04:41.29 | maquis | what the?????? |
04:42.17 | Newsome | cool! |
04:42.25 | Newsome | try typing "reset" |
04:42.29 | emcnabb | looks like some terminal settings may be messed up |
04:42.29 | maquis | Newsome: mmk |
04:42.40 | emcnabb | Newsome's solution should work :-) |
04:42.43 | maquis | Newsome: that worked |
04:42.44 | maquis | thanks |
04:42.48 | Newsome | np |
04:42.52 | levi | reset is your friend. :) |
04:42.55 | maquis | how do they get messed up like that? |
04:42.57 | levi | I've been using it a lot lately. |
04:43.40 | levi | maquis: Either some program changed the terminal settings and didn't change them back, or some control codes crept into your terminal and screwed it up. |
04:44.03 | levi | s/terminal/pseudo-tty/ |
04:44.19 | levi | s/terminal/pseudo-tty/a |
04:44.21 | maquis | mmk |
04:44.31 | levi | Er, yeah. You know what I mean. |
04:45.01 | maquis | speaking of which, i got a funny error from firefox the other day... |
04:46.07 | maquis | it was telling me that firefox was already running, but i hadn't used firefox yet... |
04:46.10 | maquis | twas weird |
04:46.42 | levi | I've had it do that to me in Windows before. |
04:55.01 | QBFreak_ | I've had windows start firefox and then tell me it couldn't start it |
04:55.18 | QBFreak_ | usually means my default browser preferences are screwed up |
04:55.37 | maquis | nice |
04:56.09 | QBFreak_ | if I reset them it all clears up, only occurs when trying to open FF via a link |

06:03.56 | mheath | Wow |
06:03.58 | mheath | 5 months from tomorrow |
06:04.06 | mheath | This is starting to creep up on me fast =\ |
06:04.18 | QBFreak_ | whats that? |
06:05.11 | mheath | QBFreak_: The day I become SN Heath, USN. |
06:05.50 | levi | mheath: You're just joining the Navy. You'll get out again. I'm going to be a father in less than 4 months. |
06:06.45 | QBFreak_ | mheath: I've got a lot of respect for someone who can do that |
06:06.55 | mheath | levi: My entire life is going to change, and I'll be in for at least 6 years. (Not to try to upstage the significant changes coming to your life) |
06:07.10 | QBFreak_ | levi: congratulations :) |
06:07.13 | maquis | levi: sweet! |
06:07.36 | mheath | Yeah, congratulations. Any speculations on the gender? |
06:07.54 | levi | mheath: Yeah, it really is a big change for you, and I understand the feeling of creeping-up. :) |
06:08.22 | mheath | Basic should be a breeze at this point |
06:08.24 | levi | Unless there was a mis-reading of the ultrasound pictures, it's a girl. |
06:08.39 | mheath | I've literally covered about 75% of what they cover in the classroom portions at this point |
06:08.47 | maquis | levi: daddy's little girl! :) |
06:08.56 | mheath | Plus I'm familiar with drill and ceremony (and rather good at it, if I may say so) |
06:08.58 | Hhhhh | congratz |
06:09.42 | mheath | I don't like the idea that I'm likely to be made RCPO of my division, though =\ |
06:09.51 | mheath | Had a bad experience with that at USNSCC boot camp |
06:10.27 | mheath | Heh, have any of you (not) read Ender's Game? |
06:10.51 | mheath | I've been through, in life, some of what that book goes into |
06:11.02 | mheath | Imagine stepping off a bus with a bunch of other guys in uniform |
06:11.12 | mheath | You fit in, you feel comfortable, you're making friends |
06:11.17 | mheath | You fall into formation together, etc. |
06:11.31 | mheath | Then your DivO decides that *you'd* make a good lead recruit |
06:11.57 | mheath | Suddenly your seperated from the group. In an entirely different world. Trying desperately to 1) gain their respect, and 2) not screw up. |
06:13.25 | QBFreak_ | you'll make it :) |
06:14.03 | mheath | I have once; just not looking forward to the (statistically very likely) possibility I'll have to go through that again at USN basic training |
06:14.37 | mheath | basic training is a very different experience for people put into a position like that, I can tell you. |
06:17.26 | Hhhhh | I think I need Common Lisp training...I'm having problems trying to go to sleep |
06:18.06 | Newsome | well, as long as it isn't basic training. |
06:18.27 | levi | I've actually been doing more Scheme programming lately, since I found an opportunity to use it at work. |
06:19.11 | levi | maquis: Actually, it's been a combination of Scheme and C. Trying to get the two to interface is... interesting. |
06:20.05 | Hhhhh | argh, scheme |
06:20.29 | Hhhhh | you "found" an opportunity to use it at work? |
06:20.46 | Hhhhh | people are running out of excuses to torture themselves |
06:20.46 | levi | Hhhhh: It's fun! |
06:20.56 | levi | Using C++ would be torture. |
06:20.57 | Hhhhh | masoquism++ |
06:21.00 | Hhhhh | heh |
06:21.10 | Hhhhh | I use C++ when the occasion amerits it |
06:22.20 | levi | I also find perl torturous. And tortuous, which is something entirely different! |
06:26.45 | mheath | "Atten-hut! Fall....IN! Dress-Right....Dress! Forward to an immediate column right....march! Forward at a double time......march! Ready, halt! Column files from my right.....march!" |
06:26.46 | mheath | etc |
06:26.54 | mheath | People wonder why I come back from trainings with no voice :) |
06:27.49 | mheath | *hopes |
06:28.03 | Newsome | attention(); fall(in); dress(right); dress(forward) ; dress(GET DRESSED ALREADY); |
06:28.21 | maquis | Newsome: nice! |
06:28.41 | mheath | Dressing == Getting your spacing in formation |
06:29.01 | Newsome | it's not that us civillians think military people are unimaginative morons, but... |
06:29.04 | mheath | "Dress Right" means, space yourselves out, at a single-arm interval, based on the person to your right |
06:29.40 | Newsome | more like..."I'd feel like an unimaginative moron having to take orders like that" |
06:30.01 | mheath | Newsome: You try to move a large group of people in a quick, organized manner. See how far you get. |
06:30.08 | mheath | And get them to all pay attention to what you're saying |
06:30.30 | mheath | And get them to all stay together, so no one gets lost. |
06:32.38 | Newsome | doesn't sound like fun |
06:32.59 | mheath | Thats what formations are for |
06:33.18 | mheath | They allow you to quickly and efficiently make sure everyones present, get everyone to pay attention, and move them. |
06:34.14 | mheath | accountability is critical, and the easiest way to do it is a formation. |
06:34.40 | mheath | I've been in a situation where we've been trying to determine who was missing and who wasn't |
06:34.57 | mheath | Trying to determine who may be literally lost in some unknown location in the forest |
06:36.31 | mheath | Formations are helpful. Critical. |
06:36.45 | mheath | A squad leader can just look down the line and see whos missing |

06:39.24 | Newsome | maybe the other way around |
06:39.28 | maquis | :) |
06:44.37 | QBFreak | it thought I was QBFreak, and now QBFreak is listed as being on this channel twice |
06:52.16 | maquis | QBFreak: around 10:45, you had some network issues, it looks like |
06:57.21 | QBFreak | yeah, twice I've lost connection |
06:57.35 | QBFreak | however not once did my client notice I was QBFreak_ when I came back |
06:58.19 | QBFreak | and so when I did a nick change to drop the _, it changed QBFreak_ to QBFreak, but it didn't know that was me so I now have two QBFreak s listed |
06:58.37 | QBFreak | and I can't for the life of my find my GPA... |
06:59.09 | findlay | 4.0? |
06:59.32 | QBFreak | no, but still good enough to graduate with honors |
07:01.04 | QBFreak | I might have pulled it off, but then I wouldn't have learned as much |
07:01.20 | maquis | QBFreak: byu? if so, then it's > 3.5 iirc |
07:01.56 | QBFreak | yeah, but they want a number for this job application |
07:02.06 | QBFreak | which in all my brilliance I submitted leaving that blank |
07:03.38 | QBFreak | bah, the website has been rearranged since I graduated |
07:04.38 | QBFreak | oo they're doing the live blues next week |
07:05.03 | QBFreak | sadly only at the central campus, thats like 45 minutes away |

07:14.26 | QBFreak | the number of credit hours per semester is the same each semester, can I just average GPAs? |

07:15.54 | QBFreak | its those darned core classes that kept dragging me down :) |
07:16.42 | QBFreak | its funny, you can look at the letter grade and get a good idea what type of class it was... |
07:16.43 | maquis | wish that was my problem |
07:17.31 | maquis | classes like history and english came easily to me... i just don't find them all that interesting |
07:17.39 | QBFreak | that was my problem :) |
07:17.51 | maquis | i can do pretty well in them |
07:18.02 | maquis | cs classes regularly beat me into a pulp |
07:18.02 | QBFreak | maybe not as easy for me, but mostly because I didn't really get into it |
07:18.08 | QBFreak | :( |
07:19.57 | QBFreak | if I'm interested in something I can usually pick it up pretty fast, computers and electronics are about the only thing that interest me though |
07:20.16 | QBFreak | I fought for my B in algebra... |
07:20.47 | QBFreak | ended up taking it online, I was failing in the classroom |
07:23.49 | QBFreak | meh, I can't even make sense of this transcript from the other school |

07:24.27 | findlay | ? |
07:24.38 | maquis | oh |
07:24.42 | maquis | missed your first comment |

07:26.10 | findlay | and Dickens |
07:26.54 | findlay | and Charlotte Bronte and sisters |
07:27.44 | QBFreak | I'm not even supposed to have this transcript, heh |
07:28.06 | findlay | is it an official one? |
07:28.47 | QBFreak | don't know, its a print out from there admin system, it was sealed in an envelope by my advisor because the other school lost the copy that had been sent to them, I was instructed to not open it |
07:29.02 | QBFreak | but to give it to the school if they couldn't get it straightened out |
07:29.26 | TimRiker | http://rikers.org/hp2100/hpDoubleChaser.avi <- latest in old hardware amusements. |

07:31.42 | maquis | or rent? |
07:31.53 | QBFreak | no way, I need every last bit of mine I can get, its too short :) |
07:32.12 | maquis | mine ran away |
07:32.13 | QBFreak | I have been trying to do a simple install of something for two days now... |
07:43.16 | QBFreak | its sad, I got some nifty new technic parts but I havn't had time to get my mindstorms back out |
07:43.28 | QBFreak | ls |

07:46.14 | maquis | mmmmm... mindstorms |
07:46.42 | QBFreak | much fun stuff |
07:51.25 | QBFreak | hmm, this is nice, the build script to make a release from this subversion work area requires commit access....I just want to build a local release *sigh* |
07:57.15 | TimRiker | QBFreak: make a local subversion repository, you can have write access there. ;-) |
07:57.32 | TimRiker | or just hack the release code so it does not need it. |
07:57.56 | QBFreak | I looked at it, but I'm no perl wiz and it was all complicated looking :) |
07:58.16 | QBFreak | I've got a local copy checked out of subversion, I was trying to build that |
07:58.34 | QBFreak | its a hosted site, so I can't just install subversion and use that server or something |
07:59.27 | maquis | QBFreak: cpi;dm |
07:59.29 | maquis | ter |
08:00.14 | QBFreak | you lost me... |
08:00.15 | maquis | couldn't you just set something up to check out of their repository whenever you need it (daily, or whatever), stick it into your own repository, and then use the build-script? |
08:00.28 | QBFreak | afaik thats exactly what I'm doing |
08:00.31 | maquis | stupid off-by-one typing errors |
08:00.39 | QBFreak | yeah, thats what I figured happened :) |
08:00.47 | maquis | :) |
08:01.00 | QBFreak | I'm running the build script in my checked-out copy, but it wants to check some of it back in first |
08:01.22 | maquis | huh? |
08:01.26 | maquis | why? |
08:01.30 | QBFreak | I doubt anyone but the developers with commit access have actually tried to use the build script |
08:01.55 | maquis | stupid |
08:01.55 | QBFreak | its all perl so you can actually run an install right out of the check out dir |
08:01.59 | maquis | comment out that section? |
08:02.11 | QBFreak | I glanced at it, I was having trouble making sense of it all |
08:02.46 | maquis | grep it for their server...? |
08:04.33 | QBFreak | limit yourself to just a nap between now and then? |
08:05.25 | QBFreak | <PROTECTED> |
08:05.25 | QBFreak | <PROTECTED> |
08:05.35 | QBFreak | thats nice to know... |
08:07.49 | QBFreak | aahhh, I wish this was clear in the docs...if you name the release it checks it in, if you don't it wont |
08:07.55 | QBFreak | sheesh |
08:17.13 | findlay | TimRiker: where do you get all that old hardware? |
09:06.40 | TimRiker | findley left... but at the Univ of TX in Dallas. Some students got it in salvage and gave it to me. |
09:18.08 | maquis | stupid scary movies |
09:19.42 | maquis | wow... |
09:19.51 | QBFreak | howso? |
09:20.16 | maquis | erm... looks like a coule inches of snow, and more falling at a rather speedy rate |
09:20.24 | maquis | last time i looked outside it was completely dry |
09:20.28 | QBFreak | wow |

16:52.33 | Hhhhh | then he should have said that |

16:53.34 | Hhhhh | yea, that was funny |
16:54.20 | lukfugl | My guess is that the similarity between "monad" and another *onad word is what sjansen is thinking of :) |
16:55.12 | sjansen | No, I'm referring to non-native English speakers who haven't been been exposed to the academic language more than the culture language and as a result don't realize that certain words are more dangerous in a broader public setting. |

16:55.56 | sjansen | (What lukfugl said in fewer words.) |

17:48.10 | tensai | levi: hmm. that sounds like somebody else we know... |
17:48.17 | synic | can someone recommend a hardware based load balancer? |
17:48.27 | levi | tensai: Indeed. |
17:48.33 | tensai | synic: foundry serveriron. they rock. and they're expensive. |
17:48.44 | levi | tensai: I try not to dissuade him anymore, either. |
17:49.08 | levi | tensai: It's much more rewarding to sit back and enjoy the show, now that I know that interaction is futile. |
17:49.08 | synic | tensai: how do you go about getting redundancy in the load balancer itself? |
17:50.22 | tensai | synic: meaning you want a second load balancer in case the first one fails? |
17:50.53 | synic | tensai: yeah... we really only want load balancing for redundancy |
17:51.27 | sjansen | tensai, levi: You're making fun of me again, aren't you? |
17:52.08 | mrpull- | is procmail+exim on debian as simple as it appears? |
17:52.18 | jsmith | synic: Go look at the F5s as well ... or a used Alteon... |
17:52.20 | mrpull- | i haven't used procmail for 2-3 years and that was on RH+Sendmail |
17:52.35 | jsmith | synic: How much traffic? |
17:52.36 | tensai | mrpull: yes. create a .procmailrc and it'll Just Work(tm) |
17:53.28 | levi | sjansen: Well, we didn't mention anyone specifically, but if you think the shoe fits... ;) |
17:53.29 | mrpull- | tensai: and a /etc/procmailrc for global rules? |
17:54.07 | synic | jsmith: currently about 400,000 hits a day, 150GB a month |
17:54.09 | mrpull- | the package isn't even installed right now. If i add it will it make the exim config changes? (I could read the docs, but i'm being lazy) |
17:54.18 | sjansen | levi: You'll get yours, just wait! |
17:54.47 | graphyx | synic: Would a webserver cluster not do what you are looking for? |
17:54.47 | tensai | mrpull: the debian exim config has the procmail config by default |
17:54.58 | mrpull- | cool. thanks. that is what I was looking for. |
17:55.09 | synic | graphyx: maybe. could you go into this further? |
17:55.10 | mrpull- | now i'll have to brush up on the syntax :-/ |
17:55.19 | synic | graphyx: we're just looking into solutions |
17:55.43 | mrpull- | synic: if your budget is ~$0, look at ultramonkey.org |
17:55.58 | mrpull- | if you have ~$50K, look at F5 BigIP's |
17:56.27 | synic | mrpull: I've been to ultramonkey.org, but I must be missing something. |
17:56.42 | synic | we have 4 servers... and just want redundancy |
17:56.43 | mrpull- | synic: cisco's CSS's are about $12K for a redundant pair and work nicely for fairly static configs |
17:57.05 | synic | currently traffic isn't high enough to need load balancing for... well, load balancing |
17:57.34 | tensai | I've only ever used the foundry, but they're rock solid. a 24 port serveriron xl goes for ~3,000. |
17:57.45 | mrpull- | synic: I assume you don't need SSL acceleration |
17:57.53 | synic | mrpull: no |
17:57.53 | tensai | I don't know about clustering them, though |
17:58.00 | mrpull- | tensai: $3K? |

17:58.36 | tensai | ah, used I mean of course. |
17:58.50 | tensai | that's about what we buy ours for |
17:59.17 | mrpull- | tensai: ahh, used is the magic word |
18:00.15 | graphyx | A server cluster is basically a group of web servers that act as one. |
18:00.23 | graphyx | And if you need more power you just add to the cluster. |
18:00.43 | graphyx | for redundancy issues if one goes down, the rest just take up the load. |
18:00.50 | mrpull- | graphyx: you mean "one type of server cluster is".... |
18:00.56 | synic | graphyx: have a URL handy? |
18:01.38 | graphyx | synic: no. |
18:01.48 | graphyx | mrpull- yeah, that. |
18:01.56 | synic | k |
18:02.05 | tensai | you can cheat and get similar results with dns round robin, but a hardware solution is much more elegant |
18:02.17 | tensai | you could also use heartbeat to have an active/standby system |
18:03.57 | mrpull- | synic: heartbeat is part of the ultramonkey package |
18:04.02 | synic | ah. |
18:04.45 | mrpull- | synic: if you can tolerate not having 24x7 support, buying a pair of used BigIP from ebay may be the best option (~$5K) |
18:05.07 | graphyx | would that be not having 24x7 support or not having support at all? |
18:05.36 | mrpull- | graphyx: depends on circumstances, but most used F5 gear isn't supported at all |
18:05.48 | graphyx | synic: Check out this url: http://www.tldp.org/linuxfocus/English/November2000/article179.meta.shtml |
18:05.55 | synic | ok |
18:06.01 | mrpull- | also be careful to make sure you don't buy products that have been EOL'ed by F5 |

20:44.26 | harleypig | Jayce^: *sigh* How much is it? |
20:44.42 | graphyx | harleypig: You ever played natural selection? |
20:45.16 | harleypig | graphyx: Don't think so ... that's where you give a bunch of gangsta kids a fully loaded weapon and let them play russion roulette? |
20:45.23 | graphyx | no.. |
20:45.28 | graphyx | It's a half life mod like counter strike. |
20:45.34 | graphyx | marine vs. alien.s |
20:45.43 | graphyx | with a RTS twist. |
20:45.52 | harleypig | never even heard of it. RTS? can't place the acronym |
20:45.59 | harleypig | Is it a free mod? |
20:46.02 | Jayce^ | real time strategy |
20:46.06 | graphyx | Real Time Strategy. |
20:46.10 | harleypig | oh, like wow? |
20:46.13 | Jayce^ | no |
20:46.20 | Jayce^ | like original warcraft |
20:46.36 | harleypig | ? What is wow then? |
20:46.53 | Jayce^ | mmorpg |
20:47.10 | graphyx | harleypig: And you call yourself a geek??? |
20:47.55 | graphyx | harleypig: Whats FPS? |
20:48.06 | graphyx | you have 2 potential answers both are acceptable. |
20:48.19 | graphyx | bonus points for naming them both. |
20:48.48 | jsmith | First Person Shooter, or Frames per second |
20:49.20 | harleypig | graphyx: I know what fps is! I just couldn't place the stoopid acronym! You and Jayce^ |

20:54.21 | hans | realtime experts? |
20:54.23 | mrpull- | i use http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=229052 to automate the email routing to queues |
20:54.36 | harleypig | Really Tricky |
20:54.42 | mrpull- | but i'd like to use procmail to filter some messages |
20:54.43 | harleypig | Rag Tag |

20:54.52 | harleypig | Really Truly |
20:55.03 | harleypig | Hhhhh: congrats |
20:55.07 | mrpull- | procmail only works for local mailboxes and not for the RT queues |
20:55.07 | Hhhhh | love linux as an embedded OS ;) |
20:56.40 | Jayce^ | mrpull-, not too sure about exim, but if you could pipe the data through procmail, or maybe a script with Mail::Audit (very ncie) |

21:13.48 | lars-ut | wow - looks like it's back to Royal for $80 |
21:13.56 | levi | What's this tone generator thing? |
21:14.04 | lars-ut | helps you find pairs |
21:14.23 | QBFreak | is it anything more complicated than say a small tape player? :) |
21:14.46 | QBFreak | oh, I bet it helps you tell when you get close doesn't it? |
21:14.56 | levi | Is that one of the gadgets you hook to one end and wave a wand around on the other? |
21:15.04 | lars-ut | yep. plug it into a jack or clip on to wires & sends a 60Hz tone through them that can be amplified on the other |
21:15.27 | lars-ut | well anywhere along the wires actually |
21:15.40 | QBFreak | ah ok, that makes sense as to the price :) |
21:15.56 | lars-ut | not to me - think this was $40 2 years ago |
21:16.10 | QBFreak | I mean more sense than a few dollars :) |
21:16.16 | lars-ut | ah. |
21:16.40 | lars-ut | ~weather kpvu |
21:16.48 | levi | OK, yeah, I used one of those before. Very handy when you have a rat's nest of cables and no labels indicating which wall outlets correspond to patch panel ports... |
21:16.50 | QBFreak | if you're going end to end you can get away with a portable radio or something, some aligator clips and a speaker :) |
21:17.03 | lars-ut | lol |
21:17.40 | lars-ut | "hey, is that Stan Ridgeway?" |
21:17.44 | QBFreak | its all just wire :) |
