GarBage: are you still around?

[04:09]

<Yono>

hey ivel

[04:09]

<ivel>

hey

[04:10]

<ivel>

i have answers for GarBage if he's around.

[04:10]

<ivel>

it's a driver thing, or possibly a switch [layer 2] thing

[04:10]

yes?

<ivel>

what kind of NICs are you using?

virtual ones

TAP devices

<ivel>

3com and Intel Pro series both support it.

<ivel>

what os?

W2k prof.

[04:12]

<ivel>

it's driver level

[04:13]

nope, it's OS level

[04:13]

<ivel>

for windows 2k

[04:13]

<ivel>

Adapter teaming is not part of W2K. If intel nics you can either get the software off the intel cd or download from their web site.

[04:14]

<ivel>

what kind of switch is behind it?

[04:14]

yep, but teaming is not the same as bridging

[04:15]

the results are mostly the same, but not applied at the TCP/IP stack low level

[04:15]

no switch at all, they're virtual interfaces

[04:15]

well, actually one of them is a 3c905cTX

[04:16]

<ivel>

oh. i'm sorry, i didn't see the bridging

[04:16]

<ivel>

hrm....what is your end result wish?

[04:16]

a flat net

[04:17]

using a bridging VPN gateway

[04:17]

i did it on my Debian

[04:17]

and also on XP and W2k3 machines

[04:18]

but no dice with w2k

[04:19]

i suppose i could struggle myself with routing... but broadcasts won't work anyway

[04:19]

<ivel>

hrm...

[04:19]

<ivel>

i really don't know.

[04:20]

ok

[04:20]

thanks for trying

[04:22]

<ivel>

i would think it would be supported in 2k

[04:26]

<ivel>

what's the memory tester app in Knoppix?

[04:26]

memory tester?

[04:26]

<ivel>

isn't there a command that you can run that will do a lot of reads and writes to the memory?

<ivel>

and if it's bad you'd know it.

<ivel>

remembers something....but what it is...

there's a bootdisk to help you test your full range of memory

<ivel>

where?

[04:28]

www.memtest86.com

[04:28]

<ivel>

that's the one i'm thinking of...

[04:28]

<ivel>

that's part of knoppix i think.

[04:31]

<ivel>

GarBage: thanks

found myself an open hotspot :o)

[04:54]

<ivel>

weeeeeeee

[04:54]

<ivel>

cheers

[04:54]

indeed, sitting back having a coffee and a smoke, talking to you guys :o)

[04:56]

<Yono>

awesome

[04:57]

<ivel>

cafe?

[04:59]

indeed, a place called valentinos, in Canberra city

[04:59]

the WiFi node is run by some local linux nerds.

[05:00]

<Yono>

heh

[05:02]

anyway.

[05:03]

GarBage: anything more for me to put on the FLAC status page?

<Yono>

we have a flac status page?

<Yono>

nvm

neuros-firmware.sourceforge.net

<Yono>

heh, sure do.

:o)

[05:05]

<Yono>

its new, I'm so 3 hours ago :-D

[05:05]

pwarren: not ATM, i'm waiting a rendez-vous from Josh to start working on it

[05:06]

righto, I dare say we'll all know about it when flac goes live on the Neuros ;)

[05:07]

oh, i haven't noticed you found a place to leech, congratulation Paul

[05:08]

GarBage: Eh? U mean the WiFi hotspot?

[05:08]

yeah

[05:09]

well, I'm being sensible, no ISO downloads :o) just email and chat.

[05:10]

i wouldn't call emailing&chatting a sensible thing to do ;)

[05:10]

pr0n always makes more sense

[05:11]

lol, I guess so, but perhaps not in a public place

[05:11]

at least for me.

[05:11]

yeah, censhorship from the masses

exactly, I don't want the world to know what i'm like :o)

that reminds me a story...

<Yono>

I wonder why we haven't gotten any developers for MPC yet...

ooh, do tell.

1 minute while i'm rolling...

Yono, maybe not all that many ppl use it??

[05:13]

<Yono>

I mean, I don't, but it is a nice format for a lossy

[05:13]

I'd certainly never heard of it until it came up on the Forums.

[05:14]

all right

[05:14]

heh, rendez-vous := synchonisation primitive in ADA :o)

[05:14]

waits for story...

there he was, a friend of mine, working as a programmer for a very important software bussiness label

and getting almost every day pissed off by his boss

nods

<loup>

has joined #neuros

do that, code faster, this should be done yesterday...

you know, all those things

indeed.

and one day, his boss went on a bussiness trip

and left his computer turned off

oooh, this sounds good...

but called the office, for someone to turn it on

because he wanted to retrieve some documents he needed

so, my friend turned on his boss computer

and leave it there

a couple of minutes after

the boss called again

asking for someone to check network connectivity on his computer

because he couldn't get in

so, my friend went back to the computer

and fired up IE

to show the intranet page

the company name starts with an S

so, he typed S, on the location bar

and the history appeared ...

everything was like SHEMALES.COM

and shit like that

lol

<Yono>

lol

<loup>

hehe

so... he went further... and everything on the history were pages like that

[05:22]

a few months later my friend leave the company and buyed a pr0n shemale CD

[05:22]

which was left promptly and anonymously on his boss desk ;)

[05:22]

(point of english, buyed BAD, bought is correct)

lol, that's brilliant.

ok, thanks for correcting it out

<Yono>

silly irregular verbs :-D

silly english really.

who the hell wants to work for a guy who like chixx-with-dixx ??

Certainly not me.

[05:25]

but I guess you wouldn't really know until something like that happens.

[05:25]

maybe I'm just too square :o0

[05:28]

don't think so

[05:28]

*that's* being sensible

[05:29]

a guy is a guy, and a gal's a gal, do not mix up concepts, for god's shake

[05:30]

hmm getting a little off topic perhaps.

[05:30]

the sole idea frightens me

[05:31]

[05:32]

(Point of English: thanks for pointing it out, or, thanks for correcting me.)

[05:32]

what's ppls native language here?

[05:33]

mine's Spanish

[05:36]

a language I'd love to learn.

[05:37]

but I'm trying out latin atm. :o)

[05:37]

so Spanish should be easy enough after latin.

[05:37]

being a romantic language and all.

verbs are the most complicated stuff on the spanish language

master that, and you'll get the whole of it

as complicated as in latin, with various conjugations?

yeah

[05:39]

we do not have declinations as in german or latin, though

[05:39]

cool, latin's going to be a summer project for me. along with my new job.

[05:39]

why latin?

[05:40]

because most modern european languages have some basis in latin.

[05:41]

and because learning latin screams: INTELLECTUAL!

[05:41]

;o)

[05:42]

lol, sure you're gonna pick up girls easily just by saying LATIN!

[05:42]

hehe, not that i care about picking up anymore, but yeah!

[05:44]

shit, my firefox build stopped with errors

[05:44]

error C2039: 'SelectLocaleForProfile' : is not a member of 'nsDerivedSafe<T>' with T=nsIXULChromeRegistry

aaargh... 30 minutes compiling for that...

that sounds like poo!

30 mins, that's nothing.

being an LFS freak ;o)

[05:46]

I waited three days for an LFS compile to run, and it died on second glibc pass :o(

[05:46]

dude.. for the time it takes to build up XFree, a new version is out

[05:47]

well, on my older hardware, that was pretty much true. takes about 40mins on my 2Ghz athlon.

[05:48]

second glibc pass? i thought second passes were for divx ripping and such :)

[05:48]

well, you compile a static glibc to chroot into, then you build a _real_ glibc hopefully without any host system headers.

(LFS = Linux From Scratch)

u compiling firefox-1.0?

yes

haven't done that yet, I'm having a break from LFS...

using debian :o)

you're a smart guy

need more bandwidth for debian to work well

stay on debian

<ivel>

has quit ["Leaving"]

but 3.2 has about 100Mb of updates a week, that takes about 8 hours for me to download :o(

[05:51]

anyway guys, time for me to meet the fiance after her last exam :)

[05:51]

have a good one, and I'll bbl.

ok, enjoy your weekend

U to GarBage.
