| hads | ibeardslee: How's the Android install going? Did you get someone to bring your Nook in personally? | 00:59 |
|---|---|---|
| Wulf | Hello | 02:45 |
| Wulf | Can someone offer me a temporary (up to 6 months) job? Linux/network administration, programming, troubleshooting, whatever there is to do. | 02:54 |
| snail | Wulf: whereabouts are you? if in wellingtonish, you may want to talk to catalyst, who employ lots of linuxy people | 02:57 |
| Wulf | snail: Auckland, but I can move anytime | 02:57 |
| Wulf | Thanks for the hint | 03:02 |
| Atamira | wheee | 05:32 |
| ibeardslee | hads: The nook running android is pretty good. | 20:36 |
| ibeardslee | I had my Aunt in Connecticut post it over. | 20:36 |
| ibeardslee | I had been trying to use her address as the "I'm in the US" address, but they must do some matching of IP and country | 20:37 |
| ibeardslee | so unless I went to the extent of getting a proxy in the US, it is a bit crippled | 20:37 |
| ibeardslee | next step ... is to find the 'best' epub/pdf/* reader to install | 20:38 |
| ajmitch | morning | 20:46 |
| ibeardslee | oh yeah .. morning :) | 20:56 |
| ajmitch | how could you forget the most important part of speaking in here? :) | 20:57 |
| ajmitch | seems like it's going to be another day of painfully slow internet connectivity at work | 20:58 |
| snail | morning | 21:30 |
| chilts | morning | 22:24 |
| chilts | and what a lovely on it is | 22:24 |
| ajmitch | sure, lovely... | 22:25 |
| * ajmitch looks out at the rain | 22:25 | |
| ibeardslee | you still haven't sent your CV through have you? ;) | 22:44 |
| ajmitch | hah | 22:45 |
| ojwb | morning | 23:15 |
| thumper | morning | 23:18 |
| thumper | ibeardslee: create a VPN through the US maybe? | 23:19 |
| ibeardslee | the issue is finding an end point | 23:20 |
| ajmitch | you won't find one for free | 23:21 |
| * ajmitch uses a relatively cheap vps | 23:21 | |
| ibeardslee | I had considered getting a slicehost vps again for it | 23:21 |
| ajmitch | I'm using linode | 23:22 |
| ibeardslee | but .. another $x a month so I can buy books for the Nook Color | 23:23 |
| ibeardslee | although it could also be used for other georestricted stuff | 23:24 |
| ajmitch | if that was the only thing you were using it for, it wouldn't really be worth it | 23:24 |
| ibeardslee | that I'm not currently using .. but maybe I'm not using them because I can't | 23:24 |
| ibeardslee | but anyway .. the Nook is CyanogenMod'ed now | 23:26 |
| ojwb | can't you get tor to give you an endpoint in the US? | 23:33 |
| mwhudson | i wouldn't be surprised if many geolocation-restricted sites ban the obvious vps provides | 23:40 |
| mwhudson | (hulu bans linode iirc) | 23:40 |
| hads | I think I've watched hulu through one of my linodes. That may have been a wihle back though. | 23:52 |
| hads | ibeardslee: I ordered mine online from B&N from a NZ IP | 23:52 |
| ibeardslee | I ordered the Nook from the nz IP .. but had to have it delivered to a USA address | 23:54 |
| hads | Oh, I just re-read what you wrote. | 23:54 |
| ibeardslee | :) | 23:54 |
| hads | I didn't bother trying to buy books and things | 23:54 |
