seems like a lot of route flappage overnight
My normally stable freenode connection dropped
and I can't reach some parts of the net this morning from my home
I was also streaming some tv overnight, and that stopped too
Uhm... Guys
I was about to order a new fan to my laptop from IBMs web shop. The fan itself cost 122 SEK (incl. VAT)
"Oh! Cheap!"
They added shipping (143 SEK) and taxes (53 SEK I think)
The total cost for the fan would be over 265 SEK
WTF!? :P
are you getting it from mars? :)
No
From IBMs website :;P
:P
hi!  i just got my FreeBSD VPS set up with arp. \o/
NTP doesn't work (for obvious reasons) but I don't know of a good solution. anyone have advice?
what are the obvious reasons?
virtual machines aren't good at keeping time because the cpu lurches forward a lot.
openntp
oh, I didn't know that
that might explain a few things
openntp works better on virtual machines?
well I don't know.. it's just what I use
that's a ringing endorsement :)
does openntp have something like ntpdc?  I usuallly run "ntpdc -c peers" to check the status of things.
afternoon

I'm able to run dynamips with no issue on my VPS. Not a big lab, but decent.
yay for installing 8.1 with zfs root on my VPS
Yeah!
I'm still on 8.0.. been up 199 days.
I tried the zfs root thing, not worth the trouble :P
really isn't that much trouble at all
asdf
anyone around
yes
go to sleep ballen. haha
noo
I need to build a small data center
well retrofit current space
just need to convince my bosses boss and his boss to give us money for it
sounds like a fun project to me!
then find space we can steal from another group, then make sure everyone is one board for doing it correctly
oh now it's sounding like a lot of work.
I think I'm going to run out of space within a year at our current rate of growth, one room is maxed, the second can take one more rack, three if we got a new AC
oh its going to be an epic amount of work
need at least two CRAC units, a flywheel, a generator
replace windows
ooh flywheel
with cinderblock
block in two of three doors
get a badge reader installed on the 3rd door
rip out the heating ducting
good project to have on resume!
oh ea
yea
we need to run a little more power to the room
install an EPO
a very early smoke detection system
a dry fire system
make it so the wet system stays dry till smoke is detected
skip the raised floor
we'll see, need to get at least 1/4 mil
for budget
pocket change
actually it is
for the most part
yea
I suspect when I actually start quoting work out its going to be a lot more
so you think of all this in a dream? :)
some asbestos removal on the heating thats going to be ripped out
nah we've been planning it for a while
getting a good plan in place to start proposing to the division mgmt
I'm just worried about running out of space
well not just space but cooling and power
and then being stuck in a place where we can't expand any longer
oh wtf, why can't Ruby 1.9 compile
mhoran, have an experience with any special rack systems, like APC's system that have built in cooling
any*
Hm. I do not.
