boo!
http://scie.nti.st/
i can finally blog again
bye bye mephisto, hello octopress
Very very nice domain up_the_irons
http://speciali.st
Woha
up_the_irons: Do you mind if i want subdomain (A record) for it?
Point to my ipv6 :D
what word are you trying to make?
speciali.st
i don't have that one
Your domain is awesome!
errrr
tnx :)
I owned nihili.st for a bit. Was sad to sell it, but couldn't really think of a use for it.
my bad.
it is nti.st
yeah
computer.scie.nti.st would be ok?
Heh i come here and asking for free sub-domain
Silly me.
EUR35/year for a .st , that's not unreasonable. Time to run a dictionary list through it and see what's free
Everyone can register it?
nixbag_: seagate accepted all 10 busted drives and have shipped replacements; same with Hitachi.  thank you sir for your help that day :)
hooray
now i can build a huge backup box ;)
too bad they only give u refurbs, but hell, i was kinda writing off those drives anyway....
how did you lose so many disks?
mercutio: we just have lots of disks.  over 200 in the cluster.  some are bound to fail.  drives are so unreliable these days.
oh i thought you lost heaps at once suddenly
mercutio: no these were drives collected over the years
up_the_irons: that's great to hear.
oh not nearly so bad then :)
i still use old drives for everything. haven't gotten a single ssd.
ssd's fail more often the nhard-disks
well over time they seem to have
current generation ones may not be so bad
it should get better with time.
burning a cd used to be very hit or miss.
i'm waiting til price of ssd goes down. i don't mind the lifespan problem so much.
they went up in cost recently
i don't think things are likely to get a lot better soon
not on the cheap end
may do 1gigabyte/sec on high end
hdd i think is the bottleneck of my current desktop.
holy. shit.  i got an order from one of my own IP addresses...  tunnel?  maybe...
It's coming from inside the house!
your computers have become sentient.
skynet has booted
mike-burns: lol
Maybe one of your split personalities ordered it.
i keep learning of new countries through the order process...
I never knew of "Nevis"
apparently, a full country (island state)
"Saint Kitts and Nevis", ISO code KN, in the West Indies
Well, looks like I'm moving to New Orleans in a few months. Got orders there today.
i've never heard of Nevis before
either
51,300 population
oh that's including saint kitts
Very good morning everyone!
morning
I hate working with windows.
why's that?
Because i am a noob.
Sup!
up_the_irons: I just submitted the dedicated server order. Let me know if you need any additional information.
