I'd rather you tend to your baby first :) 16:47:26 <alpo> i think that might be a distraction 16:47:31 <justis> alpo: ok 16:47:49 <alpo> (but i would like to have such a router... tunnels + ipv6, etc) 16:48:08 <justis> maybe we can have it by June ;) 16:48:21 <justis> billf_: any other nominations for cross-posting? 16:49:20 <billf_> not that I can think of 16:50:23 <justis> billf_: is it on LinkedIn yet? 16:50:50 <alpo> TKLC network is going down and up "like a tart's knickers" 16:51:01 <billf_> i don't remember if i got to linkedin 16:51:03 <justis> alpo: o.O 16:51:09 <billf_> i think i did 16:52:28 <justis> Do we have room for one more speaker?
