[09:58] the little icon that appears in the title bar [09:58] lol [09:58] what does it do Squirm [09:58] Squirm: your bots? [09:58] Kilos: http://mybroadband.co.za/favicon.ico [09:59] https://www.google.co.za/favicon.ico [09:59] http://www.raspberrypi.org/favicon.ico [09:59] enough [09:59] Kilos: it just makes it look better :P [09:59] and appears when you bookmark the page [09:59] you have a nice logo that you can easily resize into a favicon [10:00] yep [10:00] *hrm* will do that :) [10:00] there are a ton of tools online that will do the job for you [10:00] like this one: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ [10:01] that tiny little icon [10:01] i dont even see them [10:01] you just resize it to about 32x32 [10:01] is it an active thing [10:01] the only feedback i would have is that maybe you would like to consider having the menu options on the front page (like Network Auditing) expand with a little bit of javascript inside the same page [10:01] that instead of opening a whole new page [10:01] you can do that very easily with some jquery, just show and hide, you can even use animation [10:02] http://api.jquery.com/show/ [10:02] http://api.jquery.com/hide/ [10:02] *hrm* thanks :) thats a nice idea [10:02] and personally i would put my contact details in the top-right corner of the page and do away with the top menu altogether [10:03] do I hve to do anything in the code to reference that favicon [10:03] or does it do it automatically [10:03] automatically [10:03] the browser checks the favicon.ico in the root of the site [10:03] back [10:03] wb magespawn [10:03] well. it should be there now [10:03] :p [10:04] hmm strange that i don't yet see it [10:04] lemme clear my cache [10:04] hmmm [10:04] I see it [10:05] strange i don't see it in chromium [10:05] I do [10:06] i don't see it in firefox either - very strange indeed [10:06] and I just closed and opened the page again [10:06] i've even restarted my browser [10:07] btw i just looked it up: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon [10:07] the preferred method does seem to be to have a in your page [10:07] and according to the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon [10:07] hrm, will add that in a few [10:08] the most well supported seems to be this: [10:08] Google [10:09] hmm, interesting, i haven't seen that used before [10:11] neither have I [10:11] but then again. I don't really do websites [10:12] i would rather follow the traditional way [10:12] for compatibility [10:12] I thought I'd check google, cause they'd go with compatibility [10:12] :) Brb, need a cigarette [10:12] but I really don't know. I just think a favicon looks good [10:13] interesting: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/links.html#rel-icon [10:13] i don't care about favicons much myself but it does add a nice finishing touch [10:13] just makes it look well-worked-off [10:13] well rounded off or however you say it in english :P [10:13] oh sweet. our cache is 25Gb. but on average, we're saving between 15%-20% bandwidth usage a day [10:13] which is only about 1Gb [10:14] but on a 4mb line, it'll make a difference [10:16] Squirm: how do you avoid stale cache issues? [10:17] charlvn: I don't know :P my first time I'm doing something like thise [10:17] I let squid do what it does [10:17] i have a general hate against generic proxy caches due to various reasons, that being one of them [10:18] but it might be a benefit on low-bandwidth environments [10:18] charlvn: at any one time, we can have a max of 60 students + staff on the net [10:18] server-side reverse proxies can be really powerful though [10:18] but that's under the developer's control [10:19] where i work we have about 15.000 but then again we have a lot more bandwidth :) [10:20] we're getting 4x4mb lines in January [10:20] charlvn: where do you work? [10:20] Squirm: i prefer not to say [10:20] ok [10:22] * Squirm yawns [10:22] heh, in most cases because of the speed lines Im used to working with, we find that proxy servers actually just end up bottlenecking [10:22] oh shut it [10:23] :/ [10:23] heh Squirm the problem is trying to explain that to the client [10:23] meh [10:23] "Get rid of your proxy server" "zomg why" "because its making your network slow" [10:23] lol [10:23] then they are like, can't we upgrade it to handle the bandwidth [10:24] and Im like, well, you can, but here is what thats gonna cost [10:24] :P then they throw it out [10:24] I wish my line was fast enough to make a proxy pointless [10:24] hopefully next year it'll be better [10:24] * Symmetria just ordered his new home wireless gear [10:25] stupid exchange can only handle 4mbit [10:25] heh, complete overkill for a house, and spent WAY 2 much money [10:25] but I'll have the sweetest wireless setup anywhere [10:25] I've gone with a 5 AP Aruba config with a controller that lets me roam between APs without any hit whatsoever [10:26] it even does proper signal degradation handoff and jams any APs that arent authorized [10:27] ... [10:27] I want a pair of these [10:27] http://www.ubnt.com/airfiber [10:27] R16k a pop from Miro though [10:29] heh squirm the Aruba stuff is around 4 to 5k an AP and then like, 60k for the controller, but its amazing gear, truely amazing [10:31] ... [10:44] for those who haven't seen this yet, quite cool: Explore a Google data center with Street View http://youtu.be/avP5d16wEp0 [10:54] wow [11:05] very wow [11:06] this is a relatively old post but also interesting: http://gigaom.com/cleantech/a-rare-look-inside-facebooks-oregon-data-center-photos-video/ [11:07] Squirm: i was looking at the wavion eqiupment from Miro [11:08] this particularly [11:08] http://www.miro.co.za/detail.aspx?pid=1851&p=&sp=&spp= [11:14] anybody know some good online material to learn how to use a mulitmeter, preferable video? [11:15] each multimeter is different [11:15] but they are generally very easy to use [11:16] what exactly do you want to do? [11:16] just not sure how to use all the functions [11:16] just look up your particular model [11:16] maybe you can find a guide online [11:23] did find some, just thought to ask, maybe there was one hidden away somewhere [11:25] what you wanna measure magespawn [11:25] multimeter as in volts ohms amps resistance etc? [11:26] yes Kilos, only really know how to use the volatge tester [11:26] they quite simple to use [11:27] ok so volts dc and ac you got [11:27] yup [11:28] what more you wanna know [11:28] there is one section with the F symbol, not sure what that does? [11:29] you sure its F [11:29] most have 2 volts 1 mV [11:30] ohms [11:30] yup with measurements in 200u, 20u, 2u, 200n and 20n [11:30] that upside down crazy u thing [11:30] thats for resistance [11:30] yeah have that too [11:30] with measurements in 200 [11:30] then it be new stuff maybe frequency [11:31] or farads [11:31] never seen a meter with that on [11:31] farads measure condensors [11:31] capacitors [11:32] hmm well will do some research online [11:32] we just used ohms and look for kick in meter then revewrse leads for another kick [11:33] new multimeters can measure capacitance [11:34] for ref it is this one http://www.made-in-china.com/showroom/weihuaelectronic/product-detailybomnxQKaE [11:35] link doesn't work [11:35] sorry [11:35] http://www.made-in-china.com/showroom/weihuaelectronic/product-detailybomnxQKaEhZ/China-Digital-Multimeter-DT9205A-.html [11:36] it seems ok [11:36] what price? [11:37] bought it some time ago so not sure but I think about R300 [11:37] if you shop around you will even find ones that can measure temperature humidity and decibells (sound) [11:37] that is an OK price for that thing [11:55] greetings to all [11:56] whew, heavy hail storm. 8ta tower died for a while too [11:58] wow [11:59] some bits bigget than top of beer bottle [11:59] cap [12:00] that's not exactly fine hail but i've seen pieces of hail much bigger than a golf ball [12:00] we had that a few times in george [12:06] not healthy to walk around in that methinks [12:06] nope life endangering more like it :) [12:07] it caused serious damage [12:07] luckily we didn't suffer any damage but some people's cars got messed up and glass panels on the roof got broken [12:07] hail got inside the house, ruined everything [12:07] big insurance disaster, because insurance doesn't want to pay for natural disasters sometimes [12:07] etc etc i could carry on [12:08] but just by the sound on the roof it felt like a full-out onslaught! [12:09] yeah we got a tin roof here, couldnt here myself think [12:27] phew [12:27] ok yes, i was in a building with one of those as well [12:27] i know what you mean :) now imagine gold sided (or larger) hail on a tin roof [12:27] lol [12:32] gold sided? golf sized? [12:34] lol [12:34] golf man [12:34] golf ball size [12:34] only 10mm rain though [13:00] magespawn: golf sized lol [13:00] how the heck did i type gold sided [13:01] no idea, did make for stange reading though [13:01] :D [13:01] that would have been awesome though [13:01] gold raining from the sky [13:01] _very_ dangerous, but awesome [13:01] wow that would destroy everything on the ground, gold is heavy [13:02] my uncle worked at a mine for many years [13:02] make everyone rich, and kill the world economy instantly [13:03] i think it will just devalue the price of gold drastically :P [13:04] but we could make computer chips with the gold [13:04] it's a very good conductor i think [13:04] or no, that was silver actually [13:04] look like they had some fun at the Durban release party [13:04] pics or it didn't happen :) [13:06] yup pics are up on g+ [13:11] url ? :) [13:16] https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/114667672517793596439/albums/5801318726666261265 [13:17] ah yes [13:17] very nice [13:18] i think they must either love or hate geeks at that coffee shop [13:19] cool [13:19] very nice!
