| 10:01.24 | Ch0Hag | Should I get this client a 4th drive as a hot-spare or is 2 with parity enough? |
| 10:02.22 | antiphase | Toss a coin. |
| 10:02.38 | antiphase | Get them some backups, it's far more worthwhile |
| 10:04.26 | Ch0Hag | Selling them backups (well - better backups) is stage two. |
| 10:05.52 | antiphase | Have you told them you don't know anything and get all your technical advice on IRC? ;) |
| 10:05.53 | wethrin | Depends how likely you think more drives are to fail :) |
| 10:06.00 | cpufreak | just outsource your stuff to antiphase. |
| 10:06.07 | Ch0Hag | Well they already have some crappy dat-3 or something from the previous incumbent. |
| 10:06.20 | cpufreak | he runs a 50TB/month or so backup platform |
| 10:06.31 | cpufreak | along with most of an ISP |
| 10:06.35 | Ch0Hag | When I give the invoice for installing these drives I can tell them their backup system is insufficient. |
| 10:06.47 | cpufreak | wii Ch0Hag |
| 10:06.49 | cpufreak | doh |
| 10:06.50 | wethrin | Mm....DAT |
| 10:06.56 | wethrin | Write-only media |
| 10:07.11 | cpufreak | I don't know why people still use DAT |
| 10:07.20 | wethrin | Okay, it's not that bad, but it has a tendency of being a little iffy at times |
| 10:07.23 | cpufreak | LTO is a far better technology |
| 10:07.29 | wethrin | cpufreak: It's still cheap |
| 10:07.32 | cpufreak | LTO is cheaper |
| 10:07.39 | cpufreak | well the drives cost slightly more |
| 10:07.42 | wethrin | Is LTO the new DLT, OAIC? |
| 10:07.43 | cpufreak | but the tapes are far cheaper |
| 10:10.42 | antiphase | Everything's cheap on eBay |
| 10:10.51 | cpufreak | LTO isn't new |
| 10:11.02 | cpufreak | its onto the 4th revision |
| 10:11.05 | cpufreak | but its an open standard |
| 10:19.13 | Ch0Hag | People use DAT because it's common. |
| 10:21.35 | cpufreak | it was common 5 years ago, its antique now. |
| 10:21.46 | cpufreak | LTO is more common |
| 10:22.00 | wethrin | Is LTO the current tape-du-jour? |
| 10:23.48 | cpufreak | uh huh |
| 10:29.46 | hali | indeed |
| 10:30.53 | hali | or t10000 if you have plenty of dosh |
| 10:30.58 | wethrin | I don't |
| 10:31.18 | antiphase | I prefer the Cyberdyne Systems 101 |
| 10:31.28 | hali | t10000 drives go for like 8k a pop |
| 10:31.32 | wethrin | ow |
| 10:31.53 | hali | but i think lto-4 is almost as quick and reliable |
| 10:32.00 | hali | 120meg/sec or something |
| 10:33.33 | antiphase | That's got to be Fibrechannel territory |

| 10:50.44 | bilarh_ | maybe xe have changed their web site or something |
| 10:53.39 | Ch0Hag | There's good news for PlusNet, which after a nightmarish run of technical glitches recovered to top the poll by satisfying 78 per cent of its customers. |
| 10:53.52 | Ch0Hag | A quarter of one's customers are unhappy yet one is still top dog. |
| 10:54.10 | Ch0Hag | That doesn't read well. |
| 10:54.15 | antiphase | I'm amazed they have any customers |
| 10:54.33 | Ch0Hag | No, it reads fine. It doesn't ..... something well. |
| 10:56.11 | wethrin | Presumably size matters? |
| 10:56.31 | wethrin | I suspect a larger percentage are happy with, say, UKFSN or Blackcat. But they just don't have that many customers |
| 10:57.08 | antiphase | Neither are they northern monkeys |
| 10:57.27 | Ch0Hag | Yeah that doesn't help anybody. |
| 10:57.33 | wethrin | BCN is part Irish |
| 10:59.53 | Ch0Hag | Oh apparently Gates isn't the world's richest man any more. |
| 11:00.07 | Ch0Hag | (I thought it wus the Sultan of Brunei anyway) |
| 11:00.14 | Ch0Hag | Brunai? |
| 11:00.19 | wethrin | Gates was for a time |
| 11:00.23 | wethrin | But that was because of the shares he owns |
| 11:00.34 | wethrin | which isn't 'real' wealth anyway |
| 11:00.56 | bilarh_ | wethrin: well, of course it is... it can be easily liquidated, no? |
| 11:01.08 | bilarh_ | or what would you classify as real wealth? |
| 11:01.10 | bilarh_ | camels? |
| 11:01.26 | wethrin | Money that's sat in a bank account |
| 11:01.36 | wethrin | Shares can fairly easily become devalued |
| 11:01.45 | Ch0Hag | Real wealth is real things, not a number in a computer. |
| 11:02.03 | Ch0Hag | Money in a bank is tenuous at best. |
| 11:02.20 | Ch0Hag | Shares and the like are likely even less. |
| 11:02.43 | bilarh_ | wethrin: heh, money in a bank... inflation :P |
| 11:03.32 | bilarh_ | if someone has a million pounds worth of shares, then he's got a million pounds worth of wealth imo |
| 11:03.41 | bilarh_ | yes, the value may go up or down, but so does the value of all other things |
| 11:03.52 | wethrin | Which he can't just pull out and spend like you can do with money in a bank account |
| 11:06.18 | bilarh_ | yes he can, he can sell the shares and use the proceeds to buy things |
| 11:06.58 | bilarh_ | are you saying that if you have 1 million pounds in your bank account you are wealthy, but if you wisely invest them somewhere and thus only have 10000 in your bank account, you are less wealthy? |
| 11:10.10 | wethrin | guess not... |
| 11:10.54 | bilarh_ | i see where you're coming from, sort of, as the liquidity of cash is a lot higher and generally the value fluctuates less, but still |
| 11:15.23 | Ch0Hag | Oh bugger. |

| 14:43.58 | mumper | goibhniuI mean, to be clear, the chat messages in gaim ... |
| 14:44.07 | bilarh_ | and then if i try to mount it again, it says it can't mount the directory from the server |

| 15:31.58 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: ah yeah ... I get that from time to time too ... it's a problem with the nvidia driver I think |
| 15:32.47 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Yeah, I think Ive got the internal WIFI working pity I've nothing to connect to |
| 15:34.00 | boudiccas | connect to the blokes with the 999 taxis, i'm sure they'd appreciate it |
| 15:36.13 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: funny you should say that two of my neighbours must have it as my card picked up the BT one and Blueyonder |
| 15:36.45 | boudiccas | does that mean that they've got unsecured networks then? |
| 15:38.08 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: I'm new to wifi but they had 'managed' ones? I was using kwifi to scan, my train of thought was if kwifi can scan then the card must be working? |
| 15:40.45 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: it should tell you if they're encrypted or not ... if it's any good |
| 15:41.35 | goibhniu | wifi-radar ain't bad ... but I'm dead happy with the gnome network manager of late |
| 15:41.52 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: The only GUI tool I've got is kwifi everything else has to be done via vi or vim or emacs |
| 15:46.21 | boudiccas | oooh emacs :) |
| 15:47.02 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Just had a quick look in the repo :-( only madwifi which I have installed, looks like I've got more reading to do |
| 15:50.10 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: I don't use emacs (Only cos I don't know how) I use vi |
| 15:50.35 | wethrin | mm....emacs |
| 15:51.32 | boudiccas | :( |
| 15:51.51 | gw280 | wethrin: you SUCK |
| 15:51.51 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: I'm sure kwifi will do the job fine ... this is wifi-radar though: http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/ |
| 15:51.54 | gw280 | wethrin: VIM IS CLEARLY THE BEST |
| 15:52.18 | wethrin | emacs 4EVA! |
| 15:52.24 | boudiccas | rubbish george |
| 15:52.36 | wethrin | vi is for people who can't handle key chording |
| 15:53.37 | gw280 | vim is clearly better than emacs |
| 15:53.55 | boudiccas | rubbish george |
| 15:54.03 | wethrin | What's easier than C-f for compiling your LaTeX document? |
| 15:54.09 | wethrin | And C-v for viewing it? |
| 15:55.53 | dick_turpin | wethrin: I want my money back, its broken |
| 15:56.12 | boudiccas | rubbish george |
| 15:56.28 | gw280 | boudiccas: you're an idiot. |
| 15:56.47 | bilarh_ | gw280: you the idiot! |
| 15:57.09 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Please don't tell me I have to compile it |
| 15:57.13 | gw280 | bilarh_: sod off |
| 15:57.23 | bilarh_ | oooh, fight talk |
| 15:57.51 | boudiccas | rubbish george |
| 15:57.59 | gw280 | boudiccas: bugger off |
| 15:58.12 | boudiccas | george, rubbish |
| 15:58.13 | wethrin | gw280: Play nice! |
| 15:58.22 | gw280 | wethrin: no |
| 15:58.34 | boudiccas | george, i went to cambridge in 1962 |
| 15:58.35 | dick_turpin | Its amazing how "Which editor do you use?" can evoke such hostility the times I've seen that on lists and forums |
| 15:59.01 | wethrin | dick_turpin: Simple - people don't want to use the best tool for the job, for silly reasons |
| 15:59.03 | bilarh_ | dick_turpin: it's because we are insecure nerds :( |
| 15:59.14 | bilarh_ | except for me and wethrin who use emacs |
| 15:59.29 | boudiccas | bilarh_; as do i |
| 15:59.33 | bilarh_ | what i meant to say was "it's because vi users are insecure nerds" |
| 15:59.34 | wethrin | I sometimes use ed |
| 15:59.35 | antiphase | Emacs is OK if you only use one machine all day |
| 15:59.36 | bilarh_ | and boudiccas |
| 15:59.39 | wethrin | But only for scripting |
| 15:59.47 | wethrin | antiphase: Such as your main workstation? |
| 15:59.48 | dick_turpin | wethrin: I only know how top use vi and I'm not ashamed to say that |
| 15:59.54 | bilarh_ | yeah editing config files in emacs is way overkill |
| 16:00.06 | wethrin | indeed |
| 16:00.14 | antiphase | I find it easier to just know how to use one editor that's on all 250 of the machines I can log into |
| 16:00.20 | bilarh_ | plus it doesn't look quite that pretty in console mode anyway :-) |
| 16:00.21 | wethrin | ed? |
| 16:00.29 | antiphase | I'm sure I'd be an emacs weenie if I was a developer though |
| 16:02.18 | bilarh_ | hmm.. i think you've hit the nail on the head there |
| 16:03.11 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Oi I've only got another 25 mins don't go waltzing off on me |
| 16:03.35 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: I agree, you need them both |
| 16:03.44 | boudiccas | 25 minutes to tulsa |
| 16:04.05 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Both? |
| 16:05.11 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Following on from yesterday why have you got a puppy up your jumper ;-) |
| 16:05.40 | boudiccas | i have no puppy ... anywhere |
| 16:06.11 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: You must have his nose keeps poking through. Ta Da! |
| 16:06.34 | boudiccas | hrrm |
| 16:06.42 | dick_turpin | :-) |
| 16:06.48 | boudiccas | :-( |
| 16:06.57 | dick_turpin | :-* |
