daxrocmysql transfers in:out this month 152.35 Gb | 1244.17 Gb :O11:57
czajkowskidaxroc: international ones tis ok thanks12:00
daxrocczajkowski: no worries, have fun12:01
ebelhehe, wonder will ubuntu-uk.org change name :P12:02
ebelsince the ISO country code for the United Kingdom is actually GB :P12:03
czajkowskihah12:03
czajkowskiit's more the names are wrong for teams12:04
czajkowskiso there is no set standard and we're bringing it in12:04
czajkowskialso there is a welsh team12:04
czajkowskihowever active it is12:04
tdr112do you think its needed12:05
czajkowskiyup12:05
czajkowskiif you look at loco.u.c12:05
czajkowskiyou cant tell some teams what they are12:05
czajkowskiso the idea is to make it easier to find a team as well12:06
czajkowskiand standardise the naming12:06
czajkowskiit's rather a bigger issue in USA12:06
ebelhehe, make em all one team. :P12:07
ebel*ducks*12:07
tdr112good idea ebel :)12:09
czajkowskihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Exceptional_reservations12:30
ebelhehehe. depends on how pedantic one wants to be.12:33
ebeltechically there are more ISO 3166 codes than countries. Like Svalbard has one (SJ), even though that's part of norway (I think)12:35
ebeland of course the channel islands have 1 each.12:35
ebelthough they're weird. one of the channel islands was the last place in europe to get rid of feudalism.... in 2008ish12:36
ebelhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sark#Transition_to_a_new_system_of_government12:36
ebel"In 2008, Sark dismantled its previous system of government, which had evolved gradually from its original system established in 1565" :)12:37

ebelI wondered about that.... do you spend a lot of time lying on the floor?15:33
ebelOr has the roomba grown legs and arms and can attack humans in a war-of-the-world thing?15:33

czajkowskias long as you dont leave socks on the floor which jon does15:39
slashtomebel: how come we don't have one?15:41
ebelslashtom: good point.... do they work on wooden floors?15:41
