[04:45] <brez> hey, if I have server_reconnect_time set to 0, will this stop irssi from reconnecting on disconnect?
[04:47] <brez> err wrong window
[04:48] <head_victim> brez: not sure, haven't had the pleasure of irssi yet
[04:49] <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!
[04:50] <blahdeblah> head_victim: Use pidgin + dircproxy! :-)
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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.
[04:53] <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'
[04:54] <head_victim> brez: what city do you live in?
[04:54] <brez> SA :p
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <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?
[04:57] <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???)
[04:58] <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 ;)
[04:59] <head_victim> blahdeblah: will do :)
[05:00] <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.
[05:01] <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
[05:02] <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
[05:03] <brez> I used to help manage the telstra account a few years ago.
