nah not really
ballen: this is the thing, instead of ensuring a single piece of hardware can never break (very costly), build an architecture that can keep going with failure (cheaper, if you can do it)
also LDOMs are fun
don't have the room, power or time
but we have the money
gotcha
LOL
true dat
our tax dollars are going to sun!
yep
good cause though
biomass energy research
ahh, thought it was the redneck good cause, blaming arabs for everything, even things they're not behind.
but yea, that's cool
i was thinking today, how much would it take out of private citizens pockets to build solar power plants
and "if we all band together" we could create our own utility
yeaaa more fun thing is they're trying to figure out how to genetically engineer plants to make them more suitable for biomass
I'm waiting for them to come up with something that takes over the world
too much fucking with life man
nah
where does it end ?
never
history has shown that
plant that you eat, records your thoughts in your body, goes back to it's source and deposits our thoughts into a MSSQL database? :D
i'm down with mssql, by the time they know i need to take a dump, i'd have been done
lmao
as long as they use MSSQL we have no issues
i think we're heading to hell, very soon
hahah
yea, seriously
hell... like biblical hell... or metaphorical hell
eh, biblical hell, na
i dont believe in satan to be honest
then again my friend the other day said, what if this was satan's world and we were trying to be good people
when we were talking about all the high powered people who've doomed a lot of people since the beginning of mankind
meh nah
I guess it holds true to the meaning and traditional sense of Hell

Ok so heres something I don't get... there's this girl in my suggestions on Facebook that I have 79 mutual friends with.
I have NO clue who she is
I even asked a few of my friends... cannot recall her at all
how is this even remotely possible
she's cute too... which makes the fact that I don't know her even more unreasonable
btw... looks like Facebook's latest permissions thing defaults to letting everyone see all your profiles pictures
LOL
yup, those are the defaults
i turned it off
actually, wait.. wasn't the default "Friends of Friends" ?
i still don't like that, I made it the "Old Setting"
srsly though... 79 mutual friends
crossing all the 'ol high school friends "groups"
i want to install a webcam pointed right at my servers so I can see the lights blink
i think that'd be fun
last year I spent over $1500 on security cameras (and got 2 *HOT* Axis cameras), and they are still sitting on my desk
well prolly should use em
I was thinking of getting an alarm for my server rooms
something obnoxious
hehe
ever see a room monitor that can listen to the room's dB level
need a good way to listen for belts going on a chiller
i haven't
amdprophet: hey - yes, I'm in Vancouver
something like vimperator for Google Chrome http://www.chromeextensions.org/other/vimlike-smooziee/
Not sure I want to install that but may steal the keybindings. Wonder if I can get Chrome to build on FreeBSD now.
also: http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/keyboardnavigation/
Hmnn, no source available directly for the latter, pass
sroute: sweet, i'm out in cloverdale
pleased to "meet" you
i found something nice for in my bathroom :-P

checking out some things
ctgX: if your VPS completely freezes, you can shut it down and boot it back up from the Portal
oh, didnt know that
really?
yeah
since when was that implemented
should make like a newsletter or something
deployed on 11-30-09
keep me up to date on shiat
i generally tweet new features
however
this feature seemed so basic (like I should have already had it), I didn't bother
of course I haven't needed to reboot... nor really touch my VMs in months
ah
c2   [Sun Dec 13 02:32:41 2009]  ERROR     Drive timeout detected: port
thanks Seagate
yaaaay Seeeeagate
for not putting TLER in your "normal" drives
TLER?
time limited error recovery
yep
which is
Western Digital took it out of their drives too, and make you pay 50% premium if  you want it back (makes the drive "RAID Edition")
hah
I'd just start using SSD drives ;-)
$$$
gotta look at IOP/$
;-)
Wouldn't you like 1M IOPs out of a 1U tray?
$$$
;)
I want to get a hold of one of the Sun SSD trays
hook it up to one of the M400s
M4000s
then figure out a use for it
wonder if they'd mind if I have a slide during my thesis defense that just says BECAUSE
LOL
New Belgium Brewery FTW
shutdown/reboot did the trick up_the_irons, nice feature, that.
you can disregard my support email, thanks :)
ctgX: :)
cool
