[1:49] <singh> @elfgoh : hey this is regarding the wordpress upgrade: thanks for letting me know; i guess we can wait for the next wordpress release and then think about updating.
[1:49] <elfgoh> singh: great
[1:49] <elfgoh> good to see you here?
[1:49] <singh> yeah. was pretty kept up by tutorials and assignments
[1:49] <elfgoh> singh: who is the man/woman responsible for updating site content btw?
[1:50] <singh> but now plan to be here regularly
[1:50] <elfgoh> singh: np. I was a student too not long ago
[1:50] <elfgoh> got work to keep me busy now
[1:50] <strohi> hello
[1:50] <strohi> elfgoh, do you run suse?
[1:50] <singh> i guess its ruiwen who is managing these days
[1:51] <singh> elfgoh: he recently updated the blog with the 4th anniversary of linuxNUS
[1:52] <singh> elfgoh: i think i will meet him someday and get the neccesary details on managing the content and make it a bit more active
[1:52] <elfgoh> strohi: i ran it last year. but have yet to boot up the desktop containing that for a long time
[1:53] <elfgoh> singh: I don't want to bore you with the intricate details now but one of the content we keep updating is the FOSS meetups/events we have in Singapore
[1:53] <elfgoh> I am doing that at the moment
[1:53] <strohi> elfgoh, a fellow studend run this on his eeepc but the atheres wifi doesn't work ootb
[1:54] <elfgoh> strohi: sorry I am not so familiar with rpm distros :s But I guess help is just an irc channel away
[1:54] <elfgoh> and plenty of googling
[1:54] <strohi> :)
[1:54] <strohi> hehe
[1:55] <singh> elfgoh: thats great. I think i will be coming to the hackfest and would get all the intricate details.
[1:56] <singh> elfgoh: and all the major events and details that need to be updated
[1:56] <strohi> elfgoh, i come out of the debianbased corner ;)
[1:58] <elfgoh> singh: personally, I can help out with some of the "routine" posting, if you guys would rather channel your efforts towards organising activities. The alumni have quite a bit expertise and contacts. So generally, we just need you guys to get place, time audience and we can be there to conduct
[1:58] <elfgoh> singh: but i think right now you folks should focus on the exams and deadlines
[1:58] <elfgoh> :)
[2:02] <singh> elfgoh: well deadlines will always be there, its good that you keep the postings as you know about the stuff thats going on and i am rather a bit out of the main stream. I will just be taking passionate interest in the events, and try to learn more
[2:03] <elfgoh> singh: ok :)
[2:04] <singh> linuxnus has pretty expert contacts and events by them will always be appreciated
[2:05] <singh> elfgoh: btw, i was wondering if i could get access to any old system in the club room as i need to try some distros and some playing around
[2:05] <elfgoh> singh: We don't mind doing. But the initiating should come from the active coreteam, ie poking us about it
[2:05] <elfgoh> singh: yes you can
[2:05] <elfgoh> I think inimical is playing with a system or two
[2:05] <elfgoh> But otherwise all other stuff we have are good to wipe
[2:06] <singh> i had already screwed my new laptop while trying some things (you remember: installfest) so need some old system to play around
[2:07] <singh> :D thats good.
[2:07] <elfgoh> singh: Those machines are really old.. You might need really light distros to run them.
[2:07] <elfgoh> singh: I thought you fixed your laptop?
[2:09] <singh> yeah i fixed it.. but the thirst for trying out other distros never dies :P so since then i have tried the new releases of fedora and solaris (though ddnt stick to any.. got Windows 7 with ubuntu running now) I always screw the MBR. But got it right finally
[2:10] <singh> but now i am sticking to running new os on virtual box
[2:12] <elfgoh> singh: usually not too difficult to restore your mbr as long as you have a livecd and a backup of your menu.lst
[2:12] <elfgoh> that's from my experience
[2:13] <elfgoh> singh: I multi boot quite a bit on the old machines. And it's very telling which distros are bloated and which aren't
[2:16] <singh> yep having a liveCd does help and a backup of course. But experimenting on a system thats for my daily use (being a student i need a running system almost every time) is pretty risky and sometimes multi-os can really get frustrating, especially when you are struggling with windows BSODs and GRUB errors..
[2:17] <elfgoh> singh: i see. heh go become a pro by practicing on the old machines :p
[2:17] <singh> :D... yeah. so who do i approach for access to those systems?
[2:18] <elfgoh> singh: am a bit confused. Are you talking about physical access?
[2:18] <singh> yes.
[2:18] <singh> i mean access to the old machines in club room
[2:19] <elfgoh> singh: you need to find someone with the key, like inimical or dqminh, iirc
[2:19] * melynx (n=melynx@cm52.eta204.maxonline.com.sg) has joined #linuxnus
[2:20] <elfgoh> jmarki: singh: btw melynx was telling me that mirror nus has a gentoo mirror
[2:20] <elfgoh> unsure if the mirroring is complete yet
[2:26] <melynx> ?
[2:26] <melynx> nope
[2:26] <melynx> still syncing
[2:26] <melynx> haha
[2:28] <singh> elfgoh: gentoo still not there
[2:28] <singh> hope to see it soon
[2:29] <elfgoh> singh: don't fall into the dark side
[2:29] <melynx> gentoo is there already i think...
[2:29] <melynx> i chmoded it
[2:29] <melynx> but its not complete yet
[2:29] <singh> elfgoh: well havent laid my hands on it though :D.

[11:23] <ruiwen> !twitter linuxNUS Hackfest! 17 Oct, Sat, 1-6pm, Red Hat APAC, Temasek Towers, #10-00. Happy Hacking!
[11:25] <dwu> again, you've all neatly placed it the day after a goth event.
[11:27] <ruiwen> whoops, sorry dwu.. 17th was the only date we could get the venue
[11:27] <dwu> nah, don't worry about it :)
[11:28] <dwu> i'm just amused that there's only been this one goth event between 5th sept and now, and it's the day before hackfest.
