Oh wait, that last one went wonky.

@MikeyB status buy-a-bigger-fucking-monitor
 
@MikeyB That's my favo(u)rite close reason.
I should get that added into our ticketing system.

@MikeyB Make your browser window small
 
8:03 PM
Ok, now I'm starting to wrap
 
...posting...
 
we're terrible human beings, aren't we?
 
@MarkM I see the problem all the time on my BB.
 
Works for me, but the text is getting very cramped on the right side.
 
8:04 PM
@tombull89 That gets a star.
 
@tombull89 Fixed that for you
 
@tombull89 If I resize my window to ~3/4 normal size it does that too.
 
Lemme get a screenshot from my BB as well... :)
 
@MarkM someone has a high opinion of himself :)
 
1 hour ago, by tombull89
I'm cold, tired, and have been stitched up twice today. Where's the boobs?
I am now highly amused.
...seems I'm easily pleased.
 
8:07 PM
@tombull89 and THAT goes on the wall...
 
three stars in 10 minutes? wut.
 
you're entertaining.
That or the star wall is really more like a spitball-wall in high school math class.
 
Right, I'm done for today. I will now leave you with a Pokemon fart joke.

Q: Wide chat text ends up behind the star wall in chat

MikeyBI also get the same behaviour while using the browser chat on my BlackBerry. Normal chat regularly ends up behind the star wall. Would provide a screenshot, but it's not working for me at the moment. Please note that we do not necessarily expect a resolution for all cases, but it'd be nice to ha...

 
@MikeyB :( no on the star wall
 
8:38 PM
@MikeyB
Fine. Stupid [tag:]s not allowing punctuation. Its a poorly-punctuated ransom note then.
 
Or those poetry fridge magnets you see]
 
and how come OSX autocorrected ransom to random? Kidnappers can't use Lion?
"I have no idea what "cloud computing" is. Every time our Tech Manager Dan tries to explain it, I get a little more confused. From what I've been able to glean, NaNoWriMo's websites exist entirely in the imagination of an astronaut in Belarus, and we log into the sites through his forehead." <--- That may be the most accurate explanation EVAR!
 
I'm kind of disappointed with auto correct on the droid. It doesn't auto capitalize "I" and doesn't put in apostrophes automatically either. I may have to play with the settings though
@voretaq7 linky
 
@Holocryptic @*($&#%*(#^%#&*^#@#&*# I HATE WHEN IT TRIES TO PUT IN APOSTROPHIES AUTOMATICALLY!
 
@voretaq7 meh
 
8:44 PM
HATE. It always trys to make its into it's. Even when it's grammatically INCORRECT.
 
@voretaq7 I generally want them more often than not
 
I want to drop the guy who wrote that algorithm into the middle of English.SE and let them eviscerate him with commas!
 
The thing that really bugs me is the not capitalizing "I" thing
 
@Holocryptic nanowrimo.org/node/3699300 <- 2nd graph.
yes. I standing alone should be capitalized.
what also bugs me is insisting on capitalizing the first letter of a word starting a sentence even when I intercap the word. e.g. "iPhone, Apple's beloved cash-cow"
 
@voretaq7 I'm gonna have to play with the settings I think. I just haven't been able to yet
haha
 
8:48 PM
"The cloud tells us which web browsers people are using, and how long Wrimos spend on each page of the site."

The cloud is my master… I have been chosen…
 
I can't see anything, there's a cloud of smoke coming from the boardroom.
* Snif * ... smells like the 70s
 
@MikeyB We'll be back shortly - the cloud rained all over and we're trying our damndest to make your data evaporate again...
 
Want to go home...

Q: How to properly send messages to another screen using SSH?

bitshiftsI have an Ubuntu box set up and a Mac from which I am trying to send a message to the Ubuntu screen Can someone provide a short guide or a series of commands (I know it has to do with "screen") to send a message to the other computer's screen. I've googled around, but to no avail.

I... wha.... how do you.... oh god can't I just kill them all?
 
ooh chrome side tabs are cool
 
9:02 PM
Xenserver freezes when I try to install it on a new dual quad box, as it never leaves the splash menu once I select install, anyone run onto this?
 
@MikeyB I bet the fix will be to disable nesting of chat reposts. This is why we can't have nice things!
 
@ShaneMadden Meh, works for me.
 
@Jacob sounds like a driver issue but I'm just guessing
 
9:24 PM
Cats with no lolspeak!
 
@Jacob Try jiggling the cables, there's probably a stuck packet.
 
good afternoon all
 
whats crackin
 
had to eat my humble pie and go over here to ask about a very frustrating issue I'm having:

Q: Wifi drops when screen is locked

ErikAI have a Mid 2010 MPB, running 10.7.1. Ever since I upgraded to Lion, I have noticed that wifi connections that require 802.1x authentication are dropping whenever I lock the screen. The connections remain down until I unlock, at which point they quickly start passing traffic again. This behavi...

 
9:34 PM
@ErikA Is that the latest build? I know that my Dad was having trouble with wi-fi and there was a fix for it in a recent release
 
I belive 10.7.1 is the latest.
...running software update to verify, though.
yup, 10.7.1 is the latest patch available
 
hrm
@voretaq7 I wish I could afford 1st class....
 
@Holocryptic Get me the priority boarding pass.
 
@voretaq7 I'm flying to the west coast next week. In coach. blech.
but its cheap...
 
9:56 PM
@Holocryptic Where on the west coast?
 
@Ward OR for a few days, then down to Vegas to visit some friends
 
@Holocryptic As well as Vegas, you should go the other way and visit beautiful, sunny* Vancouver.
(*that is, rainy and grey.)
 
haha
We've been getting plenty of that in VA
 
I need to prepare the best kernel ever for my new shiny servers

Q: What's worth changing in kernel configuration?

user97130I was wondering what do you usually change in the kernel configuration. I am having make menuconfig in front of me right and now I need to prepare the best kernel ever for my new shiny servers. I use sources from linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 Debian Squeeze package because unfortunately kernel.org i...

 
@Holocryptic It can't be the same, I bet in VA you don't have moss growing on your moss.
 
10:05 PM
@Ward It good for the environment. Or something.
@ShaneMadden hrm, sounds like you should read a book or something
 
@Holocryptic No, just tell me what the best kernel is!
 
Can't you just specify -best and -shiny ?
 
@ShaneMadden corn
 
@Holocryptic Bah, I'm out of stars.
Someone give this man a star.
 
I've been out of stars since 230
 
10:08 PM
I'm apparently out of stars.

A: What's worth changing in kernel configuration?

voretaq7A few words? OK: If you do not know, Do Not Touch. How about a few more words? The default/generic kernels shipped with any modern Linux or BSD variant are fairly well-tuned for the vast majority of workloads. Most of what you might need to touch is accessible through sysctl knobs (or on Lin...

Too mean?
 
@voretaq7 Not at all - I wouldn't have even called it too mean if you stopped after the first line.
 
I was tempted to, but I've been in a charitable mood of late...
 
Also maybe could use a note about letting apt-get update be in charge of security updates, heh.
 
10:26 PM
@ShaneMadden meh
he apparently is running customized kernel(s) already (which I can't fault him for: My environment runs a customized kernel - but that's because I know what I do/don't need, I've tuned accordingly, and when I hit a wall I bother the FreeBSD folks who know more than me
also, 6:30 -- GoHome time :)
laterZ
 
@voretaq7 Sure, but you know he's going to post a question soon with "Why can't I update my custom kernel like the debian guide says??"
 
I'm going to punch that kernel guy
 
Ah, yes. The good ol' "Eye needz moar perfourmanz!" cry for help.
