[02:26] is anyone else's network connectivity acting like a one-armed paper-hanger? [02:30] global connectivity? seems ok to me [02:30] snail: it doesn't seem any worse than normal anyway [02:31] it may be local issues with our connectivity to places other than datacom... [02:32] I'm fine, but then again I'm right next to datacom's colo [03:29] our network guys say we're hitting 280MB/s sustained traffic at the moment [03:29] they're talking to our ISP [03:30] hmm, I can get more than that over my DSL [03:30] MB/s ? [03:30] ah, no, wrong units [03:30] if only DSL could go that fast [03:31] I get vertigo sometimes when I think about sizes and speeds of computers [03:31] that'd be a lot of legit traffic to sustain for any length of time [03:32] it would be a lot of traffic is it was illegitimate too [03:32] right, but illegitimate traffic like a DDoS wouldn't really end, unlike a large set of scientific data which you'd need to store somewhere [03:33] after a request from the students association, we now block facebook from 10am to 2pm in the students labs [03:33] hah [03:33] that's more aobut computer avaliability than bandwidth tohugh [03:33] so that students that want to use the computers for study can get a seat? :) [03:33] ajmitch: that's the theory [03:34] my personal theory is that the real issue is the storage guys syncing their new racks down at the Pipotea campus (by the railway station) [03:40] I saw that snap are having an uncapped weekend again [04:22] have a good weekend guys, it's beer-o-clock [05:07] indeed it is [05:09] quite. [06:11] lol, upgrading to oneric was a mistake [06:12] the appearances menu is missing [06:56] timClicks: you mean the one that says your username? [06:57] timClicks: that has been folded into the messaging menu [06:57] it was too confusing [08:40] no, I want to change the theme [08:41] it's the menu with the two ppl in shirts/ties [08:41] for some reason, it disappeared upon upgrade
