02:05.23secretlondonhi
02:05.36secretlondonz00dax, yes Discordian was in hospital, I didn't know
02:05.57DiscordianI was for 7 days
02:06.03DiscordianTill friday
02:07.03Discordianis backing stuff up so I can run fedora 9 when it ships
02:08.49Discordiani didn't know I was gonna be hospitalised till friday
02:09.30Discordiangrumbles about Patientline who do TV/net access at the hospital
02:09.50DiscordianAnd took my money and didn't deliver
02:11.31secretlondonpeople would have come and visited you, if we'd known
02:11.48DiscordianAww that's kind of you
02:12.08DiscordianI was allowed to come home and grab a laptop
02:12.30DiscordianBut patientline block all sites they don't know
02:12.53DiscordianSo none of the web->IRC places work
02:13.13Discordianand I couldn't ssh to anywhere I have a shell
02:13.34DiscordianAnd it was down most of the time
02:15.36DiscordianI was very impressed http://www,radiotimes.beeb.com caused it to reboot
02:23.15DiscordianStill I did get to read some dead-tree books :-(
02:27.43secretlondonI hate web filtering with a passion
02:27.56DiscordianLikewise
02:28.16DiscordianThey were only allowing white-listed sites
02:29.19DiscordianOn my way out I discovered there was an open AP on the ground floor
02:29.31DiscordianI wish I'd known that earlier

13:02.50DiscordianI guess so

19:27.17Discordianheh
19:28.59DiscordianI'm currently tearing my hair out trying to get kismet on my zaurus
19:31.09Discordiani've forgotten how to do PPP over USB on linux
19:31.30boudiccashould've written it down and posted it in your blog :)
19:31.30AndyMillar;p
19:33.20DiscordianSadly linux is really bad at backwards compatability
19:38.21haliHi
19:38.29Discordianlo
19:38.53halihm, quite annoying
19:39.09Discordianwhat is?
19:39.16halii work all day, go for a few drinks and as soon as i got home my mother phones
19:39.40haliso she hear my, totally pisssed, slagging off my work etc
19:39.51Discordianif my mum phoned I'd worry
19:40.01DiscordianShe died in 1991
19:40.07haliim sorry
19:40.18DiscordianNo need to be
19:40.24halinow, i need some time to download smut
19:41.23haligoogles "naked ladies in to linux loving geeks with less than average fore arms"
19:42.04DiscordianAn intriguingly unique genre
19:42.22halivery niche
19:42.33halihowever
19:42.34Discordianyuss
19:42.49halii read somwhere that 'geeks' are the cuddlies lovers, very un-selfish
19:43.30secretlondonsounds nice
19:43.38halii hope so
19:43.45Discordiani like cuddles and hugs
19:44.01Discordianit's not an offer , hali
19:44.11halithansk for clearifying ;)
19:44.24Discordiannp
19:44.45halii was more hoping for quiet evening in, perhaps building an rpm or two, a good movie, good food, and a cuddle ... with a _lady_
19:44.57halifuck me that sounds nerdy :D
19:45.17haliok, im going back to my googling
19:45.43DiscordianWomen that find building rpms romantic are perhaps a very small minority
19:46.45haliyes, i know, most girls are in to ubuntu and .deb's :(
19:46.48catalystoh, anything can be romantic if you've a poetic soul :)
19:47.31Discordianlikes Blake and Surrealist poety
19:47.38Discordianpoetry
19:47.43haliactually, my non-computer-interested sister just bought an eeepc 700 and phone me up and told me it 'sort of' never crashsed
19:47.54catalyst:o
19:48.17halishe was on the market for a general laptop and just bought the eee because it was 'cute'
19:48.23haliand now, it just 'works'
19:48.35secretlondonI much prefer debs
19:48.47halijust my luck
19:48.52Discordianmy ex bought an iMac cos it was pretty
19:48.58AndyMillarsecretlondon: debs <3
19:49.00catalystI personally prefer msis
19:49.04secretlondongood food and cuddles are good too
19:49.09catalystruns into the thames
19:49.19DiscordianI bought one cos I wanted to run OS 9
19:50.04DiscordianMmm good food
19:50.20halii bought a mac because it was cheap, bought it from the apple refurv store, then i sold it simply because i didnt have a use for it :(
19:50.24Discordiantried mole sauce recently
19:50.29halirefurb*
19:51.02Discordiani've a bog standard desktop that errm runs OS X
19:51.18Discordianamongst other things
19:51.25Discordianas well as a g4 mac
19:51.25halihackintosh?
19:51.29DiscordianYeah
19:51.35haliit looks ok
19:51.58DiscordianI patched tiger to make it run
19:51.59halii have to admit that i run vista at the moment and i haven't even upgraded my ubuntu partition to 8.04
19:52.14halion the other hand, all i run is ssh and firefox
19:52.30Discordiani use F7 mostly and F8 for some stuff
19:52.37haliis actually getting quite fond of SSL VPN
19:52.42DiscordianI have vista too on this box
19:52.48DiscordianopenVPN?
19:53.01halissl explorer
19:53.08Discordianahhh
19:53.14haliit's pretty much ssh port forwarding but over plain https
19:53.32halii.e. you can publish terminal servers and stuff over https without actually using ipsec
19:53.35halivery handy
19:53.41Discordiani did openVPN last place I worked
19:53.56haliwe have loads of money whenever the PO says cisco :(
19:54.00DiscordianIPSEC is a tad heavy duty
19:54.02haliso i use the ASA cisco stuff
19:54.45halitbh im so fed up with cisco atm
19:54.58haliall i've done in the last few weeks is configuring cisco kit :(
19:55.05Discordianthough at least it's mainstream and not FreeSWAN now
19:55.11Discordianwhich was a pain
19:56.37haliok, enough nerding
19:58.12halii should update my ubuntu install so i can impress secretlondon
19:58.46secretlondonI've just got my set of hardy cds to give to the anarchists
19:59.40DiscordianI shall to do a day zero d/l of F9 32 and 64 bit
19:59.45Discordianon the 13th
20:14.50Discordiangah
20:15.21Discordianexport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL isn't working for this binary
20:22.05secretlondonDiscordian, isn't that defunct?
20:22.15secretlondonor am I thinking of something else
20:22.30DiscordianIt still works
20:22.34secretlondonhas flashbacks to configuring old Loki games, and you end up using old libs
20:22.49DiscordianI used it for Oracle
20:23.12DiscordianHowever it's not working for this
20:46.32AndyMillarhmm
20:46.33AndyMillarstress -t 2h -c 4 -i 4 -m 4 -d 4 --hdd-bytes 4GB
20:46.39AndyMillarshould give a server a fairly good workout, shouldn't it?
21:28.16Nafallohmm
21:28.26NafalloI ran it with a log more then that :-)
21:28.31Nafallolot even
21:29.37Nafallostress --cpu 100 --io 200 --vm 200
21:29.39Nafallo:-P
21:30.16AndyMillarheh
21:30.20AndyMillarthink it needs that many? :p
21:30.42Nafallowell. I tried less first and the damn thing didn't even bothered :-)
21:31.03Nafallos/did/was/
21:31.20Nafallogood bot! :-D
21:32.40Nafalloibot: botsnack
21:32.40ibotNafallo: thanks
21:38.20AndyMillarNafallo: mmh, in that case i'll ramp it up afterwards ;)
21:38.27AndyMillar--vm 200 seems a little silly though
21:38.30AndyMillaras you'll be swapping
21:38.34AndyMillarwhich is a bit pointless
21:38.42NafalloI had 10GB to swap on :-)
21:38.53Discordiandisk?
21:38.53Nafalloafter 8GB of physical DDR2 :-)
21:39.01DiscordianDisk is slow
21:39.19Nafallo4x15k SAS in hw RAID5 :-)
21:39.29Nafalloas first partition
21:39.36DiscordianI'd be ashamed to use swap in production
21:39.45DiscordianOn Linux anyway
21:40.00AndyMillarheh
21:40.04Nafalloyea. still wanted to try how good it was at using it if necessary :-)
21:40.07AndyMillarthis box has 2GB RAM at the moment
21:40.18AndyMillari'll put more in when it needs it
21:40.30DiscordianOther nixes reserve swap for running processes
21:40.47AndyMillarit's only £130/2GB
