[1:55] <elfgoh> hello vcvg. Long time no see
[1:56] <triplez> hi ruiwen
[1:56] <triplez> hi elfgoh
[1:57] <elfgoh> Sorry i was out the whole day
[1:58] <elfgoh> ruiwen: wouldn't thumbtacks spoil the posters?
[1:58] <strohi> wb elfgoh
[1:58] <ruiwen> elfgoh: hm yeah, just little holes in the corner i guess
[1:59] <ruiwen> elfgoh: do we have another way of mounting posters?
[1:59] <ruiwen> hello triplez
[1:59] <triplez> bluetac?
[1:59] <elfgoh> ruiwen: for my fyp there was this velcro that was stuck on the back of my poster
[1:59] * triplez slobbers all over elfgoh
[1:59] <elfgoh> they stuck really well on the stands
[2:00] <elfgoh> those could be bought from brash basah i think?
[2:00] <triplez> yes
[2:01] <ruiwen> elfgoh: hm yeah if we can get them, sure.. but are they worth it over the thumbtacks?
[2:01] * ruiwen hasn't done FYP poster presentation
[2:01] * vcvg (n=vincent@tu135007.ip.tsinghua.edu.cn) Quit ("Leaving")
[2:01] <elfgoh> ruiwen: yea they were
[2:01] <elfgoh> no holes
[2:02] <elfgoh> but can just bring the thumbtacks anyway
[2:02] <ruiwen> yup inimical's bringing i think
[2:02] <triplez> shouldn't you guys be sleeping?
[2:02] <elfgoh> btw is a 6 port multiplexer a switch?
[2:02] <elfgoh> triplez: I just got back from a birthday party
[2:02] <triplez> wah... so good
[2:03] <elfgoh> so ubuntu-sg's multiplexers is gone
[2:03] <ruiwen> i'm just wondering, we're bringing switch and router tomorrow, but we don't have any main connection to the net to hook those up to do we?
[2:03] <elfgoh> they need one tomorrow
[2:03] <ruiwen> well we do have our 16 port
[2:03] <elfgoh> ruiwen: hmm they might appreciate it
[2:04] <ruiwen> how many do they need? coz otherwise i have my little 4 port one
[2:04] <ruiwen> then we don't need to lug the 16 port over
[2:04] <elfgoh> ruiwen: 1-4 [prt
[2:04] <elfgoh> port
[2:05] <elfgoh> hyperair: ping
[2:05] <elfgoh> ziroday: ping
[2:06] <ruiwen> then again, since we do have transport to and fro...
[2:08] <inimical> do we get a lorry or something?
[2:09] <ruiwen> inimical: i think a pickup or something
[2:10] <jmarki> ruiwen: well, you won't need to lug the 16port one around
[2:10] <ruiwen> inimical: what time will you head to the room? wondering if we can get the transport to go there first before going to science
[2:13] <elfgoh> ruiwen: well they might not know where science is...
[2:14] <ruiwen> elfgoh: they do.. i think nus has worked with them before
[2:14] <elfgoh> ruiwen: i see then good
[2:14] <ruiwen> elfgoh: told the guy "S16" today, and he knew where
[2:14] * jmarki goes sleep. else he might not wake up till 6pm... too tired
[2:14] <elfgoh> jmarki: any clips for today's SFD talks? Are they uploaded?
[2:15] <jmarki> elfgoh: not digitalised or edited yet
[2:15] <elfgoh> inimical: ruiwen: btw... do not forget codeandroid banner
[2:15] <ruiwen> elfgoh: eh?
[2:15] <ruiwen> elfgoh: where's that? in the room too?
[2:15] <inimical> ruiwen: i'll be there around 8ish
[2:15] <elfgoh> ruiwen: yea inimical and I put it there
[2:16] <elfgoh> so freaking don't forget
[2:16] <elfgoh> ruiwen: didn't make sense for me to lug it home
[2:16] <jmarki> ruiwen: codeandroid coreteam settled planning for later?
[2:16] <ruiwen> hm okie
[2:17] <ruiwen> inimical: looks like a lot of stuff to carry from the room
[2:17] <ruiwen> inimical: i think maybe we'll pick the posters and stands from science first, then head over to the room to pick you and the rest of the stuff?
[2:17] <elfgoh> guys Zaki put a positive comment for installfest
[2:17] <ruiwen> yay
[2:18] <jmarki> ruiwen: are they professional movers? if so, they should have trolleys
[2:18] <jmarki> then inimical won't need to lug everything downstairs
[2:19] <inimical> so i'll head to linuxNUS' room instead of S16?
[2:19] <ruiwen> inimical: yup
[2:19] <ruiwen> jmarki: they're a professional logistics company i think
[2:20] <ruiwen> if they have trolleys, good, otherwise we can all chip in
[2:20] <hyperair> elfgoh: pong
[2:20] <elfgoh> strohi: so how did the wireless card config go?
[2:20] <jmarki> ruiwen inimical: yeah... should have trolley then
[2:20] <hyperair> when does the event begin tomorrow?
[2:20] <elfgoh> hyperair: saw supervivid 's email about spoilt router
[2:20] <ruiwen> hyperair: you guys need a switch for tomorrow?
[2:20] <hyperair> eh?
[2:20] <jmarki> hyperair: setup or event?
[2:20] <hyperair> elfgoh: what spoilt router? supervivid's not bringing a router
[2:21] <hyperair> jmarki: setup sorry
[2:21] <hyperair> ruiwen: ziroday's bringing a router
[2:21] <elfgoh> hyperair: oops i meant switch
[2:21] <elfgoh> hyperair: correct?
[2:21] <hyperair> ruiwen: i'm not sure if we'd need a switch on top of that.
[2:21] <hyperair> elfgoh: power multiplexer.
[2:21] <jmarki> hyperair: setup starts at 8.30am. kang and darrel meeting at darrel's office at 8am. tables reaching around 9am
[2:21] <hyperair> elfgoh: that doesn't have anything to do with networks. it just takes one power socket and give you 6.
[2:22] <hyperair> ...early.
[2:22] <jmarki> hyperair: we call it a power extension cord...
[2:22] <hyperair> when are you all going?
[2:22] <strohi> elfgoh, i droped the madwifi packages from the restricted drivers dialog, reboot ... and voilá a wlan0 if :)
[2:22] <elfgoh> hyperair: my bad i read 6 port power multiplexer
[2:22] <jmarki> "power multiplexer
[2:22] <jmarki> " sounds so cheem
[2:22] <elfgoh> it's the time of the night
[2:22] <elfgoh> hyperair: i somehow skipped power
[2:23] <elfgoh> strohi: congrats! Please give some linux goodness to your grandma :p
[2:23] <jmarki> hyperair: smu talks start at 10. so people *may* stream in early
[2:23] <strohi> :<
[2:24] <hyperair> jmarki: i'm asking when are you all going. not when everyone else is going.
[2:24] <jmarki> oh yah. banners/stands need to be secured. strong winds the entire friday
[2:24] <strohi> elfgoh, if i would can code ... it needs only a couple of hours to rewrite the half of these stupis translation/trainer app s :p
[2:24] <hyperair> i don't want to arrive early and sit around doing nothing
[2:25] <jmarki> hyperair: chey...
[2:25] <hyperair> ...why is everyone reading things wrongly tonight?
[2:25] <jmarki> hyperair: you can help man ntuoss+linuxnus+lxde+codeandroid booths then
[2:25] <jmarki> =D
[2:26] <jmarki> sleep!!

[2:27] <elfgoh> Btw who has LXDE on their laptops?
[2:27] <elfgoh> Mario requested me to showcase LXDE on mine
[2:27] <elfgoh> which isn't a problem
[2:27] <strohi> elfgoh, today i tried out farsightlinux
[2:27] <elfgoh> except that it isn't updated enought
[2:28] <ruiwen> i don't, but i have VMs if need be
[2:28] <elfgoh> strohi: did you mean foresight?
[2:28] <strohi> < runs sometimes lxde
[2:28] <strohi> oh yea X.x
[2:28] * strohi had a lack of sleep
[2:28] <elfgoh> ruiwen: would be nice to have that since we Mario is just one guy
[2:29] <ruiwen> eh.
[2:29] <ruiwen> who's bring external monitor tomorrow?
[2:29] <strohi> do you mean marioB elfgoh ?
[2:29] <elfgoh> ruiwen: I thought we were using Daniel's?
[2:29] <elfgoh> strohi: that's right. He is in Singapore right now
[2:29] <strohi> oh nice ... can you greet him from the stohi-guy with the thinkpad from 25c3? :)
[2:30] <ruiwen> elfgoh: thought so, though haven't heard anything more since the last one
[2:30] <strohi> there must be somewhere a picture of mine in the lxde blog ^^
[2:30] <elfgoh> ruiwen: perhaps an sms to him now will be prudent
[2:31] <elfgoh> I am sure that he has forgotten about it

[3:04] <anom1> elfgoh: giving the software or the thumbdrive?
[3:05] <inimical> last person to take the software from him gets the thumbdrive too
[3:05] <anom1> i can never understand how the young ones manage to get by with so little sleep. it's 5 hours from now till alarm clock time (unless you stay on campus).
[3:05] <elfgoh> anom1: unfortunately the gold mine i have been hunting for still appears elusive

[23:01] <concernedcitizen> I'm still trying to figure out how to write CAI NIAO

[23:01] <ini_mobile> thats ??
[23:01] <concernedcitizen> I can't read that, pidgin doesn't translate.
[23:02] <ini_mobile> it's vegetable + bird
[23:02] <concernedcitizen> and why is that 'noob'?
[23:02] <ini_mobile> it's their slang
[23:03] <hyperair> who is 3 sided cube?
[23:04] <ini_mobile> what's a 3 sided cube
[23:04] <concernedcitizen> a cube?
[23:04] <concernedcitizen> </comedy drumroll>
[23:04] <hyperair> hmmmm
[23:05] <hyperair> seems to be 3sidedcube.com
[23:05] <hyperair> following me on twitter. wtf?
[23:05] <ini_mobile> is that a shock site or something
[23:06] <hyperair> no idea
[23:06] <concernedcitizen> ogrish.com?
[23:06] <concernedcitizen> I think ogrish.com is the best thing to come on the internet since 2girls1cup.com
[23:07] <hyperair> ..
[23:07] <concernedcitizen> actually, wrong example.
[23:07] <concernedcitizen> since 2g1c is later.
[23:08] <ini_mobile> hon is preferable to 2g1c
[23:09] <concernedcitizen> why is HoN crashing 4 me nao
[23:09] <concernedcitizen> must be pidgin
[23:09] <ini_mobile> maybe cause arsenal goaled
[23:10] <hyperair> has anyone here registered a domain before?
[23:11] <concernedcitizen> sure
[23:11] <ini_mobile> yeah
[23:11] <concernedcitizen> man should i restart my hosting business
[23:11] <hyperair> i'm interested to know how it works. =\
[23:11] <hyperair> you register with some domain registrar, then what?
[23:11] <hyperair> how do you hook up your ns servers to your domain registrar?
[23:11] <concernedcitizen> in your control panel you can configure your domain
[23:11] <concernedcitizen> to point to your nameservers
[23:12] <hyperair> when you point to your nameservers, you enter in ip addresses?
[23:12] <concernedcitizen> yeah
[23:12] <concernedcitizen> but if you want to use your own domain name
[23:12] <hyperair> okay, that's what i wanted to know. thanks =)
[23:12] <concernedcitizen> you can create child nameservers
[23:12] <concernedcitizen> and then point to it
[23:13] <hyperair> that part is all done in the nameserver config, right?
[23:13] <hyperair> that part i've handled
[23:13] <concernedcitizen> yeah
[23:13] <concernedcitizen> some domain registrars don't have that option, though
[23:14] <hyperair> ?
[23:14] <hyperair> which option?
[23:14] <hyperair> pointing to nameservers?
[23:15] <concernedcitizen> child nameservers
[23:15] <hyperair> oh
[23:15] <concernedcitizen> i remmeber not seeing that option
[23:15] <concernedcitizen> around godaddy
[23:15] <hyperair> i thought you can by adding NS records or somethign?
[23:15] <concernedcitizen> child ns as in
[23:15] <concernedcitizen> if ur domain is called domain1.com
[23:15] <concernedcitizen> and you want to create ns1.domain1.com and ns2.domain1.com and point the nameservers of domain1.com tons1.domain1.com
[23:16] <hyperair> ?
[23:16] <hyperair> i don't really get it
[23:17] <hyperair> supposing i create ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com, to host dns records for domain.com, then i'd need to create a zone file or something right?
[23:17] <concernedcitizen> hon game starting
[23:17] <concernedcitizen> brb
[23:17] <hyperair> and then just point the registrar to said ip address hosting ns[12].domain.com?

[23:33] <thelaptop|mobile> strohi: did i meet you today?
[23:34] <strohi> in irc or rl?
[23:34] <hyperair> strohi: andre, eh? you the andre i switched numbers with earlier?
[23:34] <thelaptop|mobile> strohi: in meat space
[23:34] <strohi> i live in germany thelaptop|mobile
[23:35] <strohi> hyperair, i have to 98% a *stroh* nickname
[23:35] <thelaptop|mobile> strohi: ah, so it is extremely unlikely we've met
[23:35] <strohi> my damn thinkpad needs 15W :,(
[23:35] <thelaptop|mobile> hyperair: have i met you in meat space?
[23:35] <mallipeddi_> hyperair: you want to run your own DNS servers?
[23:36] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: eh why not
[23:36] <hyperair> thelaptop|mobile: who are you?
[23:36] <thelaptop|mobile> hyperair: i'm thelaptop
[23:36] <thelaptop|mobile> hyperair: were you at the SFD exhibit earlier today?
[23:36] <hyperair> yeah i was
[23:36] <hyperair> ubuntu-sg's booth most of the time
[23:37] <hyperair> wearing a brown tshirt saying wanted
[23:37] <strohi> windows is stupid :X
[23:38] <mallipeddi_> hyperair: I've never done that myself. normally you can just use your hosting provider's DNS servers. life's simple that way.
[23:38] <thelaptop|mobile> hyperair: hmm, i probably didn't see you then
[23:38] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: i'm a control freak.
[23:38] <hyperair> strohi: agree.
[23:39] <strohi> i must "repair" some ugly apps O.o
[23:39] <strohi> better: get to get them work
[23:39] <hyperair> the best way to "repair" a windows installation is to remove it and install linux instead.
[23:40] <strohi> not the win .. some ugly win32 apps ;)
[23:41] <hyperair> it's still a problem in windows at the end of the day
[23:41] <mallipeddi_> if you've a good hosting provider, they'll usually have a very flexible UI for changing your DNS records. so you get most of what you will by running DNS yourself except of course you rely on them (which is not that bad - you're relying on them for hosting).
[23:41] <strohi> and i got no wlan connection with the ubuntu :/

[23:41] <ini_mobile> hyperair: my windows is fubared but i can't get rid of it until i find replacements for all apps i use
[23:42] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: let's just say that NTUOSS doesn't have full control over its domain name. rather, the domain name is sponsored by previous president, who is a busy person. hence any change that needs to be done needs to go through him and will take some time
[23:42] <hyperair> ini_mobile: you won't find replacements until you switch to linux full time spend time in it
[23:42] <ini_mobile> actually i'm using linux most of the time now
[23:43] <hyperair> well what apps are you using then?
[23:43] <hyperair> that need replacements
[23:43] <ini_mobile> except for those times my wireless decides it doesn't like ubuntu
[23:44] <hyperair> what wireless chip is that?
[23:44] <ini_mobile> tell you when i get back
[23:44] <ini_mobile> its an atheros, been giving me problems since forever
[23:44] <concernedcitizen> sup back
[23:44] <strohi> wow that is "hot" ... if you insert the disk, there start automatic an app ... wen you join the cd by exploror .. there s an setup exe for an other app :D
[23:45] <concernedcitizen> what did I miss
[23:45] <mallipeddi_> hyperair: simple solution. ask him to give you access to the web console of your hosting provider.
[23:45] <thelaptop|mobile> ini_mobile: i thought atheros usually gives problems...
[23:45] <concernedcitizen> mallipeddi? harish?
[23:45] <mallipeddi_> concernedcitizen: yep.
[23:45] <concernedcitizen> o hay!
[23:45] <concernedcitizen> saw you present at barcamp a couple of years back
[23:46] <ini_mobile> thelaptop: mine's especially bad
[23:46] <ini_mobile> errors on almost half of sent packets
[23:46] <mallipeddi_> concernedcitizen: great. and who are you? btw which barcamp? the one organized by the Google guys at that NUS Enterprise blding in Dhoby Ghaut?
[23:47] <concernedcitizen> yeah I think that's the one
[23:47] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: nevermind, i'll see how it goes.
[23:47] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: wait a sec, you mention "hosting provider", but we're hosting our own site on a server within NTU.
[23:47] <concernedcitizen> i'm just a normal dooder.
[23:47] <concernedcitizen> man this mouse feels heavy :(
[23:48] <mallipeddi_> hyperair: how did you manage that? you got a public IP from NTU?
[23:48] * torressilva (i=daba0bf8@gateway/web/freenode/x-uavnkljuciketrdr) has joined #linuxnus
[23:48] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: DMZ access approved.
[23:48] <ini_mobile> really?
[23:48] <concernedcitizen> nice.
[23:48] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: they now have to portscan us to verify that we're at least somewhat secure
[23:48] <ini_mobile> they managed to portscan your absent server?
[23:48] <hyperair> the thing is that they nicely postponed the portscan because they couldn't ping us.
[23:49] <concernedcitizen> i hate those probes. my server's on a public ip network as well
[23:49] <ini_mobile> aha
[23:49] <hyperair> and the reason they couldn't ping us is because....
[23:49] <concernedcitizen> at smu
[23:49] <hyperair> iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -j REJECT
[23:49] <hyperair> right at the end of my rules
[23:49] <concernedcitizen> and I usually hook my laptop directly to the switch to bypass the horrible speeds on the campus network
[23:49] <hyperair> i didn't whitelist pings
[23:49] <hyperair> so it's rejected
[23:50] <concernedcitizen> thats it, I think I'm getting a T400 at 1.7k even if the screen is 1280x1024
[23:51] <ini_mobile> anyone know those mucro guys from sfd
[23:52] <ini_mobile> they were showcasing sega and zeptn laptops
[23:52] <ini_mobile> zepto*
[23:52] <strohi> ini_mobile, are you inimical?
[23:52] <ini_mobile> yeap
[23:52] <hyperair> =O
[23:52] <hyperair> otaku!
[23:52] <mallipeddi_> hyperair: ic. well then the next easiest option will be to see if your domain registrar will run DNS for you.
[23:52] <ini_mobile> ahahaha
[23:52] <strohi> a nice :D i search over 5 minutes in logs to find your nic
[23:52] <mallipeddi_> hyperair: if that fails I guess, you've to run your own nameserver :)
[23:53] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: i wouldn't bother. i have set up the nameserver already. now all that's left is hooking up
[23:53] <ini_mobile> strohi: was that necessary =/
[23:54] <mallipeddi_> hyperair: nice. did you try hooking it up? what's the problem?
[23:55] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: ethernet port not open yet.
[23:55] <strohi> ini_mobile, the toc of "first steps in internet (with ie6) are:chap 1 configure the internet connection, chap2 visit internet pages, chap3 use infomation out of the net, chap 4 email, the electronik mail, chap5 email with outlook express, chap6 variarity in the net, chap7 search and find in the net, chap8 download out of the net, chap9 securiy in zhe net
[23:55] <mallipeddi_> ic
[23:55] <ini_mobile> the problem is he can't yet :D
[23:55] <hyperair> mallipeddi_: but i've done dig @localhost ntuoss.org and it works
