|---|---|---|
| schestowitz | [09:08] <pinguinpat> The LSE this week delayed its migration to the Millennium Exchange platform following a massive network hit that took the smaller Turquoise venue, which uses the system, offline for two hours during peak trading. The exchange declined to comment on reports that a contractor was suspended over a “suspicious” network incident. a “suspicious” network incident?? Is this worth investigating? | Nov 07 09:37 |

| oiaohm | Yes opps Server working better than network connection. | Nov 07 10:18 |
| schestowitz | what do you think we can do? | Nov 07 10:47 |
| schestowitz | I can't blame anything and nobody else can just yet | Nov 07 10:47 |
| schestowitz | It's just interesting, but too vague | Nov 07 10:47 |
| oiaohm | The old server was too low performing for them to notice then need faster transfers as well. | Nov 07 10:48 |

| schestowitz | There's this one editor who insists Apple -- not Linux -- helps end FLash. | Nov 07 15:18 |
| schestowitz | The reasoning there is odd | Nov 07 15:19 |

| schestowitz | exactly | Nov 07 15:21 |
| schestowitz | in the past, someone who went to a school of journalism | Nov 07 15:21 |
| schestowitz | I have a friend like that | Nov 07 15:21 |
| FurnaceBoy | journalist = anointed blogger | Nov 07 15:24 |
| FurnaceBoy | blogger-made-good | Nov 07 15:24 |
| FurnaceBoy | but, it's the same in most professions, schestowitz | Nov 07 15:24 |
| schestowitz | slef-glorifying one | Nov 07 15:24 |
| FurnaceBoy | i myself skipped the qualifications to do what i do | Nov 07 15:24 |
| FurnaceBoy | so the changed environment means that | Nov 07 15:24 |
| FurnaceBoy | you have millions with 'ambition to be anointed' | Nov 07 15:24 |
| FurnaceBoy | but no qualification | Nov 07 15:24 |
| FurnaceBoy | like sperm and egg | Nov 07 15:24 |

| schestowitz | I had arguments with this person before | Nov 07 15:25 |
| schestowitz | Byfield | Nov 07 15:25 |
| schestowitz | Bruce "fountain of truth" Byfield | Nov 07 15:25 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes when people want to win a debate they don't make better argument | Nov 07 15:26 |
| schestowitz | They make statement like "I'm a professor" | Nov 07 15:26 |
| schestowitz | Or "I'm a journalist" | Nov 07 15:26 |
| FurnaceBoy | appeal to authority etc | Nov 07 15:26 |
| schestowitz | Or "I'm right cause I know better" | Nov 07 15:27 |
| schestowitz | That's what pisses off people who read Byfield sometimes | Nov 07 15:27 |
| schestowitz | He appoints himself to be judge and also makes it sound so... certain phrases/style | Nov 07 15:27 |
| schestowitz | "he is just an angry blogger, don't listen to him" | Nov 07 15:28 |
| schestowitz | "she just has a twitter account..." | Nov 07 15:28 |
| schestowitz | "he's poor, he's therefore stupid" | Nov 07 15:28 |
| schestowitz | "So... Mr. Gates, would you like to lecture us on geology?" | Nov 07 15:28 |
| FurnaceBoy | :( | Nov 07 15:29 |
| FurnaceBoy | he would | Nov 07 15:29 |
| FurnaceBoy | i fancies himself as a renaissance man, like Mr Wolfram | Nov 07 15:29 |
| schestowitz | Their brains are 100 bigger than yours, so shut up !! | Nov 07 15:35 |
| FurnaceBoy | :) | Nov 07 15:35 |
| FurnaceBoy | yeah, if i'm so smart how come i ain't a billionaire | Nov 07 15:35 |
| FurnaceBoy | "I know how to run your education system. I know how to run your infrastructure." | Nov 07 15:36 |
| FurnaceBoy | "I know all the right people." :D | Nov 07 15:36 |
| schestowitz | He sends his kids to private school... Arne and Bill too actually | Nov 07 15:37 |
| schestowitz | They know what's good for schools.... but they don't like these schools | Nov 07 15:37 |
| schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: heh. One day you might be rich enough to be worthy or sitting for a few minutes across Arne's tablet while he eats a lobster snack | Nov 07 15:42 |
| schestowitz | You can tell him why he should fund and support school x and he might even bother replying if a richer person is not up his thing.... maybe he'd burp ;-) | Nov 07 15:42 |
| schestowitz | POWER lunch :-) | Nov 07 15:43 |
| FurnaceBoy | he;d eat more than shrimp | Nov 07 15:43 |

| schestowitz | POWER lunch ... for people with power | Nov 07 15:43 |
| Ender2070 | got good info? | Nov 07 15:43 |
| FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: fist sandwich... Duncan is another one of these shits | Nov 07 15:43 |
| schestowitz | Too busy with banks to sit down and eat at normal pace :-) | Nov 07 15:44 |
| schestowitz | Ender2070: I don't think I did it right | Nov 07 15:44 |
| Ender2070 | ohh | Nov 07 15:44 |
| schestowitz | It had a button for getting noise profile | Nov 07 15:44 |
| schestowitz | But it didn't do anyway noticeable | Nov 07 15:44 |
| Ender2070 | kk ill still have to figure it out then | Nov 07 15:44 |
| schestowitz | There's baseline noise... maybe it got removed... it's rather hard to tell | Nov 07 15:45 |
| Ender2070 | I have humming in my background quite often | Nov 07 15:45 |
| Ender2070 | does anyone like or hate the new design for pwnage.ca ? | Nov 07 15:46 |
| FurnaceBoy | Ender2070: doesn't load from here | Nov 07 15:51 |
| FurnaceBoy | Ender2070: hang | Nov 07 15:51 |
| FurnaceBoy | Ender2070: but.... | Nov 07 15:51 |
| FurnaceBoy | Ender2070: this is on my dodgy opera, so maybe not important | Nov 07 15:52 |
| *FurnaceBoy checks on another machine | Nov 07 15:52 | |
| Ender2070 | dodgy opera | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | hangs there too | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | no loaded | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | ok | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | fine | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | all good | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | relax | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | :) | Nov 07 15:52 |
| Ender2070 | :D | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | first reaction -- looks good | Nov 07 15:52 |
| Ender2070 | I know, I just loaded it here | Nov 07 15:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | i like the colour scheme | Nov 07 15:53 |
| Ender2070 | i like the giant rss button | Nov 07 15:53 |
| FurnaceBoy | my only comment is that i think the quote shading is too dark. that can be much lighter. | Nov 07 15:53 |
| Ender2070 | really? | Nov 07 15:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | yep | Nov 07 15:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | there's no purpose to having it so dark | Nov 07 15:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | it detracts from the page structure | Nov 07 15:54 |
| Ender2070 | seems to match the rest of the site though | Nov 07 15:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | visually | Nov 07 15:54 |
| Ender2070 | hmmm | Nov 07 15:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | it puts undue emphasis on the quote as a structural element | Nov 07 15:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | the function of quote shading isn't structural, it's qualitative, to say "this is a quote" | Nov 07 15:55 |
| Ender2070 | yeah | Nov 07 15:55 |
| FurnaceBoy | hence can be much less emphatic | Nov 07 15:55 |
| Ender2070 | i know what you mean | Nov 07 15:55 |
| FurnaceBoy | the problem with havign such an emphatic element is that it distracts the eye to no purpose | Nov 07 15:55 |
| FurnaceBoy | you don't want ot be pulled into the quote unless you're actually interested in the article (by headline) | Nov 07 15:55 |
| FurnaceBoy | so the flow should be headline > quote | Nov 07 15:56 |
| FurnaceBoy | but at the moment the quotes in this shade are much stronger page elements than the heads | Nov 07 15:56 |
| FurnaceBoy | but that's my only real objection, it 's a nice theme | Nov 07 15:57 |
| Ender2070 | I found the place where I can change it | Nov 07 15:57 |
| Ender2070 | I would have to ssh in to fix it right now, ill do it later | Nov 07 15:58 |
| Ender2070 | lol i spent all day on my server yesterday | Nov 07 15:58 |
| Ender2070 | migration from ubuntu server to fedora 14 | Nov 07 15:58 |
| FurnaceBoy | i c | Nov 07 15:59 |
| Ender2070 | so much easier to do stuff | Nov 07 16:00 |
| Ender2070 | ubuntu did things retarded | Nov 07 16:00 |
| FurnaceBoy | yeah debian is a law unto itself... | Nov 07 16:01 |
