| 01:27.14 | z00dax | gw280: that sounds like exercise |
| 01:27.28 | gw280 | z00dax: yeah, rode 15 miles :( |
| 01:27.32 | gw280 | z00dax: it was a BAD IDEA> |
| 01:27.39 | z00dax | dude what is wrong with you |
| 01:27.42 | gw280 | and riding a bike on the A41 when you're a spastic really isn't good |
| 01:27.45 | z00dax | no real geek ever does that sort of a thing |
| 01:28.13 | gw280 | z00dax: I was too cheap to pay the train fare to go to my friend's place, so I biked there instead |
| 01:28.34 | z00dax | and how long did this take you ? what was the fare you saved ? |
| 01:29.11 | gw280 | z00dax: 1 hour each way, and no idea |
| 01:49.22 | clive-h | in nodnol? |
| 01:49.37 | gw280 | clive-h: yes |
| 01:50.01 | clive-h | lots then |
| 01:50.12 | gw280 | clive-h: lots? |
| 01:50.20 | clive-h | it's 4 quid in zone 1 for a tube |
| 01:50.26 | gw280 | clive-h: it was mill hill -> radlett |
| 01:50.31 | gw280 | clive-h: 7.5 miles on a bike |
| 01:50.37 | clive-h | ahhh |
| 01:50.39 | gw280 | clive-h: I reckon I probably saved about 6 quid |
| 01:50.58 | clive-h | yes possibly |
| 01:51.06 | z00dax | for two hours of struggle ? and for loosing weight that is going to cost you WAY more than £6 to put back on.... |
| 01:51.15 | z00dax | are you sure you *saved* money ? |
| 01:51.19 | clive-h | i know where radlett is |
| 01:51.22 | gw280 | clive-h: thameslink, I'm in zone 4 and radlett is beyond zone 6 |
| 01:51.33 | clive-h | it is yes |
| 01:52.29 | clive-h | it's also an area where a bike would be more useful |
| 01:52.35 | gw280 | and it would have taken me an hour each way anyway on the train, because he lives a mile or two from the station which I'd have had to walk |
| 01:52.50 | clive-h | aye there's not much there |
| 01:53.09 | gw280 | soooo, bike it was :D |
| 01:53.21 | gw280 | it would have been faster if I hadn't been such an unhealthy bastard |
| 01:53.25 | gw280 | averaging 7.5 mph is a bit shit |
| 01:53.31 | clive-h | must work for ukerna |
| 01:53.52 | gw280 | ? |
| 01:54.09 | clive-h | okay i was wrong |
| 01:55.17 | clive-h | over a few hours 7.5mph is good |
| 01:56.16 | gw280 | well |
| 01:56.32 | gw280 | there was a two hour gap between the two 7.5 mile spurts :P |
| 01:56.52 | clive-h | lunch? |
| 01:57.16 | gw280 | well, I was cycling to meet a friend.. ;) |
| 01:57.21 | gw280 | so yes |
| 01:57.21 | gw280 | lunch |
| 01:57.24 | clive-h | ahhh |
| 01:57.28 | gw280 | and I mocked him for being pooled in cambridge |
| 01:57.29 | murb | 4 quid for a single tube journey?? ouch! |
| 01:57.40 | murb | it used to be 3.40 to get from zone1 to heathrow |
| 01:57.43 | gw280 | clive-h: that ";)" may have given the wrong impression... it's not a lady friend |
| 01:57.55 | clive-h | tis the current fare murb |
| 01:59.04 | clive-h | errm you're allowed to have friends of any gender, gw280 |
| 01:59.14 | gw280 | clive-h: WHAT? |
| 01:59.59 | z00dax | gw280: next time, just get a ab |
| 02:00.04 | z00dax | s/ ab/cab/ |
| 02:00.12 | z00dax | s/acab/a cab/ |
| 02:00.16 | clive-h | so not a lady friend, friends are friends |
| 02:00.22 | gw280 | return from mill hill broadway to radlett is £5.50 |
| 02:00.26 | gw280 | according to national rail |
| 02:00.32 | gw280 | and a single is £3.20 |
| 02:00.33 | z00dax | gw280 isnt allowed lady friends, he's married |
| 02:00.40 | gw280 | z00dax: sssshhhhhhh |
| 02:00.43 | clive-h | oh |
| 02:00.50 | murb | no he isn't :p |
| 02:00.55 | z00dax | did i say gw280 ? i meant murb |
| 02:00.59 | gw280 | z00dax: how did you know about that? |
| 02:01.13 | gw280 | oh, you didn't |
| 02:01.15 | gw280 | *phew* |
| 02:01.21 | gw280 | I thought there was some massive leak from Cambridge |
| 02:01.23 | murb | and i'm allowed all the friends i want. |
| 02:02.08 | clive-h | all you can eat? |
| 02:02.40 | murb | i think they've decided that sort of thing is still illegal in germany. |
| 02:03.12 | clive-h | oh thst's where you are now |
| 02:03.18 | clive-h | yes it is |
| 02:03.22 | murb | but did you know bier is not only permitted in german prisons, you get a daily allownce! |
| 02:03.36 | clive-h | blimey |
| 02:04.29 | clive-h | that's the place to knock the helmet off a policeperson? |
| 02:04.42 | clive-h | how much daily? |
| 02:13.34 | murb | it counts as lebensmittel atleast here in bayern, which is one of the reasons that germany is opposing the harminsation(read increase) in duty on alcholic beverages in the eu. |

| 11:00.17 | phearless | hi #gllug |
| 11:00.31 | phearless | anybody know why my HDs are called /dev/hde1 /dev/hdf1 /dev/hdg1 /dev/hdh1 ? |
| 11:00.39 | phearless | these are weird names, no? |
| 11:03.26 | tarragon | phearless: Are you using LVM? |
| 11:03.33 | phearless | yes |
| 11:03.50 | phearless | LVM seems to use 4 HDs as 1 partition |
| 11:03.55 | phearless | (not sure) |
| 11:04.15 | sabinef72 | morning all |
| 11:07.11 | SlayerXP | phearless: that's not weird |
| 11:07.34 | phearless | I can't find the command that would say that the 4 HDs are 1 partition |
| 11:07.37 | SlayerXP | wait til to get more than 26 scsi devices attached to a box |
| 11:07.43 | SlayerXP | 'lvs' |
| 11:07.46 | SlayerXP | or 'pvscan' |
| 11:08.02 | phearless | <PROTECTED> |
| 11:08.03 | phearless | <PROTECTED> |
| 11:08.14 | phearless | pvscan, right |
| 11:08.20 | phearless | so hd* = scsi ? |
| 11:08.38 | SlayerXP | no |
| 11:08.56 | SlayerXP | hd* implies either ide or a 2.4.x kernel and SATA |
| 11:09.37 | phearless | but I should see hda hdb etc? |
| 11:09.51 | phearless | it starts by hde, this is strange |
| 11:09.54 | SlayerXP | nope |
| 11:10.04 | tarragon | Not necessary. RH installer can do this. |
| 11:10.27 | SlayerXP | it _does_ mean you have more IDE controllers than are traditional in that box |
| 11:10.39 | phearless | okay thanks for the help |
| 11:10.54 | SlayerXP | or more ide channels, at any rate |
| 11:11.00 | phearless | I had some problems during the night, the FS was corrupted and read-only |
| 11:11.21 | phearless | I fscked the /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 |
| 11:11.24 | phearless | and now it is fixed |
| 11:11.33 | phearless | but can I know which hard-drive had a problem ? |
| 11:12.11 | SlayerXP | check your logs |

| 11:13.49 | phearless | I can see "hdf"... |
| 11:13.57 | phearless | it looks like the bad egg |
| 11:14.45 | phearless | I should use raid1 on the 4x250G HDs |
| 11:14.55 | phearless | I will get only 500G but it would be more secure |
| 11:18.33 | hali | phearless: tried running any smartctl tests on the drive |
| 11:19.50 | phearless | I do not seen anything in "WHEN_FAILED" |
| 11:20.47 | antiphase | Any impending doom indicators? |
| 11:21.42 | phearless | I do not understand what do you mean |
| 11:23.07 | phearless | do you mean any things that look like errors ? |
| 11:24.45 | hali | phearless: there is a tool called smartctl that can use the "smart" feature in IDE drives to check for errors |
| 11:25.09 | phearless | I just used : smartctl -a /dev/hdf |
| 11:25.17 | phearless | and looked for weird things |
| 11:25.24 | hali | ok |
| 11:26.07 | phearless | http://pastebin.com/851696 |
| 11:26.14 | phearless | if anybody want to see it :) |
| 11:29.20 | antiphase | It doesn't look terrible |
| 11:29.44 | phearless | I will change it and use raid1 |
| 11:29.45 | antiphase | I don't know if sector reallocation is transparent or would cause error like you saw though |
| 11:38.46 | tarragon | phearless: Never seen pastebin before. That is so useful. thanks. |

| 15:42.36 | dick_turpin | antiphase: You've never read my true sig then? |
| 15:42.37 | tarragon | I thought the "-- " was part of the four lines. The shorter the better. Yes this is not just internally, but limited to ten people that i am fed up of screaming at. |
| 15:43.58 | antiphase | Well as long as I don't get one :) |
| 15:44.49 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: |
| 15:47.26 | tarragon | Does 31 August mean anything significant in live project terms to you. Have you had a monthly email from me for the last nine months asking you to start the bloody work rather than sitting in your cube playing Sudoku all day and most importantly are all my line managers <-- Note plural ;-( If not, then you wont. If yes, then i apologise Sir, but for heaven sake, we are a total of two years in and not a line has been written yet! |
| 15:48.22 | morsing | tarragon! |
| 15:49.51 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; you rang sir? |
| 15:50.06 | tarragon | Just feeling useless, by having to report to so many senior managers that it wastes hours everyday trying to get them all to agree on what I should be doing and not constanly changing every SLA in site |
| 15:50.15 | tarragon | ;-( |
| 15:54.39 | antiphase | Get a different job then |
| 15:55.58 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: I'm back, Whats for tea? |
| 15:56.25 | boudiccas | sausage sandwiches tonight with cheese dreams |
| 15:57.00 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: You do like your suasage don't you ;-) |
| 15:57.20 | boudiccas | yes, especially korkers ... a kent specilaity sausage |
| 15:57.42 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: :-/ |
| 15:58.10 | tarragon | Not a simple answer. My immediate team are all fantastic and I get to do things I would not get a chance to anywhere else. Only one bunch of senior managers that are such a pain, i am not allowed to attend meetings with them, because I told them what i thought of them. |
| 15:58.13 | boudiccas | when cooked well they are gorgeous :o) |
| 15:58.32 | tarragon | boudiccas: What are cheese dreams? |
| 15:58.59 | boudiccas | fried cheese sandwiches... the bread goes golden and the cheese melts, superb! |
| 15:59.25 | dick_turpin | tarragon: A bloody nightmare :-D |
| 16:00.24 | tarragon | Yes, but it keeps me off the streets |
| 16:01.34 | antiphase | Well as long as they keep on paying you I'd just keep your head down until they go bankrupt. Or you could kick up a stink and get a shit reference |
| 16:02.10 | dick_turpin | Anyone know the mysteries of sendmail? Apprently even though it worked fine up until Christmas I now have to change it from sending from localhost |
| 16:02.17 | boudiccas | best of all is if they're fried in bacon fat ........ mmm, yummy |
| 16:04.01 | SlayerXP | i have a very simple way of fixing almost all sendmail problems |
| 16:04.20 | SlayerXP | apt-get install exim4-daemon-(heavy||light) |
| 16:06.57 | dick_turpin | SlayerXP: If I cant figure out sendmail what chance have I got with exim4 ? |
| 16:07.20 | SlayerXP | "some" |
| 16:09.05 | dick_turpin | hm man pages talk about a .cf file |
| 16:23.18 | antiphase | sendmail is just awkward to configure. Exim requires that you have a brain in the first place, but the rewards are great |
| 16:24.38 | dick_turpin | antiphase: I'm rubbish at this :-( |
| 16:25.20 | antiphase | You should probably stick to AOL Instant Messenger then |
| 16:26.10 | antiphase | Email is a non-trivial subject, but it's not terribly difficult to set up something to do simple things |
| 16:26.59 | dick_turpin | antiphase: I don't think I can load AOL on my webserver |
| 16:28.03 | boudiccas | hey arkwright! what time do you close on Fridays? :o) |
| 16:28.16 | antiphase | A basic exim config just for seding out mail is only a few lines. People don't publish them, to maintain the barrier of entry at a suitable height |
| 16:29.51 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: 5.00pm :-) |
| 16:30.07 | boudiccas | 30 minutes and counting then :) |
| 16:30.16 | boudiccas | I'll put the kettle on |
| 16:30.54 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: And its gonna go quick coz I'm hitting CentOS with a brick to get the mail working again |
| 16:31.04 | boudiccas | lol |
| 16:31.23 | antiphase | I might have known DeadRat derivatives are the only ones still using sendmail by default |
| 16:31.24 | boudiccas | use two and you can castrate the nearest camel :))))) |
| 16:33.35 | dick_turpin | antiphase: I don't need any full fledged mailer the box just sends logs to my main machine but it also sends my fliers out which are activated from the website |
| 16:35.33 | antiphase | Use mailx then |
| 16:35.52 | dick_turpin | I dont think its my box as the maillog says connection refused by our mailservers |
| 16:56.42 | dick_turpin | I give up, going home in 5 mins TTFN |
| 16:58.03 | eyore | dns question |

| 16:58.22 | eyore | if you own a domain and use a dns service for it |
| 16:58.37 | secretlondon | hi |
| 16:58.38 | eyore | is it possible to delegate subdomains to another DNS entry |
| 16:59.15 | cpufreak | anyone have a sound level meter I can borrow for a couple of days? |
| 16:59.20 | eyore | i know DNS is hierarchical but unsure how it works |
| 16:59.26 | eyore | getting noisy at work? |
| 17:00.26 | tarragon | goibhni1: will the chair be able to move back and forwards? Is it a heated car seat? |
| 17:03.31 | goibhni1 | tarragon: http://www.robotics.com/chair/ |
| 17:04.22 | goibhni1 | I've got an ikea wooden seat at the moment and my neck regularly packs it in on me |
| 17:05.58 | goibhni1 | that chair is motorised and can move forwards and backwards |
| 17:06.41 | secretlondon | goibhni1: can it spin round and make you sick? |
| 17:07.33 | goibhni1 | secretlondon: it can only spin around the earth's axis and yes if you eat it you will be sick |
| 17:08.34 | goibhni1 | I really just want a nice office chair ... anyone own an office chair shop? |
| 17:09.18 | secretlondon | nah - but i'd like one too (chair not shop) |
| 17:09.40 | goibhni1 | secretlondon: still offline? |
| 17:10.18 | secretlondon | yeah - fuckers |
| 17:10.36 | goibhni1 | basterds |
| 17:10.50 | secretlondon | I can only find 3 access points currently - one weped, one wpaed and one open but I can't associate to it |
| 17:11.09 | secretlondon | i'm back in the expensive net cafe as the other one was just so dire |
| 17:11.30 | goibhni1 | yay! firefox and wc! |
| 17:11.38 | goibhni1 | secretlondon: you're worth it! |
| 17:12.15 | secretlondon | goibhni1: yeah but it's half the net access /£ |
| 17:12.37 | secretlondon | however I reckon I may be more productive on somehting other than a P2 with a 14 inch monitor |
| 17:13.49 | goibhni1 | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:14.20 | goibhni1 | secretlondon: you can get better machines than that from freecycle |
| 17:14.20 | secretlondon | contract typists, slightly higher up the food chain than temps ;) |
| 17:14.30 | secretlondon | goibhni1: I know, but they don't come with net access |
| 17:14.53 | goibhni1 | anyways I'm sure you're busy enough with your farm of suns |
| 17:15.19 | goibhni1 | at least you have a network which you can access |
| 17:15.43 | secretlondon | yeah - I've got that are functional now - aspidistra the ultra 1, and ermintrude the sparcstation 20 (renamed from sunny, I've no idea what the ultra 1 was called) |
| 17:15.48 | secretlondon | two |
| 17:17.08 | goibhni1 | "mind operator chair" £100 (no arm rests) |
| 17:17.24 | secretlondon | operating people's minds? |
| 17:19.23 | secretlondon | now, *thats* a job ;) |
| 17:20.30 | goibhni1 | secretlondon: the chair looks very boring ... I wonder if they *want* me to think that |
| 17:21.50 | secretlondon | indeed - you know you can't have management pretentions and sit on the contract typist chair.. |
| 17:31.57 | Leeds | well, that was an interesting - and fun - night :-) |
| 17:32.56 | Leeds | with an unexpected twist or two... |
| 17:33.33 | secretlondon | hi Leeds |
| 17:34.47 | Leeds | morning secretlondon :-) |
| 17:37.54 | goibhni1 | go Leeds! |
| 17:38.38 | Leeds | goibhni1: thanks :-) |
| 17:39.07 | Leeds | oh, and an invite to rent someone's futon for quite a lot less than I'm paying for rent now |
| 17:40.34 | Leeds | "A mystery pub customer expertly removes a urinal and sneaks it off the premises in a rucksack." is a great story... |
| 17:40.43 | eyore | most boring article ever: |
| 17:40.43 | eyore | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/01/05/aardman_net_upgrade/ |
| 17:40.48 | Leeds | who the fsck steals the loo from a pub? :-) |
| 17:41.05 | eyore | I just wrote theregister: |
| 17:41.06 | eyore | I recently upgraded my home connection from a few mbits/sec to a few more mbits/sec with reduced contention and i was very disappointed that it didn't make it into the news today. |
| 17:41.49 | antiphase | Why would the register note that you had upgraded your DSL? |
| 17:42.06 | eyore | Why would they note that arrdman had? |
| 17:42.19 | eyore | it's a tiny company using very little bandwidth |
| 17:42.44 | eyore | unless they have mbit and gigabit confused |
| 17:43.40 | cpufreak | tiny company who has produced some fucking cool films |
| 17:43.51 | cpufreak | as opposed to you who is a boring geek? :P |
| 17:43.51 | eyore | true but there are a lot of cool companies |
| 17:44.04 | eyore | why talk about their bandwidth connection |
| 17:44.25 | eyore | cunningly there submit feedback button doesn't work |
| 17:44.53 | cpufreak | its clearly a ntl press release |
| 17:44.58 | cpufreak | which el reg rehashed |
| 17:45.30 | tripitaka | /quit |
| 17:46.08 | eyore | I know |
| 17:46.14 | cpufreak | ntl are prob doing their usual thing of giving them freebandwidth |
| 17:46.18 | cpufreak | in order to win business |
| 17:46.21 | eyore | we do similar press releases |
| 17:46.27 | eyore | i'm always amazed what companies print |
| 17:46.37 | cpufreak | thats pretty much what they did to blackstar.co.uk back in 1999/2000 |
| 17:46.53 | cpufreak | as blackstar were their biggest customer in northern ireland, and wanted to leave |
| 17:49.17 | secretlondon | the media seem to love making news out of tech press releases |
| 18:00.00 | Erwin | blackstar, oh blackstar |
| 18:00.12 | Erwin | now replaced with a lame corporate "sendit" |
| 18:00.22 | cpufreak | yeh |
| 18:00.28 | cpufreak | the old blackstar building in belfast rocked |
| 18:00.36 | cpufreak | before they ran out of VC funding |
| 18:53.16 | secretlondon | i'm annoyed when someone on a mailing list posts "I don't know what susi is", I say "I presume they mean SuSe" and then someone responds as though *I* was the person who didn't know what suse was |
| 18:54.37 | wethrin | And it's SUSE :-P |
| 18:55.52 | secretlondon | :P |
| 18:56.18 | secretlondon | I reckon if I was called "Fred" or something I wouldn't get patronised anywhere near as much ;) |
