UltimooreHey all04:49

BobJonkmanUbuntu Hour in Kitchener tonight, 7:00pm EST at Misty Mountain Cafe16:04
genii-aroundWish I could make it :(16:04
BobJonkmangenii-around!  You haven't been around16:06
BobJonkmanI have to go to Toronto on Sunday -- care to have an impromptu Ubuntu Hour there?16:07
genii-aroundBobJonkman: I have a huge construction project on the go in the building next door, will be busy until April or so, except for Fridays.16:07
genii-aroundBobJonkman: Sunday is actually a really good day for that, because we have usually some people hanging out in the FreeNet office all day and tinkering16:08
BobJonkmanThat16:08
BobJonkmanThat sounds like it's good for you.  Work is better than no work16:09
genii-aroundBobJonkman: Yeah but these 70-100 hour work weeks are grinding me down. Hopefully I'll have enough cash stashed after for a decent new computer though16:10
BobJonkmanSo, will you have an hour-long break sometime on Sunday?  Maybe an Ubuntu Lunch Hour?16:11
genii-aroundSounds like a possible plan. Let me see who is going to be hanging around this Sunday in the office and get back to you16:12
BobJonkmanOK, let me know a place and a time and I'll put something in the LoCo calendar, post to the mailing list(s), and I'll show up with a small handful of 11.10 and 11.04 CDs16:13
BobJonkmanGot to find a place to hand those out by April16:13
genii-aroundI've distributed most of the Oneiric CDs, I think I have some server ones and maybe 2-3 regular16:17
mimcpherHow does the shiny ubuntu branded CD distribution work, anyways?  mysterious people (I've never seen who) tends to drop a box of them off at the Waterloo Computer Science Club where we hand 'em out16:40
mimcphercanonical used to mail them to us but that doesn't happen anymore16:40
genii-aroundmimcpher: They will ship them now out only toLoCos16:40
mimcpherAh, I see.  We were ca.archive.ubuntu.com; they'd ship 'em to us. Now we're just a "regular" old mirror16:41
genii-aroundmimcpher: In your case probably dscassel is slipping in and dropping them off :)16:42
mimcphergenii-around: hmm, I have seen him around :P16:42
mimcpherNever correllated it with CD dropoffs :P16:42
mimcpherbut then, I use Debian <ducks>16:43
genii-aroundIt's all good.16:43
BobJonkmanI think the UofW is still the Canadian mirror...16:45
* BobJonkman checks his software repositories16:45
genii-aroundThere was one in sherbrooke16:47
mimcphersherbrooke's one is gone16:49
mimcpher(our reign as the supreme canadian free software mirror continues!)16:49
genii-aroundHeh16:50
genii-aroundBeing in Toronto I occasionally will use yorku.ca Ubuntu repository, when the regular ones are having issues16:51
BobJonkmanHmm... ca.archive.ubuntu.com resolves to a range from 91.189.92.169 to 91.189.92.184, all of which reverse-resolve to somename.canonical.com16:51
mimcpherWaterloo throttled our bandwidth to 100mbit over a year ago, so ca.archive got pointed to canonical machines instead16:52
mimcpher(We kept saturating the university's links...)16:52
mimcpherWe are ca.releases.ubuntu.com still16:52
BobJonkmanHmm.  The current ca repositories are still the fastest from Waterloo.16:53
BobJonkmanWonder where the canonical.com  servers are located?16:54
mimcpherUSA somewhere16:54
BobJonkmanCanonical has offices in Canada; Montreal I think..16:54
mimcpherBobJonkman: we're fast if you transit to the university via ORION, the Ontario Research Innovation Optical Network.16:55
mimcpherThat'll be some canadian home ISPs, all universities/hospitals/gov't/stuff16:55
mimcpherzaurac.canonical.com is connected via Sprint; afaik they don't have operations outside the US16:57
mimcpheroh, missed a hop. They're in a european data center owned by datahop16:58
BobJonkmanNope.  On a regular consumer connection here.  "Rogers Business", but I dispute the "Business" part (in services rendered, not in revenue extracted)17:00
mimcpherRogers peers with ORION, so yes it'll be fast17:05
BobJonkmanWell, that's good to know.  Doesn't make me like Rogers any better, tho.17:12
mimcpherBell is basically the only ISP I've tried that doesn't17:12
johanbrHmm... Videotron appears to reach the University of Waterloo through Chicago, via Sprint and Shaw20:24
mimcpherThrough chicago? Seems a bit roundabout.20:33
mimcpherI'd expect there to be Quebec -> Toronto fibre20:33
johanbr Oh, no doubt, but I've heard Videotron is picky about their peering20:38
johanbrsomewhat like Bell, but maybe not quite as bad20:39
