10:37.46 | resuDaed | any (ultra)sparc users in here this morning? |
10:39.26 | gregj | some |
10:39.29 | gregj | but linux on it |
10:41.49 | resuDaed | I am attempting to put oBSD in it |
10:42.49 | resuDaed | or at least have done, but cannot get it to boot from hdd |
10:43.22 | gregj | oh, I had problems to get it boot from CD :-) |
10:43.30 | gregj | had to read manual on sun's site |
10:43.39 | gregj | perhaps you should look for it too |
10:43.47 | resuDaed | I figured that out (boot cdrom :-) |
10:43.54 | gregj | ;] |
10:43.57 | resuDaed | but this is my first time with openboot |
10:44.29 | resuDaed | show-devs lists waht I think is my hdd as ..../disk |
10:44.44 | resuDaed | so I type setenv boot-dev disk |
10:44.56 | resuDaed | then setenv boot-file bsd |
10:45.10 | gregj | I really have no idea about obsd on sparc |
10:45.11 | gregj | :-) |
10:45.17 | resuDaed | boot, and I get ... "Can't open boot device" |
10:45.25 | gregj | I tend not to use obsd overall, because it's rather slowish |
10:45.27 | resuDaed | I am not getting as far as the OpenBSD part |
10:45.42 | resuDaed | (although I have installed it and know it resides on the hdd) |
10:45.43 | gregj | yes, but it's sparc specific |
10:45.51 | gregj | for linux there is silo |
10:45.59 | gregj | and this boots everythin fine |
10:48.03 | resuDaed | I am tempted to install debian on it, but tbh I just want it to work |
10:48.21 | gregj | what kinda sparc is it |
10:48.31 | resuDaed | ultra5 (270) |
10:50.02 | resuDaed | I am awaiting arrival of an SS10 dually which I shall be setting up with openbsd to run as a router |
10:51.38 | eye69 | Hi resu |

12:48.00 | George | wethrin! |
12:48.21 | wethrin | George! |
12:49.38 | George | I've just been asked if I have no life |
12:49.45 | George | some people really are naive |
12:49.47 | wethrin | Why would people need to ask that? |
12:50.28 | George | wethrin: flooble. |
12:50.31 | wethrin | Wooble |
12:50.33 | George | :) |
12:51.05 | George | on a sunday?! |
12:51.14 | wethrin | They may have arrived Friday or yesterday |
12:51.35 | George | your fault for hiding under a rock then |
12:52.36 | George | wethrin: my hard disks should be arriving tomorrow |
12:53.02 | wethrin | Hurrah? |
12:53.05 | George | heh |
12:53.11 | George | only 5x9.1GB SCA |
12:53.14 | wethrin | Grrr. My trackpad's suddenly stopped working again |
12:53.15 | wethrin | Ahh. Those ones |
12:53.27 | George | trackpads suck |
12:53.39 | wethrin | I prefer them to the nipple-mice |
12:53.49 | George | true |
12:53.55 | George | the nipples just suck |
12:54.03 | wethrin | Yes. Awful to use |
12:54.07 | George | :) |
12:54.27 | wethrin | It's odd, though. It just suddenly seized up. And I have no idea why |
12:54.38 | George | "huff" on it |
12:54.43 | George | that normally does the trick |
12:54.52 | wethrin | Nope |
12:55.02 | George | hrmm |
12:55.06 | George | get the sledgehammer out |
12:55.13 | wethrin | Heh |
12:55.34 | George | it's called "tactical computing" |
12:55.45 | wethrin | Ah. That fixed it - turn computer to sleep and back on again |
12:56.05 | George | lol |
12:56.16 | wethrin | Computers are hateful things :) |
12:56.40 | George | nah |
12:56.41 | George | they just suck |
12:57.01 | wethrin | Same difference |
12:57.44 | George | :) |
13:01.05 | George | because you're odd |
13:01.35 | wethrin | yup |
13:04.09 | murb | anyone want 2 coach tickets valid from london to stansted? |
13:06.03 | wethrin | Why didnt' you use them? |
13:08.58 | murb | 'cos i got a lift from HW. |
13:10.17 | wethrin | Ahh |
13:10.59 | wethrin | Grr. How long can sourceforge's list server be broken? |
13:13.22 | George | you mean it's worked before? |
13:16.07 | wethrin | Well, I just want to list my other Sourceforge subscriptions |
13:16.24 | murb | sourcefarce |
13:16.28 | wethrin | yes |
13:16.41 | murb | .net |
13:16.57 | wethrin | DOTNET |
13:19.21 | gregj | .niet |
13:19.43 | gregj | the russian comes handy ;) |
13:20.07 | wethrin | :) |
13:20.11 | wethrin | .not? |
13:20.14 | gregj | yep |
13:20.20 | wethrin | :) |
13:20.28 | gregj | but it sounds so much better in russian, don't you think ? |
13:20.39 | wethrin | da |
13:20.45 | wethrin | GAH. I JUST WANT TO UNSUBSCRIBE! |
13:21.36 | gregj | spam 'em |
13:21.58 | gregj | if list server unsubscription doesn't work, I am doing mail <somemessage in a loop for two hours |
13:22.05 | gregj | they do unsubscribe me automaticaly than |
13:22.06 | gregj | :-) |
13:22.12 | gregj | I did that twice already |
13:22.21 | gregj | because PLD (linux distro) list wasn't quite listeing to me |
13:22.34 | wethrin | Heh |
13:28.59 | murb | can';t you just bounce messages? |
13:29.05 | murb | that should atleast get delivery turned off. |
13:29.12 | murb | although they'll probably still spam you. |
13:29.47 | murb | I managed to get subscribed to a BUPA list by asking for a quote, with the do not contact me option. Then when i was on holiday they emailed me to ask if they could contact me, and then assumed they could when they got no reply... |
13:30.38 | wethrin | oops |
13:30.52 | George | gregj: akademy? |
13:35.43 | gregj | wha |

13:41.39 | wethrin | Ooh |
13:41.47 | wethrin | KDE conference being aKademy? |
13:41.59 | gregj | but I personaly like to know at least language a bit before I go to some country |
13:42.20 | gregj | maybe that's why I was traveling only to .sk, .cz, .uk and .ca now |
13:42.20 | gregj | ;) |
13:42.23 | gregj | yep |
13:42.38 | George | gregj: yeah, I was just wondering if you were going :P |
13:42.41 | gregj | http://conference2005.kde.org/ |
13:42.55 | gregj | George: yes, I am spamming the list, and I am on the list of folks that are going there |
13:43.04 | George | :) |
13:43.17 | gregj | http://wiki.linux-malaga.org/index.php?title=Arrivals |
13:43.24 | George | yeah, I'm on that list too |
13:43.25 | gregj | in case you wonder which plane to hijack |

13:43.31 | George | gregj: |
13:43.32 | George | 13:53 < George> coolo: I see I have your company in the shuttle service from the airport to the residence on friday |
13:43.35 | George | 13:53 * coolo is so damn thrilled |
13:44.45 | gregj | hehe |
13:44.53 | gregj | I do arrive around midnight on 25th, so no shuttle |
13:45.06 | gregj | I hope some organizer dude will mock about and bring me to the place :-) |
13:45.12 | gregj | otherwise I am lost and scared :P |
13:45.23 | wethrin | heh |
13:45.54 | gregj | but there was no other flight, and I don't like to stay in london just for overnight |
13:47.02 | George | lol |
13:47.25 | George | gregj: where are you flying from? |
13:47.30 | gregj | Cracow |
13:47.34 | gregj | to Gatwick |
13:47.41 | gregj | than 4 hours at the airport, and to Malaga |
13:47.56 | gregj | I'll stay longer in London on me way back |
13:48.14 | George | :) |
13:48.17 | George | when are you departing? |
13:48.36 | wethrin | When're you in London again? |
13:48.41 | George | hrmm, shower time |
13:48.42 | gregj | on 5th |
13:49.17 | wethrin | until? |
13:49.47 | gregj | 6th ? |
13:50.00 | gregj | I can miss me flight and stay bit longer |
13:50.11 | George | I'll be there from the 26th to the 5th |
13:50.19 | gregj | but that's only if I will have money to buy me new ticket |
13:51.08 | wethrin | gregj: Bah |
13:51.18 | wethrin | You should be in London on the 3rd and 4th |
13:51.32 | gregj | nope, you should stay in London longer :-) |
13:52.02 | George | I need to pack |
13:52.07 | George | and get myself onto a sane sleep timetable |
13:52.15 | wethrin | Pff. I have work to do! |
13:52.22 | George | I don't want a repeat of last year, where I missed 10 days of conference because I kept oversleeping :) |
13:53.06 | wethrin | heh |
13:53.09 | wethrin | you suck |
13:53.45 | gregj | yeah, at least I do it good :P |
13:53.53 | wethrin | Heh |
13:54.10 | gregj | pack, it's only sunday afternoon |
13:54.13 | wethrin | Mm |
13:54.23 | gregj | you have a lot of time dude |
13:56.14 | wethrin | I'm not packing |
14:04.51 | George | heh |
14:05.04 | George | a friend of mine just used the word "kool" to describe the kde conference |
14:05.11 | George | unintentionally |
14:05.25 | wethrin | GAHHH. DAMN DJBWARE! |
14:05.29 | wethrin | Well, ezmlm specifically |
14:09.00 | gregj | yes, this guy should be shot |
14:09.23 | wethrin | Hrm. I like qmail |
14:09.30 | wethrin | And in theory ezmlm is nice |
14:09.38 | wethrin | But it SHOULDN'T USE THE ENVELOPE FROM ADDRESS! |
14:09.39 | wethrin | Gah |
14:11.11 | wethrin | Hurrah for knowing SMTP |
14:40.09 | George | cheapest place to buy winxp? |
14:45.16 | wethrin | Spam |
14:45.45 | George | ok |
14:45.54 | George | anyone know of any simple video editing software for linux that's good? |
14:46.06 | George | I just want to be able to edit out adverts and things from videos captured from TV |
14:46.45 | JAV | George: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/08/18/linux_video.html |
14:46.47 | mozrat-se | George: It isn't released yet but Pitivi is supposed to be good |
14:51.36 | George | mozrat-se: ever used it? |
14:53.06 | mozrat-se | George: not yet |
14:54.22 | George | mozrat-se: hrmm |
14:54.41 | George | mozrat-se: I want it to be able to load a video file of any size... ie - can be massive |
14:54.48 | George | (where massive > 30GB) |
14:54.59 | George | and then cut out adverts :) |
14:59.09 | mozrat-se | Well - I dunno if it can handle it but you should check it out |
14:59.31 | mozrat-se | does anyone think people who sell home networking equipment generally make things too confusing |
14:59.34 | mozrat-se | for example |
14:59.45 | mozrat-se | 3 Apple Airport Extreme base stations in this office |
14:59.49 | mozrat-se | LAN and WAN ports |
15:00.22 | mozrat-se | why does a Wireless Access point have a WAN port? It's an ethernet bridge |
15:00.54 | gregj | can be |
15:00.58 | gregj | but usualy is router as well |
15:02.34 | mozrat-se | but this model has no configuration for WAN protocols - even ADSL |
15:02.50 | mozrat-se | so why confuse things by calling it a WAN potr |
15:02.52 | mozrat-se | port |
15:03.58 | gregj | wireless access network :P |
15:04.22 | mozrat-se | heh - I wonder if thats what they mean.. |
15:04.34 | mozrat-se | in that case I'm even more grumpy with it |
15:10.12 | Leeds | is it just me who |
15:10.21 | Leeds | who's not been able to get to gmail all day? |
15:15.33 | George | my powerbook just caught fire |
15:15.34 | George | how lovely. |
15:15.54 | Leeds | flames? smoke? |
15:17.50 | gregj | is purgatory the thing between heaven and hell in Catolic church ? |
15:17.51 | George | yes |
15:17.55 | George | Leeds: from the power supply |
15:18.02 | George | Leeds: melted plastic... |
15:18.28 | gregj | sue them :-) |
15:19.09 | murb | gregj: i read that as between heaven and the catholic church. |
15:19.55 | gregj | ;] |
15:20.05 | gregj | what did you smoke |

15:43.31 | mozrat-se | I bought a PSP last week |
15:44.14 | Leeds | mozrat-se: had dinner this evening with a family with two daughters - had a PSP each |
15:45.14 | Leeds | I'm quite happy with my DS |
15:46.28 | mozrat-se | Leeds - could you look to see how much PSP games are over there next time you are out? |
15:48.09 | Leeds | yup |
15:48.21 | Leeds | I know DS games go between about $220 and $290 |
15:48.59 | mozrat-se | that.... sounds like a lot? |
15:49.09 | mozrat-se | whats that in the Queens cash? |
15:49.10 | Leeds | ibot change 250 hkd to gbp |
15:49.28 | mozrat-se | ah! |
15:49.29 | mozrat-se | cool |
15:49.59 | mozrat-se | Would you send some over if I send you the money? |
15:50.04 | mozrat-se | or Paypal you or whatever |
15:50.16 | Leeds | sure |
15:50.27 | wethrin | What is it with gamesystem designers calling their products by already well-known acronyms? |
15:50.28 | mozrat-se | thanks :) |
15:53.08 | mozrat-se | oooo-arr, Captain Leeds |
15:53.31 | Leeds | problem is that - at least in some cases - the difference is almost all VAT |
15:54.21 | Leeds | given that there isn't any here :-) |
16:01.30 | mozrat-se | yes |
16:02.41 | Leeds | income tax here is either a flat 16%, or on a scale from 2% to 16% - which ever gives a *lower* total |
16:05.22 | mozrat-se | nice |
16:05.47 | mozrat-se | there's a concert here in Stockholm tonight |
16:05.52 | mozrat-se | Craig David played last night |
16:05.57 | mozrat-se | I wonder who is on tonight |
16:08.26 | Leeds | mozrat-se: can I suggest ballofdirt.com? Dunno who it was here who pointed me at it... |
16:10.49 | mozrat-se | thanks, i'll check it out |
16:12.26 | mozrat-se | ahh, thought it was a games site |
16:12.31 | mozrat-se | thats interesting |
16:12.43 | mozrat-se | I have some more travel coming up soon - I'll join up there |
16:13.17 | Leeds | <PROTECTED> |
16:16.06 | mozrat-se | I wish I'd seen this at the beginning of the year |
16:17.14 | Leeds | you can backdate it you know :-) |
16:17.15 | mozrat-se | I think you beat me for mileage leeds :) |

19:32.48 | wethrin | magpieRSS |
19:32.52 | gregj | akregator just works |
19:33.03 | wethrin | gregj: I want to embed as part of a webpage |
19:33.03 | gregj | for over year now |
19:33.03 | gregj | ;) |
19:33.08 | gregj | oh |
19:33.21 | gregj | you can write cgi in QT4 ;) |
19:38.40 | wethrin | Pfff. I don't have control over the webserver |
19:38.44 | wethrin | Only PHP available |
19:52.30 | gregj | how can I find out about the file and what process opened it or uses it atm ? |
19:52.38 | gregj | lsof does something else, lists fils of process |
19:52.42 | gregj | I need reverse search |
19:56.39 | wethrin | fuser? |
19:56.45 | gregj | ok |
19:56.58 | wethrin | maybe |
19:57.14 | George | Cope: it's a miracle! |
19:57.21 | George | Cope: that IDE controller you gave me appears to still work |
19:57.28 | George | Cope: it survived all that... malhandling :) |
20:09.01 | George | Disk Usage: 829.90gb/2112.72gb (39.28%) |
20:09.03 | George | mmmm |
20:09.22 | wethrin | Pff. My disk's fuller than that |
20:09.59 | George | lol |
20:10.07 | George | now to do some bad block tests on this disk |
20:10.17 | wethrin | And leave it running for 3 days? |
20:10.32 | George | yes |
20:10.37 | George | the disk is presumed defective |
20:10.42 | George | I need to test it |
20:11.29 | George | gregj: why? |
20:11.33 | George | gregj: I only have 9 :( |
20:11.34 | wethrin | George: Just send it back |
20:11.45 | George | wethrin: nah, if I can not send it back that'd be good for me |
20:12.07 | wethrin | Isn't it on RAID-5? |
20:12.19 | George | wethrin: it's not one of my disks |
20:12.21 | George | wethrin: so no |
20:12.26 | George | wethrin: it's my father's disk |
20:12.29 | wethrin | Oh right |
20:12.36 | wethrin | Doesn't he have backups? |
20:12.38 | George | wethrin: he bought a 300GB replacement... so I'm testing it to see if it's actually defective |
20:12.45 | George | wethrin: ...data is unimportante |
20:12.45 | wethrin | Mm. Fair enough |
20:12.48 | George | -e |
20:12.54 | gregj | George: well, just because of that :P |
20:12.56 | wethrin | oh? |
20:13.04 | George | wethrin: there's no data on it of any importance |
20:13.10 | George | wethrin: I just don't like sending stuff back if I can help it |
20:13.47 | wethrin | Lazy bastard |
20:13.49 | George | no |
20:13.51 | George | postage costs. |
20:14.14 | wethrin | Only £5 or so |
20:14.18 | George | yes |
20:14.19 | George | that's a lot. |
20:14.45 | wethrin | It's not |
20:14.48 | wethrin | You're a rich bastard |
20:15.54 | George | ... |
20:16.01 | George | only because I don't waste money unnecessarily |
20:17.04 | wethrin | Didn't you buy a 55" LCD displya? |
20:17.12 | George | no |
20:17.14 | George | dual 20" |
20:17.23 | George | and I *STILL* don't have enough screen space |
20:17.24 | George | fucker. |
20:23.14 | wethrin | Pfff |
20:23.16 | wethrin | You suck |
20:28.12 | George | my five disks should be arriving tomoz |
20:32.49 | wethrin | Uhhuh |
20:40.36 | George | why is the temperature reading fluctuating between 31 and 37 degrees for this hard disk. |
20:40.39 | George | how odd. |
20:44.57 | George | how do I do a badblock check? :) |
20:47.31 | George | hrmm. 49 million blocks to check. |
20:47.47 | wethrin | George: Under Linux, badblocks |
20:51.19 | George | i used e2fsck -c |
20:52.39 | wethrin | That just calls badblocks |
20:54.42 | George | yeah |
20:54.46 | George | but it also gets the blocksize right |
20:56.19 | George | hrmm, according to my calculations... about 40 minutes |
21:02.56 | wethrin | Eh. Blocksize is overrated |
21:06.53 | George | foo |
21:06.57 | George | you're overrated :) |
21:11.01 | wethrin | I am! |
21:12.58 | George | it seems hde is chucking about 50MB/s on average |
21:13.00 | George | or rather, 47 |
21:13.01 | George | '/win 29 |
21:13.03 | George | woops. |

21:42.28 | George | wethrin: fatso |
21:42.42 | wethrin | Thanks |
21:42.58 | George | done 34M blocks now |
21:43.00 | George | out of 49M |
21:44.55 | wethrin | heh |
21:53.51 | George | 40.6M out of 49.7M |
21:55.51 | George | load average: 4.78, 2.22, 1.83 |
21:55.51 | George | :( |
21:56.18 | wethrin | heh |
21:56.31 | George | somehow... |
21:56.38 | George | my hard disk access speed has dropped to 3MB/s |
21:56.43 | George | and my system has become fecking sluggish |
21:56.47 | George | something's going on. |
21:57.01 | George | ide: failed opcode was: unknown |
21:57.01 | George | hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } |

21:57.04 | wethrin | Oops |
21:57.04 | George | that would be it |
21:57.26 | wethrin | Indeed |
21:58.07 | George | is bad block checking independant of filesystem? |
21:58.17 | George | when it marks them as bad, are they permanently marked as fucked? |
22:00.08 | wethrin | Yes, I think |
22:01.05 | George | hrmm |
22:01.05 | George | ok |
22:01.12 | George | nice to know of your certainty :P |
22:02.54 | JAV | bad block is filesystem dependant, isn't it? |
22:03.18 | wethrin | Why should it be? |
22:03.22 | JAV | the marks are on the "fat" zone |
22:03.31 | George | filesystems have different block sizes? |
22:03.36 | wethrin | Yes |
22:03.51 | George | yes |
22:03.52 | George | I know |
22:04.02 | George | but wouldn't that make the bad blocks filesystem dependant? |
22:04.18 | JAV | until next format |
22:04.35 | George | erk |
22:04.45 | George | so if I were to format this disk again, the bad blocks would reappear? |
22:04.46 | George | hah |
22:05.07 | George | load average: 7.77, 7.30, 4.72 |
22:05.14 | JAV | i think it should be re-checked |
22:05.38 | JAV | i think :D |
22:05.54 | George | grumble |
22:06.53 | JAV | when you format it again do it fully, not the fast one |
22:07.15 | George | ok, apparently reformatting will lose the bad block list |
22:07.43 | wethrin | who from? |
22:09.26 | George | scan, I think |
22:10.38 | murb | haha |
22:10.46 | George | ? |
22:11.31 | wethrin | scam |
22:11.43 | George | scan are good imho |
22:11.48 | George | never had any trouble with them |
22:11.50 | wethrin | Even at returns? |
22:11.53 | George | yeah |
22:11.56 | George | returns were fine |
22:12.13 | George | I once bought a 5.1 speaker set... didn't like it so sent it back |
22:12.14 | George | no trouble. |
22:14.18 | George | nice |
22:14.26 | George | the drive is out of warranty according to maxtor. |
22:14.28 | George | BASTARD |
22:19.32 | wethrin | Oops |
22:21.51 | George | oh well |
22:21.53 | George | that's that |
22:21.57 | George | I'll just leave it as it is |
22:26.18 | wethrin | what size disk? |
22:26.21 | wethrin | Get a Seagate |
22:29.35 | resuDaed | evening |
22:30.32 | resuDaed | I have gdm installed on a remote box, but is there any way to run it without actually having X running? |
22:30.45 | resuDaed | (as in to listen for remote logins) |
22:31.17 | resuDaed | or can anyone supply/sell/exchage for beer a sparc keyboard & mouse |
22:33.51 | wethrin | You should be able to configure gdm to only listen on network ports |
22:34.54 | George | hrmm, I've been persuaded to write to apple telling them their quality control stinks |
22:38.27 | resuDaed | George : I could have told you that |
22:38.34 | George | yes, I know |
22:38.40 | George | but it nearly burnt my bed and house down! |
22:38.44 | George | I LOVE MY BED |

22:48.25 | George | where's laomao? |
22:48.29 | Cope | dude |
22:48.36 | Cope | don't you keep up on the news |
22:48.40 | George | no |
22:48.42 | Cope | we split up about 6 weeks ago |
22:48.44 | George | ibot: laomao |
22:48.44 | ibot | rumour has it, laomao is an old cat with a bad temper and sharp claws. Mrs Cope |
22:48.48 | George | hrmm |
22:48.49 | George | oh |
22:48.53 | George | what about wm? |
22:48.55 | George | ibot: wm |
22:48.55 | ibot | i heard wm is an abbreviation for "window manager", but some people think it means "wmaker" (window maker), which is just one WM. |
22:49.03 | George | or whatever his name is? |
22:49.15 | Cope | ibot no laomao is the artist formely known as Mrs Cope |
22:49.15 | ibot | Cope: okay |
22:49.21 | Cope | ibot William |
22:49.21 | ibot | well, william is probably either eating, or sleeping, or having his nappy changed, or bad at typing, or see 'creature'. Wm, or approximately 18.2102 lb |
22:49.32 | George | ibot: creature |
22:49.41 | George | hurry up. |
22:49.48 | Cope | ibot no William is the son of Cope... sadly unlikely ever to be seen again, in China. |
22:49.48 | ibot | okay, Cope |
22:49.53 | George | Cope: in any case, get out of my bed :) |
22:50.09 | George | Cope: oh :( |
22:50.21 | Cope | thanks |
22:51.10 | Cope | ibot no laomao is the artist formerly known as Mrs Cope, but no longer so :-( |
22:51.10 | ibot | okay, Cope |
22:51.17 | Cope | ibot laomao |
22:51.17 | ibot | [laomao] the artist formerly known as Mrs Cope, but no longer so :-( |
22:51.23 | Cope | ibot william |
22:51.23 | ibot | i heard william is the son of Cope... sadly unlikely ever to be seen again, in China. |
22:52.04 | George | oh well |
22:52.13 | George | at least she didn't short circuit and nearly set fire to your beloved bed |
22:53.04 | Cope | I only had a camping mat in the corner of the server room |
22:53.24 | George | ? |
22:59.16 | Cope | | |

23:29.02 | George | so |
23:29.03 | George | ? |
23:29.37 | wethrin | I'm very scared that I'm starting to like CSS and that stuff |
23:30.29 | George | CSS is nice |
23:30.44 | wethrin | It was very scary, though. At least browsers are supporting it |
23:31.10 | George | :) |

23:42.27 | JAV | http://colt.cache.el-mundo.net/elmundodeporte/cajas/elmundo_portada/imagenes/2005/08/alonsin-ef.jpg |
23:45.23 | Leeds | still nothing even tunnelling through Texas |
23:45.41 | wethrin | Leeds: Maybe it doesn't want you to get your email |
23:47.29 | Leeds | I've deleted my cookies - it should be showing me a login screen |
23:47.36 | JAV | what ip does it resolve? |
23:50.01 | Leeds | okay, it's working from lynx |
23:51.30 | Leeds | no it doesn't - drops me back to the error page when I login |
23:52.17 | rhowe | Leeds: What do you expect for free? :P |
23:52.31 | Leeds | 216.239.57.18 |
23:53.12 | JAV | so the problem is in the server which holds your account |
23:53.54 | JAV | "sorry, but your mails were lost" :D |
23:55.06 | Leeds | very strange |
23:55.08 | JAV | a similar ip here (without "www") |
