09:32.39mindbenderis it possible to view the highlights in irssi when it's been notified during afk
09:33.29wethrinyes. That's what your away log is for
09:38.18mindbenderwethrin: but auto away hasn't been set thus AFK
09:38.56wethrinah. Well.
09:39.02wethrintough. You need to set your away log :)
09:42.00Mohanthere is a script available (screen_away.pl) in irssi site which does that..
09:44.08mindbenderMohan: lovely. thanks for that
09:46.25Mohannp
09:57.45kjsAnyone got any recommends on a decent priced NAS?
09:57.53kjsDell any good?
10:02.20morsingkjs: IBM DS4000?
10:09.24ChoHagA woman tech support person is digging into the guts of the computer under my desk.
10:11.46ChoHagI know it's sexist to even think this, but that it's a female geek is incredibly arousing.
10:11.54ChoHagAnd she's hot.
10:11.59ChoHagcurses his wedding band

10:16.26ChoHagShe even gets angry properly.
10:17.09ChoHagUnfortunately I think the poor girl is destined to become a sysadmin.
10:25.33z00dax(sysadmin) or nothing!
10:35.44bilarhsysadmin can be good work too, though
10:35.54bilarhit can also be terrible :)
10:36.11ChoHagUsually terrible.
10:36.28bilarhwell, for some people it works out really well
10:36.36bilarhi like a good mix myself
10:36.46bilarhi dont want to be a programmer anymore for example, well not full time
10:37.01ChoHagIt's working very well for me.
10:37.06ChoHagBut it's still a terrible job.
10:37.12bilarhsysadmin'ing is usually a good mix at least
10:37.35bilarhcould be worse, you could be selling bananas from the back of a bike for a living
10:37.39ChoHagHmm I think somebody needs to fix their intrusion detection rules.
10:37.45ChoHagRule specification: File /etc/httpd/logs/access_log has changed
10:37.53bilarhhehe
10:38.04bilarhis that tripwire (or a derivative)?
10:38.14bilarhmaybe they don't expect much traffic to the site :)
10:38.28ChoHagIt's the "serverM intrusion detection system"
10:38.35z00daxdo people still use tripwire ? I thought most had moved over to aide etc
10:38.54bilarhz00dax: i have no idea
10:39.00ChoHagOh. Where it said 'of 78' I thought that was 78 emails, not 78 pages.
10:39.01bilarhis oldskool
10:39.04z00daxChoHag: the intruder is accessing services on the machine :)
10:39.06ChoHagIn 24 hours.
10:39.49z00daxs/the int/the potential int/
10:40.08ChoHagI have received 1900 emails in 24 hours.
10:40.35ChoHagWhy does no company ever seem to think that's a bad idea?
10:40.55bilarhchohag: i often wonder the same
10:41.01z00dax1900 real emails typed out by real people isnt ideal .
10:41.19bilarhi get so much system generated crap here that i had to fight back by adding rules to move them straight to trash
10:41.33z00daxits not uncommon for me to get 2 or even 3 times that email in a day, but a very large portion of that tends to be notify / generated emails that can be handled in a few minutes
10:41.35ChoHagThey shouldn't be sent.
10:41.47bilarhz00dax: why do you need them in the firs tplace?
10:41.55bilarhz00dax: surely you just want to know if there's a problem
10:41.56ChoHagThe scripts that generate them should only send them if they have something important to say, otherwise the important information gets ignored.
10:42.03bilarhI hate the "everything is OK" emails every two minutes
10:42.10z00daxbilarh: i prefer stuff coming to me, rather than me going looking for stuff :) but sieve helps
10:42.38bilarhhmm, everybody's different i suppose
10:43.01bilarhi just can't deal with the noise... it builds up a resistance so that I end up dismissing emails from cron@xxxx or whatever without even looking propery at them
10:43.10z00daxsome of this is nagios etc, but some is just change stuff from various buildsystems and bugzilla's etc.
10:43.24bilarhnagios emails is a pain too
10:43.30bilarhi've stopped it emailing me
10:43.31z00daxbut as you said, much of this is filtered into the right place - in many cases the trashbox.
10:43.53bilarhwe have a big monitor which displays the current status of the site instead
10:44.00z00daxthe other thing is that i do most of my email either inbound commute or the outbound commute
10:44.06z00daxwhere interwebs are rarely ever functional
10:44.24bilarhah in that case you have a case :)
