From my Twitter stream:
| sun 05:21pm | Sitting alone in the hotel restaurant, having lunch. Registration is over. Food, then homeward, unless something better comes up. |
| sun 05:29pm | Sorry I've been pretty much write-only since Wednesday. When I haven't been busy, I've been exhausted. |
| mon 01:58pm | RT @dresdencodak: AR system that lets you see through walls: http://bit.ly/4oMiw1 |
| mon 03:56pm | Cube laws are a pain in the ass. You can't really build a proper dirigible that'll fly indoors. |
| mon 03:56pm | Even filling it with vacuum instead of H2 will only gain you 89 grams or so per kilolitre. |
| mon 08:56pm | Disappointed in my inability to read: the Shuttle X27D doesn't have an external 3.5" bay. Was SO close to buying one. |
| mon 09:46pm | Just saw an ad for The Box. My first question would be "Do I get $1M /every/ time I push the button? Can I rig up a button-pushing device?" |
| mon 10:40pm | Hail pounding Nerdvana right now. |
| tue 12:23pm | So, with all these usb monitors coming out, has anybody put out a vga to usb adapter? |
| tue 12:31pm | @tedder42 Yeah. It's just hard to find very small vga lcd monitors. |
| tue 01:37pm | I bought an 8gb flash drive for $20 yesterday. Overnight, woot had a 16gb for the same price. Stupid sleep. |
| tue 01:46pm | @gfish I wonder if I could get them to build me a walking table. I really just want something that will go where it's pushed, then stand. |
| tue 11:14pm | @tedder42 servers and portability. Want to be able to move it between machines and take it elsewhere. |
| tue 11:16pm | @tedder42 I agree on the desk. Arcturus has two 23"s, a 17, and a 15. Eventually to be 4x23. |
| wed 09:38am | Vista install cd doesn't even see Seginus as a valid drive to recover. Fuck it, Wiping XP and Vista, reinstalling Vista on Nekkar. |
| wed 09:40am | No, better idea. Leave the XP partition alone, wipe and reinstall vista, and get win7 asap. XP doesn't boot either, but. |
| wed 09:43am | "unable to find a system volume that meets criteria for installation", but no indication of what it doesn't like about it. Fucking windows. |
| wed 09:44am | @tedder42 Except I don't have a copy right now, and I need a windows box, right now. |
| wed 10:10am | @tedder42 I neither want to download it illegally nor pay retail price for it. |
| wed 10:46am | @tedder42 I have a solution to the retail thing, but it isn't immediate. ::) |
| wed 03:28pm | Holy crapmonkeys! I just found three cmbus adapters WITH cables at repc! |
| wed 04:37pm | Ended up getting 3 cmbus adapters for $4 each, plus a netgear network hard drive for $10. Latter probly broken, but worth a shot. |
| wed 04:57pm | Status of the ND520: the cpu fan was banging around loose. Put it back on. Device turns on, lights blink, it does not grab an IP. |
| wed 04:57pm | @tedder42 Console Management Bus. Video plus keyboard plus mouse in a tiny little connector for chaining servers together. |
| wed 04:58pm | @tedder42 Adapters come up on ebay once in a while for $20-$100 each. |
| wed 04:58pm | @tedder42 I've got a huge pile of servers that use it, but only three adapters. Well, 6 now. |
| wed 04:59pm | @tedder42 Sorry, 'Cluster' management bus, I think it is. |
| wed 05:06pm | @tedder42 Nobody uses it anymore, as far as I can tell, and it's impossible to find anywhere. Unless you hoard antiques, like me. |
| wed 05:11pm | Whee, the network drive is booted! |
| wed 05:14pm | And I can read and (sorta) write it. SMB only is a pita, tho, so I'll probably pull the drive and put a real linux on it. |
| thu 11:29am | Apparently the reason I couldn't install WinXP or WinV has to do with the MBR being screwed up. Probly why they wouldn't boot, too. |
| thu 11:33am | Pity I already reformatted the partitions several times trying to fix it. Reinstalling XP now. Yay. |
| thu 11:33am | I've decided to only have one windows system on Arcturus from now on. Seginus will become something else. Maybe linux. |
| thu 11:34am | I'm taking suggestions for OSes to put on Muprhid and Venabulum. |
| thu 11:52am | Ahem. 'Muphrid'. Spelling fail for me. |
| thu 11:53am | @scottru *blink* |
| thu 11:55am | @scottru First off, why are you using the name of a drink invented for /me/? Second, so, basically, it's a /username/. WTF. |
| thu 11:56am | @scottru I'm amused that one of its suggestions for me is "Marty's Enduring Fame". I kid you not. |
| thu 01:26pm | Ok. Wasted my entire morning with Windows. XP will install just fine now, but won't boot. Vista, oddly, won't boot to finish install. |
| thu 01:27pm | Oddly, because previously vista has installed on this machine just fine, no headaches. Oh well. |
| thu 03:29pm | @xopherg yeah, yeah, I know I didn't originate the phrase. But go to the Roosevelt Ale House and order one. |
| thu 04:51pm | Huh. So, apparently liquor store #101 (sodo, 4th ave) is closed? Still shows up on the website, tho. |
| thu 04:53pm | @perisaccadic I guess that makes nano the new beetle? I'll take mine in purple. |
| thu 10:17pm | @palousa oh, cool. Thanks! |
| thu 10:19pm | We have reached the never-throwing-another-party time of party prep. |
| fri 09:40am | http://bit.ly/2wOe0j |
| fri 09:44am | Things I need to do today: party preparations, including dishes, hauling stuff upstairs, some shopping. |
| fri 09:45am | Things I'd rather do today: Buy a few hard drives, install linux on them, set up new steamcon server and a network drive. |
| fri 12:02pm | @scottru does that mean you're coming to mine tomorrow? Also, cleanig for them is NOT fun. |
| fri 01:52pm | Linux installs work better without a corrupted iso. |
| fri 01:54pm | @steamcon I'm still waiting to see the picture of me sitting at the reg desk next to Domo. ::) |
| fri 01:55pm | @vixy I'd be SOOOOOO screwed. |
| fri 02:50pm | The Karmic installer isn't liking the packages file. I give up. Will try a different iso later. |
| fri 09:59pm | I've successfully put together a preseed that will autoinstall ubuntu how I want it. Now I just have to install less stuff... |
| fri 10:02pm | (I'm trying to get it to fit in 500mb. I don't expect to succeed.) |
| fri 10:07pm | @dianthus your timing kinda sucks. |
| fri 10:08pm | Holy crap, I think it might've worked! |
| fri 10:13pm | Eh, sorta worked. It boots, but the root disk is fullfullfull. Will do it again with a 2gb root part. sigh. |
| sat 10:04am | OMW to Mill Creek to get the cake... |
| sat 01:10pm | Tempted to ask the Hutchinson supporters in the Junction if they got there by ferry. |
| sat 01:10pm | @vixy wait and see |
| sat 01:16pm | @gfish awesome |
| sat 05:26pm | @Jenk3 ditto zombie flux. I still need to grab a copy of Martian. |
| sat 05:28pm | First guests have arrived (from out of town). Am showered, not less than 2.5hr before party. Still need to do makeup tho. |
