| <Tatey> hi Phlosten | |
| <Tatey> I'm really impressed with Openbox | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Are there any 2gb USB memory sticks under $50? | |
| <Phlosten> Davo_Dinkum, probably not | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Ah well. igb is probably enough. | |
| <Phlosten> the 1GB seem to be the common buys atm at around $25-40 | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> *1gb | |
| <Phlosten> 35-40 | |
| <Phlosten> i suppose once they sell off the 2GB will come down to that | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yeah I'm looking at getting one with a retractable USB plug. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> MY current one needs to be moved around while plugged in to get it to work. | |
| <adhoc> hmmm retractable USB | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> adhoc: What's wrong with that? | |
| <Phlosten> Tatey, you'll be pleased to know I am still using Arch :) | |
| <siccness> and you'll be pleased to know that I'm still using gentoo :) | |

| <Davo_Dinkum> Learn mysql so I can hire you to set up a MythTV box for me :D | |
| <Phlosten> heh | |
| <siccness> There's atleast 30,000 guides on doing that, Davo_Dinkum :) | |
| <siccness> It's not hard :) | |

| <siccness> Although I won't deny it being a PITA. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> My PCMCIA CF card reader is being a bitch again. | |
| <siccness> That's what happens when you use wank-factor things like them | |
| <siccness> Stick to simple things: SATA, PATA and USB :) | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Wank factor? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> PCMCIA is simple. | |
| <siccness> True | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> It has the same number of pins as a CF card does. | |
| <Phlosten> anyone if there is a way to force Rhythmbox to reload/update the library? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I should buy a can of compressed air. | |

| <bettong> but you get a full deck each | |
| <bettong> and you can make custom ones so long as the balance is the same or if you make a new rule set with the people youre playing with | |
| <AlexC> okay | |
| <AlexC> send me a copy | |
| <bettong> im going to make it so people can print them out on the standard avery business card sheets | |
| <bettong> fingers crossed | |
| <bettong> im hoping it would be handy for schools | |
| <bettong> gotto get the cards done so folks can test it | |
| <bettong> im making it because they dont talk about commons and copyleft in schools | |
| <bettong> just about dont share | |
| <AlexC> send me some so i can test it : ) | |
| <bettong> i dont have internet as a media type either | |
| <bettong> i cant afford to print them out for people | |
| <bettong> is the problem | |

| <AlexC> i will print some | |
| <AlexC> maybe | |
| <AlexC> and give them out to friends at school | |

| <elkbuntu> pschulz01, hmm, i wonder how that happened | |
| <pschulz01> :-) | |
| <pschulz01> .. just the people you know I guess. | |
| <elkbuntu> well.. i didnt actually do it, someone else must have added, but you should get fridged sometime when a certain editor stops being lazy | |
| <pschulz01> I was a bit worried, as I saw one edit of UWN that had the 'spiel' removed... | |
| <pschulz01> Yeah.. the fridge need warning up. | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> i was. just dont remember why | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> wonder if i can con ben into setting it up for me :/ | |
| <siccness> ben? | |
| * AlexC nearly falls asleap | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> mate of mine, knows squid better then i do | |
| <pschulz01> Kamping_Kaiser: Does it look difficult? | |
| <pschulz01> Kamping_Kaiser: What have you been up to on the Backup Team? | |
| <pschulz01> (By the way) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> pschulz01, backupers? i used to do some bug finding/sorting work, and when tehy call, i'll be docing a bit | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> pschulz01, squid? with extras, it looks like a real bastard. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> we will see! | |
| <pschulz01> Kamping_Kaiser: How are they going? Is there a prefered Ubuntu backup system? | |
| <pschulz01> Kamping_Kaiser: I've just hacked together a backup server using bash.. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> pschulz01, i'm using rsnapshot at the hut. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> backupers? slowly. they have had issues with manpower | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> (and one of the devs lives in isreal, and can have time contraints....) | |
| <pschulz01> Kamping_Kaiser: It would be really cool if a package could specify 'user data' which a backup system could understand.. and store. | |
| <pschulz01> Similar to 'config' data. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> what do you mean? | |
| <pschulz01> Maybe I should put together a specification. | |
| <pschulz01> Eg. The 'mail' package specifies that '/var/spool/mail' is 'user data' that should be backed up (not lost). And the 'backup' package uses this information to grab the directories automatically. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ah ok. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> would be neat | |
| <pschulz01> 'just' needs to have a 'user-data' file added to the deb packages... | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> sif keep a mac keyboard, those things are horrible | |
| <Tatey> Davo_Dinkum: PowerMac G4 733Mhz. I still have an iBook | |
| <Tatey> Kamping_Kaiser: it's not a standard Mac keyboard, it's a 3rd party one from a company called "Macally" | |
| <Tatey> it has laptop-like keys, very nice to type on. More importantly, it's white :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Tatey, oh, *grin* i see | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> The only thing I like about Apple KBs is that they have no numberpad light lock thingy crap. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> And no scroll lock. I've never used that. | |
