[03:22] <ChinnoDog> aaaargh. Spend half an hour trying to figure out why my new vps won't download packages from a PPA only to discover launchpad is down
[03:37] <rmg51> silly doggie
[03:38] <ChinnoDog> launchpad needs mirrors
[04:16] <jthan> For why?
[04:20] <ChinnoDog> Because so many depend on it and it is inconvenient when it goes down.
[04:25] <TheLordOfTime> ChinnoDog: um... but when the datacenters all go *fizzle* with the power, that's out of their hands?
[04:25] <TheLordOfTime> probably isn't cheap to run the servers, mirroring it would, what, double the costs?
[04:26] <ChinnoDog> People donate mirrors
[04:26] <ChinnoDog> Does Canonical pay anyone to mirror the Ubuntu repositories?
[04:47] <jthan> Man.
[10:41] <JonathanD> Morning.
[10:41] <JonathanD> and finally upgrading.
[10:49] <jedijf> bside'ing

[10:53] <JonathanD> 2 week down at the new job
[11:03] <rmg51> Morning
[11:20] <JonathanD> Hey rmg51 how goes?
[11:20] <rmg51> goes alright at the moment
[11:20] <rmg51> just getting ready to go shopping
[11:21] <JonathanD> Pick me up some socks.

[11:23] <rmg51> Acme first
