| 08:33.48 | wethrin | hi |
| 10:29.58 | yaMatt | ]alright? |
| 11:00.52 | hali | right alright |
| 11:01.02 | hali | playing with veritas netbackup deduplication |
| 11:01.03 | yaMatt | hwos it going hali? |
| 11:01.12 | hali | deduplication is the nutts |
| 11:01.21 | hali | saving so much disk space in my backup staging pool |
| 11:01.27 | yaMatt | veritas? Robert Kilroy Silk is a software developer? |
| 11:01.46 | hali | symantec these days i guess |
| 11:02.19 | yaMatt | so it looks for duplicate files and syncs them? |
| 11:03.02 | hali | yes, even blocks |
| 11:03.55 | hali | we have some fsa regulated policy where we have to back up all files on certain servers (even /usr) |
| 11:04.13 | hali | so on 5 machines running rhel5u3 it will only need to store one copy of /usr |
| 11:04.20 | hali | saving 80% |
| 11:04.27 | yaMatt | wow, cool |
| 11:04.47 | hali | ok, im ranting, how are you? |
| 11:05.31 | yaMatt | heh, no, sounds handy |

| 11:35.49 | ChoHag | Nope. |
| 11:36.49 | ChoHag | They said I didn't know enough about virtualisation or networking. |
| 11:36.57 | ChoHag | Not that they really asked me anything about either. |

| 16:37.36 | Leeds | mate of mine here has announced that his brother, in Thailand - who I've met once - has swine flu |
| 16:38.49 | cpufreak | loads of people at work have it |
| 16:43.10 | antiphase | oinks |
| 16:43.34 | cpufreak | yeh you definitely have it |
| 16:43.47 | cpufreak | need some disinfectant, I suggest beer. |
| 16:54.54 | yaMatt | my gfs cousins who came over from singapore got it here |
| 16:55.09 | yaMatt | well, most likely, they all have a bad cold |
| 16:58.55 | rhowe | ponders how well a plastic bag beneath his cycle helmet will protect his stitches from the rain |
| 17:00.44 | wethrin | not very |
| 17:00.51 | wethrin | glad to see you're back and okay, though |
| 17:01.17 | cpufreak | how about a hairnet? |
| 17:01.19 | cpufreak | erm thingy |
| 17:01.22 | cpufreak | shower cap |
| 17:01.26 | cpufreak | works for women in the shower |
| 17:03.39 | rhowe | haven't got one in the office, strangely enough |
| 17:03.56 | rhowe | I think I've made a decent attempt at a head protector |
| 17:06.20 | cpufreak | do you n ot have showers in your office? |
| 17:06.23 | cpufreak | other girls in your office to ask? |
| 17:17.55 | j0nr | anyone able to shed some light on getting a netgear pcmcia wireless card working? |
| 17:18.21 | j0nr | I have installed the drivers using ndiswrapper...but i think wpa_supplicant and ndiswrapper dont like each other (or something to that effect) |
| 17:24.29 | antiphase | Is it really PCMCIA or is it a PC Card? </pedant> |
| 17:32.55 | j0nr | afaik its PCMCIA... credit card sized device in a slot in the side of my laptop |
| 17:33.03 | j0nr | netgear WG511v2 |
| 17:34.04 | j0nr | not sure what the diff is |
| 17:42.33 | antiphase | PCMCIA predates the 32-bit PC Cards |
| 17:43.01 | antiphase | Get it stolen and use the insurance money to buy a supported card. Job done :P |
| 17:59.28 | j0nr | its so annoying tho.... it sees the networks.... i think its just a problem with ndiswrapper drivers not being happy or something |
| 17:59.35 | j0nr | its just not authenticating with wpa |
| 17:59.43 | j0nr | it works if i turn off wpa on the router |
| 18:29.33 | j0nr | actually it doesnt |
| 18:29.40 | j0nr | am looking for a usb dongle |
