[05:14] <Cheri703> canthus13: this is incredibly random, but for some reason it popped into my head....
[05:14] <Cheri703> remember how you mentioned the server that vanished? and I mentioned pc speakers
[05:15] <Cheri703> 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] <canthus13> Cheri703: Shouldn't be too difficult.
[05:16] <Cheri703> like I said, random, but was just a thought
[05:17] <Cheri703> how much would you charge someone to recover data from floppy disks?
[05:18] <Cheri703> I'm leaning toward $10 flat fee, and like $1-2 / disk, or somewhere around there
[05:20] <canthus13> Cheri703: A lot. I'd have to buy a floppy drive.
[05:20] <Cheri703> well, if you had one...
[05:21] <canthus13> I dunno. I hate floppies. I'd prolly charge more.
[05:21] <Cheri703> 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] <Cheri703> Perhaps $20+per disk costs
[05:21] <Cheri703> dunno, I'll think about it
[05:26] <Cheri703> 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] <Cheri703> Unit193: around?
[05:29] <Unit193> Cheri703: Yeah
[05:29]  * Unit193 BSG
[05:30] <Cheri703> 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] <Cheri703> there's a training session thursday afternoon to be a "spotter"
[05:30] <Cheri703> you don't have to be a ham radio operator to do it
[05:30]  * Cheri703 is going, so is husband
[05:34] <Unit193> Know what time?
[05:35] <Cheri703> 1pm, at a county building near longview and home rd
[05:35]  * Cheri703 will be taking the bus
[05:35] <Cheri703> also one at 6:30 in lexington, but that's during ubuntu hour!
[05:41] <Cheri703> you could get there via 2 buses
[05:41]  * Cheri703 isn't trying to pressure you, just let you know :)
