[00:03] Good evening all [00:04] evening jfenn2199 [00:04] how's the weather [00:04] White Death 2011 begins! [00:05] Unfortunately the odds of a snow thunder storm have significantly dropped [00:08] same here I think [00:08] idk, it's hard to tell [00:08] netritious: how big is his hdd gonna be? [00:08] and can you throw in a thumbdrive [00:11] cyberanger: not big enough (40G) [00:12] I mean, I could squeeze it in there if I had to, but would rather give him that space to do other things [00:12] agreed, but for what I was thinking, it works [00:12] * cyberanger pokes excid3|mbp into telling netritious about keryx [00:12] herro [00:12] I know about keryx ;) [00:12] and I have a script on the same lines [00:13] :) [00:13] and yet your gonna burn the hell outta some dvd's, well ok [00:13] :-D [00:13] brb in a sec.. jfenn2199 going to look at this White Death hehe [00:14] excid3|mbp: btw, that script has really worked, still adapting it to fakepository usage [00:14] cyberanger: yeah, I mean the dude lives in a rural part of MS that I don't get down to very often [00:14] cyberanger: awesome! [00:14] dvd's are cheap too [00:17] netritious: so a usb drive to the local library is pointless [00:17] or a boost mobile phone and 15 a month on it [00:17] it works [00:17] he uses landline for phone [00:18] the only service provider out his way is dish [00:18] well, directv [00:18] the phone was for internet, but in that case, a linux modem, and 5 bucks a month [00:20] he's on a fixed income in the woods man, he's not interested in internet [00:21] can't blame him [00:21] the word addict comes to mind (for me) [00:22] addicted to the internet? you? noooo, don't believe it :D [00:23] ok, so I'mm not an addict (denial is the first step ;-)) they have meetings [00:24] this guy is a family friend that just needs a computer and some way to maintain it himself since I don't come around but every few years [00:25] and thus why I did suggest keryx or similar though [00:25] another friend, also in the "no internet boat" he lives about 400m/1300ft from my house, so thinking that I might be able to set up a directional antenna to provide some wifi access [00:25] head to the public library, keep it up to date [00:25] if you got los, that's no sweat [00:26] I've done 3 and 5 mile links [00:26] los? [00:26] like to try 30 miles next [00:26] line of sight [00:26] yeah, from the chimney's anyway [00:26] nothing in the way to degrade the signal [00:26] tree, so on [00:26] might be a tree or two [00:26] maybe...not 100% on that yet [00:29] I wonder if I would do better with an omni directional antenna instead [00:32] well, if you can get him and you on a directional, say with a ubiquity bullet, and then each have a local network with omni's that be best [00:32] easy to firewall off [00:47] netritious: you could get two old dishnetwork dishes and stick a antenna on the front of them [00:48] I'm thinking I might use directv dishes since we both have them and neither of us use them for anyhting and don't intend to [00:48] *anything [00:48] we both used to have dtv but don't anymore and haven't in a long time [00:49] change out the LNB for something wifi capable [00:49] I've seen a video or two on converting a dtv dish [00:49] that would be cool [00:56] iv seen people just stick a usb wifi adapter on the dish [01:03] chibihogoshino: yep [01:03] pringle can on a dish :) [01:04] heh yeah [01:06] it works [01:06] I've done it [01:13] how far has that gone cyberanger ? [01:14] at least 5mi [01:14] haven't seen further yet [01:14] with a usb ? [01:15] the design should be fine tuned to 30 miles at least [01:15] no, N Connector [01:15] oh [01:53] cyberanger: did you use two routers or wifi cards for that ? [01:57] technically routers [01:57] at that point [01:57] but it didn't matter [01:59] what was the power out put ? [02:02] well, idk the gain on the antenna, so I can't fully factor that, but I cut down the power the router had, from 42mW to I think 15mW [02:02] but that's not peak emitting power [02:02] which legally must be under 1W [02:03] (or I can be a ham operator and cook chickens at 1500W PEP) but at that distance, directional antennas, that still might have been more than necessary [02:25] you could light a few neon lights along the way [12:49] well cyberanger we do have snow after all shockingly enough [12:50] and cyberanger you might want to idnetify yourself [14:11] How bad is the snow where you all are [14:11] oh yeah [14:11] hi [14:11] wrst [14:12] hey Xpistos not bad 2-4" here [14:44] same as here [14:55] sounds like down south got a lot of snow [16:03] yeah about 3-4" [16:08] cool netritious so you surviving the blizzard of 2011 :) [16:08] yeah...turned the heat up lol [16:09] ha ha i'm about to go find some early lunch in celebration i think [16:18] I can't believe there are people with huge trucks [16:18] that couldn't get to work [16:19] that live closer than me [16:19] and I drive a toyota corolla [16:19] Yeah, I didn't feel bad when the president of the company was in my bosses office and I said "Well, i made it fine" [16:24] i made it in bright and early too Xpistos [16:48] greetings pace_t_zulu [16:49] morningwr [16:49] morning wrst [16:50] pace_t_zulu: how's it going? [16:50] wrst: you can seen i am accustomed to autocompleting your handle after the 'wr' [16:50] wrst: well, you? [16:50] wrst: you make it into work today? [16:50] ha ha i do it after the pa pace_t_zulu :) [16:50] yep not that much up here pace_t_zulu compared to what we have already had probably 3-4" [16:51] wrst: its nice powder in nashville right now... tomorrow could be bad if it becomes ice [16:52] yeah i suspect especially so if many try to get out in it === Svpernova09 is now known as websiteGOD === websiteGOD is now known as Svpernova09 [19:44] cyberanger: welcome back again :) [19:46] heh, barely [19:47] celluar and battery power only [19:53] well good to see you what of you is here :) [19:56] last night I rushed shutting down, killed the client, nearly shut down my server by mistake, in haste [19:57] and in the morning, power loss [20:00] power loss stinks :\ [20:23] yep [20:24] not unexpected though [20:25] still... as i know they really can mess you up :) [20:29] back up [20:30] wrst: naw, not really [20:30] I mean it can, but precautions already factored both in [20:31] unfortunately not implemented as what happened, and ideally maintained or setup [20:32] but unless celluar went down (too localized I expect, car hit the right pole is what I figure) I was good [20:32] cyberanger: i am looking to change my setup some so when the power goes off my server will start back up the usb hard drives and it do not get along at all [20:32] but the car not so good [20:34] conserving power by sticking to the G2 smartphone was smart, I'm not where I'd like to be on battery capacity, doable but the downtime was more than I factored for [20:35] and I wasn't set for what I did factor [20:35] yeah, you might want to look at your bios boot order [20:35] and maybe you can shut off usb boot entirely [20:35] that's not ideal [20:40] wrst: have you looked at the bios to see if boot settings plays a role [20:43] yeah cyberanger no luck there just going esata on it [20:56] idk if that'd change it, if it's still booting to external hdd [21:00] guess it's worth a shot [21:43] ubuntu-tennessee.org's IP has changed. may take a few hours to resolve. [21:43] but it's there, and now should have less trouble using SSL [21:46] I got tired of trying to figure out how to force WP to redirect to an alternate port (:500) trying to be stingy with my statics, but after six months of trying on and off again I give up :P [21:55] you sure it was 6 months [21:55] we've had the domain for over 11 months now [21:55] gotta renew it next month [21:56] glad it's working reguardless [21:57] for some reason I was under the impression that you purchased the domain for two years? [21:58] I know the SSL cert is for two years [21:58] and yes, I'm pretty sure it's around or at six months [21:58] since initially the site was hosted on a dedicated VM and was moved to the shared hosting server [22:00] nope, I think I did say that it'd be covered that long at least [22:00] well, initially it was hosted on a free service somewhere and then moved to a dedicated vm Nov 2009 [22:00] due to ssl [22:01] or something like that [22:02] yeah the SSL cert expires in Mar 2012 [22:02] Mar 1 20:53:39 2012 GMT to be exact [22:03] so it would have been an issue anyhow [22:04] if I said two years === Worldspice_Will is now known as ZenAdm1n [22:05] if I had it set for two years and split, then you'd be scrambling for a month [22:05] good thing we got that framework working out [22:05] however it seems it's been unnecessary [22:06] but everything is unnecessary until proven otherwise, and that was our track record at that time [22:06] not sure I understand what you mean [22:12] anyways I'm out...l8rs
