[20:36] <snail> won't be able to make lunch today, sadly i have a meeting that clashes
[20:38] <Atamira> morning
[21:13] <ibeardslee> So I had been trying to upgrade my PC to oneiric on the weekend
[21:14] <ajmitch> everything exploded?
[21:14] <chilts> ibeardslee: you must have been busy if it kept you from realising the weekend finished a day ago :)
[21:15] <ibeardslee> some packages were missing from citylink .. so I thought for shits and giggles to try "Select Best Server"
[21:15] <ibeardslee> mirror.aarnet.edu.au was the best
[21:16] <ibeardslee> TelstraClear are still arse at peering
[21:18] <ajmitch> let me guess, traffic goes to the US & then to australia?
[21:18] <ibeardslee> didn't check that, but you'd think that they could get to an NZ host first
[21:19] <ajmitch> with ipv6 being enabled now, I've noticed some screwy peering
[21:19] <ajmitch> snap are using telstraclear for an upstream for that, from what I can see
[21:20] <ajmitch> I was trying to get to www.debian.org, which is hosted in canberra & I had mtr showing traffic going NZ->US->AU
[21:23] <ibeardslee> chilts: I managed to finish the upgrade last night .. once all the files were available
[21:23] <ibeardslee> although now the PC has some issues with getting the gui going
[21:24] <ajmitch> NZ mirrors seem to have more than their fair share of problems
[23:01] <ibeardslee> ohhh doing a beta install of oneiric
[23:02] <ibeardslee> the install fires up the webcam and asks if you want to take a photo of yourself to use for the login picture
[23:05] <chilts> wonder what happens on a server install ... you get a picture of the rack opposite
[23:05] <chilts> :)
[23:05] <chilts> (assuming the server has a webcam of course, before anyone else points it out) :-p
[23:05] <ajmitch> why you'd do a server install with the desktop cd, I don't know :)
[23:06] <ibeardslee> because you want a gui like every good Windows server has of course
[23:06] <chilts> neither do I :)
[23:07] <ajmitch> ibeardslee: of course...
[23:19] <ibeardslee> nice .. looks like oneiric fixes the problem with the phantom monitor on this laptop
