00:13.45resuDaedhi dankolb
00:14.22dankolbhow goes it?
00:15.16resuDaednot too bad, I'm playing with eBay 'sniping' software
00:15.22dankolb:)
00:15.37dankolbIsn't that a big legally grey?
00:15.45resuDaed(ie place a bid a few seconds before the end of the auction automagically)
00:15.52dankolbBad resuDaed
00:16.15resuDaedtechnically it is a little imorral, but I have lost out on so many bids by 5-10 seconds that I feel I deserve a fighting chance
00:16.43resuDaedso I am going to set it to place max bid say 7 seconds before auction closes
00:16.56resuDaedI want to actually win something for once
00:16.58dankolbGiving someone else plenty of time..
00:17.35dankolbwww.apple.com/ipod/burton/
00:18.17resuDaedif I make it any shorter, then I may not be able to place the bid in time (due to www lag etc)
00:19.08resuDaedpretty damn cool
00:19.50highburyis it Windows or Linux software
00:19.58dankolbUnfortunately, $500 is a bit much to pay for a jacket
00:20.20resuDaedvery true
00:20.51resuDaedhow do I 'install' a .pm perl moduly type addon thingie
00:21.42dankolbStick it somewhere in /usr/lib/perl? </unhelpful>
00:21.55resuDaedit has what appears to be a man page at the end, but the rest is perl syntax
00:23.18resuDaedI have given up with the idea of 'net booting' my compaq, so am going to try booting knoppix
00:23.34resuDaedthen chroot-ing onto the local disk
00:23.58dankolbwhy can't you netboot your compaq?
00:24.16resuDaedI don't a) have time, b) have knowledge
00:24.31dankolbAh.
00:24.47resuDaedwell, the time thingie is just due to pure impatiance
00:24.51dankolbKnowledge is aquired by time
00:25.30resuDaedI CBA to compile a kernel purley for an installation
00:25.38dankolb:)
00:25.38eye69resuDaed: You can load a module from any directory by using 'require' in Perl.
00:26.17resuDaedeye69 : as in hack the orrigional script?
00:26.33eye69Yeah. That way you wont have to install the module in any special way.
00:26.49LeedsresuDaed: silly question - what are you bidding on>
00:27.02resuDaedLeeds : why?
00:27.08resuDaedatm, some hdds
00:27.20eye69Like 'require "/path/to/file.pm";'
00:27.21Leedswhy what?
00:27.22resuDaedif it works, I will go for a laptop, and eventually a sparc
00:27.41resuDaedeye69 : except I cannot find the orrigional script
00:27.49eye69Oki
00:28.16resuDaedan 'update(ing)db atm
00:29.15resuDaed(it takes a very long time)
00:29.17dankolbWe got hold of another Ultra5 at work. Slightly dodgy, though. Sometimes throws up CPU0 exception errors in the middle of booting, and resets itself
00:30.36Leedswe've got a V880 on the way...
00:30.53dankolbV880?
00:31.16resuDaedok, for some reason, this bastard of a compaq isn't booting now
00:31.45Leedshttp://www.sun.com/servers/entry/880/index.html
00:31.47resuDaedI can't access the bios because that requires a proggy on the hdd (orrigional hdds are long gone now)
00:33.05resuDaedI want 64GB of main memory
00:33.23dankolbheh
00:33.33dankolbLeeds: Can you get me one? :)
00:33.40LeedsI think we've got 4 procs and probably 8GB RAM or so
00:33.49Leedsdankolb: sure, at a 0% discount!
00:34.00dankolbBAH
00:34.27Leedsactually, that's not quite true... there *is* an employee discount :-)
00:34.28resuDaedI want 8GM RAM
00:35.12LeedsresuDaed: not that a PC can handle that, but... it'd cost about 700 quid at the moment...
00:35.43resuDaedLeeds : did I say I wanted a regular PC to go with it :-)
00:35.55resuDaedso how much for a V880?
00:36.06LeedsI don't know how much they cost...
00:37.18Leedslist price, for a 4 proc 8Gb machine is...

00:38.08dankolb*drool*
00:38.12resuDaedbah, I want 1TB upwards
00:38.26Leedswe can do 1TB easy...
00:38.41resuDaedLeeds : you get commision on sales?
00:38.43Leedswe've got a couple of terabytes in our lab already...
00:39.06LeedsresuDaed: not that I know of... but if you're looking to buy one, I'll find out :-)
00:39.09resuDaeddoes that come with a 3 year warranty?

00:51.05resuDaedI come from staples corner on the 232 to palmers green, then121 from there to enfield ... pass 4 tescos that I've noticed, 2 at least I know are 24 hour
00:51.06Leedshighbury: I don't know - I've not been into the Brent Park one... the Watford one is enormous - you could buy a PC there now!
00:53.37Fossilsanyone know how i can determine what device my dvd rom is using?
00:53.56Fossilsi was pretty sure it was hdd but it still doesnt read the dvd
00:53.59highburywhere's the best place to buy a box of paper nearby? Tesco used to sell a box of IBM paper 80gms for £9.99 but haven't seen any for a while
00:54.17highburyFossils: /dev/sr0
00:54.43Leedshighbury: staples?
00:54.57Fossilsno that doesnt work either
00:55.06highburyI always thought Staples was quite expensive
00:55.10LeedsFossils: have a look at your boot log... is it an IDE device?

01:02.07Leedsugh!
01:02.24eye69resuDaed: Other way around
01:02.25LeedsFossils: is there a particular reason you're using ide-scsi for a DVD-ROM, anyway?
01:02.27Fossilsreason i?
01:02.58Fossilsthats the dvd rom i have if i dont pass the hdd flag the cd rom is not usuable
01:03.06resuDaedeye69 : I thought so ... I remember it is always backwards, I just can't always remember what the right way around looks like
01:04.21resuDaedwould the fact that I have a net-boot capable card affect the rest of my boot up? ie why it is not attempting to boot from IDE or SCSI?
01:04.32LeedsFossils: are you saying it doesn't work if you just use IDE?
01:04.41murbNukular weapons!
01:04.48Fossilsyes
01:04.50resuDaedmurb : can be fun
01:05.07Fossilsit does it by default when i installed it...it added the hdd part by itself
01:05.21Fossilsthats y slackware deosnt install it cant read my disk
01:05.31resuDaedFossils : that is probably to do with a misplacaed link then ... ide-scsi is only really useful for burning
01:05.57Leedsand I understand the clash is fixed in 2.6 :-)
01:06.00Fossilsahh
01:06.02Fossilsi see

10:48.40SpudULikeTrying to figure out the virtues of running a DNS server locally for a small network.  Info about the local server is taken via DHCP from my ISP.  How would you normally provide local clients with DNS info?  At the moment I am entering this manually, but it just don't seem right.  Is this a good reason to run a local DNS just for my network?  Any other plusses or minuses to take into account?
10:49.22dank_workYou can provide DNS server addresses through DHCP

10:51.09dank_workMmmm....
10:51.12dank_workNice coffee :)
10:51.21dank_workNone of this instant shit any more
10:51.25murbspudulike: well it is one more thing to break...
10:51.29SpudULikeThe local clients are masquerading behind my local server. I can get my clients to ask for the DNS info from my ISPs DHCP server?
10:51.39dank_workNo
10:51.45SpudULikeOh...
10:51.51murbbut it does mean you don't have to keep things like hosts mirroreed on all machines, although that is rather trivial with rdist etc.
10:51.52dank_workYou can run your own DHCP server
10:52.03SpudULikeInstant coffee is only there to give you enough strength to go make real coffee!
10:52.05murbspudulike: you're ona  cabelmodem?
10:52.34SpudULikemurb: Yes, but not a fixed IP.
10:52.55dank_workA cabalmodem?
10:53.16dank_workThe DNS servers should be the same all the time, though
10:53.35SpudULikedank_work: The local clients have fixed IPs, so I didn;t think local DHCP was needed.
10:54.21SpudULikedank_work: I must admit I've not seen them change, but entering the details by hand just seems wrong, even though it is only two machines.
10:54.23dank_workSo you need to give them statis DNS settings
10:54.33dank_workIf it's wrong, that's what DHCP is for
10:55.20SpudULikeSo DHCP isn't just for assigning IP addresses, you would use it to give out DNS info also?
10:56.39dank_workYup
10:56.47dank_workAnd default routes
10:56.58nasratand wins server should you want
10:58.08dank_workAnd lots of other things
10:58.10nasratof course you could always use zeroconf and mdns for local link services
10:58.29dank_workDoes the ISC DHCP server support WINS settings? Or is that some non-standard extension?
10:58.56nasratnope it's in isc netbios-name-servers iirc
10:59.03SpudULikeAh, so, quick recap on my lack of knowledge so far. A DNS server just deals with 'swapping' numbers for words. DHCP provides info about IP addresses and where it can find stuff, like a DNS server?
10:59.35nasratSpudULike: nope DNS can have lots more types of records - KEY, TXT, SRV
11:00.18dank_workMX
11:01.04SpudULikeHmm, what sort of services need to know about "KEY, TXT, SRV"?
11:02.33nasratDNSSEC for one, I believe that mDNS uses SRV for service discovery.  They aren't necessarily as heavily used as A CNAME and MX.  Some ppl use TXT for descriptive stuff in internal dns setups.
11:02.45murbdnssec is a joke
11:03.01nasratAlso frees/wan had a dns based key exchange IIRC
11:03.15murbas is mobile ip, ipsec with opptunistic encryption etc.
11:03.31dank_workwhy?
11:03.35murbnasrat: using txt records.
11:03.38nasratyup esp. with the usagi stuff
11:03.52dank_workusagi?
11:03.53murbdank: because an alternative implementation based on kame has been rolled into 2.5
11:04.03murbdank: linux equiv of wide constortum stuff.
11:04.09dank_workAh ride
11:04.22dank_work*right
11:04.32murband of course it isn't actually usagi stuff that is going into the kernel either.
11:05.09nasratmurb: yeah well there seem to be at least two different japenese groups working on it from what I've seen on lkml
11:06.20TarragonOn a small network with a cable access do you really need to run your own DNS? Is not IP-forwarding sufficient and to use the ISP's DNS numbers?
11:06.39nasratdank_work: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.ipsec.html
11:07.59murbTarragon: internal DNS can be quite nice especally if you build up a WAVPN
11:08.42SpudULikeI'll ask, WAVPN?
11:08.52jason_ukfsnTarragon if you are not doing anything internally other than using the net then you are right you need only using the ISPs DNS servers. If you are doing any internal stuff as well run your own
11:09.07jason_ukfsnWide Area VPN
11:09.09murbjason: or rdist hosts etc.
11:09.27SpudULikeAh.
11:09.28TarragonInternal stuff. Such as?
11:09.30jason_ukfsnUrgh murble, that's a horrible suggestion in my view.
11:09.47murbjason: but if you have a large network dns is nice.
11:10.25jason_ukfsnTarragon such as running file/print servers, MP3 juke boxes, database boxes, whatever you like and want to refer to by service name rather than IP. You can do as murble suggests and manually maintain hosts files which does work well enough tfor small setups
11:10.46jason_ukfsnessential murb, not nice.
11:34.34dank_workjason_ukfsn: for in in `seq 1 254` ; do scp /etc/hosts root@192.168.0.$i:/etc/hosts ; done

11:39.08nasratdank_work: or you can write your own nss service :)

13:13.43dank_workApply the patches manually
13:15.28nesimwhat do you actually mean by update by hand?. i am fairly new to this compilation business and have no experience of patching. i run 2.4.19 right now
13:16.06nesimi mean i am neither a programmer nor a guru and my kernel compilation experience is rather limited, in fact i have very little experience.i run linux on my desktop PC

13:40.16dank_workmurb: Falcon in Wycombe Centre? What time?
13:40.22jason_ukfsnhighbury - I've just received SPAM advertising an event seemingly featuring you.
13:40.29Tarragonmurb: Less truthful? Impossible to get less truthful no matter how long my nose grows
13:40.37jason_ukfsns/karted/larted/
13:41.46murbjason: is that like your special 1u rackmountable bombs?
13:41.56jason_ukfsnLOL marb Shh!
13:42.10highburyjason_ukfsn: I am appearing at an event April 2, but I wasn't aware they were spamming people :-(
13:42.16murbwith intergrated timing and remote mangment device, aka a pc mobo?
13:42.16jason_ukfsns/marb/murb/
13:42.27Clyphox_workA4266 can make tennis ball bombs if called upon
13:42.31murboh my plan worked :)
13:42.37murbhaving a machine called marble that is.
13:42.39jason_ukfsndon't forget the advanced comms module - an ethernet connection ;)
13:43.27murbhave you writen a webmin module for the dummies version?
13:43.37highburyI was going to forward details to the list, it does cost £10, and I don't see any of it :-(
13:43.49jason_ukfsnThat looks like it highbury. I received email addressed to an email listed in the Linux Consultants HOWTO. I've certainly never solicited such messages from them or anyone else.
13:44.07jason_ukfsnWhy are you appearing at an event that is charging if you are not getting paid?
13:44.38jason_ukfsnno murb, I thought I'd just let it respond to connections on ICMP 6.
13:45.24highburywell they said that they were just covering costs, and since it could help the Free/Open software cause, or at least introduce the discussion to people, I agreed to do it
13:45.42murbhave you send the spam to the list?
13:46.08highburyAt least I raise my visibility, and may get the chance to hand some business cards around
13:46.44highburyI don't know, I haven't check the list yet.
13:46.49jason_ukfsnhighbury I wish you luck however I have to say I would not appear for spammers.
13:47.58highburyI intend to advertise it on the list. However, if anybody objects to what's been sent so far, please send the full email with headers to me, and I'll take it up with the organisers
13:48.21jason_ukfsnwhich email address should I send it to highbury?
13:48.49jason_ukfsnHad you posted a note about if on the list I would not have had any problem. My problem was that what I received was spam and that is different.

13:53.14murbmurble-gllugwebacrhive18032003CE@yuri.org.uk i wonder if i'll get any spam.
13:53.34murbyet another good reason not to have web logging, if you ask me which you didn't.
13:54.16nasratmurb: should that not be archive???]
13:54.50murbnasrat: probably.
13:54.56Davilionwhy not just write something that automagically munges email addresses in a harvester unfriendly fasion?
13:55.39jason_ukfsnany munging that can be human understandable can easily be scripted away by a spammer. :)
13:59.28highburymy email address, and a whole lives worth of postings are up there on the internet, I don't really care
14:00.26highburyI prefer that we do have web logging, so I can come back and taunt you, if you say something stupid.
14:00.55Davilionibot lart stupid no brained collegues
14:02.53highburyjason_ukfsn: looking at the *SPAM*, Its not as bad as I was thinking. He puts his real email address, he doesn't hide who its being sent too.
14:07.34jason_ukfsnhighbury most of the spam I receive can be identified - that is not the point. The point is that it is abusive to send it in the first place.
14:09.45highburyThe majority of the spam I receive can't be linked easily back to sender, so I tend to differentiate this email from the stuff I normally see.
14:10.46highburyI guess, I needd to look up difference between spam and junk mail.
14:13.20murbspam is email i didn't ask for that annoys me.
14:13.32murbyes it is subjective.
14:14.40highburyty murb
14:15.42jason_ukfsnspam is I feel best defined using the two terms UCE (unsolicited Commercial Email
14:16.01jason_ukfsnspam is I feel best defined using the two terms UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) and UBE (Unsolicited Bulk Email). The message I received clearly sits in the former.
14:16.48jason_ukfsnnote that I do not hold these two terms to be sufficient to completely cover the issue of spam - or indeed all email spam but they are sufficient as a yardstick against email
14:16.57highburyhmmm, I like the terms/differentiation, where are they defined?
14:17.24murbjason: i can get a spam from a polition, that isn't commericial, but is still spam.
14:17.27highburysounds better than my spam vs junk mail
14:19.56eye69Ok, final CV at http://upcore.net/cv/
14:19.58murbs/now/recentlyu/
14:20.09eye69Opinions are welcome.
14:20.11murboh and i'm suddely getting spam to my work address :(
14:20.16murbwhich i never published :(
14:20.23murbso someone must have given it out :(
14:20.50jason_ukfsnmurb do you mean politician? If so I believe that to fall within the commercial id as they are seeking to gain from you. Not all gain is financial. It's not a perfect classification though.
14:21.15jason_ukfsnmurb - has your boss been financing the business by selling staff email addresses again? ;)
14:22.56jason_ukfsnwhats wrong Clyphox_work?
14:23.33Tarragoneye69: You missed off your first name
14:24.00eye69Tarragon: Huh?
14:24.10TarragonLief?
14:24.37murbi really really hate people phoning up trying to sell me stuff.
14:24.49eye69Tarragon: My first name is Magnus :)
14:25.01Clyphox_workjason_ukfsn, can't send email from one of my customers mail server because uk2's dns is going weird..

14:26.08jason_ukfsnmurb - put them on hold.
14:27.51highburyinteresting backup discussion on slashdot, referring to a statement Linus said in 2001, that dump was fundamentally broken on Linux
14:28.02Clyphox_workmurb - try selling them something  :-) BOFH style
14:28.51murbHello, we are a small it company from just outside Watford uknot: is that north of Watford or south of watford?

14:34.04dank_workUp on the Cressex Industrial Estate somewhere
14:34.22murbi suspect the falcon if it is the pub i think it is.
14:34.33dank_workThe Falcon is the Wetherspoons pub in the centre
14:34.52dank_workOpposite O'Neills, and near to McDonalds.
14:36.39dank_workIs that the one you were thinking of?

15:47.45murbthen 18 quid for a return to stansted, and you're sorted.
15:47.53Huhnlol, good plan
15:48.00murb(unless national express have put up their prices again?)
15:48.07dank_workSounds about right. Possibly
15:49.33murbwe need a random european wide announce mailing list for pissups near cheap airports.
15:49.56Huhnsounds like a plan ;)
15:50.10jensonstansted is about 40 mins drive from mine

15:51.58murb(yes i have broken scrolling)
15:52.07dank_workWho am I being confused with?
15:52.17murbdank_work in another channel.
15:52.19dank_workAh :)
15:52.22dank_workWell, it's the same me
15:52.39murbbut different other people. forinstance it might not be wise to start seeing fnords.
15:52.53dank_workTrue
15:54.05dank_fnordNow you can't confuse me with myself
15:54.25jensonyeesh how confusing
15:54.52dank_fnordWell, I'm not confused with myself
15:54.58cupIf I have a string (in php) with a whole load of php commands in the string, can I execute this string?
15:55.00dank_fnordI'm just doing this for murb
15:55.06dank_fnordcup: Yes
15:55.11cuphow?
15:55.15dank_fnordIIRC, it's the exec() function
15:55.42dank_fnordSpudULike: It might be, but you're not coming to the pub tonight
15:57.24dpashdank_fnord: why are you in a fnord?
15:57.43dank_fnorddpash: So as not to confuse murb
15:57.51jensonbecause murb  was confused dpash so dank_fnord went in the fnord lol
15:58.05dpashmurb is easily confused
15:58.27jensonlol dank_fnord ty
15:58.32murbdpash: I'm running irc on a high latancy low bandwith link in screen it is easy to be confused.
15:58.49murbespecally when you have the same person on multiple unrelated irc channels
15:58.51dpashmurb: I know how you feel, but I don't get confused by dank_work
15:59.08dpashmurb: how high is high?
15:59.38murbhow long does it take for my bits to do a moon bounce?
15:59.49dpasher yeah

16:00.51murband dropped on the floor.
16:00.56murband retransmitted.
16:01.09dpashmurb: can we have a ping from terminal to irc client please?
16:01.25dank_fnordmurb: But are you going to the moon? Surely you'd be going to a satellite?
16:01.36cupdank_fnord: doesn't exec run like commands on the system, not php specific commands?
16:01.49dank_fnordErr...might do.
16:01.56dpashphp bah
16:01.59dank_fnordI don't have my PHP code, or a PHP manual handy
16:02.05dank_fnordI could look it up at home
16:02.13dank_fnordAhh.
16:02.17dpashwhat about php.net
16:02.18dank_fnordeval() is your friend, I think
16:03.49murbdank: moon bounce is a more intesrting mode of communication, although meterior scatter might be more fun, for values of fun that requir ehigh speed machine RTTY
16:04.02dank_fnordyeah
16:04.10dpashmurb: so what is your latency
16:04.21dank_fnord*murb
16:04.22dank_fnord:-)
16:04.36dpashdank_fnord: I don't think that is the high latency link
16:04.54dank_fnordHence the smiley
16:05.02Clyphox(its for the boss honest)
16:05.02dpashAIUI the high-latency is between murb and murb's irc lcient

17:13.35dpashhighbury: argos if you want to freeze and have the thing fall apart
17:16.06highburymost people don't look after their tents, so they tend to fall apart after half a dozen uses, cheap ones have their place
17:16.48highburyof course, I wouln't stint on a decent sleeping bag

17:17.23murbstop agreeing.

17:19.33TarragonIf you are camping invest in a space blanket (Thin foil sheet) and sleep on top of it. They do make a difference
17:20.19murbI'm not camping, i *hope* !!!
17:20.39murband invest implies spend money, and money should only be spend on beer.
17:20.56murbeverything else unless it is in the search of such liquid is wasted.
17:20.59Huhnmurb: make some more comments on well fed chicken and you will be camping ;))
