| ScottHarrison | Hi all :) | 11:56 |
|---|---|---|
| jaddi27 | Hi ScottHarrison | 12:04 |
| ScottHarrison | I never realised there was an au channel until I found out about alis. | 12:06 |
| ScottHarrison | So pretty glad to have found it. | 12:06 |
| jaddi27 | Welcome to the channel! | 12:06 |
| jaddi27 | We have #ubuntu-au for main discussion (logged), and #ubuntu-au-chat for off-topic talk | 12:07 |
| ScottHarrison | is it fairly active? I guess it's getting a bit late now. | 12:07 |
| jaddi27 | but you will find this channel to be more used | 12:07 |
| jaddi27 | I think it has been a bit quieter over the past few weeks because people have been quite busy | 12:07 |
| jaddi27 | but we normally have quite a few people in here, and someone should reply to any questions asked | 12:08 |
| ScottHarrison | are the participants here mostly general ubuntu users, or mostly developers? | 12:08 |
| jaddi27 | mostly general users | 12:08 |
| jaddi27 | but we have a couple of developers in here I think | 12:08 |
| jaddi27 | Have you been using ubuntu for a while? | 12:09 |
| jaddi27 | welcome back after the split | 12:10 |
| ScottHarrison | whoah... | 12:10 |
| ScottHarrison | that was odd, I just watched a dozen people drop off here and like 900 from #ubuntu | 12:11 |
| sagaci | !netsplit | 12:11 |
| lubotu2 | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 12:11 |
| jaddi27 | yep, i think a server just went out | 12:11 |
| ScottHarrison | ah ok, I'm on irc.ubuntu.com so those that dropped off must have been on another server | 12:11 |
| jaddi27 | I think you were one of the ones affected, which is why you went off for a bit | 12:12 |
| ScottHarrison | anyway, in response to your question, I've used ubuntu on and off since 10.04. I prefer ubuntu over windows and run it almost exclusively at home but at work I use windows. | 12:13 |
| ScottHarrison | I saw you drop off, whilst I remained... You saw the same but vice versa... We were both affected in the sense that we couldn't see each other anymore because our servers stopped talking to each other. | 12:14 |
| jaddi27 | yes | 12:15 |
| ScottHarrison | how about yourself? have you used ubuntu for very long? | 12:16 |
| jaddi27 | I have been using Ubuntu since 6.06 (or 5.10 - i can't remember which), and have been using it full time for the past two years (since uni started) | 12:16 |
| jaddi27 | however I have just changed to a macbook air, so i unfortunately am not using it as much at the moment | 12:16 |
| ScottHarrison | I wish I could use ubuntu more at work... I work for an IT solutions company, so we support various local businesses. They almost all use windows for everything. | 12:17 |
| jaddi27 | yeah, most businesses do. I could use it at work (for software development), but use Windows due to needing to test websites in chrome on windows | 12:18 |
| jaddi27 | where are you located? | 12:19 |
| ScottHarrison | my company is growing, so we're hoping to one day have a development department and security analysis department... both of which will have more need for linux systems. | 12:19 |
| ScottHarrison | Victoria. | 12:19 |
| jaddi27 | That sounds quite interesting - security can be quite complex | 12:20 |
| ScottHarrison | that's my goal, penetration testing | 12:20 |
| jaddi27 | I am based in Brisbane | 12:21 |
| ScottHarrison | So during the week I'm fixing Windows machines, configuring and maintaining servers... On the weekend, I'm teaching myself programming and learning how to break the same systems. lol | 12:21 |
| jaddi27 | another netsplit | 12:21 |
| jaddi27 | some server is not working well tonight | 12:22 |
| ScottHarrison | jaddi27, I'm going to head to bed. Nice speaking to you. I'll be on here most nights, now that I know about it. | 12:23 |
| jaddi27 | Nice to meet you also. Hopefully there will be more people on for you to meet over the next few nights | 12:23 |
