Unit193skellat: Welcome back!03:28
Unit193dvz-__, dvz-_, dvz-: Getting into cloning?03:30
skellatHere's a quickie brain teaser: http://identi.ca/attachment/4742862703:36
skellatSpot the mistake in the sadly rather real street sign in Ashtabula City03:37
skellat??03:37
Unit1933th? Good one!03:38
skellatAnd sadly it is real03:39
skellatWhat else has been erupting across the LoCo?03:46
Unit193Cheri703 went to a drive in with friends and rooted her nook... Not sure if there is anything else :P03:47
skellatMy phone is tethered at the moment.  Time Warner decided to start throttling our link, it seems03:55
Unit193I didn't think TWC did that...04:28
canthus13They could be testing it...04:28
Unit193That's never a good thing...04:30
canthus13Nope... but now that AT&T is imposing caps, *EVERYONE* is going to start.04:32
Unit193What are they at?04:33
canthus13Depends on the speed.04:33
canthus13I don't know the exact numbers.. I just know they announced it a few weeks ago.04:33
Unit193150GB for DSL and 250GB for U-Verse with $10 per 50 over and 2 grace months04:35
canthus13It's a decent amount, but it'll piss off a lot of people.04:36
canthus13and with netflix becoming crazy popular, it's not going to be enough for long.04:36
canthus13I'm talking to someone in NY with TW speed issues right now...04:37
Unit193Gaa... I need to upgrade Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/27/08) micro04:41
Unit193I never did lookup olsrd vs not olsrd04:47
BiosElementI feel evil06:16
BiosElementI've decided to not bother with my identi.ca account anymore06:16
BiosElementSpambots attack it like nuts and I'm shocked at how simply it would be for them to stop the major ones >.<06:16
BiosElementSimply not allowing 50 posts in 300 groups in a 5 minute period would help it >.>06:16
Unit193Good to know you're still alive!06:18
BiosElementI just got a solid net connection today06:21
Unit193Congrats! Looks like you haven't done anything with biosinteractive.com :/06:24
BiosElementI'm going too hah, as in this week.06:24
BiosElementStill trying to write up all the concepts I've been working on AND move my mother in at the same time06:25
Unit193Mind helping an idiot with cherokee sometime? (Yes it's easy to use, but I can't get php to work with a subpage...) If not, I can always search it...06:28
BiosElementYep, though I'll probably just point you back to the manual :P Usually the problem is user error, Cherokee's not the most obvious to use although it beats the pants off apache06:29
Unit193I'm sure it is user error... I can get /sub to point to another location than the default, but when I type a php script in, it sends it for download. And I know php scripts work in the normal dir (Major user error...)06:32
BiosElementSounds like your regex for the php is buggered06:34
Unit193I'm sure this isn't the best way to do this...06:36
BiosElementOk, I'll go through my settings and you can see if anythings odd06:39
BiosElementdoc root is /var/www/bioselement/root, note it doesn't have a trailing slash06:39
BiosElementFirst behavior rule is extensions php which handles php. It's important it's first06:39
BiosElementbelow that I also have a File Exists filter for static content, if you have that filter 'before' the php filter it's not going to work06:40
Unit193I have an odd setup...06:41
BiosElementI might suggest deactivating it and making a new one, sometimes it's just a typo in an odd place that you'll spend hours trying to find06:41
Unit193The root differs from the /subpage location (This works without php) but the normal location supports php (php is at the top)06:42
BiosElementIt 'should' work fine for subdirectories06:42
BiosElementUNLESS you have a seperate behavior handler that jumps in before php can do it's thing06:42
Unit193subdir is in /var/www but the default is in (for example) /var/mnt/www06:43
BiosElementThat' might' have something to do with it06:46
Unit193Only work if I reverse the dir settings and make /var/www the default...07:00
Unit193Still up?07:22
BiosElementAhh08:24
BiosElementOff to sleep I go >.<08:24
BiosElementUnit193: Yeah, that's probably the only way it'll work08:24
BiosElementI know it had a weird-ish limitation like that.08:24
Unit193BiosElement: Have a good night!08:24
BiosElementThanks, you too!08:27
Unit193Major netsplit. Computer went down AGAIN! memtest...08:52
Cheri703http://cartoonbox.slate.com/hottopic/?image=4&topicid=52215:04
canthus13Cheri703: How true.. what amazes me is that I got *my* job with the crappy credit I have.. they ran a credit check on me.  Hell, they ran a background check on me and wouldn't hire me until I took care of a ticket that I had a warrant for.15:10
Cheri703yeah15:11
Cheri703it is stupid, why would my credit make me a better or worse worker? I guess they could try to say it means more or less likely to steal? or be focused on non work things, but...really....what impact does it have on someone's ability to get a job15:12
Cheri703*DO a job15:12
scooter2_Hi! I'm going to help a friend with getting her nook to behave with her ubuntu laptop soon. Has anyone had personal experience with this?15:15
canthus13Cheri703: I can see credit being important in a cash handling job... Although, paycheck garnishment costs the company extra money.15:27
canthus13scooter2_: paultag and Cheri703 have nooks...15:28
scooter2_canthus13: Thanks! I'll creep around to ask them around it.15:29
Cheri703scooter2_: new nook?15:29
Cheri703canthus13: I guess I can see from a garnishment standpoint, but...still poor =/= stupid/bad worker/whatever and that's what it turns into :/15:31
scooter2_Cheri703: A friend of mine has a new nook, and would like to use it to read .pdf files and listen to .mp3s. Have you found any quirks making it work well with Ubuntu?15:31
Cheri703scooter2_: I rooted mine yesterday :D it's kinda nice, though I'll still mainly use it for reading15:31
Cheri703it does NOT do audio15:31
Cheri703and you want the newest version of calibre to make it easier to sync things (if you want to keep track of it all, if not, you can just plug it in and use it as mass storage)15:32
Cheri703if they want calibre, basically copy and paste the text that is under "binary install" http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux15:32
scooter2_Cheri703: Hmm, that's probably why she hasn't got that to work. Cool, thanks! I'll tell you how it goes!15:34
Cheri703yep. if she's interested in rooting it, it's not terribly difficult, but there are still a few kinks to work out15:35
Cheri703I LOVE mine15:37
Cheri703I've read 11 books and am working on the 12th since getting it15:37
Cheri703last friday15:37
scooter2_I think she'll want to play it safe. She's off to London for a little, far away from her brother and me if she runs into any bugs.15:38
scooter2_Wow, 11? That's awesome! My dad got a kindle, but mostly uses it for textbooks. I think my friend would like to check out ebooks from the library and read them on her nook.15:39
scooter2_What kind of book have you enjoyed most reading on your nook?15:39
Cheri703I've been reading a particular series mainly15:46
Cheri703there are several free ebook sites, they repackage public domain books15:46
Cheri703hang on, I'll get some links15:46
Cheri703www.feedbooks.com and www.gutenberg.org are good15:48
Cheri703feedbooks has some paid books, but LOTS of free ones15:48
Cheri703scooter2: don't know what you got of what I was last saying, did you get any of my responses to you?15:55
Cheri703(wasn't sure with the ping timeout)15:56
scooter2Cheri703: The last thing I saw was "last friday"16:07
Cheri703ah, ok16:08
scooter2Sorry that took so long!16:08
Cheri703I'd said they've primarily been in one series, and there are several free ebook sites www.feedbooks.com and gutenberg.org are good16:08
Cheri703feedbooks has paid books as well, but a good selection of free ones16:08
Cheri703gutenberg and feedbooks take public domain works and repackage them, though feedbooks has some original works in there for free as well16:09
scooter2Cool! I mostly read books old school, but I'll certainly pass the names on to my friend. As well as librivox.org, public domain audiobooks.16:10
scooter2I read half of Anna Karenina on a palm pilot once--I didn't realize it was so long until I actually saw the book!16:11
Cheri703yeah, it's a bit weird to just read straight through and then realize just how much you actually read16:16
scooter2Yup!16:19
Unit193How many passes does memtest need?17:57
canthus13Unit193: If it doesn't fail in 2 or three passes, it's not likely to.18:01
canthus13Does the machine have a built-in video chipset?18:02
Unit193It's a small form computer18:03
canthus13Check the video heat sink.18:04
Unit193That would kill network too? (How exactly would I check?)18:05
Unit193Pass 5, test 718:07
canthus13It could kill it for sure, especially if the chipset is integrated into the northbridge. (southbridge?)18:08
canthus13I'd make sure there's no dust, possibly remove the sink and redo the thermal conductor.18:08
canthus13The other possibility is that the PSU is going out.18:09
canthus13Voltage fluctuations will cause the system to crash.18:09
Unit193Is there an easy way to test? (I'll see if I can pickup another PSU)18:13
Unit193I have blown it out twice so I don't think it's dust18:20
canthus13A PSU tester. :)18:31
canthus13And if it's a small form-factor, it might have a non-standard PSU...18:31
Unit193I'm thinking video... And it's something that can be changed...18:32
Unit193PSU isn't normal. The video had a (moving/odd/) line down the side...18:32
canthus13Could be.. try a different card and disble onboard video in bios.18:35
Unit193I don't think I have anything that can go in a small form-factor18:36
Unit193If I can't get this to work, I am going to have to use Vista half the time... :( (Maybe I can find something to replace it?)18:45
canthus13Hmm...18:51
gilbertBiosElement: ping.  there's an issue with your vote.  its signed with key 8b9e357d, but launchpad says your key is 9cf898dd23:33
BiosElementgilbert: I'll update LP, that's an outdated key23:33
gilbertok, thanks :)23:33
gilbertcanthus13: same problem.  your launchpad key is e4f47252, but your voting key is 5C0BCA1E23:40
BiosElementShows how much we use launchpad >.>23:41
gilberttrue ;)23:41
gilbertwell, really once you have a key you should really never need a new one23:41
gilbertunless its been compromised23:41
gilbert(or i guess more likely if you've forgotten the passphrase)23:42
BiosElementHah, or a faulty HD that I enjoyed busting up >.>23:43
* BiosElement has about had it with identica23:45
canthus13gilbert: Meh. forgot how to update that key... and I can't revoke the old one. :(23:46
gilbertit should just be something like gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-key <key>23:46
canthus13Bah. How do I decrypt the freaking mesasge with gmail?23:53
BiosElementCopy/Paste is your friend sadly23:54
canthus13Yeah, but into what? I'm assuming I dump it into a file, but how do I decrypt said file?23:55
gilbertgpg --decrypt file23:55
canthus13Ah. cool.23:56
gilberteasy enough ;)23:56
BiosElementgilbert: Updated LP btw23:57
canthus13gilbert: All fixed.23:57
gilbertok, great.  thanks guys23:57
canthus13no prob.23:57
BiosElementprob, but no major prob. :P23:59
