[00:17] <dmcglone1> Hi all
[00:18] <Unit193> Hello dmcglone1
[00:19] <Cheri703> hey dmcglone
[00:19] <dmcglone1> Whats up Unit193?
[00:19] <dmcglone1> Hi Cheri703
[00:21] <Unit193> Not that much...
[00:21] <Unit193> you? more posts?
[00:21] <Unit193> :)
[00:22] <dmcglone1> I typed one up earlier for tomorrow, I already posted one today
[00:22] <dmcglone1> are you enjoying them?
[00:23] <Unit193> I don't do all that much with PHP.... Going to show my friend that uses it more...
[00:23] <dmcglone1> I've been thinking about another one, but don't know what I should cover yet
[00:23] <dmcglone1> I see
[00:24] <dmcglone1> is your friend learning PHP?
[00:24] <Unit193> He has used it in the past for his site... not sure if he still works on it
[00:27] <Unit193> I 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 ones
[00:27] <Unit193> ip/agent was for tracking, not for the login process
[00:27] <Cheri703> I think my desktop has kicked the bucket :(
[00:30] <dmcglone1> Unit193 cool
[00:30] <dmcglone1> Cheri703: oh no
[00:30] <Cheri703> I'm trying to reinstall, but it's having fits
[00:30] <Cheri703> :(
[00:31] <Unit193> What's crapping out?
[00:32] <Cheri703> well, 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. hopefully
[01:25] <canthus13> Cheri703: Use a hammer.
[01:25] <Cheri703> might...
[01:26] <Cheri703> I'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 :(
[03:03] <canthus13> Dell uses really crappy thermal compound. :(
[03:24] <BiosElement> This is awesome
[03:24] <BiosElement> http://mimiandeunice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ME_283_KillingScribes-640x199.png
[04:45] <Unit193> Cheri703: Did you endup geting SSH/PuTTY all setup?
[04:45] <Cheri703> no, got distracted by stupid ipod, sick dog, and desktop crapping out (am working on the reinstall now) :/
[04:46] <Unit193> more issues with that ipod? U10.04?
[04:46] <Cheri703> yeah, and yeah
[04:47] <Cheri703> I 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 -_-
[04:50] <Cheri703> but anyway, I'd still like to
[04:50] <Cheri703> right now I'm using a mix of vnc and ssh
[04:55] <Unit193> Rockbox didn't work on ipod? that stinks....
[04:55] <Cheri703> well, firmware on that one is touchy apparently, so I think that's it
[05:51] <Cheri703> desktop is mostly set back up...so that's good
[05:52] <Unit193> Is this the main?
[05:52] <Cheri703> yeah
[05:52] <Cheri703> :(
[05:52] <Cheri703> but it's ok
[05:53] <Cheri703> my patented method of partitioning makes it really easy to set back up
[05:53] <Cheri703> (once the thing lets me install)
[05:54] <Unit193>  /home on one and the rest on another?
[05:54] <Cheri703> no / on one and storage on an ntfs drive (and symlinks from /home to storage)
[05:58] <Unit193> I would do the / on one and /home on another, but I have no idea how much space both woyld need...
[06:02] <Cheri703> I tried the /home on one, and I didn't like it
[06:19] <Cheri703> THIS IS NOT MY NIGHT *ANGRY FACE*
[06:19] <Unit193> Dare I ask?
[06:20] <Cheri703> dualboot 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 issue
[06:21] <Cheri703> ohhhh, wait, I might know what it is, hang on
[06:23] <Cheri703> ok, nvm :(
[06:23] <Cheri703> wow I'm annoyed
[06:24] <Unit193> What was it?
[06:24] <Cheri703> no, it didn't fix it
[06:24] <Cheri703> going to move it back to where the monitor is
[06:24] <Cheri703> back in a bit
[06:32] <Cheri703> o.O
[06:32] <Cheri703> for 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] <Cheri703> fixed nwo
[06:32] <Cheri703> *now
[06:38] <Unit193> I'm glad the head is hard, but now my hand hurts....
[06:38] <Cheri703> ?
[06:39] <Unit193> This is not working!!! *facepalm* *facepalm* *facepalm*
[06:39] <Cheri703> ah, gotcha
[06:40] <Unit193> Funny, my hand hurts more then my head :)
[17:29] <dmcglone> hey all, how do I chomod a directory and all the directories and files inside it?
[17:29] <dmcglone> chmod that is
[17:31] <Cheri703> uh, possibly -r ?
[17:31] <Cheri703> hang on, let me look
[17:31] <Cheri703> -R or --recursive
[17:32] <Cheri703> If I know what command I need, but not the details, I google "*command* manpage ubuntu" and it'll bring up what you need
[17:32] <dmcglone> Ah
[17:33] <dmcglone> I knew what command to use, just not the syntax
[17:33] <dmcglone> david@buddy:~/www/more old stuff$ chmod 777 -R *
[17:33] <Cheri703> yup
[17:33] <Cheri703> that's why I heart manpages :)
[17:33] <Cheri703> when I have no idea what command I need, they're not useful :)
[17:34] <dmcglone> I was using chmod 777 *
[17:34] <dmcglone> thinking the * would take care of all the files and folders
[17:34] <dmcglone> I also mistakingly used -r instead of -R
[17:34] <dmcglone> so that mistake got me confused
[17:35] <dmcglone> then I'm like, HUH?
[17:35] <dmcglone> lol
[17:35] <Cheri703> yeah, I always check, some are -r some are -R :/
[17:35] <Cheri703> wish it was consistent
[17:35] <dmcglone> -r makes everything un-readable
[17:36] <Cheri703> ew
[17:43] <dmcglone> Ok, I gotta take a break. I'm a little burnt out
[18:04] <canthus13> Seems kinda silly to make everything world read/write/execute.  major security issue there.
[18:04] <canthus13> 755 would be much safer.
[19:43] <dmcglone> hey 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/cd
[19:43] <dmcglone> mount: 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 error
[19:43] <dmcglone> is there any way I can salvage these files?
[19:45] <Cheri703> hmm...
[19:45] <Cheri703> you could try it in a windows machine?
[19:46] <Cheri703> just to see if it is the cd or your drive
[19:46] <dmcglone> I tried, it wouldn't auto  mount there either
[19:46] <Cheri703> hmmm
[19:46] <Cheri703> ok
[19:47] <dmcglone> I got thousands of lines of code I have written on these CD's I don't want to loose them :=(
[19:47] <Cheri703> definitely
[19:48] <Cheri703> hmm...hang on, let me see what I can find out
[19:48] <dmcglone> oh lord, I think I've got it
[19:48] <Cheri703> yeah?
[19:48] <dmcglone> let me try first
[19:49] <dmcglone> whooooo hooooo
[19:50] <dmcglone> lord have mercy, wrong CD
[19:50] <dmcglone> I am getting everything off that CD. it's going on my flash drive from now on
[19:50] <Cheri703> HA
[19:51] <dmcglone> Oh jesus thank you. I thought I was gonna have a nervous breakdown
[19:53] <dmcglone> I'm copying this stuff so fast I'm making a huge mess of my directories
[19:54] <canthus13> Wow. Ovaltine makes you gay.  http://www.dumpaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ads6.jpg
[19:54] <Cheri703> -_-
[19:55] <Unit193> dmcglone: if you need it on another one: gddrescue, mondo and safecopy might help
[19:55] <dmcglone> now I've got to organize all this crap
[19:56] <dmcglone> looking that up now Unit193, thank you. no way I could have afforded to lose this stuff
[19:57] <Unit193> scratch mondo - it's backup stuff
[19:57] <dmcglone> ok, it still may come in handy :-)
[19:58] <dmcglone> I have about 40 websites I created on that CD.
[19:58] <dmcglone> I am just lucky I had 2 copies
[19:59] <Unit193> testdisk is one I have used before, it seems really nice! (deleted photos off a camera)
[19:59] <dmcglone> What 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 it
[20:00] <dmcglone> I wonder if that magnet corrupted the CD
[20:01] <canthus13> nah. CDs are optical, not magnetic.
[20:02] <dmcglone> I always thought a really strong magnet could do that. Hmmm maybe I'm thinking of something else
[20:02] <canthus13> Maybe something like an MRI....
[20:03] <dmcglone> true
[20:03] <Cheri703> not useful for what you were doing, but my paper shredder can chew up cds, it's pretty impressive and fun :D
[20:03] <dmcglone> LOL
[20:04] <dmcglone> I like to play frisbee with my cd's
[20:04] <Cheri703> nice sparkly plasticky bits :)
[20:04] <canthus13> Cheri703: Ours at work has a warning not to shred babies.  Or gingerbread men... I'm not sure which.
[20:04] <Cheri703> nice
[20:13] <dmcglone> My nerves are starting to calm down now :-)
[21:10] <dmcglone> Ok I'm done organizing everything. 81,160 files 1.3GB
[21:11] <Unit193> It can't be all code...
[21:11] <dmcglone> just about
[21:11] <dmcglone> except pictures and pear libs
[21:12] <Unit193> That's one heck of a lot of code...
[21:12] <dmcglone> it dates back at least 7 years though
[21:13] <dmcglone> some files probably only have 5 lines of code if not that
[21:14] <dmcglone> a lot of stuff I need to just throw away
[21:17] <dmcglone> I found scripts I forgot I had written
[22:00] <Unit193> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJixW2u4IvQ
[22:00] <Unit193> ^ wow... Llamas with Hats 4 ....
[22:50] <dmcglone> Cheri703: you buisy?
[22:50] <Cheri703> nope, was, but not now :)
[22:50] <Cheri703> what can I do for you?
[22:50] <dmcglone> lol
[22:51] <dmcglone> I need some help finding 3 dramatic lines that describes lawncare
[22:51] <dmcglone> something like "beautiful results"
[22:51] <Cheri703> hmm...will ponder
[22:51] <dmcglone> "crafting drama"
[22:51] <dmcglone> something along those lines
[22:53] <dmcglone> I can think of "crafting drama" "producing solutions"
[22:54] <dmcglone> but it doesn't really go with a lawncare company
[22:55] <Cheri703> ok, I will contemplate and let you know what I come up with
[22:56] <dmcglone> cool thanks. I'm trying to figure a way to "soften" the edges on Matt's website because he mentioned he likes things like that
[22:58] <dmcglone> I 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] <Cheri703> kk
[22:59] <dmcglone> and with each quote, the background image would change to show images of his work that would pertain to the quote
[23:00] <dmcglone> Then at the end of the 3 quotes, I'll fade into his logo and the company name
[23:42] <canthus13> dmcglone: Sounds kinda like burma shave signs...
