[00:59] <hads> ibeardslee: How's the Android install going? Did you get someone to bring your Nook in personally?
[02:45] <Wulf> Hello
[02:54] <Wulf> Can someone offer me a temporary (up to 6 months) job? Linux/network administration, programming, troubleshooting, whatever there is to do.
[02:57] <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
[03:02] <Wulf> Thanks for the hint
[05:32] <Atamira> wheee
[20:36] <ibeardslee> hads: The nook running android is pretty good.
[20:36] <ibeardslee> I had my Aunt in Connecticut post it over.
[20:37] <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
[20:38] <ibeardslee> next step ... is to find the 'best' epub/pdf/* reader to install
[20:46] <ajmitch> morning
[20:56] <ibeardslee> oh yeah .. morning :)
[20:57] <ajmitch> how could you forget the most important part of speaking in here? :)
[20:58] <ajmitch> seems like it's going to be another day of painfully slow internet connectivity at work
[21:30] <snail> morning
[22:24] <chilts> morning
[22:24] <chilts> and what a lovely on it is
[22:25] <ajmitch> sure, lovely...
[22:25]  * ajmitch looks out at the rain
[22:44] <ibeardslee> you still haven't sent your CV through have you? ;)
[22:45] <ajmitch> hah
[23:15] <ojwb> morning
[23:18] <thumper> morning
[23:19] <thumper> ibeardslee: create a VPN through the US maybe?
[23:20] <ibeardslee> the issue is finding an end point
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <ajmitch> I'm using linode
[23:23] <ibeardslee> but .. another $x a month so I can buy books for the Nook Color
[23:24] <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
[23:26] <ibeardslee> but anyway .. the Nook is CyanogenMod'ed now
[23:33] <ojwb> can't you get tor to give you an endpoint in the US?
[23:40] <mwhudson> i wouldn't be surprised if many geolocation-restricted sites ban the obvious vps provides
[23:40] <mwhudson> (hulu bans linode iirc)
[23:52] <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
[23:54] <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
