| <adhoc> hack | |
| <adhoc> cough | |
| <Rothbuntu> ahhh indeed | |
| <adhoc> hmmm ... | |
| <rob> o.O | |
| * adhoc needs a shower after all that grinding | |
| <Tatey> what's the Australian Linux channel on this server? | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: hiya | |
| <adhoc> Tatey: linux-aus | |
| <adhoc> hi merlin-linux | |
| <Tatey> that's right, cheers | |
| <adhoc> Tatey: no problems ;) | |
| * Rothbuntu shakes fist and wireless gods " DAMN YOU TO HELL " | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: welcome to proprietry vendor hell | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: what chipset ? | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: this is why hardware needs to be open source ... | |
| <Rothbuntu> intel 3945 | |
| <merlin-linux> my ipw3945abg works great | |
| <Rothbuntu> nome network manager cant find any adaptors | |
| <adhoc> is that a binary blob firmware jobie? | |
| <Rothbuntu> it worked awsome till i restarted | |
| <merlin-linux> i just need to install lrm iirc under edgy to get wifi to work | |
| <hysterio> 20 lcd's are awesome... | |
| <hysterio> 20" even | |
| <Rothbuntu> sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic and sudo apt-get install gnome-network-manager is all i did but gnm has died | |
| <merlin-linux> oh | |
| <merlin-linux> Rothbuntu: try sudo modprobe ipw3945 | |
| <merlin-linux> Rothbuntu: you have an acer laptop right | |
| <Rothbuntu> nothing | |
| <Rothbuntu> it shows up in lspci | |
| <merlin-linux> Rothbuntu: you have an acer laptop right | |
| <Rothbuntu> yeah | |
| <Rothbuntu> 5672WLMi | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: i have had mixed results with Network Manager | |
| <merlin-linux> have you got a switch at the from of the laptop to turn your wireless on / off | |
| <merlin-linux> is that switch flashing | |
| <Rothbuntu> yar its on and the light is flashing very fast | |
| <merlin-linux> it trying to connect to something | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: yeah have you enabled the wireless interface in that "System -> admin -> networking" menu ? | |
| <Rothbuntu> yep | |
| <adhoc> i found that unless i enabled it, nothing happened | |
| <adhoc> even if i set it all up from the CLI | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: my wireless is not enabled that way | |
| <adhoc> this is why GUIs suck | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: my wireless just working | |
| <adhoc> pffffffft | |
| <Rothbuntu> its got me quite lost :S and none seems to have a proper solution | |
| <adhoc> wich mine did | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: i was chasing my tail for a coupla months | |
| <adhoc> i installed NetworkManager and it was better | |
| <adhoc> still fails completely some days | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: but i do have other networking probs tho | |
| <adhoc> needs reboot | |
| <Rothbuntu> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-257585.html <--- | |
| <adhoc> and another | |
| <adhoc> and another | |
| <merlin-linux> like gnm does not show my wired option | |
| <Rothbuntu> gnm show nothing but yet here i am O_o | |
| * merlin-linux things gnm sucks | |
| <Rothbuntu> yes im getting that feeling my self | |
| <merlin-linux> cause i have to manually swap networks atm between wired and wireless | |
| <siccness> Does anyone know a linux application that can read MS Powerpoint files? | |
| <hysterio> ooimpress? | |
| <siccness> other than that | |
| <Fujitsu> That's about it, siccness. | |
| <siccness> Damn it | |
| <Rothbuntu> write ur own :D | |
| <siccness> Looks like I might have to find an online one | |
| <hysterio> pphtml | |
| <hysterio> ppthtml | |
| <siccness> non-existant | |
| <hysterio> siccness: never tried it, result from an apt-cache search.. | |
| <siccness> me looks | |
| <hysterio> it appears to convert them to html files | |
| <Rothbuntu> =-O | |
| <siccness> The ppthtml program will take a PowerPoint 97/95 file as input and convert it to html. The output is via standard out so it can be re-directed to files or piped to filters or used as a gateway to the internet. | |
| <siccness> I wonder if 2000+ files work on it, hmm | |
| <siccness> xlhtml might be a better option | |
| <Rothbuntu> FIXED | |
| <Rothbuntu> im using teh wiredlesness intornetz | |
| * merlin-linux sticks on a patch | |
| <Rothbuntu> ahhhh 1 less blue cable to fall over :-D | |
| <Rothbuntu> now for my next whinge | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: whinges get you a poke in the ribs | |
| <adhoc> questions often get answered ... ;) | |
| * adhoc slurps noisily on hot coffee | |
| <Rothbuntu> i has a iced coffee | |
| * siccness listens to ABBA | |
| * adhoc has a large sppon ful of honey and real coffee =D | |
| <Rothbuntu> good lord | |
| * adhoc bounces | |
| <siccness> the winnnnner takes it alllllll | |
| * adhoc puts on tubular bells | |
| <Rothbuntu> NERO inpacket is an EVIL application | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: use mkisofs and cdrecord | |
| <Rothbuntu> took me an hour last night to walk and old guy through uninstalling it | |
| <Rothbuntu> had to go in to msconfig and all | |
| <siccness> Heh | |
| <Rothbuntu> but in the end he could play his abba cd in media centre so he was happy | |
| <siccness> I needed to install Nero Burning ROM yesterday, i went to download it to find out that it has gone from a 20MB file to a 150MB file | |
| * adhoc puts on his caring face for Rothbuntu | |
| <siccness> Seriously, 150MB for a cd/dvd writing application. | |
| <Rothbuntu> nero 6.6.0.15 for the win | |
| <siccness> What the hell is in it? Giant 40MB .bmp image files | |
| <Rothbuntu> yes actually | |
| <adhoc> shirely you can't be serious! | |
| <Rothbuntu> lol thears a few big pics in it | |
| <siccness> tsk tsk, pathetic really. | |
| <purserj> k3b ftw here | |
| <merlin-linux> gnomebaker here | |
| <adhoc> meh | |
| <siccness> all fancy gooeys. | |
| <Rothbuntu> whats the cd/dvd creater thats in by default | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: it better than nautilus cd creator | |
| <Rothbuntu> ahh yep that one | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux: heh | |
| <Rothbuntu> my sound is verry low but volume it at %100 | |
| <siccness> checked both master and pcm? | |
| <Rothbuntu> yerp the device is set to auto detect should i set it to alsa | |
| <Rothbuntu> hold up | |
| <Rothbuntu> whinge whinge | |
| <Rothbuntu> fixed O:-) | |
| <Rothbuntu> 2 for 2 so far today | |
| <purserj> w00t less than 12 hours before daylight savings kicks in in WA and still no patch | |
| <adhoc> any one watch my stuff on youtoob? | |
| <siccness> purserj: i'd say you're best to modify it yrousel | |
| <adhoc> purserj: huh? they not in daylight savings yet? | |
| <siccness> *yourself | |
| <siccness> adhoc: 3rd dece | |
| <adhoc> huh, imagine that | |
| <purserj> siccness: thats not the point though. ubuntu devels are fond of saying "Don't modify it yourself, use the repos and only official ones at that" | |
| <adhoc> purserj: makes support easier | |
| <adhoc> purserj: very proprietry model tho =/ | |
| <siccness> Has anyone actually requested the W.A patch? or are the devs unaware of this? | |
| <purserj> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/72125 | |
| <purserj> Thats the bug report | |
| <purserj> adhoc: yeah | |
| <purserj> I've had arguments about it before (no ld.so.conf by default, don't use /usr/local etc etc) | |
| <Rothbuntu> ok you lazy sods im off to work catch youse later | |
| <siccness> Bahahaha | |
| <purserj> lazy? Right now I'm hassling ubuntu, trying to track a bug in LA's member management system amongst other things | |
| <siccness> Importance: HIGH, can't really be that high if nothing has been done :| | |
| * adhoc slaps Rothbuntu | |
| <Rothbuntu> i dont know what that is but good luck | |
| <adhoc> hey we work like slaves all week! | |
| <purserj> Linux Australia (http://www.linux.org.au) | |
| <Rothbuntu> i work for $15 an hour | |
| <purserj> They only assigned it to someone yesterday | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: you get payed like slaves =( | |
| <Rothbuntu> yeah but we get whipped for free | |
| <Rothbuntu> OHYEAH | |
| <adhoc> Rothbuntu: eewwww | |
| <Rothbuntu> hahh catch yas | |
| * adhoc looks at the crunchy bits on the bottom of the coffee cup ... BRB | |
| <purserj> hmm coffeee might help me track this bug | |
| * purserj rocks out to the PUSA - Turning Japanese! | |
| <Fujitsu> Note that mdz assigned that bug to pitti two days ago, so it will likely happen in the very near future. | |
| <purserj> Well before it happens would be nice | |
| <Fujitsu> Of course. | |
| * Fujitsu kicks the WA government a lot. | |
| <Fujitsu> It was nice of them to give 2 weeks notice. | |
| * Fujitsu looks for the equivalent Microsoft patch. | |
| <purserj> heh, thats a whole other bitch | |
| <Fujitsu> Aha, there it is. | |
| <purserj> You might be better off comparing against other distro's. Gentoo already has one | |
| <Fujitsu> Yeah... | |
| <Fujitsu> I'm really not sure how this update will be managed... It doesn't come under any of the categories for SRUs... | |
| <purserj> SRU? | |
| <Fujitsu> Stable Release Update. | |
| <purserj> It should be handled the same way the Commonwealth Games update was done | |
| <purserj> hmm now that I remember the issues with that one, perhaps it should be handled "better" than that | |
| <adhoc> yeah that sucked big time | |
| * purserj remembers running around doing manual updates on linux servers | |
| <adhoc> you know the estimated cost to roll out the commonwealth games extra daylight savings time in SA along was 2.5 million $ in over time and down time! | |
| <Fujitsu> That was a bit too close for comfort, that update. | |
| <adhoc> there was a report came out in july i think | |
| <purserj> well we had a bunch of RH8 servers around the country that needed updating | |
| <Fujitsu> purserj: Ouch. | |
| <adhoc> and they were going to get the Vic gov to pay it ;) | |
| <purserj> adhoc: heh good luck | |
| <purserj> Fujitsu: yeah | |
| <purserj> that was our sales reporting system | |
| <adhoc> purserj: it didn't happen | |
| <adhoc> but they are now more aware of these kinda problems... | |
| <purserj> Basically a bunch of Database servers plugged into an excel spreadsheet | |
| <adhoc> so why the change in WA now ? | |
| <Fujitsu> As it is the weekend at the moment, the chances of getting the update in before Sunday are ~0 | |
| <purserj> Cos they want to be the same as everyone else? | |
| <adhoc> oh joy | |
| <Fujitsu> adhoc: Because the WA government is a bunch of useless, inconsiderate people? | |
| <adhoc> anyhow, | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: hehehe | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: this seems to be a national trend ;) | |
| <Fujitsu> Apparently. | |
| <adhoc> anyhow, anyone know where i can download free to use sound samples? | |
| <Fujitsu> I don't like it how governments can shift time around arbitrarily. | |
| <purserj> and consider this, the various govts may be useless, but the oppositions are even more useless | |
| <adhoc> i finally got sound working properly on my dekstop | |
| <Fujitsu> (especially after 3? referendums in WA rejected it) | |
| <purserj> adhoc: check out creativecommons.org | |
| <adhoc> purserj: ta | |
| <purserj> They should have links to various CC sound archives | |
| <adhoc> i'd like to make some music + noise for LCA | |
| <adhoc> not sure what for yet | |
| <purserj> ah, you heard about FOMS? | |
| <adhoc> but i'd like to figure out how to sequence stuff up | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: thx for the ubuntu thread that you posted b4, it helped me fix my prob with /etc/network/interfaces file | |
| <adhoc> purserj: maybe, but not really | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: now my gnm is back to working properly | |
| <adhoc> purserj: wassat? | |
| <adhoc> is that a package? | |
| <purserj> Its a conf being held just before LCA | |
| <purserj> Hold on let me find the info | |
| <adhoc> purserj: ah ok =)_ | |
| * adhoc waits for paint to dry on diassembled bicycle | |
| <purserj> http://annodex.org/events/foms2007/ | |
| <adhoc> hmmm depends on our flights | |
| <siccness> proj management would easily have to be the most boring-est subject of all time/ | |
| <adhoc> uh huh | |
| <pschulz01> Hi everyone.. | |
| <hysterio> hey pshulz01 | |
| * pschulz01 wonders where hysterio hails from? | |
| <pschulz01> hysterio: Hi there :-) | |

| <siccness> england's gonna have to start doing something | |
| <_greenie> um... does anyone know where i can get sound drivers for ubuntu for an ASUS laptop? | |
| <pschulz01> siccness: Looks like it didn't miss a whole lot then.. | |
| <pschulz01> _greenie: Are you having problems? | |
| <_greenie> yup | |
| <siccness> pschulz01: yah, you've essentially missed nothing but maiden overs. | |
| <pschulz01> _greenie: What does the command 'lspci' tell you? | |
| <pschulz01> _greenie: also.. try the 'hwdb-gui' command.. this will let you test your hardware. | |
| <pschulz01> _greenie: Still there? | |
| <pschulz01> hehe.. greenie found a workaround that required a reboot. | |

| <Tatey> fella's | |
| <adhoc> hey Tatey | |
| *** prae is now known as praetorian | |
| <merlin-linux> wtf why is my 100MiB lan connection slower to accessing the internet than my 54MiB WiFi connection to the internet | |
| <merlin-linux> over wifi i get ~2Mbps connection to nodes mirror and on my lan i get ~1.4Mbps from nodes mirror | |
| <ThePizzaKing> Maybe the system's doing it on purpose so you'll ask that question | |
| * merlin-linux wonder if i have a bottle neck somewhere that slowing lings down on the lan side | |
| <merlin-linux> s/lings/things | |
| <siccness> Wow, there's actually nothing on TV | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: drink heaps of beer and pass out | |
| <merlin-linux> you'll be right | |
| <merlin-linux> lmao | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux: of course. | |
| <siccness> Just cracked open a tooheys extra dry platinum 6.5% 345ml | |
| <merlin-linux> kewl | |
| <siccness> Lined up your set of coopers? :) | |
| <merlin-linux> i am trying to work out why my lan connection is slower than my wifi connection | |
| <siccness> Nah, night time is beer time. Not network administrating | |
| <siccness> Is it set to 100Mbit? or 10Mbit? | |
| <merlin-linux> and i have cleaned up my cable mess | |
| <merlin-linux> 100MiB | |
| <merlin-linux> it 10MiB down to the other end the house tho, but i not on that connection | |
| <siccness> Where's the 10MBit restriction at? | |
| * merlin-linux is on the 100MiB switch and the 54MiB wifi | |
| <merlin-linux> the 10MiB switch hangs off my 100MiB switch | |
| <siccness> So you're telling me that your wi-fi is more efficient than your 100MiB switch? Hahaha | |
| <siccness> It's supposed to be the other way around :P | |
| <merlin-linux> yeah i know | |
| <merlin-linux> well it not the problem of the 10MiB hub connected to my 100MiB switch | |
| <siccness> see, as a network engineer i should know how to fix this :P | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| * merlin-linux got a beer | |
| <siccness> I should probably be studying, :| | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: you got sunday for that | |
| <merlin-linux> good excuse not to go to church | |
| <Hit3k> ack | |
| <Hit3k> I lost my sheet with all my physics equations | |
| <merlin-linux> eep | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux: haha, church is a big no in my books. | |
| <siccness> and secondly, yes, i have sunday to study | |
| <siccness> but the fact is, it's about 50 power point slides i have to memorise | |
| <siccness> and i can't even remember what i had for dinner 30mins ago | |
| <merlin-linux> lol | |
| <merlin-linux> ah stuffit i give up this speed problem on the lan side | |
| <merlin-linux> i mostly on the wifi side | |
| <siccness> Heh, ask me again once i've finished my course. :P | |
| <merlin-linux> lol | |
| <siccness> if I can't answer it | |
| <siccness> than I simply don't deserve a job :P | |
| <siccness> You guys shoulda seen how excited my Linux teacher was when I brought in my machine the other day. "No Windows? Oh you top student!" (missing words because he's english isnt great) | |
| <merlin-linux> well one good thing came out of it all atm is i have tidied up the wired cabling | |
| <siccness> ^I should do that with this box. | |
| <siccness> I have 10 cables comin out the back of my box, all mingle/mangled together | |
| <siccness> my mouse has to be horizontal for me to reach the top of my screen | |
| <merlin-linux> i just talking about eth cabling | |
| <merlin-linux> that all i tidied up the rest still a mess | |
| <siccness> Hahaha | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Hi. | |

| <merlin-linux> lol | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I've seen that before :P | |
| <siccness> ive seen that before too. but i didnt realise someone would consider it a mess hence the reason why I asked to see it :P | |
| <quail> here a damn small laptop >>> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/IMG_0261.JPG | |

| * noiesmo here's a quick beryl demo I just uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3KTzijxt28 | |
| <Rothbuntu> AHHHHHHH what a day | |
| <siccness> Yup, what a day mate. | |
| * siccness sings "they had him backed up against the wall" | |
| <Rothbuntu> O_o | |
| <quail> here my current laptop setup >>> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/Screenshot02122006.png | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What would that 10" laptop cost? | |
| <siccness> is that lightening real? | |
| <merlin-linux> yes | |
| <siccness> send me the wallpaper in the biggest size there is | |
| <merlin-linux> Davo_Dinkum: it worth over 3K | |
| <siccness> thats a straight f'ing mad pic | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Damn. Pity there aren't many cheap *and* small laptops. | |
| <siccness> nevermind merlin-linux, found it :) | |
| <Rothbuntu> how does one remove totem | |
| <elkbuntu> is that one of the ones the size of a conventional birthday card? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Hey quail they're eating quail egg on SBS right now :) | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Is it possible to get a cable that lets you connect PCI cards to the motherboard, instead of plugging them straight into the motherboard? Like an extension cable. | |
| <siccness> Wah? | |
| <purserj> no | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Surely there must be such a thing. | |
| <siccness> No | |
| <siccness> Simply because it'd defeat the purpose of the PCI slots | |
| <purserj> ^^ | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Don't crush my dreams :( | |
| <Rothbuntu> make one out of old ide cables | |
| <siccness> Your dreams are shit, Davo_Dinkum :P | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Waaaaaaah! | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: And the purpose of PCI slots would be? | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: i can send you a few images | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux: nah it's all good | |
| <merlin-linux> from the same spot | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: to allow pci cards to connect to the motherboard | |
| <Rothbuntu> Extend a PCI Bus up to 12m Using Cat-5e Cable | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> They would still be connecting to the motherboard. | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: where are you going to mount a PCI card? | |
| <siccness> or are you just going to let it hang in midair? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Parallel to the motherboard. In one of those slim cases. | |
| <siccness> and how is the motherboard going to deal with it? | |
| <siccness> it uses the PCI Bus | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> It just will. | |
| <quail> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/IMG_1106.JPG | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> That's why I need a PCI extension cable thingy. | |
| <quail> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/IMG_1120.JPG | |
| <quail> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/IMG_1124.JPG | |
| <purserj> Davo_Dinkum: AFAIK there isn't an extension for PCI | |
| <quail> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/IMG_1143.JPG | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: Have you run out of PCI sltos? | |
| <siccness> *slots? | |
| <quail> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/IMG_1145.JPG | |
| <Rothbuntu> http://www.elecdir.com/press_release/store/106/index.html | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: No. | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: the southernvaleslug.org links are for you | |
| <siccness> I saw :) | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux: there all on google image ;) | |
| <merlin-linux> kewl | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Rothbuntu: I don't need to extend it that far, just enough to turn the card 90 degrees so it is parallel with the mobo. | |
| <siccness> :| | |
| <merlin-linux> well that my image sharing for the night | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <siccness> The conversation was killed by Davo_Dinkum. | |
| <siccness> I say we hang him :) | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> How did I kill it? | |
| <merlin-linux> ask siccness | |
| <siccness> or, dont ask siccness :) | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux: so, i need to work out how the hell im gonna get to south australia | |
| <merlin-linux> bus | |
| <merlin-linux> train | |
| * siccness hits merlin-linux | |
| <merlin-linux> automobile | |
| <siccness> i meant money wise | |
| <merlin-linux> rob a bank | |
| <siccness> done | |
| <merlin-linux> lol | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Do some busking. They make a heap of money. | |
| <siccness> I have no talent for busking | |
| <siccness> "here, watch me type my name on a keyboard in under 2 seconds | |
| <adhoc> buskers do make quite reasonable money ... | |
| <siccness> " | |
| <merlin-linux> Davo_Dinkum: talking from experience | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL no. | |
| <DarkMageZ> elkbuntu, are you busy atm? | |
| <adhoc> good ones get CDs made and sell them too | |
| <siccness> adhoc: there's one near my joint who has a $500,000 house | |
| <elkbuntu> DarkMageZ, not really, why? | |
| <siccness> (warrandyte) | |
| <adhoc> there is a guys that has been in town recently with a funkee mandolin | |
| <adhoc> called lindsay buckland =) | |
| <siccness> although $500,000 is a massive estimate | |
| <adhoc> he does cools stuff and i say him sell 20 CDs in 10 minutes | |
| <DarkMageZ> elkbuntu, i'm working on an article about Ubuntu and it needs some serious reviewing before I launch it | |
| <elkbuntu> DarkMageZ, you know my email address? | |
| <siccness> dcc it | |
| <siccness> that's the way to do things | |
| <DarkMageZ> elkbuntu, i was just going to post you the link | |
| <elkbuntu> that works too | |
| <elkbuntu> PM if you wish | |
| <siccness> you know what'd be cool, if we had a weekly linux quiz | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, #ubuntu-trivia ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> or were you thinking more local? | |
| <siccness> latter, yeah | |
| <siccness> im not a fan of the foreigners. | |
| <siccness> (joke of course) | |
| <siccness> but, a local one would in here would help the channel out i believe | |
| <adhoc> siccness: especially those strange VB drinking type ones ... | |
| <siccness> Yeah, those damn coopers bastards | |
| <adhoc> =PO | |
| <siccness> :P | |
| *** Hobbsee_ is now known as Hobbsee | |
| <siccness> I just think having some-form of trivia would make the place more exciting, elkbuntu | |
| <siccness> (remember the nite of the music quiz, 4hrs of fun) | |
| <elkbuntu> lol | |
| <siccness> this is 4hrs of me with me and quail doing a monologue | |
| <siccness> minus one of the me's | |
| <elkbuntu> hardly. we already knew you had mpd | |
| <siccness> you cant make acronyms up dear | |
| <elkbuntu> Multiple Personality Disorder | |
| <elkbuntu> not made up, dear | |
| <siccness> yes but it's after 5pm, anything that i dont understand is made up. | |
| <elkbuntu> you wish | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: wtf | |
| <siccness> ;-) | |
| <elkbuntu> merlin-linux, he's picking fights to be entertaining. isnt it obvious ;) | |
| <siccness> I'm not picking fights. I was merely showing that only merlin-linux and I talk :) | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser hugs randomly, might bbl | |
| <siccness> Hahaha | |
| <elkbuntu> i can see adhoc, Kamping_Kaiser and DarkMageZ in scrollback :Þ | |
| <siccness> of course you get Kamping_Kaiser and Fujitsu with their random comments ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> well yes. they have to serve some purpose | |
| <siccness> Heheh | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, if you want entertainment, try convince Fujitsu of the benefits of RPMs :) | |
| <DarkMageZ> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> even if you have to make stuff up | |
| <elkbuntu> he'll still bite :) | |
| <siccness> Of course, it's after 5pm | |
| <DarkMageZ> i think the lashback from that would be worse than the current state of my article | |
| <elkbuntu> DarkMageZ, and i'll get around to reading that as soon as siccness is finished being entertained by me | |
| <DarkMageZ> :P | |
| <siccness> Oh but you can't stop half-way through can you? :P | |
| <siccness> I've got 3hrs left before i crash to bed | |
| * elkbuntu puts DarkMageZ between herself and siccness and goes 'LOOK! NEW FRIEND!' and runs away | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <DarkMageZ> :P | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: just lettin you know i wont be here for monday's meeting | |
| <elkbuntu> ok, no probs. you can always comment when the summary hits the list | |
| *** Davo_Dinkum is now known as Davo_Dinkum_away | |
| <siccness> so someone else will have to prepare the topic 30mins prior to the meeting | |
| <siccness> :) | |
| <elkbuntu> lol | |
| * merlin-linux things he might watch disk 4 of season 1 of scrubs | |
| <siccness> mad show | |
| <merlin-linux> yeah well there nothing else on tv | |
| <merlin-linux> so i may as well thrash the dvd player again | |
| <siccness> Heheh | |
| <siccness> Dr Cox is my hero | |
| *** WikiMan is now known as MatthewV | |
| <adhoc> those medical response serials are such a drag ... | |
| <adhoc> i mean M*A*S*H was the pinicle ... | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: mash was great | |
| <siccness> mash sucked | |
| <adhoc> i never said it was good, just it was the pinicle and its been all downhill since then | |
| * merlin-linux slaps siccness for the profanity | |
| <adhoc> it was ok | |
| <adhoc> i'm not sure which characters worked for me, but the dynamic was good | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: you like the X-Files | |
| <purserj> siccness: you have no taste | |
| <purserj> MASH was classic | |
| <siccness> Nah, MASH was shit | |
| <adhoc> merlin-linux: i did in the begining but the story petered out... | |
| <adhoc> MASH went on for 11 years | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: i have to agree with you there | |
| <siccness> 11 years of nothing, really. | |
| <siccness> It had a few good laughs here and there | |
| * merlin-linux slaps siccness for the profanity | |
| <siccness> but by no means would I consider it "classic" | |
| <adhoc> siccness: perhaps you are too young to appreciate the "era" | |
| <siccness> Possibly so. | |
| <adhoc> siccness: those were strange times | |
| <adhoc> rampant pro-war and anti-war stuff | |
| <siccness> Oh I'm quite aware of that, obviously not being able to experiece the years puts me in for a disadvantage to understand the show. | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: and you had to make the best of a bad situation the best you could | |
| <adhoc> siccness: consider it what we would call today a "black comedy" | |
| <adhoc> any how | |
| <adhoc> is there anything on tele worth watching now'a'days? | |
| <siccness> Shit no. | |
| <siccness> Not a damn thing. | |
| <adhoc> ok | |
| <siccness> Television today is basically a game-show in your mind. | |
| <merlin-linux> adhoc: what siccness just said | |
| <siccness> You will never win. | |
| * Hobbsee wonders if anyone's in adelaide this week | |
| <adhoc> so cheap DVD shelf in kmart looks like the go then huh ? | |
| <siccness> Nope. | |
| <adhoc> Hobbsee: all week ;) | |
| <merlin-linux> someone send me a ciggie please | |
| <siccness> <--got a deck here | |
| <adhoc> siccness: big-w | |

| <purserj> Yeah, why don't they put "Porridge" or "Open All Hours" on | |

| <purserj> Are You Being Served | |
| <siccness> Yup | |
| <siccness> that's the one | |
| <purserj> Well on the plus side they have the Benny Hill Show | |

| <adhoc> Hobbsee: there are more too, but not regulats | |
| <siccness> whooooaaaaa, we're halfway there, whoooooaa | |
| <adhoc> purserj: of? | |
| <purserj> of 1999 | |
| <Hobbsee> adhoc: ahh | |
| <purserj> Space 1999 | |

| <purserj> oh dear | |
| * MotherLUG is showing her age now :D | |

| <adhoc> MotherLUG: you see the moonlanding "live" | |
| <cps> it's thunderbirds but with real people | |
| <purserj> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_1999 | |
| <purserj> cps: exactly considering the same people made Space 1999 as Thunderbirds | |
| <siccness> adhoc: you mean the stage with the moving flag? | |
| <purserj> no she didn't | |
| <adhoc> then shes not old ;) | |
| <purserj> she missed it by two years | |
| <adhoc> =) | |
| <siccness> What does everyone think of space exploration? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, plenty to go around | |
| <adhoc> siccness: which space? | |
| <siccness> sigh :) | |
| <siccness> Do you feel as if we're doing the right thing by spending billions of dollars heading to Mars and back? | |
| <cps> it's awe inspiring | |
| <adhoc> siccness: the space between your ears or between here and the moon or ... | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cps, yes, but not very practical | |
| <siccness> adhoc: well the former is clearly true. | |
| <siccness> but considering you're from south australia, i rest my case :P | |
| * siccness runs | |
| <cps> well those billions of dollars stimulate the development of all kinds of technologies | |
| <adhoc> siccness: theres plenty of problems to solve on earth before spreading the disease that is humanity into space | |
| <siccness> That's what i wanted to hear. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cps, yes, but tehy could also feed billions of people | |
| <cps> as if it would be spent on that though | |
| <adhoc> cps: but only for the benifit of large multinationals | |
| <cps> it's not like they are sitting there with billions in cash going: hmm, we could solve world hunger or... | |
| <adhoc> cps: there are plenty of useful things the could do useful research on | |
| <adhoc> cps: they could solve world hunger with a coupla billion | |
| <purserj> I think of Space Travel as building redundancy | |
| <adhoc> cps: but do they? | |
| <purserj> adhoc: they could solve world hunger right now | |
| <siccness> i think if we're going to spend a large mass of money on going to space, we might as well do it properly. Let's build a rocketship that goes almost as quick as speed as light and send them to explore other areas. | |
| <adhoc> purserj: thats a good idea, move all the americans to mars, closer to the sun | |
| <siccness> and then build me a car that goes just as quick | |
| <adhoc> and rocket assist it to get even closer | |
| <siccness> I want .0000000001 down the 400m | |
| <cps> well 40 years after the space race and the US takes out all the nobel prizes | |
| <purserj> Seriously we have the technology and capacity right now, without taking money out of space exploration t feed the world | |
| <siccness> yes but solving world hunger isn't a simple case of "here's x amount of money, buy some food" | |
| <adhoc> siccness: true | |
| <cps> I don't think the comparatively tiny amount of money spent on space exploration is what is holding back solutions to world hunger | |
| <purserj> siccness: nope it isn't its a matter of selling the food at prices third world countries can afford | |
| <siccness> world hunger is often caused by other issues | |
| <adhoc> cps: no thats whats called "imbalance of trade" | |
| <siccness> eg: retarded dictators | |
| <adhoc> siccness: americans | |
| <cps> actually handing out food is a really bad thing to do, because then the local farmers can't compete | |
| <purserj> adhoc: not always | |
| <purserj> americans do suck the big one | |
| <siccness> adhoc: Heh, im trying to keep it as polite as possible :P | |
| <purserj> in terms of foriegn policy | |
| <purserj> however you cannot blame americans for every tinpot dictator | |
| <siccness> personally, i'd like to see Australia deal with our issues first. Rather than spending money on other countries. | |
| <siccness> Selfish, sure, but I don't care. | |
| <adhoc> lets face it, america is the greediest lot and they have the money to get what they want | |
| <cps> we do live in the world though, you can't just bury your head in the sand | |
| <purserj> adhoc: just wait until china gets into full swing | |
| <adhoc> an if they don't get what they want they sned troops in and bomb the crap outa everything | |
| <purserj> Their middle class is already the size of the entire US population | |
| <siccness> Well I'm not entirely against the war. | |
| <adhoc> purserj: true | |
| <purserj> China scares me more than the US | |
| <purserj> At least the US can change direction every now and then | |
| <siccness> Middle-East scare me more. | |
| <siccness> Too many of them misinterpret their religion | |
| <purserj> Middle-East wouldn't be such an issue if we weren't so reliant on Oil | |
| <siccness> purserj: we don't really have that much of a choice tho | |
| <purserj> siccness: yes we do | |
| <purserj> we have the choice to develop the alternates to Oil | |
| <siccness> Sure, but that's not an overnight job. | |
| <purserj> Right now we are choosing to say "We've got tonnes of the stuff in the ground, lets use it all up before we do anything else" | |
| <adhoc> siccness: no thats a 3-5 year job | |
| <adhoc> that should have started in the 70's | |
| <purserj> Well it depends. | |
| <adhoc> purserj: cut the crap | |
| * merlin-linux is cooking some lamb chops | |
| <adhoc> if the gubmint mandates all cars to be electric by 2009 | |
| <adhoc> then the car manufactures have to do it | |
| <adhoc> then put in place very strict emmisions laws | |
| <adhoc> and all the unmaintained vehicles get unreaodworthied over the next 10 years | |
| <adhoc> change the licencing scheme | |
| <cps> but where does the electricity come from to run the cars? | |
| <adhoc> put in programs for replacing vehicles or upgrading engines | |
| *** Davo_Dinkum_away is now known as Davo_Dinkum | |
| <adhoc> cps: anything but coal or nuclear | |
| <adhoc> australia has massive reserves of natural gas | |
| <cps> so that means we have to replace all our coal power plants too | |
| <adhoc> but we export most of it to china | |
| <adhoc> cps: they are pretty much all due for replacement soon anyways | |
| <cps> yeah probably with nice new coal ones | |
| <adhoc> if the government had any backbone | |
| <adhoc> they could put is a massively clean policy | |
| <adhoc> and remove all dependance on middle east oil in under ten years | |
| <siccness> or just move to mars? :P | |
| * adhoc sends siccness to mars | |
| <siccness> You won't even get me close enough to an airport let alone a shuttle-joint. | |
| <cps> at least not with a bottle of water | |
| <purserj> adhoc: with regards to government mandate | |
| <purserj> of course | |
| <purserj> The problem is the government doesn't want to mandate it | |
| <MatthewV> adhoc, what's wrong with nuclear | |
| <MatthewV> ? | |
| <purserj> Nuclear involves large amounts of highly radioactive waste that no one wants | |
| <MatthewV> purserj, one nuclear plant producing an equiv amount of energy to a coal fired plant produces around 1/30000 the amount of waste | |
| <purserj> Right, so where do you put it? | |
| <MatthewV> underground? | |
| <MatthewV> send it to <insert dictator here> in a weapon ;) | |
| <purserj> No one wants it | |
| <MatthewV> and if viable fusion plants are produced, we'll have a utopian energy source ;) | |
| <purserj> there is no such thing as a wasteless energy source | |
| <siccness> C'mon baby MAKE IT HURT SO GOOD | |
| <cps> fusion still produces radioactive waste, but in much smaller quantities | |
| <pufuwozu> Who wants radioactive waste around for hundreds of thousands of years? | |
| <siccness> Doesn't bother me | |
| <MatthewV> cps, a viable fusion reactor will produce practically no nuclear waste | |
| <pufuwozu> Most likely humans would have died out but we'd still leave a horrible mess | |
| <cps> we just have to dig a really deep hole in the ground | |
| <pufuwozu> Oh that's the solution | |
| <MatthewV> Tritium + Deuterium --> Helium-5 + Energy! | |
| <siccness> cps: i got just the man for the job | |
| <siccness> Harry Stamper | |
| <cps> ha ha | |
| <cps> Bruce Willis saves the day again | |
| <siccness> Yup | |
| <siccness> My man Willis | |
| * MatthewV gets bored and goes to have a shower ;) | |
| <siccness> He's crazier than Sadam and that other dude that hasnt been caught yet put together | |
| <siccness> "yippie-kai-yay-*beep*" | |
| <merlin-linux> is siccness watch die hard | |
| <siccness> Of course. | |
| <siccness> Die Hard is clearly one of the best *modern* action films. | |
| <merlin-linux> i been cooking lamb chops | |
| <siccness> I'm not a fan. | |
| <siccness> Sure, I love lamp. But chops usually have the image of "little meat, lot of bone, expensive pricetag" | |
| <siccness> *lamb | |
| <merlin-linux> no | |
| <siccness> lol, you've convinced me merlin-linux :P | |
| <merlin-linux> ones i get always ways got lot of meat | |
| <adhoc> siccness: Die Hard was definitely one of the worst action movies, period. | |
| <merlin-linux> and yes there bone there too | |
| <cps> probably mutton | |
| <siccness> adhoc: you're clearly wrong. | |
| <purserj> Die Hard was Okay, Die Hard With A Vengeance was better | |
| <siccness> and no, you're not right. but actually wrong. | |
| <merlin-linux> cps: no it not mutton | |
| <siccness> :) | |
| <purserj> w00t subjective views taken as gospel | |
| <siccness> purserj: you're looking at them differently | |
| <adhoc> die hard with a just another washed up action heros in just anther remake of the same damn boring hollywood storyline | |
| <cps> but it had Bruce Willis | |
| <siccness> #3 = Action with more of a light-side to it | |
| <siccness> #1 = Action | |
| <siccness> #2 = Basically shit | |
| <purserj> siccness: without the light side, action is boring | |
| <purserj> This is something that Willis learnex | |
| <siccness> You could compare it somewhat to Kurosawa's trilogy | |
| <siccness> purserj: I disagree. The light side is good, yes, but what I want from an action film is action. Jokes are fine, but the jokes are to occuring than it becomes a light-side. | |
| <siccness> which then loses focus on the action itself | |
| <siccness> which often results in corny-1-liners. | |
| <adhoc> siccness: the whole era in film was corny one liners | |
| <adhoc> and short action heroes | |
| <siccness> The problem with film today is that everyone decides that a Hollywood blockbuster is what everyone wants. | |
| <siccness> They hasn't really been too much that has come out this year that has been worthwhile watching. | |
| <siccness> The last brilliant film I saw was in 2002, "Cidade de Deus" | |
| <cps> they do love making sequels | |
| <siccness> actualtests.com are stupid. You can download all their files without paying a cent. | |
| <siccness> maybe they should read some of their study guides to learn how to secure. | |
| <cps> they would but they were crushed under a ton of irony | |
| <siccness> Heh | |
| <cps> I think they need some web design training myself | |
| <siccness> Heh | |
| <siccness> I did score some nice tests of them :) | |
| <siccness> except the tests are in a relatively stupid manner where the answers are directly under the questions, so you accidently see them | |
| <cps> yeah that does sound a bit dumb | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Hey siccness what DDR ram you reckon I should get for my Socket 754 mobo? | |
| <adhoc> Davo_Dinkum: big fast ones ;) | |
| <siccness> DDR1, Davo_Dinkum | |
| <adhoc> DDR400 | |
| <adhoc> ? | |
| * merlin-linux had his lamb chops and now time for more beer | |
| <siccness> adhoc: Yeah, DDR400/PC3200 | |
| * adhoc currently has 5% in use by programs and 5% in use by cache ... | |
| <siccness> AMD Socket AM2 uses DDR2 | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: how the beer flowing | |
| <siccness> Too easily I think :) | |
| <merlin-linux> :-P | |
| <merlin-linux> i might have a real heart starter tomorrow for breakfast | |
| <siccness> snags, bacon, eggs :) | |
| <purserj> hmmmm | |
| <merlin-linux> bake beans, couple eggs, bacon and toast | |
| <siccness> bake beans are no good | |
| <merlin-linux> after the bake beans i will be able to fly to your place siccness | |
| <merlin-linux> lmao | |
| <siccness> haha | |
| <siccness> the eggs and bacon will probably be the "heart killer" | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Eggs have good cholestrol. | |
| <purserj> only if you have them meal in meal out | |
| <merlin-linux> i got no snags so that out the question | |
| <siccness> who has a house without snags? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Who in Melbourne has a Socket 754 motherboard they want to sell to me? | |
| <merlin-linux> forgot to get them on friday when went shopping | |
| <siccness> You can get Socket 754 anywhere | |
| <merlin-linux> well not forgot them, i didn't want to wait at the butches | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> you bunch of alcos - discussing drinks after the kids are in bed :P | |
| <elkbuntu> you're the one that started crying when i confiscated your alcohol. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> welll, its a mean thing to do | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: yea but you can't take alcohol away from someone | |
| * flaccid smokes a bjongolme | |
| <siccness> that's like me taking shoes away from a female | |
| <elkbuntu> you can take my shoes. they smell a little though | |
| <siccness> ill put em up on ebay | |
| <klepas> siccness meant make-up | |
| <siccness> i need to fund my next alcohol purchase | |
| <klepas> wait | |
| <klepas> s/make-up/money | |
| <klepas> :P | |
| <flaccid> go buy some crack | |
| <elkbuntu> flaccid, drugs are evil, mmkay | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> elkbuntu, coffee is a drug (well, cafine) | |
| <hantu> yeah drugs are evil! | |
| * hantu takes a sip of his coffee | |
| <klepas> caffeine is a drug | |
| <flaccid> lots of this world is evil | |
| <klepas> caffeine is not evil | |
| <flaccid> one could argue the majority | |
| <siccness> actually, 99.9% of the stuff we eat/drink have a drug in them | |
| <hantu> polonium? | |
| <flaccid> a drug is simply a chemical that alters the mind | |
| <hantu> or however you spell it. | |
| <hantu> :D | |
| <hantu> flaccid: women! | |
| * hantu ducks. | |
| <hantu> jk ^^ | |
| <siccness> Hahahahaha | |
| <siccness> Classic | |
| <flaccid> "my house is better than any alcohol or afrodesiac" | |
| <siccness> your house sucks | |
| <siccness> :P | |
| <flaccid> its quite nice actually | |
| <siccness> Single-story? | |
| <siccness> I hate double-story | |
| <siccness> Too hard to get up and down | |
| <elkbuntu> flaccid, a drug is anything that changes how cells behave | |
| <flaccid> double | |
| <flaccid> and ultmately the mind elk | |
| <siccness> if i have a double story, it'll be a ramp | |
| <elkbuntu> not necissarily | |
| <flaccid> i'd love to know a drug that alters the body and not the mind | |
| <flaccid> i don't know if its possibly | |
| <siccness> the mind doesn't exist | |
| <flaccid> sounds good to me | |
| <siccness> i can start throwin quotes left right and center from philosophers about their mind/body, but big sicc needs his sleep. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> mine doestn. to many slabs | |
| <siccness> G'night all! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> later mate | |
| <flaccid> i guess i'm watching rage | |
| <klepas> wish i could watch that right about now | |
| <flaccid> elvis costello on atm | |
| <flaccid> heh | |
| <flaccid> my wireless dialup is boostin | |
| <flaccid> heh | |
| <purserj> hmm a flash upgrade | |
| <purserj> I thought Flash 9 was still in Beta | |
| <purana> none of these alternate xubuntu and ubuntu 6.10 isos work with my sata onboard | |
| <purana> all fail to boot after install | |
| <purana> oh well | |
| <purana> that should be done work | |
| <purana> dont even | |
| <purana> grr | |
| <cafuego_> purserj: it is, but it seems to already work better then flash7 stable. | |
| <purserj> hmm, how much are wii's | |
| <cafuego_> me knoweth not | |
| * purserj has just watched the wii movie for Call Of Duty 3 | |
| * cafuego_ will make some wii for you and ship it over | |
| <purserj> nah I can make my own wii | |
| <adhoc> speaking of wii | |
| <adhoc> purserj: do you know if there is a version 2 of the gp2x ? | |
| <purserj> I'll have a look for you. Haven't heard anything from the guys who sent us the last one | |
| <adhoc> i'm sitting here thinking about the (second) review you did on it | |
| <purserj> heh the first one doth suck mightily | |
| <adhoc> i never got to hear it though | |
| <adhoc> so i'll say nawt | |
| <lucychili> who has prior art for wii | |
| <adhoc> lucychili: thats a fetish you want to give a wide birth ... | |
| <lucychili> i think thats berth blossom | |
| <lucychili> and youre right topic driopped | |
| * adhoc puts knife to unknown how cooked egg ... | |
| <adhoc> puuuuuuuuuuurfect | |
| <purserj> topic dripped? | |
| <adhoc> dropped | |
| <adhoc> wow, that was so tasty =) | |
| <lucychili> i was meaning copyright on wii surely has prior art | |
| <lucychili> anyway | |
| <lucychili> yep eggs were good | |
| <purserj> hmm how would you remotely control an X Session | |
| <lucychili> coffee with icecream and honey is mega sweet and yummy | |
| <lucychili> and my joomla is a borked beasty | |
| <adhoc> x2x | |
| <adhoc> or x2vnc, if you are feeling brave enough to 'posses' a doze box ;) | |
| <purserj> hmm I'll have a look x2x | |
| <adhoc> purserj: you need to setup the 'remote' box to accept X connections | |
| <adhoc> have a look at your gdm.conf | |
| <adhoc> and allow TCP connections... | |
| <adhoc> then you have to set xhost to allow connections from the incoming X host | |
| <adhoc> ie; MotherLUG@MotherLUG-dekstop$ xhost purserj-desktop | |
| <adhoc> once you've done that you might like to work on the environment variables ... | |
| <adhoc> export DISPLAY=MotherLUG-dekstop:0.0 | |
| <adhoc> aterm -fg white -bg yellow | |
| <adhoc> there is also a fullscreen option | |
| <adhoc> but i can't remember what it is... | |
| <adhoc> good for late night waking up of "remote users" | |
| <adhoc> not untraceable, but worth while | |
| <purserj> heh | |
| <purserj> right I think I've been looking at this the wrong way round. So the clients would be the "remote host" | |
| <adhoc> from purserj-desktop, you can x2x to a remote desktop, say, MotherLUG-dekstop | |
| <adhoc> from purserj-desktop, you can control the X input (keyboard+mouse) of MotherLUG-dekstop | |
| <purserj> hmm cool | |
| <adhoc> x2x -to MotherLUG-dekstop:0.0 -east | |
| <adhoc> purserj: so if you had two peecees you'd like to "control" | |
| <MotherLUG> adhoc, what are you teaching him to do to my desktop? | |
| <adhoc> the one on the left; x2x -to MotherLUG-dekstop:0.0 -west | |
| <adhoc> MotherLUG: purely using your nick as an example .... | |
| <MotherLUG> ahh good | |
| <adhoc> MotherLUG: um ... ease of maintenance ... | |
| <adhoc> erm .. | |
| <lucychili> heh | |
| <adhoc> purserj: so the peecee on the right; x2x -to spratski-dekstop:0.0 -east | |
| * lucychili suggests motherlug keeps sunglasses handy when logging on | |
| <adhoc> purserj: then you can load ballance your GUI across three peecees ;) | |
| <lucychili> adhoc is not blackhat but has been known to be outrageously yellowhat | |
| <MotherLUG> lucychili, might be a better idea to warn adhoc and purserj | |
| <lucychili> heh | |
| * adhoc runs away to make tea and biscuits | |
| * purserj needs to learn more about X | |
| * lucychili has a quiet talk to mlug about printerdialogues and desktop prefs | |
| <adhoc> oh yeah | |
| <adhoc> hey purserj do you have a networked laser printer? | |
| <adhoc> MotherLUG: do you need to tease the kids in more insteresting ways? | |
| <MotherLUG> sure | |
| <lucychili> imagine a printer | |
| <lucychili> which can respond with, have you asked whether you can use the colour printer | |
| <lucychili> etc | |
| <purserj> hmm | |
| <lucychili> basically any custom response in the printer active ready window | |
| <MotherLUG> ahh | |
| <adhoc> shall i tell 'em? | |
| <lucychili> i heard a rumor this was used in a psych dept of a uni with good effect | |
| <purserj> Someone installled Dr Sam on a printer? | |
| <adhoc> can i | |
| <adhoc> can i | |
| <adhoc> ? | |
| <lucychili> basicallu purserj yes | |
| <purserj> nasty | |
| <lucychili> the person printing was found hugging the printer | |
| <adhoc> ok, once upong a time | |
| <adhoc> there was a programmer/sysadmin | |
| <adhoc> in a uni far far away | |
| <lucychili> tertiary education is a brutal thing | |
| <adhoc> from the desk of the sysadmin, he could see through the window in door to the office | |
| <adhoc> into the postgrad room across the hallway | |
| <adhoc> times were good in this uni and masters students were plentiful | |
| <adhoc> there was a great variety in the types of students as one could imagine... | |
| <flaccid> if only lecturers at unis knew web standards | |
| <adhoc> anyhow, there were a couple of students that made our young sysadmin quite cross | |
| <adhoc> some made great claims on the time and resources of our young sysadmin | |
| <adhoc> so, in response to the unreasonable demands | |
| <adhoc> there was developed a tool to 'manage' the print queue of the laser printer | |
| <adhoc> across the hallway in the postgrad room | |
| <incon> western australia daylight saving patch ? | |
| <adhoc> one postgrad in particular was sneaking into the labs and making std calls on staff phones, etc | |
| <flaccid> which uni is this | |
| <adhoc> flaccid: an imaginary one | |
| <flaccid> oh sweet | |
| <flaccid> can i be in it? | |
| <adhoc> flaccid: is the moral of the story that matters | |
| <adhoc> flaccid: sure | |
| <flaccid> there is a moral? | |
| <adhoc> flaccid, there will be, let me finish | |
| <flaccid> ok im a degree coordinator then | |
| <flaccid> ok | |
| <adhoc> flaccid was a postgrad student | |
| <adhoc> that sat next to the laser printer in the postrad room | |
| <adhoc> flaccid did not put unreasonable demans on our young sysadmin | |
| <adhoc> flaccids print jobs came through without any 'delays' | |
| * purserj is reading between trying to figure out this x2x stuffs | |
| <adhoc> anyhow, a particular postgrad made an arse of himself one day and our young sysadmin put the print jobs on hold | |
| <adhoc> then would release one page at a tikme | |
| <adhoc> eventually the 200 page document came through | |
| <adhoc> in between a number of other jobs | |
| <adhoc> at some point in time, while our young sysadmin was coding up some java to interface to all the network printers on campus | |
| <adhoc> there was a function call discovered to change the LCD message on the front of the printers ... | |
| <purana> ubuntu installer doesn't seem to handle my sata drives well | |
| <purana> :( | |
| <adhoc> purserj: especially if you want to boot off one when there is a PATA drive inthere too =/ | |
| <adhoc> anyhow, said sysadmin, while coding up the new printer management tool, | |
| <adhoc> put together some new features | |
| <adhoc> print page and change LCD message | |
| <adhoc> "Ready" | |
| <adhoc> "leave me alone" | |
| <adhoc> "Ready", print | |
| <adhoc> so after a weeks testing | |
| <adhoc> the difficult student can back in to do some printing... | |
| <adhoc> so, "Ready", print(), pause() | |
| <adhoc> purserj: you still with me? | |
| <purserj> yup | |
| <adhoc> so over the next hour said difficult student receives one page at a time | |
| <adhoc> with the laser printers messages changing | |
| <adhoc> "leave me alone" | |
| <adhoc> "Are you done yet" | |
| <adhoc> "kill them all" | |
| <adhoc> etc | |
| <purserj> heh | |
| <adhoc> so, at which point our dipolar printer says | |
| <adhoc> "fondle me" | |
| <adhoc> the student looks around the room | |
| <adhoc> strokes the top of the printer | |
| <adhoc> print() | |
| <adhoc> "again" | |
| <adhoc> the student is nervous now | |
| <adhoc> touchs the lcd area | |
| <adhoc> print() | |
| <adhoc> anyhow, this goes on for about ten minutes, | |
| * purserj is enjoying hearing about justice | |
| <adhoc> the head of department walks in to find said difficult student with both arms around the printer singing to it, while its printing as fast as it can go ... | |
| <purserj> oh dear | |
| <purserj> :) | |
| <adhoc> luckily flaccid went for a coffee | |
| <adhoc> when all this was happening | |
| <adhoc> other wise it would have made for a strange site | |
| <adhoc> s/site/sight | |
| <adhoc> the difficult student never bothered our young sysadmin ever again. | |
| <adhoc> then end |
