| 00:10.13 | Leeds | morning |
| 00:10.29 | rhowe | Bad Linux |
| 00:10.41 | Leeds | what did Linux do to you? |
| 00:10.59 | rhowe | I was running mkisofs and it starved the NFS client of data |
| 00:11.16 | rhowe | Which meant that the ISO image I was burning over NFS on the other box started stalling on read()s |
| 00:11.21 | rhowe | Luckily I had burnfree on |
| 00:11.26 | Leeds | oops |
| 00:11.53 | rhowe | Which would make it 0810 on a Saturday too |
| 00:12.22 | Leeds | do you have a particular reason for being awake so early? |
| 00:12.31 | rhowe | Yeah, she's called Jia |
| 00:12.48 | rhowe | Although she fancies a lie-in as well, but I've said no :P |
| 00:13.08 | Leeds | ah |
| 00:13.16 | rhowe | So I told her 1030 at Kings X |
| 00:15.38 | Leeds | well, 1030 at kings X isn't amazingly uncivilised |
| 00:16.44 | rhowe | I didn't think so |
| 00:16.59 | rhowe | Since she travels from Walthamstow, it's about 40mins max. from her door |
| 00:17.20 | Leeds | now, see, I don't speak French... or I don't claim to... so it's nice that I can actually understand an email like: |
| 00:17.22 | rhowe | and I travel from London Bridge, which takes me about 30-40mins to get to, plus 10-15 on the tube |
| 00:17.24 | Leeds | Hello |
| 00:17.25 | Leeds | Il a fait beau à Genève. L'ambiance est bonne. A demain |
| 00:17.25 | Leeds | Patricia |
| 00:17.34 | rhowe | She's happy |
| 00:17.39 | Leeds | so no need to be awake before 9 then :-) |
| 00:17.52 | rhowe | heh, I plan to have breakfast and a shower :P |
| 00:18.25 | Leeds | breakfast, 10-15 minutes... shower/dressing, 10-15 minutes... out the house at 0930 |
| 00:19.11 | rhowe | Transferring lots of clothes from floor to wardrobe (they're clean) another 10mins or so |
| 00:19.11 | Leeds | woo! A torrent I've had running on and off for *weeks* has 33 minutes to go |
| 00:19.28 | rhowe | heh, bet there are no seeders left :P |
| 00:19.30 | Leeds | wardrobes are overrated |
| 00:19.32 | rhowe | And you get stuck at 99% |
| 00:19.50 | Leeds | no seeds, but 2 distributed copies, and I'm at 99.7% already |
| 00:20.02 | rhowe | Ah OK :) |
| 00:21.08 | Leeds | it stuck at 93.8% yesterday during the day - appears to have jumped on somewhat overnight :-) |
| 00:23.22 | Leeds | now, I'm wondering when the right time will be to get annoying that the BBC can't tell the difference between "UK IP address" and "license payer" |
| 00:25.17 | rhowe | heh, they forbid access to certain things because you're not on a UK address? |
| 00:26.00 | Leeds | yup |
| 00:26.22 | rhowe | Install an authenticated proxy server on a box in the UK :) |
| 00:26.44 | Leeds | I can do some nasty proxying if needed, at the moment, but it would be nice to be able to say "I'm a license payer, but not physically located in the UK right now - give me access" |
| 00:27.19 | rhowe | It would, but it's certainly easier for the BBC to just filter on IP address :P |
| 00:28.03 | Leeds | well it would be easier for me to say "just because I happen to own a TV in the UK shouldn't mean I pay a fee if I can't access the services" |
| 00:28.14 | JAV | Internet with frontiers, great! |
| 00:29.25 | Leeds | JAV: I don't object in principle to limiting it - the whole point is that the BBC is paid for by (effectively) a tax, and they seem to have internalised the idea that they therefore shouldn't be trying to sell their content to people who've already paid for it |

| 00:45.37 | Leeds | morning Cope |
| 00:46.25 | Leeds | and... that torrent is done! |

| 00:49.46 | Leeds | have fun tomorrow |
| 00:50.59 | JAV | night rhowe |
| 00:51.39 | Cope | any idea how to get gpdf to look less shit? |
| 00:52.32 | JAV | funny spam tonight --> "Curso Multimedia de Chino Mandarin" and in spanish! |
| 00:53.28 | Leeds | Cope: use something else? |
| 00:55.20 | Cope | we've already established on the list that apart from interface, there is nothing else |
| 00:56.03 | Leeds | xpdf no good? |
| 00:56.29 | Leeds | or you could (possibly) just use acroread, of course |
| 01:06.02 | Cope | xpdf == gpdf isn't it? |
| 01:06.21 | Cope | engine-wise |
| 01:06.21 | Leeds | not as far as I know... |
| 01:06.31 | Cope | oh ok, I'll try it |
| 01:06.33 | Leeds | maybe a branch |
| 01:09.26 | Cope | ooh, it is better |
| 01:09.32 | JAV | really? |
| 01:11.53 | Cope | yeah |
| 01:11.53 | JAV | I think It is faster, but gpdf renders better |
| 01:12.02 | Cope | not in this specific case |
| 01:12.08 | JAV | acroread is the best |
| 01:12.25 | Cope | i have a doc I wanted to read, gpdf was so nasty to read I converted it using ps2text |
| 01:22.30 | Leeds | pdftohtml is better |
| 01:24.06 | JAV | $ apt-cache search pdftohtml |
| 01:24.07 | Cope | acroread is good, I agree (having just obtained it) |
| 01:24.07 | JAV | pdftohtml - Translates pdf documents into html format |
| 01:24.20 | Cope | JAV: i did that last night |
| 01:24.53 | Leeds | it does a pretty good job of translating documents |
| 01:24.55 | Cope | ah! |
| 01:25.03 | Cope | I got the name sligtly wrong |
| 01:25.05 | Cope | pdf2 |
| 01:25.06 | Cope | gah |
| 01:25.30 | Leeds | pdf2html is a different thing |
| 01:26.14 | Cope | yes |
| 01:29.18 | Leeds | pdftohtml *is* the xpdf engine, but with an html frontend rather than motif |
| 01:30.17 | Cope | i see |
| 01:35.34 | JAV | interesting, it works quite well |
| 02:30.03 | JAV | me too |

| 09:04.53 | Leeds | eye69 not useful either :-) |
| 09:05.04 | eye69 | What?! |
| 09:05.09 | Leeds | oh, and that Lost is a spectacularly inappropriate thing to show on a plane |
| 09:05.36 | eye69 | Did they show that? |
| 09:05.47 | Leeds | eye69: they did/do on Virgin |
| 09:06.02 | eye69 | The complete idiot that decided to show that should be shot. |
| 09:06.07 | Leeds | I just bought a semi-dodgy DVD set of it |
| 09:06.37 | Cope | what is 'lost'? |
| 09:06.57 | eye69 | Cope: Some series about people on an island after a plane crash, I believe. |
| 09:07.02 | eye69 | I've never seen it myself. |
| 09:07.21 | Cope | oh! |
| 09:07.27 | Leeds | I've only seen the first episode (or the first half of the two-part opening episode) |

| 15:53.04 | Leeds | Hong Kong != China |

| 16:02.46 | Leeds | wrong way round! |
| 16:02.49 | Leeds | ibot l10n |
| 16:02.50 | ibot | l10n is probably an abbreviation for localisation, which is a long word used a lot in some circles, so it's shortened by effectively saying "L, then 10 more letters, then N", get it? |

| 23:11.06 | wethrin | Not that I'm that bothered, really - the only time I'd need it is if the machine crashed, in which case it'd be power cycled first |
| 23:11.11 | wethrin | Sparc |
| 23:11.26 | rhowe | Oh well... |
| 23:11.36 | rhowe | CXZoZog (max 60 seconds) for system process `vnlru' to stop...stopped |
| 23:11.45 | wethrin | heh |
| 23:11.45 | rhowe | That's the first line that appears in the serial console when I do a reboot |
| 23:11.50 | wethrin | you're using FreeBSD/Alpha? |
| 23:11.52 | rhowe | I don't know what CXZoZog is :P |
| 23:11.53 | rhowe | Yeah |
| 23:11.56 | wethrin | probably nonsense |
| 23:12.07 | rhowe | FreeBSD/alpha SRM disk boot, Revision 1.0 |
| 23:12.24 | rhowe | FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE #0: Wed May 26 10:04:15 GMT 2004 |
| 23:12.34 | rhowe | Should really upgrade it to 4.11 |
| 23:12.47 | wethrin | If 4.10 works... |
| 23:13.00 | rhowe | 4.11 should too, but I just haven't read up enough on how to upgrade :P |
| 23:13.10 | wethrin | Stick CD in; run an upgrade :) |
| 23:13.18 | wethrin | Yes, but if it ain't broke |
| 23:13.27 | rhowe | I meant an in-place upgrade without media |
| 23:13.52 | rhowe | It talks about using /stand/sysinstall, which is fine, but it also says that you shouldn't use the 4.10 sysinstall to install 4.11 |
| 23:14.02 | rhowe | But I haven't found any clues on how you go about upgrading sysinstall :P |
| 23:14.20 | rhowe | My guess would be something like "download magic tarball and tar xzvf" |
| 23:14.41 | rhowe | Aug 28 00:14:23 youju /kernel: vinum: home.p1 is faulty |
| 23:14.43 | rhowe | Why?!! |
| 23:15.03 | wethrin | Because you haven't initialised it yet? |
| 23:15.17 | wethrin | What happens if you run 'vinum l'? |
| 23:15.33 | rhowe | hang on.. |
| 23:15.40 | rhowe | Just checking the disk works |
| 23:15.55 | rhowe | OK, I changed the disklabel to 4.3BSD and newfs is running just fine |
| 23:16.08 | wethrin | right |
| 23:16.08 | rhowe | /dev/da2e 8.3G 2.0K 7.7G 0% /mnt |
| 23:16.38 | wethrin | So the disk is fine. To create a mirror, you basically need to initialise one of the disks, and then mirror onto the other one |
| 23:16.42 | rhowe | D topdrive State: up Device /dev/da1e Avail: 0/8678 MB (0%) |
| 23:16.45 | rhowe | D bottomdrive State: up Device /dev/da2e Avail: 0/8678 MB (0%) |

| 23:16.52 | rhowe | P home.p1 C State: faulty Subdisks: 1 Size: 8678 MB |
| 23:16.57 | wethrin | Right. |
| 23:16.59 | wethrin | 'init home.p1' |
| 23:17.02 | wethrin | Sorry, no |
| 23:17.02 | rhowe | oh :) |
| 23:17.08 | wethrin | 'start home.p1' |
| 23:17.16 | rhowe | Aug 28 00:17:02 youju /kernel: vinum: home.p1.s0 is reviving, not up |
| 23:17.28 | rhowe | let me newfs /dev/vinum/home |
| 23:17.46 | rhowe | (remembering -v ) |
| 23:17.48 | wethrin | :) |
| 23:17.58 | rhowe | that one had me scratching my head for a while |
| 23:18.30 | wethrin | You don't need it in FreeBSD 5 |
| 23:18.43 | wethrin | so what does 'vinum lp' and 'vinum ls' give you? |
| 23:18.45 | rhowe | Which means that you find instructions which have it and which don't |
| 23:18.52 | wethrin | heh |
| 23:18.55 | rhowe | which is downright confusing! |
| 23:19.06 | rhowe | S home.p0.s0 State: up PO: 0 B Size: 8678 MB |
| 23:19.06 | rhowe | S home.p1.s0 State: R 4% PO: 0 B Size: 8678 MB |
| 23:19.16 | rhowe | Does that mean it's 4% through mirroring p0 onto p1? |
| 23:19.19 | wethrin | Yes |
| 23:19.26 | rhowe | I guess so.. the lights are solid on |
| 23:19.34 | wethrin | When it gets to 100%, you'll get a kernel message saying that it'sup |
| 23:19.40 | rhowe | 6% :) |
| 23:19.45 | rhowe | Cool :-D |
| 23:19.53 | rhowe | Now all I need to do is configure exim, courier and fetchmail |
| 23:19.58 | rhowe | and bind |
| 23:20.12 | rhowe | then I can use this machine as a desktop and mail can run on a real machine |
| 23:21.11 | wethrin | hurrah |
| 23:21.46 | rhowe | Once it's all configured, I'll stick >128MB RAM into it as well |
| 23:21.53 | wethrin | arrrr! |
| 23:22.44 | rhowe | Wonder how much you can stick in one of these.. I guess maybe 1.5G ((256*2)*3) |
| 23:23.00 | wethrin | mebbe |
| 23:23.03 | wethrin | Google :) |
| 23:23.10 | wethrin | What Alpha do you have? |
| 23:24.48 | rhowe | 500Au |
| 23:24.54 | rhowe | Information is somewhat sketchy |
| 23:25.15 | rhowe | But it takes registered PC100 SDRAM DIMMs, in pairs. Probably ECC |
| 23:25.36 | wethrin | ~google digital alpha 500au maximum memory |
| 23:31.00 | rhowe | heh, first hit says 1.5G like I thought |
| 23:31.48 | wethrin | right |
| 23:31.51 | rhowe | woo, 51% |
| 23:33.03 | wethrin | hurrah |
| 23:33.03 | rhowe | And yeah, ECC |
| 23:33.07 | wethrin | :) |
| 23:33.27 | rhowe | hm, getmemorynow.com is offerring PC66 |
| 23:39.30 | wethrin | Not so good |
