13:00.44 | morsing | Is he as network engineer? |
13:01.04 | morsing | BigIP, Nokia firewalls etc |
13:01.08 | wethrin | ~evangineer |
13:01.09 | ibot | [evangineer] a term coined by Guy Kawasaki, a combination of evangelist and engineer: someone who wants to change the world and has the technical knowledge to do it, or an autodidact who occasionally attends gllug meetings and has been known to show up on the mailing list and irc. |
13:01.44 | SlayerXP | oh, no |
13:02.00 | morsing | Security and design as well |
13:02.02 | SlayerXP | i'm sysadmin, debian zealot and mail systems guru |
13:02.20 | morsing | I've tried to apply for the job but he laughed at me |
13:02.36 | wethrin | Why's zealot a good thing? :) |
13:03.05 | morsing | ~zealot |
13:03.06 | ibot | zealot is probably a person like Error403, or a protos unit in StarCraft, both the original and the expansionpack Broodwar |
13:03.17 | morsing | ~wethrin |
13:03.19 | ibot | wethrin is, like, bigger than a breadbox, unless said breadbox is > 5'11" long, or silly, or afraid that its time to correct how people use it's |
13:03.25 | SlayerXP | people who prefer debian for data centres tend to have two clues to rub together |
13:03.43 | morsing | ~coffee |
13:03.44 | ibot | i heard coffee is s probably for staying awake, or a proof for the inability of human language to describe God (Wittgenstein). Formula: 3,7-Dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione |
13:03.48 | wethrin | Mmm. Crap :) |
13:03.53 | SlayerXP | unlike RPM weenies who, generally, know how to click on stuff |
13:04.05 | wethrin | That's not entirely true! |
13:04.15 | wethrin | Lots of proper sysadmins know how to use RPM |
13:04.35 | SlayerXP | yes, a proper sysadmin would |
13:05.13 | SlayerXP | not everyone who claims to be a sysadmin is actually good at it |
13:05.21 | wethrin | I wonder how many Debianites actually know how to use dpkg properly |
13:05.28 | wethrin | Very true |
13:05.28 | SlayerXP | "I'm a sysadmin!" "no, you're a chimp with the root password" |
13:06.57 | Leeds | if it helps, I claim to be a bad sysadmin |
13:07.11 | wethrin | Yes, but you're really a code monkey |
13:07.16 | Leeds | true |
13:07.19 | Leeds | ook |
13:08.00 | wethrin | So, have you started using mirrored drives yet? |
13:08.04 | SlayerXP | the only thing better than being sysadmin is being sysadmin with a boss who trusts you |
13:08.27 | wethrin | Arrr. Most strangely, I had there where I worked. But then my boss was also a clueful sysadmin |
13:08.32 | SlayerXP | at my last salaried job I had a windows guy who wanred to do something silly |
13:08.49 | SlayerXP | I said no, so he went to my boss who said "I thought Mart said no?" |

15:47.34 | rdancer | ee question repost: can i somehow make the standard AT switching power supply produce a 19V DC for me? |
15:48.40 | wethrin | It is possible to step DC voltages up, but it's not nice |
15:51.54 | rdancer | wethrin: isn't it possible to wire the 12V outlets somehow, and drop the 24V? |
15:52.53 | wethrin | So put -12V on ground, and +12V on high? |
15:52.56 | rdancer | yes |
15:53.16 | wethrin | Could work |
15:53.25 | rdancer | with a switching ps |
15:53.49 | wethrin | Won't make any difference if it's switching or linear |
15:53.59 | rdancer | and the comp shouldn't notice (it's a notebook) |

15:55.25 | rdancer | but at the same time, connecting it to anything without optical isolators probably would result in the ground potentials differing by 12V, correct? |

15:56.03 | mikejw | hi |
15:56.07 | rdancer | lo |
15:56.10 | mikejw | =] |
15:57.16 | wethrin | Yes |
15:57.24 | wethrin | so you're better off getting a proper power supply |
15:58.27 | rdancer | thanks. |

16:00.13 | Leeds | rdancer: I'm not taking you to the hospital, no matter how much your nipples are smoking |
16:00.26 | wethrin | Maybe his nipples explode with delight? |
16:00.59 | rdancer | actually, i prefer more delicate forms of arousal |
16:01.11 | mikejw | :D |
16:02.11 | rdancer | as i think about it, most of them don't use any high voltages |
16:02.26 | wethrin | But low voltages are okay? |
16:02.28 | rdancer | oh wait, except for pr0n of course |
16:02.41 | rdancer | *grin* |
16:04.28 | rdancer | wethrin: nervous system voltages are pretty much ok 8-) |

17:44.55 | mikejw | oh yeah, it came yesterday =] |
17:45.34 | Leeds | have you seen the pictures of someone who took his apart? |
17:45.37 | mikejw | my flatmate tells me it's not an iPod, but is to me =D |
17:45.47 | wethrin | It's not. It's an iShuffle |
17:45.59 | mikejw | wethrin: lol perhaps |
17:46.20 | mikejw | although it does clearly state on it that it is an iPod |

19:21.11 | Marios_ | when it comes to food...cost is meaningless |
19:21.47 | Leeds | nope |
19:22.47 | Marios_ | did you see package for Paris I posted 2 hours ago in the channel ? |
19:24.09 | Leeds | I saw your comment |
19:24.20 | Marios_ | oh ok |
19:24.25 | Leeds | I wasn't really serious about going, and it was for a specific date - for a concert |
19:24.32 | Marios_ | I see |
19:24.39 | Marios_ | I am thinking to go next weekend |
19:24.52 | Marios_ | unless I buy a car |
19:28.49 | Leeds | I'd suggest the car, to be honest - if nothing else, leave Paris until the weather is a bit better - it's a bit miserable in the rain (not that I know what the weather is like there now...) |
19:29.15 | Leeds | yeah... rain today :-0 |
19:29.23 | Marios_ | yeah I think you are right |

19:40.10 | rdancer | but i *knew* debian runs ss5. what i didn't know, it can't be *installed* on them... 8-/ |
19:40.38 | Leeds | if you can't install it, you're not l33t enough to run it |
19:41.00 | rdancer | Leeds: i can install it, but i don't have a nullmodem with me |
19:41.33 | rdancer | in fact, i could install it nevertheless, but i can't be arsed to dig into the netinst image. |
19:42.03 | rdancer | the objective of having these is to try running different distros anyway... |
19:42.34 | rdancer | netbsd.org doesn't have the words 'install' or 'download' anywhere on the front page |
19:43.23 | Leeds | again, you're simply not l33t enough |
19:44.02 | Leeds | there's a link "How to get NetBSD" - might that not be a good place to start? |
