fink has joined #arpnetworks jpalmer: up_the_irons: same. so when people have questions, I can have some semblance of knowledge mattx86: hm.. can anyone recommend a online faxing service?
an* even fink: mattx86: i looked into it
efax has a bad rep jaja: I would like to test the dns management too :> mattx86: fink: really? I was about to signup when I realized it wasn't linux-compatible (although I do have XP installed in VMware Workstation) fink: ended up telling the client to scan it or taking a photo with their iphone camera, because hey, it's 2010, and they did it and they're still using us, so… mattx86: I'm considering myfax tho fink: they're some other free services
hylafax, for example, runs locally mattx86: ah yes, hylafax :) fink: but it's all too complicated, and faxing is obsolete mattx86: yeah twobithacker: I still don't get why some people thing faxing is somehow different than an e-mailed scan mattx86: I'm going to request my high school and college transcripts, so I'm figuring I'll probably need a fax service (use dryloop DSL at home)
don't get me wrong though, I agree with you guys fink: mattx86: they can probably email it nowadays
or just mail you a copy mattx86: true, but I don't want to wait even a few days for it to come in the mail ;)
I figure I'll signup for a free trial and use that if necessary, otherwise hopefully they can do e-mail
I hate to do that though. I might even do sfax, because they're extremely inexpensive -- $24/yr fink: mattx86: sorry, i don't know
ask your school to email it to you?
do you have a landline? mattx86: fink: I will. I do have a landline but it's dryloop DSL; no phone service fink: :(
friends or parents with fax at their work?
simple solution mattx86: nah, it's no big deal; I'll figure something out :) jpalmer: mattx86: call your local staples or kinkos. they can accept faxes, for a small fee. mattx86: jpalmer: I think the local staples or kinkos is atleast an hours drive away :P jpalmer: mattx86: around here, several gas stations can do it too. mattx86: ah, never heard of that
I mean, worst case scenario, I'd have to drive to the high school (20-30 minute drive), and the college (about 1.5 hour drive) LT: k7.net might be an option, seen a couple of people recommend it in the past but never used myself fink: mattx86: the college probably has a fax2pdf service
in which case, they can email it to you mattx86: heh, in the time I'm sitting here debating what to do, I could have been out and back ;D fink: i doubt they manually shuffle paper faxes nowadays mattx86: fink: you may be surprised :) ***: bharatak has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: drop.io used to have inbound and outbound faxes.
too bad they got bought out. :) mattx86: I forgot to mention a third school in there, so that may be quite a bit of driving :)
signed up for myfax, so we'll see how it goes RandalSchwartz: ... http://www.k7.net/
they offer voicemail/faxmail to email for free
washington-state number, but who cares.
they actually make money on your incoming calls because they're a CLEC
all in the wonderful complex world of US telephony
I'm sure Google isn't crying over all of their incoming calls either. :) fink: RandalSchwartz: how does that work, exactly? ***: robotarmy has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: the local exchange gets a settlement when handling incoming calls, as part of the overall price of placing a call
when they opened the local exchange up to people other than Ma Bell, the same settlement is available
CLEC = competitive local exchange center(?)
so instead of ma bell paying ma bell to terminate the call to a hardline
us west pays k7 to terminate the call
except k7 can terminate it as a virtual call
this is because originally when you called from new york to los angeles, los angeles needed a bit of cash to pay for local lines
so the money goes into three slots... new york, the LD carrier, and los angeles
CLECs get that third slot
of course, when it was all ma bell, it was just an accounting matter.
but now, it's real cash
the rates for CLEC fees are similar to what you pay for VOIP-to-hardline
because that's essentially paying the CLEC
so a penny a minute or so
but that's enough to keep k7 in business. :) ***: CRowen has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

seems to have gone through and everything, but time will tell
may not work out; got a call from them a moment ago and they said it's giving a busy signal. they said they'll keep trying though
and here I thought the online fax service would be smooth heh

still have to get gas for the car though
I still remember the big sign about 30 minutes east of San Francisco towards Sacramento... in giant letters "EAT NOW.

thank gawd jpalmer: does anyone have the hidden link yet, for the rDNS self-help portal? mattx86: that's good RandalSchwartz: I don't know how the rest of the country (except jersey) puts up with it mattx86: I never bothered to complain to the state or whoever about it. I thought it was like this everywhere RandalSchwartz: oregon and new jersey prohibit self-service
we pay the same rates for gas, but they pump for us
rarely have to get out of the car! mattx86: no kidding? RandalSchwartz: why would I kid about that? :) mattx86: I knew some places still did that, but I didn't realize it was 'prohibited' in some states
that sounds wild hehe RandalSchwartz: it's been prohibited here in Oregon since the 40s
enforced by the Fire Marshall mattx86: that's interesting RandalSchwartz: I didn't pump gas until I turned 20, and that was a trip to California
in fact, I had no idea how. :) mattx86: wow RandalSchwartz: so here I am, about 20 minutes north of San Francisco, and I get out, and wonder what to do
the girl behind the 3-inch-thick glass wasn't about to help me either. :(
even on trips to seattle, I could generally fill up in oregon, then not worry about it til I got back
although I'd be running on fumes as I crossed the washington border into oregon :)
thank gawd they have a gas station at the first exit.
ok, the thought of food is sounding better and better. mattx86: heh, that's something RandalSchwartz: must go find food and wifi mattx86: alrighty :) ***: heavysixer has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)

RandalSchwartz: not if you're already a natural programmer (I was) mike-burns: I work with mostly college dropouts and non-CS majors. I think this is a generational thing (and I'm about half your age, RandalSchwartz); people entering college now know basically no programming. RandalSchwartz: and therefore they should *not* learn programming in college mike-burns: I agree. RandalSchwartz: I don't want anyone who wasn't tinkering in fifth grade with programming to BE a programmer now
there's really NO point
you don't "learn" programming. You *are* a programmer. mike-burns: But that's only based on my experience; maybe they'll actually be good, or at least better than myself.

I love to program :)
I love Linux and open source too
I was trying out RedHat 4.5 IIRC, and Slackware when I was 12 I guess
you could actually buy a boxed set of RedHat Linux at Walmart back then
good times
a few years ago, I took the plunge to use Linux as my primary desktop OS. I keep XP and Wine around, but I do without them for the most part tooth: i still have a redhat 4ish something cd from years ago. a_j__c: dang, I was learning html in 3rd grade (2003)..i'm a bit behind
came to the *nix scene a bit late jpalmer: I did the whole "linux desktop" thing for a while. and the "BSD desktop" then I came around full circle. I use windows 7 on my desktop. ***: heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) jpalmer: 15 year BSD admin, but I still feel "the best tool for the job" is the best motto. and for my needs, the best tool for the desktop (barring any absurd bias) is windows 7. mattx86: heh, I remember spending summer after summer playing with windows-based IRC server (WSIRCSRV), Web Servers (Xitami, etc).. I even tried to setup BIND on Win9x once, because a guy on IRC told me I could use it to spoof my hostname/IP :P rgouveia: jpalmer: "the best tool for the job" is awesome when you can do it at work :-) mattx86: jpalmer: I do/did agree. I guess part of why I decided to use Linux full-time is because I wanted immerse myself in it, and get much more used to it in that way
rgouveia: indeed :) jpalmer: immersion learning *is* the best learning. mattx86: jpalmer: I did the right thing then. a_j__c: whats the current kernel revision? mattx86: I'd used linux on the desktop many times before, but always felt it wasn't ready. I thought surely it's ready by now, back in 2008.
admittedly, it's not without it's faults, but that could be said about windows too I suppose
a_j__c: I believe it's 2.6.38.x jpalmer: I try a new version of some OS about twice a year, but my personal take: I'm less efficient in the FOSS OS's than I am in windows. I always catch myself tinkering on my local configs, rather than doing whatever my goal is. mattx86: a_j__c: yeah, 2.6.38 -- kernel.org
jpalmer: yeah, that sounds about right for me too, actually
jpalmer: well, it's not too bad. but yeah a_j__c: ty
im not that far back on updates fink: mac os x is awesome rgouveia: a_j__c: you compile it? fink: i can compile pretty much anything i can in freebsd
and the gui is very efficient for me rgouveia: fink: i thought you would prefer apt-get ;-) a_j__c: yes rgouveia mattx86: jpalmer: when I was visiting my brother in Japan last year, I found myself wanting to use a *nix console to rename some photos, so I install cygwin on my win7 netbook while I was there :P
installed* fink: rgouveia: i can't stand fink shizlr: so the nytimes is trying some dumb paywall again
i dont know how theyre going to verify 15-20 pageviews/month tho
probably some dumb cookie thing that you can just delete mattx86: fink: I actually wanted a mac book instead of my win7 netbook, but I couldn't get the financing I wanted
fink: I've had mac fever recently, and actually themed my linux desktop to be mac-ish ;) fink: mattx86: financing is a rip; if you can't afford a new one, get a used one
the hardware lasts for years mattx86: fink: yeah, I think I'd heard of someone's mac book lasting for like 6 years
I should have done that a_j__c: only 6 years? -: pilgrimd still has his 13" G4 MacBook. Works fine, just slow. fink: my mom uses my old 12" g4 pb, just had to get a new battery; it's from 2003
pilgrimd: you'd be amazed at what more ram and an ssd can do! mattx86: a_j__c: well, could have lasted longer except the guy had accidentally dropped it on concrete at school, and said it worked another year or two hooked up to an external monitor pilgrimd: I already maxed the RAM. Waiting for SSDs to get better and cheaper. fink: pilgrimd: you use macports? pilgrimd: fink: I doubt it, since I have no idea what that is. :) jpalmer: my workstation is essentially just a dumb terminal to a bunch of unix machines using ssh. I don't really care about it's performance or specs. mattx86: fink: wow @ g4 a_j__c: i love my T41 thinkpad fink: pilgrimd: it's a nix software package manager for os x pilgrimd: Ah. fink: similar to freebsd ports
mattx86: g4 & g5 were great chips pilgrimd: Then I do, but I don't. I ported FreeBSD's ports system to it myself. fink: as a computing society, we've pretty much lost the need for faster specs for quotidian tasks
pilgrimd: cool, how? pilgrimd: fink: pretty easy. the ports tree is actually stock except for Mk, which was heavily modified. fink: pilgrimd: that's awesome
pilgrimd: but also, way to reinvent the wheel ;) pilgrimd: Well, I hate pretty much every other package manager out there.
They all do some insanely stupid things or are just plain broken. Ports I like, mostly because it's easy to modify. ***: heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks

of course, tmux may be available through cygwin ***: heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) fink: pilgrimd: no, it uses its own tree; i meant it has a similar update mechanism ***: Lefty__ has joined #arpnetworks

up_the_irons: if I edit say x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.ip6.arpa, wouldn't it be better to just have a textarea of all NS records for that delegation, and split by line into actual DB records? up_the_irons: G: i don't get it ;) G: I guess it doesn't really matter, and would likely require more work from the backend side but just wondering up_the_irons: reach record gets a row
*each ***: robotarmy has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) up_the_irons: tweet'd G: up_the_irons: yeah, but for mass editing of one delegation, it could be a crazy amounts of edits to change, (in my case 6) for the NS delegations, it'd be nice if it could be one edit, to edit all 6 rows up_the_irons: G: yeah that's true G: either for a UI, one textarea one record per line, split again at the backend, or like most places, one <input type=text> per DB row

not sure if it was a faulty import, or a frontend/display issue. up_the_irons: jpalmer: yes, that's by design b/c I didn't finish the RFC 2317 validation code. So it won't show records like "x-y.a.b.c.in-addr.arpa"
