where :P
Arenlor: I wonder if the people in Dubai were surprised that it was renamed, or if they expected it.
RonnyBarber: is it renamed? i thought it was burj dubai
Arenlor: They renamed it shortly after it was opened today.
RonnyBarber: oo okay. i missed the opening :P
many people suicided on that building
blue collar workers
who's passports have been taken
its sad
Arenlor: I can't remember, where are they building the tower that's going to be taller than Burj? I think Hong Kong.
RonnyBarber: and 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

funny seeing you here
IPv6Freely: yea strange huh
jlgaddis: you gonna get a vps?
IPv6Freely: maybe someday... im on shared hosting now, but its free...
mostly just checking things out now
up_the_irons: where have I heard of IPv6Freely before...
IPv6Freely: twitter
-: up_the_irons looks
IPv6Freely: you added me a while ago
up_the_irons: ah, indeed
IPv6Freely: i like the idea of a VPS, but im also far too lazy to manage one :P
jlgaddis: it's just another bsd box :P
IPv6Freely: yea i know
but then i have to do updates and stuff
jlgaddis: i've already got two people to sign up
hope up_the_irons don't screw everything up and make me look bad =)
IPv6Freely: haha
hope hes giving you a good referral bonus ;)
up_the_irons: LOL
IPv6Freely: :D
jlgaddis: after 500 signups maybe he'll buy me a beer

jlgaddis: naked man riding an ostrich through the park?
oh
RandalSchwartz: turns 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
up_the_irons: hah
rsync will choke on 900k, pretty sure
RandalSchwartz: no - it was trying really hard
and getting there

up_the_irons: yeah, i mean, it'll do it, but slowly
RandalSchwartz: but 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
up_the_irons: i still gotta play with ZFS; been hearing a _lot_ about it
RandalSchwartz: was a lot of it in the last few days? :)
like me whining? :)
up_the_irons: no no, i've heard it for months ;)
someone at work here says he played with it on Solaris, and really liked it
jeev: im getting 10gbit to my house to ensure my irc doesn't lose connectivity!

jeev: what happens if you accidently call an iridium number and leave it on the hook
RandalSchwartz: "on the hook"?
you mean hung up?
or off the hook?
as in a call in progress?
jeev: yea
in progres
s
RandalSchwartz: I think you just get to keep talking, right?
jeev: no, if you forget
RandalSchwartz: until "the gap" goes overhead
jeev: you know how expensive it is?
RandalSchwartz: yes I worked on iridium
and yes, there's a gap
jeev: vonage charges something like 9 bux a minute to call iridium
why? cause it's a sat ELITE ?
RandalSchwartz: so 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
jeev: 4.5 HOURS ?
even the piece of shit http://www.globalstarusa.com/en/airtime/
isn't that long
RandalSchwartz: no 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
jeev: i thought you meant downtime is 4.5 hours
at a time
you're turning me into you

jlgaddis: any 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...
up_the_irons: jlgaddis: 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
