[01:06] [ajdonnison] Morning

[01:54] ecognito (~ecognito@203.39.191.114) joined #dotproject.
[01:56] [ecognito] Weird. Computer blue screened for no apparent reason.
[01:57] [mosen] hmm
[02:02] xaa (~Miranda@host-212-68-221-132.brutele.be) left irc: Quit: xaa
[02:27] [ecognito] I remember the good ol' Uni days when we use to fdisk the lap PCs and see how many 1MB partitions we could make...
[02:28] [mosen] hehe
[02:29] [mosen] a long time ago i downloaded freebsd on a set of 5 floppies to try it out
[02:29] [mosen] it turns out having a kernel but not much else isnt useful
[02:36] [ajdonnison] Speaking of good old days, I noticed the Computer Museum tours on offer at LCA. Trouble is that museums are supposed to be stuff from the distant past, and most of that stuff I've worked with or on.
[02:37] *** ecognito thinks, "Nah, too easy."
[02:41] [ajdonnison] I realised as I was writing my slides that I've been using Linux since kernel version 0.97, which was around 1994. I'm guessing that some of my audience will have only been knee-high to a grasshopper then.
[02:46] [ecognito] While it is given that coffeescript is lipstick on a pig, it really is damn good lipstick.
[02:47] [ecognito] Loaded up 9.2GB of music on my phone last night, so I should be right for the week. :-)
[02:47] [mosen] ajdonnison, hehe including me
[02:47] [ajdonnison] :)
[02:48] [ecognito] If it's any consolation, I was married with two cats by then.
[02:48] [mosen] i started on slackware 3.3 so this seems to be 1997
[02:49] [mosen] thats practically new :)
[02:49] [ecognito] Also loaded up plenty of reading material on the Nook. I will still be bringing one physical book however (I was hoping to finish it tonight but doubtful.)
[02:50] [ecognito] Decided not to bring the coffee syphon though. Too breakable and I don't have the box for it any more. Still bringing the aeropress though.
[02:50] [ajdonnison] I started with Yggdrasil, then moved to Slackware.
[02:51] [ecognito] Yggdrasil sounds like an anti-anxiety medication.
[02:51] [ajdonnison] From Norse mythology, the tree of life.
[02:51] [mosen] probably helpful for running such an early linux release
[02:52] [ecognito] Oh, like that didn't cause anxiety.
[04:30] [ecognito] ajdonnison: Karen knows I'm coming up tomorrow, not tonight, right?
[04:30] [ajdonnison] Right
[04:30] [ecognito] Goodo.
[05:01] [ecognito] Wow. I just managed to successfully walk someone through fixing their firewall rules over the phone.
[05:06] [mosen] nice
[05:06] [mosen] I usually give up
[05:07] [mosen] after "which mouse button" or something like that :)
[05:08] [ecognito] No, he's a good computer user. Their router died and wiped out the existing firewall settings, and needed to add back the port-forward so the world could see his web app again.
[05:11] [mosen] ohh right
[06:16] [ecognito] Hey ajdonnison, do you use an IRC client on your phone?
[06:17] [ajdonnison] I've tried yaaic, which seems to work OK.
[06:18] [ajdonnison] But frankly using a phone for IRC or IM is about as useful as using a brick as a screwdriver.
[06:18] [ecognito] Yeah, I expect if I'm using it, it'll be more just for watching comments on the #linux.conf.au channel.
[06:21] [ecognito] Suspect I will certainly be putting my phone's battery life to the test.
[06:21] [mosen] sure will
[06:23] [ajdonnison] ecognito, if you are after any tools of any sort, Total Tools in Ballarat are having a 20% off everything sale tomorrow.
[06:24] [ecognito] Ta.
[06:32] [ecognito] Okay. I'z goin' home. Later.
[06:32] [mosen] later!
[06:32] [ajdonnison] Seeya
