[00:23] <cheri703> hey, raspi owners: where did you buy yours?
[00:23] <cheri703> my brother wants one but doesn't want all of the starter kit junk that comes with it from adafruit
[00:46] <paultag> I bought mine very early so it was from some UK vendor
[00:46] <paultag> I'd bet there are better ones now
[00:47] <cheri703> hehe, yeah, I found like 3 for him
[00:47] <cheri703> he was like "aaargh!"
[00:47] <cheri703> also: as he said "this is the WORST IDEA EVER" because basically anyone who plugs their computer into random storage drives deserves what they get: http://www.wimp.com/offlinenetwork/
[00:50] <paultag> Ah man.
[00:50] <paultag> I mean, it's true
[00:58] <cheri703> yeah...
[00:58] <cheri703> that's like (apologies for the non-family friendly example) the computer equivalent of a glory hole :s
[00:59] <cheri703> paultag: are you familiar with openwrt?
[00:59] <paultag> not really
[00:59] <paultag> but I know of it :)

[03:42] <cheri703> so I've installed 12.10 on my desktop, and I am getting repeated "system errors" from various things. None have been the same thing twice. Also my mouse config and xbindkeys refuse to work :( Not sure what's up.
[03:42] <cheri703> I was getting the random system errors occasionally with 12.04, but I've had like 6 in the past hour
[16:40] <thafreak> So my second (and newer version) raspberry pi finally arrived from overseas...
[16:40] <thafreak> also, the cases I ordered with it finally came...they're awesome!
[16:41] <thafreak> Since I have two now I started trying out things like raspbmc
[16:41] <thafreak> I didn't get very far though...
[16:41] <thafreak> wife actually wanted to see me since I had put in over 19hours straight at work the previous days
[16:42] <thafreak> Hey, anyone think buying refurbished hard drives is a bad idea?
[16:43] <thafreak> At work, our storage array has a failing drive or two...
[16:43] <thafreak> if we get refurbished drives, I can buy 2x as many and have cold spares...
[16:43] <thafreak> just not sure if I should trust refurb drives.
[16:45] <thafreak> nm...the reviews have scared me off :)
[16:45] <thafreak> guess we'll just get one cold spare :)

[21:48] <thafreak> Just realized something...I paid $28 for an older stick of 2GB DDR2, and also paid $28 for an 8GB DDR3 kit (2x4GB)
[21:49] <thafreak> geez...never try to by older ram
[21:49] <thafreak> why it's almost cheaper to throw away old hardware
