| Ultimoore | Hey all | 04:49 |
|---|---|---|
| DarwinSurvivor | hey | 07:16 |
| BobJonkman | Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener tonight, 7:00pm EST at Misty Mountain Cafe | 16:04 |
| genii-around | Wish I could make it :( | 16:04 |
| BobJonkman | genii-around! You haven't been around | 16:06 |
| BobJonkman | I have to go to Toronto on Sunday -- care to have an impromptu Ubuntu Hour there? | 16:07 |
| genii-around | BobJonkman: 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-around | BobJonkman: Sunday is actually a really good day for that, because we have usually some people hanging out in the FreeNet office all day and tinkering | 16:08 |
| BobJonkman | That | 16:08 |
| BobJonkman | That sounds like it's good for you. Work is better than no work | 16:09 |
| genii-around | BobJonkman: 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 though | 16:10 |
| BobJonkman | So, will you have an hour-long break sometime on Sunday? Maybe an Ubuntu Lunch Hour? | 16:11 |
| genii-around | Sounds like a possible plan. Let me see who is going to be hanging around this Sunday in the office and get back to you | 16:12 |
| BobJonkman | OK, 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 CDs | 16:13 |
| BobJonkman | Got to find a place to hand those out by April | 16:13 |
| genii-around | I've distributed most of the Oneiric CDs, I think I have some server ones and maybe 2-3 regular | 16:17 |
| mimcpher | How 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 out | 16:40 |
| mimcpher | canonical used to mail them to us but that doesn't happen anymore | 16:40 |
| genii-around | mimcpher: They will ship them now out only toLoCos | 16:40 |
| mimcpher | Ah, I see. We were ca.archive.ubuntu.com; they'd ship 'em to us. Now we're just a "regular" old mirror | 16:41 |
| genii-around | mimcpher: In your case probably dscassel is slipping in and dropping them off :) | 16:42 |
| mimcpher | genii-around: hmm, I have seen him around :P | 16:42 |
| mimcpher | Never correllated it with CD dropoffs :P | 16:42 |
| mimcpher | but then, I use Debian <ducks> | 16:43 |
| genii-around | It's all good. | 16:43 |
| BobJonkman | I think the UofW is still the Canadian mirror... | 16:45 |
| * BobJonkman checks his software repositories | 16:45 | |
| genii-around | There was one in sherbrooke | 16:47 |
| mimcpher | sherbrooke's one is gone | 16:49 |
| mimcpher | (our reign as the supreme canadian free software mirror continues!) | 16:49 |
| genii-around | Heh | 16:50 |
| genii-around | Being in Toronto I occasionally will use yorku.ca Ubuntu repository, when the regular ones are having issues | 16:51 |
| BobJonkman | Hmm... 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.com | 16:51 |
| mimcpher | Waterloo throttled our bandwidth to 100mbit over a year ago, so ca.archive got pointed to canonical machines instead | 16:52 |
| mimcpher | (We kept saturating the university's links...) | 16:52 |
| mimcpher | We are ca.releases.ubuntu.com still | 16:52 |
| BobJonkman | Hmm. The current ca repositories are still the fastest from Waterloo. | 16:53 |
| BobJonkman | Wonder where the canonical.com servers are located? | 16:54 |
| mimcpher | USA somewhere | 16:54 |
| BobJonkman | Canonical has offices in Canada; Montreal I think.. | 16:54 |
| mimcpher | BobJonkman: we're fast if you transit to the university via ORION, the Ontario Research Innovation Optical Network. | 16:55 |
| mimcpher | That'll be some canadian home ISPs, all universities/hospitals/gov't/stuff | 16:55 |
| mimcpher | zaurac.canonical.com is connected via Sprint; afaik they don't have operations outside the US | 16:57 |
| mimcpher | oh, missed a hop. They're in a european data center owned by datahop | 16:58 |
| BobJonkman | Nope. On a regular consumer connection here. "Rogers Business", but I dispute the "Business" part (in services rendered, not in revenue extracted) | 17:00 |
| mimcpher | Rogers peers with ORION, so yes it'll be fast | 17:05 |
| BobJonkman | Well, that's good to know. Doesn't make me like Rogers any better, tho. | 17:12 |
| mimcpher | Bell is basically the only ISP I've tried that doesn't | 17:12 |
| johanbr | Hmm... Videotron appears to reach the University of Waterloo through Chicago, via Sprint and Shaw | 20:24 |
| mimcpher | Through chicago? Seems a bit roundabout. | 20:33 |
| mimcpher | I'd expect there to be Quebec -> Toronto fibre | 20:33 |
| johanbr | Oh, no doubt, but I've heard Videotron is picky about their peering | 20:38 |
| johanbr | somewhat like Bell, but maybe not quite as bad | 20:39 |
