l this is aimed at young pepple 11+  , oh yeah i got asked for some help yesterday  so could end up fixing things,
<Azelphur> dwatkins: haha, I have that reputation amongst anyone that knows me, I don't particularly mind
<Azelphur> I just follow a simple policy, If (windows box) { nope not helping }
<smittix> COD4 time
<dwatkins> heh, I'm quite a long way from Paignton - 500 miles
<Azelphur> barring special circumstances anyway
<dwatkins> Azelphur: yeah, I don't mind either - it's amusing when I get questions on facebook like "we reset the laptop to factory settings but Vista still boots up, what do we do to reset it?"
<Azelphur> dwatkins: 266 here :(
<zleap> Azelphur, i know someone in brixixham like that,,  however he is willing to help fix windows as long as they agree to try Linux,   so far quite a few people have asked for help migrating to Linux as its better
<Azelphur> dwatkins: haha :D
 * dwatkins is in Edinburgh
<dwatkins> I'm guessing they'd just reset the BIOS, Azelphur
<Azelphur> zleap: yea, I'm sort of like that, If you've got a decent reason for sticking to Windows I will generally help, or if your willing to give Linux a shot :)
<Azelphur> random things, I made a cool IRC bot in python+twisted with in 30 minutes
<dwatkins> zleap: for these same people, I put Ubuntu on their hard disk as a backup OS, since their kids had managed to riddle Windows with viruses, so they could still get online and do stuff when (not if) it happened again
<zleap> ideally what i would like to do is bring in external groups,  to give talks,   on related subjects,   or organise events where this can happen,
<jacobw> what does it use twisted for?
<Azelphur> jacobw: IRC?
<Azelphur> twisted being a networking framework and all
<jacobw> yus
<Azelphur> lol
<jacobw> i would have thought python had its own irc modules
<Azelphur> basically, it can send notifications from pretty much anything to IRC
<dwatkins> handy
<zleap> dwatkins, sounds a good plan  I have a stack of Linux cd's here,  from 10.04. 10.10 and some 11.04
