up_the_irons: when do you think the vps going to be provisioned?
au: now
yay
up_the_irons: will you charge my credit card another $5 at the start of next month?
au: no, it'll be the full amount at the start of the next month, see the following for explanation: http://support.arpnetworks.com/faqs/billing/when-is-the-start-of-the-billing-cycle
ah yes, that's what I meant
:)
ooh
fast server
it's new
up_the_irons: are you around?
au: going to bed actually
would you be able to do a quick reinstall for me? I *accidently* hit ctrl + c during an upgrade to 9.10 and now it won't boot
au: can you just use VNC?
not sure why a reinstall is necessary
http://support.arpnetworks.com/faqs/vps/out-of-band-management
I'm logged in via vnc at the moment
au: alright, lemme see how fast i can do this
thanks!
;)
au: vps uuid please :)

i just bought one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101262
testing the "same day" shipping too
should have it when i wake up.. LOL
au: DONE
:D
four minutes
you really can't beat that :)
woah
very good, thanks a lot :)
nice little server :)
very good value, too
au: no problem
i wonder if we can get them in the uk... *goes hunting*
bob^^: glad you like 'em
always liked the little supermicro boxes, been really reliable when i've used them in the past
you can only put 2gb ram in that server
well, not "only"
2gb is alot
yeah, it's more for a little appliance/'one task' box
nice little home server
yeah i plan to use it just for nagios and vpn
ideal :D
2gb is plenty for that
opsview ;)
:)
nagios with nice frontend :D
RAM is too expensive these days anyway :(
which os, up_the_irons?
alrighty guys, i gotta run
cd $bed
nn :)
night
let us know how that little supermicro goes :)
I feel like I'm about to die
up_the_irons: you'll love it, i'm loving mine still
amdprophet: it just arrived :)  got same day shipping; man, what a trip!  I ordered it early this morning and I already have it
awesome!
i called apple yesterday because my macbook charger melted about a year ago, and my macbook is about 2 years out of warranty now too... they sent me a new one for free and it already arrived
today is an awesome day so far
amdprophet: nice :)
amdprophet: i bought 2 CF-SATA adapters and will try to use the RAID 1 on the MB of the Atom box
amdprophet: i prefer this somewhat to using the addonics ones w/ built-in raid, because i feel i could get more status info on the RAID, from within the OS
i half way wonder why i don't just pop in a USB flash drive and use it instead
performance perhaps...
i got two 8GB CF cards at 266, so it claims 40MB/s
sweet!
afternoon
au: you in melbourne?
