08:53.14halii hate email
08:53.20haliit's one of the most annoying things to administer
08:53.29haliespecially for business users
08:53.39haliour archiving system is a bit overloaded
08:56.00halisome old hacky imap based archiving
08:56.10halisome users have 5gb mail in one single folder
08:56.17halicyrus isn't really liking that
08:56.29halii need to get budget for netvault :/

08:58.19antiphaseYou want Netvault and a Thumper, but you can't afford some more disks?

09:00.24halimore disks? it's more that cyrus as a archive system isn't very optimal
09:00.31haliit's all cpu related at the moment, not io bound
09:01.22haliit's currently running of 26 spindels, a few more wouldn't hurt but i don't want to waste money on that box
09:02.33antiphaseMust be Exchange :P

09:03.06wethrinHey, Exchange is an ENTERPRISE MAIL SOLUTION!
09:03.45Axelhey dan
09:04.17wethrinhi Axel
09:04.42Axel:)
09:05.18Axelanybody know a good, cheap vps provider in the uk?
09:07.06haliour primary setup is exchange yes but someone thought it would be a good idea to use the old system for archive purposes
09:07.24haliand actually, exchange works pretty well for us... the unix/linux workstation use imap
09:08.09haliAxel: www.bytemark.co.uk seems popular
09:08.36Axelhey hali
09:08.37Axelthx
09:20.09LeedsHKif you don't need the UK, slicehost.com works well for me

15:29.17AndyMillarafter reading some stupid post about FizzBuzz to weed out incompetent coders for job applications
15:29.31AndyMillarI've got bored and started coding FizzBuzz in every language I can think of :p
15:29.32wethrinFizzbuzz?

15:36.51AndyMillarsomeone I know has coded it 5 different ways in Java
15:37.08AndyMillarand now another IRC channel is playing codegolf with it, trying to get the shortest code
15:37.32AndyMillarit's "fun"
15:37.32AndyMillar:)
15:37.35wethrinSo it basically counts: 1,2,fizz,4,buzz,fizz,7,8,fizz,buzz ?
15:37.41wethrinOr am I missing the point?
15:37.52AndyMillaryes :)
15:37.57AndyMillarthat's exactly it
15:38.02AndyMillarit's trivial
15:38.02wethrinAnd 15 is replaced by fizzbuzz?
15:38.07AndyMillarindeed
15:38.24AndyMillarapparently a significant number of "coders" can't even do that
