ooh, nice.  rails app?
using Scanty (Sinatra based blog) and Redis for a db
ah sweet, sinatra rocks
yea
Woah, woah, woah.
Ben Allen?
ya
It's a damn small world.
I used to work with Ron.
where abouts?
Cisco.
Right on
Yeah. Back when you guys were just starting the blog.
ah
Still reading it!
bitchin
yea haven't done much updating these days
to much work, and thesis work
Yeah. My personal projects have fallen to the wayside, too.
ugh moving my Rails app (benallenphoto.com) to rails 2.3.3 so I can use Ruby 1.9
Ooh, sounds like fun.
I'll be back. Time to drink with the rest of the office ...
sounds good
www.arpnetworks.com is Sinatra (portal is Rails) <-- delayed msg cuz my internet died, yay TW RR
right on
wow, u guys know each other? LOL
yea right now we use Mephisto for a blog engine
hah yea he knows my roommate Ron
nice, me too on scie.nti.st
haha
small world
quite
gotta run, packing for a small vacation, bbl
later man, quick question is there any benifit to 32bit over 64 in your env
probably is more tested, but actually i386 on FreeBSD 7.2 kp's within ffs_valloc.  Only with 7.2 though.  guys who have recompiled their kernels seemed to have eliminated this problem.  but the stock kernel has it
hmm, was hoping to be a bit more memory efficient
also, non-open-source binaries tend to favor 32 bit (like they just decide not to give you the 64 bit version), so this can create a dependency problem
do you have many people running 32 bit VMs?
ballen: well, if u ever go above 4G RAM, 64 bit is the way to go (no PAE needed)
ballen: yeah, on FreeBSD 7.1, or OpenBSD
yea I know that, but with 768 64 is not needed
true
plus programs should use less memory in 32 bit
and be slightly quicker
however
if its just translating into a 64 bit env on the host OS
in a benchmark, yes, but in practice it would hardly be noticeable
the host is 64 bit
yea
cuz it has way more than 4G of ram;)
heh I'd hope so
:)
cool, I'll stick with 64 bit then
I'm pleased with the setup so I'll be sticking around
awesome :)
does the portal support multiple users for single VM
(feel free to take off if you need to pack)
ballen: fill out https://www.arpnetworks.com/order when u get a chance, so I have your billing info
k
yeah, i gotta pack :)  be on later
your SSL cert comes up root not trusted in Safari btw
glad u like your VM :)
k talk to ya later, I'll get in the order info
yeah, dumb godaddy cert chain, i gotta fix that
ok tnx
irons out
I just switched the company blog off of Mephisto.
Mephisto is barely maintained anymore. A shame really.
yep
that's why we're moving
that and Scanty is something like 670 lines
and I can use Redis
Word.
I've never used Sinatra but what I've seen looks nice.
up_the_irons: do you let customers have a PTR record for thier IP
