| <siccness> Heheh, all the little kiddies get their VCE results today | |
| <pschulz01_> bimberi: ssmtp seems to work quite well :-) | |
| <pschulz01_> bimberi: Very simple config file. | |
| <bimberi> pschulz01_: great | |
| <ThePizzaKing> Interesting, if I refresh my Optusnet homepage the 'PM' at the end of the time in the Weather section changes between uppercase and lowercase | |
| <Hit3k> weird | |
| <siccness> exit | |
| <siccness> woops | |
| <pschulz01_> Greetings (again). Has anyone here changes timezones inside a crontab file.. does it work? (eg. TZ=UTC) | |
| <purserj> pschulz01_: what exactly are you looking at doing? | |
| <pschulz01_> purserj: I have a local timezone.. but I want to put the crontab entries in as UTC.. | |
| <purserj> just curious, but why? | |
| <pschulz01_> purserj: Mainly because I don't want the file to mbe dependent on the timezone settin gof the machine. | |
| <purserj> ah you trying to get round daylight savings futzery? | |
| <jfrench> Hello....jfrench's little brother here, he told me you people can help me installing stuff | |
| <pschulz01_> purserj: No.. but that would partially solve that problem as well.. | |
| <pschulz01_> I have to sync stuff with machines that are in other time zones. | |
| <pschulz01_> I just set up a test script in cron.. and it doen't look like it worked as I expected it to.. | |
| <pschulz01_> Oh well.. | |
| <ThePizzaKing> So jfrench's little brother is also called jfrench. Interesting | |
| <bimberi_> jfrench: sure, ask away | |
| <jfrench> Im on his computer, i dont have one | |
| *** jfrench is now known as dan | |
| *** dan is now known as danof | |
| <pschulz01_> Looks like I have to change the timezone of the machine. | |
| <pschulz01_> How do I do that? | |
| <pschulz01_> .. found it.. tzconfig.. y.. other.. GMT | |
| <praetorian> um | |
| <praetorian> to me, doing what you are doing, seems pointless | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: Yes.. except I don't want to specify crontab entries in local time :-) | |
| <praetorian> makes it no more sensible | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: I have machines in East Coast, West Coast and London times... | |
| <praetorian> and? | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: I need to coordinate file transfers. | |
| <praetorian> shrug.. | |
| <pschulz01_> having cron jobs in GMT makes everything more managable. | |
| <praetorian> obviously you know what you are doing .. but it seems a very silly and unbalanced system | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: Did I mention that I need to coordinate with other people? | |
| <praetorian> shrug | |
| <praetorian> is there a reason the files need to be copied between each other? | |
| *** bimberi_ is now known as bimberi | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: the B word. | |
| <praetorian> so if its just backup .. that doesnt need to be at a utc dependent time.. | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: OK.. it may be a little bit screwy, but that's what I have to do.. the backups need to be scheduled so that they don't interfer with other processes, which are set to times in UTC. | |
| <Hit3k> what the hell am i listening to | |
| <Hit3k> oh. techno | |
| <praetorian> macy gray | |
| <Hit3k> didnt she die of something | |
| <AlexC> elkbuntu: you are the best | |

| <AlexC> summit? | |
| <elkbuntu> developer summit | |
| <AlexC> ok | |
| <AlexC> can you burn parts of the dvd on cd as a repository? | |
| <AlexC> elkbuntu: what events are coming up? | |
| <elkbuntu> you should be able to find the .deb files in the pool (?) folder on the dvd | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, locally, none that i know of | |
| <AlexC> ok | |
| <AlexC> just invite me to any if they come up | |

| <elkbuntu> hi Davo_Dinkum | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> elkbuntu: Hey | |
| * elkbuntu goes on a search to find whoever crapped out the printer db for feisty | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> When is feisty coming out? | |
| <AlexC> yay, finished backing up files | |
| <AlexC> the upgrade comes closer | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, got all the debs in the cache? | |
| <AlexC> no, lol | |
| <AlexC> i'll look | |
| <elkbuntu> the big ones you should at least | |
| <SeyToN> how do i restart the network manager? | |
| <elkbuntu> SeyToN, not sure, try /etc/init.d/network-manager restart | |
| <Phlosten> Davo_Dinkum, april 07, hence the 7.04 | |
| <elkbuntu> with added sudo goodness | |
| <elkbuntu> oh sorry Davo_Dinkum, didnt see you ask | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> No probs | |
| <SeyToN> But that won't restart the nework-manager daemon AFIK | |
| <AlexC> where do i find cache | |
| <elkbuntu> well crap.. the computer expo around here started back up and i didnt know... it was on saturday :( | |
| <SeyToN> i got it | |
| <SeyToN> ALT-F2 then type: /usr/bin/nm-applet | |
| <AlexC> damn | |
| <AlexC> i like that place | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> elkbuntu: Expo? | |
| <purserj> Computer Fair I expect | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Of some description, yes. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: You here? | |
| <siccness> Mate im always here | |
| <siccness> How'd the VCE results go mate? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL yeah are you an op? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Looks like it. | |
| <siccness> Fujitsu: you can't run away either mate, how'd your results go? | |
| <siccness> Of course i'm an op, everyone loves me | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yeah I got the score I need for my course | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> So all's well | |
| <siccness> Good to hear mate. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Man some ppl have blurry IM dp's. | |
| <siccness> I hate DPs | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Why? Cos you're ugly? :D | |
| <siccness> Yup | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> lmao | |
| <siccness> but also because i tell girls im 25 when im actually not | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL how old are you? | |
| <siccness> 19 :P | |
| <siccness> and i was actually kidding, but OK :) | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> You're the best op I've ever met. | |
| <siccness> Easily | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I called this other op a tool and s/he kicked me. What a tightarse. | |
| <rastilin> Which op? | |
| * rob looks in | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Some op in #apple on orc.freenode.net | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> *irc.madchat.tv | |
| <rastilin> Ah. | |
| <rob> heh | |
| <rob> stay here, we are nice :D | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL yeah | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: You remind me of Ethan from CAD Comic. | |
| <rob> heh CAD rocks | |
| * rob gets stuck back into the wiki | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> CBV? | |
| <rob> huh? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Oops wrong window sorry | |
| <elkbuntu> Davo_Dinkum, computerevents.com.au | |
| <elkbuntu> next one around here is mid-feb | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> elkbuntu: Is that like www.comtrader.com.au ? | |
| <purserj> We have two operators running here | |
| <elkbuntu> Davo_Dinkum, um.. no | |
| <elkbuntu> oh, maybe | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Why not? comtrader has swap meets, but they are usually in Melbourne | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: comtrader events are shocking | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> They are? Why do you say that? | |
| <siccness> I hope this doesn't sound racist, as it's not intended to. But everyone at Comtrader events are asians that run businesses with no quality management whatseover. | |
| <siccness> eg: MSY and CPL | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, computerevents throw a few european accents in, but effectively the same | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Well, the majority of the sellers there are Asian, but I've never had problems with the stuff I've bought there. | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: that's not the issue. It's when you do have a problem with the gear. | |
| <siccness> Prepare to wait 2 months for a USB Stick to be replaced. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I always get a receipt, just in case. | |
| <siccness> It's a great place to go if you want cheap components, there's no doubt that about. | |
| <siccness> But if you want to purchase from a reliable business that won't treat you like a 5year old than they're not the place. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yeah you really have to know exactly what you're buying. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Which seller was that from? | |
| * Davo_Dinkum gets out "do not buy from" list | |
| <siccness> Well I don't like to mention names, but CPL and MSY would be two companies I refuse to visit. | |
| <ThePizzaKing> :o | |
| <ThePizzaKing> It's me: http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/agonising-delay-hits-vce-students/2006/12/11/1165685588606.html | |
| <siccness> Which one is you? | |
| <ThePizzaKing> The closest one | |
| <ThePizzaKing> In the black | |
| <siccness> Top work. | |
| <ThePizzaKing> Wait, we're all in black | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ThePizzaKing, i was going to say that | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> *grin* | |
| <siccness> Must be a ringwood thing | |
| <cps> lets have a funny caption contest for that picture | |
| <ThePizzaKing> hehehe | |
| <siccness> try and make yourselfs look as depressed as possible by using the least amount of colour | |
| <siccness> cps: no because I've already thought of one too many | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Holy crap there are girls there. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Like, doing IT courses. | |
| <siccness> No, they're all just trying to get their VCE results :P | |
| <ThePizzaKing> No, that's just the library | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Oh. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Back to reality | |
| <siccness> Who the hell goes back to school after completing VCE? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Of course telstra was to blame. | |
| <ThePizzaKing> The whole schools Internet was down so we just had an error page up | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <siccness> Who's the girl? | |
| <cps> and your phone didn't have any batteries | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Forget it siccness she's probably an Arts student :D | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Did the error page say "sorry you flunked"? | |
| <ThePizzaKing> It would have been funny | |
| <ThePizzaKing> I did write in Microsoft Word "RESULTS, RICHIE WINS!" to try and emulate the site | |
| <ThePizzaKing> (Richie managed 99.90) | |
| <siccness> Pretty piss poor effort really. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I'll be back in a while ppl.\ | |
| <ThePizzaKing> I know, what happened to the rest? | |
| <siccness> I don't understand though, they have issues with the server-load every damn year. | |
| <siccness> Do they not do anything about it? | |
| <ThePizzaKing> They probably have a good laugh hearing people complain every year | |
| <siccness> Yes, nothing funnier than hearing "WHY DO YOU PEOPLE SUCK, YOU SUCK THE BIG ONE, DIE" | |
| <SeyToN> hahahaha | |
| <Fujitsu> ThePizzaKing: That was DE&T's DNS server failing, I got a call at work today from the technician at school, he was going crazy. | |
| <Fujitsu> (yes, DNS server. Singular. They dictate that all schools in Victoria use that same one) | |
| <cps> sounds like they are asking for it | |
| <siccness> StickCricket time baby! | |
| <Fujitsu> Naturally, they didn't feel the need to tell anybody that it had broken, so technicians were running around trying to work out what the problem was, as the people at the DE&T helpdesk assured them that it wasn't at DE&T's end. | |
| <hysterio> lol | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> so fking typical | |
| <Fujitsu> Yep.l | |
| <Fujitsu> Thanks Telstra/DE&T. | |
| <hysterio> making life easier... | |
| <siccness> Hahah, 12th man is classic. "Piss off your out" "Tell your story walkin" | |
| <Xmas_Penguin> evening fellow geeks | |
| <hysterio> howdy | |
| <siccness> 'ello 'lo ;) | |
| * purserj looks at Tasmania | |
| <siccness> stick cricket ownz, current run rate: 30.0 :) | |
| * hysterio wonders why purserj is looking at tasmania | |
| <purserj> cos my parents have a place down there and Tasmania is copping the fires worse than Victoria at the moment | |
| <purserj> ABC just reported 20 houses on fire | |
| <hysterio> :( | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ;O:O | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> wtf? | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser worries | |
| * Fujitsu ignites Kamping_Kaiser. | |
| <purserj> Yeah, so I'm just looking to see whats happening | |
| <hysterio> understandably | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser is enflamed | |
| <siccness> 20 hours on fire :| | |
| <purserj> hmm, the fires seem to be a fair way away from Parattah | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> on the bright side, the fires cant spread to victoria from tas... oh wait... nm ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bloody sunday on jjj was talking about the vic fires, it was classic | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> somehow it came around to steve bracks snorting cocane of hookers... | |
| <siccness> thats easy to link: bush fires --> igniting --> igniting crack --> cocaine --> hookers <--steve bracks regular customer | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> heh | |
| <elkbuntu> jjj tehr r0x0r | |
| <siccness> what pathetic over-the-top inaccurate computer related film should i watch? Hackers, Hackers 2 or Anti-Trust? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, the code ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> elkbuntu, :) | |
| <siccness> nah | |
| <siccness> the code is ok | |
| <siccness> too much linus tho | |
| <siccness> and i dont wish to see RMS dancing again | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <cps> Wargames | |
| <siccness> Anti-trust is classic, at the start of the movie theres some source code shown.. | |
| <siccness> HTML source-code. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <cps> aren't the credits in HTML too | |
| <siccness> not sure | |
| <siccness> havent seen it in so long | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wondesr what the html is of | |
| <siccness> Kamping_Kaiser: i thought i saw the text "imdb" somewhere | |
| <siccness> but im not sure :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> o_0 | |
| <siccness> They use Linux in this movie | |
| <siccness> you can see "GNOME" mentioned in it | |
| <cps> Miguel de Icaza has a cameo | |
| <Lathiat> yeh | |
| <Lathiat> the little video of giving the guy an award is miguel | |
| <Lathiat> good movie | |
| <yama> yes, it's miguel receiving an award from Scott Mcnealy | |
| <yama> IIRC | |
| <yama> elkbuntu: JJJ was my favourite station before they started playing gansta rap. Now I'm more of a station surfer. | |
| <elkbuntu> heh | |
| <Hit3k> oh god Triple J plays gangsta rap now? | |
| <yama> yes, they sold out :( | |
| <Hit3k> Yo homie i b poppin caps in yo ass while bangin blondes shakin their booty ride in the back of my pimped out suv yo yo yeah yo yo | |
| <yama> rotfl! | |
| <Hit3k> sorry i do that every time theres gangsta rap mentioned | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> sounds like i only listen at the right times. i dont have to deal with that crap | |
| <yama> Hit3k: I'm the same :) | |
| <yama> they still play some very good stuff, but there's a lot more crap these days | |
| <siccness> Yeah, I cannot stand that shit. | |
| <Phlosten> yo yo | |
| <yama> yo whatup bitchez? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> gaaah. dont bring that shite in here! | |
| <yama> ok, I'll stop | |
| <siccness> Get outz of my dizhouze my izzle dizzle, yo checkz out muh pimp'd out caddilac g, 22 inch chromez boi, u cant handle da shizzle | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser /ignore's siccness | |
| <yama> lol, good stuff mofo | |
| <yama> but seriously, I don't hate rap or hip-hop. I just hate homies. There's quite a lot of good non-homie rap and hip-hop, but it isn't commercialised much | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yama, lack of commercialisation is a feature | |
| <yama> indeed it is | |
| <Hit3k> a good feature or a bad feature? | |
| <yama> but it means it isn't publicised, so people don't hear it | |
| <Hit3k> so a gray area feature | |
| <yama> What do you call a cross between a bug and a feature? A buture? | |
| <yama> A feag? | |
| <elkbuntu> a PITA | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yama, borg? :) | |
| <yama> :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <vups> hi guys | |
| <rastilin> Question: Anyone here used openvpn before? | |
| <AlexC> elkbuntu: kernal went into panic | |
| <AlexC> elkbuntu: live cd wouldn't load | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hi vups | |
| <AlexC> elkbuntu: awaken | |
| * vups pokes Kamping_Kaiser with a stick | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Boing! | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser explodes | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Don't we all. | |
| * AlexC is amazed at sound made by Davo_Dinkum | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Thank you. It took a lot of effort. | |
| * AlexC thinks it was a masterpiece | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Looks like the conversation died in here. You guys need me, don't you? | |
| <siccness> Nah, they need me. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser chases siccness | |
| * AlexC also explodes | |
| * Hit3k steals AlexCs computer | |
| <siccness> You can't catch me Kamping_Kaiser. I'm too sexy. | |
| * AlexC eats Hit3k 's family | |
| <AlexC> twice | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Dear exploding people: Stop smoking when filling up your petrol tank! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, too sexy? for me? i think not | |
| <siccness> I think so. Let's look at this from another perspective. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> AlexC: Does that mean you ate your own crap? | |
| <AlexC> no | |
| * AlexC regurgitates! | |
| <siccness> The ladies love me because I have a gigantic, unbelievably sized beer gut. You? You have no beer gut. | |
| * AlexC has wings | |
| <siccness> Now put this into such a context | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Oh, a beer gut. I thought you were going to say something else. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> no beer gut? now hold on! its quite likely not as classy as yours, but its there non the less | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser did as well | |
| <siccness> Love your style mate ;) | |
| * AlexC can set through glass | |
| <AlexC> see* | |
| <siccness> Must be difficult, AlexC. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I can see through invisible things. | |
| * AlexC created earth | |
| <siccness> Doubtful. | |
| * Davo_Dinkum looks through siccness. | |
| <AlexC> then tried again and got hit in face | |
| <siccness> I'm quite a see-throughable person, i'm somewhat predictable. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> It would appear that you have consumed alcohol in the last 24 hours, siccness. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser takes a gamble on his feet being sockable and covers them | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> And you have eaten... | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Dinner! | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: yes, but a 2yr old kid from Afghanistan could have guessed that. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> lmao | |
| * AlexC is not fishing rod | |
| <siccness> but is your rod fishing? | |
| <siccness> actually that's not so much PG, nevermind :P | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Is it Pimpadelic? | |
| <Hit3k> http://youtube.com/watch?v=4ZmJ63sHoKU IBM Linux Ad | |
| <adhoc> Pimplydelic | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Pfft flash player | |
| * AlexC is a lightning rod | |
| <adhoc> Davo_Dinkum: just get the flv download and play thingy | |
| * AlexC has been hit 8 times | |
| <AlexC> in the last hour | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ok, afk. sorting clothes | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> flv? | |
| <siccness> yes, google flv | |
| <adhoc> Davo_Dinkum: thats the video format they use at youtube.com | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> oh yeah flash video or whatever it stands for. | |
| <vups> just another mpeg variant, me thinks | |
| <siccness> still a prop. video format | |
| * AlexC eats self | |
| <AlexC> thrice | |
| * adhoc puts a shim in AlexC /me | |
| <AlexC> what is that? | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <SeyToN> anybody knows about multimedia box for a tv similar to mythtv but just for mp3 and music video only? | |
| <vups> mythtv ? | |
| <Hit3k> its like a linux media center thing | |
| <SeyToN> pretty much yeah | |
| <Hit3k> apparently the microsoft one is still better though | |
| <SeyToN> running p3 500mhz | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <SeyToN> i know | |
| <SeyToN> i just wanna run mp3 player box for my tv | |
| <adhoc> Hit3k: like we care ... | |
| <siccness> Hit3k: are you referring to media center OS? | |
| <Hit3k> yes | |
| <siccness> I would disagree to the point of my brain being splattered against the wall. | |
| <siccness> Media Center BLOWS. | |
| <vups> siccness would knot ;) | |
| <vups> *know | |
| * AlexC burns hand | |
| <siccness> :) | |
| <AlexC> it hurts | |
| <Hit3k> oh my god the PS3 has the same interface as the PSP | |
| * AlexC isn't very amazed | |
| <Hit3k> tbh neither am i, I just didnt expect it to be like that | |
| * AlexC wants job | |
| <yama> stick with something that works | |
| <Hit3k> but it will have yellow dog linux soon | |
| <yama> I hear the interface was a bit of a rush job | |
| <Hit3k> oh.. right | |
| <yama> and gentoo | |
| <yama> and fedora, I hear | |
| <Hit3k> yeah | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <Hit3k> i saw a video of it with fedora | |
| <SeyToN> of what? | |
| <SeyToN> ps3? | |
| <Hit3k> yeah | |
| <AlexC> BOO!!! | |
| <SeyToN> hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm | |
| <SeyToN> nvidia card? | |
| <siccness> yama: any distribution with a PPC release, really. | |
| <siccness> Which in my opinion is nothing but great :D | |
| <AlexC> who wants to build me a computer | |
| <siccness> AlexC: depends | |
| <siccness> Give me the budget and I can whip up specifications | |
| <Tatey^2> PC's are easy to build | |
| <AlexC> on.... | |
| <siccness> AlexC: on vim | |
| <AlexC> $350 | |
| <Hit3k> you can get an CPU | |
| <AlexC> okay... $400 | |
| <siccness> You can't buy nothing with $350 other than a second hand computer. | |
| <Hit3k> CPU and a stick of ram | |
| <siccness> I can build you a relatively slower box for $400 | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <siccness> Do you like Intel Celerons? :P | |
| <Tatey^2> you can get an entire PC for $400, just don't expect anything new | |
| <AlexC> yes | |
| <AlexC> intel would be good | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> good? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> no shame, clearly | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <AlexC> i don't like AMD | |
| <siccness> Why? | |
| <AlexC> i do | |
| <adhoc> http://www.elx.com.au/item/ELS1002 <- $360 peecee | |
| <AlexC> but... | |
| <Hit3k> what did AMD ever do to you | |
| <AlexC> not 64 | |
| <AlexC> AMD64* | |

| <siccness> praetorian: staticice.com.au | |
| <SeyToN> http://www.intel.com/design/servers/chassis/sc5275e/index.htm | |

| <siccness> let me evaluate my box :) | |
| <SeyToN> here we go with his super fvkn pc | |
| <siccness> nah | |

| <siccness> worth shit all | |
| <SeyToN> ok | |
| <siccness> today: | |
| <siccness> proc=$245,mobo=$155,ram=$150,hdd(s)=$300,case=$116,psu=$185,vid=$80,dvdrw=$50,cdrw=?? | |

| <rob> heh ouch | |
| <rob> I remember those days :) | |
| <siccness> She still works too :) | |
| <rob> nice | |
| <SeyToN> what brands? | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser only paid 200 for his (same for dvd drive... 200 is my magic number ;)) | |
| <siccness> proc=amd opty165, mobo=dfi lanparty ultra d, ram=corsair xms 1gb, hdd=seagate/wd, case=antec,psu=antec,vid=ati x1300 pro,dvdrw=pioneer,cdrw=plextor | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: Help my build a PC for my mate for under $1k | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> He's a gamer/windows bitch | |
| <siccness> well.. | |
| <siccness> how much of a gamer is he? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Err a bit | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> FIFA, etc | |
| <siccness> because if hes what id call a gamer, than the video card alone blows his budget :) | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Then no. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> 256MB card will probably do him fine. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What's that computer store called? CPS? | |
| <siccness> cpl | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> That's it. He wants to buy everything from there. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Prices and products here. Go nuts: http://www.cpl.net.au/greenguide/142569009.pdf | |
| <siccness> You could do a nice Intel E6300 box | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> wtf? | |
| <SeyToN> i used to work for hallmark viewmaster computers + omega technology | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Nah get AMD | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> 32bit but | |
| <siccness> You're in a little bit of strife if you want to go 32bit | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Cos? | |
| <siccness> because no one stocks them ;) | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Hmm yes. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Better get intel then. | |
| <siccness> There's no issue with AMD. | |
| <SeyToN> if u get intel get an intel mobo | |
| <siccness> However, your mate is probably better off considering the current intel lineup murders the amd line up | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> True. | |
| <siccness> so something like: intel e6300, Gigabyte 965P-S3 (i965), 1GB RAM [kingston, corsair value, whatever low-end shit], | |
| <siccness> 7600GS video card | |
| <siccness> throw a 200gb sata drive in there | |
| <siccness> antec sonata ii case is pretty good | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Sounds good. Get Seagate. | |
| <siccness> get all that for around $1000 | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> He wants PC + mouse +KB | |
| <siccness> + monitor? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> No. | |
| <SeyToN> logitech mouse ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yay. finished clothes sorting | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Of course. Logitech make all the other mice and KBs anyway. | |
| <Phlosten> are there any half decent photo managers besides f-spot and digikam? | |
| <siccness> KB I wouldn't give two shits about, because they're all the same, really. | |
| <siccness> mouse is a little different | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What's wrong with those? | |
| <siccness> pick up a logitech mouse | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Phlosten, googles th8ing? | |
| <siccness> could go with a wireless setup, it'll cost a bit more | |
| <Phlosten> Kamping_Kaiser, i did google, came up with lots of crap | |
| <siccness> and blow his $1k budget | |
| <Phlosten> f-spot is nice, would be great if it were stable | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Phlosten, i was meaning that google picture thingy | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser shuts up. dunno what i'm talking about | |
| <Phlosten> oh, picasa | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Nah no wireless. He's got a router. | |
| <Phlosten> Kamping_Kaiser, just installed that, chews the cpu like nothing else | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Phlosten, ah ok | |
| <Phlosten> and it has teeny tiny fonts | |
| <Phlosten> very annoying, cant seem to find a way to adjust | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Can we squeeze in water cooling without blowing the budget? | |
| * Davo_Dinkum doubts it. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Great now he wants a screen. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness? | |
| <SeyToN> viewsonic imo | |
| <Hit3k> I feel so dirty on XFCE | |
| <Hit3k> er KDE | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: he's rooted for under $1000 | |
| <Phlosten> Hit3k, dirty? | |
| <Hit3k> I just get used to XFCE then i have to get used to KDE so i feel kinda weird | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: the box i just showed without kb/mouse is around $1000 almost on the dot. | |
| <Hit3k> and i just dont like KDE | |
| <Phlosten> Hit3k, have to get used to? | |
| <siccness> if he wants kb/mouse, monitor and watercooling than he's going to need another $500. | |
| <siccness> and then some. | |
| <siccness> and if you've got $1500-$1700 to spend on a box | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> drop the watercooling then. | |
| <siccness> LCD or CRT? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Dunno. I'll ask. | |
| <Phlosten> might be able to squeeze in a 30" :) | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> lmao | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> yeah right | |
| <siccness> if he wants it under $1000, ill have to re-do the whole box. | |
| <siccness> and it'll end up being what i'd call "why bother with this" | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> How much did you say for the case? | |
| <siccness> $170 or so | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Get real. Just grab a shitty case. | |
| <siccness> nope | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> y? | |
| <siccness> the case includes a decent psu | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Oh yeah. | |
| <siccness> a shit case including shit psu | |
| <siccness> and im not telling someone to buy a shit psu | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> or get a bare case, and a seperte psu | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Kamping_Kaiser: Will that work out cheaper? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Davo_Dinkum, dunno. i havent tried. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> you would have to look around | |
| <siccness> shit cases can be quite an annoyance | |
| <siccness> the case i described was designed to be relatively silent | |
| <siccness> which helps your mates cause for watercooling unit | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Stuff the watercooling! | |
| <siccness> exactly | |
| <siccness> thats my point | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Now he doesn't want a screen. What price are we on now? | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <siccness> your friend sounds female, can never make up their mind :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <siccness> but your mate wants keyboard/mouse setup, correct? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> yeah | |
| <siccness> atm, we're on $1000 without kb/mouse | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bhahaha | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> its going to be 10% of the fee just on kbd/mouse | |
| <siccness> i can drop down to a lower-end system and then add kb/mouse, but there'll be left over money | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> So about $1100 with KB and mouse? | |
| <siccness> Yes | |
| <siccness> Even less if the kb/mouse setup isn't important to your mate, just a cheap generic product. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> He'll prob do it for that. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What are you spending on KB/mouse? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Nah $1100 is fine. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: Is this all from CPL? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! " Etch is now frozen! " | |
| <siccness> http://www.cworld.com.au/product_info.php?ID=117520 for $82 | |
| <siccness> not all, no. | |
| <siccness> if hes planning on getting them to build it then he will have to fork out more (labour cost) | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yeah definately. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What will they charge for that? | |
| <siccness> Not a clue. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I might put it together then | |
| <siccness> cpu=intel core 2 duo e6300, mobo=gigabyte 965p-s3, ram=igb ddr2 533,hdd=160gb sata,case/psu=antec sonata ii,video=256 gigabyte 7600GS,dvdrw=pioneer 111d, kb/mouse=logitech cordless desktop rechargable oem | |
| <siccness> *1gb | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> 160gb? I thought we said 200gb | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wondesr how long until dunc-bank is updated with news of etch freeze | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> oh crap now he wants speakers tooo | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Cut this wireless KB/mouse combo crap. Just get wired stuff. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser sugests he goes and gets his own prices... | |
| <hantoo> grm.. i think i'll have to pass lca :( | |
| * hantoo bangs his fists on random stuffs. | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: i give up. | |
| <siccness> Your friend is useless. | |
| * noiesmo thinks cworld is expensive | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: i dropped it down to 160 cuz he wanted kb/mouse | |
| <elkbuntu> good grief... the 13yrold found me on oftc.. | |

| <MotherLUG> Evening All | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hi MotherLUG :) | |
| <MotherLUG> Hey there Kamping_Kaiser | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> how are you? | |
| <MotherLUG> Doing well, How are you? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> not so bad today. (acutally, quite good). just, er, 'enjoying' a browse through vims help trying to wokr out an option | |
| <siccness> What option, Kamping_Kaiser? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, i want to only see 4 spaces in a tab, not 8. i thought thats what sts did, but re-reading the help makes me think i was wrong | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> atm i have ts=4 set, which is uncool | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <siccness> i'd help but i just realised how many options there are :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> rofl | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :help soft | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> is the one i'm looking at | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> however ts might be the option i was wanting... hm. | |
| <siccness> sounds like sts is what you want | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser has brain segfault | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, look at :help tabstop | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> first option | |
| <siccness> ah ok | |
| <siccness> so tabstop should stay at 8 | |
| <siccness> and then adjust sts and shiftwidth | |
| <Rothbuntu> Banks worldwide are opting for the predictability and familiarity of Microsoft's Windows for application servers over Linux, | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser is no longer supprised by his banks crapness | |
| <Rothbuntu> lol quite a bizzare article | |

| <dav085> im trying to get WPA working following a guide :) | |
| <dav085> can someone help me with just 2 questions | |
| <dav085> i dont have an internet connection with ubuntu atm | |
| <cps> only 2 no more :-) | |
| <elkbuntu> Hit3k, http://meldra.no-ip.info/ubiquity-warp.jpg <-- you can expect this if you have an ati radeon xpress 200m vid card | |
| <dav085> and the guide says i need to get wpasupplicant and it says | |
| <Rothbuntu> ahhhh ummmm i got something | |
| <dav085> apt-get install network-manager-gnome network manager | |
| <Hit3k> oh i have a 200m in my lappy but i dont plan on putting linux on there until i get a mac | |
| <elkbuntu> it's only temporary though, thank goodness | |
| <dav085> network-manager* | |
| <Rothbuntu> yep | |
| <elkbuntu> mmmm mac... someone needs to donate me a mac | |
| <dav085> where can i get those packages from? | |
| <Rothbuntu> and you need to remove 2 entried in the /etc/interfaces | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Only if you donate me $1k | |
| <Hit3k> hey! thats currently the same laptop as mine | |
| <elkbuntu> Davo_Dinkum, not quite.. and i'd be saving that for next UDS if i had it | |
| <elkbuntu> Hit3k, feel like downloading herd1 and seeing if it happens, you dont need to commit to the install | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL funny problem | |
| <Hit3k> hmm | |
| <elkbuntu> Hit3k, is it V2627AU? | |
| <Hit3k> i might do it when i get more CDs | |
| <Hit3k> oh no. V2000AU | |
| <elkbuntu> near enough | |
| <Hit3k> yeah | |
| <elkbuntu> got a confirm from a m2000 model | |
| <Hit3k> that it warps? | |
| <elkbuntu> yeah | |
| <elkbuntu> https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/74959 | |
| <Hit3k> did you read DarkMageZs article? | |
| <elkbuntu> Hit3k, unfortunately. where's he 'published' it? | |
| <Hit3k> http://criticalofubuntu.blogspot.com/ | |
| <Hit3k> oh | |
| <Hit3k> hes taken it down | |
| <elkbuntu> if it's the one i saw a draft of, im not surprised | |
| <Hit3k> haha I actually helped a bit on the wireless just from som experience i had with my wireless setup | |
| <elkbuntu> are we talking the 'article' with FUD like "Lack of driver updates after release" and "There is a lack of HEAVY testing before launch!" ? | |
| <Hit3k> yeah i think so | |
| <Hit3k> first draft he did | |
| <cps> most likely along with "I couldn't install in on my grandmother" | |
| <elkbuntu> Hit3k, second draft was no better | |
| <purserj> okay I'm just going to ask for the sake of it, but has the WA timezone info been updated yet? | |
| <elkbuntu> not a clue | |
| <cps> doesn't seem like a very productive blog | |
| * purserj sighs, looking at the bug it doesn't appear so | |
| <Hit3k> i was about to ask that as well purserj | |
| <elkbuntu> cps, its just going to be a FUD-filled bitch session | |
| <cps> yeah, would be much better if they spent their time writing bug reports with good test cases etc | |
| <elkbuntu> exactly | |
| * purserj writes a nudge on the tz bug | |
| <praetorian> still not done? | |
| <purserj> apparantly not | |
| <Hit3k> I think its pretty obvious whats going on here. | |
| <praetorian> thats pretty bad, its quite a serious thing | |
| <Hit3k> canonical doesnt care about you WAers. | |
| <praetorian> more so WA government fault | |
| <purserj> I'm not a WAer, just interested in the bug being fixed | |
| <praetorian> "you" ? | |
| <Hit3k> well im not gonna say us cause im in the east | |
| <praetorian> oh | |
| <praetorian> but you referred to, two people in the east as "you WAers" | |
| <praetorian> cool. | |
| <Hit3k> ah well | |
| <purserj> One could understand the short notice being a pain, but its been 9 days since they went into DST and they had 9 days from confirmation of the law being passed | |
| <Hit3k> I want to know if they set their clock to tokyo time | |
| <Hit3k> hmm i seem to have alot of unlabelled gentoo Cds | |
| <siccness> As do I for some reason. | |
| <Hit3k> yeah its odd though I havnt installed gentoo for ages and thought i got rid of all my CDs | |
| <siccness> I changed CDs about 10 times the other day looking for "the good stuff" and saw atleast 3 Gentoo CDs | |
| <Hit3k> ah.. the good stuff | |
| <Hit3k> james bond movies?:P | |
| <siccness> if james bond movies have naked chicks having fun, sure. | |
| <Hit3k> maybe in 20 years when i become prime minister and make public nudity acceptable | |
| <Hit3k> i need to raid some of my hard drives | |
| <purserj> And my answer to that is Bronwyn Bishop Nude | |
| <Hit3k> has anyone noticed the new pope looks like satan | |
| <elkbuntu> purserj, johnny nude | |
| <elkbuntu> purserj, or.. kim beasley nude | |
| <Hit3k> ewwwwwwwwwwww elkbuntu i was about to go to bed | |
| <elkbuntu> Hit3k, it's your law | |
| <Hit3k> true | |
| <Hit3k> only uh.. hot people | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> The new pope also looks like the sith lord from star wars | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> the one that always wears a hood. | |
| <Hit3k> palpatine | |
| <Hit3k> he was a nazi | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> The old looking guy | |
| <Hit3k> hitlers nazi school for young boys or something | |
| <Hit3k> yeah palpatine sidious w/e you want to call him | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yeah | |
| <Hit3k> the last star wars movie sucked | |
| <Hit3k> it made no sense whatsoever | |
| <cps> you mean the last one made or the last one in the series? | |
| <Hit3k> Episode 3 | |
| <cps> just a bunch of special effects | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Popey and alter ego: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebrad/9958184/ | |
| <Hit3k> http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43866307/ | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Nice one | |
| <Hit3k> s'not mine | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Funny game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshikura_Manju | |
| <Hit3k> sed goes like | |
| <Hit3k> s/word to correct/newword doesnt it? | |
| <Hit3k> mm | |
| <Hit3k> gotta go to kde again :( oh well brb | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Sick of xfce? | |
| <Hit3k> nah couldnt use root to use the filemanager and couldnt open konqueror | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Are you running the latest version of it? | |
| <Hit3k> and when i use cp it breaks the consitency of the file by 2mb when i copy it to my usb | |
| <Hit3k> Davo_Dinkum, yes | |
| <Hit3k> this is just stupid it shouldnt take 27 minutes to copy 700mb | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Hmm yes that's way too long. | |
| <Hit3k> I think slackware might be broken which is why im going back to ubuntu for a while | |
| <Hit3k> because then i know i have consistency | |
| <Hit3k> hrm | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> This guide is impossible: http://www.netguides.org.uk/guides/origami/Crane.html | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Oh wait I get it. | |
| <cps> first two steps look easy | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I'm on step 6. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Why on earth does the shape of the paper change between steps 5 and 6? That's confusing. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I'm off. | |
| <Hit3k> be back tomorrow | |
| <Hit3k> gonna install ubuntu | |
