah but I don't want to disconnect my one at home just so I can use it on my mobile as well | 04:52 |
| brez | blahdeblah: how so? | 04:52 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: nice analogy ;) | 04:52 |
| brez | head_victim: installing 11.04 now. | 04:52 |
| head_victim | CRAP look at the time | 04:53 |
| head_victim | I should be leaving | 04:53 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: you coming in? | 04:53 |
| blahdeblah | brez: Chat is just one of those things that doesn't make sense to do in console mode. Like word processing & web browsing. | 04:53 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Sorry man, but i'm not gonna make it today. Just too much on my plate. | 04:53 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: that's ok I'm just hoping it's more than me. James said he's coming so at least there should be 2 of us ;) | 04:53 |
| brez | where is this 'launch party' | 04:53 |
| head_victim | brez: what city do you live in? | 04:54 |
| brez | SA :p | 04:54 |
| gorilla | SA is not a city! :-P | 04:55 |
| brez | Adelaide | 04:55 |
| brez | what ever! | 04:55 |
| brez | I had the pre-typed! | 04:55 |
| brez | it* | 04:55 |
| head_victim | http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-au | 04:55 |
| head_victim | I know there's one planned for Adelaide not sure when and where | 04:55 |
| brez | all good, I'm happy just to download it and use it :-) | 04:56 |
| gorilla | It's at the Elephant Pub in town.. I think. | 04:56 |
| brez | The Elephant in SA? | 04:56 |
| blahdeblah | brez: I gave my previous comments as an avowed command line addict. I have 10 windows open right now, some running screen, and i spent all of yesterday afternoon scripting in bash for a client using vim. But i can't handle IRC in a text window. (Not to mention that pidgin does google talk, twitter, and identi.ca as well.) | 04:57 |
| gorilla | brez: It used to be called the Elephant and Wheelbarrow... they later dropped the wheelbarrow part (not enough room???) | 04:57 |
| brez | gorilla: it's pretty small. cheap drinks. | 04:58 |
| brez | blahdeblah: each to their own I guess, I used to use xchat, but find irssi alot more suitable for me | 04:58 |
| head_victim | ALrighty well I'm off | 04:58 |
| blahdeblah | Say hi to everyone for me, head_victim | 04:58 |
| head_victim | If anyone gets on from the pancake manor in Brisbane tellt hem I'm coming, just be 10 - 15 mins late ;) | 04:58 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: will do :) | 04:59 |
| brez | blahdeblah: I only use irc, I don't use gtalk/twitter/msn | 05:00 |
| blahdeblah | I never used twitter until this year, but man do i depend on it now. | 05:00 |
| blahdeblah | With selective following, you can get all of the news you want, and very little noise | 05:01 |
| brez | I don't get it, really. I downloaded it on my iPhone, and used it for a day, then deleted it. | 05:01 |
| brez | only social medium I use is facebook. | 05:01 |
| blahdeblah | I only follow people who tweet about technical stuff, mostly Linux & networking | 05:01 |
| blahdeblah | And if they tweet too much, i turn them off | 05:01 |
| brez | lol | 05:01 |
| brez | most ISP use twitter nowadays. | 05:02 |
| blahdeblah | Almost all tech companies | 05:02 |
| blahdeblah | I follow a few of them for updates & stuff. | 05:02 |
| blahdeblah | Mostly i follow independent technologists who comment about their work, though | 05:02 |
| brez | I used to help manage the telstra account a few years ago. | 05:03 |
