up_the_ironsI have finally figured out how to extend the timeout on the BIOS "Press F12 for boot menu" selection
when all else fails, Use The Source(tm)

and the wishes of all others who have complained about the short timeout

RonnyBarberbig tower?
where :P
[08:44]
ArenlorI wonder if the people in Dubai were surprised that it was renamed, or if they expected it. [08:47]
RonnyBarberis it renamed? i thought it was burj dubai [08:47]
ArenlorThey renamed it shortly after it was opened today. [08:48]
RonnyBarberoo okay. i missed the opening :P
many people suicided on that building
blue collar workers
who's passports have been taken
its sad
[08:48]
ArenlorI can't remember, where are they building the tower that's going to be taller than Burj? I think Hong Kong. [08:51]
RonnyBarberand then again.. dubai because their mentality is "we are the biggest, we are the best"
though they can't do anything themselves and need americans and europeans for engineering and technology =]
and other asians for enslaving

IPv6Freelyyou added me a while ago [13:16]
up_the_ironsah, indeed [13:16]
IPv6Freelyi like the idea of a VPS, but im also far too lazy to manage one :P [13:17]
jlgaddisit's just another bsd box :P [13:17]
IPv6Freelyyea i know
but then i have to do updates and stuff
[13:18]

RandalSchwartzrsync wanted to copy 900K files from my old box [13:22]
jlgaddisnaked man riding an ostrich through the park?
oh
[13:23]
RandalSchwartzturns out 600K of them were Cache::FileCache handling my incoming email
just to record message-id for de-duping
since 2007
forgot to set up the cron job to clean it
[13:23]
up_the_ironshah
rsync will choke on 900k, pretty sure
[13:23]
RandalSchwartzno - it was trying really hard
and getting there
[13:23]
***schmir` has quit IRC (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) [13:24]
up_the_ironsyeah, i mean, it'll do it, but slowly [13:24]
RandalSchwartzbut after 20 minutes of seeing all these files go by, I said WTF, and realized what happened
I'm *really* liking the depth of FreeBSD ports, and having ZFS for root disk
it's still gonna take me a good weekend or two to get moved over
[13:24]
up_the_ironsi still gotta play with ZFS; been hearing a _lot_ about it [13:25]
RandalSchwartzwas a lot of it in the last few days? :)
like me whining? :)
[13:27]
up_the_ironsno no, i've heard it for months ;)
someone at work here says he played with it on Solaris, and really liked it
[13:28]

RandalSchwartzok - I'm convinced I have to write my own ZFS snapshot manager now [16:45]
jeevwhat happens if you accidently call an iridium number and leave it on the hook [16:46]
RandalSchwartz"on the hook"?
you mean hung up?
or off the hook?
as in a call in progress?
[16:46]
jeevyea
in progres
s
[16:46]
RandalSchwartzI think you just get to keep talking, right? [16:46]
jeevno, if you forget [16:47]
RandalSchwartzuntil "the gap" goes overhead [16:47]
jeevyou know how expensive it is? [16:47]
RandalSchwartzyes I worked on iridium
and yes, there's a gap
[16:47]
jeevvonage charges something like 9 bux a minute to call iridium
why? cause it's a sat ELITE ?
[16:47]
RandalSchwartzso it's not possible to have a continuous call
there will be a time when no sat is overhead
about once every 4.5 hours if I recall
it's because there's a "seam" where the birds are heading "up" on one side and 'down' on the other
and you can't handoff between
[16:47]
jeev4.5 HOURS ?
even the piece of shit http://www.globalstarusa.com/en/airtime/
isn't that long
[16:48]
RandalSchwartzno no
it'll drop the call
just for a few minutes
until the sats in the other direction pick it up
but you can't handoff acrross the seam
[16:49]
jeevi thought you meant downtime is 4.5 hours
at a time
you're turning me into you

jlgaddisany of you guys dick w/ mysql? what's the best way to store an ip address? i'm thinking inet_aton and using an unsigned int would be best... [18:45]
up_the_ironsjlgaddis: i have an ip_blocks table and I store the network portion in "decimal(39,0) unsigned" and the prefix is just a string
jlgaddis: the decimal is large to be able to handle IPv6 as well as IPv4 blocks
