10:57.14z00daxhumm... nice and quiet in here.... perfect for a lazy sunday afternoon
10:58.15wethrinIt's still morning!
10:58.51z00daxbut an ideal setting to drift into the lazy afternoon, in 2 min
10:59.29wethrinTrue
10:59.34wethrinI'm off to make breakfast
11:04.24AndrewBlackHi there - how can one get to create blogs on http://planet.gllug.org.uk/
11:05.01wethrinCreate a blog somewhere else with an rss feed, and prod mozrat or Dean until it gets added
11:06.06AndrewBlackSo planet.gllugs doesnt host blogs.  Any suggestions where to create them
11:07.00z00daxfor eveyone who has no blog home, there is blogger. however, LJ has a fair few fans too
11:07.09wethrinlivejournal; blogspot; blogger
11:07.35wethrinOr set up your own - PHP/CGI scripts exist
11:07.41z00daxi wonder how long before google has blogs too
11:07.41wethrinOr even Python
11:07.53z00daxohh... humm a python blog, wethrin name one
11:07.59z00daxthe best one even
11:08.08wethrinpybloxsm (or something like that)
11:08.13wethrinIt's the only one I know of :)
11:08.34z00daxif its anything like the other java based bloxxsom(sp!) then i am not going anywhere near it
11:09.23wethrinHeh. I don't know if it does commmenting, though
11:10.05z00daxhttp://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBlogSoftware
11:12.24AndrewBlackDo people find commenting (other people commenting) useful or a pain in the arse.
11:13.20z00daxAndrewBlack: http://www.karan.org/blog/index.php/2005/06/15/p35
11:13.22ErwinDepends on who reads the blog and what you write in it. Certainly you need to have good anti-spam system in place.
11:14.03z00daxcomments are good, but you need to keep ( as Erwin said ) a good anti-spam process in place
11:14.12z00daxwhich is something that i need to do soon'ish
11:22.52wethrinUseful
11:23.55z00daxthe guys at php.net decided - lets publish a list too, then gave up after it cross'd the 2k mark
12:01.31rhoweFinland!

14:21.53boudiccasGeorge; is the piece at right angles to the bow to stop you getting bowcord lash on your wrist so that you don't need to wear a wristguard?
14:23.13Georgewhich bit?
14:23.41boudiccasthe piece at right angles with blue bits on it
14:23.48Georgethat's the stabiliser setup

16:20.19Leedsmorning all
16:21.39rhoweMorning Leeds
16:21.42rhoweLeeds: How goes?
16:21.57rhoweo.O
16:22.08rhowe(aka grub 1.93)
16:22.24rhoweWhat a mess...
16:22.25rhowe[rhowe@xiao] /usr/local/src/grub-1.93 $ ls|wc -l
16:22.25rhowe919
16:22.57LeedsLeeds just lost to Watford... (football - was watching it at an Irish pub)
16:23.16rhoweLeeds: Lordi won Eurovision, though :)
16:23.59Leedsrhowe: so I saw - I fell asleep during the voting... got about 3.5 hours sleep last night
16:24.02rhowecvs co ? :)
16:25.08Leedsthe problem is that there's - as far as I can see - no easy way to do that properly for the modular build
16:25.43rhowefor module in module1 module2 module3; do cvs co $module;done?
16:25.53Leedsalso, given that I expect to be using a driver from CVS, I thought I'd wait for the rest to be declared stable
16:26.25Leedsanyway, I also brought a falafel home from the takeaway place two doors down from the pub... this is in Wan Chai
16:26.57Leedsrhowe: I'm waiting, hopefully, for the r300 stuff to stabilise and get optimised, so that something newer than a 9250 can be used with free drivers
16:28.51Leedslatest I heard is that one of them is getting to the point of having a design which is usable as an accelerated desktop, but the hardware is going to cost $350
16:29.08LeedsUS$ :-(
16:30.03rhowehm, still, interesting that they're even talking of having gotten that far
16:34.04Leedshonestly, I think open hardware is a dead end
16:36.35mozratHi Leeds, rhowe
16:36.45mozratrhowe: Jordi were awesome :)
16:38.49Leedsmorning mozrat
16:44.15Georgemeh
16:47.29Georgemy archery coach thinks I'm a nutter
16:47.53wethrinYou are
16:48.14rhoweGeorge: (S)he has an interesting way of spelling "fool" :)
16:48.34Georgewell
16:48.43Georgehe reckons I shouldn't have gone about 36lbs on the draw weight
16:48.47Georgebecause I got 42lb limbs
16:48.59wethrinlightweight
16:50.58Georgewethrin: I'd like to see you pull back a set of 42lb limbs to full draw
16:51.21wethrinheh
16:51.53Georgemost people in my house at school can't do it
16:51.54Georgewell
16:51.58Georgethey found 34lbs hard
16:52.05Georgeso I'm assuming they'll find 42 hard :P
17:02.24Leedszzzzz
17:38.32z00daxboudiccas: i only setup at the time, i dont use munin regularly.
17:38.36z00daxmozrat: !
17:40.16mozratz00dax:

17:40.51mozratpretty good thanks
17:41.03mozratyourself?
17:41.08z00daxwet

18:04.41boudiccasz00dax; just wondering how to get the foldingathome plugin working?
18:05.57z00daxi didnt know there was a plugin
18:06.00z00daxurl ?
18:06.11boudiccasits in the plugin folder of munin
18:06.37z00daxaw man, i'll need to install it again then
18:06.43boudiccas/etc/munin/plugins/foldingathome
18:07.07boudiccasbut i don't know how to get it working in munin :(
18:07.26z00daxhave you tried their forums / lists ?

18:07.54boudiccasi've sent an email to their sourceforge mailing list to be subscribed but heard nothing back yet
18:08.18GeorgeDEATH
18:08.48z00daxGeorge: .... to the aliens ?
18:08.54GeorgeDEATH
18:09.08z00dax.... to *all* the aliens ?
18:11.56Georgeschool time.
18:11.57GeorgeDEATH
18:12.40boudiccasz00dax; it can also monitor the hard drive temperatures, and again I'd like to know how to get that working too
18:13.47z00daxi juse use snmp based monitors for that sort of stuff... and i use cacti + nagios for the actual admin end of things
18:15.14boudiccasi find with cacti i just get blue oblongs for everything, which isn't very useful ... i think its just telling me that I'm maxed out
18:15.40boudiccasnagios is probably overkill for just one machine
18:25.10z00daxthey do different things.. nagios and cacti
18:33.55rhoweYou can boot GRUB 2 via PXE by creating an image file in this way:
18:33.55rhowecat pxeboot.img core.img >pxegrub
18:33.59rhoweOh really?
18:34.10rhowe[rhowe@xiao] /usr/local/src/grub-1.93 $ find . -name core.img
18:34.11rhowe[rhowe@xiao] /usr/local/src/grub-1.93 $
18:34.44z00daxdoes grub2 have openfirmware support finally ?
18:36.57rhowez00dax: UltraSparc is down as "under development"
18:37.51rhowehmm.. it makes reference to using an ANSI terminal on PPC & UltraSparc, courtesy of OpenFirmware
18:56.39mozratI have a GRUB problem... my partition table is like this... http://pastebin.com/730006
18:56.48mozratwhen I boot I get GRUB error 18
18:57.05mozratwhich seems to be complaining that my boot partition is beyond the first n Gb of the disk
18:57.18rhowehm.. 10:15pm tonight.. Panorama programme about fingerprints
18:57.34rhowemozrat: How old's your BIOS?
18:58.26mozratrhowe: Not actually too sure. I don't think it is that old. It is a IBM T42
18:58.35mozratso in the past couple of years
18:58.53rhowemozrat: Should be fine - does grub require lba32 to be specifically enabled?
18:59.05mozratno idea
18:59.18rhowemozrat: Also, is grub installed in the MBR or in the beginning of a partition?
19:00.00mozratrhowe: in the MBR
19:01.09rhowemozrat: Hm.. dunno.. I've never used grub before
19:01.20mozratok, thanks anyway
19:01.27rhowemozrat: Still, I thought any half-recent BIOS could handle booting from most disk layouts
19:01.35mozratI would have thought so too
