00:00 <TwoFangs> tracky dacks, t-shirt & flanno was my uniform of choice today :)
00:00 <katatonic_kate01> thongs too?
00:00 <morphix> The uni is quite liberal on what to where
00:00 <morphix> just no t-shirts
00:00 <TwoFangs> probably more complex sysem at the university, morphix?
00:00 <morphix> or thongs
00:00 <katatonic_kate01> thongs FTW
00:00 <TwoFangs> +1
00:00 <katatonic_kate01> as long as you don't wear crocs
01:00 <morphix> yeh, except @ uni it a blend of windows server & a small footprint of RHEL
01:00 <TwoFangs> yeah - i'd probably draw the line at crocs, too :P
01:00 <morphix> atleast @ Exetel it was all Debian servers (30 of them)
01:00 <TwoFangs> it often amazes me just how many servers actually run windows...
01:00 <katatonic_kate01> ah you're speaking Japanese here….
02:00 <TwoFangs> at least they were immune to heartbleed i guess...
03:00 <TwoFangs> different operating systems, kat
04:00 <TwoFangs> what was Exetel like to work at, morphix?
05:00 <katatonic_kate01> oh, i see. Riveting stuff !
05:00 <katatonic_kate01> it's good - helps lull me to sleep
05:00 <TwoFangs> hahahah
06:00 <katatonic_kate01> I need some music!
06:00 <TwoFangs> what sort of music are you into?
07:00 <morphix> TwoFangs: good, for the most part
07:00 <morphix> except i was travelling from central coast to North Sydney and back each day
07:00 <morphix> was like 5-6 hours travelling
07:00 <morphix> :/
07:00 <katatonic_kate01> hmmmm
07:00 <lx> ...ah huh...
08:00 <TwoFangs> Ah yep. I've been doing the southern highlands to Sydney thing for a while now...
08:00 <morphix> between driving my car from home to the train station and then getting on train, swapping at hornsby or so
08:00 <katatonic_kate01> painful!
08:00 <morphix> yep
08:00 <katatonic_kate01> where on the coast?
09:00 <morphix> At the time, Budgewoi
09:00 <katatonic_kate01> oh ew
09:00 <katatonic_kate01> that's an epic drive
09:00 <katatonic_kate01> I'd move to sydney!
09:00 <katatonic_kate01> Not much on the coast
10:00 <morphix> Yep
10:00 <morphix> lol
10:00 <morphix> i was planning to, then i met a girl and we hit it off
10:00 <morphix> .. still together now
10:00 <morphix> 8 years on
10:00 <katatonic_kate01> ah, nice
10:00 <katatonic_kate01> still… the central coast
10:00 <katatonic_kate01> annoying
10:00 <katatonic_kate01> awesome beaches but that's about it
11:00 <morphix> lol yeh
11:00 <morphix> I live in Newcastle now
11:00 <morphix> so obv i work @ Newcastle Uni
11:00 <katatonic_kate01> geeze
11:00 <katatonic_kate01> even worse! 
11:00 <katatonic_kate01> Good ol' newcastle uni
12:00 <morphix> lol, i like Newcastle
12:00 <katatonic_kate01> yeah, I don't
12:00 <TwoFangs> Newcastle ain't a bad place
12:00 <katatonic_kate01> I went to the Ourimbah campus for a little bit
12:00 <morphix> ah ok
13:00 <morphix> thats the "Flood campus"
13:00 <katatonic_kate01> lol
13:00 <morphix> cause thats all it does during heavy rain
13:00 <morphix> lol
13:00 <katatonic_kate01> yeah, such an awesome location!
13:00 <katatonic_kate01> :/
13:00 <katatonic_kate01> I did some early childhood stuff there
14:00 <katatonic_kate01> a degree I never completed….
14:00 <morphix> oh ok
14:00 <morphix> I've never gone to that campus
14:00 <katatonic_kate01> I have an awesome hobby - it's called racking up a HECS debt
14:00 <katatonic_kate01> yeah don't bother
14:00 <katatonic_kate01> well… it's nice
14:00 <morphix> like, i've dropped my fiance off there when she was going there
14:00 <morphix> and ive done some overtime there for networks and comms doing phone replacements (from Avaya to Cisco)
14:00 <morphix> and thats it
14:00 <morphix> lol
15:00 <katatonic_kate01> I wish my work would update our phone system
15:00 <katatonic_kate01> povo bastards
15:00 <morphix> its hard to find people on IRC who just see Newcastle and go "So you're in the UK?"
15:00 <morphix> lol
15:00 <katatonic_kate01> lol
15:00 <morphix> who dont*
16:00 <morphix> Well still have analog too, certain areas
16:00 <morphix> and for fax lines obv
16:00 <katatonic_kate01> well this is Austnet - so you're safe here 
16:00 <katatonic_kate01> when are fax machines going to be redundant !
16:00 <morphix> should have been 10 years ago
16:00 <morphix> lol
16:00 <katatonic_kate01> I hate using them. I'd rather scan, attached email
17:00 <morphix> Yep
17:00 <morphix> if you _really_ need to send the fax
17:00 <morphix> i just use Exetels Email2Fax
18:00 <morphix> :P
18:00 <katatonic_kate01> well….
18:00 <katatonic_kate01> i still use inotes….
18:00 <katatonic_kate01> and half the time it never works
19:00 <katatonic_kate01> I could send smoke signals faster at times!
19:00 <morphix> lol
19:00 <katatonic_kate01> yeah exactly! LOL!
20:00 <katatonic_kate01> I could just find another job, but it's pretty cushie at the moment
20:00 <morphix> lol
20:00 <morphix> I'm going to doing some self-refresher stuff on RHEL over Xmas
20:00 <morphix> and then hopefully early next year do the RHEL exam
20:00 <katatonic_kate01> um… awesome
21:00 <morphix> Red Hat Enterprise Linnux
21:00 <morphix> fyi
21:00 <morphix> -n
21:00 <morphix> lol
21:00 <TwoFangs> I'd say just do the exame... there really isn't much difference between Debian and RHEL
21:00 <TwoFangs> *exam
21:00 <morphix> yeh, but knowing my luck there will be a few RHEL only BS that i'll miss
22:00 <morphix> and its $400, which isn't really much but eh
22:00 <morphix> nfw am i doing the full course tho
22:00 <morphix> they want $4000
22:00 <morphix> they can cram that up their...
22:00 <TwoFangs> strewth
22:00 <TwoFangs> is passing a RHEL exam a requirement of the course?
23:00 <morphix> nope
23:00 <morphix> you do the course firt, and then take the exam if you want
23:00 <morphix> lol
23:00 <morphix> first*
23:00 <TwoFangs> then i'd just download an ISO and run with it for a bit :)
23:00 <morphix> yeh, i have full access to RHEL from the uni
24:00 <TwoFangs> even better
24:00 <morphix> and i have some 4 hours worth of official training videos for the RHEL stuff
24:00 <morphix> from the people who do the course
24:00 <morphix> of the erm.. interwebs
24:00 <morphix> off*
24:00 <TwoFangs> hahahah
24:00 <morphix> I'd say i'd be fine, ive been using *nix for years
25:00 <morphix> its just some stupid RHEL proprietary crap will be my downfall i bet
25:00 <morphix> :P
31:00 <TwoFangs> Most of our stuff in CentOS, which is basically Redhat without the cost or support.
33:00 <TwoFangs> But I would assume universites would get it for super cheap, so they're not too bothered.
34:00 <morphix> Yeh
49:00 <annoy> dead katatonic_kate01
49:00 <katatonic_kate01> I am, yep
