| hads | Just got notification of a dispute from the DNC. Will be interesting to see what their decision is. | 01:37 |
|---|---|---|
| chilts | does it involve a domain we know or would recognise? | 01:38 |
| hads | gigaset.co.nz which I registered to point to nicegear since we sell gigaset phones | 01:39 |
| chilts | and is it gigaset who are contesting it? or someone else? | 01:39 |
| hads | Yeah, gigaset | 01:39 |
| chilts | if it was them, surely they'd have talked to you first | 01:39 |
| chilts | wow | 01:39 |
| hads | They did, I offered to give them the domain for a link on the resellers page. | 01:40 |
| chilts | :) | 01:40 |
| snail | that seems like an adversarial way of doing business | 01:41 |
| hads | Indeed. | 01:41 |
| hads | I quite like the disputes resolution service, I don't have to do anything. | 01:41 |
| chilts | so they just decide without any input? | 01:42 |
| hads | I can choose to submit a response and go to mediation, or, if I don't, it gets given to an independant expert who decides. The complainant has to prove that the registration is unfair. | 01:42 |
| chilts | sounds like you've been through a few of these! :) | 01:43 |
| hads | Nope, never. Just read up on it. | 01:43 |
| chilts | ah well, sounds interesting either way | 01:44 |
| hads | Yeah, very. | 01:44 |
| hads | http://dnc.org.nz/story/drs-home if you're interested, pretty straight forward really. | 01:44 |
| snail | i guess everyone has seen http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/5645891/Catalyst-IT-wins-contract-for-South-China-Morning-Post | 01:46 |
| ajmitch | nope, hadn't seen it | 01:47 |
| chilts | saw that in the Business section of the Dom this morning | 01:48 |
| ajmitch | looks like good news though | 01:48 |
| chilts | they're probably going to use Drupal ... which is interesting | 01:48 |
| snail | drupal appears to be the way of the future | 01:48 |
| snail | i'm seriously thinking of acquiring some skills in that direction myself | 01:49 |
| snail | basically to work on the TEI-drupal intergration | 01:49 |

| ibeardslee | morning | 19:26 |
| Bacta | Hai | 19:36 |
| snail | morning | 19:41 |
| snail | morning Bacta, are you new? I don't recognise the nick... | 19:41 |
| Bacta | I'm a bit of an old timer snail, I've been around since 06 | 19:42 |
| Bacta | You? | 19:42 |
| snail | I'm a regular here and used to be a regular at wlug | 19:43 |
| snail | ubuntu is the latest in a chain of POSIXs for me | 19:43 |
| Bacta | Wellington Linux User Group? | 19:44 |
| ibeardslee | wlug generally refers to the Waikato Linux Users Group | 19:50 |
| ibeardslee | WellyLUG is the Wellington lot | 19:50 |
| Bacta | Ah gotya | 19:51 |
| ibeardslee | not sure I really think much of spring weather | 19:54 |
| Bacta | Come to Wellington | 19:57 |
| Bacta | It's warm here | 19:57 |
| * ibeardslee is in Wellington .. looking outside at the dark and rain | 19:57 | |
| Bacta | Oh you're right :( | 19:58 |
| Bacta | What part of Wellington you in ? | 19:58 |
| ibeardslee | currently in the city | 20:01 |
| Bacta | I'm out in the eastern suburbs | 20:02 |
| Bacta | Have you been to WellyLUG? | 20:05 |
| ibeardslee | when it was running | 20:06 |
| Bacta | I might just stick with NZPUG | 20:11 |
| ajmitch | morning | 20:29 |
| chilts | morning | 20:29 |
| snail | is "eastern suburbs" near the airport, near eastborne or near wainuiomata? I can never tell... | 20:32 |
| ibeardslee | I think it refers to the Miramar peninsular area | 20:33 |
| ibeardslee | eastbourne, wainui is part the hutt city area | 20:34 |
| ojwb | morning | 20:36 |
| ojwb | hmm, smoke alarm plaintively bleeping at me | 20:59 |
| ojwb | slightly surprised to discover it has an asda smartprice battery in | 20:59 |
| mwhudson | morning | 21:02 |
| chilts | ojwb: sounds like it needs a change :) | 21:06 |
| chilts | you've been here a while after all | 21:06 |
| ojwb | the date on it is 11-2006 | 21:06 |
| ojwb | I suspect it was a new one which got shipped over in a box of stuff | 21:06 |
| chilts | wowser, that's impressive | 21:06 |
| chilts | ah | 21:06 |
| chilts | do you check them every time the clocks change? | 21:06 |
| ajmitch | people do that? :) | 21:07 |
| chilts | they're meant to | 21:07 |
| chilts | :) | 21:07 |
| ojwb | not sure I'm quite that rigourous | 21:07 |
| chilts | I'm gonna start this weekend - yay! :) | 21:07 |
| ojwb | but it was bleeping, so clearly not completely flat | 21:07 |
| chilts | and probably check the emergency kit at the same time | 21:07 |
| chilts | (once I have one) :D | 21:08 |
| * ajmitch didn't even realiase that NZDT started this weekend | 21:08 | |
| ibeardslee | wha? | 21:08 |
| ojwb | i knew it must be coming up | 21:08 |
| chilts | I hope so, otherwise I've been looking forward to the wrong weekend :) | 21:08 |
| ajmitch | "It begins again on Sunday 25 September 2011 (when clocks go forward one hour) | 21:09 |
| ajmitch | " | 21:09 |
| ibeardslee | oh starts this coming weekend | 21:09 |
| chilts | heh, I said that earlier :) | 21:10 |
| ajmitch | yeah, your comments about it made me look it up :) | 21:10 |
| chilts | can't wait to go home in the light next week | 21:10 |
| chilts | I wonder how dark it'll be when I get up though | 21:11 |
| ajmitch | you leave work fairly late? | 21:11 |
| ibeardslee | never quite understood that whole "spring forward, autumn back" | 21:11 |
| ajmitch | it means I need to get up even earlier on sunday morning | 21:11 |
| chilts | not particularly so, but I have a long train journey home ... so I mean when I get home rather than when I leave work :) | 21:11 |
| ojwb | ibeardslee: well, you wouldn't - it's the other way round here | 21:11 |
| chilts | ibeardslee: think of it as "spring forward, _fall_ back" | 21:11 |
| chilts | it's a North American saying | 21:12 |
| ibeardslee | sigh .. .. you were all supposed to laugh at my funny | 21:12 |
| chilts | ah, sorry | 21:12 |
| chilts | you should have put a smiley on there :) | 21:12 |
| chilts | maybe it's still too early for me this morning - I do feel tired still | 21:13 |
| chilts | I should go back to bed | 21:13 |
| * ojwb smiled at it | 21:13 | |
| ibeardslee | anyway .. thinking of the suck of getting up in the dark again, and missing out on the sun on the way home | 21:13 |
| ojwb | you should work from home | 21:14 |
| ojwb | then you can get up in the light and finish work in the dark year round | 21:14 |
| ibeardslee | I've tried that when I'm sort of crook .. but always feel guilty about pushing the cat off my lap | 21:15 |
| thumper | morning | 21:34 |
