RandalSchwartz: 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

dxtr: 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

dxtr: WTF!? :P
RandalSchwartz: are you getting it from mars? :)
dxtr: No
From IBMs website :;P

TomLim: 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?
phlux: what are the obvious reasons?
TomLim: virtual machines aren't good at keeping time because the cpu lurches forward a lot.
nesta_: openntp
phlux: oh, I didn't know that
that might explain a few things
TomLim: openntp works better on virtual machines?
nesta_: well I don't know.. it's just what I use
TomLim: that's a ringing endorsement :)
***: ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks
TomLim: does openntp have something like ntpdc? I usuallly run "ntpdc -c peers" to check the status of things.

ballen: really isn't that much trouble at all
asdf
anyone around
mhoran: yes
go to sleep ballen. haha
ballen: 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
mhoran: sounds like a fun project to me!
ballen: then find space we can steal from another group, then make sure everyone is one board for doing it correctly
mhoran: oh now it's sounding like a lot of work.
ballen: 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
mhoran: ooh flywheel
ballen: with cinderblock
block in two of three doors
get a badge reader installed on the 3rd door
rip out the heating ducting
mhoran: good project to have on resume!
ballen: 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
mhoran: pocket change
ballen: actually it is
for the most part
mhoran: yea
ballen: I suspect when I actually start quoting work out its going to be a lot more
mhoran: so you think of all this in a dream? :)
ballen: 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*
mhoran: Hm. I do not.
