Happy Tuesday
man, the 15th already?!  it'll be christmas again before we know it...
Wooo Tuesday! Wait, what's so special about Tuesday?
Tuesday's coming, did you bring your coat?
I live in a giant bucket
staticsafe: did you just post to outages@? :)
mercutio: i did
heh
small world
that cable's been out for 5 days apparently :/
i'd noticed high pings to singapore
indeed
but thought it was probably blizzard's fault
A repair ship, the ASEAN Explorer is set to arrive on the fault site on February 7, with an estimated resolution date of February 11.
yeh
i read that
its' a very long time
some isp's are routing a VERY long way around it
some are routing via HK/Japan
some are more like "let's jump to the US and back again"
indeed
but
how did you know about it?
it's hardly been in any news
someone talked about it in #linode
oh
from nz or au?
nz
heh
apaprently the biggest isp here is having 2 hour emali delays because of it
which is pathetic
outsourcing e-mail indeed
yeh
running at 80%+ load? :)
i don't find outages list that useful
it's hard to really know when random things go down
aye
damn, #linode has 424 users in their channel
Feels like their population's declined a bit
this channel has had some drop off lately too
yet business still grows, so not sure what is up...
this channel has been dead
i dunno, i'd say it's cos it's summer
but most people it's winter for
it's winter here :)
isn't irc most often the result of having to much time? :)
(or needing 0day help)
hah
i definitely don't have too much time, but i still like irc :)
jbergstroem: lots of people just idle a lot
Anyone know what a low cost option is for getting an SSL cert that validates with a Green Bar in browsers like IE
green bar?
i know namecheap are cheap for ssl certs, but have no idea about this green bar thing
facebook has no green bar
in ie
something like http://www.itdonut.co.uk/sites/default/files/firefox_ie_green_bar.jpg
I think that's a "verified" cert or something
relatively new
er, validated
represents that the CA has doen super-extensive validation abd background checks
One option (and some more information) http://www.startssl.com/?app=30
Paypal and the like have it
brycec: thanks
(I've used StartSSL's free cert with no probs)
np mnathani

oh paypal
no it doesn't
Paypal: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3167967/screenshot_2013-01-15_20-00-36.png
(in the latest chrome-dev)
weird mine doesn't
oh
i thought we were talking about ie
try IE
versus regular facebook https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3167967/screenshot_2013-01-15_20-00-56.png
ok in chrome it shows green
so paypal green bar in chrome but not ie
i should check facebook in chrome
does the startssl free cert work without installing a trusted root authority in the OS?
recent veresion of IE?
mnathani: yes
nah
facebook has green https
but no green bar
mnathani: which is why startssl > cacert.org
it's ie 10 i think
Well no explaining why the EV isn't showing for you mercutio *shrug*
i can't say i normally use ie
http://postimage.org/image/s4s5wc0t3/full/
I _never_ use it
ewwww Win8
Let's just blame it on Win8
windows 8 is the new standard
as much as it may pain you to hear that
it's no worse than vista
my standard is Linux, so there :P
yeh well i like openbsd
but yeah openbsd is even worse than linux for video card support
apparently now days you're meant to use intel onboard video if you want open source drivers
i thought ati were ok, but that was in 5000 days, in 7000 days limited support
brycec: how long are the startssl certs valid?  I got this message when registering:  You will be able to use this verification for the next 30 days, after which it expires and must be renewed.
mnathani: 1yr as I recall
think that's just for signing up
(been awhile)
yup, just installed and verified
it pays to idle in here :-)
heh
and I was going to go with a namecheap low cost ssl cert
It Pays to Idle in Here(tm),  tell your friends
;)
lol
What do you guys use for cloud based Email? I used to use the free version of Google Apps, but they have since discontinued that version.
what's PST?
compared to GMT?
GMT - 8:00 if I am not mistaken
ok
so it's 7:53 pm pst atm?
yes mercutio
https://www.google.com/search?q=time+in+california&oq=time+in+california&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
oh i didn't think of that
but yes
i googled PST TO GMT
and it didn't work
mph to kmh works :/
mnathani: I use GApps (still). Don't know what I would use if setting up a completely new domain. (or I would just alias the domain to an existing GApps)
i saw the twitter thing about 9 pm pst coresite making changes thing
not that it proably maeks much diff
I went down the road of trying alternatives like Office365 and their Exchange Online, not free but lacking so many features that I took for granted with Google Apps
Another thing that bothers me is that I am so used to Gmail / Google App style conversation email that anything else just does not work.
lol
Not to mention other goodies like labels, filters, the ability to send using different from accounts via the respective SMTP servers from within gmail
How does one get quick screenshot links using Dropbox ?
ping timeout!
hiccup!
wee
wee
mnathani: I wrote a script, it looks something like this https://gist.github.com/3741684
now it looks exactly like that
oo, i see the twitter post account the maintenance now
>.>
milki: the one in PST?
9pm-2am
you never know it may go bette :)
2 more hours!
i'm weary when people talk about enhancements :)
hehe
things seem normal atm
