10:16.16Ch0HagMy future wife is Ukrainian.

10:18.46Ch0HagHow's life?

10:20.03Axelcool
10:20.41Axellife's good - moving back to the UK this year
10:20.55Axelthree years back in the fatherland are enough to drive anyone nuts!
10:20.56Axel:-)
10:20.59Ch0HagOh. And I thought it was safe to let the women back out.
10:21.04Axelhow are things with you mate?
10:21.10Axelhehe
10:21.18Ch0HagNot bad, though currently jobless.
10:21.21Axelalmost got married myself...
10:21.28Axelwhat have you been up to?=
10:22.05Ch0HagI used to be a bit of a twat (well, a bit more than a bit) so I've had a piss-poor job history, and now it's back to bite me on the arse right when I don't need it to.
10:22.35Ch0HagScraping through by the skin of my teeth mostly.
10:23.07Ch0HagA bit of development for a two-bit company. Some sysadmin for another two-bit company.
10:23.11Ch0HagBoth of whom still owe me money.
10:23.46Axelgive it a name
10:23.50Axelsorry to hear that
10:24.17Ch0HagMeh. It's mostly my own fault.
10:24.22Axelwas like that before i left and got a proper job... now that everything's paid off, i'm going freelance again lol
10:24.25Ch0HagTiming's pretty awful though.
10:24.32Axelwell, you know what they say...
10:24.35Axelusually is
10:24.44Axelmurphy's law
10:24.46Ch0HagYeah I'm trying that. Actually finding clients isn't my strong point though.
10:24.54Ch0Hagie. I have 2.
10:25.03Ch0HagWell 1.5, really.
10:25.10Ch0HagSince they're in the same office.
10:26.14Axelwhat kinda work you looking for?
10:26.23Ch0HagSysadmin and/or dev.
10:26.27Ch0HagPreferably admin.
10:26.30wethrinhi Axel
10:26.43Ch0HagDev is fun and I like to keep it that way.
10:27.57Axelhi dan
10:29.06Axelfunny...
10:29.51Axelafter years of not bothering with hosting services, i'm just getting back into it to support the primary business (oh god that sounds bad...)
10:30.50Ch0HagI still host behind my adsl.
10:31.00Ch0HagGood machine, actually. Shame about the bandwidth though.
10:33.12Ch0HagOh dear.
10:33.23Ch0HagNatWest have written to say they're going to increase my overhraft.
10:33.27Ch0Hagoverdraft
10:38.05Axelsorry for the lag - boss is around
10:38.22Ch0HagOf the PH variety?

21:54.06DiscordianRe
22:34.46highburyI should check whether F9 will boot on my machine, F8 certainly didn't (all sata based machine)
22:35.32DiscordianHmmm
22:35.53DiscordianThat was a problem with early F8 betas
22:36.08DiscordianRelated to the switch to libata
22:36.17highburyand F8 final DVD x86_64 version
22:36.37DiscordianNot tried it on x86_64
22:37.20highburybit of a bugger, the machine boots off the DVD, then refuses to recognise it later on :-(
22:37.38DiscordianYeah
22:38.01highburyCentos 5.1 and Ubuntu 7.10 had the same problem, so I could only install openSUSE 10.3
22:38.30DiscordianOok
22:39.01antiphaseSounds like cheap hardware to me
22:40.28highburylatest shuttle with SATA DVD-Writer
22:41.18etorixshuttle  can be tricky
22:41.31murbnew hardware, you get to debug it :-)
22:41.51murbhighbury: anything in dmesg, when it is not later seen?
22:42.00murbdoes it show up in lsusb ?
22:42.21etorixubuntu64 never got my clockchip on da shuttle
22:43.31murbor lspci?
22:49.24DiscordianI ought to install F8 on my x86_64 box
22:50.17DiscordianOr try at least
22:50.30DiscordianSince it's also SATA
22:58.03highburyI tried going cutting edge all sata, and ripped out all ide cables
22:58.53DiscordianHeh
22:59.07highburynothing useful was really said in the dmesg, as it descends into kernel issues, which can't be back page keyed
23:01.32highburyits times like that you want to be able to boot via a serial connection, so you can capture all the output
23:06.19DiscordianLog via syslog to another box?#
23:13.44murbor netconsole
23:13.48murbwhich is really neat!
23:14.59DiscordianIs that what I think it is?
23:15.34DiscordianVNC on install?
23:19.00murbnope
23:19.06murbit is kernel messages over the network
23:19.12murbvery simple starts from early boot
23:19.30murbhelps if you have the ethernet driver built in if you crash before modules are loaded.
23:19.39DiscordianAhhh okay
23:19.46DiscordianSounds interesting
23:20.19murbI boot a machine with netconsole=4444@88.198.54.53/eth0,514@88.198.54.52/00:16:17:EE:53:98 as an example
23:20.25murbno arp etc
23:20.33murbso you have to hardcode the mac of the machine / router
23:20.36murband everything
23:21.10DiscordianOh right
