schestowitz> When I spent time offline one of the things I did was to use a paperAug 25 16:32
schestowitz> notebook to jot down ideas so I could forget about them until I wasAug 25 16:32
schestowitz> ready to go back to the computer.  It's something you might considerAug 25 16:32
schestowitz> during your upcoming break.  Cheap 60 cent notebook is enough.Aug 25 16:32
schestowitzI previously did that with a canvas. I returned to my hobby of drawing sketches. It was worthwhile; it brought back a hobby of mine. Another friend suggested that I revisit this.Aug 25 16:32
schestowitz> How long will you be away for?Aug 25 16:32
schestowitzAbout three weeks, but it's an open return (we have our vacation in sunny Cyprus).Aug 25 16:33

schestowitzAnonymous edits are no longer allowed, so wiki abuse is unlikely to happen. I need to remember to upload IRC logs tomorrow; they've piled up.Aug 25 16:33
schestowitz> Anything else to check?Aug 25 16:33
schestowitzRecent blog comments perhaps, but they're rarely abusive or spam. People must register to comment; things used to be chaotic before we did that and too much time was wasted fighting trolls and getting into unproductive confrontations.Aug 25 16:33
schestowitz> I hope that you have a really nice vacation, wedding and honeymoon.Aug 25 16:33
schestowitzThank you.Aug 25 16:33

schestowitz> I also notice that there is a 'treed' (Tracy Reed) logged into theAug 25 16:41

schestowitz> Aug 25 16:41
schestowitz> I just had to restart the web server as Varnish was giving a 503Aug 25 16:41
schestowitz> error.  I added a line to /etc/sudoers for that.Aug 25 16:41
schestowitzYes, Varnish may go awkward at times, so an apache restart helps. The other user is our sysadmin and he should be contacted in case of serious issues (rare, few times a year):Aug 25 16:41

I am a trained artist and I am out of my depth with Linux. i have been trying for weeks to get this software which is necessary for my film work.... 'fine art' video.. Can you point me in the right direction. If you know anyone locally that could help I could travel if Aug 25 19:48

schestowitzDoes anyone know?Aug 25 19:48
schestowitzI'll ask around. I'm not familiar with this software. In fact, video editing is one of the areas I'm weakest at, despite my passions for graphics (static).Aug 25 19:50
