[01:37] <hads> Just got notification of a dispute from the DNC. Will be interesting to see what their decision is.
[01:38] <chilts> does it involve a domain we know or would recognise?
[01:39] <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
[01:40] <hads> They did, I offered to give them the domain for a link on the resellers page.
[01:40] <chilts> :)
[01:41] <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.
[01:42] <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.
[01:43] <chilts> sounds like you've been through a few of these! :)
[01:43] <hads> Nope, never. Just read up on it.
[01:44] <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.
[01:46] <snail> i guess everyone has seen http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/5645891/Catalyst-IT-wins-contract-for-South-China-Morning-Post
[01:47] <ajmitch> nope, hadn't seen it
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <snail> i'm seriously thinking of acquiring some skills in that direction myself
[01:49] <snail> basically to work on the TEI-drupal intergration
[19:26] <ibeardslee> morning
[19:36] <Bacta> Hai
[19:41] <snail> morning
[19:41] <snail> morning Bacta, are you new? I don't recognise the nick...
[19:42] <Bacta> I'm a bit of an old timer snail, I've been around since 06
[19:42] <Bacta> You?
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <Bacta> Wellington Linux User Group?
[19:50] <ibeardslee> wlug generally refers to the Waikato Linux Users Group
[19:50] <ibeardslee> WellyLUG is the Wellington lot
[19:51] <Bacta> Ah gotya
[19:54] <ibeardslee> not sure I really think much of spring weather
[19:57] <Bacta> Come to Wellington
[19:57] <Bacta> It's warm here
[19:57]  * ibeardslee is in Wellington .. looking outside at the dark and rain
[19:58] <Bacta> Oh you're right :(
[19:58] <Bacta> What part of Wellington you in ?
[20:01] <ibeardslee> currently in the city
[20:02] <Bacta> I'm out in the eastern suburbs
[20:05] <Bacta> Have you been to WellyLUG?
[20:06] <ibeardslee> when it was running
[20:11] <Bacta> I might just stick with NZPUG
[20:29] <ajmitch> morning
[20:29] <chilts> morning
[20:32] <snail> is "eastern suburbs" near the airport, near eastborne or near wainuiomata?  I can never tell...
[20:33] <ibeardslee> I think it refers to the Miramar peninsular area
[20:34] <ibeardslee> eastbourne, wainui is part the hutt city area
[20:36] <ojwb> morning
[20:59] <ojwb> hmm, smoke alarm plaintively bleeping at me
[20:59] <ojwb> slightly surprised to discover it has an asda smartprice battery in
[21:02] <mwhudson> morning
[21:06] <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?
[21:07] <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
[21:08] <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 :)
[21:09] <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
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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"
[21:12] <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 :)
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <ibeardslee> I've tried that when I'm sort of crook .. but always feel guilty about pushing the cat off my lap
[21:34] <thumper> morning
