[14:16:10] <SoyCow6588> Well, have a great afternoon everyone. I'm off to do something that could pass for being productive if you look at it from the correct angle in bad light.
[14:14:31] <Bytram|alt> I'm about to boot it up
[14:14:17] <Bytram|alt> so, I've got the lappy powered down and I have the CdROM in the drive (SystemRecoverCd)
[14:13:37] <takyon> news search is great
[14:13:09] <SoyCow6588> (bad timing - I was commenting on the web search vs news thing in google)
[14:12:38] <SoyCow6588> Not sure how I feel about that. But hey, I've learned something, I can go back to bed now, today was a success ;)
[14:12:35] <takyon> your sub was not rejected because it was poorly written
[14:11:46] <SoyCow6588> OK, so the google thing was my bad. Kind of. The story appears under news and not a normal web search.
[14:10:58] <takyon> someone find the submission link
[14:09:55] <SoyCow6588> Well, my story was rejected, probably because it wasn't well written ;) So if someone wants to submit a story I think there will be people who will appreciate it. I'm going to try to figure out why google is hiding stuff from me.
[14:09:26] <takyon> those are search result links right
[14:08:19] <SoyCow6588> Thanks Janrinok
[14:07:57] <SoyCow6588> The .com and .co.za are giving completely different results, and not region specific either.
[14:07:56] <janrinok> SoyCow6588: I have checked the co.za link, and it doesn't mention the outage. The .fr does as does .uk

[14:01:32] <takyon> we can run it today I guess if it's still happening
[14:01:04] <SoyCow6588> I don't know how much is still down, but bnough that fo since Friday I've come across an average of 5 highish profile (to me at least) sites a day.
[14:00:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> takyon: *LOTS* of sourceforge is still down
[14:00:24] <janrinok> well, my own viewpoint mirrors that of takyon - sourceforge have admitted having technical problems (they host all 3 sites), and it is a none-story to many of us. Should we report every site that goes down for tech problems?
[14:00:14] <AndyTheAbsurd> SoyCow5936: you can always create an account on SoylentNews and post stories yourself in your journal. If they got enough attention from users, they'd probably get picked up by the editors. (And you can optionally submit them as stories as well.)
[14:00:08] <takyon> how much is still down
[13:59:26] <SoyCow6588> You mention a banner on Slashdot - I haven't seen one. And yet sites like amanda backup and backuppc are still down, along with their wikis.
[13:59:15] -!- SoyCow5936 [SoyCow5936!~a6b50388@166.181.s.wqs] has joined #Soylent
[13:58:57] <SoyCow6588> With respect, and I'm sure there is a lot I don't get, but it seems like a bit of an oversight. Especially since I saw nothing about this on slash or soylent. It kind of defeats the purpose of having tech news sites when they either don't run stories or gloss over them really fast.
[13:56:46] <takyon> I understand that sourceforge experienced problems like 1-2 days later
[13:56:25] <takyon> back when it first happened there was no update on slashdot.org, then when they added a banner I was like "OK, this is over"
[13:55:32] <takyon> outage of slashdot/dice didn't seem like interesting news is my reason
[13:55:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> because why send traffic to them? And also part of the reason that SN exists is for people that have gotten fed up with the situation at slashdot.
[13:54:11] <SoyCow6588> Slashdot is apparently killing the stories too. Why would y ou kill it if it were just slashdot?
[13:53:17] <takyon> back when it was just slashdot
[13:53:12] <takyon> well we killed the initial stories
[13:51:30] <SoyCow6588> OK, so this failure means that many many sourcefrge projects have been offline (maintenance mode) for about a week. Including some high profile services. Nobody else think this is worth attention?
[13:42:52] <SoyCow6588> Good afternoon (or appropriate time of day) everyone. I have quick question - does everyone know about the recent server failures at slashdot media, and if so is there a reson I can't find any mention of it anywhere?

[12:21:27] <janrinok> we change in May and October but all the old reasons seem to be irrelevant nowadays
[12:20:39] <AndyTheAbsurd> The US is on DST something like eight months out of the year now; and standard time only four months.
[12:19:28] <janrinok> I'm not sure who it is supposed to be helping nowadays
[12:19:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> you'd have to be drunk to think that DST is a good idea.
[12:19:05] <janrinok> been there, seen it, wear the t-shirt
[12:18:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> but instead, we have to be four hours earlier than UTC part of the year and five hours earlier than UTC the rest of the year.
[12:18:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> If we didn't have that, I'd have a static offset from UTC and could just add the correct value
[12:17:39] <AndyTheAbsurd> the real problem is Daylight Saving Time, actually.
[12:16:59] <janrinok> yup
[12:16:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> and of course the better version of the Joda-Time documentation is hosted on sourceforge which is down.
