| <lophyte> rexbron / mylesbraithwaite: are you guys coming down tonight? | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> no have to babysit | |
| <lophyte> hehe, take the lucky child on a trip to the linuxcaffe ;) | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> thats what david said | |
| <lophyte> well its true | |
| <lophyte> lol | |
| <Madpilot> meh | |
| * Madpilot is not impressed with his hosting service tonight. | |
| <Madpilot> they hijacked my custom 404 page, and their help desk ticket system requests your account password - on a non-secure webpage... | |
| <J-_> =( | |
| <Madpilot> I sent in a support ticket marked "Critical" on their insecure p/w request - without including my p/w like they ask... | |
| <Madpilot> I'm curious to see what the response is going to be. | |
| <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: Time for a switch, sounds like | |
| <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, yeah | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia, long time no see. | |
| <Burgundavia> indeed | |
| <Madpilot> no cloak? | |
| <tonyyarusso> Hey Burgundavia | |
| <tonyyarusso> still no | |
| <Madpilot> ah, a timezone config update - hopefully the adjustment to DST starting won't bork anything now! | |
| <wikityler> has anybody else had crashing and freezing problems after installing the updated from a few days ago? | |
| <Madpilot> wikityler, Dapper, edgy or feisty? | |
| <Burgundavia> feisty or earlier? | |
| <Madpilot> nothing here on edgy as of a few days ago | |
| <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: quick, Burgundavia is actually on - prod him about the website | |
| <Madpilot> we've already talked in PM. | |
| <Madpilot> we're way ahead of you | |
| <tonyyarusso> Loverly | |
| <Madpilot> it's going to be another week or so - Burgundavia is going away tomorrow for a long weekend - and then we'll redirect ubuntu-ca.org and get a CMS running. | |
| <tonyyarusso> Sounds good. Any timeline is better than no timeline. | |
| <Madpilot> ya. there will be some downtime for the site, which I'd hoped to avoid, but the way Canonical's hosting is set up we need a live URL to get to any CMS we install. | |
| <wikityler> i did it again... i asked a question and forgot to respond. sorry. i'm on edgy. seems like the sound, FF, and gaim are really touchy lately. | |
| <tonyyarusso> I doubt it will be a huge deal. Send a note to the ML an hour before you start and all should be well. | |
| <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, ya. Given how tiny the .ca site is, it should all be back up in a day or three once rehosted | |
| <Madpilot> wikityler, on Edgy here, all stable. | |
| <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: what cms are you considering? | |
| <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, no idea. that's still under discussion. Got a favourite to suggest? | |
| <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: Not sure. I'm familiar with Wordpress now, which can be used as a CMS for some types of things (we're probably small enough that it could work), but I'm not sure if that's the best option. Seveas recently re-did the NL site, so you might check his opinion too. | |
| <tonyyarusso> CuriousCat uses Drupal, if you can catch her ever. | |
| <tonyyarusso> elkbuntu's another on WP | |
| <tonyyarusso> I think -NL is joomla? | |
| <tonyyarusso> Might also hit Jono for what people have said works well. | |
| <mneptok> Madpilot: take a look at Geeklog | |
| <tonyyarusso> Or, ssh and grouped permissions ;) | |
| <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, something a bit more polished than 'ssh + grouped permissions' is a good idea, I think ;) | |
| <mneptok> if you don't want the complexity of a Geeklog, look at PyBloxsom | |
| <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: I suppose. That's what I usually work in myself, but probably isn't appropriate here. | |
| <mneptok> Madpilot: the bonus of Geeklog is i could get it set up for you in ~45 minutes while drunk. i have lots of ekperience with GL. | |
| <mneptok> tonyyarusso: PyBloxsom | |
| <Madpilot> hmm, I like the fact that pybloxsom just uses the filesystem for all storage. No screwing around with sql | |
| <mneptok> 'zackly | |
| <tonyyarusso> well, I'm off for the night - keep me posted on developments | |
| <Madpilot> night tonyyarusso | |
| <Madpilot> mutter mutter... landlord's cheapass Belkin crap router... mutter mutter | |
| <Madpilot_> that's better | |
