* canthus13 is attempting to boot crunchbang from his mp3 player.01:15
canthus13I can get to a boot: prompt, but no further.  I'm reinstalling right now.01:15
canthus13right now, I'm waiting for dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc to finish on a 16gb partition... over USB. :(01:16
paultagcanthus13, woo isolinux01:36
paultagcanthus13, what's the boot conf file?01:37
paultagcanthus13, are you telling it to boot via USB and not HD?01:37
paultagcanthus13, BRB, leave me messages :)01:37
canthus13I'll find out soon... I'm using this as a rough guide:  http://francisshanahan.com/index.php/2006/boot-linux-from-a-creative-zen-visionm/01:39
canthus13Blargh.. Now I have to wait for the stupid thing to finish formatting. :{01:41
BiosElementTwitter is epic...04:04
BiosElementthey actually don't delete idiots who have accounts just to list all the websites they've DDOS'd. >.>04:04
* canthus13 drools.04:18
Cheri703?04:18
* canthus13 makin' garlic & onion hash browns.04:18
Cheri703nice!04:18
canthus13From scratch. :)04:18
canthus13With fresh garlic....04:18
canthus13Bah. Forgot the chili pepper... Oh well. :)04:18
Cheri703you should be cooking them in a cast iron pan!04:18
Cheri703:)04:18
* canthus13 doesn't do cast iron.04:19
canthus13Too much of a pain to deal with.04:19
* Cheri703 hearts cast iron04:19
Cheri703and lard :) lately I've been frying things in lard04:19
Cheri703very nice and crispy04:19
canthus13Wife can't deal with cast iron.. She's got carpal tunnel syndrome.04:19
Cheri703ah, understandable04:19
* canthus13 frying in a combination of sausage grease and canoli.04:20
Cheri703that works :)04:20
Cheri703canola?04:20
canthus13Yeah.04:20
Cheri703:)04:20
canthus13Meh. Can't believe I screwed that one up.04:20
Cheri703heh04:20
Cheri703it's ok04:20
canthus13Yeah, but me being a spelling nazi and all...04:21
Cheri703I hate it when I make typos, just bugs me04:21
canthus13blah. I hate waiting for food.. :P04:24
Cheri703heh, yeah04:25
Unit193Cheri703: The heatsink and fan pop right off (lever/switch style) so that won't be the hard part....04:30
Cheri703awesome04:31
* canthus13 noms his potatoes and sausage.04:39
canthus13A little burnt but tasty. :)04:40
Cheri703potatoes and sausage is a popular combination in our house :)04:40
canthus13It's definitely missing the chili pepper. :/04:46
Cheri703what kind of sausage do you use?04:46
canthus13Umm.. Bah. don't remember the brand, but it's sage.04:46
canthus13Old Tennessee, I think.04:47
canthus13something like that. :P04:47
Cheri703nice04:48
Cheri703I like sage sausage04:48
Cheri703aldi has good prices on bulk sausage (1 lb rolls)04:48
canthus13I'll have to look next time I'm there...04:49
Cheri703yeah, their ground turkey (frozen) is really inexpensive as well, I get that for use in manwich type things04:49
canthus13Yup. That's one of the reasons I go there.04:50
Cheri703their frozen/refrigerated products are really good. the dry mixes and such, sometimes questionable04:51
canthus13Wal Mart had a great sale on chicken breast the other day... $1.25/lb. :)04:51
Cheri703they have good prices on salmon as well04:51
canthus13Cheri703: Save A Lot has better salmon.04:52
Cheri703interesting04:52
canthus13Save A Lot has better fish overall04:52
canthus13Lower sodium for the most part.04:52
Cheri703save a lot is....questionable in general, at least the one in columbus I went to04:52
canthus13Yeah.. but their frozen stuff is usually decent.. they cater to/rip off the food stamp crowd, tho.  early in the month, the prices are higher.04:53
Cheri703interesting04:54
canthus13(For meats, anyway)04:54
canthus13paultag: Hrm. I've got Knoppix booting.. Now to figure out why I can't get crunchbang to boot.  Better yet, I'd like to be able to choose one or the other at boot.05:49
BiosElementAmazon fail...: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/12/amazon-and-wikileaks-first-amendment-only-strong06:04
BiosElementcanthus13, I'm probably stating the obvious but grub2 'should' be able to see both of them.06:05
canthus13BiosElement: Sure, but the problem I'm having right now is that if I install just crunchbang, it sits at 'boot:' and can't find anything to  actually boot.06:13
canthus13Knoppix is still better than windows, though... and I've never seen it not recognize a piece of hardware.06:14
* canthus13 is happy. He booted off his MP3 player *AND* managed to get the stupid thing to start recognizing new MP3s copied onto it.06:15
canthus13Next project: upgrade it to a larger hard drive. :)06:15
Cheri703rawr rawr06:55
Unit193Yes?06:55
Cheri703eh, one of those things06:56
Unit193You have used Xchat and Pidgin for IRC right?06:56
Cheri703yeah06:57
Cheri703prefer xchat06:57
Cheri703actually used kvirc back on windows06:57
Unit193Thanks06:57
Unit193Why xchat?06:57
Cheri703just works for me06:58
Cheri703this guy who I used to talk to back in the day im'd me out of NOWHERE and is whining about getting dumped >.< I'm making reassuring noises, but...meh07:36
Unit193Does he have no friends?07:37
Cheri703he "can't talk to them about this"07:38
Unit193He can't talk to his friends but he can random people he used to know....07:39
* Cheri703 is the shoulder many people cry on07:39
Cheri703cool image: http://s.buzzfeed.com/static/imagebuzz/terminal01/2009/3/12/15/prosthetic-legs-through-the-years-22759-1236886784-7.jpg07:49
Unit193Does the "Save and Quit" ever kill you?07:50
Cheri703hmm...not lately07:50
Unit193I use that one too much......way too much....07:51
Cheri703I just turn on the session manager07:52
Habitualwoof15:02
Cheri703hi?15:02
* Habitual waves15:02
Cheri703how are you?15:03
HabitualVery well, thank you. How are you?15:04
Cheri703alright, dealing with moody husband this morning, but other than that :)15:04
Habitualwell, being married, I can only offer compassion.15:04
Habitualwoof21:23
Cheri703hello again...21:24
* Habitual waves. 21:24
HabitualHusband settle down? :P21:24
Cheri703I suppose, he's glued to his computer game now21:25
HabitualI am hard pressed to reply.21:27
HabitualI never understood gamers if that is the case.  I mean NO offense.21:28
Cheri703yeah, I don't get it myself21:33
Cheri703*shrug* point of contention. anyway21:33
Cheri703so where are you located?21:33
Cheri703I'm in mansfield21:33
HabitualYoungstown21:33
Cheri703that's cool21:33
Unit193Is there any reason why it would be better to install Linux 64-bit over 32?21:39
Cheri703depends on what your computer can handle21:40
Cheri703I don't know beyond that21:40
canthus13Unit193: you're running a server, don't need flash, need to use ungodly amounts of memory....21:40
HabitualI'm sure there's plenty of arguments but none I can defend soundly. 32 bit runs fine on 64 :)21:40
canthus13Flash seems to have a lot of issues in 64 bit.21:41
* canthus13 runs 64 on one of his servers because there is a little bit of a performance gain... Not much, though.21:41
Unit193I was thinking about doing it... this would be a normal home comp (just installed UbuntuLM on a comp)21:42
Unit193UbuntuLM 64bit21:43
Habitual32 :)21:43
Unit193Habitual: that's what I'm thinking... this is the only thing that made 64 sound good http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1665&page=821:45
Habitualah Crypto! Ive been all over that subject today.21:45
Habitualfor excessive computations you'd want 64, but for GP stuff, 32 is fine.21:46
Unit193I do some video converting (but I don't think 64 will help)21:46
Habitualprolly knot. :)21:47
Unit19332 it is.... (now I have to reinstall on the other comp :P )21:47
Habitualyou compiling programs for polypeptide optimizations, 64 bit. else GP, 32.21:47
HabitualEveryday stuff, 32 bit.21:48
Habitualour desktop computers are faster than those that sent Apollo to the moon. :)21:49
deejoeour phones are faster22:19
deejoeand I'm not even talking the smart ones22:19
canthus13meh. my old TI calculator is faster.22:29
canthus13Ooo. Geek gore:  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/26/ventblockers_2/22:47
Unit193After cleaning it out a bit:http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2631/dscf1271r.jpg23:00
Unit193There was a ton on the fan, the computer wouldn't stay on for more then 3 min23:01
