[03:00] * TankC  is away: I'm busy
[11:01] <shaunm> somebody should make neurosaudio.com redirect to www.neurosaudio.com instead of giving an error
[11:01] <shaunm> typing 'www' is so 20th century ;)
[11:04] <JoshMalone> no...actually giving DNS zones A records is so....evil
[11:04] <JoshMalone> I hate it and refuse to do it on anything I control
[11:16] <shaunm> evil how?
[12:08] <NC-17> i go with shaunm on this one
[12:28] <nerochiaro> JoshMalone: what's so wrong with that redirect ?
[12:48] <JoshMalone> I just don't like zones having A records
[12:48] <JoshMalone> but it seems I'm like the only 1 who feels that way now
[12:50] <NC-17> it seems like you are giving up a lot of usability just for being technical
[12:50] <JoshMalone> perhaps.
[12:50] <NC-17> in fact sometimes i think sites that dont work when typing it domain.tld dont know what they are doing?
[12:50] <nerochiaro> JoshMalone: i don't see the problem, and not doing it annoys users. where is the advantage ?
[12:50] <NC-17> err !
[12:50] <JoshMalone> but how hard is it really to tack www onto something
[12:51] <NC-17> too hard :)
[12:51] <nerochiaro> JoshMalone: but why should you impose that if it's useless ?
[12:51] <Clint> nerochiaro: you may want the IP to point elsewhere for any number of reasons. what you are espousing is a very web-centric viewpoint
[12:52] <NC-17> i dont disagree with clint
[12:52] <JoshMalone> for instance, mail might like to use the zone's A record
[12:52] <JoshMalone> and then you have email conflicting with www....so it's better to just not have either
[12:52] <nerochiaro> Clint: i know, but most of the time there's no other service exposed from the domain except web. the www is redundant in that case
[12:52] <NC-17> use mail.domain.tld
[12:52] <JoshMalone> then you're forced to use MX record for mail, and www. A record for web
[12:53] <Clint> what you really want are http srv records
[12:53] <Clint> too bad web browsers don't support them
[12:53] <NC-17> base it off port access
[12:53] <JoshMalone> but when addressed to domain.tld then what?
[12:53] <JoshMalone> that's what we have to do here and it sux
[12:53] <JoshMalone> : jmalone@banach; dig nrao.edu in A
[12:53] <JoshMalone> nrao.edu. 3600 IN A 192.33.115.2
[12:54] <JoshMalone> : jmalone@banach; dig nrao.edu in MX
[12:54] <JoshMalone> nrao.edu. 3600 IN MX 10 revere.aoc.nrao.edu.
[12:54] <JoshMalone> nrao.edu. 3600 IN MX 60 io.gb.nrao.edu.
[12:54] <JoshMalone> nrao.edu. 3600 IN MX 10 cv3.cv.nrao.edu.
[12:54] <JoshMalone> but it order for web users who don't type www we have to have a port redirect from our mail server over to the web server
[12:54] <JoshMalone> irritating
[12:54] <NC-17> hehe
[12:54] <JoshMalone> : jmalone@banach; host www.nrao.edu
[12:54] <JoshMalone> www.nrao.edu has address 192.33.115.6
[12:55] <nerochiaro> well, from a technical standpoint you're right. but uses just don't give a damn, you know ;)
[12:55] <JoshMalone> yeah- I know
[12:55] <JoshMalone> but I want to kill all users, so there
[12:56] * JoshMalone  IS a sysadmin, after all :)
[12:56] * nerochiaro  bows down to the admin
[12:56] <JoshMalone> LOL
[12:56] <JoshMalone> no - just have a clue
[12:57] <JoshMalone> I'd much rather users get a clue than supplicate
[12:57] <JoshMalone> OH - and for all demoscene fans:
[12:57] <JoshMalone> www.esnips.com
[12:57] <JoshMalone> I'm posting my hi-fi collection here slowly
[12:58] <nerochiaro> i sure don't want to mess with a sysadmin who loves demoscene music on top of that ;)
[12:59] <JoshMalone> lol - why?
[13:06] <nerochiaro> JoshMalone: because i mostly suck at being an admin, and being a demoscene fan gives you bonus points
[13:47] <shaunm> is there anywhere I can see some screenshots of the osd in action?
[13:49] <nerochiaro> shaunm: maybe in old posts on odnt, but i can also make a couple if you like
[13:50] <shaunm> would be much appreciated if you could
[13:51] <nerochiaro> give me some minutes
[13:59] <nerochiaro> shaunm: have an email ?
[14:01] <shaunm> shaunm@gnome.org
[14:02] <nerochiaro> hope you can receive large attachements
[14:02] <shaunm> only one way to find out :)
[14:02] <nerochiaro> done
[14:02] <shaunm> thanks much
[14:03] <JoshMalone> ZOMG! Gnome is trying to steal our interface!
[14:03] <JoshMalone> :) LOL
[14:03] <nerochiaro> you're welcome. it was a forward of some shots i sent around the last time someone else asked :P
[14:03] <nerochiaro> JoshMalone: thieves!
[14:03] <shaunm> hah
[14:05] <shaunm> no, but there is the danger that I'll start advocating building with gnome technologies
[14:05] <JoshMalone> lol
[14:05] <JoshMalone> gosd?
[14:06] <nerochiaro> shaunm: oh, the missing contender. now we have them all, gtk-osd, qt-osd and e17-osd. let's flame fest everyone ! ;)
[14:06] <JoshMalone> :)
[14:07] <shaunm> you've got qt and e17 people?
[14:07] <shaunm> what is the osd interface built with?
[14:07] <nerochiaro> none of these
[14:07] <nerochiaro> it's built on a custom widget set on top of nano-x
[14:07] <shaunm> what you want, of course, is clutter
[14:07] <shaunm> clutter-project.org
[14:08] <nerochiaro> openGL ?
[14:08] <shaunm> and, of course, the entire multimedia stack should be gstreamer...
[14:08] <shaunm> ok, I'm going to stop being the gnome dweeb now
[14:08] <nerochiaro> yeah, tell that to the proprietary DSP
[14:09] <JoshMalone> lol
[14:10] <shaunm> damn, doesn't look like the screenshots made it through
[14:10] <nerochiaro> oh, either you gmail or the gnome server ate them
[14:10] <nerochiaro> er, my gmail
[14:11] <shaunm> the gnome address is just a forward
[14:11] <shaunm> wolfram servers probably dropped it
[14:11] <shaunm> I think it's a 5MB limit
[14:11] <nerochiaro> gimme a place to upload them, and i'll just do it
[14:12] <shaunm> hmm
[14:13] <nerochiaro> oh, wait, i'll just forward in smaller chunks
[14:20] <nerochiaro> shaunm: got them ?
[14:23] <shaunm> I got part 1 at least
[14:23] <nerochiaro> so it's less than 5Mb limit. the part 2 was 4
[16:09] <shaunm> nerochiaro: www.gnome.org
[16:10] <shaunm> nerochiaro: if anybody else asks for them, so you don't have to do the email hassle again
[16:10] <nerochiaro> cool, thanks
[16:15] <JoeBorn> hi all
[16:15] <nerochiaro> hi
[17:38] <shaunm> so the osd basically obsoletes the mpeg4 recorder, yes?
[17:38] <shaunm> also, are the dac and 442 not produced anymore?
[17:44] <daurnimator> ohio
[17:46] <shaunm> good state. lots of roller coasters.
[18:26] <JoeBorn> shaunm, I'm not sure I'd say the OSD obsoletes the R2, the R2 is something like half the price of the OSD
[18:26] <JoeBorn> but the dac and 442v1 are not produced
[18:26] <JoeBorn> and 442v2 has long been put on hold unfortunately.
[18:33] <shaunm> JoeBorn: but the OSD can do everything the R2 can, yes?
[18:34] <shaunm> ooh, time to go
[18:39] <crweb> nerochiaro: ignore what I just posted to the list. I don't have a clue what I was talking about
[20:02] <JoeBorn> okey dokey, back at the scratchbox stuff
[20:09] <JoeBorn> hmm, now I can't ping the OSD anymore
[20:19] <JoeBorn> anyone there?
[20:20] <Clint> the OSD is powered off
[20:25] <JoeBorn> no, the OSD is on, there's something wrong with my vm
[21:19] <JoeBorn> hi hellwolf
[21:20] <hellwolf> hi JoeBorn
[21:20] <JoeBorn> my networking broken on that virtual machine, I'm trying to figure it out.
[21:36] <JoeBorn> anyone here know what the tftp is used for in the dev environment?
[21:36] <JoeBorn> what can it do that the nfs can't?
[21:38] <hellwolf> tftp is used by u-boot to load kernel (and initrd)
[21:38] <JoeBorn> oh, what does nfs do then?
[21:39] <JoeBorn> I thought uboot could boot from nfs
[21:39] <hellwolf> nfs is used when kernel loaded, tftp usually used before kernel loaded
[21:39] <hellwolf> yea, nfs is too complex to u-boot
[21:40] <JoeBorn> wow, ok.
