chibihogoshinoheh00:30
cyberangermanagement isn't simplified enough00:30
cyberangerand mesh is still up in the air00:31
cyberangeratm00:31
chibihogoshinoyou have to wait on that tho right ?00:32
cyberangeryeah00:32
cyberangeror support both, and insure stability in doing so00:32
cyberangerwhich I am not thinking as realistic atm00:32
chibihogoshinoit would double what you have to do00:33
cyberangermaybe not double00:34
cyberangercould be less, could be more00:34
cyberangerand I fear more00:35
cyberangerdue to the collision risks00:35
wrstcyberanger: you still around?00:35
wrstoh i need to look at the time :)00:35
cyberangerno, I left 31 seconds ago ;-)00:35
cyberangerwhat's up wrst00:36
wrstha ha cyberanger have an issue here i have a laptop running xp painfully slow but virus scans show ok i'm wondering if i have hardware issues possibly memory, live cd and memtest?00:36
cyberangersounds like a plan00:37
cyberangermaybe toss in removing xp00:37
wrstok thought that kinda made sense :)00:37
chibihogoshinoxp  ?00:37
wrstwell cyberanger if it were not for quickbooks required i would in a heartbeat, but don't think vbox would be a viable option for them00:37
wrstchibihogoshino: i know not very popular a very inferior OS ;)00:38
cyberangerwell, if hardware is causing the instability, depending on the why, virtualbox might help00:38
chibihogoshinois xp in it now ?00:38
wrstwell off i go to reboot ....00:39
cyberangerhaving to reboot suggests yes01:02
chibihogoshinoi liked that show01:10
cyberangerwhat show?01:22
elwhey cyberranger, there was a chat a couple days ago about streaming pandora without a browser... could you backchannel me about that?01:45
elwblargh01:45
wrsthmm cyberanger just 512MB of ram doesn't help me didn't realize that01:47
cyberangerelw: all it was, was exodus_ms asked a question, disconnected right after01:48
cyberangerbefore a chance of an answer01:48
cyberangerwrst: that's low, worse for quicken01:49
cyberangerelw: the answer pretty much is no01:49
cyberangerthey have a desktop application, uses adobe air01:49
wrstyeah cyberanger i agree that's going to be a lot/most/all of the deal01:49
cyberangerand home theater players, mobile apps, so on01:49
cyberangerthat's about it01:50
chibihogoshinooh .. cyberanger reboot the show01:51

wrstyeah i get up a little after 5 every day and that gives me fits :)12:44
wrsti would want to go to bed about 8:30 i guess if i got up at 412:44
wrsthey chris458514:59
wrstthey have made some nice little changes14:59
Svpernova09netritious: the 3 part business plan. Dan and I started on part 1. open source project :_X15:02
chris4585wrst, last night I couldn't see them for some reason, virtualbox only likes to boot correctly every few hours it seems lol15:02
wrstyeah same on a hard install also chris4585, still some xorg stuff that's a little whacked i think15:03
netritiousSvpernova09: nice :)15:03
netritiouswhat's your project? I'm thinking the hacker space, but... lol15:04
Svpernova09you're not far off...15:04
Svpernova09http://code.google.com/p/hackerspace-management-system/15:04
netritiousnice15:05
Svpernova09The goal is to be a drop in system for new hackerspaces to get off the ground to track members, financials, export stuff to their website/email lists, etc15:05
Svpernova09One of the guys from makers local in hunstville is working on it with us.15:05
netritiousthat's cool15:06
netritiousSvpernova09: lamp stack?15:07
Svpernova09lamp + cakephp framework15:07
Svpernova09we're just going to provide the site though.15:07
Svpernova09I'm thinking once we get a release I can build a deb package for it15:07
Svpernova09That'll be something else to learn.15:08
netritiouslearning keeps linux fun (most of the time)15:12
cyberangerthe rest of the time is made up by ham radio's fun15:13
cyberangeror the gun range15:13
netritiousheh whatever tickles your fancy cyberanger :)15:14
netritioushow's it going cyberanger15:14
cyberangeroh, fairly well, part of me wants to get some work out of the way15:14
cyberangerthe other part wants to rock climb15:14
netritiousI hear ya15:15
cyberangerthe day isn't ideal for a climb, not too bad though15:18
cyberangeras for work, it's work15:18
cyberangernot against it, but not rooting for it either15:19
cyberangernetritious: how about you15:23
* cyberanger heads for some advil, relieve myself from this bloddy headache15:23
netritiousdoing well15:23
netritiousbeen using screen a bit lately15:23
netritiousborrowed an upstart script for node.js off the web that didn't work, fixed it, and now node.js instances run as an upstart job and as www-data instead of root15:25
netritiousso can start up with the system15:25
netritiousand shut down gracefully with reboots/shutdowns15:25
cyberangercool15:25
cyberangerand I thought you were already using screen15:26
netritiousI have been, but got into it more with lucid15:26
netritioussplitting screen vertical and horizontal rocks15:26
cyberangerah15:26
cyberangerI forgot that wasn't as flawless in the older versions15:27
netritiousyeah15:27
netritiousI'm still stuck in hardy land for a bit15:27
netritiousbut not much longer15:27
cyberangerhardy shouldn't be too bad15:27
netritiousit's not15:27
cyberangerI think it had that support in it too15:27
netritiousjust lacks some new features I want to use15:27
netritiousrather packages are more current15:28
netritiousso I get to use new features of the lucid packages that aren't available in hardy without building it from source yourself or using some unknown repo15:28
cyberangerand grub2's rewrite, massive changes between bind9 versions15:29
cyberangerand I think apache as well15:29
netritiousgrub2 bothers me less15:29
netritiousI've become accustomed to it now, although I still think that grub (1) is better15:29
cyberangerwell, toss in the added features and support, hard to say15:30
cyberangerbut I'm just pointing out, securtiy patches and feature patches15:34
cyberangerif you can switch, it'd probally help15:34
netritiousagreed15:35
cyberangermore updates to the mirror, seems my cron entry is off15:36
cyberangeroh15:36
* cyberanger feels dumb15:37
cyberangerincluding "read" does explain it15:37
cyberangerI used my interactive script, not my automated one15:37
cyberangerit's actually staying at a reasonable size, roughly 120GB15:38
cyberangermy hope is with this, build a machine for some installfests15:43
netritiousthat's a good idea cyberanger15:45
netritiousah, here it is...took me a sec to find it...15:45
netritioussudo sed -i 's/GRUB_HIDDEN/\#GRUB_HIDDEN/g' /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub15:45
netritiousone of the first things I do with lucid15:45
cyberangerwhy?15:48
netritiousotherwise I end up having to repair from a live cd/usb drive instead of being able to boot in single user mode right on the machine itself when I fubar things or forget my passwd15:48
netritiousI read somewhere that holding shift works but it doesn't for me15:48
cyberangerI've not had todo that, hrm15:49
netritious*holding shift works to show the grub menu despite the hidden attributes15:49
netritious^^is what I recall reading, but not sure about the source atm, either way it doesn't work15:50
cyberangerah, that's probally esc then15:50
netritiousso hold esc and I get grub menu, even if hidden is true?15:51
cyberangerbelieve so15:51
netritiouswill give that a go15:52
cyberangernot 100% sure, with the hidden bit15:52
cyberangerbut that sounds like it15:52
* cyberanger hasn't had an issue with grub2 that can't be explained by my actions15:53
cyberangerkinda like a "why won't the car start?" "oh, stupid, I left out the spark plugs"15:54
netritiousit's been worse for me15:54
netritiousnot with grub though, just grub215:54
netritiousit may not be grub2, but ubuntu, or plymouth, or whatever ...I'm not 100% certain, but hardy installs on anything just fine no hassles, in about any configuration I can think of, with little to no fuss, old and new computers15:56
netritiouslucid and grub2 refused to cooperate with me on a dual PIII socket 370 supermicro EATX server motherboard15:57
wrstnetritious: you are adding to me theory, grub2 sucks15:58
netritiousand nothing I tried (I was pretty exhaustive) worked to get it booting...spent a couple of days trying too15:59
* wrst prepares for cyberanger to admonish me15:59
cyberangernetritious: and that's where I stand on it, each distro doing their old tweaks, and so much changs at once15:59
cyberangerhal, plymouth, pulseaudio15:59
wrstcyberanger: i may install grub2 in arch to see what happens and check that out :)16:00
cyberangertoo dynamic to be sure of what and why16:00
cyberangerbut it's clearly there16:00
netritiousgrub2 <em>works</em> just a whole lot different than grub16:01
cyberangerwrst: why not, it's worth a try16:01
cyberangernetritious: and they timed alot of changes in the same timeframe too16:01
wrstcyberanger:  i may but i do like my computer to boot :)16:01
wrstbut when grub2 is working like it should it really will be good16:02
cyberangerwrst: you left out *into linux ;-)16:02
wrst:)16:03
netritiousbrb16:03
wrstwell cyberanger we won't see him for a few weeks16:04
cyberangerouch16:04
wrsthis brb's are always a week or two apart :)16:04
cyberangeryes, but seeing it in print...16:05
* cyberanger can't wait for hulu on android16:06
wrstreally? wow that will be nice cyberanger16:07
cyberangerI think hulu plus will justify it's price then16:07
cyberangerhowever I wish they worked with boxee16:07
cyberangerless than 10 bucks16:08
cyberangera month16:08
cyberangercbs.com is free16:08
cyberangerbut not mobile16:08
wrstwho needs a tv? :)16:11
cyberangerless than 25 for NHL center ice16:11
cyberangerexactly16:11
cyberangerthe idea of cable tv packages is going away16:11
wrstyes16:13
cyberangerI can't wait for the day when you buy a tv channel and use it on an iptv system16:14
cyberangerboxee, roku, so on16:14
cyberangerthe issue is convincing the companies that will lose profit that they'd lose less supporting this model16:17
cyberangerby bringing higher speed internet, and lower cost service16:17
cyberangermore speed tiers16:17
cyberangerless bandwidth caps (read, no caps, or extremely large caps)16:17
cyberangertrue network neutrality, where bittorrent isn't throttled16:18
cyberangerwhich can help the dristubition method, grab new shows that way overnight, for the next day16:19
cyberangerPioneer One being a show on no channel, the viewers pay, without watching an add16:19
cyberangerdistrubited via bittorrent16:27
cyberangerwrst: this week really flew by ;-)16:45
cyberangerright netritious ? ;-)16:45
netritiousuhm it's still this week? :)16:46
oriascyberanger: I agree16:47
wrstha ha16:47
wrstyeah16:47
wrstnetritious: i predicted it would be two weeks before you rejoined us after your brb :)16:47
netritious:P16:48
netritiousI had to plugin to the battery backup16:48
netritiousit's thundering outside16:48
netritioushaven't lost power yet, but never know in this town with that weather16:48
cyberangernetritious: not pleasent here, not that bad yet though16:49
wrstnetritious: really windy here but looks like we got that to look forward to16:50
netritiouswife called and said there was a bad one coming this morning16:51
netritiousrain and snow are fine, but ice and thunder can (has) shut everything down anywhere from a few seconds to a few days16:53
netritiousin '94 there was an ice storm around these parts and metro memphis took a week to get power back on, two weeks in some places16:54
netritiousDesoto County (Northern MS) power companies were a little quicker, but only by a day or so16:54
cyberangeryeah, and I've not re-equiped for that scale an issue yet16:55
cyberangerbut luckily, I'm near a high priority area16:55
cyberangerI'm just not on the exact same grid, but they'll need to get my grid up too, as we're the backup grid16:57
netritiousI bought a generator but haven't had to use it yet16:57
netritiousI keep it primed though16:57
cyberangerI'd like to get a battery backup, and a generator and solar power options16:58
cyberangerthing is, how are you going to stay online if the lines fail netritious ?16:59
netritiouswhy I use two locations16:59
netritiousand computers I can load in my car and transport 3 miles, that is if I'm lucky :)17:00
netritiousaround here I'm mostly worried about tornados17:00
cyberangerare both witin the same area17:00
netritiouswhich travel east to west, and the shop is about 1.5 miles northeast17:01
netritiousyes17:01
netritiousnothing I can do about that yet17:01
cyberangerwell, to a point, you can17:01
cyberangerbut yeah, cost17:01
netritioushence the yet :)17:02
cyberangerI'd like to build two mobile rigs17:03
cyberangerhouse the servers in a pickup bed with a cap17:03
cyberangershutdown before an issue (routing to the secondary rig)17:04
cyberangerand drive17:04
wrstnetritious: i think if a tornado hits the memphis area that's a reasonable excuse for down time17:04
netritiouscyberanger: it's already enough work as it is lol17:04
netritiouswrst: yesh I mean what are you going to do17:04
cyberangerwrst: it is, and yet, if your the guy that has zero downtime, more for you17:04
cyberangernetritious: that part is easy17:05
wrstyeah tornados not so easy to stop :)17:05
netritiousif you want complete redundancy use Amazon AWS, but along with that comes a great deal of complexity17:05
netritiousmaybe as much as say having your own redundant network17:05
cyberangernothing to say it couldn't be done17:07
netritiouson that topic, I think it's neat that you can migrate images from Ubuntu UEC to Amazon...I haven't actually tried it yet, but if things go according to plan then I might actually have the equipment to try it17:08
netritious*images=vm's17:09
wrstcool netritious17:09
netritiousthere are quite a few "cloud" projects around now based on AWS...17:11
netritioushave you guys seen http://cloud.com ?17:11
cyberangernetritious: nope17:12
wrstthat's neat looking17:14
netritiouswritten in java17:21
netritiousI'm not a huge fan myself, but I know quite a few people that love it17:22
cyberangersame here netritious17:41
cyberangerit has it's benifits, but you know, shooting your foot to avoid war has benifits too, it still hurts like hell17:41
netritiouslol18:06
cyberangerwatching last nights episode of chuck "Mom, when we get back, we need to have a serious talk about the benifits of tranq guns"18:16
cyberangerthat's gotta be one of the best lines ever18:16
