08:56.44Leedsyay, typhoon warning...  a pretty minor one, it's true, but still
09:04.50boudiccastypoon tea, the nations favourite tea :)
09:06.39Leedsalways find it funny that they sell Yorkshire Tea in M&S here... shades of coals to Newcastle
09:07.17wethrinHey, sometimes one really wants a cup of builders' tea
09:07.28boudiccasYorkshire Tea is nice, the best there is i reckon
09:08.18wethrinI disagree. I very much like Darjeeling
09:08.31LeedsI drink cold pre-made green and lemon tea, daily
09:08.36wethrinbut. Sometimes I do want a Builders'. In which case, Yorkshire is good
09:08.40wethrinew, cold tea
09:08.52Leedsas in chilled, not just cold
09:09.12Leedsan attempt to get away from living on fizzy stuff
09:09.14boudiccaspresumably without milk in it?
09:10.01Leedsno milk... the lemon stuff is sweetened, sometimes, but green shouldn't be - they do sell it with honey though
09:24.43mtdI feel this conversation is off-topic; please return to the more important issues of how to do linear extrapolation of useless sexism statistics.
09:25.06mtdLeeds: matcha lattes are great, and quite authentic
09:25.30Leedser... what?
09:27.39mtdLeeds: no milk in green tea is not a dictum shared by the japanese.
09:28.21Leedsit's pretty universal here... only black tea gets milk
09:31.52mtdLeeds: sure, I know.  I just mention because I was surprised to learn that fact. I always thought the matcha lattes at Eat and Starbucks were a western corruption of green tea until recently...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matcha
09:32.57Leedsyeah, it's commonly used as a flavouring too

10:31.03DominicI wouldn't know, maybe you want a different Dominic? :)
10:31.23wethrineh, he asks random people where other random people are
10:31.32wethrinyou learn to ignore it :)
10:32.31antiphaseThe wonder of /ignore

11:31.19haliz00dax: do you still need sparc dev kit for centos? i may have a few 1/2u netras spare
11:36.16z00daxhali: something moderately quick perhaps ?
11:36.26z00daxthe 4xnetra t105's are starting to struggle a bit
11:36.33haliz00dax: netra 240 ... 2x1.28ghz / 4 gb
11:36.34z00daxbe nice to replace them if we can, with something better
11:36.36hali2u
11:36.44z00daxhumm yes, that would be nice.
11:37.12halinot 100% sure they have rack kits
11:37.16halithink they have 2x72gb
11:40.39z00dax2x73g would be good. rail kit might get interesting.. we'd need atleast *some* rails
11:40.57halithey may have two-post rails
11:41.01halias they are telco grade netras
11:41.41halii can possibly dig out some other rails from the cupboards
11:42.15antiphaseWho'd use that slow old power-hungry crap any more?
11:42.50halidevelopers?
11:42.58halidue to the lack of spare free t-series hardware

12:08.08cpufreakbrain dead question of the day.
12:08.14cpufreakon a box, free shows:
12:08.15cpufreak[andym@hampdb09 ~]$ free -g total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
12:08.17morsingsucks on dick
12:08.19cpufreakMem:            62         58          4          0          0          2
12:08.21cpufreak-/+ buffers/cache:         55          7
12:08.24cpufreakso 55gig is used in buffers/cache.
12:08.37cpufreakwill that automatically become free as I use memory for other stuff?
12:13.38*** part/#gllug morsing (i=morsing@93.93.131.95)
12:17.02haliyes, freed when anything actually allocated
12:17.05haliis it an oracle box?
12:17.12Leeds55gig???
12:17.28cpufreakhali: yes
12:17.38cpufreaksmall, test box
12:18.00halicpufreak: alter system set filesystemio_options='SetAll' scope=spfile;
12:18.09halito get direct io to avoid fs caching
12:18.18halior you'll get double caching
12:18.25haliboth in ext3(?) and in oracle buffer cache
12:22.05halibetter to assign memory as sga
12:22.13z00daxhali: yes, interest around. let me know
12:30.04dick_turpinVMware-Console on opensuse connecting to CentOS VMware-Server whats this error mean? Unable to connect to the remote host: 501 Global command GLOBAL server-vmdb to non-host agent targets not supported.
12:30.33dick_turpinIn laymans terms
12:43.15cpufreakhali: don't have localfilesystems
12:43.20cpufreakeither raw devices, or nfs
12:49.36hali55gig seems like a lot then
12:50.24haliif you are using netapps and 11g you may want to try oracles direct nfs client, where oracle does nfs nativly
12:55.55haliit's pretty cool
13:03.04cpufreakI'll ask nigel, one of my dbas
13:03.11cpufreakwe're testing 11gR2
13:10.51cpufreakhrm
