keirAlanBell: I did a bootchart and it seems (if I'm reading it right) to have lots of idle time00:26
diddledankeir: try looking through `dmesg` output on a freshly booted instance to see if there are any timeouts or other errors during bootup00:42

knightwise=-) H@X0rrrrr08:38
MartijnVdSknightwise: nah, it's 3 "normal" buttons to get from "off" to "service menu"08:39
MartijnVdSknightwise: then a press of the "factory" button (which isn't on normal remotes, yay Logitech Harmony)08:39
MartijnVdSand then you just select the country you want, and do a factory reset08:40
MartijnVdSAnd you need a UK postcode so it knows which "local" channels to use when there are options 8-)08:42

DJonesfoobarry: Just saw your comment about keyboards for N7 I've just got one of these for my mother-in-law as a christmas present for her N7 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FASJ4B8/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=115:19
DJonesSeemed quite good, keyboard attaches inside the case with velco so you can use the case purely as a case, or with the keyboard, although as far as I can see it is only compatible with the 2013 N715:21
foobarrywow thats a nice price15:21
foobarryi just clicked buy on a hp one on the eebay15:21
foobarrythanks, if i had a n7 i would buythat15:21
foobarry"synthetic leather"15:22
foobarryi wonder whats not comaptible15:22
DJonesI'm not sure, I'd double check but I've just wrapped it this morning, I'm sure the instructions mentioned it, and I think one of the reviews comments on it somewhere15:23
shaunowow, talk about awkward translations.  re the christmas naughty/nice traditions, "if you are good, jesus will bring you sweets.  if you're bad, a black man will beat you".  there really seems to be no good english translation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chort15:47
shaunoI've suggested the less descriptive 'a demon'.  because there's no way someone's going to read the original the right way15:50
foobarryfolk christian is misleading too16:15
foobarrydoesn't have any judeao christian basis16:16

ali1234and it isn't rtorrent19:44
MartijnVdSmaybe it's your history with hetzner? ;)19:44
shaunojust adding a datapoint since mine's on hetzner too (I know some things have blocked hetzner flat-out, so it was worth checking)19:44

shaunodaftykins: I always find it entertaining that nasa.gov still requires the www. prefix.  of all people.22:54
shaunoI remember reading a whole blog article there about why it's still the case, but I can never find it again.  'www' makes a very poor search term22:59
directhexsome old school sysadmins are obsessive about it23:01
directhexoxford uni was like that23:01
directhexi had complaints when my subdomain didn't force www23:02
penguin42shauno: I would point out that nasa is concerned with a lot more than the *world* in www23:02
shaunoI just think it's an interesting example because we tend to see that behaviour and consider it broken23:03
shaunoah, found it!  simple answer . they can't afford it?  http://blogs.nasa.gov/nasadotgov/2011/05/31/post_1306860816073/23:06
penguin42I guess the DNS change is easy but then someone would have to spend sometime testing any larger change - I'm not sure if I believe there is a need to add more servers23:24
