[00:14] <Takyoji> So apparently the "potential" location is a church rectory..
[00:14] <Takyoji> that has a wireless network
[00:49] <Takyoji> What would be the most straightforward approach to "fixing" bad sectors on an NTFS partition?
[01:13] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji: probably booting Windows with chkdsk
[01:13] <Takyoji> That's what I'm resorting to
[01:25] <kermit> if you have bad sectors, your drive is shot
[01:25] <kermit> if yuo see them, then it's already used up all the spares
[01:25] <kermit> so is rocketing it's way toward death
[01:40] <Takyoji> So I'm having a mild moral dilemma.
[01:41] <Takyoji> Basically about a year ago I implied I was willing on recreating this website, and having a CMS: http://divinemercycatholics.org/
[01:41] <Takyoji> time passed, and someone else implied willingness to help as well
[01:42] <Takyoji> So I've talked with the person and so forth; and apparently I found out today that he's requesting from them being paid $30/hour for each of us working on it. And I really don't want to be paid on this case.
[01:44] <Takyoji> And the general summary of what will be done is: the guy bought reseller hosting and is going to be a reseller, and have the church website hosted through his hosting plan (and have the church pay through him). The website will be a Wordpress installation, and the theme will just be something he bought elsewhere.
[01:44] <Takyoji> and perhaps other minor things to entail as well
[01:45] <Takyoji> Thing is, the church ministry already has a dedicated server; thus he wants them to get rid of it, and pretty much go to his shared hosting plan.
[01:46] <Takyoji> and says the hosting is a really good provider, it allows up to 80GB! Egad! (sarcastically implied)
[01:46] <Takyoji> Alternately, I just feel like going directly to the people, quickly installing Wordpress, and the other minor things, and just be over with it. And not have to charge for something so simplistic
[01:48] <Takyoji> as part of the person's proposal: "We have determined that we would like to move forward with Phase I with an estimate of 40-50 hours.  This will be to get the main site set up and then we can evaluate Phase II and a reasonable estimate.  We would bill the parish at a rate of $30/hour.   Fees for a new domain and purchse of the template will just be passed through.  These fees should be around $20 for a new domain name and $3
[01:48] <Takyoji> 0 for the template."
[01:49] <Takyoji> So essentially, assuming "50" man hours, the total would be $1550
[01:53] <Takyoji> The only issue with just going ahead on my own is that it be thought as kind of a "traitor" approach; and also, the person I would be working with is the one with the potential location, which is the old church rectory (which I just can't decide over yet entirely), for the installfest.
[01:54] <_diablo> ugh
[01:54] <_diablo> that's a messed up situation
[01:54] <Takyoji> I believe the person is also a part of the ministry board somehow
[01:59] <Takyoji> So I feel like I might do the latter option.
[02:19] <Takyoji> Also.. the person wants the domain "dmcc.ws"...
[02:19] <_diablo> gross. ttyl, heading out
[02:23] <Takyoji> alright
[02:38] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji: hosting organization sites on some dude's personal space is usually a bad idea, especially if there's a viable alternative.
[02:38] <tonyyarusso> .ws?  WTH is that?
[02:39] <Takyoji> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ws
[02:39] <Takyoji> And he thought it would be "creative" since "everyone's used to the ol .com, .org, .net, etc"
[02:39] <tonyyarusso> and this church group has what to do with Western Samoa?
[02:39] <Takyoji> Nothing at all
[02:39] <tonyyarusso> Idiot.
[02:39] <Takyoji> which is also why I'm strongly disagreeing
[02:39] <tonyyarusso> Is it even legal for you to get a .ws?
[02:40] <Takyoji> He said supposedly theirs some domain registrar in California that sells domains with that TLD...
[02:40] <tonyyarusso> oh, apparently it is.
[02:40] <tonyyarusso> This guy should be drugged and shoved under a bus stop bench.
[02:40] <Takyoji> Basically he wants to go from divinemercycatholics.org to dmcc.ws
[02:40] <Takyoji> heh
[02:41] <tonyyarusso> There is no dilemma here.  The guy's a moron.
[02:41] <Takyoji> Yep, I guess I can pretty much conclude that now.
[02:42] <Takyoji> There's another meeting on Thursday of which I'll be discussing with him and someone else.
[03:11] <Takyoji> I wonder if for physics notes that I should write such in LaTeX or MathML
