Anyone remember the old snake game on nokia cellphones?
found just what I was looking for : http://www.vimsnake.com/
I agree with what's been said. I know when I've hit the wrong key(s)... And to correct it, I'll just rewrite the world (ctrl-w, ctrl-shift-arrow, whatever it is depending on the platform.) For that matter, when I'm typing, I'm very rarely paying attention to the screen. I'm loooking anywhere but the screen...
Well I'm probably looking at the screen, just not where I'm typing.
And frankly, touch typing isn't something I set out to do/learn/know, it just happened as a result of lots and lots of typing.
Enough hunt and peck and I knew where the keys were, so I didn't have to look in order to hit them. Repeat 26+ times and voila, the keyboard.
Only time I have to look is when going for a number - I sometimes need to find a key/line up the right key.
(but that varies by keyboard)
I actually learned how to type on one of these: http://www.acting-man.com/blog/media/2013/07/old-typewriter.jpg
heh, same layout, but massively different feel and spacing (and speed), or so I'm told
If you try typing too fast, the 'hammers' would hit each other and jam
Threading problems.
Quite right, mnathani, and thus the origin of the "qwerty is designed to /slow/ typing" tale
Unless you had a model equipped with whiteout, backspace didnt really do much good.
That's why you have liquid paper...
(liquid paper, blow to dry, backspace, retype) Easier than re-feeding the paper and trying to line it back up later.

Wow.
"Not enough fun for you? Every machine on the subnet is running a telnet server, and there's no root password by default. Yes, we've installed nmap for you."
It makes my fan spinup quite a bit.
TODO: build enough of an environment inside that JS Linux such that I can run a browser that supports JS, and use that to run JS Linux inside itself.
Announcement: In probably what is one of my longest running feature branches (and I thank you all for your patience :), the Portal now has the ability to change the ISO in your VPS' CD-ROM drive.  Consider it a beta, feedback and bug reports welcome!
Ooo.
Ooooh, ahhh
Aw no dhcp lease

brycec, where can i get te source code 4 that emmuylator?
Probably just look at the page source?
It's not mine...
ese: it's on github
SUP
up_the_irons: I will have your money soon, sir
sorry for the wait. I'll mail you when its in the account. shouldn't be longer than 2 weeks
nesta: ok
I figured you were looking at me when you looked around :P
j/k
hehe
oh n0es!
haha
I've filled out our ISO library a little more now that ISOs can be changed for VMs self-service-style.  Anyone care to see if I missed anything?  http://mirrors.arpnetworks.com/ISO_Library/
i suppose i could do some RC's or -current's, but those tend to get stale
up_the_irons: there's a debian 7.2.0 out now :)
oh, and for the record, i must make a correction to my comments about customink a few days ago.  A buddy of mine looked at the shirt and said, "oh it's American Apparel; they cut their shirts differently so the logo will appear straight once you ACTUALLY WEAR the shirt".  and yeah, it pretty much looks OK (and heh, customink is sending me a replacement shirt for free, anyway ;)
gizmoguy: oh yeah?  see, this is why i need you guys...
it's fairly recent
and by that apparently it's a month old already
time goes quick I guess
7.2 sure was quick after 7.1
yeah they've been releasing a lot of point releases for wheezy
not sure why
up_the_irons: plan9 iso plz
:)
gizmoguy: yeah
nesta: url?
plan9 iso's confuse me cuz i never know which one to get...
up_the_irons: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/download/plan9.iso.bz2
up_the_iron would be possible to add slackware to iso library?
dj_marlino: post a link to the iso you want uploaded
dj_marlino: yes, just give me a link
nesta: so, is there any version i can add to that filename is or plan9 simply plan9? ;)
just plan9 afaik :)
Latest stable release - Fourth Edition
according to wikipedia
i c
i give you a link http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-iso/slackware64-14.1-iso/slackware64-14.1-install-dvd.iso
thank you
When did the self service iso changing feature go live?
Just yesterday
Or 3am today depending on your timezone
It was announced 17 hours ago.
brycec: thanks
np mnathani :)
mnathani: yup brand new :)
man, slackware only has that big dvd iso?
no netinst, or minimal
slackware is slacking!
lol
up_the_irons: Did you code that feature yourself?
mnathani: yeah
cool :-)
:)
didn't you code the whole cp yourself?
yeah, i pretty much coded everything except the front-end website
what are you working on now
? what feature can we expect next
whether its next or not I vote for self service resetting all passwords ... ;-)
toddf: with the framework i've been working on the past couple weeks, I can do at least VNC password changes a lot easier. still harder to do the console pass.
mnathani: 1) more work on n+1 router setup, which includes ability to switch account VLANs to different router (with gige ports), 2) pay your bills online (not just update credit card).  Only #2 is customer facing
some big goals for 2014 will be: multiple locations (probably just one, on the east coast), and Heroku-style hosting (so PaaS for people that don't want to manage a whole server)
what other location are you thinking of up_the_irons ?
or undecided?
i'm still impressed by having vpn for ip/kvm for dedicated servers
mercutio: i'm glad you like the vpn, i'm actually impressed even myself ;)  (that was a lot of work to get solid)
mercutio: either Florida or NY
i should probably add a windows cd to the iso library
despite my bias, i have heard that it runs decent
