13:00.37SlayerXPdepends what you mean by network engineer
13:00.44morsingIs he as network engineer?
13:01.04morsingBigIP, Nokia firewalls etc
13:01.08wethrin~evangineer
13:01.09ibot[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.
13:01.44SlayerXPoh, no
13:02.00morsingSecurity and design as well
13:02.02SlayerXPi'm sysadmin, debian zealot and mail systems guru
13:02.20morsingI've tried to apply for the job but he laughed at me
13:02.36wethrinWhy's zealot a good thing? :)
13:03.05morsing~zealot
13:03.06ibotzealot is probably a person like Error403, or a protos unit in StarCraft, both the original and the expansionpack Broodwar
13:03.17morsing~wethrin
13:03.19ibotwethrin 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
13:03.25SlayerXPpeople who prefer debian for data centres tend to have two clues to rub together
13:03.43morsing~coffee
13:03.44iboti 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
13:03.48wethrinMmm. Crap :)
13:03.53SlayerXPunlike RPM weenies who, generally, know how to click on stuff
13:04.05wethrinThat's not entirely true!
13:04.15wethrinLots of proper sysadmins know how to use RPM
13:04.35SlayerXPyes, a proper sysadmin would
13:05.13SlayerXPnot everyone who claims to be a sysadmin is actually good at it
13:05.21wethrinI wonder how many Debianites actually know how to use dpkg properly
13:05.28wethrinVery true
13:05.28SlayerXP"I'm a sysadmin!"  "no, you're a chimp with the root password"
13:06.57Leedsif it helps, I claim to be a bad sysadmin
13:07.11wethrinYes, but you're really a code monkey
13:07.16Leedstrue
13:07.19Leedsook
13:08.00wethrinSo, have you started using mirrored drives yet?
13:08.04SlayerXPthe only thing better than being sysadmin is being sysadmin with a boss who trusts you
13:08.27wethrinArrr. Most strangely, I had there where I worked. But then my boss was also a clueful sysadmin
13:08.32SlayerXPat my last salaried job I had a windows guy who wanred to do something silly
13:08.49SlayerXPI said no, so he went to my boss who said "I thought Mart said no?"

15:48.40wethrinIt is possible to step DC voltages up, but it's not nice
15:51.54rdancerwethrin: isn't it possible to wire the 12V outlets somehow, and drop the 24V?
15:52.53wethrinSo put -12V on ground, and +12V on high?
15:52.56rdanceryes
15:53.16wethrinCould work
15:53.25rdancerwith a switching ps
15:53.49wethrinWon't make any difference if it's switching or linear

17:14.42SlayerXP<gerard_> SlayerXP: For example, if i have an http server mounted on my debian, how i do an apt-get source :s?
17:15.41wethrin!?
17:15.49wethrinIf I have an apple, how is it like an orange?
17:16.21wethrinFor that matter, someone did a chemical comparison between apples and oranges (and got an igNobel prize for it), and found they were actually very similar

17:37.06LeedsI'm not seriously considering going to Paris overnight in a couple of weeks.... well, not very seriously
17:39.14Leedsdo *not* eat iPod shuffle!
17:39.26mikejw:D
17:39.30Leedsfootnote 2, IIRC
17:40.26mikejwI'll just polish it instead =]
17:44.10Leedsso you've actually got it?
17:44.55mikejwoh yeah, it came yesterday =]
17:45.34Leedshave you seen the pictures of someone who took his apart?
17:45.37mikejwmy flatmate tells me it's not an iPod, but is to me =D
17:45.47wethrinIt's not. It's an iShuffle
17:45.59mikejwwethrin: lol perhaps
17:46.20mikejwalthough it does clearly state on it that it is an iPod
17:46.50wethrinBah
17:47.22mikejwfrom the iPod family perhaps
17:47.28Marios_Leeds: I saw in a Travel agency ad, a package for 2 nights in Paris £99 (hotel + First Class EuroStar)
17:49.03mikejwLeeds: what did the iPod Shuffle dissection uncover?
17:49.39Leedsmikejw: well, it's got a battery... a USB plug... a couple of LEDs and some chips on a small circuit board... and a control pad...
17:49.53Leeds:-)
17:49.53mikejwhmmm
17:50.12mikejwcurious =)

18:57.15rdancerhaving booted the debian installer, the key mapping is completely messed up, no key does what it should; most of them simply beep upon me when pressed -- wtf? sparcstation5
19:17.02Marios_come one Leeds buy some fresh carry...not frozen :)
19:18.15Leedsthis is nice, convenient, and low-cal
19:18.48Marios_I haven't tried it but in general I don't like frozen food
19:19.44Leedsoh, and cheap...
19:21.11Marios_when it comes to food...cost is meaningless
19:21.47Leedsnope
19:22.47Marios_did you see package for Paris I posted 2 hours ago in the channel ?
19:24.09LeedsI saw your comment
19:24.20Marios_oh ok
19:24.25LeedsI wasn't really serious about going, and it was for a specific date - for a concert
19:24.32Marios_I see
19:24.39Marios_I am thinking to go next weekend
19:24.52Marios_unless I buy a car
19:28.49LeedsI'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...)
19:29.15Leedsyeah... rain today :-0
19:29.23Marios_yeah I think you are right
19:30.50rdancerhmm, debian netinst won't possibly bootstrap the keyboard properly. gentootime
19:33.21rdancera-ha: ``We currently only support sparc64 CPUs''. gentoo--
19:34.04Leedsrdancer: dude, you're obselete...
19:38.50evangineerrdancer: netbsd?
19:38.56rdancerevangineer: yes
19:39.07rdancerevangineer: that's where i'm at atm 8-)
19:39.13rdancerLeeds-- ;-)
19:40.10rdancerbut i *knew* debian runs ss5. what i didn't know, it can't be *installed* on them... 8-/
19:40.38Leedsif you can't install it, you're not l33t enough to run it
19:41.00rdancerLeeds: i can install it, but i don't have a nullmodem with me
19:41.33rdancerin fact, i could install it nevertheless, but i can't be arsed to dig into the netinst image.
19:42.03rdancerthe objective of having these is to try running different distros anyway...
19:42.34rdancernetbsd.org doesn't have the words 'install' or 'download' anywhere on the front page
19:43.23Leedsagain, you're simply not l33t enough
19:44.02Leedsthere's a link "How to get NetBSD" - might that not be a good place to start?
19:49.37rdancerwho am i to read the whole page? ;-)
19:50.10rdanceri'm pissed off whenever a keywoard search fails
19:50.47rdancerok, let's fix the d-i while the netbsd is downloading...
