* danfish is updating an hp microserver to 11.10 and crossing fingers and toes!07:49
SuprEngrGoogle+ suspended Super Engineer's a/c - didn't believe it was a real name - lol08:22
* SuprEngr is now now known as Bill Boo on G+08:23
dwatkinsyeah, they seem to have decreed we're not allowed to use anything but real names, annoyingly08:30
SuprEngrI feel sorry for all those good peeps using the name Ubuntu + firstname on G+08:35
SuprEngri did wonder how I got away with mine for so long ;)08:35
dwatkinsthe thing is, they did a complete about-face on this issue08:36
dwatkinshttp://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2011/02/freedom-to-be-who-you-want-to-be.html08:36
* SuprEngr looks at ^08:37
SuprEngrhmmm... interesting08:39
dwatkinsyeah, as many of the comments say it appears to be a complete reversal08:39
dwatkinsThey could insist you tell them your real name, but it remain secret, for example.08:39
SuprEngrbut end result of the policy is that e.g. "Super Engineer" gets suspended with only option given being to change it and "submit for approval" which "normally takes a few days"08:41
dwatkinshttp://vimeo.com/2618085408:42
dwatkinsinteresting interview08:42
SuprEngrlove it!  - as I haver always maintained.. sarcasm is the *highest* form of wit08:46
dwatkinsindeed08:53

doubi'afternoon all. I foolishly started dd'ing a device to an external HD without specifying a reasonable block size. The drive is ~480Gb, it's copied ~340 since Friday night.11:11
doubiNow, I've read that ddpt and dd_rescue both have the ability to resume a copy. What I'd like to know is if they'll be able to do so with an image created by plain ol' dd? Because if so, I should be able to Ctrl-C this process and resume it with a reasonable block size and finish the whole thing quicker, right?11:11

SuprEngrgiven up on 1104 -> 1110 upgrade in place Oneiric. formatted partion.  too many fails14:41
* SuprEngr downloads 1110 iso to see if fresh install kills those bugs before reporting14:42
