[06:47] <smoser> erichammond, alestic.com seems to be sad
[06:47] <smoser> i'm getting timeouts
[06:49]  * flaccid goes to check
[06:49] <flaccid> i can confirm that
[06:58] <flaccid> how you been smoser ?
[06:58] <smoser> not bad.
[06:59] <smoser> you ?
[06:59] <smoser> i owe you an email .. its on my todo list (regarding using launching official ubuntu amis)
[06:59] <flaccid> pretty good thanks
[07:00] <flaccid> yep, no problems.  you could send that to support@rightscale.com and ask for an enhancement request, but cc me at chris.fordham@rightscale.com and i'll get in touch with our team that does the images directly
[07:00] <flaccid> personally, i'm trying to find time to get a debian kernel going with pvgrub..
[07:26] <smoser> you going to come to UDS ?
[07:28] <flaccid> probably not. got a URL to the event?
[07:33] <smoser> flaccid, http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-n/
[07:34] <flaccid> ah october in USA. yeah i just got back from usa and probably won't be back for a few months
[07:34] <flaccid> i am resident in Australia..
[07:37] <smoser> booh
[07:38] <smoser> didn't know where you were, east would have made sense, you have funny hours from my perspective (us eastern)
[07:38] <flaccid> yep +10.00
[08:36] <erichammond> smoser, flaccid: http://alestic.com was revived.  A different web site on the server was being flooded by a botnet and I had to take counter measures.
[08:36] <smoser> erichammond, thanks for your post on the mountall issue
[08:37] <erichammond> smoser: and for all your work.
[08:38] <erichammond> It seemed like not everybody was getting the message through ec2ubuntu and launchpad, so I thought I'd spread it a bit further.
[08:52] <ehsantux> Salaam,
[08:52] <ehsantux> My Dear Friends
[08:52] <ehsantux> I have some questions about Cloud Computing
[08:53] <ehsantux> I want to implement a VCL(Virtual Computing Lab) in our University.
[08:53] <ehsantux> and I want to use a cloud computing solution to implement it.
[08:54] <kim0> ehsantux: please explain in more detail what will that lab be doing
[08:55] <ehsantux> something like this: vclcloud.org
[08:55] <ehsantux> Building a website that users can login and register in it.
[08:56] <ehsantux> and make a reservation system
[08:56] <ehsantux> and submit their jobs in my cloud and get their results
[08:57] <kim0> what kind of "jobs"
[08:57] <ehsantux> High computing jobs
[08:57] <kim0> so like HPC
[08:57] <ehsantux> yep
[08:58] <kim0> all jobs are batch in background
[08:59] <ehsantux> and I want to overlap the grid system to my cloud
[08:59] <ehsantux> people don't need install softwares like Matlab,Gaussian,...
[09:00] <ehsantux> We do it for them
[09:00] <ehsantux> they just submit their jobs and task
[09:00] <ehsantux> and reserve the system
[09:01] <ehsantux> Cant I implement this with Eucalyptus or Opennebula?
[09:04] <kim0> since non of the core devs are talking .. my own opinion is that you don't really need virtualization nor multi-tenancy nor ec2 api compatbility
[09:04] <kim0> you need a HPC grid .. with a batch job scheduling system ... google for "rocks cluster"
[09:05] <kim0> and you might need to write a web front end for submitting jobs/results
[09:06] <ehsantux> So I don't need a cloud solution?
[09:07] <ehsantux> I want to overlap my grid system to a cloud?
[09:07] <ehsantux> Is it possible?
[09:18] <kim0> ehsantux: everything is possible if you code it .. but it's really not needed and not too easy
[19:42] <daker> kim0, anything from the IS ?
[21:36] <kim0> daker: howdy ... not really .. jono says let's bug em next week
[21:37] <daker> fine
[21:44] <daker> kim0,  i think *.u.c should have some priority
[21:44] <kim0> daker: yeah :/ it's just the guys are hyper busy it seems
