00:55.10 | gw280 | wethrin: YOU WERE LATE? |
00:55.23 | gw280 | wethrin: robster's been complaining about you |
00:55.27 | gw280 | wethrin: YOU SUCK |
00:56.54 | wethrin | Weren't me, guv |
00:57.15 | wethrin | morsing got stuck in traffic - some accident caused the A4 to be closed off |
00:57.22 | wethrin | So it took him 4 hours to get to the datacentre |
01:00.45 | *** join/#gllug Leeds (n=richardc@169.222.9.194) |
01:00.46 | gw280 | wethrin: well, you lose heavily. |
01:01.02 | wethrin | No, I win, because my server's running |
01:01.11 | gw280 | 00:54:17 < robster> never ever run a hosting company |
01:01.14 | wethrin | After robster recabled the network a bit |
01:01.19 | gw280 | 00:54:31 < robster> you'll be stuck in london until the wee hours because your customer was late |
01:01.22 | gw280 | 00:54:46 < robster> and then you'll find the ethernet cables are too short. |
01:01.53 | wethrin | It was most unfortunate, and I think everyone was a bit pissed off |
01:02.14 | gw280 | doesn't surprise me |
01:02.49 | gw280 | wethrin: I just told him I recommended them... I think he's now going to kill me :P |
01:02.57 | wethrin | I would be. But, of course, shit happens in traffic. It really wasn't morsing's fault |
01:03.31 | wethrin | But if you could pass on my thanks to robster for getting the machines up and running |
01:03.47 | gw280 | I would go play with mjg59's OLPC, but he's in .au |
01:03.57 | Leeds | gw280: duh |
01:05.05 | Leeds | gw280: you know I'm at lca as well, right? |
01:05.13 | gw280 | Leeds: no |
01:05.22 | Leeds | gw280: I'm at lca as well |
01:05.29 | gw280 | I see |
01:06.00 | gw280 | I would be there if I wasn't poor and a student. |
01:06.12 | wethrin | Sponge off parents |
01:06.23 | gw280 | wethrin: ok, I'm also a student and I had exams today |
01:06.33 | Leeds | I'm largely here on credit card |
01:06.53 | gw280 | eek. |
01:06.59 | gw280 | I'm never getting a credit card. ever. |
01:07.01 | gw280 | they're evil things |
01:07.02 | gw280 | evil. |
01:07.49 | Leeds | it's a cashflow thing - I've got the money, or I'm owed it from somewhere else |
01:08.58 | gw280 | I see |
01:11.38 | wethrin | Credit cards are actually damn useful |
01:11.46 | wethrin | Extra buyer protection, etc. etc. |
01:12.07 | Leeds | Dean is mass-blogging |
01:13.31 | Leeds | I got a c/c in Hong Kong purely so I could spend money online from my current account - I'd have taken a Visa debit card, but they have their own debit network in HK and don't offer Visa debit |

08:30.24 | SlayerXP | yes |
08:31.01 | morsing | SlayerXP: I've got a new IP address on my server but I can't remember the login/password for my domain/DNS login to change it |
08:31.21 | SlayerXP | login: henrik |

08:31.27 | morsing | uck off |
08:31.38 | sabinef72 | morsing ! |
08:31.40 | morsing | I emiled them yesterday ut obviously got no reply |
08:31.43 | morsing | sabinef72! |
08:31.51 | morsing | sabinef72: The book is really funny :) |
08:32.04 | SlayerXP | morsing: just think, had you chosen me to host your DNS for you, you wouldn't have this problem :) |
08:32.36 | morsing | SlayerXP: You don't host DNS |
08:32.45 | SlayerXP | yes, I do |
08:32.50 | SlayerXP | for many hundreds of domains |
08:32.50 | morsing | It's not "host". It's my TLD pointer! |
08:33.01 | sabinef72 | morsing: it's a bit exaggerate but yes it's very very funny |
08:33.20 | morsing | I can't change morsing.cc to point at my new IP |
08:34.30 | morsing | SlayerXP: So what do I do? |
08:34.36 | morsing | Can you change it? |
08:35.15 | morsing | HELP |
08:35.21 | SlayerXP | I could hire a dance band and ask them to play "Abide With Me" |
08:35.35 | morsing | SlayerXP: You're an idiot |
08:35.53 | SlayerXP | you're not the first, and you won't be the last, to make that observation |
08:36.07 | SlayerXP | but I'm an idiot who has access to his DNS records. |
08:36.41 | rhowe | hmm, so, do I build a box with 10 gigE ports, or do I build one with 6, with a couple being trunked to the switch and do VLANs on the host itself? |
08:36.50 | morsing | rhowe: Why are you ignoring me? |
08:37.06 | rhowe | morsing: 'cause I'm going snowboarding! |
09:03.06 | z00dax | moin |
09:03.41 | z00dax | so then, anyone London based sysadmin type with db skills looking for a really cool job ? |
09:05.07 | SlayerXP | <fx> tumbleweed </fx> |
09:12.24 | antiphase | What are "db skills" exactly? |
09:15.09 | z00dax | moderate dba skills, functional knowledge of sql ( most on pgsql and mysql ) |
09:16.31 | z00dax | $clue about data warehouses and data marts ++ |
09:45.12 | morsing | 554 mail server permanently rejected message (#5.3.0) |
09:45.15 | morsing | Gnnffff |
09:46.15 | z00dax | is that your mailserver or is that someone else's mailserver rejecting your emails |
09:54.27 | morsing | It's my backup server |
09:54.34 | morsing | Run by widge.net |
09:54.52 | morsing | wethrin: Just spooling off your held mail... |
09:56.25 | z00dax | wow $24 a year for backup MX, isnt easydns a lot better and cheaper ? |
09:57.18 | z00dax | humm no they are not |
09:58.56 | morsing | z00dax: easydns sucks |
09:59.06 | z00dax | howso ? |
09:59.15 | morsing | z00dax: How do I change my morsing.cc DNS pointer when I can't remember my login? |
09:59.39 | z00dax | login to what ? usually you'd just make a change in the zone file |
09:59.54 | z00dax | if you cant get into the machine, init 1, passwd change, init 3, login |
10:00.03 | morsing | I don't have access to the zone file. Only very priviledged people do |
10:00.18 | morsing | z00dax: I don't have access to any of the TLD servers |
10:00.38 | z00dax | err ? |
10:00.42 | morsing | Exactly |
10:00.46 | morsing | So what to do? |
10:00.54 | z00dax | not sure how .cc works - does it not deligate to your own nameservers ? |
10:00.56 | morsing | I emailed them yesterday but no response |
10:01.06 | morsing | Yes, but it moved! |
10:01.30 | z00dax | thats bollocks |
10:01.37 | z00dax | your NS is hosted with a third party anyway |
10:01.58 | z00dax | you dont have your login for widge.net then ? |
10:02.22 | z00dax | morsing.cc. 28800 IN NS ns2.widge.net. |
10:02.22 | z00dax | morsing.cc. 28800 IN NS 195.10.223.76.morsing.cc. |
10:02.22 | z00dax | morsing.cc. 28800 IN NS ns1.widge.net. |
10:02.34 | z00dax | try calling them on the phone ? |
10:02.39 | morsing | z00dax: Huh? |
10:02.53 | morsing | It's not widge |
10:03.01 | morsing | It's enic# |
10:03.20 | z00dax | well, either they broke the internet, or it actually is widge.net |
10:03.28 | morsing | It's not |
10:03.37 | morsing | Widge's just a secondary |
10:04.37 | z00dax | that sounds odd, they dont list primary NS in the host record ? |
10:04.52 | z00dax | and who is 195.10.223.76 |
10:05.07 | z00dax | sov-colo-195-10-223-76.bluelinux.co.uk. |
10:05.27 | morsing | That's my server |
10:05.38 | morsing | z00dax: That's not the current problem anyway... |
10:05.43 | z00dax | i am prolly not being of much help, so I will stop now. really feel no inclination to discover the dns root's of .cc |
10:06.00 | morsing | And please don't tell me how my own setup is setup... I set it up! |
10:06.17 | z00dax | ok |
10:06.29 | sabinef72 | z00dax !!!!!!!! |
10:06.33 | z00dax | sabinef72: ! |
10:06.34 | sabinef72 | you know what z00dax ? |
10:06.35 | morsing | z00dax: Thanks anyway :) |
10:06.43 | z00dax | sabinef72: what what ? |
10:07.00 | sabinef72 | z00dax: I never received your postcard from India :-( |
10:07.07 | z00dax | morsing: just that the only NS listed for your domain seem to be widge.net and you yourself... |
10:07.13 | z00dax | sabinef72: really ? |
10:07.18 | sabinef72 | yes it's true |
10:07.23 | morsing | z00dax: Correct |
10:07.24 | z00dax | humm |
10:07.50 | z00dax | i am going back there again, so can retry |
10:07.58 | sabinef72 | thank |
10:08.03 | sabinef72 | when will you go back ? |
10:08.14 | z00dax | not sure as yet, but before fosdem |
10:08.23 | sabinef72 | When is fosdem ? |
10:08.40 | z00dax | end feb |
10:09.02 | sabinef72 | ohh so it's soon |

10:09.31 | z00dax | are you going to come there ? |
10:09.50 | murb | it is trivial to get to brussels from paris. |
10:10.02 | z00dax | geekette! |
10:10.23 | sabinef72 | hmmm Paris - Bruxelles is around 3 hours by car |
10:10.43 | z00dax | or 45 min by train ? |
10:10.53 | murb | sabinef72: that prevents you getting no a thalys? |
10:11.24 | murb | iirc the train to koeln from paris stops in bruxxels. |
10:11.29 | sabinef72 | but thalys is expensive |
10:11.38 | murb | sabinef72: they have special offeres. |
10:12.08 | sabinef72 | the main problem is I can't leave paris for the moment |
10:12.19 | murb | oh you are under city arrest? |
10:12.31 | z00dax | http://www.virtualbox.org/ wtf, another Virtualisation tool |
10:12.41 | morsing | z00dax: Do you understand how this works? |
10:12.48 | *** join/#gllug tripitaka (n=tripitak@83.217.101.115) |
10:12.58 | z00dax | morsing: how what works ? virtualbox ? no - not look at it as yet |
10:13.04 | murb | z00dax: qemu + an alternatives to kqemu |
10:13.04 | morsing | A root TLD server has the DNS record for your top level domain |
10:13.13 | morsing | It's not *the* DNS server |
10:13.17 | morsing | My server is |
10:13.20 | z00dax | murb: is that all it is ? |
10:13.29 | murb | z00dax: at the core. |
10:13.37 | morsing | But someone who doesn't know where the DNS server is will have to ask a root server |
10:13.41 | z00dax | in which case.. pass |
10:13.45 | murb | although they've added lots of infrustrucutre arround it. |
10:13.50 | morsing | That's what the problem is |
10:14.16 | z00dax | morsing: which is what i wanted to know - where your primary was |
10:14.25 | morsing | emil.morsing.cc is the primary |
10:14.30 | morsing | Which has changed address |
10:15.15 | z00dax | but both your secondries are listed with the root ? |
10:15.34 | z00dax | as long as they know where to pull from - you should mostly be ok for a while |
10:17.39 | tripitaka | I have a 'difficult' installation issue |
10:18.08 | tripitaka | A machine in East Africa with no CD-ROM, no USB, no IDE connectors, and it needs CentOS |
10:18.16 | z00dax | whats it running now ? |
10:18.34 | tripitaka | a virus - crippled XP installation |
10:19.05 | SlayerXP | tripitaka: network installs are trivial these days |
10:19.18 | SlayerXP | you'll need a local tftpd server, though |
10:19.25 | SlayerXP | preferably a local dhcp server, too |
10:19.40 | tripitaka | There's another linux server there |
10:19.43 | tripitaka | RH9 |
10:19.45 | z00dax | does loadlin still work these days ? |
10:20.01 | z00dax | rh9 ???? hope thats not on the internet. if it is - hope its well firewalled off |
10:20.08 | tripitaka | slayerxp: How would you recommend I approach it? |
10:20.36 | sabinef72 | murb: sorry for the lag. No I'm not a murder geek woman. I just have a medical treatment |
10:20.56 | SlayerXP | tripitaka: cautiously. |
10:21.01 | tripitaka | heh |
10:21.08 | tripitaka | holding a big stick |
10:21.36 | z00dax | does the machine have a fdd ? centos-3 has fdd install images ( and then once booted install over the internet ) |
10:21.48 | tripitaka | yes, it has a floppy |
10:22.09 | z00dax | will centos-3 do ? |
10:22.14 | tripitaka | recent kernels are too big for floppy though |
10:22.28 | tripitaka | it would - I can always upgrade to 4 once it's installed |
10:22.34 | morsing | z00dax: What do you get my MX to be? |
10:22.36 | z00dax | which is why i made specific ref to centos-3 and the 2.4 kernel |
10:23.08 | z00dax | morsing.cc. 28800 IN MX 10 mx1.widge.net. |

10:27.26 | z00dax | morsing: if you have the primary with you - why not change dns to reflect reality |
10:27.37 | z00dax | humm |
10:27.46 | morsing | I just did. Forgot yesterday, hence the error |
10:27.53 | z00dax | even if you update serial and reload ? surely primary will signal reload to secondary |
10:28.00 | morsing | Have to wait now till widge pulls |
10:28.09 | morsing | z00dax: They don't support that |
10:28.10 | z00dax | it should be instantly |
10:28.11 | morsing | I think |
10:28.26 | z00dax | that would break dns standards, i would have though. |

10:29.24 | z00dax | also, btw while you are shifitn all stuff around its a good idea to lower ttl to a few hundreds at best |
10:29.41 | morsing | Ok |
10:30.53 | morsing | Works :) |
10:31.11 | z00dax | cool |
10:31.23 | z00dax | good thing i didnt do the dns lookups from my MX machine |

10:31.54 | z00dax | although its usually awrite to have the primary hidden away - people with lots and lots of high dns traffic tend to do that by design |

10:56.22 | wethrin | b - redirect an email verbatim |
10:56.48 | morsing | Not 'resend' then change data? |
10:58.05 | wethrin | I tend to just hit 'b' if I want to forward someone an email |
11:01.38 | morsing | Nice |
11:05.33 | wethrin | morsing: Is there any queued mail for me left on emil? |
11:06.54 | morsing | wethrin: Always... |
11:07.08 | wethrin | oh |
11:07.14 | wethrin | how much? |
11:09.34 | morsing | Don't know. A few hundred? How do I tell? |
11:09.47 | morsing | BTW: What's my power and console info/logins? |
11:11.35 | wethrin | I don't know. Ask rob :) |
11:11.35 | wethrin | Do you have a serial console connected to yours, then? |
11:11.56 | wethrin | mailq should tell you |
11:12.06 | wethrin | maybe: mailq | grep eco.li | wc |
11:12.57 | morsing | wethrin: He said he would connect both servers up. Maybe today. I'll give him a call |
11:13.10 | wethrin | Right. I'd do it later on, then |
11:13.23 | morsing | Ha ha: |

11:14.44 | wethrin | He won't connect hades up to serial console, though, because he doesn't have the right cable |

12:21.37 | Leeds | evening all! |
12:21.48 | murb | morning early afternoon leeds. |
12:23.07 | Leeds | so... Linus is now wandering around Sydney... |
12:24.34 | Leeds | came home tonight with three more t-shirts than I had this morning... |
12:25.28 | wethrin | yay! |
12:25.49 | goibhniu | Leeds! .. are you in Sydney now? |
12:27.07 | Leeds | yes I am |
12:27.34 | goibhniu | cool! does it smell more or less than london? |
12:30.45 | goibhniu | anyone know of a good metropolis that has recently had a property crash but has buckets of jobs for developers? |
12:31.17 | phearless | sydney looks cool ! |
12:31.28 | phearless | Leeds: are you here for holidays or to look for a job? |
12:33.27 | phearless | is raid1 more "secure" than raid5 ? |
12:34.12 | antiphase | what? |
12:34.20 | antiphase | You mean more fault tolerant? |
12:34.34 | wethrin | Raid1 allows for one disk failure per array. So does Raid 5. |
12:35.17 | antiphase | And by deduction we can assume that since RAID5 requires at least 3 disks, it is more likely to sustain a failure than a pair of mirrored disks in any given time period |
12:35.34 | Leeds | it smells less... |
12:35.57 | Leeds | phearless: I'm here partly because Sydney is a nice place to be in January... partly to see my family... but mainly for linux.conf.au |
12:36.47 | murb | Leeds: your family are in .au as well? |
12:37.14 | Leeds | got aunt/uncle/cousins here, but only my aunt is in town... one of the cousins will be in HK next week :-) |
12:37.20 | phearless | antiphase, wethrin : I am hesitating between 2x2 RAID1 drives , or 3 RAID5 drives, to get the same capacity (of 2 hard drives) |
12:37.38 | wethrin | How important is the data? |
12:37.41 | phearless | with 2 HD mirrored, I got 2 HD capacity |
12:37.53 | phearless | and with 3 HD in RAID5 I got 2 HD capacity, too |
12:38.04 | phearless | it is just "important" |
12:38.11 | wethrin | Of course, RAID isn't a substitution for backup |
12:38.16 | phearless | yes |
12:38.27 | phearless | <Leeds> phearless: I'm here partly because Sydney is a nice place to be in January... partly to see my family... but mainly for linux.conf.au <---- ok cool :) |
12:38.46 | wethrin | So as long as you have a good backup strategy going, then RAID-5 should be sufficient |
12:38.50 | phearless | okay |
12:39.04 | tarragon | So for 2 HD capacity to either buy three or four disks. |
12:39.12 | Leeds | this afternoon, Linus was wandering around the courtyard on campus on a home-made open-source Segway |
12:39.35 | phearless | I will go for RAID5 |
12:39.39 | phearless | and buy a spare HD |
12:39.58 | phearless | home-made open-source Segway?!?! |
12:40.07 | phearless | must be dodgy :D |
12:40.31 | tarragon | depends on what you are running on it? Raid5 hits all the disks hard |
12:40.31 | antiphase | Anything that's named after a mis-spelling must be shit |
12:40.41 | Leeds | http://lca2007.linux.org.au/talk/185 - it seemed to work... if it didn't, we'd be down at least one kernel guy and one X guy, since keithp had a go on it as well |
12:41.00 | goibhniu | antiphase: like google |
12:41.08 | phearless | yes, tarragon |
12:41.17 | phearless | you are right ... |
12:41.35 | antiphase | Disk array in using the disks shocker :-O |
12:42.33 | goibhniu | Leeds: that looks way better than the original |
12:43.41 | Leeds | goibhniu: it did look fun... would like to make the talk |

17:51.26 | cpufreak | why are you telling me that |

18:22.15 | eyore | heh at last i have desktop effects working. lol |
18:22.21 | eyore | this was a good use of my time! |
18:22.45 | eyore | hey it's great! |
18:24.10 | goibhniu | eyore: yipee!! |
18:24.22 | eyore | lol, this is going to keep me entertained for hours |
18:24.28 | goibhniu | beryl? |
18:24.36 | eyore | compiz |
18:25.09 | goibhniu | ahh ... rockin! |
18:27.00 | eyore | live the virtual desktop changing |
18:27.30 | goibhniu | I never used virtual desktops tbh ... I can't live without the wobble and transparency though |
18:27.55 | goibhniu | scale and window grouping are nice too, but I don't tend to have that many windows open at a time |
18:27.57 | eyore | bloody hell it does the osX expose stuff too |
18:28.15 | goibhniu | are you using gnome? |
18:28.37 | eyore | yes |
18:28.44 | eyore | lol you can just drag a window round the cube |
18:29.11 | goibhniu | If you're interested I've got a version of gnome-launch-box that I find polishes off things nicely |
18:29.28 | goibhniu | just hit ctrl+f1 and start typing to start an app .. or open a file |
18:29.35 | goibhniu | and it looks nice imo |
18:30.25 | eyore | i'm going to be stuck at work for another 30mins atleast now! |
18:30.39 | goibhniu | :D |

18:42.16 | Cope | hello xotl |
18:42.27 | eyore | this really is not too shabby at all. i prefer some of it to the osX effects |
18:42.29 | xotl | hi Cope |
18:43.03 | Cope | eyore: what is "this" / |
18:43.05 | Cope | ? |
18:43.08 | eyore | compi |
18:43.09 | eyore | z |
18:43.32 | eyore | I know, i'm a bit late to the whole composite rendering on linux scene |
18:43.38 | Cope | oh... lots of poo |
18:43.42 | eyore | but i finally got it working on a new graphics card |
18:43.43 | xotl | is it actually useful or is it just eye candy? |
18:44.01 | eyore | it's just eye candy but actually it is damned good eye candy. |
18:44.16 | xotl | seems a bit like a gimmick to me |
18:44.56 | eyore | sure, although the basic not-redrawing window contents thing seems more like a bug fix for the last 15 years of desktop computing. |
18:45.27 | xotl | well thats something at least |
18:45.29 | eyore | makes things feel a lot less hacky |
18:45.45 | eyore | paricularly when moving windows over firefox etc, |
18:46.29 | xotl | don't suppose there are any mailing list admins around at the moment are there? |
18:47.25 | xotl | I want to announce the UK PHP conference, just thought I'd better check that its ok |
18:54.41 | Cope | no |
18:54.52 | Cope | under no circumstances can we allow a uk php conference |
18:55.16 | xotl | tarragon: my private msg was blocked cos my nick is not registered, but thanks I'll do that |
18:55.18 | tarragon | :-) |
18:55.41 | xotl | I'm nervous about the reaction from the Perl crowd |
18:55.51 | xotl | :-) |
18:56.16 | Cope | lol |
18:56.27 | tarragon | No need to be, PHP is as unsecure as perl ! |
18:56.58 | xotl | tarragon: you must have donned your asbestos suit :-) |
18:57.06 | Cope | well, expect to be flamed for advocating such a shoddy, insecure, badly implemented and inconsistent excuse for a vague attempt to produce something resembling a scripting language. |
18:57.41 | Cope | and now I must put children to bed |
18:57.43 | tarragon | Nah, Perl can be secure sometimes...Oh you meant Php.... |
18:57.58 | xotl | Cope: you guys have to support it so its best to know your enemy |
18:58.02 | xotl | tarragon: lol |
18:58.46 | xotl | tarragon: would it also be ok to send a reminder out a couple of days before? not essential... |
18:59.24 | tarragon | Yes Of course. It all depends on which admin is logged in at any particular time to clear down the spam |
18:59.25 | xotl | actually PHP is not that insecure itself |
18:59.43 | xotl | tarragon: ok, sure thanks |
19:00.03 | xotl | its just PHP coders that write insecure code |
19:00.42 | gw280 | compiz is a complete waste of time. |
19:02.20 | xotl | gw280: aren't you impressed by the wiggly windows? |
19:02.29 | gw280 | xotl: no |
19:02.39 | gw280 | xotl: I don't care much for eye candy |
19:02.52 | gw280 | xotl: my desktop usually consists of a full screen konsole window |
19:03.15 | xotl | gw280: not a graphics guy, then |
19:03.30 | xotl | gw280: I hear you are a kde hacker |
19:03.41 | gw280 | fsvo kde hacker |
19:04.17 | xotl | whats fsvo? |

19:05.12 | xotl | uh, right. what do you work on? |
19:05.17 | gw280 | nothing |
19:05.28 | xotl | used to work on...? |
19:05.36 | gw280 | I refuse to disclose this information :P |
19:06.17 | xotl | I don't use kde so I wouldn't have any judgement about whatever you did work on anyway |
19:06.45 | gw280 | I probably ought to do some work |
19:06.49 | gw280 | but I'm ill |

19:09.00 | Cope | is that because you did absolutely no work? |
19:09.04 | gw280 | Cope: yeah. |

20:16.19 | gregj | how would you guys recieve sentence "note to self" |
20:20.55 | gregj | you wouldn't :>, rrrright |
20:23.28 | gregj | it sounds not okay to me, but google says something else.. so.. |
20:23.31 | gregj | http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=note+to+self&defid=751160 |
20:35.14 | Leeds | gregj: 'note to self' is normally a rhetorical device, used either when you want to tell someone something, but phrase it as telling yourself, or as a self-deprecating way of admitting a mistake |
20:37.10 | Leeds | for example, you could say "note to self: drinking too much makes head hurt" when you're in the office in the morning, meaning either "oh, $COLLEAGUE, I see you had too much to drink last night and are now in pain" or "argh, I had too much to drink and I'm now in pain" |
