[10:24] <ikt> hey jared
[10:24] <jared> Evening ikt
[10:26] <ikt> how's going?
[10:26] <jared> Not too shabby, busy as a one armed bill poster in a storm but otherwise not too bad
[10:27] <jea> it is a bit like that
[10:29] <jared> How's life down there
[10:29] <ikt> reminds me i need to signup for uni
[10:30] <ikt> internode had their internal network intergrated into iinets
[10:30] <ikt> and it's ruined a lot
[10:30] <jared> As time consuming as uni is it's the only thing keeping me sane right now.
[10:30] <jared> Oh, sounds like helpdesk fun
[10:30] <ikt> helpdesk are arguing with management
[10:30] <jared> Never ends well for anyone.
[10:30] <ikt> we can't use remote desktop or ssh anywhere anymore
[10:30] <ikt> it's like the great firewall of iinet
[10:31] <ikt> they've blocked all ports to everything except the web
[10:33] <ikt> sorry needed someone to complain to
[10:33] <jared> Hah no worries mate
[10:34] <jared> Ranting to people is what IRC was made for
[10:34] <jea> it certainly is
[10:34] <jea> jared: you haven't heard anything about the dvds, have you?
[10:34] <jared> jea: to be honest, I'd forgotten.
[10:35] <jea> that is alright
[10:36] <jared> I've asked in another channel, I'll let you know what happens.
[10:37] <jea> oh, thanks
[10:37] <jea> have finally set a date, for tuesday in 2 weeks
[10:37] <jared> Ah, probably won't be getting them if they haven't already been sent
[10:37] <jea> yeah, that is alright
[10:38] <jea> luckily UQ is the host of the AARNet mirror, so it is quick to download
[10:38] <jared> Or do what I do, carry it on an external USB :P
[10:38] <jea> that is another option
[10:38] <jea> i will probably do some pre-made VMs
[10:39] <jared> My suggestion is to always have lots of toys and installed stuff for people to play on. As many devices as possible.
[10:39] <jea> i am hoping there is a way to do an OEM-like install, like you get on a new windows laptop
[10:39] <jea> so they can just take a copy, and set it up like a new machine
[10:39] <jea> yep, i think i will install it on my nexus 7
[10:40] <jea> be a nice demonstration
[10:40] <jared> Very cool indeed. If I were financially able to I would have put in for the Ubuntu edge purely for the hardware side of things.
[10:41] <jared> jea: regarding the DVDs, if you wanted to respond to the shippit email I originally sent asking about the DVDs apparently they're organised by the same group of people
[10:42] <jea> oh ok. I shall look that up. Can't remember if I got that email or not
[10:42] <jared> I'm sure I CC'd you, hang on I can double check
[10:55] <jea> jared: i have the one about the conference pack. would that do it?
[10:56] <jared> jea: yeah, just ask if the DVD request that went through at about the same time was processed. If it hasn't been I'd probably add not to now (depending on what you think) but at least they could say if they're in transit.
[10:57] <jea> ok, shall do
[10:58] <jea> jared: should it go to shipit, or the lady who replied, or both?
[10:58] <jared> In that situation I send to both and apologise for ignorance but unsure who it was best suited to be directed at.
[10:59] <jea> ok
[11:28] <jared> Alrighty, I'm off for the evening
[11:28] <jared> ikt: good to see you around again
[11:28] <jared> jea: sing out to the mailing list if you wanted help with the event
[11:29] <jea> jared: ok, will do
[11:29] <jared> jea: oh and if you want some of the disks I have here (12.04 and 12.10) let me know.
[11:29] <jea> ok, i might do that
[11:29] <jared> You're welcome to whatever I have left.
[11:29] <jea> will talk to you about it later
[11:29] <jea> ok, that will be good thanks
