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