05:28.17atoponceyou're on utopia, aren't you? you've got a fat enough pipe... :)
05:28.31Zelutyeah, the server is handling things just fine
05:28.40herloatoponce: for the time being he does, but the future could be interesting
05:29.32atoponceahh. that's right. he's getting in trouble...
05:29.34atoponceconsuming a bandwidth that you're paying for... shame...
05:29.46herloatoponce: yeah, but xmission does have a limit
05:30.01atoponcewhat is it?
05:30.18Zelutthe only time I come close to my limit is when I torrent.  The site with the heavy traffic is all text-based so its minimal bandwidth
05:30.44atoponceZelut: so, was that your first time meeting linuxalien, or have you met him before?
05:31.00Zelutfirst time
05:31.07herloZelut: true, but if you get hit by millions, it could be very interesting....
05:31.13atoponceand?
05:32.06ZelutI'm not worried about bandwidth anytime soon.
05:32.16herloatoponce: and machines can go boom!
05:32.19ZelutI thought linuxalien was much younger :)
05:32.20herlo;)
05:32.47atoponceyeah. he comes across that way with his chats in the channel.
05:33.08atoponcehe's a little odd, but pretty cool. if only i could motivate him more as the oalug vp...
05:33.34atoponceherlo: somebody set up us the bomb
05:34.27herloatoponce: I am not sure who, but somebody can base to yours as well..
05:35.17atoponceyou have no chance to survive make your time.

20:56.03atoponcedoing well. the past week has been theraputic for my them
20:59.48Honeyshivoh good
21:08.38synicatoponce: you using weechat?
21:08.48atoponcesynic: yeah
21:08.57atoponcehow'd you know?
21:09.09synicI was eavesdropping on a #utah conversation.
21:09.23synichow closely have you made it immitate irssi ?
21:10.02atoponcenot at all. just started playing it the other day. there are a few things that i like, and a few that i don't
21:10.54atoponceit doesn't have /lastlog and /completion- two functions i use a lot in irssi
21:11.39atoponcebut, it has vertical window splits, builtin nicklist, ruby/python/lua/perl scripting ability
21:11.44synicyeah, irssi is pretty hard to beat.
21:12.03synicI do like the python scripting ability, though
21:12.14atoponceyeah. weechat is definitely wet behind the ears, but for a 0.2.1 release, it's fairly sweet
21:12.18synicbeing that python is the best language in the world <cough>
21:12.28atoponceruby <cough>
21:12.38synicruby is a close second :)
21:12.42[phoenyx]lol
21:13.12syniclua is goofy.
21:13.18atoponceactually, i can't program in either real well, so i probably shouldn't have an opinion about them
21:14.22synicbrb
21:49.19[phoenyx]I like ruby a lot
21:49.28[phoenyx]but I've never used python
