[00:10] locate|grep string === sparkle_history is now known as sparklehistory [03:20] Takyoji: I connect to Freenode with SASL now, but that's about it. [03:20] kermit: uh, a) that's redundant, b) I don't think that's what he meant. [03:20] Takyoji: grep has a recursive option. [03:22] ahh [03:22] One question that I never feel that I'm absolute complete with is: How would you define open source to a person? [03:23] absolutely complete with is* [03:24] refer to blue prints [03:24] blueprints [03:25] The example I typically use is a cookie and a cookie recipe. [03:25] recipe is good [03:26] Takyoji: depends on a) who the person is, and b) how much time you have [03:26] Pretty much [03:27] Eventually I just want to make a basic diagram (but nothing too extensive at all) [08:50] how about.. "you know those electronics with the really weird screws noone has the right tools to unscrew? that's the opposite of open source." [16:12] kermit: I suppose that's pretty accurate [19:05] I feel like such a nerd. xP [19:05] I had a dream that I had ran an installfest locally. [19:05] Takyoji: how about.. "you know those electronics with the really weird screws noone has the right tools to unscrew? that's the opposite of open source." [19:06] Ooo, that's a brilliant idea [19:06] Takyoji: thanks [19:06] is MN doing anything for the upcoming Global Jam? [19:07] Takyoji: i like how it inspires a more emotional response, because a lot of people have actually tried to open such electronics and been frustrated [19:07] When they even go off on their own tangent away from industry standards to have their own obscure screw set, and so forth [19:07] How about the electronics with NO external screws? :P [19:08] Now those are just a ball of fun (sarcasm implied) [19:09] Where the casing is two plastic parts, and there's internal latches that hold it together [19:09] one could argue that's for cheap assembly though [19:10] or plastic that's ultrasonically welded together === mr_steve_ is now known as mr_steve [19:10] heheh [19:16] I've been harvesting components from old/broken electronics, and I end up using the sledgehammer to take things apart half the time [19:17] heh [19:24] I have a Cisco 2507 ($125) and a Catalyst 1900-24 ($50) for sale, if anyone is intererested. ($150 for both) Local Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN only.) [19:31] Holy ****, my Ambiance Cold got a blog mention: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/5-ubuntu-light-inspired-gtk-themes.html [19:34] Obsidian1723: you forgot to spam #tclug [19:36] kermit, paste it for me :D [20:37] SCORE!! I just got 10 1U rackmount servers for free. [20:45] wow! did the truck have license plates? ;) [20:53] heheheh [20:53] \cart actually. [20:53] Going to give them away free. [20:58] i'll take one! [20:58] what part of town ya in? [20:59] northeast, close to downtown [20:59] actually i don't know what i'd do with it... [20:59] I need to be downtown tonight, yah, you can have one. [20:59] unless its a short depth [20:59] er no, no 1U in a short depth [20:59] hieght [21:00] depth is maybe 1.5 - 2 feet? like a large pizza box [21:00] height is 1U = 1.75" [21:00] oh that sounds awefully short! [21:00] You know that Taco Bell on the corner of Cedar? [21:01] by Whiskey Junction, there is that Taco Bell. [21:01] hmm i need 16" [21:01] deep? [21:01] yeah [21:01] about this shape http://cgi.ebay.com/Short-Depth-2U-Rackmount-Server-Chassis-Rack-Case-NEW_W0QQitemZ370337691382QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5639d8b6f6 [21:02] why are you giving away servers? [21:02] why not? [21:02] Not sure if they work or not, but I dont want to see them go into the heap. [21:02] That one in the picture is like 3U tall, but this one is the same depth [21:03] I didnt pay for them. [21:03] i'm using a pentium 133 with 64MB of ram for my fileserver, that would be a nice upgrade if i can fit 4 drives in it [21:03] Not in mine, no. [21:03] in that pictures one, perhaps. [21:03] like I say, if ya want one, cool. If not, cool. === sparkle_history is now known as sparklehistory
