Have you seen the series "History of Scotland" or whatever it is by the guy from Coast? Most of the "Scottish" identity was invented by Walter Scott.

certainly the "highlander" bit

voretaq7

@ScottPack nostalgia: YOU CAN HAS

Scott Pack

@Andrew "Sir".

Andrew

@ScottPack "Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet" but the article title omits the honorifics

Scott Pack

Which article?

Journeyman Geek

@Andrew: you mean the scots didn't have immortals running around, lopping each other's heads off?

Andrew

00:12

@JourneymanGeek no, hence the lowercase "h"

Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (15 August 1771 – 21 September 1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright, and poet, popular throughout much of the world during his time. Scott was the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers in Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and poetry are still read, and many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The...

Scott Pack

I suppose that makes some sense, since the article is intended to be about the person and not the title, and should be categorized accordingly.

Mark Henderson

@JourneymanGeek Hah. When I was a kid I wanted to be a highlander.

Scott Pack

@MarkHenderson Well of course. That's our childhood!

Andrew

Sorry, never seen it. I did watch something equally crazy last night though: Mad Max.

Mark Henderson

@Andrew Mad Max was a good movie

Scott Pack

00:21

Except for Highlander 2. I just pretend that never happened.

Mark Henderson

Like The Matrix trilogy, #2 and #3, not so great

Scott Pack

THUNDERDOME!!

@voretaq7 So do you want to be Master or Blaster?

voretaq7

@ScottPack well, blaster gets killed...

Scott Pack

00:22

@voretaq7 Honestly. That could really be either a blessing or a curse.

Mark Henderson

@voretaq7 8 users enter, 9 users leave, and -255 users are left, because they forgot to use a unsigned int

They probably also blindly used the pointers without checking to see if the contents made any sense.

pointers? people still use them?

@Andrew Goddamn JavaBabies

Scott Pack

I had a professor who required all code be built with -Wall -Werror. I can't tell you how many times I ended up casting as void * just to get the gorram compiler to stop complaining.

Andrew

Firefox spellcheck has decided that neither "learnt" nor "spellcheck" are words.

Journeyman Geek

do not doubt the computer!

@ScottPack: I had to walk my professor through putty

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack Been watching FireFly lately? ;)

Journeyman Geek

/me can't wrap his head around a primarily manageral IT guy

Scott Pack

00:29

@JourneymanGeek Thankfully, I didn't have that problem. These guys actually do good work and are, you know, competent.

@MarkHenderson Not lately, no. I may have to shuffle it into my rotation.

Journeyman Geek

@ScottPack: Well, the thing is, when we have IT management related modules the guy knows his shit

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack Your use of the word "Gorram" makes me think its had a permanent affect on your lingo ;)

Journeyman Geek

the moment we're talking about stuff thats hands on tho...

Mark Henderson

For what it's worth it took me about a year to stop saying "frack" after watching the entire Battlestar Galactica series in about 3 months

Journeyman Geek

lol. My entire vocabulary of cusswords is from sci fi.

Scott Pack

00:30

@MarkHenderson You see, I come home for lunch every day. I like to queueueueueueueueueueueue up TV series and watch half an episode while eating.

Andrew

@MarkHenderson ever play the boardgame? the new one?

Scott Pack

@MarkHenderson Finishing up SGU right now, thinking I may hit Caprica next.

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack I used to do that, but I discovered it got too frustrating to stop half way through

@Andrew Nope

Last board game I played was Settlers of Catan and my sister and brother-in-law destroyed everyone else

Scott Pack

@Andrew You talking about this one? boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37111/battlestar-galactica

Andrew

BSG is great fun

Mark Henderson

00:31

@ScottPack Caprica was OK, but it was a bit weird

Andrew

@ScottPack yep

Scott Pack

@JourneymanGeek Ah, yeah, that would suck. I came out of a CS program in the Engineering college. All of that IT stuff was taught in an entirely different college at the university.

Andrew

with various parts of both expansions

Scott Pack

@Andrew I really dug it, but it wasn't really a BSG show, it was just based in the same setting. I think, more than anything else, that's what killed it. Same with SGU.

Journeyman Geek

@ScottPack: part of the problem I guess is I'm in a computer forensics program, and there's not many people who can teach it

Andrew

00:33

I haven't seen any BSG, old or new.

picking up on it from playing the boardgame, though.

Scott Pack

@Andrew I've played it a few times, thought it was a really interesting setup. I think, much like a gothic horror game, you really need the right group to play with. I don't have one of those now, and even the group I did play it with wasn't great for it.

@JourneymanGeek That would be a hard one, yeah. It is funny though. Of both my undergrad and grad program I only had about 3 weeks of coursework that was directly applicable to my job.

Journeyman Geek

@ScottPack: guy who wrote the course is a ex cop/aussie intelligence agency guy. Guy who teaches at the local campus used to be working for various government TLAs doing IT management ;p

Scott Pack

@JourneymanGeek And that was the 3 weeks in Advanced OS where we were writing an ext2 filesystem driver for Solaris (on SPARC). That section has been invaluable to my forensics work. Pretty much everything else has been relegated to useful context.

Journeyman Geek

@ScottPack: thats.. unusual

Most forensics courses are very much at the high level

I haven't touched a single line of code in the past year ;p

Scott Pack

@JourneymanGeek Which is really lame. Sure, you really need to understand evidentiary procedure and all that. But how can you really do file carving or slack space analysis without understanding how the filesystem is put together?

/me sighs

Right. Crying toddler.

Night all.

Journeyman Geek

00:38

@ScottPack: annoyingly? We haven't ever done either

Mark Henderson

Fun fun ;) Cya

Scott Pack

@JourneymanGeek Or building event timelines for tracking root cause of compromise, or user activity for finding evidence supporting, or clearing, culpability.

Phaw

Journeyman Geek

oh, that we do

Most forensics programs are written by cops after all

Scott Pack

Which is unsurprising, and quite unfortunate, why the actual technical stuff wouldn't be in there. I mean, all those things you say you do do require the things you say you don't.

Ss an anecdotal data point we provide the forensics services to the cops.

This is a proposed Canonical Question about IPv6 Subnetting. I know a lot about IPv4 Subnetting, and as I prepare to (deploy|work on) an IPv6 network I need to know how much of this knowledge is transferable and what I still need to learn. IPv6 seems at first glance to be much more complex t...

OK, please help me improve it.

Andrew

What is IPv6 and how do I get it? Are there such things as reserved private ranges? etc. etc.

can ipv4 map to ipv6 or does it all need to be thrown out?

Do I need to replace all my IPv4 hardware?

Shane Madden

So.. regarding GoDaddy

Looks like they only have one AS number (26496), and it only peers with two ISPs?

ewwhite

@ShaneMadden Ooops... that's no good.

what would be appropriate?

Andrew

their entire image has always struck me as unprofessional. Really, what sort of IT company sponsors racecars, has a silly cartoon logo, silly jingle, and uses Grid Girls in its ads? Or advertises on TV at all?

WesleyDavid

@Andrew Dell? HP? IBM?

Oh wait... no cartoons for them.

Joel E Salas

01:11

@Andrew They're professional shitheads

Andrew

I've not seen Dell, HP or IBM trying to seduce me into buying their product

Shane Madden

@ewwhite More ISPs, at least - and more geographic locations with their own AS numbers (and their own DNS servers). I'm sure they've got a fairly beefy pair of routers handling the advertisement for the AS, but as far as a DDoS goes, it's a single point of crunch.

Andrew

"We'll take care of you!" (wink wink)

Shane Madden

Actually there's more peer AS numbers showing up now than when I looked a bit ago

Scott Pack

@Andrew You should see Intel. You wouldn't believe the metric assload of booth kit I've seen them throw out.

Andrew

01:14

Ok, so when Intel are advertising on TV it's usually some retailer pushing ultrabooks

Scott Pack

What I've seen are either marketing flip-books on their processors or just Intel branded junk.

Scott Pack

There's another explanation for the staring.

Mark Henderson

That's why I have to put my head in a paper bag. Flip side, paper bags + kitty == fun!

Andrew

I tried it and gave up. Then I discovered MSYS and VirtualBox.

Mark Henderson

01:44

@ScottPack Which is? That they're afraid that if they look away their heads will explode?

@Andrew MSYS sort of a step in the right direction :p

I'm guilty of using wget

And tail

Journeyman Geek

/me uses gow

but mainly cause I am guilty of cut and grep abuse

Scott Pack

I generally end up using awk instead of cut.

Andrew

virtualbox shared folders, yeah

Mark Henderson

I do not believe this. I just had our new sales guy ask me "There's no porn at work, right>?"

2

Scott Pack

I know, right? Why would he even bother asking.

Of course there's porn at work!

Mark Henderson

01:48

@ScottPack Unless you're @ewwhite

Andrew

The only place where that would be sane to ask would be if you worked for a porn site.

Journeyman Geek

(or a proper nix-clone. pick a flavour)

Andrew

oh, right.

Though I suppose it'd be like working for a pharmaceutical company and expecting free samples

Scott Pack

@MarkHenderson Why would @ewwhite need porn at work? Doesn't he already get the daily dose of hawtness from a mirror?

Journeyman Geek

@JoelESalas It turns out that's what iPads are for.

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack I was referring to the work he did for brazzers, but yes, your statement is still valid

@sysadmin1138 Hah, did you see the video of the guy caught looking at porn in the backgroudn of the finance report

Scott Pack

@sysadmin1138 Oh yeah! I saw your teaser post about that. I meant to look into it.

sysadmin1138

@ScottPack One security-person of my acquaintance has drooled over it already. Apparently if you've ever handled eDiscovery via a certain package beginning with the letter L, what we wrote is jaw dropping.

Scott Pack

@sysadmin1138 I've never been involved in any actual eDiscovery software. Thankfully all of ours have been pretty specific, and we come at it from the forensics starting point.

sysadmin1138

Ah yes, so you deliver the goods unto the people who have to deal with that stuff.

Scott Pack

02:03

@sysadmin1138 Allegedly. More often than not the request is specific enough that our product is pretty easily human browsable. We've only a couple of times gotten requests for cases that would have been big enough for big boy tools.

I have to say, it was pretty neat to see CNN reporting on an FBI case that you got to provide evidence for. That was a highlight. :)

sysadmin1138

@ScottPack Yeah, really.

Cases People Have Heard About occasionally come through our office (for the old product, currently on Internet-vacation due to marketing push for the new product).

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack It's neat isn't it :P Our software was used for collecting field data that was used to prosecute a bunch of companies who made fradulent reimbursements to the government

Scott Pack

@MarkHenderson Lucky you. The only cases I've ever worked on that actually made it into news involved pictures/video and alleged children. What I wouldn't give to make the news on fraud.

@sysadmin1138 So Logikcul is all cloudy whatnots, right?

sysadmin1138

@ScottPack It's all over the marketing for a reason.

Andrew

...data retention? wot is dat?

Scott Pack

02:09

So how do you deal with importing, what is generally, fuck-tonnes of data? Shipped media and local imports?

Mark Henderson

@ScottPack It was a huge project. We had 500 Windows Mobile 6 devices (vomit) in the field doing inspections of 500,000 installations, generating about 200gb of data a week, all collated into neat exports to be analysed by the auditors

sysadmin1138

A little of both. The app has a direct import function so you can upload a zip-file of whatever your bandwidth can tolerate. For big stuff (or special needs projects) ship us a drive and we'll do the import.

Scott Pack

@sysadmin1138 For a couple of gigs uploading doesn't necessarily seem that unreasonable, but it's getting to the point that a single pst could be that size. If your'e looking at, even a small department, I could imagine the email payload to be 10+GB alone.

Andrew

is that including or excluding pictures of cats?

sysadmin1138

@ScottPack Don't we know it. PST-handling has been a big focus for us, as it's the email-format of choice for corporate-types.

Scott Pack

02:12

@sysadmin1138 I'll bet. Kind of hard to get away from it.

sysadmin1138

@Andrew Oh, including of course. One of our key features is de-duping out mass-forwarded cat-email chains to one email.

Andrew

awesome

sysadmin1138

Andrew

or the other one?

Mark Henderson

@Andrew Windows DNS is not magical. it works fine. But Windows does not just use DNS for its name resolution

DNS is just one part of Windows name resolution.

And it's the same for *nix. It uses hosts and then uses DNS if that lookup fails

Shane Madden

Are they ever gonna kill netbios name resolution?

Mark Henderson

Using nslookup is not a good test of any name resolution, it's just a good test of DNS name resolution

@ShaneMadden I fucking hope so. I'm sick of having to maintain short computer names

Joel E Salas

@ShaneMadden First thing I do on any Windows box is turn that shit off. Fuck NetBIOS.

Shane Madden

Joel E Salas

@ShaneMadden It is the prerogative of just men to not suffer evil to survive.

HopelessN00b

@JoelESalas Yeah. Try using two PCs with the same NetBIOS name on a Windows domain, for example. Gets ugly, even if you disable the fucking thing.

Andrew

the europeans had a better idea: eliminate as many dice as possible

use cards instead

or use multiple d6

Scott Pack

02:42

I was recently hearing about a game that uses cards for initiative, with a redraw every round. That seemed pretty interesting, but I can't remember what it was.

Michael Hampton

@HopelessN00b Yeah, I thought it was right, but my guess is he either did something wrong, or didn't wait for the new policy to get pushed.

Scott Pack

@Andrew There are lots of US games that use gobs of d6s as well. They usually involve some kind of dice pool mechanic.

The old Ghostbusters RPG from West End was one of those.

Andrew

hmm, I forget who did Kingsburg

HopelessN00b

@MichaelHampton Yeah, my money's on something like that. I'd guess you're right too.

Andrew

oh right, lots of people including FFG

Journeyman Geek

02:44

@ScottPack: people used to do that with larger battletech games

Andrew

category: dice, mechanic: dice rolling. mmm

Scott Pack

@JourneymanGeek When my old group first started playing DnD 3rd we rolled for initiative every round. I did really like the dynamic feel that it gave combats, but it really seemed to bog things down. I am mildly considering bringing up the card draw notion as a way to get that dynamic feeling without piling more crap on the board.

Andrew

anything with setup or gameplay more complex than settlers is out for me.

Journeyman Geek

@ScottPack: thats precisely the idea tho. rolling initiative per player breaks down with anything more than 4 people

ESPECIALLY with games that are dice heavy

Scott Pack

@JourneymanGeek And it's funny how quickly it breaks down. Four is ok, 5 is annoying, 6 starts to get downright painful.
