00:31.35roger2I'm working on a text only system and I'm looking for a "window" manger to allow me to have multiple things going on at once.
00:32.22roger2Like how vi or ircii allow to split the screen or page between direct pages. Any idea on a similar thing for the command line?

00:58.02sorphinwhy does no one mention what this FSCKING connector is FOR
00:58.32MonMothawhat connector?
01:01.26sorphinmoon: on the Indigo2 drive sleds
01:01.29sorphingrr
01:01.32sorphinMonMotha: on the Indigo2 drive sleds
01:01.53sorphinthere's the normal scsi connector, power and a 6 opening (but only 4 wires) connector
01:02.03MonMothahum...
01:02.04sorphini don't remember where it hooks up and nothing tells me
01:02.47*** join/#elinux noclouds (~mhfan@61.191.204.39)
01:02.58MonMothahum, the SCSI sleds from my HP netserver have a connector for I2C for drive monitoring
01:04.04sorphinwell, lackey would know
01:04.10sorphinbut i don't really feel like calling him about it

01:18.10sorphinMonMotha: ok, appears to be for the ID setting
01:18.32sorphinbut looking at the jumpers on the hdd i have, i can't see which the right way for the 4 wires it has
01:20.24MonMothaah, that would make sense
01:20.31MonMothaground line and the three address lines
01:20.46sorphinahh
01:21.01sorphinthe prob is, i don't know which side is gnd and which is addr
01:21.38MonMothapower it up
01:21.47MonMothathe address lines should be flaoting high from the pull ups
01:22.46MonMotha(and the ground line should of course be at ground potential)
01:22.48sorphinSoopaman: sod off
01:22.56Soopamannever!
01:23.03sorphinMonMotha: metering for gnd continuity should work too
01:23.20sorphinSoopaman: i'll just ignore you then, i have laundry to do for 1st day tomorrow
01:23.27MonMothaindeed, though it's possible to fry some things doing that
01:23.43MonMotha(I've actually fried an LED using a continuity tester)
01:24.19Soopamansorphin, don't do that, we're such great friends!
01:24.32Soopamanand i wish you luck on the first day, shuold be real cool
01:26.06sorphinMonMotha: found it
01:26.17sorphinMonMotha: never done that, this is a good meter :P
01:30.22sorphinwell, i plugged it in and it's a tight fit (stupid drive jumpers are smaller, naturally)
01:30.27MonMothamine is a $10 Home Depot special
01:30.53sorphinMonMotha: mine is an $80~ RS True RMS meter
01:30.59sorphinonly thing it doesn't measure is inductance
01:31.04sorphinbut i have an adapter for that
01:31.05MonMothanice
01:31.10sorphinhrm
01:31.16sorphinscsi timeout
01:32.00MonMothaI like the equipment I have available to me here :)
01:32.25sorphinok, now i wish i'd recorded the position of this before i took the drive out before, because now it's not working
01:32.44MonMotha6.5 digit Agilent multimeters, 80MHz arbitrary wave generators, 100MHz fully digital scopes, 3kHz-3GHz spectrum analyzers, 100MHz frequency counter (oh wait, that's mine)
01:32.50MonMothaheh
01:38.03MonMothawow...this is irking me
01:38.12MonMothaI'm watching a documentary on Apollo 13
01:38.23MonMothaand they want to get their current draw down to "15 amps per hour"
01:38.31MonMothawtf kind of unit is that?

01:49.41sorphinheh
01:49.49sorphinMonMotha: that's Amp hours :P
01:50.27sorphinwell fsck, the wires on the other sled's drive id jumper thing 2 got cut :/
01:50.42MonMothaA/hr .= A*hr?
01:50.52MonMothathat'll take me a while to prove...
02:06.58sorphinMonMotha: well, you have kilowatt hours :P
02:19.02MonMothayes, but that's NOT an Amp*hr :)
02:19.13MonMothaan amp*hr is a unit of charge, not energy
02:19.20sorphinanyways
02:19.32MonMotha(an important quantity of course, but not relevant in this case)
02:29.54sorphinthis shit still won't work
