[14:28] <thafreak> What have I missed folks?
[14:28] <thafreak> Hows the ubucon/olf planning going?
[16:12] <thafreak> where you from jackson ?
[16:12] <jackson> western PA
[16:12] <thafreak> ah ok
[16:13] <jackson> Butler
[16:13] <thafreak> you're ip looked similar to mine
[16:13] <jackson> ok
[16:13] <thafreak> oh ok...where armstrong is based :)
[16:13] <jackson> yep
[16:13] <jackson> and u?
[16:13] <thafreak> they don't service many areas...
[16:13] <thafreak> I'm in Medina ohio
[16:14] <thafreak> I think they only really service youngstown, medina, and western pa...
[16:14] <jackson> ok    they service above pittsburgh and below I80
[16:15] <thafreak> you lurk the ohio loco room much? :)
[16:15] <jackson> occ
[16:15] <thafreak> you come to OLF ever?
[16:15] <jackson> olf?
[16:15] <thafreak> ohio linux fest
[16:16] <jackson> no just ham fests
[16:16] <thafreak> you far from columbus?
[16:16] <jackson> 5 hrs
[16:16] <thafreak> oh, ouch...that'd be a journey...
[16:17] <thafreak> we've seen people from michigan and indianna and PA all come though
[16:17] <jackson> i lived in Dayton 4 4 years
[16:18] <thafreak> are there any largish gatherings of linux folk in your neck of the woods?
[16:18] <paultag> thafreak: I'm going to try to put Boston on that list :)
[16:18] <jackson> anope very few
[16:18] <thafreak> paultag: well, if you don't, you *WILL* be replaced with a shell script
[16:18] <paultag> thafreak: and I'm fine with that :)
[16:18] <thafreak> oh, maybe I'll try out festival
[16:18] <paultag> while [ true ]; echo "fuck"; sleep 10; done
[16:18] <paultag> ah yes
[16:19] <paultag> echo "fuck" | festival --tts
[16:19] <thafreak> might not be kid freindly though :)
[16:19] <paultag> thafreak: who said I was kid friendly? :)
[16:19] <thafreak> nobody, but OLF probably should be :)
[16:19] <paultag> true :P
[16:19] <thafreak> need to get them while they're young...make linux users for life out of them
[16:20] <thafreak> I think that'll be my second tattoo...
[16:20] <paultag> hahaha
[16:20] <thafreak> first has to be for my wife...i already promised her that :)
[16:20] <paultag> I want to get the hacker's emblem, the glider on my wrist
[16:20] <paultag> awwww
[16:20] <thafreak> i'm thinking binary...
[16:20] <thafreak> but not your average run of the mill ascii to binary
[16:21] <paultag> something gzip compressed or something
[16:21] <thafreak> if it's text, it'll probably be utf-8 :)
[16:21] <thafreak> or, I'm toying with 1bit bitmap image...
[16:21] <paultag> ohh, clever
[16:21] <thafreak> :)
[16:22] <thafreak> b/w images with decent dithering look good enough I figured
[16:23] <thafreak> Hey, did you guys hear that google bought motorola mobility division???
[16:23] <paultag> yeah! nuts!
[16:24] <thafreak> now I got to wait till nexus++ comes out for my next phone...hopefully it won't be that long of a wait
[16:25] <paultag> :)
[16:31] <jackson> guys i got to go so see u later
[16:43] <thafreak> so jackson was a kde user it seems...
[16:54] <Cheri703> paultag: http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/24core-linux-cluster-in-30-ikea-drawers-079331
[16:55] <paultag> Cheri703: oh that is just brilliant
[16:56] <Cheri703> I thought it was a cool idea :) and you could totally get the cabinet, start with one, and add as funds became available :)
[16:57] <dzho> just start in the top drawer and work your way down
[16:57] <paultag> Cheri703: that'd be fun :)
[16:57] <dzho> that way, you can put paperclips etc in the bottom ones without worrying about them falling into the CPU fan.
[16:57] <paultag> I'd be able to do it cheeper, I think
[16:57] <Cheri703> yeah, use it as storage til you build it up
[16:57] <paultag> there's no reason to use HDs in the cluster
[16:57] <thafreak> doesn't look like the hard drives are mounted very stabily though
[16:58] <Cheri703> yeah, they discussed that in the comments on his site
[16:58] <thafreak> yeah, I'd do net booting, or exteranal storage via esata
[16:58] <Cheri703> from him: "Thanks. The fit and portability are definitely awesome. We transported  this across the country in the passenger seat of a car with the seatbelt  on and the drawers taped shut."
[16:58] <paultag> so that's 300 off the bill
[16:58] <paultag> I wonder if I can do something like virtual machines that can migrate like vSphere does
[16:59] <paultag> but with virtualbox or xen or kvm or something
[16:59] <thafreak> if you have more than one machine in a cluster like that, you really should put the storage outside...unless the cluster is specifically for providing storage itself :)
[16:59] <paultag> thafreak: truth
[16:59] <thafreak> uh, paultag, totally
[16:59] <thafreak> have you looked at the recent kvm/libvirt stuff?
[16:59] <paultag> thafreak: nope
[17:00] <thafreak> does exactly that
[17:00] <thafreak> as long as you have storage that is accessible by all nodes
[17:00] <thafreak> so iscsi/nfs works fine
[17:00] <Cheri703> could have a raid setup in one drawer :)
[17:00] <thafreak> or gluster I think is supported too
[17:00] <paultag> thafreak: oh interesting
[17:00] <paultag> fuck, now I want to do this
[17:00] <thafreak> yes you could...as long as you have some way to stabily mount the drives
[17:00] <Cheri703> paultag: this could be your hardhack you were looking for :)
[17:01] <paultag> I bet I could cut it back to a few PSUs
[17:01]  * Cheri703 was lurking the other day ;)
[17:01] <paultag> Cheri703: :)
[17:01] <Cheri703> read the comments on the guy's site
[17:01] <Cheri703> some good suggestions there
[17:01] <Cheri703> it is linked in the article
[17:01] <thafreak> Reminds me of the time in college I tried to build my own case out of plexi glass...way back when ALL computers were the same beige color....no exceptions
[17:02] <Cheri703> depending on how tall the drawers are, you could do 2.5" drives up on their sides, and could probably fit a LOT of them in there even with airflow...
[17:03] <thafreak> you can buy enclosures to mount drives in, that you could bolt into the draw...and they mostly come with fans too...
[17:03] <paultag> shit, this would be fun
[17:03] <Cheri703> lamer use of the same cabinet: http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/how-to/how-to-turn-ikea-drawers-into-a-cpu-house-129799
[17:05] <Cheri703> http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/availability/00107874/
[17:05] <dzho> also http://wiki.eth-0.nl/index.php/List_of_IkeaRacks
[17:06] <paultag> hummm
[17:06] <paultag> I wonder if I can cluster a shitload of ARM machines
[17:06] <paultag> they would be more size effective
[17:07] <thafreak> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817993002
[17:07] <thafreak> you could fit like 200 arm machines in that
[17:08] <thafreak> if you get the equivalent of the pogo plug...the bare board
[17:08] <paultag> dude, a backpack supercluster
[17:08] <thafreak> dual core 1.x ghz arms
[17:08] <Cheri703> oh, also, I'm told that pogo plugs are 50% off today...not sure how long that goes
[17:08] <thafreak> wow, where is that at?
[17:09] <paultag> +1
[17:09] <paultag> I need one
[17:09] <thafreak> I could use another
[17:09] <paultag> , and the price
[17:09] <paultag> www.crunchgear.com/.../pogoplug-drops-the-cable-and-the-price/ - CachedAug 17, 2010 – I'm a big fan of PogoPlug devices. They're super simple to use, and they're pretty regularly updated with new features based on customer ...
[17:09] <paultag> Ah fucking windows
[17:09] <paultag> FUCK this shit
[17:09] <paultag> fucking selects a website and barfs it into mintty
[17:10] <thafreak> that's not that cheap
[17:10] <thafreak> I got my original version (pink) pogo plug for $60...
[17:11] <thafreak> they must be pushing their newer one...
[17:11] <paultag> oh shit
[17:11] <paultag> I think I know what I can do...
[17:11] <Cheri703> ah, it is a canadian company (am talking to hypatia), though I might be able to talk her into a bulk order if necessary :)
[17:11] <paultag> arduino cluster
[17:12] <Cheri703> oh, if anyone has ideas for a SUPER SUPER beginner arduino project that doesn't require a lot of money in parts and other bits, I have an adruino sitting in my desk drawer with no idea where to start
[17:12] <paultag> Cheri703: I have tons of code!
[17:12] <Cheri703> OR if anyone has some of the "other bits" they want to donate to the cause, I'd be open to that too :)
[17:12] <paultag> Cheri703: all you need is a USB cable and it will play with the onboard LED
[17:12] <Cheri703> ok
[17:13] <paultag> Cheri703: https://gist.github.com/646396
[17:13] <paultag> Cheri703: super simple, easy to learn, well documented
[17:13] <Cheri703> playing with arduino will go on list of things to get to...have a lot of stuff I have been putting off and am finally getting to some of it
[17:14] <paultag> Cheri703: arduinos rule
[17:15] <paultag> Oh fuck, nevermind
[17:15] <paultag> I can do my project I never finished!
[17:15] <paultag> the relay CPU
[17:15] <paultag> rather, ALU
[17:15] <paultag> rather, full 8 bit adder
[17:15] <Cheri703> paultag: I've been reading more about the infosec stuff, and while I haven't actually learned to DO anything yet, I'm finding it fascinating
[17:15] <Cheri703> :)
[17:16] <paultag> Cheri703: :)
[17:16] <Cheri703> I do also want to get back to my "take things apart and put them back together differently" roots, so getting into "hardhacks" and the like is on my list as well :)
[17:16] <paultag> Cheri703: truth
[23:45] <ronnoc> hi gang
