16:02.44 | neoromantique | Armand: Hi |
16:02.52 | neoromantique | Me right now: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t1.0-9/10556492_1482527031988083_3390152633018638808_n.jpg |
16:03.09 | Armand | Clean that screen!! :P |
16:03.17 | Armand | How was your interview? |
16:03.54 | neoromantique | Armand: Great |
16:04.04 | neoromantique | They've asked some technical questions |
16:04.06 | neoromantique | like |
16:04.37 | neoromantique | what's load average, what impact does empty programm in forever loop on it |
16:04.39 | neoromantique | stuff like that |
16:04.43 | neoromantique | About my bg & stuff |
16:04.45 | neoromantique | but sadly |
16:05.01 | neoromantique | I have to answer more questions over email(there require writing as they're situations) |
16:05.08 | neoromantique | and come to second interview next week :( |
16:05.15 | neoromantique | Way to tease |
16:05.20 | Armand | You're going into dev ? |
16:05.24 | neoromantique | Armand: Sysadmin! |
16:05.57 | neoromantique | But it was more of, you know, what is load average, and threads vs tasks vs processes |
16:06.02 | neoromantique | I did quite well, I feel |
16:06.12 | neoromantique | Even pieces I didn't quite know |
16:06.20 | neoromantique | I speculated openly, and I was fairly close |
16:06.44 | neoromantique | Aka, when I left it wasn't like "answer questions and we may see you next week" |
16:06.50 | neoromantique | but extremely friendly "see you next week" |
16:07.06 | neoromantique | aka, knowledge is enough for the role, so I feel great now |
16:07.11 | neoromantique | my knowledge* |
16:07.24 | neoromantique | If I pass second interview - job is mine |
16:07.45 | Armand | Shiiiitt.. I don't even know that. :P |
16:07.49 | neoromantique | Asked me if I'm okay with relocating and stuff like that ;p |
16:08.01 | neoromantique | Armand: I knew "somewhat" |
16:08.10 | Armand | I get the general idea, sure. |
16:08.14 | neoromantique | Like, I knew what load average was, but not details |
16:08.17 | neoromantique | and they asked for details |
16:08.21 | Armand | 'ps aux' and whatnot. :P |
16:08.22 | neoromantique | so I told 'em I don't know and speculated |
16:08.24 | neoromantique | lol |
16:08.54 | Armand | Sometimes it's better to be a little wrong, at least be in the right area. :P |
16:09.28 | neoromantique | Armand: ps aux | tail -n 5 | grep -i "$2" | kill -9 |
16:09.30 | neoromantique | ;p |
16:09.40 | Armand | As soon as you say "It's a misalignment in the flux capacitor", you know you've dropped the ball. :P |
16:09.42 | neoromantique | although Idk how to sort ps aux |
16:10.02 | neoromantique | Armand: I couldn't pronounce that |
16:10.03 | neoromantique | Also |
16:10.09 | neoromantique | What _really_ played into my favour |
16:10.14 | Armand | lol |
16:10.28 | *** part/#gllug dick_turpin (~peter@host217-34-163-30.in-addr.btopenworld.com) |
16:10.42 | neoromantique | This guys is going like -> "When I just started with nginx, most documentation was in Russian, and I had no idea what I'm doing" |
16:10.52 | neoromantique | And I go like, I'm fluent in Russian, including technical docs |
16:10.54 | neoromantique | :D |
16:11.10 | Armand | Haha |
16:11.11 | neoromantique | *he mentioned it before I told him I speak Russian |
16:11.21 | neoromantique | We were speaking about http/apache^nginx |
16:11.31 | neoromantique | So yeah |
16:11.47 | neoromantique | Train is at 9 |
16:11.59 | neoromantique | and I'm sitting in McDonald's with free WiFi |
16:12.08 | neoromantique | There's free WiFi in town centre in York |
16:12.11 | neoromantique | like whole thing |
16:12.25 | neoromantique | It's pretty decent too |
16:12.45 | neoromantique | Like, only 1mbit |
16:12.47 | neoromantique | but 13 ms ping |
16:13.00 | neoromantique | so it's hard limit per user, so it's stable |
16:13.19 | Armand | I want to troll free wifi points. :P |
16:13.35 | neoromantique | Now I have to write what I'd do in scenarios like: User will get Ad in the TV in few hours |
16:13.52 | neoromantique | Server she hosts on is old Cyrix, which we have no idea how is working at all |
16:14.12 | neoromantique | What would you steps to assure user that website will stand & your steps to optimize server |
16:14.29 | neoromantique | and one interesting one: What is your favourite text editor/why |
16:14.36 | neoromantique | I'll score bonus points with this one |
16:14.38 | neoromantique | as It's Vim. |
16:14.43 | neoromantique | and Why? Because Vim. |
16:17.24 | neoromantique | Armand: Would you mind to proofread the thing afterwards though? |
16:18.56 | Armand | Sure thing |
16:20.04 | Armand | nano -w neoro-dissert |
16:20.07 | Armand | :P |
16:23.50 | neoromantique | Armand: meh |
16:23.54 | neoromantique | vim questions |
16:24.14 | neoromantique | https://github.com/Neoromantique/dotfiles/blob/master/.vimrc |
16:24.18 | neoromantique | here is my magnificent config |
16:24.21 | neoromantique | I'm so proud of it |
16:25.13 | neoromantique | Lang dependent settings were stolen from online tho |
16:25.16 | neoromantique | but whoo carees :D |
16:26.27 | Armand | I know a few of my colleagues use VIM, but I have little care.. I use nano/gedit as they do the job. |
16:27.22 | neoromantique | Well, yeah |
16:27.25 | neoromantique | thing with vim is |
16:27.31 | neoromantique | once you get hang of it |
16:27.35 | neoromantique | it's same as nano/gedit |
16:27.40 | neoromantique | but after you get -really- good at it |
16:27.42 | neoromantique | you're jedai |
16:27.45 | neoromantique | Jedi |
16:27.47 | neoromantique | * |
16:27.54 | Armand | So, it won't offer me anything useful beyond editing text ? |
16:28.04 | neoromantique | Armand: If you don't need i tto, then no |
16:28.08 | Armand | Coz.. I just need shit *done* lol |
16:28.10 | neoromantique | I use feautures like tag editing |
16:28.28 | neoromantique | Like if I edit html, I can strip tags, edit contents, edit style="" and stuff like that |
16:28.31 | neoromantique | all with hotkeys |
16:28.52 | neoromantique | "Versatile in its configuration" |
16:28.53 | neoromantique | is that a thing? |
16:29.06 | neoromantique | like, do I use "versatile" as I'm supposed to use it? |
16:29.14 | Armand | Seems right |
16:30.07 | neoromantique | Armand: HOLY CRAP |
16:30.09 | neoromantique | https://github.com/Microsoft/ |
16:30.18 | neoromantique | Microsoft has changed as a company and is becoming more open in the way that we collaborate with others. |
16:30.20 | neoromantique | ...on github |
16:30.29 | neoromantique | Did they drop their VS VCS? |
16:32.41 | Armand | Huuuuwwhhhhaaaaa !??! |
16:33.15 | neoromantique | Is it what I think it is? |
16:33.23 | Armand | Seems so |
16:34.30 | neoromantique | Windows is dead, windows is dead, tell all your friends, windows is dead |
16:34.48 | Armand | Win 9 = Linux kernel ? :P |
16:34.54 | neoromantique | One can dream |
16:35.09 | neoromantique | I'm mostly happy about drop of ntfs in such case |

21:14.48 | toxboi` | happy sysadmin day to all :) |
21:14.56 | ChoHag | Wrong timezone. |
21:15.29 | toxboi` | doh |
21:16.05 | toxboi` | I thought it was today. |
21:16.25 | toxboi` | ChoHag: hows the new job going? |
21:17.09 | ChoHag | Working for the government is the most demoralising thing I have ever done. |
21:17.45 | ChoHag | The waste is astounding. |
21:18.15 | ChoHag | And the 'automatic environment deployment system' is switching vsphere for vim and driving it with jenkins. |
21:18.28 | ChoHag | or $EDITOR of your choice. |
21:19.18 | toxboi` | that sounds a bit.. overkill. |
21:19.36 | toxboi` | why will you switch vsphere for vim? |
21:20.02 | toxboi` | ah nvm, just read you mentioned government. |
21:20.25 | ChoHag | They basically replaced clicking around vsphere per-vm with typing a mammoth chunk of xml and firing a cli vmware client with jenkins. |
21:20.38 | toxboi` | lol |
21:20.59 | ChoHag | It's still all defined and provisioned entirely by hand. |
21:21.03 | toxboi` | and my team thought I was nuts when I proposed using vmware perl sdk for automation. |
21:21.26 | ChoHag | Reminds me of paperless offices dealing in scans of paper. |
21:21.48 | toxboi` | everyone gave me a stare like I've asked for their left kidney. |
21:22.15 | toxboi` | I guess it's not limited to government organisations. It's all about who manages these department. |
