| Brainiarc7 | Hello guys | 09:24 |
| superfly | hi Brainiarc7 | 09:25 |
| Brainiarc7 | Hey superfly | 09:26 |
| Brainiarc7 | I was lurking around the Nairobi Linux User Group mailing list and saw mention of the #ubuntu-za IRC chaneel and thought, why not connect and interact with you guys? | 09:27 |
| TinuvaMac | all the way from Kenya, heh why not :P | 09:28 |
| Brainiarc7 | Yeah | 09:28 |
| Brainiarc7 | I currently run Arch Linux in a dual boot setup.. | 09:30 |
| Brainiarc7 | And Ubuntu in a VM | 09:30 |
| superfly | Brainiarc7: Kilos is trying to get everyone from Africa together in #ubuntu-africa | 09:30 |

| Kilos | hi Guest14422 you forgot you nick graeme? | 10:14 |
| Kilos | hehe | 10:14 |
| === Guest14422 is now known as ThatGraemeGuy | ||
| Kilos | wb ThatGraemeGuy | 10:15 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | ta | 10:15 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | what happened there I wonder | 10:16 |
| Kilos | oh i thought lurking incognito | 10:16 |
| inetpro | yikes! | 10:27 |
| * inetpro having to catch up again | 10:27 | |
| Kilos | haha | 10:27 |

| Kilos | hi magellanic | 10:36 |
| magellanic | greets :) | 10:36 |
| superfly | drussell: Good thanks. Friends, Code. What more can you ask for? | 10:54 |
| superfly | sup magellanic | 10:54 |
| magellanic | superfly: :) | 10:55 |
| stickyboy | Raining in Nairobi. | 11:31 |
| stickyboy | Finally... | 11:31 |
| Kilos | rain is good anywhere | 11:31 |
| Trixar_za | superfly: sandwich and a cold beer? | 11:36 |
| Kilos | lol | 11:47 |
| Trixar_za | glass windows are fun | 12:25 |
| Trixar_za | They have weird dynamics | 12:25 |
| Trixar_za | http://trixarian.net/windows.jpg | 12:34 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | you're playing minetest now? | 12:34 |
| Kilos | haha | 12:34 |
| Trixar_za | I have my own server - what do you think? :P | 12:36 |
| Kilos | looks good | 12:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | ew boring | 12:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | i stopped playing on our server because nobody else played | 12:37 |
| Kilos | yip alone sucks | 12:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | nice to build still with others and see what's been done already | 12:37 |
| Trixar_za | I have a creative server, so you pretty much have everything you could need. Does have a slight survival element. | 12:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | ew, creative is boring too | 12:38 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | well, for me | 12:38 |
| Trixar_za | Interesting thing about the window panes is that you can leave out the corner blocks and water and lava sources will stay in place | 12:38 |
| Trixar_za | Mind you, without the corner, the water and lava will mix, so for lava in water you need to leave the corners in place | 12:39 |
| Trixar_za | I have too many mods loaded, but it's mostly for fun and to build more stuff | 12:40 |
| Trixar_za | Guns just to fire at stuff - lol | 12:41 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | i'm building a rubik's cube | 12:41 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | which reminds me let me work on it some more | 12:41 |
| Trixar_za | There's a few physics quarks that are fun to mess with | 12:51 |
| Trixar_za | Like the worldedit tool doesn't activate physics - so you can technical build air pockets in water and lava | 12:51 |
| Trixar_za | It does collapse if you build within one block away from the edge | 12:52 |

| Kilos | hi octoquad | 16:26 |
| octoquad | Hey Kilos | 16:26 |
| Kilos | hi Tonberry | 16:32 |
| Tonberry | hi | 16:32 |
| * mazal needs another drill | 16:40 | |
| magespawn | good evening | 17:30 |
| Kilos | hi magespawn | 17:32 |
| Kilos | ai! net splits again | 17:32 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 18:10 |
| inetpro | good evening | 18:10 |
| magespawn | hi inetpro | 18:20 |
| magespawn | inetpro: do you use cron? | 18:21 |
| inetpro | magespawn: obviously | 18:21 |
| Kilos | ohi inetpro sorry i had scrolled back and couldnt see what was causing the plings | 18:22 |
| magespawn | inetpro: example? | 18:22 |
| magespawn | not of cron itself, but what you use it for | 18:23 |
| Kilos | mazal does that cron stuff | 18:23 |
| Kilos | crontab i think | 18:23 |
| Kilos | i stay awake and watch things happen | 18:24 |
| magespawn | i understand what it does and how, i was curios about a real world example | 18:24 |
| inetpro | magespawn: man -s5 crontab | 18:24 |
| magespawn | crontab is where the commands are stored that you want to run, and the times etc | 18:25 |
| inetpro | see: EXAMPLE CRON FILE | 18:25 |
| Kilos | so you can start an upgrade late after you have gone to bed etc | 18:26 |
| Kilos | i spose backups too | 18:26 |
| magespawn | almost anything you want Kilos | 18:27 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 18:27 |
| inetpro | magespawn: 0 8,17 * * * /batch/routinejobs > /dev/null 2>&1 # Run routine jobs at 8:00 and 17:00 | 18:30 |
| inetpro | there's one of many real world jobs I have | 18:31 |
| magespawn | everyday i assume since there is only time specified there | 18:32 |
| inetpro | correct | 18:32 |
| inetpro | # minute hour dayomon monoyear dayoweek command | 18:33 |
| magespawn | and that then runs the file routinejobs with what you have specified there | 18:33 |
| inetpro | s/file/script/ | 18:34 |
| magespawn | i do not understand "/dev/null 2>&1" | 18:35 |
| magespawn | is that for the output of routinejobs? | 18:36 |
| inetpro | magespawn: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10508843/what-is-dev-null-21 | 18:36 |
| inetpro | /dev/null is the bitbocket | 18:37 |
| inetpro | bitbucket | 18:37 |
| inetpro | or dustbin if you may | 18:37 |
| Kilos | inetpro shout when you got time please | 18:38 |
| magespawn | i see | 18:38 |
| inetpro | in other words redirecting output to nothingness | 18:38 |
| Kilos | im sure i made a branch for twit but can find it | 18:38 |
| inetpro | magespawn: 2>&1 redirects standard error (2) to standard output (1), which then discards it as well since standard output has already been redirected | 18:39 |
| magespawn | that means if there is an error you would not see it | 18:39 |
| inetpro | magespawn: correct | 18:40 |
| magespawn | is that wise? i would have thought it would be a good idea to be notified of errors | 18:40 |
| inetpro | you typically make pretty much sure that errors are dealt with in the script | 18:40 |
| magespawn | i see, so if there is an error of some sort then the script should have a way to deal with it? | 18:41 |
| inetpro | definitely | 18:42 |
| magespawn | so for somebody like me i would leave that out, because i still learning and it would help to see the errors | 18:42 |
| inetpro | uh | 18:43 |
| inetpro | magespawn: cron jobs don't run in interactive mode | 18:44 |
| magespawn | i see, but if i set one up and it fails because of something i have done, or did not take into account etc, i would like to know without having to go back and check | 18:46 |
| magespawn | that seems like a very useful tool | 18:47 |
| magespawn | Kilos: this might be easier to read than the man pages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron | 18:49 |
| Kilos | nono man no place for anything else | 18:49 |
| Kilos | one thing at a time and one step at a time | 18:50 |
| magespawn | indeed, store it for reference later then | 18:50 |
| Kilos | lol ty | 18:50 |
| Kilos | saved | 18:51 |
| magespawn | Kilos how good is that machine that you use there? | 18:56 |
| magespawn | harddrive, ran, processor? | 18:56 |
| magespawn | inetpro: so batch then would be a folder where you store the scripts that you would like cron to run? | 19:02 |
| magespawn | hmm if i understand this correctly you can also have cron pass data to the command that you have cron execute | 19:06 |
| Kilos | mine here is lekker magespawn | 19:07 |
| Kilos | 1tb drive 4g ddr3 | 19:07 |
| Kilos | only 3g dual core though | 19:07 |
| magespawn | have you read anything about virtual machines? | 19:07 |
| Kilos | not much but i tried virtualbox here once, was kinda slow | 19:08 |
| Kilos | but ran 7 and kde | 19:09 |
| Kilos | had probs making it work with 3g though | 19:09 |
| Kilos | now got 4g so must be more hassles | 19:09 |
| magespawn | i was just thinking you could set up a virtual machine or three, so you could try commands out to see their effects before doing them on your live machine | 19:10 |
| Kilos | this system is rock solid magespawn | 19:10 |
| Kilos | the only thing im battling with is bzr | 19:11 |
| Kilos | i got another pc with kde on where i can test unknown commands | 19:15 |
| magespawn | i really like the idea | 19:17 |
| magespawn | you could run a LAMP server virtually for looking at websites that you make, which would also allow you to get experience with web servers | 19:18 |
| mazal | Night everyone | 19:21 |
| magespawn | good night mazal | 19:22 |
| Kilos | i go bath now wb | 19:32 |
| Kilos | wbb too | 19:32 |
| magespawn | hmmm really so much to learn and so little time | 19:33 |
| Kilos | yip | 19:33 |
| inetpro | magespawn: the /batch folder is just my choice to keep my own scripts in one place | 19:34 |
| magespawn | inetpro: makes sense though | 19:35 |
| magespawn | i like things to make sense, then other people can also understand what you have done | 19:35 |
| inetpro | magespawn: if you want to learn about serious scripting see: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 19:36 |
| superfly | *grumble* *grumble* *grumble* | 19:36 |
| inetpro | magespawn: oh but don't tell the fly about it | 19:37 |
| inetpro | rather do it using python :-) | 19:37 |
| superfly | magespawn: if you like things to make sense, use Python, it's WAY more readable than anything else out there | 19:38 |
| inetpro | perl ftw! | 19:38 |
| superfly | inetpro: I converted StickyNotes to use PostgreSQL... hopefully no more timeouts | 19:40 |
| inetpro | superfly: ah, that's good news | 19:40 |
| inetpro | was hoping that I wouldn't have to reverse back to slexy | 19:41 |
