sflrshe woke up crying at night with over 40C fever. that's where my sleep ended for the night07:35
Kilosouch07:36
sflrIs Thunderbird a good email client? or is there something better for Ubuntu?07:36
Kiloslotsa peeps use thunderbird07:36
sflrok, I also use it. I was just wondering in case I'm missing out on something else07:37
superflysflr: if you can make it not eat your mail, KMail is the best mail client I've ever used. I currently use Thunderbird, which is OK - nothing to write home about though07:37
Kilosi have tried it but prefer evolution07:37
Kilosthunderbird  spent too much time fetching mails i already had and setting up was too much work07:38
sflrKilos I think they made it more userfriendly. I just entered username, password, didnt need to do any other setup. 07:44
Kiloswill try it again when i go 12.04 or 11.10 lubuntu07:45
sflrdo you work on laptop or PC?07:46

Kilosoh my goodness08:10
NeVeR_I'm connected to shadowfire08:10
Kilostry changing the port08:10
Kilosi use 800108:11
Kilosstill need to learn how all the port stuff works08:11
NeVeR_8001 also aint working ;(08:14
Kiloseish08:14
Kilosi would reboot and inetpro would tell me forget that windows stuff08:15
Kiloshow can all the irc clients not work08:16
sflrNeVeR_: http://webchat.freenode.net never lets me down :P08:17
NeVeR_im using that at the moment.. but its crap08:19
Kilosthere i am using xchat quassel and konversation08:19
Kilossomething in your pc isnt happy08:20
Kilossflr, didnt you ever get xchat working?08:21
sflrXchat from home, webchat from work08:25
Kilosah08:25
Kilosnever one last thing before i say reboot install weechat08:27
Kilosand try that08:27
KilosNeVeR_, ^^08:27
inetproeh08:27
Kiloslo  inetpro 08:27
sflrall ports are blocked at the office, only few are open which are work related. haha08:27
inetprosflr: I've been using Thunderbird for many years08:27
Kiloswas waiting for action from you08:27
sflrthanks inetpro I will stick with TB then08:27
inetproonly problem I have with it lately is that it slows down when you have many masses of mail08:28
inetprodue to the new way they store stuff and index it for quick search results08:28
inetproto circumvent that I move old messages to the local folder08:29
sflryes, I created a local_inbox folder08:29
sflrthe slower the mails come the better! otherwise I would be reading mails whole day. haha08:29
inetprohmm....08:30
* inetpro filters messages in Thunderbird very effectively by using message views08:32
sflrsome people like to come to my desk as soon as they sent an email to me. very irritating. 'did you read my emal?' 'No, my email is closed'08:32
NeVeR_sflr, I can connect to shadowfire on 666708:32
sflrmessage views. uhm. I look into that.08:34
Kilosinetpro, you got any ideas to help NeVeR_ 08:35
NeVeR_[10:34:34] * Connecting to chat.freenode.net:6665... [10:34:35] * Connection failure: Remote host closed connection###08:35
NeVeR_getting that now08:35
NeVeR_let me try a different proxy :\08:36
NeVeR_mmm our web proxy blocks the port completely08:37
inetprohmm... trying to connect via proxy?08:37
inetproobviously it's blocked08:37
NeVeR_well I have an SSH tunnel to my VPS, as everything is blocked at work, now it seems freenode doesn't want me to connect ;(08:38
inetprotalk to Symmetria about IRC and corporate security08:38
NeVeR_I'm connected to shadowfire, so it seems its just freenode08:38
inetproIIRC some VPS providers don't allow IRC connectivity08:40
NeVeR_ill try setting up the quassel core this evening08:40
NeVeR_im connected to shadowfire as well though.. its also an IRC network.. also tunneling...08:40
NeVeR_I think maybe freenode blocked my VPS provider or something08:40
inetproquassel core is just another IRC client08:41
NeVeR_because it says Remote Host closed the connection. maybe its timing out08:41
NeVeR_if I can get the core to connect, then I can just connect to the core..08:41
NeVeR_otherwise I'll use one of my other VPSes08:41
inetproNeVeR_: have you tried connecting via port 7070 with SSL?08:42
inetprocheck http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml08:42
NeVeR_nope.. let me try08:42
Kiloswhat a busines hey08:43
NeVeR_lol08:44
NeVeR_[10:42:48] * Connecting to chat.freenode.net:7070... [10:42:48] * Connection failure: Unknown error08:44
NeVeR_unknown error O_O08:44

KilosNeVeR_, are you winning?10:40
NeVeR_nah.. ill just use the web client at work.. im sure our CPT offices are unrestricted cos the guys there are always on facebook10:46
Kilosmaybe thats the reason its being blocked10:47
NeVeR_lol :P10:50
Kiloswont stop them though if browsers still work10:51
NeVeR_:>11:03
NeVeR_i dont understand why I can't connect using my ssh tunnel though :( I'm sure my VPS provider must of blocked freenode..11:20
Kilosdid you try getting help from freenode. they will tell you most likely what the prob is NeVeR_ 11:26
