22:36.24viricok :)
22:38.23wpwrakif i was living in the countryside, i'd probably be happy to have no electricity. there's been heavy rain in the last week or so and some 1700 people had to be evacuated. hundreds are still waiting to be able to return to their homes, or what's left of them.
22:39.06wpwrakluckily, we don't have such problems in the city. particularly not after a major drain channel was opened earlier this year. it's being put to very good use these days.
22:41.07viricaha
22:42.17DocScrutinizer05wpwrak: how's connectivity during brownouts?
22:42.26DocScrutinizer05or even outages
22:43.24wpwrakif power goes down in the building, so does internet access (over catv)
22:43.42wpwrakbrownouts tend to go unnoticed, though
22:44.54DocScrutinizer05those were the times when your phone still worked when no light til horizon (even with ISDN)
22:46.04DocScrutinizer05nowadays odds are your GSM phone works on blackouts, while landline goes down even with electricity all fine ;-)
22:46.06wpwrakthe building can also suffer a partial failure (there are two inbound lines). the terminal equipment for the network is on the other line. so there's a small probability for internet access failing (along with elevators, water pumps, etc.), while i still have electricity in all my apartment
22:46.28wpwraklandline is obsolete anyway ;-)
22:47.48DocScrutinizer05anyway now I can kill/restart the infobot for good, as long as the DSL line and server are still ok.
22:48.05wpwrak;-)
22:48.48DocScrutinizer05friggin thing suffers from not noticing offline state due to netsplits etc. So recently it been more offline than online
22:49.14DocScrutinizer05and each time I had to *mail* Tim to pretty please give it a kick
22:49.25DocScrutinizer05perl anybody?
22:49.40DocScrutinizer05bot's scheduler written in perl, needs some love
22:49.42wpwrakdoesn't sound like a very robust design
22:50.44DocScrutinizer05interfacing a truly autonomous bot to freenode's servers isn't exactly trivial. Esp since "moving target"
22:52.29DocScrutinizer05there were times where bot had to throttle chan joining to max 1 / 10s, otherwise some watchdog in freenode goes mad. Not anymore. But every other week something new to cope with
22:53.07DocScrutinizer05~+chaninfo
22:53.07infobot124/124 channels, 4912 users, 3518 unique: #debian/1159, #kde/363, #maemo/271, #gsoc/231, #meego/197, #harmattan/180, #asterisk/172, #wowuidev/152, #oe/143, #wowace/116, #webos-internals/111, #wowhead/100, #openmoko/85, #arm-netbook/82, #utah/75, #bzflag/67, #n9/66, #uclibc/66, #openmoko-cdevel/65, #tomcat/56, #edev/54, #qi-hardware/52, #htc-linux/51, #maemo-ssu/51, #curseforge/49, #sc2mapster/47, #asterisk-dev/41, #elinux/41, #uphpu/40, ...
22:54.40wpwrakseems like a very reasonable rate limit to me
22:55.32Ayla1107 more and we reach #debian!
22:55.40DocScrutinizer05actually it's not, every stupid irc client will join faster, when you got some 50 chan on autojoin
22:57.04DocScrutinizer05since ircd7 the bot never gained stability level it had before
22:58.20DocScrutinizer05~+uptime
23:02.26DocScrutinizer05btw did I mention I resign at STE?
23:02.37kristianpaulnope..
23:19.15wpwrakyou hinted at a future change. why did you leave ? and what's next ?
23:21.37DocScrutinizer05I'm leaving since STE has not the job I hoped for, opening up opportunities for new stuff to come
23:22.39DocScrutinizer05I could say I'm leaving since my alergy against winXP wasn't manageable, but that was only half of the truth
23:22.56wpwrakbut at least it was half of it ;-)
23:23.59DocScrutinizer05yep, if I would have managed to get that linux account (and tasks to do there) earlier, or at all, maybe things were different
23:25.20DocScrutinizer05well, maybe 9 month is just the maximum time span you could manage mail in outlook, before it starts to become a total mess
23:25.55wpwraka mail system with an expiration date. very nice ;-)
23:26.26DocScrutinizer05no hard expiration date, just the point where chaos tips over
23:28.39wpwrakfew expiration dates are "hard". or do you believe your yoghurt suddenly goes from perfect to inedible when the clock strikes midnight ? :)
23:28.55DocScrutinizer05basically way too much 'paperwork' and way too little fun with hardware
23:30.46wpwraksounds like the joy of big companies
23:30.56DocScrutinizer05exactly
