JonathanDMorning.00:55
ChinnoDogno00:56
pleia2IdleOne was using an irc bouncer for a while01:04
IdleOnebouncers are nice when on a machine you know won't be rebooting too often.01:04
IdleOnemuch like the one I was using for a while01:04
IdleOne:)01:04
pleia2lol01:05
pleia2it's better now!01:05
pleia2I think01:05
pleia2hopefully01:05
IdleOnepleia2: I didn't have trouble with it. a couple of reboots but I think those were planned01:06
pleia2IdleOne: ah, you haven't been running it lately :) it's been a disaster01:06
IdleOneI did see that they changed server recently01:06
pleia2they moved us to a new host which also hosted a bunch of boxes running compromised versions of kloxo01:07
pleia2such a disaster01:07
pleia2I complained a lot, they moved us good sysadmins back to a stable box and gave me a 1 month credit01:07
IdleOnebut moved you away from there right?01:07
IdleOnegood :)01:07
pleia2so here's hoping we're ok now, it's only been a couple days01:07
MutantTurkeyfinally back online after hurricane...01:08
IdleOneI'm just to lazy to reconfigure my znc.01:08
pleia2IdleOne: oh yeah, I installed debian01:08
IdleOnefigure my machine is on all the time anyway01:08
pleia2:)01:08
pleia2IdleOne: how's op-land going? nice to see you're still sane01:08
IdleOneop land is umm, exhausting.01:09
* pleia2 nods01:09
IdleOneactually just a few minutes ago I had to backspace to keep myself from banning people who were discussing 11.10 in #ubuntu01:09
pleia2hah01:10
IdleOnethe amount of people who don't understand the concept of on topic/ off topic is amazing01:10
pleia2that's for sure01:10
IdleOneSo when are we all becoming Uncles/Aunts by proxy?01:11
IdleOnehehe01:11
IdleOnenothing like putting you on the spot huh01:11
* pleia2 still has a wedding to plan01:11
JonathanDmy boys need someone to hang out with.01:11
JonathanDjust saying.01:11
pleia2lol01:12
JonathanDpleia2: josh is in middle school.01:12
pleia2yeah, my cats hid from them01:12
pleia2wow :)01:12
IdleOneJonathanD: so is my son, they grow up so fast01:12
JonathanDtoo fast01:12
JonathanDit shouldn't be allowed.01:12
IdleOnetell me about it.01:12
JonathanDif he doesn't go to bed soon this will be his last year of middle school.01:13
pleia2lol01:13
IdleOnehaha01:13
JonathanDhe's reading in the bathroom. I know it.01:13
IdleOne"I love you son but I can make another one like you. GO TO SLEEP!"01:13
ChinnoDogThat sounded warm and fuzzy01:14
IdleOneanother reason why i never setup znc again is because I didn't want to bother pleia2 with explaining ssh/gpg to me again.01:15
pleia2it's really no trouble :)01:15
IdleOneyour on vacation now aren't you?01:15
IdleOneyou're01:15
pleia2IdleOne: nah, I was just away for the holiday weekend01:16
IdleOneah, cool01:16
IdleOneI saw the post but didn't pause to look at the pics01:16
pleia2it turns out that when your flight is only 2 hours long and sleep takes a back seat, it's cheap and fun to take advantage of every 3 day weekend to go on an adventure :)01:17
ChinnoDogpleia2: are you using bitlbee for facebook or something else?01:18
IdleOnehehe ikonia is now yelling at the same guy I was about to yell at01:18
pleia2ChinnoDog: I don't use facebook chat01:19
ChinnoDogI would like to not use fb chat since it is so unreliable, but...01:19
ChinnoDogsometimes I need to talk to peeps that can't use anything else01:19
IdleOneteach them IRC01:19
ChinnoDogyea right01:24
waltmanYa know, I generally love Debian, but its habit of wanting to remove all the customizations I've made to config files for each new version of a package is maddening.01:30
waltmanOh well, I'm not even running tor anymore...01:30
JonathanDwaltman: I discovered at work today... I have a win 7 box there with firefox. Each new version of firefox has to be re-pinned to the taskbar because the exe info changes.01:30
JonathanDAnd it seems now there is a new version every 3 days...01:31
waltmanOh dear.01:31
JonathanDalmost enough to make me use chrome.01:31
JonathanDAlmost01:31
waltmanJust what I was about to say :)01:32
JonathanDYou have to wonder about the people who make these decisions.01:32
JonathanDSomehow IE can stay in the same spot, but firefox can't.01:32
waltmanI'm still using chrome because firefox just looks so much uglier, at least in windowmaker.01:32
JonathanDthunderbird has the same "bug"01:32
JonathanDeek01:32
JonathanDI wonder if this is why I have 2 launch icons on ubuntu for firefox now?01:33
JonathanDdidn't occur to me it might be the same base cause...01:33
waltmanhah01:33
JonathanDnow THATS multiplatform.01:33
JonathanD"Please make sure bugs occur on all target operating systems"01:34
JonathanDMorning.01:37
ChinnoDogI can't change the bitlbee port. The documentation in the config file says debconf overrides it. debconf?02:11
InHisNameJust what time zone are you in now, JonathanD ?02:14

TheEvilPhoenix(I'm at PEMA headquarters because i have friends in the government :P)22:16

TheEvilPhoenixyep, 38.52 feete22:22
TheEvilPhoenixfeet*22:22
TheEvilPhoenixat 5:4522:22
mr`zillaTheEvilPhoenix: Perhaps this is nature's way of saying, "I couldn't reach you with a hurricane, the earthquake didn't do much, but at least I can flood your rivers!"  It must be that time for poor ol' ma.22:24
TheEvilPhoenixpossibly22:24
TheEvilPhoenixbut perhaps its just that stupid hurricane katia that was off the coast having all these storm fronts hovering overhead22:24
mr`zillaWell, either way you look at it, it seems like the planet is just a bit irked at the moment.22:25
TheEvilPhoenix*shrugs*22:27
