magespawnyes Kilos, aspect ratio is a bit wrong though06:22
Kilosaw06:22
Kilostry again with ubuntu06:23
magespawnbarrydk: if you set up a quassel core server, i think so yes06:23
magespawnKilos  that is just a setting so easy to sort06:23
Kilosah06:23
barrydki just use it for chat here nothing fancy06:24
magespawnnice thing with the core is your client connects to the core, and the core stays conmected to your channels06:24
magespawnalso you can have multiple clients connect at the same time06:25
Kiloswb flies06:26
magespawnbarrydk: you can usually tell who is running a quasselcore, they rarely seem to dissconnect06:28
superflyand mine is having issues06:29
Maazsuperfly: By the way, Kilos on freenode told me "tell superfly Morning raoul. hope its just the web thats sick and not your server" 51 minutes and 14 seconds ago06:29

magespawnnotifications and reminders of things that  are happening17:37
mazalI think that is very cool from the thunderbird devs17:38
Kilosah ty17:38
Kilosdont all mail clients do that?17:38

magespawnKilos you would encrypt your email to stop other people reading it17:38
Kilosif i got something secret to say i use pidgin otr17:39
