jrgiffordskellat, how'd tuesday go?14:46
skellatjrgifford: Long, low turnout, and a bunch of voters kept coming to the wrong precinct so I had to sign off on redirection sheets.  Plus I had to call some IDs into question which caused all sorts of consternation.14:50
skellatjrgifford: I did have one provisional ballot voter I had to shepherd through due to a voter registration/presented identification mismatch.  That got interesting.  The law on all that is gonna change in June too.14:53
jrgiffordfun14:55
jrgiffordisn't ohio the only place in the US where you can vote with a fishing license?14:56

skellatjrgifford: Umm...no.15:06
skellatjrgifford: Fishing license isn't usable if it doesn't bear your current address15:06
jrgiffordskellat, right, so if fishing license has your current address, it's ok.15:07
skellatjrgifford: If it does, though, it is usable.  Heck, a "letter from a government agency addressed to you" counts.15:07
skellatOur ID rules are kinda bonkers15:07
skellatWhich is why it is still shocking when I get a provisional ballot situation.15:08
jrgiffordwell, you can't complain that you're disenfranchising voters if your ID rules are that... loose.15:08
skellatjrgifford: Yeah15:08
skellatThat we don't even require cause for issuance of absentee ballots also loosens things up too15:09
skellatWhich is why the 16.6% turnout we had sucked.  There was no reason for it simply as the only barrier left was individual voter uninterest/lack of comprehension.15:09
skellatjrgifford: How many years yet until you get to vote?15:13
jrgiffordskellat,  ~1.215:14
jrgiffordand that's a terrible turnout.15:14
skellatYeah, it was15:14
skellatSo, you'll be eligible in time to vote in the next election for Governor in November 2014.  Technically you'll be able to vote in the primary next May even as a 17 year old but that is a little messy.15:15
jrgiffordright, because i turn 18 before the general election, i can vote in the primary.15:16
jrgiffordi intend to try, but as you said, it'll be a little messy. :)15:16
skellatThankfully the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has a huge staff compared to Ashtabula County's.  Talk to them next February and they'll get you set up.15:19

skellatApparently we're having a wild day today on FreeNode with netsplits abounding19:24
drkokandyI go this the last time I got bumped & reconnected: [14:36:18] [kloeri] [Global Notice] Hi all, apologies for the continued netsplits. We're having some issues stemming from a DDoS attack but we're working with our sponsors on attack mitigation. Thank you for using freenode.19:25
drkokandy*I GOT this19:25
skellatYep19:26
skellatThe virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit is gonna be fun next week if we have this happen19:26
skellatOtherwise, how is the life out Ashland way drkokandy?19:27
drkokandycold today down here... we had commencement today at the University. a little sad that the nice weather couldn't have continued just through today for our new grads19:28
yanoit's actually "freenode"19:29
yano:319:29
skellatyano: Okay.  I get too used to camel case dealing with Wikipedia and all19:29
drkokandywhat if camel case were spelled CamelCase ? :-)19:30
yanono worries19:30
yanohah19:30
Unit193...SASL, CertFP, and server password setup.  Not a single one worked...19:30
skellatdrkokandy: I thought Wikipedia had a recursion loop on that at one point19:30
skellatUnit193: You're starting in the middle.  What's goin' on?19:31
drkokandyas it should :-) skellat19:31
Unit193That'd be why.  Services are down. :)19:31
skellatWell19:32
skellatI wonder what it would take to get a fall-back XMPP conference room set up for the LoCo somewhere19:32
skellatDefense in depth is wonderful with multiple fall backs19:33
skellatThat's a thought for another time, though19:34
drkokandyI'm sure there are other free IRC hosts19:34
drkokandybut it looks calmer now19:34
skellatThis doesn't look good: "(03:33:46 PM) christel has changed the topic to: 21:31:42 jechu [~dvrq@118.99.71.3] requested unknown CTCP FREENODE from #freenode: IS BEING DDOSSED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE DONT LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE BEING MANAGED. EXPECT MORE IF THERE IS NO CHANGE. - Public service announcement by Mr. Jechu."19:34
drkokandywll19:35
drkokandywell19:35
skellatI'm thinking more in terms of like when we were renovating the chicken coop out at the farm in central Ashtabula County.  We've got multiple layers of defense for the chickens to lay eggs in case of coyotes.  The first is the barn cats on guard.  Second is fencing.  Third is fencing on the coop.  Fourth is some reinforcement inside the coop.  Idea is that the cats are the trip wire in case of coyotes and that the other layers slow 'em down unt19:37
skellatWe lose freenode we can fall back to something else.  We lose the fallback, we fall back to something else.  Worst comes to worst, I put stamps on postcards and mail things to people I suppose.19:38
jrgiffordwe could always go to debian land19:39
jrgiffordtake up residence in #ubuntu-expats-us-oh19:39
skellatJust have to tack on "refugees" somewhere, I suppose19:40
skellatMind you, these are all theoretical notions.   I'm still watching the scroll-by in #freenode as the melodrama continues.19:40
jrgiffordi need to start hanging out on the debian servers more often anyway. i mean, that's where paultag is!19:46
skellatYep19:46
skellatI just need to figure out what I'm doing wrong with my ZNC configuration to be on both networks at the same time19:46
drkokandyin Quassel I'm on 3 servers right now... in a total of 16 room19:47
drkokandys19:47
Unit193jrgifford: I'm on OFTC, but only 2 channels. :D19:49
Unit193smxi and debian-mentors.19:49
yanoi'm on OFTC too19:51
yanoi'm on too many networks19:51
yanoand too many channels on freenode19:51
