[05:14] canthus13: this is incredibly random, but for some reason it popped into my head.... [05:14] remember how you mentioned the server that vanished? and I mentioned pc speakers [05:15] wouldn't it be possible to write something that IF the network connection went down, it would beep? so if one had a nic that died, it'd beep to let you know...or something... [05:15] Cheri703: Shouldn't be too difficult. [05:16] like I said, random, but was just a thought [05:17] how much would you charge someone to recover data from floppy disks? [05:18] I'm leaning toward $10 flat fee, and like $1-2 / disk, or somewhere around there [05:20] Cheri703: A lot. I'd have to buy a floppy drive. [05:20] well, if you had one... [05:21] I dunno. I hate floppies. I'd prolly charge more. [05:21] heh, well, these people have a whole pile of them, and I don't know that it's worth like $100 for the project to them, so some money is better than no money! [05:21] Perhaps $20+per disk costs [05:21] dunno, I'll think about it [05:26] I'm going to be very out of it, very soon, just ate some cinnamon rolls slathered in icing....sugar coma is on its way [05:29] Unit193: around? [05:29] Cheri703: Yeah [05:29] * Unit193 BSG [05:30] this is fairly random, and I have no idea if it interests you at all, but it's free and it's neat: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Skywarn [05:30] there's a training session thursday afternoon to be a "spotter" [05:30] you don't have to be a ham radio operator to do it [05:30] * Cheri703 is going, so is husband [05:34] Know what time? [05:35] 1pm, at a county building near longview and home rd [05:35] * Cheri703 will be taking the bus [05:35] also one at 6:30 in lexington, but that's during ubuntu hour! [05:41] you could get there via 2 buses [05:41] * Cheri703 isn't trying to pressure you, just let you know :)
