[00:00] <jrgifford> paultag: when you're around you have a PM.
[00:02] <Unit193> jrgifford: FSF seems crazy most of the time anyway (RE: Blogpost)
[00:02] <Unit193> Maybe I should have tried a greeting first though
[00:02] <jrgifford> Unit193: Oh yeah, you got that right. ;)
[00:03] <jrgifford> (sorry, that comment out of the blue made me stop and think for a second. ;))
[00:03] <Unit193> I really see how it would. But man alive do they seem a bit.... Off the wall to speak nicely
[00:04] <jrgifford> Agreed.
[00:04] <Unit193> I wasn't fully sure how you might react since you're on their ML, but I figured with your comment it would be fine
[00:05] <jrgifford> I joined their mailing back in '08.
[00:05] <jrgifford> For about 30 minutes, I was this huge "GO FSF! GNU ALL DA WAY DUDE" fanatic.

[00:09] <jrgifford> brb - switching computers.
[00:10] <Unit193> Welcome back. Yeah, thought that program was crazy, but I really like uptimed :D
[00:10] <jrgifford> hehe.
[03:33] <Unit193> Welcome back!
[03:36] <BiosElement> Howdy
[05:11] <Derath-Srvr> zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[05:11] <Unit193> Hey, what's going on?
[05:12] <Derath-Srvr> Not much... at work and alone lol
[05:13] <Unit193> Wow... Doesn't sound fun (partly because of time) What are you babysitting?
[05:13] <Derath-Srvr> lol a crapload of servers... and doing some software upgrades, but this is my normal shift for the time being ;)
[05:14] <Unit193> Oh. I could like the time of night, just the no people to make fun of might be a tad hard (really so if they turned off the lights)
[05:15] <Derath-Srvr> lol
[05:15] <Derath-Srvr> Pretty much sums it up...
[05:15] <Derath-Srvr> but it does make it easier to get stuff done as well
[05:16] <Unit193> Until some creeper from IRC talks to you :P
[05:16] <Derath-Srvr> lol
[05:16] <Derath-Srvr> Something like that
[05:18] <Derath-Srvr> sigh, also feel bad for ditching everyone at OLF... I REALLY wasn't feeling good at the afterparty
[05:18] <BiosElement> Heh
[05:18] <BiosElement> I didn't even go to OLF. >.>
[05:18] <BiosElement> Was after a 70 hour week of work, Islept the entire day
[05:18] <Derath-Srvr> lol
[05:18] <Unit193> I was out of state
[05:19] <Derath-Srvr> Was wondering where you were at Bios...
[05:19] <Derath-Srvr> I did finally get to meet Canth though
[05:19] <BiosElement> I 'really' wanted to go, but ugh, I was dying heh
[05:20] <BiosElement> Reminds me, anyone have any thoughts on this? Getting a new video card, mostly just for minecraft. >.> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102941
[05:21] <Unit193> I also really wanted to go as it would have been first OLF
[05:21] <Derath-Srvr> Will have to look at the vid card later Bios... working on a client's Live environment atm
[05:22] <BiosElement> Heh that's fine Derath-Srvr
[05:23] <Derath-Srvr> btw, two things... 1: I HATE Win's UAC! and 2: I got to preview Win8... OMG!
[05:25] <BiosElement> Reminds me, if anyone is looking for a sysadmin job, I know of a couple and we're pretty desperate. >.>
[05:27] <Derath-Srvr> lol Almost the same (just not desperate lol)
[05:27] <Derath-Srvr> We have a good number of openings...
[05:27] <BiosElement> 3 admin + 1k servers = fun tech support
[05:28] <Derath-Srvr> lol
[05:28] <BiosElement> Ironically we're still known for our awesome support. >.>
[05:32] <Derath-Srvr> We're getting there... hard to maintain all the installs/upgrades that Sales is giving us...
[05:32] <Derath-Srvr> And then to maintain current customer base
[05:32] <BiosElement> Heh, we're about at critical when it comes to sales vs support
[05:33] <Derath-Srvr> btw... Win8 is going to look like that new Win Mobile phone platform...
[05:33] <BiosElement> lolololol
[05:33] <BiosElement> Microsoft thinks the're Android apparently
[05:33] <Derath-Srvr> tradition desktop won't be used much... at least that's how it appears on the recent dev version...
[05:33] <BiosElement> KDE4 anyone? >.>
[05:34] <Derath-Srvr> Gearing up for tablet/slate type systems... screw the desktop/laptop users... you're supposed to be on a touchscreen now
[05:35] <BiosElement> Heh, Windows Vista round 2
[05:35] <BiosElement> Silly me thinking they'd learned their lesson
[05:36]  * Derath-Srvr shrugs
[05:36] <Derath-Srvr> They did improve the TaskManager... lol more useful info on each tab...
[05:36] <Derath-Srvr> no need to go to other tabs to see the overall performance when looking at Tasks
[05:37] <Derath-Srvr> And no need to hit another button/check box and admin annoyance to see all processes
[05:39] <BiosElement> Hmmm
[05:39] <Derath-Srvr> But the main UI is the same as that new phone OS they are pushing... to me, it look like an ADD's worst nightmare for not getting ANYTHING done because of all the movement/updates/etc...
[05:39] <BiosElement> Handy Hint
[05:39] <BiosElement> Don't rant at the person helping you and expect to get a refund
[05:39] <Derath-Srvr> lol
[05:40] <Derath-Srvr> Yep... I've been on the CS side of that... that's why I never act out against the CS reps I deal with
[05:40] <BiosElement> Oh, and don't rant about no support when you change the passwords to lock us out.
[05:40] <BiosElement> Do that and you'll be lucky to be able to login once we fix it. >.>
[05:42] <BiosElement> And he's using a dev build of bukkit....
[05:42] <BiosElement> As in, incomplete. And wonders why it crashes
[05:42]  * BiosElement sighs
[05:43] <Derath-Srvr> lol
[05:44] <BiosElement> Thankfully we're not too stupid refund wise. If you break it, we're not refunding you. >.>
[05:47] <Derath-Srvr> There is one thing about this shift I am excited for... I can finally play DDO on the weekend again... 6+ hours a night that I can DDO without too much worry...
[05:47] <Derath-Srvr> Better than only a chance of ~2 hours a weekend total
[05:48] <BiosElement> Ahaha Yayy
[05:48] <Derath-Srvr> brb, need a snack...
[05:50] <Derath-Srvr> back
[05:56] <Cheri703> I seem to get a lot of people whose hard drives are failing...
[05:57]  * Cheri703 is getting fairly decent at ddrescue :/
[05:57] <Derath-Srvr> lol
[05:58] <Cheri703> once I start having a bit of extra money, I might just stock up on a few to have on hand...
[06:08] <Derath-Srvr> Not a bad idea...
[17:22] <twotwozombie> hi, i am new :)
[17:22] <twotwozombie> ack
[17:22] <twotwozombie> wrong room lol
[18:27] <thafreak> So it would seem that now I need to become a joomla dev...awesome
[18:27] <paultag> thafreak: :)
[18:27] <thafreak> sarcasm doesn't come across correctly in irc...
[18:27] <paultag> Nope.
[20:46]  * jrgifford waves
[20:46] <jrgifford> Hello. whats up in ohio?
