|---|---|---|
| Atamira | how you feeling today ibeardslee ? | 01:56 |
| ibeardslee | Atamira: more alive ... although a wee big laggy | 03:02 |
| Atamira | but on the mend, which is good | 03:02 |
| ibeardslee | it would ahve been a bit easier if my Nook hadn't crashed last week | 03:03 |
| Atamira | lol | 03:11 |
| Atamira | paperbooks are good then | 03:11 |
| ibeardslee | definitely one plus for them | 03:12 |

| chilts | anyone seen this before: http://trisquel.info/ | 05:36 |
| chilts | I just stumbled across it ... never heard of it before now :) | 05:36 |
| chilts | s'pose there are so many distributions these days | 05:36 |
| ojwb | yes, I've heard of it | 05:52 |
| ajmitch | what's new, special & different about it? | 05:53 |
| ojwb | nothing I could really see | 05:53 |
| ojwb | just seems to be debian with the name filed off really | 05:54 |
| ojwb | http://packages.trisquel.info/ look familiar? | 05:54 |
| ajmitch | http://packages.trisquel.info/taranis/cli-mono/ <-- versions look familiar? | 05:55 |
| ojwb | oh, I think it was mentioned on #debian-devel - someone pointed out they've patched it to hide the maintainer in changelogs | 05:55 |
| ojwb | ajmitch: why would the versions on mono packages look familiar? | 05:56 |
| ajmitch | the -0ubuntu1 | 05:56 |
| ajmitch | actually most of the versions on 'slaine' look identical to what's in ubuntu maverick, down to the debian revision | 05:56 |
| ojwb | ah, i'll stop feeling offended then | 05:56 |
| ajmitch | cli/mono is just what I picked as an example because I'm familiar with the versions | 05:57 |
| ojwb | ubuntu does at least acknowledge what it is derived from | 05:58 |
| ajmitch | buried deep in the website somewhere | 05:59 |
| ojwb | actually,these days there's an "Ubuntu and Debian" link on the front page | 06:00 |
| ojwb | though it's hardly huge | 06:00 |
| ajmitch | ah, down the bottom | 06:00 |
| ajmitch | I was looking under 'project' | 06:00 |
| hads | What is it about the .info TLD that instantly makes things seem odd. | 06:01 |
| ajmitch | it looks cheap & tacky? | 06:01 |
| ajmitch | though not as bad as .biz | 06:01 |
| hads | The ICANN has .cheezburger posts on Twitter the other day made me giggle. | 06:03 |
| ajmitch | that's just painful | 06:03 |
| hads | Yeah, selling any old TLD seems like a silly idea | 06:05 |
| ajmitch | at $185k, it seems like a great idea for ICANN | 06:06 |
| ajmitch | they're not really the ones running the root nameservers, so it's not going to be a huge cost to them | 06:06 |
| hads | Indeed | 06:06 |
| hads | Money for nothing | 06:07 |
| * ojwb wonders what the pretty much instant revenue from big companies grabbing their name in a new TLD is | 06:07 | |
| ojwb | i guess it diminishes with each new one | 06:08 |
| ajmitch | the new TLDs are meant to be registered trademarks, rather than generic TLDs | 06:08 |
| ojwb | so they're basically just selling domains at the top level, not TLDs in the current sense | 06:09 |
| ojwb | go to http://microsoft./ rather than http://microsoft.com/ | 06:09 |
| ajmitch | big, expensive domains | 06:09 |
| ajmitch | http://microsoft./ likely won't work very well because people will forget the trailing . | 06:10 |
| ojwb | well, not if you're a global company | 06:10 |
| ajmitch | there's been a long discussion over this on the nanog mailing list this week | 06:10 |
| ojwb | $185K is probably comparable to the costs of another employee | 06:10 |
| ojwb | so multiple 3 saved characters by the number of employees by the number of times they type it... | 06:11 |
| ojwb | multiply even | 06:11 |
| ajmitch | though $185k is just the start | 06:13 |
| ojwb | hmm, I wonder how much setting up a new country costs | 06:15 |
| mwhudson | turns out to be quite hard i think | 06:16 |
| mwhudson | http://www.sealandgov.org/ etc | 06:17 |
| ojwb | seems likely, or we'd have more of them | 06:17 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 20:36 |
| snail | mÅrena koutou | 20:40 |
| snail | with respect to these new domains, what I want is a mailing forwarding service in .xxx. I think I don't want to talk to anyone who has a problem with things in the .xxx domain, and as I'm an adult, it counts as an adult service | 20:42 |
| chilts | morning | 21:49 |
| mwhudson | morning | 21:53 |
| thumper | morning | 22:24 |
| chilts | anyone lunching in Wgtn? | 22:57 |
| chilts | I know it's not yet time, but I was just thinking of my tummy :) | 22:57 |
| ajmitch | morning | 22:58 |
| Atamira | morning | 23:02 |
| ibeardslee | chilts: doable .. the rice and tuna in my drawer isn't that appealing .. although neither is spending more than the <>$5 that it costs | 23:15 |
| chilts | not sure what you can get out for $5, unless we go to the supermarket and get rice and tuna? :) | 23:16 |
| chilts | but I am keen | 23:17 |
| chilts | (on some kind of nurishment) | 23:17 |
| ibeardslee | yeah .. happy to take a couple of steps up in budget | 23:17 |
| chilts | any suggestions? | 23:18 |
| chilts | see if fmarier wants to come as well? | 23:18 |
| ibeardslee | fmarier: ^^ | 23:21 |
| mwhudson | subway is an alright option if you don't want to spend much money | 23:22 |
| * mwhudson is working at home today though | 23:22 | |
| ibeardslee | if I'm going to wander out for lunch .. I'd aim a bit higher than that | 23:27 |
