| 00:00.13 | Cope | highbury, /etc/ethers was configured ages ago - everything works as it should; the only problem is that the netbsd nfs_boot process looks for an ip via bootp/dhcp before it mounts /etc/ and discovers that it needs a static ip |
| 00:00.55 | Cope | highbury, atm the dhcp server is off, so it all works; when the dhcp server is on, it doesn't, as I need to make some changes to the dhcp config. |
| 00:01.32 | Cope | either by re-subnetting, such that diskless clients have their own subnet; or by looking into ignoring mac addresses, or something |
| 00:04.21 | Cope | also if I used dhcp for the diskless clients, I could do away with bootparamd |
| 00:10.21 | Cope | right... sleeping time; |

| 06:36.11 | rhowe | I must have a 6th sense |
| 06:36.28 | rhowe | I got up at 7:15 and thought "I have to get the washing in" |
| 06:36.40 | rhowe | 10 minutes later, the skies opened |
| 06:37.51 | Leeds | it was drizzling as we arrived this morning, then 2 minutes later was an absolute storm... |

| 06:42.55 | rhowe | With the subheading "I'M IN FIRST CLASS" |
| 07:00.16 | Leeds | I really hope they don't allow people to use cell-phones on planes... |
| 07:15.24 | rhowe | They will, because they can make money from it |
| 07:15.29 | rhowe | Or at least, they think they can |
| 07:15.56 | rhowe | I hope they don't allow you to use them from your seat, and that they require the phones to be put on vibrate |
| 07:16.24 | rhowe | With on the spot fines for anyone whose phone goes off when the lights are dimmed for people to sleep |

| 07:17.58 | rhowe | mozrat: heh |
| 07:18.11 | rhowe | mozrat: Tell her the thunder's harmless. It's the lightening she should be scared of :) |
| 07:18.28 | rhowe | lightning, rather |
| 07:18.32 | mozrat | :) |
| 07:23.07 | murble | should be afraid of the rain, after all humans are water soluble. |

| 13:49.12 | pdr | what's a good blogging thingo? |
| 13:49.24 | pdr | currently looking at pyblosxom |
| 13:50.30 | mozrat | pdr, I asked myself that exact same question recently |
| 13:50.37 | mozrat | I was using blosxom since Christmas |
| 13:50.45 | mozrat | and then looked at pyblosxom last week |
| 13:51.07 | mozrat | but I'd recommend Serenpidity for both licence goodness and out of the box functionality |
| 13:51.39 | mozrat | *blosxom is great if you want to fiddle |
| 13:51.46 | pdr | pyblosxom seems pretty good out of the box |
| 14:00.11 | mozrat | pdr, Yeah, nothing wrong with it but you need to enable plugins to get functionality |
| 14:00.40 | mozrat | it's the classic "lean, nothing enabled by default, build you own" versus "bloated, everything enabled" argument |
| 14:00.55 | mozrat | blosxom is definitely the best example of the former |
| 14:01.16 | mozrat | I used it for ages happily |
| 14:01.31 | pdr | sounds exactly what i want |
| 14:01.35 | pdr | does it do pictures? |
| 14:02.07 | mozrat | With Blosxom you need to create the posts in a text file and get them on the server using FTP, SFTP or whichever method |
| 14:02.26 | mozrat | so if you upload your pictures and include them with <img> tags then yes, sure |
| 14:02.29 | pdr | sounds ideal |
| 14:02.47 | mozrat | http://www.beerandspeech.org for an example of a blosxom site that "someone" hasn't updated in ages |
| 14:02.55 | mozrat | *shuffles feet* |
| 14:02.58 | pdr | i want to create everything offline, and send it back via gprs! |
| 14:03.36 | mozrat | that'd do it |
| 14:04.00 | mozrat | basically the top line of the text file is the post header, everything else is content |
| 14:04.19 | mozrat | the time stamps are taken from the file system |
| 14:05.14 | mozrat | categories are created with the mkdir command :) |
| 14:05.26 | pdr | mozrat: that beerandspeech looks fine to me |
| 14:05.33 | mozrat | pdr, thanks |
| 14:05.51 | mozrat | thats the default template - I didn't do a lot to it |
| 14:06.16 | pdr | cool |
| 14:10.21 | pdr | i have pyblosxom up and running on my desktop at work - seems quite easy |
| 14:10.32 | pdr | now to get it on my server at home... |
| 14:13.38 | wethrin | GAH. I always manage to lose the cheap train tickets! |
| 14:13.58 | pdr | gotta book in advance! |
| 14:14.34 | wethrin | Yes. I never get around to it sufficiently |
| 14:15.39 | wethrin | Should I get into Kings X at 1701 or 1730? |
| 14:17.35 | pdr | either way, i can't meet for beer as i have to leaev at the very latest 5:30 |

| 15:42.24 | mozrat | oh, it does... just not from my server :( |
| 15:42.27 | mozrat | why would that be |
| 15:43.53 | rhowe | It does, but it doesn't do transparency |
| 15:43.58 | wethrin | MIME type foobarage? |
| 15:44.25 | mozrat | rhowe the images I'm trying to server are transparent... so IE just wouldn't show them at all? |
| 15:51.00 | rhowe | mozrat: It typically uses a solid colour as background |
| 15:51.07 | pdr | it doesn't show the transparent bits as transparent, just black |
| 15:51.08 | rhowe | See http://www.wreckage.org/contact.jsp for example |
| 15:51.28 | rhowe | Hm, actually I think I replaced the PNG with a GIF there |
| 15:51.54 | mozrat | rhowe... I'll change the files anyway - they definetely don't show in IE |
