[13:52] <thafreak> Morning Ohio
[13:56] <paultag> heyya
[14:10] <thafreak> paultag: i remember you raving about nagios a while back...you ever try any of the alternatives?
[14:10] <paultag> thafreak: nope
[14:10] <thafreak> kk
[14:10] <thafreak> i went and migrated a dirt old nagios setup I had to a new box running shinken...and so I became re-familiarized with nagios configs
[14:11] <thafreak> and they're not bad
[14:11] <thafreak> but I want to setup a monitoring box for some one who may be an idiot...
[14:11] <thafreak> so I thought about looking at alternatives, wondered if you saw any you liked
[14:11] <thafreak> question is open to anyone in the room too ;)
[14:12] <paultag> I have no idea, none really looked great to me
[14:15] <thafreak> might try icinga, the nagios fork...maybe they have an easy ui for management...
[14:52] <canthus13> thafreak: I think most of his raving stems from the massive amount of money they dropped on the bar a couple of years ago... :)
[14:52] <canthus13> thafreak: but other than that, Spiceworks is pretty simple.
[14:54]  * canthus13 played with it about 5 or 6 years ago...
[15:03] <thafreak> isn't spiceworks basically the commercialized fork of nagios?
[15:03] <thafreak> will check it out
[15:04] <thafreak> Really considering trying for this other job...double my salary, even just for a few months would probably dig us out of our financial hole
[15:04] <thafreak> so i want to get things set up at work so that a less competant person can handle things
[15:11] <thafreak> paultag: you play with that gitlabhq yet? Like try it out?
[15:12] <paultag> thafreak: no :(
[15:12] <thafreak> was wondering if it does forking...
[15:12] <paultag> gilbert: dude, congrats
[15:12] <paultag> thafreak: Not sure. I'd imagine so
[15:12] <paultag> gilbert: you rock
[15:12] <paultag> gilbert: all of my socks
[15:12] <thafreak> what happened to gilbert?
[15:12] <paultag> thafreak: he's a DD now
[15:12] <thafreak> he finish is phd
[15:12] <thafreak> nice
[15:12] <paultag> with upload rights
[15:12] <paultag> (duh)
[15:12] <thafreak> oh
[15:13] <thafreak> what package?
[15:13] <paultag> thafreak: what?
[15:13] <paultag> thafreak: no, he's a debian developer
[15:13] <paultag> gilbert@debian.org
[15:13] <thafreak> i caught that
[15:13] <paultag> well, not gilbert
[15:13] <paultag> because that's taken, but whatever he choose
[15:13] <thafreak> is he a package maintainer then?
[15:14] <paultag> thafreak: he's been a package maintainer, you can't become a debian developer without maintaining packages for a while
[15:14] <thafreak> ah, ok...what pkgs has he been maintaining?
[15:14] <paultag> [tag@chayot:~][11:14 AM]$ finger mgilbert@db.debian.org | grep Email
[15:14] <paultag> Email: Michael Gilbert <mgilbert@debian.org>
[15:14] <paultag> :D
[15:14] <paultag> thafreak: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mgilbert@debian.org
[15:15] <paultag> actually, now just http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mgilbert works
[15:17] <thafreak> cool
[15:18] <paultag> I'm waiting on my goddamn advocate
[15:18] <paultag> who I love, but it's been like a month and a half
[15:55] <thafreak> fucking fronteir dsl....piece of shit....worst dsl service I've ever seen
[15:55] <canthus13> s/dsl/service/
[15:55] <thafreak> i had dsl in the same city as my one client when i lived there...i think i had maybe 2 problems in the entire year i lived there
[15:56] <canthus13> I've dealt with their tech support and porting department. :(
[15:56] <thafreak> fucking business class dsl, never fucking works
[15:56] <canthus13> DSL sucks period.
[15:57] <thafreak> well, when I had it, I had verizon for the phone lines, but a different provider
[15:57] <paultag> 11:56 <+canthus13> DSL sucks period.
[15:57] <thafreak> and it worked awesome
[15:57] <paultag> canthus13: comma fail
[16:00] <canthus13> paultag: Heh.
[16:00] <canthus13> paultag: maybe it was intentional. :P
[16:01] <paultag> :P
[17:20] <Cheri703> as the resident female: I have a -_- for paultag and canthus13
[17:21] <canthus13> Cheri703: Sorry. :P
[17:22] <Cheri703> mmmhm
[17:22] <paultag> canthus13: yeah, sorry :)
[17:22] <Cheri703> heh
[17:22] <Cheri703> I got my sec+ study guide today :)
[17:27] <canthus13> Cool. :)
[17:27] <Cheri703> yeah, goal is to pass exam by the end of april (or may)
[17:30] <dzho> the -.- is for . . . the salty language?
[17:31] <Cheri703> for the "hur hur, period hur funny" moment they shared
[17:31] <Cheri703> it was a touching moment, but... -_-
[17:31] <Cheri703> ^sarcasm
[17:32] <dzho> oh, a bit too subtle for me to catch on a quick scrollback scan.  Sorry.
[17:32] <Cheri703> no worries
[17:32] <Cheri703> it was more of a "come on guys" than a "zomg an issue!" response from me
[17:32] <Cheri703> they know me :)
[17:33] <dzho> ah, right.  I'm not the whitest knight when it comes to this stuff, but I do try to keep an eye out.
[17:33] <Cheri703> also: salty language should probably be kept to a minimum as (though we don't get a TON of visitors) we do try to be family friendly
[17:33]  * dzho nods
[17:44] <Unit193> We do? I didn't notice. :P
[17:47] <dzho> Unit193: perhaps you weren't around for paultag's little salty-language munger?
[17:47] <dzho> twas quite amusing
[17:47] <paultag> I thought I was pretty tactful with how I put that
[17:47] <Unit193> He does it all the time. :P
[17:48] <paultag> not that I was in the right
[17:48] <paultag> because I was wrong
[17:48] <Unit193> That's alright, I'm in the wrong right now for using uptrack.
[17:49]  * dzho knows someone who is about to go work for them
[17:50] <dzho> there's been a bit of drubbing about the whole going-to-work-for-evil-ubercompany
[17:50] <Unit193> Heh, well it is money, and a little about linux.
[17:50] <dzho> more than a little about linux
[17:51] <dzho> quite a step up from, say, web development work
[17:51] <Unit193> I use uptrack because I don't want to reboot, and figure it's better than nothing at all.
[17:51] <Unit193> Other computer that does reboot uses liquorix.
[17:54] <dzho> http://www.yoper.com/ d'oh
[22:50] <Unit193> BiosElement: You going to setup your quessel core soonish? ;)
