00:55.20findlayhm, lots of pet projects
00:56.38findlaythis may turn out to be much like rss.  Everybody has written a minimilistic (underfeatured) exploratory app, and those are amongst some super bloated, over annoying projects
00:56.55findlaythat don't do what you need either
00:57.25Tenefindlay: so glue togethre some perl modules until you have something that works for you and then ignore it.

01:01.39findlaybasically all I want is the ability to schedule things, a running todo list, and auto ical support

06:01.56sonteklinuxalien: so your name is linuxalien ... but you don't run linux?
06:02.30linuxaliensontek, I have it on my desktop
06:02.37linuxalienjust not on my macbook
06:03.03sontekahh, ok :)
06:03.57linuxalienhehehe I used to run Gentoo but got tired of things breaking and waiting for things to compile on a slow system so now I use Mandriva and Ubuntu
06:04.53linuxalienI'm a bit rusty on linux now that I've had Macs for a bit
06:07.17findlaylinux oxide
06:08.17linuxalienhehe OS X is kinda nice but kind of dumbed down....but it still is unix if you bother with that aspect.
06:10.42linuxalienis rambling cuz he's tired
06:11.34sontekwhere does df -h get its info?
06:12.38sontekwhat I really mean, is can I tell it to scan devices that aren't mounted? =)
06:13.20linuxalienOh hmmm Doesn't seem like it. Unix seems to mainly "recognize" mounted stuff
06:13.35linuxalienotherwise it's like trying to read a flash drive after you do the umount command?
06:13.43linuxalienI could be wrong
06:17.30SargunGentoo is awesome.
06:17.31Supaplexsontek: it only applies to mounted filesystems. mtab can have unmounted filesystems, in which case df might ignore them, otherwise it'll report - for the entries.
06:18.32linuxalienSargun, yeah, really customizable but I always broke mine or it broke itself. :) The only thing I could do is install it with just the instructions. At least I learned to compile a kernel.
06:18.51SargunSupaplex, /etc/mtab
06:19.09Sargunkernel compiling is fun!
06:19.20linuxalienYeah, it's nice when a new one comes out

15:10.00whiteingeat Teir Four
15:10.04lobo235yeah, i saw that on their site
15:10.16lobo235i wonder how much their co-location costs
15:10.19whiteingethat building is awesome
15:10.25whiteingeit's a lot
15:10.27lobo235I have not seen it
15:11.04whiteingeback when they were Center7 the costs were much, much cheaper. you could almost afford a U if you got a few friends together to chip in.
15:12.03lobo235I have been using a fake VPS from westhost.com for my hosting recently
15:12.37whiteingelike it?
15:12.39lobo235it has been good performance-wise but not very flexible
15:12.48lobo235the price is right too
15:13.10lobo235I am really craving my own dedicated server or co-located server
15:13.13whiteingei'm still hosting stuff out of my house :-P
15:13.31whiteingeyeah, colo would be awesome
15:14.05lobo235I have thought about doing that because I am on the iProvo 10mbps fiber but I host a few sites for clients and they would get mad when I reboot my server at home when I tinker with the hardware, etc

16:13.58whiteingesontek: I'm not sure, but I think it happens when the plugin either loses connection to the internet, or maybe just to twitter...

16:14.35sontekwe aren't doing any CPU intensive stuff so it might be one of the perl libs dieing

16:15.28whiteingesounds likely
16:15.37levigNewSense is the most ridiculous name for a Linux distribution.  The FSF needs a marketing department. :P
16:17.12leviWhoa, Adobe announced that it's opening the SWF and FLV formats.
16:17.20lobo235nice
16:18.14lobo235I have been wanting to try some Flash game development but didn't want to fork out money for adobe's products. There will probably be good open source apps built when those file formats are opened
16:18.51leviWould the Flex stuff work for that, or is it too app-centered?
16:19.07levi(I haven't really looked at Flex, just heard that it exists and is open source)
16:19.14sinuhegNewSense is quite nice.
16:19.38lobo235levi: I don't know much about it
16:19.40levisinuhe: Of course it is, it's Ubuntu minus some stuff that is ideologically incorrect.
16:20.03sinuhelevi: If freedom is an ideology, sure.
16:20.34leviFSF isn't about freedom, it's about Freedom as defined by the FSF, which is not necessarily how anyone else defines it.
16:21.19sinuhelevi: How do *you* define freedom?
16:21.32levisinuhe: I'm not getting into a discussion about this right now, sorry.
16:22.05beandogagrees with levi on that one
16:24.12sinuhefinds it interesting how easy it is to attack (FSF isn't about Freedom) in a public forum, and then say you don't want to talk about it when someone wants to rebut the attack.
16:24.33leviFSF most certainly is about Freedom, as defined by FSF.
16:24.55leviThey have very specific ideas about what Freedom means.  However, in English, the word freedom is a bit more abstract than that.
16:25.34leviInsisting that the FSF version of Freedom is the only way to interpret the word freedom in the context of software is a bit offensive to me, but I'm not going to get into the reasons.
16:25.39sinuhelevi: Do you agree with the four freedoms?
16:26.32leviI think they're nice, but I don't believe they're inalienable.
16:26.34*** join/#utah xbmodder_ (n=Sargun@66.151.148.225)
16:27.43leviThey certainly constitute an ideology, though.  If you find that offensive, I'm sorry.
16:28.08leviI don't think I've said anything you need to rebut.

16:29.25^Migs^normally he's a really open minded person and is willing to do the right thing, but lately he's been the opposite, and been kind of close-minded, and not "thinking outside the box" like he usually does
16:29.40elgmaybe he lost his box
16:29.44sinuhelevi: inalienable as a word assumes "rights" as a topic.  I think the point of the four freedoms is to combat rights oriented thinking, not establish an ideology.
16:29.48^Migs^maybe there is no box!
16:30.04harleypiganyone know which driver I should install for cups for a canon mf6580?
16:30.05^Migs^close-minded wasn't the right word
16:30.16harleypiggoogle just gives me a bunch of product review and windows related site.
16:30.25harleypigeven with +linux in the query.
16:30.26^Migs^he's still an awesome boss, I'm just a little concerned about him
16:30.42^Migs^we just launched this new reality makeover show we're putting on in our district: www.techmyclass.com
16:31.06^Migs^launched about 2 hours ago.  I've been working on it for a couple weeks.  Yesterday he comes and sees he wants a complete overhaul of the site.  I'm like, wtf?  Why didn't you mention this a week ago?
16:31.33^Migs^then today he tells me he wants to move our entire student/parent/employee portal to Lansa for the Web.
16:31.45harleypigYour search - +linux +mf6580 compatible driver -windows - did not match any documents.
16:32.19^Migs^it's on J2EE (WebLogic) now.  Although I hate WebLogic and the support is retarded, Lansa for the Web would be worse.
16:32.20levisinuhe: Here you go quibbling about your definitions being the only right ones again.  There are senses in which freedoms are different from rights, but the '4 freedoms' are indeed rights guranteed by the GPL, which is a license.  You really need to drop this, because I'm not talking about it anymore with you.  If you insist on continuing, I'll /ignore you.
16:32.37^Migs^ZERO community support, NOT open source, no Ajax support, no third-party libraries...
16:32.47^Migs^it just has this "whiz-bang" interface
16:32.48xbmodder_Don't use WebLogic.
16:32.56^Migs^too late, xbmodder.  It was here when I started this job.
16:33.30sinuhelevi: Quibbling about my definitions?  When were we talking about definitions?  As for the GPL and establishing rights in terms of the four freedoms, I agree.
16:35.40sinuhelevi: I'm also curious what you mean by "again"?
16:37.22goozbachsinuhe: didn't you know? You're one of those "GNU elitists". You are all the same, if you've debated one, you've debated them all. :)
16:38.58levisinuhe: 'again' referring to your insinuation that FSF is just about 'freedom' and doesn't have an ideology beyond that, and your offense (or so I perceived) at my statement that FSF has a particular definition of Freedom.

16:40.22^Migs^maybe I'll finally have some stories for thedailywtf.com that don't involve "new guy"
16:40.25sinuhelevi: I was responding to your comment with my own.  I think you're perceiving emotions where there aren't any.  I think it's an interesting topic for discussion, but if you're not interested, I'll drop it.
16:40.42^Migs^I WANTED to move to JBoss, but I guess I didn't aggressively push it enough
16:41.55harleypigomg ... Ozzy Osbourne and Dweezil Zappa sing Staying Alive!
16:42.07levisinuhe: Okay, thanks.  I'm not sure why you wouldn't drop it earlier when I said I didn't want to get into it.
16:44.45sinuhelevi: Because you stated an opinion in a form of attack, but then stated it was plonk worthy to state a disagreement.  In my mind, if you post on a public forum an opinion, you should be willing to engage responses to that opinion.  That's where I was coming from.
16:47.12levisinuhe: It's an opinion.  We're all entitled to them.  You can respond to my opinion with your own, but you shouldn't expect that I want to get into a fruitless argument about it. Feel free to correct me when I'm factually wrong, though.  
16:48.56levi(sometimes I *do* seem to want to get into fruitless arguments, but now is not one of those times. :) )

19:43.31bonez44I have a box .. that I have running without monitor or keyboard..I can ssh to it...but I don't need to have it hooked up directly...is there a way with samba or otherwise, to set it up so I can access files on it....from a windows box?
19:49.03unumwow some crazy stuff can come out of the novell vs sco case
19:49.16unumopensolaris may be in trouble
19:49.26lobo235bonez44: yes, samba can do that for you
19:49.32sjansenunum: reference?
19:50.21unumhttp://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080430193035760 <- near the bottom of the main post is where SCO says that's what should happen if they lose
19:51.20lobo235bonez44: also, even with SSH access only you could use Filezilla on the windows box to connect via SFTP and transfer files to and from the linux box
19:51.57lobo235bonez44: samba is a better choice if it's something you will have to do frequently or if you need to teach someone less tech-savvy how to do it
19:55.37sjansenI have a hard time seeing Novell attacking OpenSolaris.
19:56.38bonez44lobo235: I've used samba in the past.. Iguess I need to set it up and all the permissions and shares on the etch box, right? and then add the shares into windows?
19:57.29lobo235bonez44: yes, basically
19:57.45bonez44lobo235: on the same note...could I employ samba with VPN of some sort...to create a link between office here and home....for backup and archive, and such?
19:58.03mrpullsjansen: but how about microsoft dressed in novell clothes?
19:58.08lobo235bonez44: there are many HOWTOs on the web that will help you through the process
19:58.34sjansenIf anything, I see Novell using the SCO Unix license mess to play hard ball with Microsoft.
19:58.39bonez44ok...
19:58.41lobo235bonez44: Yes, I am pretty sure you can acheive that with the openvpn package
19:58.49unumya novell is trying to leave the licenses in place
19:58.55sinuhesjansen: You think the deal was a ruse?
19:59.18unumeven though their legal guy says they wouldn't have entered the agreement
19:59.24bonez44excellent
19:59.57bonez44last question, before I head out for lunch....
20:00.27lobo235bonez44: samba is not a very efficient protocol and is extremely slow over a VPN link in my experience. For remote hosts I would recommend SFTP or even plain FTP if you're not too concerned about security
20:00.52sjansenIt wouldn't surprise me to find out the big MS payout to Novell was a direct result of Novell going to MS a saying "You can see the writing on the wall, can't you. Now we could do this the easy way, or the hard way." Then MS, having studied Judo, saw a chance to turn things to their advantage.
20:00.58bonez44I have a linux box..the same box...I want to stick it in my laundry room where my cable comes in...to home... and to the SMC gateway....want to have it there, and forward port 22.. to it...so that I can have a purely linux ssh point...with which to connect to home..and from there to my machines there...
20:02.19bonez44I'll install it there..and then see if I can find its IP on the network ..and set up port 22 to it....
