Unit193:)00:21
dmcglone1I typed one up earlier for tomorrow, I already posted one today00:22
dmcglone1are you enjoying them?00:22
Unit193I don't do all that much with PHP.... Going to show my friend that uses it more...00:23
dmcglone1I've been thinking about another one, but don't know what I should cover yet00:23
dmcglone1I see00:23
dmcglone1is your friend learning PHP?00:24
Unit193He has used it in the past for his site... not sure if he still works on it00:24
Unit193I did make a simple script that writes a file with ip/user agent that VNCed into a computer and unlocked it... alone with other random ones00:27
Unit193ip/agent was for tracking, not for the login process00:27
Cheri703I think my desktop has kicked the bucket :(00:27
dmcglone1Unit193 cool00:30
dmcglone1Cheri703: oh no00:30
Cheri703I'm trying to reinstall, but it's having fits00:30
Cheri703:(00:30
Unit193What's crapping out?00:31
Cheri703well, it started being weird last night, and today I was trying to fix it and it uninstalled stuff it shouldn't have :( so now I'm reinstalling. hopefully00:32
canthus13Cheri703: Use a hammer.01:25
Cheri703might...01:25
Cheri703I'd think about replacing it, but have a sick dog, just spent almost $200 today on him, am going to be spending more soon, and that'll still be just figuring out what is going on :(01:26
canthus13Dell uses really crappy thermal compound. :(03:03
BiosElementThis is awesome03:24

Unit193Cheri703: Did you endup geting SSH/PuTTY all setup?04:45
Cheri703no, got distracted by stupid ipod, sick dog, and desktop crapping out (am working on the reinstall now) :/04:45
Unit193more issues with that ipod? U10.04?04:46
Cheri703yeah, and yeah04:46
Cheri703I put rockbox on it after it was working fine with the downgraded ipod firmware, and then husband tried it and it crapped out. then he got alllll pissy again, so I RE put the ipod firmware on it, and am going to touch up the music collection before doing anything with it again, because husband blames it on corrupted music files -_-04:47
Cheri703but anyway, I'd still like to04:50
Cheri703right now I'm using a mix of vnc and ssh04:50
Unit193Rockbox didn't work on ipod? that stinks....04:55
Cheri703well, firmware on that one is touchy apparently, so I think that's it04:55
Cheri703desktop is mostly set back up...so that's good05:51
Unit193Is this the main?05:52
Cheri703yeah05:52
Cheri703:(05:52
Cheri703but it's ok05:52
Cheri703my patented method of partitioning makes it really easy to set back up05:53
Cheri703(once the thing lets me install)05:53
Unit193 /home on one and the rest on another?05:54
Cheri703no / on one and storage on an ntfs drive (and symlinks from /home to storage)05:54
Unit193I would do the / on one and /home on another, but I have no idea how much space both woyld need...05:58
Cheri703I tried the /home on one, and I didn't like it06:02
Cheri703THIS IS NOT MY NIGHT *ANGRY FACE*06:19
Unit193Dare I ask?06:19
Cheri703dualboot machine has decided that there is no route to host -_- and I don't know why. was working earlier today before I shut it down, rebooted (headless) and now no route to host...was using it headlessly earlier without issue06:20
Cheri703ohhhh, wait, I might know what it is, hang on06:21
Cheri703ok, nvm :(06:23
Cheri703wow I'm annoyed06:23
Unit193What was it?06:24
Cheri703no, it didn't fix it06:24
Cheri703going to move it back to where the monitor is06:24
Cheri703back in a bit06:24
Cheri703o.O06:32
Cheri703for some reason grub had decided that it didn't want to auto-time-out and choose an os...it was just sitting at grub :(06:32
Cheri703fixed nwo06:32
Cheri703*now06:32
Unit193I'm glad the head is hard, but now my hand hurts....06:38
Cheri703?06:38
Unit193This is not working!!! *facepalm* *facepalm* *facepalm*06:39
Cheri703ah, gotcha06:39
Unit193Funny, my hand hurts more then my head :)06:40
dmcglonehey all, how do I chomod a directory and all the directories and files inside it?17:29
dmcglonechmod that is17:29
Cheri703uh, possibly -r ?17:31
Cheri703hang on, let me look17:31
Cheri703-R or --recursive17:31
Cheri703If I know what command I need, but not the details, I google "*command* manpage ubuntu" and it'll bring up what you need17:32
dmcgloneAh17:32
dmcgloneI knew what command to use, just not the syntax17:33
dmcglonedavid@buddy:~/www/more old stuff$ chmod 777 -R *17:33
Cheri703yup17:33
Cheri703that's why I heart manpages :)17:33
Cheri703when I have no idea what command I need, they're not useful :)17:33
dmcgloneI was using chmod 777 *17:34
dmcglonethinking the * would take care of all the files and folders17:34
dmcgloneI also mistakingly used -r instead of -R17:34
dmcgloneso that mistake got me confused17:34
dmcglonethen I'm like, HUH?17:35
dmcglonelol17:35
Cheri703yeah, I always check, some are -r some are -R :/17:35
Cheri703wish it was consistent17:35
dmcglone-r makes everything un-readable17:35
Cheri703ew17:36
dmcgloneOk, I gotta take a break. I'm a little burnt out17:43
canthus13Seems kinda silly to make everything world read/write/execute.  major security issue there.18:04
canthus13755 would be much safer.18:04
dmcglonehey guys, i'm trying to recover some data on a cd that will not auto mount, so I have to mount it by using the command: david@buddy:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /home/david/cd19:43
dmcglonemount: block device /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only but when I do this, the files are empty and I get an error : error splicing file input/output error19:43
dmcgloneis there any way I can salvage these files?19:43
Cheri703hmm...19:45
Cheri703you could try it in a windows machine?19:45
Cheri703just to see if it is the cd or your drive19:46
dmcgloneI tried, it wouldn't auto  mount there either19:46
Cheri703hmmm19:46
Cheri703ok19:46
dmcgloneI got thousands of lines of code I have written on these CD's I don't want to loose them :=(19:47
Cheri703definitely19:47
Cheri703hmm...hang on, let me see what I can find out19:48
dmcgloneoh lord, I think I've got it19:48
Cheri703yeah?19:48
dmcglonelet me try first19:48
dmcglonewhooooo hooooo19:49
dmcglonelord have mercy, wrong CD19:50
dmcgloneI am getting everything off that CD. it's going on my flash drive from now on19:50
Cheri703HA19:50
dmcgloneOh jesus thank you. I thought I was gonna have a nervous breakdown19:51
dmcgloneI'm copying this stuff so fast I'm making a huge mess of my directories19:53
canthus13Wow. Ovaltine makes you gay.  http://www.dumpaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ads6.jpg19:54
Cheri703-_-19:54
Unit193dmcglone: if you need it on another one: gddrescue, mondo and safecopy might help19:55
dmcglonenow I've got to organize all this crap19:55
dmcglonelooking that up now Unit193, thank you. no way I could have afforded to lose this stuff19:56
Unit193scratch mondo - it's backup stuff19:57
dmcgloneok, it still may come in handy :-)19:57
dmcgloneI have about 40 websites I created on that CD.19:58
dmcgloneI am just lucky I had 2 copies19:58
Unit193testdisk is one I have used before, it seems really nice! (deleted photos off a camera)19:59
dmcgloneWhat I think happened to the first one was the CD was laying on my desk and I laid my hearing aid on it and my hearing aid has a magnet on it19:59
dmcgloneI wonder if that magnet corrupted the CD20:00
canthus13nah. CDs are optical, not magnetic.20:01
dmcgloneI always thought a really strong magnet could do that. Hmmm maybe I'm thinking of something else20:02
canthus13Maybe something like an MRI....20:02
dmcglonetrue20:03
Cheri703not useful for what you were doing, but my paper shredder can chew up cds, it's pretty impressive and fun :D20:03
dmcgloneLOL20:03
dmcgloneI like to play frisbee with my cd's20:04
Cheri703nice sparkly plasticky bits :)20:04
canthus13Cheri703: Ours at work has a warning not to shred babies.  Or gingerbread men... I'm not sure which.20:04
Cheri703nice20:04
dmcgloneMy nerves are starting to calm down now :-)20:13
dmcgloneOk I'm done organizing everything. 81,160 files 1.3GB21:10
Unit193It can't be all code...21:11
dmcglonejust about21:11
dmcgloneexcept pictures and pear libs21:11
Unit193That's one heck of a lot of code...21:12
dmcgloneit dates back at least 7 years though21:12
dmcglonesome files probably only have 5 lines of code if not that21:13
dmcglonea lot of stuff I need to just throw away21:14
dmcgloneI found scripts I forgot I had written21:17
Unit193http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJixW2u4IvQ22:00
Unit193^ wow... Llamas with Hats 4 ....22:00
dmcgloneCheri703: you buisy?22:50
Cheri703nope, was, but not now :)22:50
Cheri703what can I do for you?22:50
dmcglonelol22:50
dmcgloneI need some help finding 3 dramatic lines that describes lawncare22:51
dmcglonesomething like "beautiful results"22:51
Cheri703hmm...will ponder22:51
dmcglone"crafting drama"22:51
dmcglonesomething along those lines22:51
dmcgloneI can think of "crafting drama" "producing solutions"22:53
dmcglonebut it doesn't really go with a lawncare company22:54
Cheri703ok, I will contemplate and let you know what I come up with22:55
dmcglonecool thanks. I'm trying to figure a way to "soften" the edges on Matt's website because he mentioned he likes things like that22:56
dmcgloneI was thinking about having the page fade in and then have 3 small banners roll up slowly one at a time  with words like "High Expectation" "Greener Lawn" "Beautiful Results"22:58
Cheri703kk22:58
dmcgloneand with each quote, the background image would change to show images of his work that would pertain to the quote22:59
dmcgloneThen at the end of the 3 quotes, I'll fade into his logo and the company name23:00
canthus13dmcglone: Sounds kinda like burma shave signs...23:42
