=== JanC is now known as Guest61812 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [04:07] ducasse: Hey. A thought. Hoz that "book" comming along ? I have yet to see my share of the royalties :) [06:01] To slow for me to keep up . Gone to bed - G nite [07:19] good morning all [12:12] Hi folks [13:47] \o BluesKaj - hope you are well and have a wonderful xmas :) [13:50] hi ducasse, thanks, have a very Merry Christmas as well and the best to you and yours for the new year :-) [20:30] Procrastinating; I can come up with no better way than here on IRC . [20:31] me, all day [20:32] hiya Bashing-om - back in business? ;) [20:33] The rain is is comming .. Rather than get caught out in the rain .. I just pester all yall :) [20:35] ducasse: Wonder of wonders, moving the spinners off the same SATA buss as the SSD ( and great grieve to fix the file systems on the spinners) .. and YES .. solid and stable ! [20:36] we had some ice this morning. [20:36] like... sleet I guess. [20:36] or just frozen rain [20:37] nicomachus: Here is unseasonably warm ! .. no ice .. NO white Christmas . My feelings are not hurt . [20:42] Bashing-om: had a similar problem once, turned out to be some bad caps on one controller, causing some drives to work while others failed. resoldered, and everything was fine. === JanC is now known as Guest57833 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [20:46] ducasse: Yeah, had that same thought of bad caps .. took a flashlight and a magnifing glass to look . saw nothing to get concerned about . Been stable for 2 days now ... but my fingers are still crossed . [20:55] Bashing-om: what kind of board is this? [20:58] ducasse: An old Abit KN9 SLI, nvidia chip sets ! I recently replaced the ATI graphic's card with an nVida card ( just prior to installeing the SSD) . [21:01] Bashing-om: cpu socket? [21:01] (too lazy to look up myself ;) [21:14] Bashing-om: only reason i ask is because i might have a functioning board you can use - you're welcome to it. [21:22] ducasse: It be on AM2 sockets .. but these boards are so old ! Really not worth the effort to keep them up . Besides which I have an newer box ( Asrock board) that I could move the drives to . [21:23] Bashing-om: ah, ok then. let me know if you need anything, though, lots of stuff in my magic box of tricks :) [21:27] ducasse: Thanks ! .. Always nice to have a shoulder to lean on - sometimes just to cry on ! But really, I have had and worked on this present box so long and so much ... I am kind of partial to it . Still able to do all I want of it and more . Runs 16.04 just fine so I am good 'til 2021 ! [21:32] Bashing-om: you have the right attitude: run it till the magic smoke disappears! ;) [21:36] ducasse: This ole box is 'most "sailor proof" .. takes a beating and keeps on keep'n on . Sometimes I do have to beat on it .. stubborn mule that it is . [21:43] desktops are out. [21:45] i feel silly with a pc&lcd ready to go stored in a corner. [21:50] desktops are not out. [21:51] desktops are just getting a new purpose. [21:52] How do you know you are getting old ? .. can only think straight sitting in front of a desktop machine ! [21:54] >:) [22:01] In that catagory of "old" - still use a PS2 mechanical keyboard .. just to old to change now ! The noise is comforting , and the Wife can keep track of me . [22:04] PS/2 is better than USB for peripherals i think :) lower level interrupts [22:08] daftykins: So long as ya keep in mind ... can not hot swap ! [22:09] indeed! although i did encounter some newer boards that still keep PS/2, which are capable [22:12] If ya can find them ! Here in backwards county Ark. try and find a PS2 mouse .. Uh Huh .not enough local demand to even stock them .. shucks !
