Getting the ball rolling is the hardest part as I am sure Vhata will tell you ;-p <confluency> Apparently ae is the TLD for UAE.

"linux" is software. <confluency> No, hackintosh is mac-on-generic-hardware. <Vhata> you mean OS X <confluency> Yes. <Vhata> so nlsthzn used OS X on unsupported hardware, which sounds like even less fun <confluency> Hackintoshes are my Dad's hobby.

If a bunch more debs have appeared between starting stage 1 and starting stage 2, stage 2 will take a while <tumbleweed> the longer stage 2 takes, the bigger the chance that the lists will be out of sync with the debs <tumbleweed> if that happens, it'll stay that way until the next sync (probably 6 hours) <tumbleweed> we do a 3-stage sync on ftp.leg, because we aren't guaranteed enough bandwidth for fast syncing <Kerbero> ok <Kerbero> complicated <Kerbero> but i would have thought that a main miroor like za.mirror should be on fast enough internet for something like that not to happen very easily <tumbleweed> races happen, no matter how fast :) <Kerbero> hehe <Kerbero> true #ubuntu-za 2010-12-09 <nuvolari> mornings everyone <nlsthzn> Morning <superfly> morning all <nlsthzn> superfly: sup? <marcog> yay, living people! <marcog> so weird being 10 hours behind... <nlsthzn> marcog: u live or visiting in US? * marcog in california <marcog> just visiting <nlsthzn> marcog: nice, hope u enjoy your visit (bit cold in the US now I think) <marcog> california's not too cold (about 15) <marcog> but where i'm going next will be freezing <marcog> vail, colorado * marcog hates recruitement agencies <marcog> just had another one contact me this week <marcog> them: i'm recruiting for amazon and nimbula. let me know if you're interested blah blah <superfly> heh <marcog> me: sorry, already in direct contact with them <superfly> haha <marcog> them: i have another great company. let me know if you're interested <marcog> me: i'm interviewing at facebook and google (in the middle of replying to his other questions) <marcog> them: good luck, bye <superfly> heh <marcog> but seriously, they've only ever provided hype and no results from my experienced dealing with 4 in the past year <nlsthzn> marcog: nice when they contact you (means you got da skillz)... in my case I contact them, and they just ignore me <marcog> nlsthzn: it's a combination of skills and online presence * nlsthzn decides that marcog is the man. <marcog> lol <confluency> Having a CV online is like pheromones for recruiters. <confluency> Doesn't guarantee that they will actually read it properly. :P <marcog> confluency: or that they can understand it <confluency> I love it when I tell them I'm not interested and they ask me to give them my friends' email addresses. Yeeeeeah, I'm going to do your job for you for free *and* help you spam my friends. <marcog> i've started getting enough recruiters contact me via linkedin about random crap i default ignore them all <marcog> i responded to the 1st and only 1 <confluency> Recruiters are useful when you're looking for your first job, because even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. ;) <marcog> response was they were looking for some marketing person <marcog> wtf? <confluency> Yeah, I kept getting these bizarre offers for a tech support position from one agent. That agent is now in my killfile. <nlsthzn> I have my CV on a few sites... still, they ignore it :D <marcog> someone needs to create a recruitment agency review site <nlsthzn> I guess this is more of an IT problem <marcog> where you can go look them up and say "oh they fail, ignore" <superfly> hehe <superfly> marcog: that would be all of them :-P <marcog> cause i can't believe they're all terrible <superfly> at least all the ones I've dealt with <marcog> same here <confluency> The problem is that IT recruitment is mostly done by people with no understanding of the field. This works about as well as you would expect. <superfly> confluency: yeah, precisely <marcog> confluency: indeed <superfly> buzzword bingo <marcog> i spoke to a german recruiter when i interned at google <superfly> I saw one of those buzzword bingo sheets they use, it had "Windows Explorer" on there as a skill *facepalm* <marcog> he came from one of the top recruitment agencies in switzerland <marcog> he couldn't believe the experiences i had <marcog> apparently they are awesome up there <marcog> superfly: wat? you kidding right? <superfly> marcog: I wish I was <confluency> I was once contacted by a really fantastic agent. I went to a face-to-face interview with her because I was so impressed.

The nic is an Atheros AR8132. After searching forums for hours I managed to get it to pick up as __temp251#### etc (after installing an al1c atheros driver) if i do ifconfig -a but it still doesnt work. <superfly> oomkoos: clearOS ? <confluency> oomkoos: try madwifi? <oomkoos> its firewall software formerly known as clarkconnect <oomkoos> normally i dont have any issues with it but the new mobo's we bought have only 1 pci slot (lame...) and i need 2 nic's not get it working <confluency> oomkoos: http://madwifi-project.org/ -- I think they have the best support for Atheros cards. I've found references to people installing madwifi drivers on ClearOS; apparently you need to do some manual configuration. You probably know a lot more about that part than I do. ;) <oomkoos> thanx confluency i'll check it out <afrodeity> FREE ASSANGE <afrodeity> y <drubin> What? <Queery> also confused <Kilos> afternoon superfly nuvolari and all you other fellas <Kilos> Maaz, coffee on * Maaz starts grinding coffee <superfly> hi Kilos <Maaz> Coffee's ready for Kilos! <Kilos> Maaz, gracias amigo <Maaz> Â¡de nada compadre <Kilos> i'm not avoiding anyone just need to stretch data and freenode refreshes here every 14 secs <Kilos> but i will pop in every now and again <Kilos> have a good afternoon all of you <nuvimob> lo everyone <nlsthzn> hi ^_^ <Kerbero> i still have that same issue with the wireshark deb on za.mirror as i had yesterday #ubuntu-za 2010-12-10 <nuvolari> fp <nuvolari> mornings <superfly> morning nuvolari <nlsthzn> morning nuvolari, superfly, all <nuvolari> morings nlsthzn <nlsthzn> It's the week-end BABY! <nlsthzn> miss 5 FM when it didn't suck <superfly> not quite yet :-P <superfly> there was a time when 5fm didn't suck? <nlsthzn> sure.. a few years ago... mark pilgrim on saturdays etc...
