31 23:04:00 Morasique who knew the command line let you do things besides just looking leet
01 10:21:00 andy753421 I think a lot of them do run at night, the mirrors have to run at specific times, which is actually why the server is in EDT
01 10:21:00 andy753421 (they want them to sync based on localtime as a crude version of load balancing)
01 11:11:00 rthc hm, that's interesting
01 11:13:00 andy753421 I was tempted to just offset the cron jobs, but i'm not sure you could account for daylight savings time with that very easily
01 11:14:00 rthc yeah, timezones muck everything up
01 11:14:00 rthc i'm surprised it's based on localtime though, i'd think something more universal would be better for distributing people
01 11:17:00 tommost Well, surely timezones mess up load balancing anyway, what with DST not being a constant amount.
01 12:13:00 Morasique "a lot of them"? how many are there? i thought there was just one for gentoo and one for ubuntu
01 12:34:00 Morasique somebody who uses mutt: is it possible to choose which account you want to send from, instead of hardcoding it in .muttrc?
01 12:37:00 andy753421 Morasique: see `set {from,relname,reverse_name}' and `alternates'
01 12:38:00 Morasique ok, thanks
01 12:38:00 andy753421 Morasique: there's four (two for gentoo and two for ubuntu), but they run at multiple times per day
01 12:38:00 Morasique ah
01 12:39:00 andy753421 the files each run once per day around 3/4 a.m. and the metadata (gentoo-portage, etc) run every four hours
01 12:39:00 andy753421 anyway, i have to go pick my dad up from the airport
01 13:43:00 Morasique http://mrozekma.com/mutt.png
01 13:50:00 ZetaSyanthis heh
01 13:51:00 Morasique i have no idea where the red and blue coloring came from; mutt did that on its own
01 13:51:00 Morasique i think it's misinterpreting the |s as reply markers
01 14:25:00 tommost Is addiator borked for anyone else?
01 14:27:00 tommost It won't let me log in from off-campus, and when I go via the LUG server it won't chdir to my home directory and kinit && aklog doesn't help.
01 15:31:00 Morasique tommost: yeah, it's been messed up for a while now
03 07:13:00 Morasique hmm. i just discovered emacs has the same jump-to-line command-line argument that vim has. suck on that, vim
04 11:40:00 andy753421 hehe, someone on vim_dev wants to replace vim's main loop with glib's so it's easier to integrate gio and dbus :)
04 11:40:00 Morasique i'm for it
04 19:12:00 Morasique mutt people: what do you use for an address book? abook?
04 19:14:00 andy753421 abook is excellent (and/or ldap)
04 19:14:00 Morasique like, local ldap? i don't have an ldap to connect to
04 19:16:00 andy753421 you could, but I use/used the rose-hulman/lug ldap server as well
04 19:16:00 andy753421 i imagine abook is much easier to add names to than ldap is ;)
04 19:17:00 andy753421 if you use abook, you should add the following to muttrc:
04 19:17:00 andy753421 macro index A |'abook --add-email'\n
04 19:17:00 andy753421 macro pager A |'abook --add-email'\n
04 19:17:00 Morasique ok, cool. i'm doing it in reverse; i'm poking through people's .muttrc's and looking up stuff that looks interesting. i just found a query_command=abook
04 19:18:00 andy753421 yea, I have it set to use both, actually my query_command concatenates my abook results with the lug ldap results
05 05:18:00 Morasique :D http://xkcd.com/619/
05 20:36:00 andy753421 AWeather 0.2.0 released, now with shared libraries and plugins!
05 20:37:00 andy753421 (yay cross-posting)
06 17:17:00 andy753421 I feel that I should point out that the ndiswrapper wifi drivers seem to be a lot better at ad-hoc networking than b43..
09 15:34:00 rthc ooh, kernel based mode-setting for radeons in 2.6.31...
09 15:35:00 tommost I hear that's kinda unstable at the moment, at least for Ubuntu.
09 15:35:00 rthc i see.
09 15:36:00 rthc i need to check out radeonhd again. i'm running 2.6.28 at the moment because of fglrx
09 15:37:00 tommost As long as you don't need 3D it's utterly superior.
09 15:37:00 tommost Much faster.
09 15:39:00 rthc glares at urt
09 17:22:00 kleinjt glares at AMD
10 21:18:00 tommost I think I'll set up mutt now.
10 21:19:00 Morasique tommost: i did last weekend, i'm quite enjoying it
10 21:19:00 tommost Anything I should know?
10 21:21:00 Morasique you may need to use the command-line
10 21:21:00 Morasique brace yourself
10 21:21:00 Morasique i already had fetchmail and procmail set up from a while ago, so i didn't really need to do anything
10 21:21:00 tommost Um, I do that all the time, Morasique.
10 21:22:00 Morasique oh. i thought you used ubuntu
10 21:22:00 Morasique BAM
10 21:22:00 tommost I do.
10 21:30:00 tommost My Internet connection is making this really slow...
10 21:30:00 Morasique my router that likes to restart itself didn't help much either
10 21:30:00 tommost Hey, neat, I have a zip of Nexuiz sitting in my Desktop directory.
10 21:31:00 Morasique playit
10 21:31:00 Morasique throw a space in there anywhere you feel like
10 21:32:00 rthc could i buy a vowel?
10 21:32:00 Morasique you, of all people? no vowels for you
10 21:32:00 rthc walks sulkily away
10 21:33:00 Morasique you're not even identified. way to fail
10 21:33:00 rthc my router fails me enough that it's not worth it
10 21:34:00 tommost What you have to do it manually?
10 21:34:00 tommost Way to fail.
10 21:34:00 Morasique you know you can just set the server password to your nickserv password?
10 21:34:00 Morasique or use an autosendcmd, but the former is easier
10 21:41:00 tommost 1 hr 8 min to fetchmail!
11 11:32:00 andy753421 anyone know if you can play ogg vorbis in windows media player?
11 11:32:00 andy753421 (or know of a good, free, audio player for windows mobile :/)
