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 =]

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 up_the_irons: or a brewery jlgaddis: that'd work too IPv6Freely: :D RandalSchwartz: well, that was funny. ***: schmir has quit IRC (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) RandalSchwartz: rsync wanted to copy 900K files from my old box 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 ***: schmir` has quit IRC (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) 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! jlgaddis: only 10gig?
i'm having optical gear put in, for 32x10gig lambda's
i'm goign to start my own internets jeev: eh

EditDNS switched to paid service
need suggestions for free dns services mhoran: Ruh roh. -: mhoran uses ZoneEdit. ballen: have they been reliable? mhoran: No troubles in the 6+ years I've been using them.
mike-burns uses them as well. ballen: cool mhoran: Can't speak to their control panel, I just have them slave off my server.

stupid dns up_the_irons: holy crap, 38 nicks in here, i think that is a record ballen: prolly up_the_irons: jlgaddis: interesting, none the less; what are you running sflow on ? ballen: mhoran, control panel is out of the 90's but it gets the job done mhoran: Word. jlgaddis: up_the_irons: a piece of shit procurve

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
