00:01:53 [sbp]
oh man, that NPR thing is too sad
00:02:15 [sbp]
but really its a good policy. they're like "don't link to us!", and the rest of the world is all "fine!"
00:02:29 [sbp]
s/its/it's/
00:02:34 [AaronSw]
as in "fine, we'll link to you"
00:02:47 [sbp]

<lilo> This is a WALLOPS message for OPN. These messages contain non-critical comments, announcements and server admin information. Currently they're also used for fundraising status. To turn them off, turn off user mode 'w'. On most clients: '/mode <yournick> -w'. Thanks.
01:00:47 [walloper]
<lilo> Hi all. The goal is $12,000 and currently we have $11,751 more to go. The explanation is on http://lilo.sargasso.net/ .... thanks to everyone who's helped so far!

<lilo> Side note: I went back and totalled what you all sent me when I first asked for help. It was more than I thought. If I've figured it right, it came to $3,122.35 after PayPal fees and reimbursements.
11:09:57 [walloper]
<lilo> We used that money to get up to date on our car payments, car insurance and utilities, for food, gasoline and prescription drugs and for our July rent. We have some food and gas money left over. Thanks massively to everyone who helped out there, as well.

[GlobalNotice] Hi everybody. I've started sending two messages a day for fund raising, asking people to help so I can keep at this. I'm skipping the second message today and replacing it with something that I hope will be helpful.
17:00:07 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] If you have an opinion on the network, and my role in it, now is definitely the time to participate.
17:00:58 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] If you want the opportunity to tell me directly what you think about me, please come to #question. I can't listen to everybody on channel or on message, but I definitely need to hear from you.
17:01:19 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] So I'll tell you how you can talk to me about it, and I hope it won't be too hard or take too much time.
17:01:51 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] If you use the network, this is *definitely* a time to make your presence known. It will mean a lot. Please come to #question. Thanks.
17:03:30 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] Again, I hate to stress this, but I am *really* going to need your opinion, good, bad or indifferent. Please come to #question. Thanks.
17:09:23 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] Okay, one last time, and then I'll get started. When people express the opinion that "everybody says that x", the only way I will know if it's true is if *you* are part of the everybody who makes your voice heard. Please come to #question. Thanks.

see, if you were on debian...
23:51:58 [sbp]
apt-get python
23:52:04 [sbp]
or apt-install. something like that
23:52:35 [sbp]
future versions will have spc2txt hooked up, and you'll just go "get me Python, damnit!" and it'll get and install it
23:52:44 [dogcow]
sbp: Yeah, but if I was on debian I'd have to kill myself.
23:52:54 [dogcow]
I just snagged the source and I'm compiling it.
23:52:56 [sbp]
heh. Mmmkay, why's that?
23:53:04 [dogcow]
debian is totally insane, is all.
23:53:19 [dogcow]
At least, coming from an old-school unix background.
23:53:26 [sbp]
Ash's hate list: Debian, LIELO, Luserland...
23:53:34 [dogcow]
well
23:53:35 [dogcow]
heh
23:53:43 [sbp]
:-)
23:53:43 [dogcow]
I think a system should be buildable from source automatically
23:53:53 [sbp]
you were going to protest that for a second, weren't you?
23:53:53 [dogcow]
debian doesn't lend itself to nice easy full-system builds
23:53:54 [dogcow]
:-)
23:54:03 [dogcow]
Eh, I don't HATE Debian or anything.
23:54:16 [dogcow]
I just think that if they made a few small changes to the way they do things they would have a lot more users.
23:54:28 [sbp]
you called it (and I quote) "totally insane"! a second ago
23:54:42 [dogcow]
"totally insane" does not mean that I hate it
23:54:46 [dogcow]
it just means that it's CRAZY1
23:54:46 [dogcow]
!
23:54:52 [sbp]
aha!
23:55:17 [sbp]
what small changes would you make if you ran the debian ship?
23:55:18 [dogcow]
My network management system is slated to have good debian support.. it's the easiest linux system to programmatically manage, at least.
23:55:39 [dogcow]
Well, first of all I'd change their FTP site to have a sensible layout!
23:56:09 [dogcow]
It's really confusing to find the 'new yet stable' boot disks, for example.
23:56:24 [dogcow]
And I'd switch from having 3 different versions to having two, ala freebsd
23:56:27 [dogcow]
-current and -stable
23:56:32 [dogcow]
or -unstable and -stable
23:57:11 [dogcow]
With freebsd i can ftp to freebsd.org and go to /pub/FreeBSD/releases/4.6-release and snag boot floppies from the subdirectory "floppies"
23:57:22 [dogcow]
which is substantially less confusing than the debian ftp layout.
