| 00:00.37 | mindjuju | brownies sound yum |
| 00:01.20 | supernovia | I used to make them every sunday night and have people over for games or movies or just... sitting around chatting and eating brownies |
| 00:01.28 | supernovia | and I'm thinking I need to start doing that again |
| 00:03.10 | mindjuju | that would be awesome! |
| 00:03.23 | macnewbold | brownies |
| 00:03.24 | macnewbold | mmm |
| 00:03.41 | herlo | supernovia: I'd come |
| 00:03.49 | supernovia | Sweet... anyone else? |
| 00:04.01 | supernovia | I am seriously thinking about doing it maybe .. the sunday after next |
| 00:04.16 | macnewbold | supernovia: fresh eggs are awesome (we used to have 1-2 dozen hens), but you have to be careful - they don't hard boil like the not-so-fresh |
| 00:04.44 | supernovia | ya'll can bring your families too |
| 00:04.56 | macnewbold | supernovia: it sounds awesome, but are you sure we wouldn't overwhelm you? |
| 00:05.01 | supernovia | really? I've never tried hard-boiling a less-than-a-day-old-egg |
| 00:05.11 | herlo | supernovia: the 21st ?? |
| 00:05.17 | macnewbold | yeah, the fresh ones stick to the inside of the shell, and you can't peel them |
| 00:05.20 | supernovia | I've got plenty of room |
| 00:06.01 | macnewbold | AFAIK the 21st is open on my calendar too - it sounds like a lot of fun |
| 00:06.05 | supernovia | Sure, the 21st would work for me |
| 00:06.14 | supernovia | want to come too mindjuju ? |
| 00:06.18 | macnewbold | but you'd have to let us know what we could bring, should we desire to help supply the masses with food/entertainment |
| 00:06.33 | supernovia | Well, games are good... |
| 00:06.35 | mindjuju | on the 21st? sounds doable |
| 00:06.40 | supernovia | I don't have very many ATM |
| 00:07.11 | supernovia | and movies are not as doable here since I've just got a dinky little TV. But brownies and hanging out makes me happy |
| 00:07.34 | supernovia | and I have a few games. and a big yard the kids can run around in, weather permitting |
| 00:08.03 | supernovia | otherwise they could run around the apartment.. |
| 00:08.16 | supernovia | and I've had .. like, 30 people over at a time before without any trouble |
| 00:08.44 | herlo | supernovia: I have the best game evar! |
| 00:08.48 | supernovia | want to plan on it and just bring you know, maybe a game and if you're up for it, some extra treats? |
| 00:08.50 | supernovia | Yeah herlo? |
| 00:08.52 | herlo | quite a selectoin... |
| 00:08.59 | herlo | supernovia: yeah, Settlers of Catan! |
| 00:09.10 | supernovia | You know I've never played that? :-o |
| 00:09.33 | herlo | supernovia: I also have scrabble, Shrek operation, killer bunnies (fun crazy game), Apples to Apples and many more |
| 00:09.42 | supernovia | I <3 apples to apples |
| 00:09.44 | jtsnow | ever played Ticket to Ride or Dominion? |
| 00:09.50 | herlo | jtsnow: I own TtR |
| 00:09.51 | supernovia | Love Ticket to Ride |
| 00:09.57 | supernovia | haven't played dominion |
| 00:10.05 | herlo | dominion sounds cool |
| 00:10.07 | macnewbold | we've got a few i could bring - incan gold, magblast |
| 00:10.13 | macnewbold | even Titan if anyone is up for it |
| 00:10.14 | jtsnow | Dominion is awesome... and really addicting |
| 00:10.19 | herlo | http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion |
| 00:10.22 | herlo | dominion ^^ |
| 00:10.29 | supernovia | I have lots of tables and chairs so we could have more than one game going at a time if we wanted to |
| 00:10.33 | herlo | macnewbold: I have magblast too, great game! |
| 00:10.39 | herlo | another good game is Coyote! |
| 00:10.42 | herlo | and Bang! |
| 00:10.44 | supernovia | would just need a little helps setting em up |
| 00:10.49 | supernovia | Bang! = a blast |
| 00:11.22 | herlo | yes, I have the Dodge City expansion |
| 00:11.26 | herlo | or access to it ^^ |
| 00:11.26 | supernovia | Nice! |
| 00:12.08 | supernovia | I love playing them |
| 00:13.00 | herlo | :) |
| 00:13.02 | herlo | me too... |
| 00:13.03 | macnewbold | if this works out to be a nice fun family gathering on a sunday evening, i'd be willing to host at my house once in a while too if anyone wanted. |
| 00:13.13 | macnewbold | though doing it at someone else's house every time has its advantages... |
| 00:13.39 | supernovia | I'd be happy to host it once a month or whatever |
| 00:14.19 | supernovia | or switch to other places too, whatever works best |
| 00:14.40 | supernovia | I do have tons of tables and chairs though.. my family does all their gatherings here |
| 00:15.13 | supernovia | so they bought 18 chairs and 3 tables for Christmas so we could set up easier |
| 00:17.00 | herlo | supernovia: I have a place too, we have several chairs too :) |
| 00:17.13 | macnewbold | nice |
| 00:17.22 | macnewbold | yeah, we're not that well equipped in chairs/tables department |
| 00:18.15 | supernovia | what time would work best for ya'll? I'm in Highland |
| 00:18.48 | herlo | supernovia: on a Sunday? Probably early evening for me |
| 00:18.52 | supernovia | My kids usually need to be in bed by 9 or so |
| 00:19.12 | herlo | but I'm pretty open, timewise |
| 00:20.05 | supernovia | 6-9ish? |
| 00:20.36 | supernovia | or should we go 5 |
| 00:25.41 | jtsnow | Bohnanza is another good game |
| 00:29.11 | supernovia | I haven't played that |

| 18:19.21 | brasto | hey guys, My Linode keeps spiking to really high cpu usage and disk io, and I can't log in to ssh to find the problem when that happens. What tools do some of you use to capture whatever is causing this sort of problem and log it for me to find after rebooting the server? |
| 18:20.25 | brasto | spiking to 400% cpu usage... pretty amazing. |
| 18:21.30 | _psychic_ | top and lsof ? |
| 18:23.10 | DexterTheDragon | iostat |
| 18:24.50 | mindjuju | let's see, who does flash |
| 18:24.58 | mindjuju | _psychic_ you around? |
| 18:25.03 | _psychic_ | yessir |
| 18:27.31 | brasto | _psychic_: that's the problem I can't run top when the problem is occurring because I can't use ssh to connect. |
| 18:27.36 | brasto | or lsof |
| 18:27.38 | brasto | or iostat |
| 18:27.56 | _psychic_ | even after hard reboot? |
| 18:28.14 | brasto | well, yea, after a reboot, but the problem is gone then, for some time |
| 18:28.20 | brasto | then it'll randomly start up again. |
| 18:28.26 | _psychic_ | I'd keep an eye on things using those tools for a while |
| 18:28.28 | brasto | and I can't keep top open all the time. |
| 18:28.32 | _psychic_ | why not |
| 18:28.45 | brasto | I get a server disconnect if I don't sit there all the time |
| 18:29.02 | brasto | and keep running various commands |
| 18:29.21 | brasto | and I don't want to sit there for potentially days, keeping the connection alive |
| 18:30.43 | brasto | after the reboot: |
| 18:30.46 | brasto | Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni,100.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st |
| 18:31.08 | thebigdog | brasto you can run it under screen |
| 18:31.48 | thebigdog | you could also write a shell script that could email you when the cpu usage is high |
| 18:32.04 | thebigdog | there are a ton of options out there for you to monitor |
| 18:32.07 | DexterTheDragon | iostat has a companion tool for logging |
| 18:32.24 | brasto | Linode sends me emails when the cpu usage gets high, but it just doesn't contain anything useful. |
| 18:33.22 | brasto | so DexterTheDragon, run a cron script with iostat to spit out info every hour or so? |
| 18:33.29 | mp_ | through vmstat in there too |
| 18:33.37 | mp_ | s/through/throw/ |
| 18:34.40 | DexterTheDragon | iostat is part of a package called sysstat that has tools for making reports |
| 18:36.04 | brasto | I suppose I could also run a cron script for ps auxww that puts the output in a log file every so often |
| 18:36.17 | brasto | vmstat, I'll have to read about that one. |

| 19:44.57 | thebigdog | and it would be really hard to get it back...it would take a while |
| 19:45.04 | cycokilr | Rippie: http://trac.oscc.org.my/mymeeting |
| 19:45.07 | mgeary | you lose it if you live overseas? |
| 19:45.20 | thebigdog | yes unless i am working for our gov doing it |
| 19:45.25 | mgeary | lame |
| 19:45.39 | thebigdog | basically it is a real hassle to deal with |
| 19:45.47 | thebigdog | even vacation is hard too |
| 19:48.54 | Rippie | sounds like a bastard :) |
| 19:49.08 | thebigdog | Rippie: did you see the link i posted |
| 19:49.11 | mgeary | aww, thebigdog's kind of rough around the edges, but he's alright |
| 19:49.15 | mgeary | ;) |
| 19:49.48 | Rippie | anyway guys.... quick question.. instead of 3 mysql queries and while loops... is it better with spitting the data from mysql into arrays and then do foreach loop ? |
| 19:50.06 | Rippie | thebigdog Yeah i did :) getting ideas that im writing down... |
| 19:51.59 | thebigdog | Rippie hates me already...i think he should be friends with mindjuju ;) |
| 19:52.20 | SunSparc | Rippie: I would say it is probably more resource friendly to do one query and manipulate the output for your needs. |
| 19:52.33 | SunSparc | But if resources are not an issue, make the database do more work. |
| 19:53.11 | Rippie | thebigdog > dont hate you... yet :) |
| 19:53.26 | thebigdog | Rippie I was looking at this company http://jobb.monster.se/Search.aspx?q=rubberduck&cy=se&lid=190&re=130 |
| 19:53.54 | Rippie | SunSparc the thing is i have to do 3 mysql queries either way... just wondered if there was a better practice :) |
| 19:54.03 | Rippie | thebigdog > Looking |
| 19:54.19 | mgeary | thebigdog: an alternative is to just telecommute to a normal US job while living in Europe. That's what i'm doing this May for 5 weeks |
| 19:54.45 | thebigdog | mgeary: you have a job that can do that thouhg |
| 19:55.06 | mgeary | true, though we'll see how well it works ;) |
| 19:55.11 | thebigdog | hehe |
| 19:55.17 | mgeary | but yeah, you have to be onsite for most of your current work, eh? |
| 19:55.22 | thebigdog | if it works then can i come and work/live with you??!!! |
| 19:55.30 | thebigdog | yep i do |
| 19:55.38 | Rippie | my job has nothing to do with web dev, but hoping i can change it as they want to go away from excel spreadsheets :) |
| 19:55.42 | Rippie | LOL |
| 19:56.13 | thebigdog | i would love to work her for a company in europe and travel over there whenever i can too |
| 19:56.18 | thebigdog | that would be a win for both |
| 19:56.27 | mgeary | yeah |
| 19:56.36 | thebigdog | i am up most of the time they are anyways |
| 19:57.04 | mgeary | it's so much nicer to rent an apartment when you go to Europe, and to stay for several weeks. Gives you a much richer experience than just zipping through ten countries in a week |
| 19:57.05 | thebigdog | i'm going to submit my resume and see what they say |
| 19:57.17 | thebigdog | yeah |
| 19:58.27 | Rippie | :) |
| 19:58.45 | mgeary | 'course the whole work visa can be a bit of an issue |
| 19:59.03 | mgeary | when i lived in germany, i didn't get my formal work visa until... get this.. about 3 weeks before i left |
| 19:59.28 | mgeary | they kept extending my provisional visa until then |
| 20:00.32 | mgeary | and in germany you have to go in and essentially have an interview with an official who knows nothing about your profession, but you have to prove to them that you're qualified to do what you do |
| 20:01.04 | thebigdog | hehe that is funny |
| 20:01.21 | thebigdog | i get to do that for the gov too |
| 20:04.29 | utahcon | mgeary: makes sense... the government doesn't want people posing as professionals if they are simply coming into the country to smuggle drugs |
| 20:07.50 | mgeary | nah, it's just germans being bureaucratic |
| 20:07.55 | mgeary | they've got that down to a high art |
| 20:09.37 | SunSparc | Along with taking breaks and vacations. |
| 20:11.24 | SunSparc | Oh, and curry wurst and Brötchen. |
| 20:12.26 | Rippie | c ya later guys... will go work a bit on the baby room :) |
| 20:14.43 | utahcon | HATE IT! |
| 20:14.56 | SunSparc | Get used to disappointment. |
| 20:15.16 | utahcon | no |
| 20:15.20 | utahcon | will not |
| 20:15.42 | SunSparc | Wait no longer, here it is: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Bread_rolls.JPG |
| 20:16.02 | utahcon | good looking rolls SunSparc |
| 20:16.09 | utahcon | I can haz? |
| 20:16.39 | SunSparc | Now, imagine that with some real butter slathered in the middle with a piece of ham and swiss cheese... |
| 20:16.49 | SunSparc | utahcon: Yes, you can has. |
| 20:17.05 | SunSparc | Heavenly. |
| 20:17.06 | utahcon | that sounds good |
| 20:17.17 | SunSparc | It is. German breakfast. |
| 20:17.33 | SunSparc | I need to learn how to make those little rolls. So tasty. |
| 20:18.31 | SunSparc | All this talk of Europe just makes we want to hop on a plane and go back. |
| 20:19.37 | utahcon | Europe is bad a-- |
| 20:20.00 | SunSparc | I love it. |
| 20:20.28 | utahcon | SunSparc: Ever been to Austria? I spent two weeks in Vienna... want to go again, maybe stay. |
| 20:20.35 | mgeary | Vienna is awesome |
| 20:21.04 | fungus | Is it hard not to sing in Vienna? |
| 20:21.15 | fungus | "The hills are alive..." |
| 20:21.54 | mgeary | there's not really any hills in Vienna |
| 20:21.58 | SunSparc | utahcon: Yes, I have been to Austria. Beautiful. |
| 20:21.58 | mgeary | now Salzburg... |
| 20:22.00 | mgeary | ahhh |
| 20:23.10 | mgeary | we're trying to see about buying a (really cheap) home in the mountains on the border of Germany & the Czech Republic |
| 20:23.10 | SunSparc | The US used to rent an amazing resort near Salzburg, but the Germans tore it down because it reminded them of Hitler. Sad. |
| 20:23.39 | SunSparc | mgeary: I drove over that border in September. What part? |
| 20:23.47 | mgeary | http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=deutschneudorf,+DE&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=51.887315,49.394531&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Deutschneudorf,+Erzgebirgskreis,+Saxony,+Germany&ll=50.603642,13.460655&spn=0.02051,0.024118&t=h&z=15 |
| 20:24.01 | mgeary | SunSparc: you been to Seiffen? |
| 20:24.23 | SunSparc | mgeary: Does not sound familiar. |
| 20:24.37 | mgeary | it's the home of all the traditional wood German christmas ornaments & such |
| 20:25.57 | SunSparc | Wait a minute, just outside of Heidelberg? |
| 20:26.24 | SunSparc | Oh, wait, that is a different Heidelberg. |
| 20:26.33 | SunSparc | That is old East Germany area. |
| 20:27.09 | SunSparc | Looks as pretty as every other part of Germany. |
| 20:27.38 | SunSparc | I would love a home in Germany. I love how they limit the size of the Dorf's. Very well organized. |
| 20:28.42 | SunSparc | mgeary: My mother almost purchased on old castle in Czech Republic because it was selling on the "cheap". |
| 20:28.53 | SunSparc | She regrets on doing it. |
| 20:29.10 | SunSparc | There is a lot of pretty country out there. |
| 20:29.48 | utahcon | I'd be happy with a cottage to visit throughout the year |
| 20:29.57 | utahcon | only visit though... |
| 20:31.02 | mgeary | http://www.panoramio.com/photo/21923939 |
| 20:32.08 | SunSparc | Yeah, as awesome as other areas of the world are, being out there really shows you what an amazing country we live in. I wish everyone would take a year and live somewhere outside of the US, to realize what we have here. There would be a lot less complaining. |
| 20:32.25 | utahcon | hung out here for a while http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8212301 |
| 20:33.00 | SunSparc | mgeary: Yep, typical German country side. Schön. |
| 20:33.02 | utahcon | SunSparc: I could deal with living there if internet options were available in the mountains :D |
| 20:33.41 | SunSparc | heh, so true. :) |
| 20:33.59 | SunSparc | Ah, near Innsbruck. We may have driven by there. |
| 20:35.19 | SunSparc | Those Alpine mountains are breathtaking. |
| 20:35.43 | utahcon | while we were there we drove down to Italy (just across the border). Saw a "castle" there that the youngest part of it, was 600+ years older than the oldest parts of the US. |
| 20:36.00 | utahcon | that was concept I had trouble grasping :D |
| 20:36.24 | SunSparc | Yep. That is one thing I love about Europe. The depth of history and the buildings that are older than our country. |
| 20:39.50 | jtsnow | are there any must-see sights in Copenhagen? I'll probably be going there for a conference in August |

| 21:45.55 | brasto | I get a shared hosting plan at 1and1 and use rsync. I don't point a website to the folder I rsync to. No need for an expensive plan. The shared hosting plan runs me less than $10 a month iirc. |
