[01:37] Just got notification of a dispute from the DNC. Will be interesting to see what their decision is. [01:38] does it involve a domain we know or would recognise? [01:39] gigaset.co.nz which I registered to point to nicegear since we sell gigaset phones [01:39] and is it gigaset who are contesting it? or someone else? [01:39] Yeah, gigaset [01:39] if it was them, surely they'd have talked to you first [01:39] wow [01:40] They did, I offered to give them the domain for a link on the resellers page. [01:40] :) [01:41] that seems like an adversarial way of doing business [01:41] Indeed. [01:41] I quite like the disputes resolution service, I don't have to do anything. [01:42] so they just decide without any input? [01:42] 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. [01:43] sounds like you've been through a few of these! :) [01:43] Nope, never. Just read up on it. [01:44] ah well, sounds interesting either way [01:44] Yeah, very. [01:44] http://dnc.org.nz/story/drs-home if you're interested, pretty straight forward really. [01:46] i guess everyone has seen http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/5645891/Catalyst-IT-wins-contract-for-South-China-Morning-Post [01:47] nope, hadn't seen it [01:48] saw that in the Business section of the Dom this morning [01:48] looks like good news though [01:48] they're probably going to use Drupal ... which is interesting [01:48] drupal appears to be the way of the future [01:49] i'm seriously thinking of acquiring some skills in that direction myself [01:49] basically to work on the TEI-drupal intergration === Liz is now known as Guest80503 [19:26] morning [19:36] Hai [19:41] morning [19:41] morning Bacta, are you new? I don't recognise the nick... [19:42] I'm a bit of an old timer snail, I've been around since 06 [19:42] You? [19:43] I'm a regular here and used to be a regular at wlug [19:43] ubuntu is the latest in a chain of POSIXs for me [19:44] Wellington Linux User Group? [19:50] wlug generally refers to the Waikato Linux Users Group [19:50] WellyLUG is the Wellington lot [19:51] Ah gotya [19:54] not sure I really think much of spring weather [19:57] Come to Wellington [19:57] It's warm here [19:57] * ibeardslee is in Wellington .. looking outside at the dark and rain [19:58] Oh you're right :( [19:58] What part of Wellington you in ? [20:01] currently in the city [20:02] I'm out in the eastern suburbs [20:05] Have you been to WellyLUG? [20:06] when it was running [20:11] I might just stick with NZPUG [20:29] morning [20:29] morning [20:32] is "eastern suburbs" near the airport, near eastborne or near wainuiomata? I can never tell... [20:33] I think it refers to the Miramar peninsular area [20:34] eastbourne, wainui is part the hutt city area [20:36] morning [20:59] hmm, smoke alarm plaintively bleeping at me [20:59] slightly surprised to discover it has an asda smartprice battery in [21:02] morning [21:06] ojwb: sounds like it needs a change :) [21:06] you've been here a while after all [21:06] the date on it is 11-2006 [21:06] I suspect it was a new one which got shipped over in a box of stuff [21:06] wowser, that's impressive [21:06] ah [21:06] do you check them every time the clocks change? [21:07] people do that? :) [21:07] they're meant to [21:07] :) [21:07] not sure I'm quite that rigourous [21:07] I'm gonna start this weekend - yay! :) [21:07] but it was bleeping, so clearly not completely flat [21:07] and probably check the emergency kit at the same time [21:08] (once I have one) :D [21:08] * ajmitch didn't even realiase that NZDT started this weekend [21:08] wha? [21:08] i knew it must be coming up [21:08] I hope so, otherwise I've been looking forward to the wrong weekend :) [21:09] "It begins again on Sunday 25 September 2011 (when clocks go forward one hour) [21:09] " [21:09] oh starts this coming weekend [21:10] heh, I said that earlier :) [21:10] yeah, your comments about it made me look it up :) [21:10] can't wait to go home in the light next week [21:11] I wonder how dark it'll be when I get up though [21:11] you leave work fairly late? [21:11] never quite understood that whole "spring forward, autumn back" [21:11] it means I need to get up even earlier on sunday morning [21:11] 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] ibeardslee: well, you wouldn't - it's the other way round here [21:11] ibeardslee: think of it as "spring forward, _fall_ back" [21:12] it's a North American saying [21:12] sigh .. .. you were all supposed to laugh at my funny [21:12] ah, sorry [21:12] you should have put a smiley on there :) [21:13] maybe it's still too early for me this morning - I do feel tired still [21:13] I should go back to bed [21:13] * ojwb smiled at it [21:13] anyway .. thinking of the suck of getting up in the dark again, and missing out on the sun on the way home [21:14] you should work from home [21:14] then you can get up in the light and finish work in the dark year round [21:15] I've tried that when I'm sort of crook .. but always feel guilty about pushing the cat off my lap [21:34] morning
