[04:45] hey, if I have server_reconnect_time set to 0, will this stop irssi from reconnecting on disconnect? [04:47] err wrong window [04:48] brez: not sure, haven't had the pleasure of irssi yet [04:49] head_victim: all good, thanks -- pasted this in the wrong channel. [04:49] why don't you use irssi? [04:49] 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] head_victim: use irssi! [04:50] head_victim: Use pidgin + dircproxy! :-) [04:51] blahdeblah: I was going to but dirc doesnt support multi connections. [04:51] x-chat is ugly :-) [04:51] Hah at least we all have options we like ;) [04:51] head_victim: Why would you need multiple connections? [04:51] (Not to mention you could just run two instances of dircproxy on different ports.) [04:51] blahdeblah: so when I'm out and about my one at home stays connected and I can connect with my mobile or whatever [04:52] 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] you can do that with irssi :-) [04:52] I'm currently whipping up some 11.04 CDs for the release party :D [04:52] I guess I live the console look [04:52] brez: Yes, but irssi is like poking your eyes out with a blunt pencil. [04:52] 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] blahdeblah: how so? [04:52] blahdeblah: nice analogy ;) [04:52] head_victim: installing 11.04 now. [04:53] CRAP look at the time [04:53] I should be leaving [04:53] blahdeblah: you coming in? [04:53] 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] head_victim: Sorry man, but i'm not gonna make it today. Just too much on my plate. [04:53] 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] where is this 'launch party' [04:54] brez: what city do you live in? [04:54] SA :p [04:55] SA is not a city! :-P [04:55] Adelaide [04:55] what ever! [04:55] I had the pre-typed! [04:55] it* [04:55] http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-au [04:55] I know there's one planned for Adelaide not sure when and where [04:56] all good, I'm happy just to download it and use it :-) [04:56] It's at the Elephant Pub in town.. I think. [04:56] The Elephant in SA? [04:57] 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] brez: It used to be called the Elephant and Wheelbarrow... they later dropped the wheelbarrow part (not enough room???) [04:58] gorilla: it's pretty small. cheap drinks. [04:58] blahdeblah: each to their own I guess, I used to use xchat, but find irssi alot more suitable for me [04:58] ALrighty well I'm off [04:58] Say hi to everyone for me, head_victim [04:58] If anyone gets on from the pancake manor in Brisbane tellt hem I'm coming, just be 10 - 15 mins late ;) [04:59] blahdeblah: will do :) [05:00] blahdeblah: I only use irc, I don't use gtalk/twitter/msn [05:00] I never used twitter until this year, but man do i depend on it now. [05:01] With selective following, you can get all of the news you want, and very little noise [05:01] I don't get it, really. I downloaded it on my iPhone, and used it for a day, then deleted it. [05:01] only social medium I use is facebook. [05:01] I only follow people who tweet about technical stuff, mostly Linux & networking [05:01] And if they tweet too much, i turn them off [05:01] lol [05:02] most ISP use twitter nowadays. [05:02] Almost all tech companies [05:02] I follow a few of them for updates & stuff. [05:02] Mostly i follow independent technologists who comment about their work, though [05:03] I used to help manage the telstra account a few years ago.
