not good

Octavian Damiean

Good god.

Simon Sheehan

Well we get great snow in winter, and summer can be nice.. Just not today ;)

Also, does anyone know who Ravi Mohan is? I know he's from here.

DMA57361

@SimonSheehan doesn't ring a bell, but I'm not good with names

Simon Sheehan

Ah. He's definitely from here and he's added me on Google+, but I'm not sure who he is on here.

DMA57361

oh, "here" as in SE...

Sathya

14:04

@SimonSheehan no clue...

DMA57361

still doesn't ring a bell

Simon Sheehan

Are we able to lookup users by email? @Sathya @DMA

new123456

@DMA57361 Thanks for that - SQL is on the catagory of things I'll have to know one day, but am currently too bored or disinterested to learn now. Also, Java happens to be on that list...

Sathya

@new123456 use the API, then

DMA57361

@SimonSheehan users can't, diamonds can, but I'm not going to do so on the grounds that it's bordering on (or is) privacy breach

Simon Sheehan

14:08

@DMA okay. I wasn't going to ask you too because of that. People need SOME privacy ;)

DMA57361

indeed, but thought I'd be explicit up front - but from a user perspective there's no way to use an email to find another user

unless you get funky with gravatars, but that's another issue entirely

Simon Sheehan

This Google+ is a tad inconvenient in relation to facebook since you cannot seem to post on people's profiles.

It needs that feature big time

Darth Android

...

DMA57361

shrug haven't used it

Darth Android

That's the best part!

Nobody just spewing random crap all over my profile.

comments are at least focused around the topic at hand.

Octavian Damiean

14:10

@new123456 Go with Python instead.

DMA57361

@DarthAndroid sounds like a solid improvement to me

Simon Sheehan

@DarthAndroid good point. Do I have you on G+? :p

Octavian Damiean

@DarthAndroid I agree. No more Hey Sally, this is Sue. I have no clue about the internet and privacy. I hope your diarrhea gets better soon. Type of things.

Darth Android

Let me check. You'd know if you did, I think.

Simon Sheehan

I'm slowly losing track of things on there. Somehow when I "follow" people they add me into their "circle". I'm finding it a bit tricky so far but I do like the speed of the service

Darth Android

14:15

@SimonSheehan Yeah, you've added me :P

Simon Sheehan

And it integrates nicely into all of googles features. I keep google as my homepage so I do get notifications there. @Darth great

Darth Android

Yup, it actually gets use from me because it's integrated into gmail. I have no reason to go to FB other than for FB, so I don't go to FB.

Simon Sheehan

I still have to use Facebook. Only 2 of 140 friends made the switch :/. But I only access it from my iPod touch, sort of boycotting it on PC ;)

Darth Android

I was rather shocked how quickly and how many of my friends made the switch.

50+ by the time I got my invite.

I don't really use FB to keep up with my friends though, I chat with them in class or at work or over voice chat while playing games.

Shinrai

I'm too embedded to SWITCH, but I'm on both lol

Simon Sheehan

14:20

Holy :o So far 99% of the people I have on google+ are from SE it seems.

Shinrai

FB doesn't really bother me since I blocked every annoying application years ago and I don't have anybody posting incredibly stupid things to my wall.

Simon Sheehan

I used to have almost 400 people on Facebook and then went on this big deleting spree. At this point I only talk to 3 people on it because it's my only contact with them

Darth Android

I wouldn't know if FB was bothering me. I haven't logged in in 18+months

DMA57361

@DarthAndroid I was about to say I was up to ~3 months without logging on to FB, but well 18 wins :P

Darth Android

My rule for FB was only add people I know IRL, since I couldn't really sort and organize them properly.

Sathya

14:24

Stack Exchange is my 3rd biggest circle, currently at 46 people

Simon Sheehan

Be back in a bit, breakfast is needed.

Sathya

btw my G+ URL is in my user profile :p

Shinrai

I need SE friends, lol, I should do the same ^^;

Sathya

btw, @DMA57361 my consecutive visited days streak in SU was not broken :P

Simon Sheehan

@Sathya How many days?

Journeyman Geek

ooh

Simon Sheehan

Would love to hear what borders "ridiculous" :p

Journeyman Geek

new backblaze storage pod specs. version 1 was 67 TB, version 2 is 135 tb

tombull89

@JourneymanGeek what have they done this time, high-spec disks?

Journeyman Geek

blog.backblaze.com/2011/07/20/…

3 tb drives

tombull89

@JourneymanGeek Hitatchi disks? really?

Journeyman Geek

14:48

apparently so

Sathya

Journeyman Geek

seriously though... who has 8K to spare and wants a ludicrious amount of storage? ;p

/me thinks if i built such a system, i'd go for zfs tho

tombull89

"As of this week, Backblaze has more than 9,000 hard drives spinning in the datacenter"...woah

Journeyman Geek

and swap the boot drive for a SSD ;p

Simon Sheehan

@Sathya holy 0.o

@tombull89: backblaze is awesome simply cause everything but the case is quite literally stuff you can get off the shelf ;p

Simon Sheehan

prolly cause i wasn't here last week when i was exploring the old railway ;p

tombull89

@JourneymanGeek Yeah just reading the spec list...I mean, woah. I could go out and make that, and sell storage space to my friends/family.

Journeyman Geek

lol

tombull89

Hmm, I like that idea.

BullockStor.

Journeyman Geek

tombull89

I've already built my own file server already, but software raid and a mere 6TB storage.

@JourneymanGeek Haha. No.

Journeyman Geek

the only problem i see for DIYing it is the power supplies

Simon Sheehan

You guys have been here a long time, I'm still the new guy ;)

tombull89

@JourneymanGeek I've got a 500W PSU in mine (720W in the backblaze) with 3 storage disks and a 320GB boot.

DMA57361

14:54

@JourneymanGeek erm, is it my eyes or are the cabinets floating in this image -> files.backblaze.com/blog_pics/…

Journeyman Geek

@tombull89: they have a pair, with a custom wiring harness

tombull89

@DMA57361 haha. My god that must be noisy in there.

Journeyman Geek

its a datacenter ;p

naturally

tombull89

@JourneymanGeek Really? Didn't realise there was two.

Journeyman Geek

there are ;p

DMA57361

14:55

no, seriously, look at the shadow from the legs... it looks wrong

Journeyman Geek

i'm quite sure its an opical illusion

no

they're not legs

Q: What should we do about users adding nonsense to question just to meet quality standards?

I just came across this question on Super User. The user wanted a SSL VPN client and proceeded to ask: "Is there any (free) SSL VPN Client for Windows?" obviously this question is too short and quality standards algorithm picked it up and told him to add some more details (as it should). Instead...

c'mon folks, rep cap me on Meta!

tombull89

@Sathya hang on, a 2k+ rep user did that? Poor show, old chap, very poor show.

Sathya

15:15

@tombull89 yep!

Simon Sheehan

Very disappointing to see a 2k+ Rep user resorting to something like that Sigh

tombull89

49 question/89 answers? meh.

Simon Sheehan

Why do you say that @tombull89? What's the relation between his questions and answers?

tombull89

"Personally I think those people should be suspended" - Michael Mrozek. Harsh, but I agree for a blatant ignoring of the rules.

@SimonSheehan actually, I thought he'd been a member for a lot shorter than he actually has been, ignore that.

Simon Sheehan

Ah okay

I think just closing his question is punishment enough. Or a 1 day suspension

tombull89

15:21

@SimonSheehan It was [closed as dupe] though, not [closed as crap]

Simon Sheehan

@tombull89 Good point.

Q: Clickable desktop notifications for chat

I like the desktop notification functionality, but it is rather inconvenient to have the notification popping up on my screen and not being able to click it (to go to the chat). Can we have GMail-like notifications for chat, in which the chat window will focus upon clicking it?

feature-request chat

Simon Sheehan

Wait a second... @bckbck how did you get that to show up?

@Journeyman you there?

@Sathya I Think our mystery Ravi Mohan is actually @JourneymanGeek. They both have pictures of a similar dog!

Sathya

right, nginx install done on my VPS

ah yes

indeed

I had known his first name, but that's a fairly common name in India

Simon Sheehan

Oh, okay. I saw all his pictures of India and figured you might know, but now that's solved :)

@Sathya also, star wars old republic - WANT

Sathya

@SimonSheehan not going to be available in India :(

Darth Android

:(

regional limitations = sadness.

Simon Sheehan

15:58

@Sathya you serious? :( Can't buy it and proxy in? :p

Sathya

@SimonSheehan I doubt.. plus the exchange rates et al will make it unpractical

Simon Sheehan

@Sathya aw :( That's not fun. Do you game at all normally?

Sathya

@SimonSheehan used to be a pretty heavy gamer, nowadays can't find much time

@SimonSheehan - My Steam id, my Raptr id & my Xfire id

Simon Sheehan

@Sathya quite the games library. Here's mine. Please ignore the profile picture, been meaning to change it for 2 years now steamcommunity.com/id/iSimon

Sathya

@SimonSheehan LOL

you should also try out Raptr :)

Simon Sheehan

16:07

@Sathya I heard it uses a lot of resources :o

Sathya

quite the contrary

been using it for a long time

Simon Sheehan

Oh? Do tell, what would be the reason to use it? I just stopped using xfire because I wasn't talking to anyone on it

Sathya

Screenshots, ingame overlay, tracking achievements

I mainly use it for tracking

Simon Sheehan

But doesn't steam do that all?

Sathya

ingame overlay for chat is pretty nice, I play MP with few friends often

@SimonSheehan it didn't a year ago

it was introduced few months ago

Simon Sheehan

16:11

@Sathya ah. I can't seem to use the steam screenshots well, I use ingame stuff. Doesn't it let you use MSN on the overlay?

Sathya

yes

but ew who uses MSN ;p

Simon Sheehan

Me, still sadly :P Mostly IRC now though.

Sathya

XMPP, baby.

Simon Sheehan

I've heard of that, but what is XMPP?

Sathya

I want to know what's XMPP

type this ^

Simon Sheehan

16:14

@Sathya type it where :s

Sathya

type it in chat

Simon Sheehan

I want to know what's XMPP

Was that paper clip supposed to come up or something? :p

@Sathya I use bitlbee though, relays all those IM clients through an IRC server ;)

Darth Android

XMPP is the jabber protocol, right? Same one that gtalk uses?

Sathya

yep, @DarthAndroid

@SimonSheehan yeah :p

Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol

Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open-standard communications protocol for message-oriented middleware based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). The protocol was originally named Jabber, and was developed by the Jabber open-source community in 1999 for, originally, near-real-time, extensible instant messaging (IM), presence information, and contact list maintenance. Designed to be extensible, the protocol today also finds application in VoIP and file transfer signaling. Unlike most instant messaging protocols, XMPP uses an open systems approach of development and a...

That guy used the word "fanboii's" in his article. I now disregard anything he said.

I honestly think Lion is more Gnome 3 derived than anything, which is good.

DMA57361

@SimonSheehan having only ever used the Mac OS for the time would take to reboot it into Windows, I'll have to take your word for it

Simon Sheehan

@DMA I'm still using OS X 10.4 or something on PowerPC eMacs. Im no expert :p

DMA57361

@SimonSheehan well those numbers and words mean very little to me, so you beat my expertise by quite a margin, I'm sure

David

19:07

I am trying to figure out a way to stop the date (or date and time) from changing in windows server 2003... I can't figure out a way to word it though. Most of the search results are how to prevent people from changing it...

Any ideas?

DMA57361

as in you don't want the clock to advance at all? you want the system clock to stop?

David

yes

I want it to stay at July 21st 2011 forever...

DMA57361

mind if I ask why? seems like an odd thing to do :/

and, I've no idea how you'd do that - it'd mean freezing the mobo's clock as well presumably

David

learning about vsphere and using the 60 day trial

It's a VM

I know it is a weird request...

:D

I mean, if you even have something you want me to try that could fatally destroy the OS, that is fine...

DMA57361

I wonder what side effects freezing the clock would have... could be quite an interesting experiment really :)

David

19:10

I can rebuild it

Yeah!

Darth Android

Set up an NTP server to always feed a specific time

DMA57361

nope, genuinely no idea how to do that :)

David

It is a virtual machine running on VMWare Workstation.

Darth Android

Set VM to use NTP server and update frequently.

David

hmm...

Darth Android

19:11

Won't freeze it completely

But it should prolong trials plenty :)

David

Can you make an NTP server only broadcast one time that never changes?

Darth Android

I don't know.

David

o

DMA57361

possibly that's just offsetting the problem to somewhere else

David

yeah...

Great idea though @DarthAndroid

Darth Android

19:13

And if you can't configure the NTP service to do that, then I'd just write a small server application that listens on the NTP port and returns one time.

David

I wonder if I could have the same server be the NTP server

I would have to setup two server 2003 boxes... It wouldn't be that time consuming though...

It's just I already have an ESX host running as a VM

The computer I am using right now as the host

And the server 2003 I am configuring.

With only 8GB of RAM

Darth Android

tsktsk

ram is cheap these days, get up with the times!

David

:D

8GB?

I can't fit anymore into this laptop

Simon Sheehan

@David linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/…

David

I have 2 4GB sticks

Darth Android

19:17

(My system regularly uses 6-10GB)

Simon Sheehan

Test it locally before putting it on a production setup :P

David

Thanks @SimonSheehan

Darth Android

(I abuse it hardcore! :D )

David

lol...

@SimonSheehan do you know how to break the service so it only spits out one time?

Simon Sheehan

@David Not the faintest clue, sorry.

David

19:19

it's ok, thanks!

Darth Android

come to think of it, it'd probably be even easier to write a vb app that sets the same datetime every minute or so, and run it on startup

since apparently controlling the system clock is really easy in VB

David

Well, would you know of a link or know how to do something like that

I am very shaky with VB

Darth Android

It's like Date = '1/1/1970 12:00'

or something obnoxiously stupid-- it was on thedailywtf

David

hmm

That sounds perfect...

thanks

Darth Android

' format the date
Date = month & "08/08" & day & "08/08" & year
</script>

</body>
</html>

There it is...

any ideas @DarthAndroid

Darth Android

errr

David

I am not very good with VB... Not a lot of experience...

Darth Android

The line you want would be something like Date = "1/1/2011 12:00 PM" inside of a file named Settime.vbs and then try double-clicking it and see if it changes the time.

David

thanks!

Darth Android

( I don't know VB at all either, I'm just pulling this out of my &*$& )

David

19:46

wow

Darth Android

So... let me know if it worked? :D

then the issue will only be adding that script to task scheduler to run on startup and every hour or something.

David

illegal assignment: 'Date'

I tried taking out the time

I thought it had to be in an html file...

I think this will help me

SU seems to be very Apple-y since OS X Lion came out. The question editor should detect the OS X or OSX pattern and nudge people over to the Apple site!

Simon Sheehan

@slhck do tell o.o

slhck

I decided to drop a question to SU, so here's what I had until it worked again

pastie.org/pastes/2250302/text

@Linker3000 Why?

Simon Sheehan

@slhck does OS X have a firewall similar to windows firewall that might be blocking them?

Darth Android

I had a similar issue a few days ago

slhck

20:10

@SimonSheehan No, it wasn't OS X only, and I hadn't changed any configuration or anything

Linker3000

@slhck Well, what's the use of having a separate Apple site then?

feature-request

Same thing, just for Ubuntu

Darth Android

20:11

Like... if I tag a question [osx], then it will show up on the apple site (even if the question is posted on SU)

Linker3000

@DarthAndroid "This is a collaboratively edited question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software."

Darth Android

Apple hardware means it can hold questions that SU can't

slhck

@DarthAndroid Heh, yeah, I've always been against having too many separate sites when they are overlapping

Linker3000

@slhck Hmm - I see that got quote downvoted

Darth Android

ergo, purpose.

kinda like how migrated questions work; someone on AskDifferent would still be taken to SU if they click on the question, but by tagging it with an apple-related tag, it'll still show up in the AskDifferent site like a normal question.

Linker3000

20:13

@DarthAndroid Yep, but it's a hardware and SOFTWARE site - says in the title

slhck

The thing is.. when you're in a grocery store and you ask for the most basic apples (heh), would they tell you to go to the fruit store next door?

Darth Android

Right.

So hardware and software questions are appropriate for it.

It's been stated before by the mods: When a question is appropriate for two sites, and it is on one of those two sites, it will not be migrated.

David

google.com/…

Linker3000

But I've never checked out that site, tbh :P

they'd be like symlinks.

so that questions which fit in multiple communities get the benefit of appearing in multiple communities.

Linker3000

@slhck Not what I said - I suggested that the Q's be pushed over

slhck

@Linker3000 it'd have the same effect though I guess.. nobody would care to ask on SU anymore if everything is moved there automatically

Linker3000

@slhck What's the problem with that if the Q is more suited to the other site?

Anyway...nuff of that.

Darth Android

20:19

But it's not in the example's you've provided.

@Linker3000 Because I don't think it's "more suited" at all, only "equally suited" (?)
