@ChrisS he is a she, and she got a nice 'how do you expect me to know yours and everyone else's passwords when it seems a single person can't remember just their own password'

Basil

@MikeyB I'm going to take a crack at writing a good storage tag wiki. Would you look over it for me?

Chris S

@Basil It's probably best to include only the most generic storage topics in storage, then discuss more specific topics in other tags like san iscsi fibre-channel

MarkM

Wow, so @Basil is only like 2 weeks into being a member of SF and he's

1) Active in chat

2) Provides useful answers

3) Has participated in Meta

4) Wants to fuck with tags.

I'm impressed. I wish I could give him 10k of my rep. He'd probably do something with it instead of what I do with it, which is ignore the flag queue.

Basil

@ChrisS I agree, I'm reading the guide and trying to fit everything I write into the template

@MarkM 1 week, actually... I can't stop myself- help

@MarkM also, I'd debate 2)

Chris S

@Basil There's a guide?

MarkM

Don't worry. I think trying to fuck around with tags will slow down your willingness to participate in all but the most boob filled chat convos.

Basil

haha

@BartSilverstrim Your wife is a fucking beast in words with friends. I call cheatsies.

Iain

?

MarkM

@Iain Words With Friends is like Scrabble for iOS/Android.

I started a game with Bart a while ago and his wife started a game with me shortly after.

And she is murdering me.

Iain

ooh - sounds interesting

So, I brought my iPad to work to test iOS connectivity with our RADIUS server authenticating our wireless users.

That was done by 10am. Now I'm playing Final Fantasty.

Today is awesome.

Holocryptic

Get back to work, slacker!

Iain

hahahah the great retagging of apache to apache2 made me the 1st person to get the apache2 badge :)

MarkM

I have nagios up on my 2nd monitor. That's doing work.

@Iain Now I know your real motives to all of this tag nonsense

Iain

It was a surprise to me as is the fact that only 12 people have it

hobodave

@Holocryptic lol I love that

@Iain I'm only 14 upvotes away.

Basil

I can't seem to find words about what types of questions should use the storage tag... aside from "Questions that should use this tag should be focused on storage problems. "

Chris S

@Basil They should be questions about block storage in general, not specific to a particular implementation.

Holocryptic

@hobodave I'm getting more and more memeish as I get older and more Internet inundated.

Basil

That's not how it's currently used

At this point, I'm trying to wiki the tag for how it's currently being used, now how it should be

Chris S

@Basil should and is are often different in more ways than spelling

hobodave

5:20 PM

@Holocryptic did you create that?

Holocryptic

@hobodave yep

Basil

also, just because people ask a lot of mysql-on-a-local-drive-performance-woes-hurr questions doesn't make their stuff any less about storage.

MarkM

Now you're starting to see why I avoid this tag madness

Chris S

Well if part of the question is that they're open to changing their block storage strategy, then it would be covered by the generic strorage
