I worked on the client being able to make request to the server for pending jobs for a user. Wrote the server and client code for that. This week I ll be evaluating different formats for data storage in AB and deciding on the best one and also need to solve some issues with gaia PPA upload.

I made some updates to the way users are displayed on MeB.org, deployed a bunch of stuff, added new supporters. Reviewed plenty of GSoC stuff and answered some questions. And reviewed MBS PRs.
Well, I did some somewhat unsuccessful work on reviving the VM at OSUOSL.
But I guess that’s a later topic, so fin.

I had some technical difficulties over the past couple weeks, but I've resolved them and will be more active. I've scheduled some time to speak with Quora about the status of his project.
I also have some upgrades to rika in my sights and some work on BB.
Fin.
ruaok
LordSputnik: ?
is rika even up?
I think we should move rika to google cloud and be done with it.
Leftmost
I'm fine with that.
ruaok
QuoraUK: go
QuoraUK
Hi!
Leftmost
I have no attachment to the box itself and I'm hoping to move it to something dockery.
ruaok
Leftmost: let me know when you want a VM for it.
Leftmost
Will do, thanks.
ruaok
rika never worked very well and was just a pain all around.
QuoraUK
I integrated my achievement system into the profile pages, and allow users to select which badges and titles they want to display on their page, also got a bunch of new achievements added to the system that all work properly :D
Leftmost does not disagree.
Got some sql stuff merged into master, and arranged new meeting times with Leftmost and LordSputnik for the coming weeks
fin.
ruaok
so, zas already covered what happened last week.
zas
covered... not really
ruaok
traumatic. loss of sleep. it was utterly fucking painful.
I could really do without ever doing that again.

turns out all of this was digital west's problem.
but they never said what they fixed and they just didn't take us seriously.
yea, I get that we've been having a lot of problems, but we never asked them for help.
when we did ask for help, they mostly ignored us.
it wasn't until I emailed the CEO that we finally got some attention.
the other thing that this underscored is that we're massively living on borrowed time.
our machines are brittle and ready to die.
we knew that, but it is far worse that I expected.
so, rather than spend more weeks hunting down every little aspect of what might be going wrong, we're going to go all hands on deck to dockerize everything and then move to NewHost
zas
to be honest it wasn't only DWNI fault, we did few errors causing even more chaos, but to be short: it was a very frustrating mess.
ruaok
as. soon. as. possible.
yeah.
the kicker? the guy we hired to do the switch replacement became ill in the middle of it.
today is his first day back at work.
things went so bad, it even broke murphy's law.
zas
Murphy's law²
CatQuest
:O
ruaok
CatQuest: we've picked on.
one
CatQuest
oohhh
wich one?
ruaok
but that doesn't mean we can start moving.
hetzner.
we need to do massive amount of prep work before the move.
CatQuest
things needto be in order first
ruaok
yes.
chirlu
Also “just choose another” is not so great if changing costs a lot of money.
ruaok
that too.
CatQuest
chirlu: better than if that was a reason for delay, tho
ruaok
but hopefully we can make everything modular so it becomes a lot less of a hassle.
anyways.
chirlu
CatQuest: You will pay for the bill, then? :-)
CatQuest
chirlu: dude
ruaok
in other topics, Universal owes us $38. Google $40k.
and our bank account is looking pretty good due to chrisskye's work.
chirlu
$38 or $38k?
ruaok
k
chirlu
Bit of a difference. ;-)
zas
yeah ;)
ruaok
so, that means that we should hire another perl developer.
ruaok is tired and not tracking well, sorry
we have the money and bitmap needs help
so, if you know someone, please send them to bitmap/me
onward.
not sure what Freso had in mind with the mid term evals.
let me look at the schedule.
bitmap
well, they start today
ruaok
in the meantime, reosarevok & chirlu: freedb gateway.
