Re: [Toolserver-l] Reminder: Account expiry and migration - I just deleted my account

2014-04-20 Thread Michael Andersen
Imagecopy.py + imagecopy_self.py + tag_nowcommons.py are still not working (for 
me) on labs but I'm sure it will be fixed in future. So I took the hard 
decision to kill my account now that everything else was working.

Bye bye Toolserver... I will miss you. 

Even if you get a brand new car the first car will always be something special 
- and Toolserver will always be something special to remember :-)

Thank you all and good luck to everyone!

A special thank you goes to DaB for everything

Cheers 
Michael

Emne: [Toolserver-l] Reminder: Account expiry and migration

Hi all!

Just a little reminder:

Your toolserver accounts will expire on January 6th, 2014. You can renew it 
with acctrenew as usual.

If you had an expired account and you want to come back and collect your
data: Your account has been reactivated until that date. You can login to 
nightshade and use the script "byebye" to collect your stuff. It will create a 
new directory inside your home directory called FarewellBundle.
This directory contains tarballs of almost everything you had on the 
toolserver. The only thing you have to take care of separately is your stuff in 
/mnt/user-store. Please download the data you don't need on the toolserver any 
longer!

If you don't need your account any longer you can delete it using the script 
"burnbridges". It will delete everything but your ~/public_html/.htaccess files 
in case you have a redirect to Tool Labs.
For us, it would be very helpful if you deleted you data yourselves.

If you find some time before January 6th, please consider migrating your tools 
to Tool Labs [1][2], as the toolserver will be discontinued in mid 2014. If you 
hit barriers that prevent you from migrating, please create bugs in Bugzilla 
[3]! We can meet in an IRC office hour in January to discuss them. The office 
hour will be announced separately at the beginning of January.

Best, Silke

Re: [Toolserver-l] Cron on submit

2013-02-13 Thread Michael Andersen
I just noticed the text when you login:

"Users are now encouraged to use job scheduling (SGE) for *all* tools!"

Perhaps "encouraged" is no longer the right way to write it?

I've been busy and sick so I did not manage to rewrite my tasks so I stopped 
them all instead. Perhaps someone could create a tool to extend the number of 
hours per day? :-D

There was an announcement on toolserver-l a while back about a new rule that 
should be in effect now, which should resolve some of these
problems:

Re: [Toolserver-l] Interwiki-Bots

2010-01-07 Thread Michael Andersen
I think it would be a good idea to replace the fully automated iw-bots with a 
multi-maintainer-bot.

You can also do iw "manually" where you (as human) choose with iw-link to 
accept. Therefore it should also be possible to have bots you can run/operate 
"manually".

I think there are many things that are done at the different projects where it 
would be possible to share bots. But let's start with iw and see how it works.

So if it was because of the hot water please also take a hot shower tomorrow ;-)

Emne: [Toolserver-l] Interwiki-Bots

Hello all,

while I was under the shower today, I got the following weird idea: We have 
several interwiki-bots on the toolserver, that do more or less the same, but by 
different ts-users. Some bots run old versions of the software, some stop for 
unknown reason and were never restarted (properly because the ts-user
left) and some just work how they should. Often I read in the wikimedia- 
projects (most time in my homewiki dewp of corse), that there are problems with 
a bot (because it add a wrong interwiki-link again) and the users don't know 
how to contact the bot-owner and what they should do.

So my idea: Amalgamate all interwiki-bots (in the same programming-language of
corse) into 1 multi-maintainer-project. The advantages would be, that we would 
use lesser resources, the bot-maintainer could work together, they could use a 
database together, it would be easier for wikimedia-project-user to contact us 
(in jira for example or with a mailinglist), if something is wrong, it would be 
easier to contact the bot-software-maintainer and so on.

Any thoughts about that? Good idea or a "you had too much hot water in the 
shower"-idea?

Sincerly,
DaB.
