Looks like our first cutover to the latest code is going to be Europe. Wallops and notices to users on each individual server will keep track of the conversions. Expect some netsplits and joins. Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for using OPN! 04:14:03 First server will be a European server directly connected to US hubbing 04:16:55 into the normal European server list now....next server follows in a few moments 04:19:40 Another normal European server in just a moment. 04:20:54 Another European server follows. 04:21:51 One more European server follows. 04:22:58 One more European leaf follows. 04:24:38 One more European leaf. 04:26:23 This is a WALLOPS message for the Open Projects Network. These messages contain non-critical comments and announcements and detailed server admin information. To turn them off, turn off user mode 'w'. On most clients: '/mode -w'. Thanks. 04:27:36 [Global Notice] Hi all. Our primary European hubbing is now going to be restarted. This will affect all of Europe and should take a bit longer to recover. Please bear with us. 04:31:11 [Global Notice] Hi all. OPN's European leaf and hub nodes have all been converted. Users in Europe will notice that they once again receive errors when directing private messages no nonexistent nicks. Various other problems have been corrected. Next scheduled upgrades will be around 8am OPN time (UTC).

Thanks. 10:01:55 Hmm... why did I comment it out? 10:02:09 Oh, right: when blogspace went down, checklinks was just hanging on it 10:03:15 (i.e. the swhack links on my homepage) 10:07:27 [Global Notice] Further detail on WALLOPS (/umode +w, /mode +w, etc) 10:07:54 So it looks as if this problem is not at all related to the conversion. A problem KLINE was propagated and is working its way through the European servers. 10:08:26 Fortunately asuffield was looking at it last night and has some idea what is going on. Equally fortunately we are already working through an upgrade process. 10:22:11 Restarting a utility server. 10:33:48 [Global Notice] Hi all. We have the issue resolved and will finish the conversion. We're going to restart the core servers and the main hubbing, which will be pretty painful, then we'll do Europe, then Australia.

You will vote for the best candidate. 21:17:24 2. Andrew Orgajnsoshy is the best candidate. [or whatever his name was] 21:17:24 3. Therefore, by Modus Ponens, you will vote for Andrew Orgajnsoshy. 21:17:30 so what's with this poster? 21:17:41 1. Logic isn't exactly math, but i can sort of see the stretch... 21:17:48 2. it isn't written in any formal logical language! 21:18:02 3. Even if it was, I can see no way how Modus Ponens is appropriate there! 21:18:20 He probably wants substitution or universal elimination 21:18:32 it was probably put up by an opponent of Andrew Orgajnsoshy 21:18:46 heh, good point. 21:18:56 Becuase after that, there was no way he would get my vote. 21:19:22 heh, exactly. in effect, it says "I'm thick, and I suck. Don't vote for me." 21:19:51 "A Vote for Bart is a Vote for Anarchy!" 21:20:17 I'd vote for anarchy. 21:20:27 It's the hacker way. 21:21:32 [[[ 21:21:33 "Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism.

When you've been brought up in that industry, you're bound to be firghtened of any challenges 23:59:46 so it's quite sad, really, as well as providing a chuckle
