[02:08] I am going to try and block my time [02:08] like do 30 minutes of X [02:08] and 30 minutes of Y === Joe_CoT is now known as GREAT_DECIDER === GREAT_DECIDER is now known as Joe_CoT [03:20] i hate crappy response papers [03:20] "why did you find this interesting' [03:20] because it's worth 10% of my grade... [03:20] lol [03:20] lol [06:17] How about: "I did NOT find it interesting, I'm only here because I want a good grade." [10:48] Morning [11:01] MOrning. [11:07] MOrning JonathanD [11:14] Hi. [14:44] http://lwn.net/Articles/479710/ [14:44] who's running PennBot? [14:44] we need to get the link thing working again [14:49] anonical pulls the plug on Kubuntu [14:49] yeah [14:49] interesting [14:50] they've really stopped caring about anything but unity [14:50] caring and underwriting are exclusive [14:51] why does lwn still have that terrible layout though? [14:51] i wish they'd choose something saner [14:51] I like the minimalism. I don't like the layout [14:52] i wish i read it more [14:52] it's rather good [14:52] I need to get a subscription [14:53] i just subscribed DOH - i have a subscription - THANKS MARK - never subscribed to email [14:54] whut [14:55] Canonical supports jedijf [14:55] lwn subscription [14:55] haha [14:55] true, all members get LWN sub as bonus [14:57] what is the command for nvermind... [14:57] xprop [15:01] WOHOOOO [15:01] jedijf: new 3.0.20 kernel can "According to Matthew Garrett, who developed the patch, the change can reduce the power consumption of a Thinkpad X220 by 5 watts. " [15:02] how'd they know I wanted that so badly? [15:02] on my natty install I could get down to 8-9 watts. [15:02] now i'm at like 15/16 [15:05] its mostly this crappy realtek driver [15:05] no powersaving on it yet [15:22] that's a young persons game; my era is more power [15:30] lol [15:31] I am loooking into getting a opteron build server going [15:31] MutantTurkey, i'm running PennBot, but I also had an explodified python lib set, so its on a fractured system atm [15:32] unless any of you has an additional 55MB RAM you can lend me on a VPS or a server... :P [15:33] EvilResistance: let me check [15:33] nope [15:33] 55mb [15:33] holy crap [15:33] thats what its using actively right now [15:34] (i should point out its in 3 channels, excluding its reporting channel) [15:34] This is gonna be a bad day. [15:34] * EvilResistance SSH's to the box and digs around in the system [15:34] why JonathanD [15:34] remote server hosted with crappy provider is down. [15:34] won't reboot, won't come back up. [15:37] hmm... [15:37] MutantTurkey, i've loaded the URL plugin, but it seems to not work [15:38] i'll have to dig around further to find out why [15:38] huh [15:38] http://google.com [15:39] MutantTurkey, the "title snarfer" config option doesnt show up, so i'm digging around for the configs [15:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens [15:40] whut whut whut [15:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patagonia [15:40] MutantTurkey: ^^ [15:41] yep [15:43] https://trekweb.org/ [15:43] Title: TrekWeb Internet Services - About Us (at trekweb.org) [15:43] ^ there we go [15:44] MutantTurkey, want to guess why it wasnt working? [15:44] :P [15:44] why? [15:45] because they have two plugins that do the same thing and no difference in description between the two... [15:45] but it doesnt correctly run in one of the plugins :P [15:47] http://www.lameexcuseplugin.com [15:47] lamalex... [15:47] plugin.dotcom [15:48] wtfh... [15:48] * EvilResistance beats the system [15:48] that returned an error jedijf [15:50] any chance anyone here has used Facebook chat with Pidgin? [15:51] adom, a while ago, then they changed their API and things exploded [15:53] adom: yes [15:53] I thought it was just XMPP? [15:53] it works fairly well for me [15:53] or did [15:53] yeah its xmpp but its not working for me [15:53] keeps saying "Not authorized" [15:53] i even tried the Facebook plugin for Pidgin which keeps saying Incorrect username or password [15:53] but i use the exact same user/pass tologin to the site [15:54] * EvilResistance points at his last statement which points out Facebook changed their API and things broke [15:54] so using facebook chat via pidgin no longer works? [15:55] i cant get it to work with Empathy either, so... [15:55] and fwiw i dont really use facebook anymore so... :p [16:00] i use FB all the time to communicate with friends/family [16:01] just want to close the web page and just have chat available [16:01] huh [16:02] use facebook's chat in it's own window [16:02] thats nice [16:02] i stopped using it on bitlbee to avoid people [16:02] MutantTurkey: dont think you can do that anymore [16:02] so use bitlbee [16:02] hmm [16:02] huh [16:03] bitlbee is just as bad [16:03] isn't itbased on libpurple? [16:03] whatever works ill try at this point [16:03] assuming its not insecure [16:03] er....unsecure? [16:03] not secure [16:03] it's facebook [16:03] if its that, i dont like it [16:04] food or work === paulproteus_ is now known as paulproteus [17:33] i got facebook chat to work via xmpp in pidgin. but now im second guessing pidgin as my im client. i dont think i can turn off the Snort updates of people logging in and out of facebook and its really annoying. [17:33] most im clients let you customize notifications, but i cant find anything in pidgin that does. [17:35] debating giving the bitlbee train a ride... [17:35] can somoene give me a quick one line explanation of how it works? [17:35] my guess is that bitlbee is a server that runs locally [or remotely?] and irssi has a plugin that connects to the bitlbee server? [17:36] also accepting linux im client recommendations [17:52] bitlbee is an IM client [17:53] there isn't a one line explanation but there is a nice page pleia2 created about getting started with bitlbee [17:54] http://princessleia.com/bitlbee.php [17:54] Title: PrincessLeia.com - Bitlbee Quickstart Guide (Online Edition) & Notes (at princessleia.com) [17:54] i thought bitlbee was a server that you view with an irc client [17:54] It is an IM client that runs as an IRC server [17:55] wow princessleia.com, impressive [17:55] pleia2 is impressive [18:54] any of you using musicbrainz ? [18:56] bleck [19:31] InHisName: i think ive used the Picard thingy before for automatic MP3 tagging [20:23] wth...since when is CentOS a desktop distro? [20:24] coworker installed it on a box thinking of tossing up a quick LAMP server...upon restart we were presented gnome2 desktop interface [20:24] ive only ever known CentOS as a server OS [20:54] I think I am going to transplant my computer into an old case [20:55] I need a case for mine. [20:55] I have a semi-decent gaming rig in a piece of bent aluminum. [20:55] lol [20:56] It used to be a case, probably even a good one. [20:56] But the side is missing pieces, all the drive bays up front are missing the fillers, and it just looks like crap [20:56] Well, I have this Antec Sonata case that is heavy duty and quiet despite its many fans but the motherboard is ancient and it needs a new power supply because the one it has does not have thermal controls. (I replaced it and was too cheap... oops) [20:56] And the power supply in the current case I think is what is making obnoxious noises [20:56] So I will need a new power supply too [20:57] You could potentially have my old case [20:57] I have a good PSU. [20:57] There is nothing wrong with it aside from poor noise dampening ability for my many fans and hard drives [20:57] well [20:57] ok [20:57] it's mostly good [20:57] The fan doesn't work [20:58] haha. That is mostly good? [20:58] so I shoved another one in and wired it to the HDD power supply [20:58] I need to stop buying things with fans [20:58] The previous power supply made my HDD catch on fire, so I took it out. [20:59] When I am done the Sonata will be sporting 5-8 hard drives, two 120mm fans, CPU fan, graphics card fan, power supply fan [20:59] Too many fans. [20:59] That is a good reason to remove it. lol [20:59] I thought so. [20:59] Yet... I kept it. [20:59] When I had a quiet PSU the whole system was quiet. It was amazing [20:59] Logic would dicate it should be thrown away. [20:59] But maybe I can use it still! [20:59] Antec Sonata is very well built [21:00] The current PSU is an antec something. [21:00] I think. [21:00] :-\ [21:00] But, flaming hard drives are bad [21:00] ChinnoDog: not the burning one. [21:00] the burning one, I took out. [21:00] one of the HDD power connectors was sort of smushed. [21:00] so it shorted. [21:01] and melted the plastic right off the drive. [21:01] oops [21:01] the drive still works if you shove some paper or something in the socket so the leads make contact. [21:01] But I opted to replace that, too :) [21:01] I have a nifty little 10,000rpm SATA disk in it now, instead. [21:02] I need a hot swap cage so I can add all my hard drives [21:02] I only game on this machine. [21:02] Only one disk. All my storage is on NAS. [21:02] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136322 is the disk, I got one for free. [21:02] Title: Newegg.com - Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gbs 3.5 Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (at www.newegg.com) [21:02] it's only 300GB though. [21:03] "free"? [21:03] yes [21:03] My boss gives me his "old" stuff. [21:03] sweet [21:03] Thats also how I got the NAS, actually. [21:03] And the holodeck [21:04] only some of it [21:04] and one of these babys... http://www.dexternights.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lenovo-thinkpad-x200-tablet_4a2.jpg [21:05] This means that JonathanD's boss must have a really kick-ass holodeck in HIS basement. [21:13] By the time I am done my computer is going to weigh a ton [21:13] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816215242 [21:13] Title: Newegg.com - iStarUSA BPN-DE230SS-RED 2 x 5.25 to 3 x 3.5 SASSATA Trayless Hot-Swap Cage - Server Accessories (at www.newegg.com) [21:13] I like it. Trayless, supports SATA 1-3 and SAS 1 and 2 [21:20] What do you call the connector on a power supply that you plug your fans into so that it can regulate the fan speed? [21:24] I'm tempted to get a fanless power supply and get a thermocouple controlled rear 120mm fan with a pass-through connector for the forward fan [21:24] you mean the molex connectors? or the 3-4 pin headers on your motherboard? [21:24] I mean on the PSU specs. some of them control additional internal fans for you, some of them don't [21:24] I forget what type of connectors they have. i will have to look [21:24] ive never been much of a fan speed control person [21:25] just let the bios handle it [21:25] never had an overheating issue with decent ventilation [21:26] i take that back [21:26] back in the day i used to run dual SLi video cards in my dad's dusty basement. one day i started getting visual errors, like bright lines streaking across the screen. then the PC just stopped turning on. [21:27] took out the video cards and both had seeping capacitors [21:27] so, besides that, ive never had an overheating issue [21:27] * adom blushes. [21:28] i need to start keeping track of my away status [21:28] * adom waves bye. [21:29] seeping capacitors was a production problem [21:29] It affected all computers made with them. I think that era lasted about a year and a half. [21:29] It was too big to recall [21:50] looks like the rear fan has molex connector only. It came with the case. Forward hard drive fan has 3 pin connector that splits into a molex pass-through for power and a single wire 3 pin connector so it can be controlled by the motherboard [22:32] I made a huge mess on my floor. Computer parts everywhere [23:03] who wanted that kernel 3.2 source? [23:03] francisbrwn9/kernels/ubuntu/ [23:03] from PPA [23:04] erstazi: was that you?\ [23:39] Sure, I move the computer so I can verify what is making the noise and now it won't do it [23:39] after I went through all the work to hollow out another case for it [23:40] woop woop [23:45] ... it did it, and I fixed it. It was the GPU fan [23:48] I take it back. It isn't fixed, but it is the GPU fan. hmm [23:48] pleia2 knows all about having too many fans
