my vps doesn't appear to be available over ipv4 right now. up_the_irons: ping? jpalmer: what's the IP? I'll see if I can hit it Oh, wow That was 4 hours ago Haha phlux: thanks. restarted the vps and it started working. not sure what happened. could hit it over v6, but v4 was a no-go weird...sounds like someone might've been messing with ifconfig I'm the only one with access, and hadn't changed any configs in.. days Weird ahh well. I'll chalk it up to an oops since the machine isn't critical. if it happens again, I'll do a RCA CaZe: ordered an OE Pharos Cool. I can give you some tips on how to align it. I sort of worked out my own method. nice hopefully it ships before i move :P 2 heh /window 2 omg I wonder what number they're at. cool Anyway, if you hold it upside down and turn the handle, and see the end of the axle carouseling up and down as it rotates, then it's out of alignment. I think Doug just does it by sound. But that doesn't really tell you how far out of alignment it is. k Even when it looks like its not movign up and down, if you put your finger on it so thet you're touching both the end of the axle and the bronze bearing, you can always feel a little bit of up and down. And there always will be some. It's up to you to decide what's acceptable. word still trying to figure out what espresso machine to get the La Pavoni Europiccola is pretty intimidating as a first machine Eh. Not if you don't mind bad shots. Just add milk or something. Or whipped cream. heh The only drawback really is that it's a one-hit-wonder. If you want more than one shot, better get something else. yeah.. i drink too much coffee as it is The basket diameter is only 49 mm, whereas most other machines are 58. having one would probably be a good thing On the other hand, the machines last forever. yeah I've been looking at things like the Bacchi though. OTTO One or two others. Whoah, OTTO makes an induction top now, specifically for their machine. Crazy. holy have any recommendations for a two shot machine like the la pavoni? Lever? ya Some old school commercial lever machine, probably. OE sells them occasionally. But they're in the thousands. or woman can pull her own :D See what size basket the Gaggia Achille uses. Looks like 58. ya according to home-barista
