| balloons | finally setup znc.. the only weird thing I found was there warnings about not hand editing the configuration file.. I found this extremely odd given they are using a nice easy to read conf file layout. There solution was to use the webmin interface (umm.. I'm on a server), or use the self proclaimed undocumented *admin commands. I edited the file by hand anyway and got what I wanted | 17:24 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | balloons: how's that working for you? | 18:48 |
| balloons | mhall119: it's working out pretty well.. without I would have missed your reply :-) Since for right now I'm still mobile and disconnected running around with a laptop, it wouldn't otherwise be possible for me to stay on IRC | 19:56 |
| balloons | the setup was pretty much 2 lines.. apt-get install znc, znc --makeconf | 19:56 |
| mhall119 | balloons: I keep irssi running on my ec2 server, and just ssh into it | 20:44 |
| mhall119 | thinking about using something like znc though | 20:44 |
| balloons | yes, I messed about with irssi a little bit.. I ultimately didn't end up using it.. But as you can see.. I'm on ec2 with znc.. didn't even bother with dns masking | 20:50 |
| balloons | since I'm more apt to use xchat on the desktop, and a native android client on the phone, I ended up ditching irssi.. But that is another solution.. Normally I like console interfaces.. I think I need more time | 20:51 |
| balloons | on my setup, I was going to do a writeup about it, but in the end it was really simple.. There's alot more that could be done, but I'm happy with this as-is for now. I'll share it with you when it's ready for consumption :-) | 20:54 |
| mhall119 | sounds good | 20:55 |
| mhall119 | I'll probably stick with irssi, but would like to run it locally rather than over ssh | 20:55 |
| balloons | on the sharing note I suppose I should set-up another blog for this type of stuff.. I don't really have a public face that is attached to my real name atm | 20:57 |
| travisHAZE | Anybody here in the Pinellas County area? If so, do you know of any place thats explicitly hiring? | 21:05 |

| mhall119 | travisHAZE: I drove from Lakeland to the St. Pete Times building for 4 months | 21:30 |
| travisHAZE | Yeah, but have you walked? | 21:30 |
| mhall119 | nope | 21:30 |
| balloons | does your school have any oppurtunties? Where do you attend school? | 21:30 |
| mhall119 | I suppose walking would limit your commuting radius | 21:30 |

| travisHAZE | If I can FIND a job that will pay, I have no problem buying a bus pass | 21:31 |

| balloons | help desk is another place.. they hire students for that as well.. answer phone and do similar tech support | 21:33 |
| travisHAZE | Call centers typically wont even interview me | 21:34 |
| travisHAZE | Many of them know my mother | 21:34 |
| travisHAZE | But I'll definitely try, I'm not above trying | 21:34 |
