up_the_irons - not yet, other than backstage bar and grill for the great happy hour and this one particular bartender. :)
finally used the map { } construct in perl. pure elegant ip address sorting. ;-)
cool
RandalSchwartz you move down to LA?
RandalSchwartz: you gotta try "the happy ending"   the sliders there are awesome.
jpalmer: do you have the ability to check if a coupon code is still valid?
jlgaddis-sjc: at ARP?   nosir,  I have no access these days
ahh, okie dokie
thanks
up_the_irons wrote some code that..  replaced me :P  lol
lol, that sucks
LOL
automate and delegate(tm)
jlgaddis-sjc: what code?
nah,  I was only really handking DNS requests..  and only to help him out because I saw how much time he was spending on them.   so I handled them while he took that time to write the DNS code
""Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script."
s/^"//
jlgaddis-sjc: hah  yep :P
hah
up_the_irons: "EVIL", i think... lemme check.
jlgaddis-sjc: that is the 2nd month free one.  i can still do that, yeah
Luckily,  I wasn't replaced by a one-liner.  I'd be questioning my purpose for existance :P
up_the_irons: cool, @tbourke is looking for a new vps provider, pref. on the west coast. figured i'd try to trick^Wconvince him to try arp.  =)
it is the season for trickery ;)
heh, interestingly enough i keep finding out about other (former, now) coworkers who also signed up w/ arp.
hah cool
that happened to a friend of mine in LA recently.  he said he found out a co-worker signed up a VPS and he didn't even tell him about ARP
yeah, this one (scott woodall) read one of my posts a long time ago and signed up then, apparently
and everyone i know seems to stick w/ you after the "probationary period" so i guess that says something =)
haha yeah; ARP is sticky
reliability ftw
i usually pull up my uptime reports from pingdom... which says as of right now, 99.98% uptime in the last 365 days
2h7m37s downtime, most of which from when i went from freebsd to debian
nice
I don't wanna jinx anything, but here's one of my hosts:
$ uptime
 11:34:41 up 733 days, 20:33,  2 users,  load average: 1.45, 1.59, 1.52
$
holy crap, that is 3 days longer than 2 years

hah cool
My personal ruptime consistently runs 600 seconds. :)
lol
ruptime
?
It's a metaphor
yes, hence my '?'
I do not understand what your metaphor means
It means I am dropped every 600 seconds of inactivity.
ah
rightio
I know it's bsd or arp because a simultaneous connection to another isp holds up.
web source suggested something about autologout setting in .cshrc
last random web advice I followed got me locked out for a while.
can't find the answer in the handbook either.
dropped from what?
from ssh login Randall, thanks
there are some clientalive type settings you can play with in sshd_config
that's likely a function of your shell
man $yourshell :)
boba i did look in ssh_config and it's not too promising.
unless it's also killing you inside another app
ah it happens to me too, I just use screen and ssh back in.. I figure its just my internet tethering with my phone.. its bound to happen
no, sshd_config
boba my error but I looked there too.
Randall what in the shell is it? Pun intended.
i have ClientAliveInterval set to 60, ClientAliveCountMax set to 3
usually I find that as long as something is 'happening' in the shell it does not drop .. if it is an unattended shell they tend to drop very easy
if that's a serious question, please elaborate
start by answering which shell you are using.
blk* so you're getting the same behavior as me?
yes ifthen
heh
Randal I'm trying
ifthen: ignore it
not very well. :P(
unhelpful advice really
man bash
will not really help you
Simple.  Question.  What.  Shell. Are. You. Using.
b1k3ryd3r - we don't know if he's using bash
unless you know something from an earlier conversation
Randall the stock csh on FreeBsd
I think the stock csh has a timeout
are you getting the word "logout" after 10 minutes?
as in, have you noticed what happens?
RS no it just quits silently
The screen dies and won't respond.
see if "autologout" is set
oh, you're in screen?
I have to ssh in again.
then yes, that's likely a TCP problem
and yes, you can force ssh to keep sending traffic
are you behind a NAT firewall?
s/firewall// :)
NAT might be timing out after 10 minutes
so then you don't have a good connect
RS I assume the time-warner modem is but still not problem with other SSH sites.
maybe other sites continue to send more things
and yes, see sshd_config then
unset autologout
and possibly ssh_config
(if its a cshell)
pjs it is a cshell and I don't think I have an autologout IIRC but will recheck
echo "TCPKeepAlive yes" >>$HOME/.ssh/config # on your local box
see if that fixes it
the default is "yes" though
I dunno.  I abhor the csh, so I don't use it anywhere
RS my local box is a macbook but I will try.
ifthen I add 'unset autologout' to all my .tcshrc's.. by default it's enabled
yeah, see if autologout is set
OK I will check for a .autologout but I think I did already.
not .autologout
ok no dot
it's a variable
type "set" at your shell
see if autologout is one of them
ok I have tried env and not seen it
not env
"set"
IT'S NOT IN THE ENV.  IT'S A SHELL VAR.
a bit new to this, eh? :)
RS all right already
How did you guess?
we're not casual about what we're asking.  we're being precise.  please just listen to what we're typing
don't hallucinate. :(
Believe me I will be reading this log and thank you RS
Going to check "set"
RandalSchwartz so you moved to LA recently or...?
(sorry if I missed your answer earlier)
I just work in LA.
I still live in Portland.
Gotcha
what part of town?
(work in LA that is)
Culver City
thanks pjs also.
(mt) Media Temple :)
RandalSchwartz oh nice.. They wanted me to interview a while back.. not looking for work tho. Cool company for sure
ifthen sure thing
Just a contractor here.
moving them from svn to git
right on.. how long are you in town for?
ongoing
cool.. I think there's a few LA guys here.. we should all meet for beers n such
if you mean "for what specific range of days", see http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/dot-plan.txt
there's a webcal link in there to be able to stalk me down to the hour. :)
hah, I'll stick with IRC ;)
RandalSchwartz: I was in Portland a couple weeks ago for puppetconf
jpalmer - I was in portland over the weekend but otherwise not there
my default location is Culver City now
