17:29:41 <stefan> ~weather Kent
17:31:20 <stefan> ~weather Kent
17:49:35 <ash_> pretty farking hot
17:50:12 <stefan> yeah, bloody maths offices at uni got moved to pultney street too, big hike to see lecturers in this weather
17:50:41 <ash_> hey did force give you a shell account on his box?
17:50:51 <stefan> nope, haven't spoken to him for a while
17:51:05 <ash_> ah ok cos he's giving them out free
17:51:17 <ash_> he said we can host the scritpers site on there
17:51:30 <stefan> yeah, just saw, if we do bother setting it up again we'd want it to do irc too
17:51:52 <stefan> there have been several boxes offered, but really no point
17:51:56 <ash_> from memory it communicated with the bot through a socket ?
17:52:06 <ash_> or did it use notification in the database
17:52:11 <stefan> yeah, but why host it seperately
17:52:34 <ash_> hehe we had a pretty elaborate system back in the day
17:52:48 <stefan> yeah, #help is using it still now with a few modifications
17:53:15 <ash_> anyway his box is "itsecuritysolutions.org".. he gave me a user account and when i logged in i had root access
17:53:22 <ash_> cos he'd been playing around and set bash to setuid root
17:53:23 <ash_> lol
17:53:31 <stefan> nice
17:53:39 <stefan> misleading domain name then, lol
17:53:44 <ash_> haha yeah
17:53:49 <ash_> it's gone now though
17:53:51 <ash_> i told him about it
17:54:00 <ash_> and then a power failure here killed my login session :(
17:54:07 <stefan> uni's tightened up security the past few years too, no more irc :\
17:54:11 <stefan> but we can proxy it it seems
17:54:30 <stefan> and they never allowed ssh, but I set up reverse ssh in the past, just can't remember how offhand
17:55:00 <ash_> a lot of our servers from my work are colo'd on pultney
17:55:15 <stefan> yeah, it seems they route everything through pultney street now, despite the fiber pits for aarnet being down by the river
17:55:23 <stefan> they do use optus for transit though
17:55:34 <stefan> and peer with internode & aarnet as well
17:55:46 <ash_> there is some new facility though, on the actual campus
17:55:48 <ash_> plaza
17:55:51 <ash_> i think is the name
17:55:55 <ash_> that's pretty awesome
17:56:10 <stefan> plaza's the comp sci building, has been for ages
17:56:29 <ash_> yeah on the ground floor there's a new data centre
17:56:33 <stefan> ITS is somewhat seperate to comp sci, but they still have some infrastructure there
17:56:59 <stefan> they have one of the many fibre channel raid arrays in comp sci still, but not sure what else ITS has around
17:57:29 <stefan> don't know if you knew, but a few years back when they were doing construction up on north tce they hit a water main, water came flooding down straight plaza and threatening the barr smith library too
17:57:41 <ash_> lol
17:57:42 <stefan> took out a fuckload of servers and one of the (many) redundant fibre channel arrays used by ITS
17:58:06 <stefan> and the labs are left on generally too, not sure if they took them out as well
17:58:21 <stefan> but water flowing from the roof is not good
17:58:35 <ash_> a few months back they had an air conditioner blow up at pultney and spew oil all over the floor, which triggered fire alarms and shut down all of the power
17:59:08 <ash_> and they had some random guys in chemical suits walking around cleaning it up
17:59:15 <stefan> heh, I think it was aapt's datacenter in brisbane that had the airconditioner spewing water after maintenance and had to power off the whole place
17:59:44 <ash_> sometimes having all of that expensive gear can introduce problems
18:00:11 <stefan> yeah, if it's the one I'm thinking of it was a liebert aircon too, not one you'd expect to fail like that
18:02:01 <ash_> k gonna head off
18:02:03 <ash_> friday woohoo
18:02:15 <ash_> this week went pretty quick
18:02:16 <ash_> catcha later
18:02:25 <stefan> yeah, tis nice, though friday's my busy day
18:02:26 <stefan> later
