[1:28] <anom1> hello elfgoh
[1:28] <anom1> good to see you too
[1:29] <anom1> ah well, where will you guys be tomorrow and saturday?
[1:29] <elfgoh> anom1: do you truly not know>
[1:29] <elfgoh> s/>/?/
[1:29] <anom1> of course, so big letters "linuxnus.org", forgive me, sometimes I have the tendency to be a n00b.
[1:31] <elfgoh> anom1: nothing wrong with being a n00b. Trying to be a n00b at the times when you are not one may not be appropriate
[1:31] <elfgoh> dwu: ping
[1:32] <elfgoh> dwu: pm or email me your desired email id, 1st name and last name for the email address
[1:32] <anom1> actually, what i meant to ask is, will I be seeing you guys at Bugis Library. but I think I'll go read linuxnus.org instead./
[1:35] <elfgoh> anom1: softwarefreedomday.sg says we got a booth there
[1:40] <elfgoh> ngiin: re the whiteboard contents
[1:40] <elfgoh> why did you guys erase "Join us" from NUS Students?
[1:40] <hyperair> by the way, any frets on fire fans here who happen to watch haruhi suzumiya?
[1:40] <anom1> woah, linuxNUS + code android + LXDE Foundation ?? big team.
[1:41] <ruiwen> elfgoh: that was my enthusiastic eraser
[1:42] <elfgoh> ruiwen: ah ha....
[1:42] <ruiwen> hyperair: ooh. if we can hook up a guitar hero/rock band guitar to frets on fire at SFD that would quite rock
[1:43] <hyperair> ruiwen: does it connect to usb?
[1:43] <hyperair> ruiwen: there will be frets on fire at ubuntu-sg's booth on sat
[1:43] <hyperair> on my notebook =p
[1:43] <ruiwen> hyperair: eh no idea.. don't have one
[1:43] <hyperair> haha
[1:43] <hyperair> i'll bring my usb keyboard
[1:43] <hyperair> it's probably good enough =p
[1:43] <elfgoh> well has dwu ever tried Frets on Fire using her guitar hero?
[1:44] <jmarki> who's the one who was trying to play guitar hero on his laptop?
[1:44] <ruiwen> nice =) I want photos of people jamming on a QWERTY
[1:44] <hyperair> hahaha
[1:44] <hyperair> didn't we have some last year?
[1:44] <hyperair> i mean we definitely did FoF last year, also on my notebook
[1:44] <ruiwen> ah
[1:44] <ruiwen> we weren't there =(
[1:44] <hyperair> oh yeah you weren't
[1:44] <hyperair> well at least this year you'll be =p
[1:44] <inimical> while we're promoting music games, why not promote stepmania?
[1:44] <elfgoh> ruiwen: we were saving for 2009
[1:44] <inimical> pity i didn't bring my dancepads to sg though
[1:44] <hyperair> get me an open source one
[1:45] <jmarki> hyperair: why are you watching haruhi suzumiya? it is lovey dovey?
[1:45] <hyperair> jmarki: i like the idea of a crazed nut going around shaping the world to her whims and fancies
[1:45] <ruiwen> inimical: stepmania is to DDR what FoF is to Guitar Hero?
[1:45] <inimical> yeap
[1:45] <inimical> http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Downloads
[1:45] <hyperair> =O
[1:45] <ruiwen> neat
[1:46] <hyperair> we need packages!
[1:46] <inimical> it's got a linux binary for download
[1:46] * hyperair nods
[1:46] * hyperair adds to todo list: package stepmania
[1:47] <hyperair> jmarki: hirano aya's an awesome singer as well, by the way.
[1:47] <ruiwen> ooh look jmarki, only 3MB of source code to compile
[1:48] <elfgoh> hyperair: i intend to showcase some FOSS games too
[1:48] <elfgoh> but haven't got down to deciding which ones
[1:48] <elfgoh> want to play HoN at SFD... but heh it is not FOSS
[1:48] <jmarki> hyperair: you sure it's not lovey dovey? i'm semi wondering whether to go watch it
[1:48] <hyperair> the bubble popping one
[1:48] <hyperair> jmarki: it isn't.
[1:48] <hyperair> jmarki: but lovey dovey anime are good to watch
[1:48] <jmarki> ruiwen: only 3MB!! fun...
[1:48] <inimical> jmarki: watch haruhi if you're addicted to japanese moe
[1:48] <hyperair> i just marathoned onegai sensei the other day. awesome stuff =p
[1:49] * jmarki found stepmania inside gentoo portage!
[1:49] <hyperair> moe would be bakemonogatari imo
[1:49] <hyperair> which has the best quotes i've ever seen in an anime
[1:51] <anom1> goodnight, tomorrow still have to sit through an entire day of lectures at Bugis library ...
[1:51] * anom1 is praying that the organisers won't throw him out.
[1:51] * anom1 (n=anom1@cm234.delta147.maxonline.com.sg) has left #linuxnus
[1:51] <jmarki> hyperair: i got scarred watching fruit basket, and flame of recca
[1:52] <inimical> jmarki: don't you think flame of recca was sorta dry
[1:52] <hyperair> eh fruit basket was an awesome anime
[1:52] <hyperair> what's flame of recca?
[1:52] <jmarki> hyperair: same as fruit basket
[1:52] <inimical> huh?
[1:52] <jmarki> both too sweet
[1:53] <hyperair> heh
[1:53] <inimical> flame of recca was sweet?
[1:53] <hyperair> ginban kaleidoscope ftw
[1:53] <hyperair> jmarki: what a bitter person you are
[1:53] <inimical> wait, anime discussions belong on irc.rizon.net
[1:53] <ruiwen> !seen dqminh
[1:53] <megan_> I last saw dqminh on Thu Sep 17 20:07:43 2009.
[1:53] <jmarki> inimical: yah.... there's only 1 action scene in the entire anime. the one where the big ones fight
[1:54] <hyperair> hmm so you prefer action anime eh?
[1:54] <inimical> i thought flame of recca was mostly fighting
[1:54] <jmarki> inimical: else it's "aww, i like you, so i will stay here while you try to kick some ass"
[1:55] <jmarki> hyperair: yah.... which is getting rare... =(
[1:55] <hyperair> hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[1:55] <hyperair> this fall has darker than black
[1:55] <inimical> jmarki: good action anime is rare
[1:55] <hyperair> which looks promising
[1:55] <inimical> hyperair: isn't DtB finished
[1:55] <inimical> the anime that is
[1:56] <jmarki> hyperair: DtB is nice...
[1:56] <hyperair> inimical: no, there's a new season coming up this fall.
[1:56] <hyperair> inimical: which is just round the corner
[1:56] <hyperair> http://chartfag.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/fall-2009-v2-export1.jpg
[1:56] <jmarki> hyperair: COOL!!!
[1:56] <hyperair> =D
[1:56] <inimical> hyperair: great. i thought it was ended when they started manga-ing it
[1:56] <hyperair> =D
[1:57] <jmarki> inuyasha's finally ending!
[1:57] <hyperair> well i still need to get round to watching the first bits
[1:57] <hyperair> what i'd really like to see is a continuation to fma =.=
[1:57] <inimical> jmarki: you watch inuyasha?
[1:57] <hyperair> they never finished covering the light novels' plot
[1:57] <hyperair> er fmp
[1:57] <hyperair> full metal panic
[1:57] <inimical> hyperair: you watch fma brotherhood yet?
[1:57] <inimical> oh fmp
[1:57] <jmarki> inimical: i think of the 7 years of inuyasha, and decided not to...
[1:57] <hyperair> inimical: been following it.
[1:57] <jmarki> fma brotherhood is nice!!
[1:58] <hyperair> inimical: very awesome.
[1:58] <hyperair> and promising because it's following the manga storyline
[1:58] <inimical> jmarki: inuyasha can be summarized as(get beaten, get stronger, get beaten by stronger opponent)
[1:58] <inimical> and repeat ad infinitum
[1:59] <hyperair> sounds like bleach
[1:59] <hyperair> xD
[1:59] <hyperair> but bleach is still quite fun to watch
[1:59] <hyperair> particularly the recent filler
[1:59] <jmarki> inimical: every action anime is like that. unless it slips into a lovey dovey plot later
[1:59] <hyperair> "I see you still have diarrhea of the mouth" win
[1:59] <inimical> bleach is different, it's (i'm never gonna die no matter how you kill me)
[1:59] <jmarki> hyperair: yeah. that's classic
[1:59] <hyperair> inimical: very true. very very true.
[1:59] <yq> ruiwen:
[2:00] <hyperair> jmarki: it had me laughing my head off for the rest of the episode
[2:01] <elfgoh> @coreteam etherpad updated with the whiteboard photos: http://etherpad.com/zOMT8XbHdu
[2:01] <ruiwen> yes yq?
[2:01] * hyperair is considering watching d.gray man
[2:02] * jmarki is re-watching d.gray man out of sheer boredom
[2:02] <hyperair> =O
[2:02] * hyperair considers marathoning dtb tomorrow night
[2:02] <jmarki> ooo.... asura crying'2 promising...
[2:02] <yq> ruiwen: whats the plan for sfd like?
[2:02] * inimical just wants the mangaka for d.gray man to come back already
[2:03] <hyperair> jmarki: did you watch the first one?
[2:03] <jmarki> hyperair: isn't sfd and mid terms coming?!
[2:03] <jmarki> nope... haven't watched the first... is it lovey dovey?
[2:03] <hyperair> jmarki: i'm staring at a one-week long recess week.
[2:03] <ruiwen> yq: see the etherpad elfgoh just posted
[2:03] <hyperair> jmarki: the week after next,
[2:03] <hyperair> jmarki: maybe i'll just download it all from some streaming site and marathon it on the bus. yeah that sounds like a good idea.
[2:04] <ruiwen> elfgoh: you take care of stuff at nat lib side? i'll bring the others from nus
[2:04] <inimical> i should marathon it too, i have the complete collection sitting around for weeks now
[2:04] <hyperair> jmarki: there isn't much romance in it, though there are hints of it. mostly fighting
[2:04] <jmarki> hyperair: sshh.... we don't talk no d/ling stuff here... that's for rizon
[2:04] <hyperair> right right
[2:04] <hyperair> =p
[2:04] <elfgoh> ruiwen: what stuff do I need to take care other than gather our people at our booth?
[2:04] <hyperair> jmarki: but when you think about it, all i'm doing is buffering it beforehand, and keeping the flvs ;-)
[2:04] <jmarki> hyperair: you are going home next week?
[2:05] <hyperair> jmarki: week after.
[2:05] <elfgoh> ruiwen: btw did Guan Sin send out the SFD publicity mail?
[2:05] <hyperair> jmarki: er exactly one week + 2 days from now
[2:06] * jmarki is considering watching asura cryin'
[2:06] <hyperair> go watch lah. it's not bad
[2:06] <ruiwen> elfgoh: set up the booth, table chairs, power points and what not
[2:06] <hyperair> oh to aru majutsu no index was also very awesome
[2:06] <inimical> watch shugo chara for relaxation
[2:06] <elfgoh> ruiwen: if i am not mistaken, our flyer didn't have a date time.... and neither did our email
[2:06] <inimical> its kinda childish but meh
[2:06] <hyperair> and the sequel, to aru kagaku no railgun is also very awesome (read the manga)
[2:06] <hyperair> inimical: hahaha i watch it too
[2:06] <elfgoh> ruiwen: i see is Angand going there straight?
[2:07] <elfgoh> ruiwen: would want to get him involved
[2:07] <hyperair> inimical: if only for listening to mizuki nana sing.
[2:07] <inimical> hyperair: i've been following the manga, anime any good?
[2:07] <ruiwen> elfgoh: angad, inimical, and i presume dqminh, i'll meet at nus
[2:07] <hyperair> inimical: shugo chara? pretty good.
[2:07] <inimical> singing aside
[2:07] <ruiwen> since they all stay on/near campus
[2:07] <jmarki> inimical: eek!! looks too sweet!
[2:07] <hyperair> inimical: but the singing is <3
[2:07] <elfgoh> ruiwen: i see
[2:08] <elfgoh> ruiwen: hmmm who's meeting me there again?
[2:08] <inimical> jmarki: its a sweet anime mostly, nobody even gets hurt during fighting
[2:08] <ruiwen> elfgoh: from the looks of it.... um..
[2:08] <elfgoh> ruiwen: the other justin and who else?
[2:08] <ruiwen> yq: you can meet elfgoh at nat lib on sat morn?
[2:08] <ruiwen> jmarki: ?
[2:08] <jmarki> inimical: eh.... okay... too sweet then. even basilisk was not that bad. O.o
[2:08] <hyperair> inimical: no, tadase gets pretty beaten up from time to time. but you never see any lasting wounds, let alone any blood
[2:09] * jmarki thinks he's too immune to gore after kill bill 1
[2:09] <elfgoh> yq: jmarki let me know whether you coming? More for accounting and planning purposes
[2:09] <inimical> hyperair: their idea of beaten up is showing the guy all tired out at most
[2:09] <hyperair> inimical: eh plus loads of bruises
[2:09] <jmarki> elfgoh: i'll try to come over in the morning. will have late night on friday, so not sure what time yet
[2:09] <hyperair> or cuts that you get from falling down
[2:10] <hyperair> jmarki: oh yeah, go watch senjou no valkyria.
[2:10] <inimical> hyperair: the cat guy, what's his name again
[2:10] <inimical> hyperair: he did get open wounds in one chapter of the manga though
[2:10] <hyperair> inimical: ehm.. ikuto.
[2:10] <hyperair> yeah he did
[2:10] <hyperair> in the anime as well
[2:10] <yq> elfgoh: i can go after 12
[2:10] <hyperair> erm nothing serious though
[2:10] <elfgoh> jmarki: ngiin did my email open a pandora's box? so quiet lol
[2:10] <yq> actually might reach at 1plus.. have eml in the morning
[2:11] <hyperair> jmarki: and bakemonogatari.
[2:11] <elfgoh> yq: i see np
[2:12] <jmarki> hyperair: how the hell did you remember all the names?!
[2:12] <ruiwen> inimical: could you get the power strips from the room on saturday before meeting at science?
[2:12] <inimical> oh great gg subs bakemonogatari
[2:12] * hyperair grumbles at git fsck which has been running for the past 5 hours.
[2:13] * inimical wanders off to get it
[2:13] <hyperair> jmarki: learn a little japanese.
[2:13] <ruiwen> hyperair: that's quite long
[2:13] <hyperair> jmarki: senjou = battlefield. bakemono = monster, monogatari = story.
[2:13] <hyperair> oh yeah phantom ~requiem for the phantom~ or something of that sort is a very good watch as well
[2:14] <inimical> i wish umineko would release faster
[2:14] <ruiwen> inimical: heh you could also drag angad along for company and maybe show him the room too if you want =p
[2:14] <hyperair> discounting the strange op/ed sequence
[2:14] <jmarki> hyperair: i can't even get my english spelling straight...
[2:14] <inimical> if anything it looks to be more epic than higurashi
[2:14] <hyperair> jmarki: hahahaha. =D
[2:14] <inimical> ruiwen: but of course, he agreed to be our slave mule for the day :D
[2:14] <hyperair> jmarki: when you scan rss feeds for familiar titles, you tend to begin remembering their names.
[2:14] <ruiwen> haha
[2:14] <inimical> jmarki: get a posting on engrishfunny.org to prove it
[2:14] <hyperair> jmarki: at least the to aru ones took me some time to remember.
[2:15] <inimical> i mean engrishfunny.com* sorry
[2:15] <jmarki> hyperair: there are rss feeds for anime releases?
[2:16] <hyperair> jmarki: for certain sites. watchanimeon.com, anime-media.com, gogoanime.com
[2:16] <hyperair> jmarki: animesuki.com as well
[2:16] <hyperair> the first three provide streaming, the last provides torrents
[2:16] <inimical> it's easier to lurk around anime forums
[2:16] <inimical> then look for sub groups on myanimelist
[2:16] <elfgoh> yq: jmarki ok steady. I see you guys at those times then
[2:17] <hyperair> that's if you're searching for new anime. i'm searching for new episodes of anime i'm following
[2:17] <jmarki> elfgoh: okay
[2:17] * elfgoh will start SFD by playing HoN
[2:17] <inimical> elfgoh: but it isn't opensource :D
[2:17] <elfgoh> inimical: yea but it runs on an open source os ~tadah~
[2:17] <jmarki> hyperair: i'm trying to filter out lovey dovey, non fighting anime. =D
[2:17] <inimical> hyperair: bakemonogatari hasn't finished airing?
[2:18] <jmarki> inimical: elfgoh runs opera too. so HoN is the same the par for him
[2:18] <inimical> jmarki: shugo chara might melt your cynical heart
[2:18] <inimical> ah, opera
[2:18] <hyperair> inimical: it hasn't.
[2:18] <elfgoh> OPERA 10!
[2:18] <hyperair> jmarki: to aru majutsu no index has loads of fighting.
[2:18] <hyperair> jmarki: and same goes for its sequel
[2:19] <jmarki> yeah!! #linuxnus is an anime channel too
[2:19] <hyperair> jmarki: senjou no valkyria has some lovey dovey business, but it's basically an anime about war.
[2:19] <elfgoh> wow we are HoN and anime and geeks
[2:19] <elfgoh> BEAT that! #ntuoss
[2:19] <hyperair> jmarki: + fantasy elements.
[2:19] <inimical> elfgoh: the 3 words go hand in hand
[2:19] <hyperair> elfgoh: screw you >=(
[2:20] <hyperair> jmarki: bakemonogatari has all the gore you love so much
[2:20] * jmarki thinks: hmm... no anime discussion on #ntuoss
[2:20] <hyperair> it's the same community at the end of the day =.=
[2:20] <inimical> seems fansubs for bakemonogatari out till ep 10
[2:20] * jmarki recommends basilisk. all the gore in spurts and splashes. body parts flying too
[2:21] * inimical starts to create lag on the NUS network
[2:21] <hyperair> inimical: that's right
[2:21] <inimical> unrelated topic: any idea what's nus' bandwidth ceiling?
[2:22] <hyperair> hellsing!
[2:22] <hyperair> or rather, hellsing ultimate
[2:22] <jmarki> sshh... no talking about fans*bs here... funimation on the prowl!
[2:22] <inimical> jmarki: sue me
[2:23] <inimical> umineko!
[2:23] <inimical> murder mystery anime by Key is great
[2:23] <jmarki> inimical: no... it's not about suing. it's about ensuring our fave subs still subs
[2:23] <hyperair> hahahaha
[2:24] <inimical> hmm...we haven't talked about any funimation-licensed anime right
[2:24] <jmarki> eek! late! have to sleep. going sfd later
[2:24] <ruiwen> remind me in 9 hours to ask dqminh about the posters
[2:24] <marice_nus> ruiwen: Okay, I'll remind you about that on Fri Sep 18 11:24:42 SGT 2009
[2:24] <jmarki> inimical: i don't know. do you ever keep track? bleach?
[2:24] <inimical> jmarki: to be honest i can't be bothered
[2:25] <jmarki> elfgoh: i'm not stunned by that email. but it's late, so my brain's on fun things
[2:25] <inimical> what's on SFD tomorrow though
[2:25] <inimical> talks?
[2:25] <elfgoh> hyperair: you will get there. The early days of #linuxnus was just me and some bots
[2:26] <jmarki> yeah. more software for sme/tartups kind of talks
[2:26] <hyperair> elfgoh: how did you get people to hang out in irc? the ntuoss folks seem to think that irc is a waste of time =\
[2:26] <inimical> jmarki: interesting, i'll pop in for awhile after 10
[2:26] <elfgoh> inimical: see softwarefreedomday.sg for the schedule
[2:26] <jmarki> inimical: the fosa.sg page has the agenda
[2:27] <inimical> thanks
[2:27] <elfgoh> hyperair: you should ask jmarki and ruiwen
[2:27] <hyperair> O_o
[2:27] <elfgoh> I am also not too sure how i convinced them
[2:27] <inimical> afking in irc is a good way to pickup random bits of information
[2:27] <elfgoh> They too thought that it was a complete was of time
[2:27] * jmarki is always on irc on and off since 2000
[2:28] <ruiwen> elfgoh: if i thought it was a complete waste of time i would never have had registered the channel =)
[2:28] <inimical> i should probably lurk on #ntuoss and #ubuntu-sg too
[2:28] <ruiwen> elfgoh: and no, i didn't come back because of you, sorry to disappoint =P
[2:28] <ngiin> hyperair: it's a good *cyberplace* to hang out...
[2:29] <hyperair> whee.
[2:29] <elfgoh> jmarki: ruiwen perhaps I had the wrong impression. But well I think 2 of you did say it is a boring place with only elfgoh and his bots....
[2:29] <inimical> whoa #ubuntu-sg is rather empty
[2:29] * ngiin is now known as ngiin_dreaming
[2:29] <elfgoh> so it baffles me how come you 2 are now channel regulars
[2:29] <jmarki> inimical: and #slugnet. I, me, and myself gets a bit lonely there
[2:29] <elfgoh> jmarki: live with it
[2:29] <elfgoh> LUGS is a goner. where the **** is the agm minutes
[2:30] <elfgoh> the only reason i am not bumping that email thread is because this weekend is SFD
[2:30] <inimical> irc is dying >.>
[2:30] <elfgoh> :D
[2:30] <jmarki> inimical: #slugnet was more populated in 2004-2005
[2:30] <ngiin_dreaming> elfgoh: why are you soliciting for gay statements from jmarki and ruiwen to openly declare that they are in this channel for you...
[2:30] <inimical> what was it about
[2:30] <inimical> singapore linux user grp?
[2:30] <elfgoh> ngiin_dreaming: WTF
[2:30] <elfgoh> ngiin_dreaming: you rather I talk abotu sisters?
[2:31] <inimical> ngiin_dreaming: nice conversation derailment
[2:31] <ngiin_dreaming> elfgoh: i'll keep my mouth shurt...
[2:31] <ruiwen> elfgoh: it was quiet with you and your bots, yes =) but i'm sorry it wasn't you
[2:31] <jmarki> inimical: singapore linux user group, aka LUGS
[2:31] <inimical> jmarki: it's totally empty...
[2:32] <inimical> jmarki: the group died out or something?
[2:32] <elfgoh> hyperair: I think the trick is to start with some bots to make the channel seem populated
[2:32] <jmarki> inimical: the irc folks grew up, and left. =(
[2:32] <elfgoh> Lady bots seemed to work
[2:32] * jmarki rotfl
[2:32] <inimical> jmarki: i didn't know irc was for youths only
[2:33] <inimical> elfgoh: anyone with brains to /whois would know they were bots
[2:33] * ngiin_dreaming claps for inimical....
[2:33] <jmarki> inimical: well, the rest are like late 20s to early 30s, by now
[2:33] <elfgoh> inimical: you will be surprise how many brainless people are around in this world
[2:33] * jmarki feels old
[2:33] <hyperair> elfgoh: hahahah
[2:33] <elfgoh> inimical: and I am not kidding you
[2:34] * inimical looks for more ubuntu-** channels to lurk in
[2:34] <elfgoh> hyperair: then after elfgoh and bots... it was jamestyj
[2:35] <elfgoh> hyperair: and after constant nagging/whining/threatening..... i think more of the coreteam members became regulars
[2:35] <hyperair> haha
[2:35] * ngiin_dreaming is thinking how to set elfgoh up with some chicks in the bar.....
[2:35] <inimical> remind me in 9001 hours to see if this channel still lives
[2:35] <marice_nus> inimical: Okay, I'll remind you about that on Tue Sep 28 03:35:39 SGT 2010
[2:35] * ngiin_dreaming realised that he is dreaming....
[2:35] <elfgoh> hyperair: you really need to be quite shameless.... like msn them in the middle of nowhere.. saying there is an interesting conversation going on.. or new guy in the channel
[2:36] <elfgoh> or fb chat..
[2:36] <inimical> elfgoh: well i lurk channels often so no nagging required
[2:36] * ngiin_dreaming is now known as ngiin
[2:36] <elfgoh> hyperair: Then once in a while paste some interesting logs/chat snippets
[2:36] <inimical> oh the sleeper awakens
[2:36] <jmarki> ngiin: can't dream no more?
[2:37] <ngiin> on a serious notes, elfgoh seems to exhibit all qualities of a pick-up master in his act to get more folks into the channel.....
[2:37] <jmarki> okay. sleep time... more anime to watch! wee~
[2:37] <inimical> ngiin: for all his efforts, only one girl afk's in here
[2:37] * inimical hides from elfgoh's wrath
[2:38] <elfgoh> inimical: I can get a sex change op done on you to falsify that last statement
[2:38] <ngiin> inimical: it's because he never try hard enuff to practice all that in the physical world...
[2:39] <inimical> elfgoh: tempting offer. do it on ngiin
[2:39] * ngiin is very very curious that elfgoh can be a great womanizer if he chooses to.....
[2:39] <ngiin> inimical: don't try to be funny...
[2:39] <elfgoh> hyperair: telling people it is a chat instead of irc can be helpful.. so will showing them interesting bots
[2:40] <inimical> read: ladybots
[2:40] <elfgoh> hyperair: eg we are accessible at http://linuxnus.org/chat
[2:40] * ruiwen (n=ruiwen@bb220-255-134-56.singnet.com.sg) Quit ("Leaving.")
[2:40] <elfgoh> inimical: i was referring to our reminder bot and mbot
[2:40] <jmarki> oh man.... i read it as "show gals there are some bots in the channel"
[2:40] * ngiin is now known as ngiin_sleep
[2:40] * jmarki is now known as jmarki|afk
[2:41] <inimical> elfgoh: that girl who was at the installfest just now came in
[2:41] <inimical> for a total of...1 minute
[2:41] <elfgoh> ngiin_sleep: interestingly i heard some of my ancestors were womanizers... but i shall not elaborate further
[2:41] <hyperair> hmmmm
[2:41] <inimical> elfgoh: do elaborate, cool stories are always welcomed
[2:41] * elfgoh peeks at the logs
[2:42] <ngiin_sleep> elfgoh: backtrack: ur mail is not a pandora box...
[2:42] <ngiin_sleep> elfgoh: pandora box is a good thing, cos' there's hope!
[2:42] <elfgoh> inimical: wrong logs says that lingxue came for 5 min in all
[2:43] <inimical> elfgoh: ah, a deviation of 4 minutes from the mean time
[2:43] <ngiin_sleep> elfgoh: re whiteboard contents, no delete 'join us' maybe took picture at wrong state...
[2:43] <elfgoh> Anyway who's the son of a **** who type the sqeeeee on my lappie in IRC just now?
[2:44] <elfgoh> ngiin_sleep: oh yes now i remember?
[2:44] * jmarki|afk still can't understand the squeeee thingy
[2:45] <inimical> jmarki|afk: an expression of delight i think
[2:45] * jmarki|afk tries. maybe it will get him to watch some lovey dovey anime
[2:45] <jmarki|afk> *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
[2:46] <jmarki|afk> nope. didn't work
[2:46] <inimical> please don't, it'll wake everyone and your uncle up
[2:46] <inimical> jmarki|afk: your E's aren't enough
[2:46] <jmarki|afk> eek... must go....
[2:46] <jmarki|afk> *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
[2:46] <inimical> there needs to be enough to trigger freenode's flood protection
[2:46] <jmarki|afk> *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
[2:46] <inimical> go on
[2:46] <inimical> you can do it
[2:47] <jmarki|afk> O.o
[2:47] * jmarki|afk feels baited
[2:47] * inimical is now known as ini|away
[2:47] <jmarki|afk> *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[2:47] <jmarki|afk> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
[2:47] <jmarki|afk> nay... whahahah
[2:47] <hyperair> ...what.
[2:48] <hyperair> you do not want me to write a script to squee this channel endlessly. >=(
[2:48] <ini|away> jmarki|afk: thanks for the laughter
[2:48] * jmarki|afk is still roftl
[2:49] <hyperair> /exec -out yes "*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*"
[2:49] <elfgoh> so?
[2:49] <jmarki|afk> bathe... tata all
[2:49] <ini|away> hyperair: i could make an infinite squee loop in mirc
[2:49] <ngiin_sleep> sometimes i wonder, if the folks in this channel is a little like those characters in the webtv series "the guild"...
[2:49] <hyperair> ini|away: i could just run that command and spam the channel endlessly
[2:49] <ini|away> got to go, good night all
[2:50] <elfgoh> hyperair: you really don't want to do that... You will be offending 20+ geeks here
[2:50] <elfgoh> You don't want to know what they can do to you
[2:50] <hyperair> hmph
[2:50] <hyperair> i'm behind a firewall i can't get around from inside. what could you possibly do, short of bringing down the whole NTU firewall?
[2:50] <hyperair> by the way, i'll be very grateful if you do that
[2:51] <elfgoh> hyperair: I am probably the one you should worry least about, but I can't say for the same for the rest here... or would you rather find out :D
[2:52] <hyperair> i'm lazy to have to force-kill irssi
[2:52] <elfgoh> hyperair: believe me when I say >1 geeks > 1 geek
[2:52] <ini|away> squee-ing aside, nus network users are actually rather exposed to the net
[2:52] <hyperair> ?
[2:53] <ini|away> if they have open nonstandard ports
[2:53] <hyperair> well that's nice
[2:53] <hyperair> i have open nonstandard ports which i'm lazy to close
[2:53] <hyperair> some NFS related stuff
[2:53] <hyperair> and tftpd
[2:54] <ini|away> the ip websites get from me is 137.132.250.14
[2:55] <ini|away> but my computer can be contacted at 137.132.194.97
[2:55] <ini|away> hmm.
[2:55] <hyperair> /whois says so
[2:55] <hyperair> the latter address, that is
[2:55] <ini|away> yeah
[2:56] <ini|away> which means students can run servers of their own in nus
[2:58] <hyperair> that's nice
[2:59] * ngiin_sleep (i=daba0bfa@gateway/web/freenode/x-xdqvvjqjblnkiaan) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[3:02] * elfgoh forgot to tell all that jmarki|afk has agreed to conduct a hardcore sysadmin course
[3:02] <hyperair> ei come over to ntu and give one as well
[3:03] <ini|away> elfgoh: really?
[3:03] <hyperair> where?
[3:03] <hyperair> when?
[3:03] * hyperair is interested
[3:03] <elfgoh> ini|away: no kidding
[3:03] <elfgoh> hyperair: before end of 2009 i think
[3:03] <hyperair> where/when!
[3:03] <hyperair> woo
[3:03] <elfgoh> NUS duh
[3:03] <hyperair> hopefully i can make it =D
[3:04] <elfgoh> date to be confirmed
[3:04] <ini|away> elfgoh: that'd be one heck of a course
[3:04] <hyperair> indeed.
[3:04] <elfgoh> jmarki|afk: :p
[3:04] <hyperair> but can you get the audience for it?
[3:04] <ini|away> see i knew he meant (no, kidding)
[3:05] <hyperair> ..
[3:05] <elfgoh> hyperair: ask him. He is more worried about getting a lot of n00bs then a few real techies
[3:05] <hyperair> elfgoh: that's what i figured.
[3:05] <elfgoh> He is already thinking of the entrance tests for the course
[3:05] <ini|away> elfgoh: the waiting list of the course would be very long if it was blasted thru mailing lists
[3:06] <hyperair> elfgoh: we (yiwen and i) conducted a linux course kinda thing in NTU
[3:06] <hyperair> basic bash was all we could teach
[3:06] <ini|away> sudo sudo sudo
[3:06] <hyperair> and even then i think the audience was pretty overwhelmed
[3:06] <hyperair> no sudo access
[3:06] <hyperair> the machines didn't belong to us
[3:06] * yq (n=chatzill@121.7.187.162) Quit ("ChatZilla 0.9.85 [Firefox-3.5 3.5.2/20090803142520]")
[3:07] <hyperair> which also naturally meant no package management
[3:07] <hyperair> only userspace things
[3:07] <hyperair> also no fancy chroot or mounting/unmounting stuff
[3:07] <ini|away> what commands did you cover?
[3:07] <ini|away> i'm a linux noob
[3:07] <hyperair> the usual ones you use
[3:07] <hyperair> cp/mv/ls
[3:07] <hyperair> du/df
[3:07] <hyperair> stat
[3:08] <ini|away> oh okay
[3:08] <hyperair> and some scripting
[3:08] <hyperair> there's also test
[3:08] <hyperair> and ping
[3:08] <elfgoh> hyperair: couldn't you setup vms?
[3:08] <ini|away> stuff thats present in windows command prompt too
[3:08] <hyperair> elfgoh: no.
[3:08] <hyperair> elfgoh: no VM software installed.
[3:08] <elfgoh> hyperair: hmmm i thought qemu can run on its own as a exe?
[3:08] <hyperair> those are fedora machines
[3:08] <hyperair> very locked down
[3:08] <elfgoh> maybe it was some other..
[3:09] <hyperair> granted, i could probably set up some sort of shell service VM on my notebook.
[3:09] <hyperair> and then have everyone ssh in
[3:09] <ini|away> that'd work
[3:09] <hyperair> but i didn't think of that at the time
[3:09] <hyperair> oh well
[3:10] <ini|away> that way you could even get them to use their own windows laptops
[3:10] <hyperair> true
[3:10] <hyperair> we had them VNC into the presenting machine, because the ones behind could not see
[3:10] <elfgoh> hyperair: i mean next time you run into these problems.. could just ask around in here
[3:10] <elfgoh> more heads are better than one!
[3:11] <hyperair> i did pop around in here about it actually
[3:11] <ini|away> oh btw hyperair sorry for insulting ntuoss
[3:11] <hyperair> nah no problem
[3:11] <hyperair> we're still picking up the pieces after all
[3:12] <elfgoh> ini|away: !
[3:13] * elfgoh slaps ini|away
[3:13] * ini|away hides
[3:13] * jmarki|afk thinks entrance tests should include installing slackware/arch/gentoo/sourcemage
[3:13] <hyperair> jmarki|afk: HELL NO
[3:13] <ini|away> ...what
[3:13] <jmarki|afk> =)
[3:13] <hyperair> no actually archlinux is fine
[3:13] <hyperair> gentoo.. hell no
[3:14] <jmarki|afk> basic install....
[3:14] <hyperair> sourcemage i haven't seen, slackware either
[3:14] <hyperair> debian!
[3:14] <hyperair> debian > *
[3:14] <jmarki|afk> nonono... debian installation is easy
[3:14] <hyperair> not if you don't have a good internet connection
[3:14] <ini|away> jmarki|afk: corrupt hard drives in creative ways and have the participants bring along their preferred recovery tools to fix them
[3:14] <hyperair> i had to netboot and cp -a via nFS
[3:14] <hyperair> NFS*
[3:15] <jmarki|afk> but it's not a live test... it's a 1 week go install and show results test
[3:15] <hyperair> ah
[3:15] <hyperair> i see
[3:15] <hyperair> that makes sense
[3:15] <elfgoh> jmarki|afk: maybe live test a net install
[3:15] <hyperair> live test a netbook.
[3:15] <hyperair> netboot*
[3:15] <elfgoh> jmarki|afk: you can throw in preseeding
[3:16] <jmarki|afk> preseeding is easy... =/
[3:16] * hyperair has never used preseed before
[3:16] <elfgoh> jmarki|afk: easy but not common knowledge
[3:17] <jmarki|afk> only sysmins would use preseed. the thought of lots of machines to install consistently is horrifying
[3:17] <ini|away> jmarki|afk: i heard you took time to prepare preseed for the installfest
[3:17] <jmarki|afk> ini|away: no one wants leh....
[3:17] <ini|away> is preseeding for creating unattended installs?
[3:18] <elfgoh> ini|away: i said no because it was still untested and unrehearsed as of D-1
[3:18] <elfgoh> afaik
[3:18] <jmarki|afk> elfgoh: the aim is to show interest in the deeper parts of linux and mastery of some commandline. not knowledge. knowledge is easy
[3:18] <ini|away> ah
[3:18] <jmarki|afk> i rehearsed!! on both desktop and alternate!!
[3:19] <ini|away> not enough turnout to warrant using preseed perhaps
[3:19] <jmarki|afk> yeah
[3:19] <elfgoh> jmarki|afk: when?
[3:19] <jmarki|afk> last night. =p
[3:20] <elfgoh> jmarki|afk: then F*** you understand
[3:20] <elfgoh> that was a joke btw :)
[3:20] <ini|away> how many people got ubuntu installed on their boxes today
[3:20] <ini|away> 5?
[3:21] <jmarki|afk> lalalala... preseed is cool... will try kickstart fedora later
[3:21] <elfgoh> ini|away: yea
[3:21] <jmarki|afk> okay... sleep

[14:36] <strohi> every time, sitting there i flame on windows and explain how stupid this is i must do to the stuff work :D
[14:36] <strohi> yea ... but on the other hand .. it makes no fun to be her personal firstlevel supporter on fone ;)
[14:37] <strohi> she has some weird english-german translaters and skilltraining apps ...
[14:38] <inimical> strohi: you're troubleshooting over the phone?
[14:38] <strohi> the one is some stupid translation checking app .. and it needs the CD in the drive for start

[14:38] <strohi> inimical, :,(
[14:38] <strohi> its terrible
[14:38] <elfgoh__> strohi: i see. perhaps you coukd give playonlinux a go
[14:38] <strohi> my other grandparents runs an ubuntu (8.04) and grandpa calls only, when he forgott something with openoffice x)
[14:39] <strohi> sry i didnt understand elfgoh__
[14:40] <elfgoh__> strohi: playonlinux is a frontend for wine that allows you to manage different win applications running different versions of wine without hassle
[14:40] <strohi> ouh nice
[14:40] * elfgoh__ is now known as elfgoh_cell
[14:41] <strohi> i thougt about to makes easy to run an virtual windows :D
[14:41] <inimical> microsoft office apparently hates the sun odf converter add-in
[14:41] <elfgoh_cell> strohi: yes i was about to suggest having a windows vm within linux too
[14:42] <strohi> the last time i spotted out a manual/learning book "internet with IE6.0" O.o
[14:42] <inimical> i'd like to see the table of contents of that book
[14:42] <strohi> the other problem, she bought som avm/fritzbox equipment for dsl/wireless .. and this usbwlan dongle had no opensource driver
[14:43] <strohi> hehe i can do some notes/pics tomorrow inimical
[14:43] <inimical> strohi: just curious what it could possibly teach
[14:44] <strohi> some stupid webmail with AOL oder web.de i think
[14:44] <inimical> strohi: buy her a dongle that does have one then ;)
[14:44] <strohi> i hate usb wlan dongles ;)
[14:44] <inimical> i kind of like those tiny ones from netgear
[14:44] <strohi> at work i had test some linksys dongles .. "really got" .. is some kind different
[14:44] <inimical> which are almost invisible once you plug it into a usb port
[14:45] <strohi> hm, damn i need to get wlan work on this notebook
[14:45] <inimical> well my atheros internal wlan card is fubared for some reason
[14:45] <inimical> gets errors on half of the packets it sends
[14:46] <strohi> the atheros in my samsung nc10 is "lost"
[14:46] <inimical> lost?
[14:46] <elfgoh_cell> strohi: the avm/fritz might work with ndiswrapper. a google search seems to say so
[14:46] <strohi> it is physical there .. the madwifi semes to run, too .. but the networkmanager show no wlanstuff
[14:47] <strohi> elfgoh_cell, i have the first generation usb stick in my old-crap-box :D
[14:47] <inimical> try manually scanning for networks with iwlist?
[14:47] <strohi> hm, i cant remember
[14:47] <strohi> on 60% there ethernet ... the rest of the time umts ;)
[14:48] <elfgoh_cell> strohi: so this won't work? http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/browse/product+avm-fritzwlan-usb-stick?id=6539
[14:50] <strohi> the big problem was some month ago, in linux 2.6.24 they changed the driver interface, that only gpl drivers are allowed
[14:50] <strohi> and thes driver ist not really opensource, the firmware is closed
[14:52] <strohi> maybe i bag some diffent linuxlivecds for tomorrow :)
[14:53] <elfgoh_cell> strohi when was the last time you tried to ge that working?
[14:53] <strohi> with an 2.6.24 or .25 kernel
[14:54] <elfgoh_cell> i think 2.6.24 is around on year old at least?
[14:54] <strohi> on 25c3 i think
[14:54] <strohi> yea ;)
[14:54] <strohi> do you know the c3 event?
[14:55] <elfgoh_cell> at yesterday's intallfest my friend's laptop ran flawlessly off ubnuntu unkike on year ago. maybe you will get lucky :)
