14:54.57 | pie | what is dovecot? |
14:56.22 | JD | a very fast imap server |

14:58.14 | pie | we got winXP to work with samba 3 on a 2.6 kernel, it now logs onto the domain correctly |

15:29.34 | murble | skugg: no it doesn't some luser agents do. |
15:30.10 | murble | as in they make stupid assumptions, and don't use the imap builtins to get the correct information. |
15:30.29 | skugg | murble, ah well. it works with dovecot |
15:37.51 | murble | works with mutt as well. |
15:39.40 | skugg | i use mutt. with courier, i had to set the imap_use_namespace or whatever flag to get it to work properly |
15:40.21 | JD | skugg: yes |
15:40.26 | JD | that is about right |
15:42.14 | skugg | JD, i thank you for all the configuration tips -- however, the one trick I really wanted to pull, i have not been able to :P |

15:47.13 | skugg | yeah, i must have mixed them up or something... |
15:48.37 | JD | I also have S mapped to mark as spam |
15:48.42 | JD | but d is just as good |

19:55.02 | JD | hi all |
19:55.11 | Leeds | evening |
19:55.38 | Jenson | heya JD gorgoues |
19:55.43 | Jenson | gorgeous too |
19:57.34 | JD | ah that explains it |
19:59.55 | Jenson | oh well, I'm gonna watch TV, I'll be back in the ad breaks then at 10. |
20:00.10 | JD | bye |
20:25.14 | stephanb | JD: what's happening ? |
20:25.23 | JD | sod all |
20:25.36 | JD | watching she's all that for the 3rd day in a row |
20:25.52 | stephanb | switch it off |
20:26.07 | stephanb | and enjoy a moment of total stillness |
20:26.21 | stephanb | the gateway to your path to zen meditation |
20:27.13 | Leeds | stop peddling your eastern pap here |
20:27.28 | Leeds | or something a little less offensive... |
20:27.42 | Leeds | (that is - I should have said something a little...) |
20:27.52 | stephanb | no offense mate |
20:28.17 | stephanb | i'm teasing you :-) |
20:28.34 | JD | I could slap you with an neighbours annoying daughter |
20:28.49 | stephanb | don't forget that most advice people give to you is generally advice they want to give to themselves :-o |
20:30.25 | stephanb | no he hasnt |
20:30.34 | JD | bloody foreigners :) |
20:30.49 | Leeds | a classic TV show |
20:31.01 | stephanb | not quite, the reason is i haven't had a tv for 2 years now |
20:31.13 | stephanb | Xiaoqi: wb lil' ball of energy |
20:31.17 | Leeds | I don't think it's been on for quite a few yeahs |
20:31.17 | Xiaoqi | ty |
20:31.23 | Leeds | boo! |
20:31.34 | JD | was on a long time ago |
20:31.39 | JD | at least 8 years ago |
20:31.52 | stephanb | oh i was in france then, still without a tv |
20:31.58 | Leeds | exactly my point |
20:32.24 | stephanb | bloody foreigner |
20:32.44 | Leeds | exactly my point |
20:33.04 | Leeds | :-) |
20:38.15 | stephanb | stealing jobs from honest brits |
20:39.29 | stephanb | ok argument #2 : the jews control the media |
20:39.49 | stephanb | i've got jewish origins, i work for television |
20:40.00 | JD | feck off. there isn;t enough jews in this country |
20:40.14 | JD | and there are at least 2 in here |
20:40.33 | Leeds | and the royal family... |
20:40.45 | stephanb | what about the roal family ? |
20:40.55 | Leeds | what is roal? |
20:41.02 | JD | the royal family are inbred |
20:41.10 | stephanb | a typing error for royal |
20:41.24 | Leeds | so... I control them |
20:41.28 | stephanb | soon we shall have "royal family big brova" |
20:41.48 | stephanb | that will be hotter than "the osbornes" |
20:41.48 | Leeds | as long as we can vote them out... |
20:41.53 | JD | they are also irrelevent |
20:41.58 | stephanb | :-D |
20:42.15 | stephanb | JD: why is blair clinging on them ? |
20:42.38 | stephanb | oh of course, it helps him keep total control |
20:42.47 | Leeds | president blair? |
20:43.06 | stephanb | an elected president could act as counter power to the PM |
20:43.22 | stephanb | an impotent dysfunctional royal family is better |
20:43.38 | Leeds | so... can we nominate SuSE as an annoyance? |
20:43.41 | JD | stephanb: they are nothing more than a tourist trap |
20:43.50 | JD | Leeds: of course |
20:43.55 | JD | they aren;t debian or slack |
20:44.28 | Leeds | they're germans with an ambiouously-pronounced name |
20:44.34 | Leeds | ambiguously |
20:45.14 | stephanb | oh |
20:45.22 | stephanb | a more focused question for the chan |
20:45.36 | stephanb | what is gentoo ? (compared with other distros) |
20:45.44 | Leeds | ibot gentoo |
20:45.45 | | somebody said gentoo was a high-performance ports-based Linux metadistribution for x86, PowerPC, Sparc and Sparc64 systems. Its got a ports like system. It rules all other inferior distributions. And he reminds me of BSD |
20:46.06 | stephanb | ibot mandrake |
20:46.07 | | i heard mandrake is the best linux distro or the worst linux distro, or a plant that screams when you rip it out of the ground and kills you for removing it, or that guy who used to work for VA that is also doing that voice synth stuff |
20:46.18 | Leeds | ibot slackware |
20:46.19 | | The Slackware distribution. URL: http://www.slackware.com/ |
20:46.26 | Leeds | how boring... |
20:46.28 | stephanb | ibot redhat |
20:46.29 | | methinks redhat is a linux distribution (http://www.redhat.com/) or one of the "primer" versions of linux till you learn enough to use debian. or sucks or a waste of money or a waste of time or messy |
20:46.33 | new2unix | ibot windows |
20:46.34 | | well, windows is a 32 bit hack on a 16 bit operating system, originally designed for an 8 bit CPU, with a 4 bit system bus, made by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition... |
20:46.46 | stephanb | :-D |
20:46.51 | stephanb | ibot osx |
20:46.52 | | rumour has it, osx is such a good OS it owns people's afr0's |
20:46.52 | new2unix | thats a bit harsh. |
20:46.56 | Leeds | ibot is such a joker |
20:46.57 | | Leeds: have you tried http://www.tldp.org/ ? |
20:47.35 | stephanb | ibot apple |
20:47.36 | | apple is a "different" computer company :). They are currently known for the iMac, eMac, PowerMac, XServe, iPod, iBook, and Titanium Powerbook. Their computers use (motorola) PowerPC processors, of the G3 (750) and G4 (74XX) nature. the G4 processor has vector processing known as "altivec". Apple can be found at http://www.apple.com |
20:47.39 | Leeds | so... |
20:47.44 | Leeds | anyone paid SCO yet? :-) |
20:47.55 | new2unix | hi Leeds, stephanb, lurkers. just got in. bbl |
20:48.09 | Leeds | morning new2unix |
20:48.11 | stephanb | new2unix: yo ! |
20:48.54 | stephanb | well loads of fun, but doesn't tell me what gentoo is |
20:50.34 | Leeds | it's a source-based non-commercial (AFAIK) distro |
20:51.34 | Leeds | ibot google for gentoo |
20:52.21 | stephanb | ooooh |
20:52.43 | stephanb | is there a "ibot wikipedia" function ??? |
20:53.30 | Leeds | not that I know of - but I'm sure a patch would be appreciated |
20:55.00 | stephanb | yeeaah |
20:55.13 | Leeds | ibot you |
20:55.13 | | ibot is probably a blootbot now, no longer an infobot. run by BZFlag (TimRiker) on his server. see blootbot also http://blootbot.sourceforge.net/ it uses SQLite but can use MySQL or other SQL for storage. |
20:55.48 | Leeds | ibot status |

21:08.54 | Xiaoqi | Leeds: that might increase the price and your liability of getting lynched by Clyphox |
21:09.02 | Leeds | I can take him... |
21:09.07 | cozmonort | lol |
21:09.16 | JD | Leeds: you couldn;t afford it |

21:11.04 | stephanb | it can be done |
21:11.06 | Xiaoqi | but i could do it |
21:11.13 | stephanb | it would be like a sculpture of a car |
21:11.20 | Xiaoqi | if you pay me a lot for it |
21:11.21 | Xiaoqi | hehehe |
21:11.25 | Leeds | hmm... a scarf could be nice, actually... I have a woolly hat... |
21:11.33 | stephanb | knitted in a thread with metallic shine to it |
21:11.37 | stephanb | its conceptual art |

21:15.17 | stephanb | isn't it ironical that we are talking about knitting, when the Jacquard loom was seminal to the history of computing |
