[00:12] <snail> nice, the TEI community is having ructions and tracking them with the twitter tag #teiputsch . only in the digital humanities...
[02:57]  * ojwb watches someone I can only assume is a surveyor who appears to be trying to take damp readings on the outside of the house next door
[02:57] <ojwb> in a snow storm
[02:59] <chilts> you have snow at the moment?
[02:59] <ojwb> yes, pretty big flakes
[02:59] <chilts> hmm, I should go an get an early train again ... just made it home within 2 hrs yesterday
[02:59] <chilts> oh right
[02:59] <ojwb> jenny said it's raining in the valley though
[02:59] <ajmitch> ojwb: you should move to dunedin, it's been pretty much clear of snow all day
[03:00]  * ojwb didn't say snow was bad...
[03:00] <ojwb> though it seems wrong
[03:00] <ojwb> we hardly ever get a frost normally
[03:02] <ajmitch> dunedin seems to have missed quite a bit of snow this time
[03:02] <ajmitch> though we had a bit yesterday, much of that has melted now
[03:08] <timClicks> j'ville north of wellington had a decent covering on Sunday
[03:08] <timClicks> the last two days have been cold and wet, rather than fun and exciting
[03:11] <snail> timClicks: are you in jville too?
[03:11] <timClicks> yes
[03:11] <timClicks> I work from home
[03:11] <snail> this morning i gave up waiting for #53 and waked to the station. one of last night's #53 buses was abandoned on ironside

[03:12] <timClicks> fyi http://nzpug.org/KiwiPyCon/2011/Helpers
[03:14] <snail> You are not allowed to view this page.
[03:20]  * timClicks frowns
[03:21]  * ajmitch could view it after logging in, but is in a group on the wiki that can view such things
[03:25] <timClicks> I should learn moinmoin
[03:27] <ibeardslee> we had great fun moving from moinmoin to mediawiki
[03:27] <ibeardslee> snail: I figured that it'd be ugly up that way so didn't bother waiting for the #53 .. glad I didn't after seing your tweet.
[03:47] <thumper> the child in me wants more snow
[03:48] <thumper> the parent wants the kids to go back to school :-|
[03:48]  * ojwb just wants more snow - I guess that's the lack of kids...
[03:49] <ojwb> not sure when I last saw this much snow where I was living
[03:49] <ojwb> we had some in liverpool, uk, but it wasn't this much
[03:51]  * ajmitch was rather disappointed this morning with the lack of snow
[03:53] <chilts> in Liverpool we'd sometimes get this much, but not every year
[03:53] <chilts> my brother in newcastle had a month's worth of snow last year and in some parts about a foot or two deep
[03:58] <thumper> oh arse
[03:58] <thumper> snow!
[03:59] <thumper> I wonder if it'll settle
[04:02] <chilts> it almost seems normal now
[04:03] <ajmitch> thumper: not from where I can see
[04:04] <thumper> ajmitch: I'm a little more elevated than you
[04:04] <ajmitch> I guess being up on the hill has its privileges
[04:04] <thumper> it hasn't stayed snowing though
[04:04] <thumper> not sure if relieved or disappointed
[04:04] <ajmitch> I doubt much will settle from now on, unless it snows overnight again
[04:06] <ojwb> it's really settling here - probably an inch in the past hour or two from looking at the fence top
[04:07] <ajmitch> it's just not right when wellington is getting more snow than dunedin :)
[04:19] <timClicks> snow now settling on the ground here
[04:31] <ojwb> i think it's snowing harder now too
[04:32] <thumper> no snow here
[04:48] <ojwb> there's now a good 5cm on the rail outside our front door, which was clear of snow earlier
[09:15] <chilts> we made a snoman and had a snowball fight when we got home
[09:15] <chilts> lovely fresh snow all around
[09:16] <chilts> though since then it's been raining, so it's already all slushy and horrible :)
[20:07] <ajmitch> morning
[20:09] <ibeardslee> morning
[20:56] <thumper> morning
[21:11] <chrismsnz> morning
[21:54] <hads> ibeardslee: Did you ever find your rack power boards?
[21:55] <ibeardslee> found some that come close
[21:56] <ibeardslee> metered PDU
[21:56] <ibeardslee> the monitored or metered per outlet all seem to come in rack hieght and only 20 outlets
[21:57] <ibeardslee> found some that are metered for the PDU (not per outlet), with 20 outlets and we can fit two per side of the rack
[21:57] <hads> Just ran across these, you've probably seen them though; http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP8858
[21:57] <ibeardslee> http://wirednz.co.nz/power-rails
[21:59] <ibeardslee> the 902.00 mm height means we can still only fit one on each side of the rack .. a 38U rack needs just under 80 outlets (2 per 1U server)
[23:46] <ojwb> morning
