06:03:43 <JarZ> http://www.ghen.be/raid.jpg
06:03:44 <JarZ> LOL
06:03:57 <JarZ> raid arrays explained
07:35:22 Join: Watchman ([email protected]) to #marryatvillehs
07:35:22 Mode: (by ChanOP) +o Watchman
10:22:31 <aSH^> lol
14:26:05 <stefan> nah, it wasn't me
14:26:39 <stefan> was just a little perl script he had to rerun with rmdir instead of mkdir
14:26:46 <Carson> WHAT?
14:26:54 <Carson> i hate it when i have to close my irssi
14:27:00 <Carson> no buffer ftl
14:27:06 <stefan> the main thing was that the files had the icons of a dick
14:27:13 <stefan> [20:29:41] (@stefan) haha, someone at uni:
14:27:14 <stefan> [20:29:45] (@stefan) i wonder if anything happened with andrew cranwell today
14:27:14 <stefan> [20:29:45] (@stefan) he left his mac logged in
14:27:14 <stefan> [20:29:50] (@stefan) and i accidently wrote a script that continuously created new directories
14:27:14 <stefan> [20:30:11] (@stefan) and afaik it was left running overnight
14:27:14 <stefan> [20:31:51] (@stefan) heh, apparently it stopped at 65535 files though
14:27:14 <stefan> [20:43:25] [Join] Carson ([email protected])
14:28:06 <stefan> so resulting in 65535 cocks on his desktop
14:29:39 <Carson> haha
14:30:40 <aSH^> lol, what's cranwell up to these days?
14:30:52 <stefan> 5th year something
14:31:22 <stefan> he's doing some work in comp sci taking pracs & tutes, other than that haven't really spoken to him
14:38:54 <aSH^> interesting
14:39:00 <aSH^> i haven't seen him since school
14:45:23 <stefan> I hadn't seen him for ages until this year, then see him taking a comp sci lab and then running a ieee student association thing
14:56:14 <aSH^> so you're back at uni now?
14:57:25 <stefan> kind of, things are a bit fucked atm
14:58:00 <stefan> doing elec eng, comp sci & maths, will drop maths tomorrow (WNF deadline), hope to do the other two still, but having a few health issues atm
14:58:23 <aSH^> ah ok
14:58:30 <aSH^> any idea how long your degree will take you?
14:58:47 <stefan> not really, always hoping 4 years from now
14:58:57 <stefan> can overload later if things improve
14:59:19 <stefan> and the subjects I'm doing are the ones that actually count, physics is meant to be first year but isn't a prereq for anything so I can do it whenever I want
14:59:42 <aSH^> cool
15:00:05 <stefan> and the maths I'm dropping I can pick up mid year and do in summer semester if I really want, we'll see
15:00:07 <aSH^> yeah I was in a 4 year program and then changed into a 3 year one in my third year, cos I just wanted to get it over with
15:00:47 <stefan> yeah, there's plenty of room to move still too, still getting people telling me I should do sound engineering instead, but that's completely different
15:03:55 <stefan> and I'm not sure I could cope with 4 years of that much cs either, the cool stuff in my course is the elec eng stuff
15:04:27 <stefan> past first year it becomes more 25% maths 25% cs 50% elec eng
15:05:32 <stefan> 'maths' being stuff more like the subject 'data structure and algorithms'
15:06:05 <stefan> though seems that's technically cs..
15:40:20 <Timegrinder> haha, seen that raid watercooler before
16:35:15 <aSH^> bahh i'm completely over working today
16:35:18 <aSH^> bring on 5pm
17:13:44 * Timegrinder brings it on in 17 minutes
17:14:46 <Carson> woo @ finishing at 4
17:17:24 <aSH^> can't you grind away some time, timegrinder
17:23:07 <JarZ> hihi
17:24:09 <aSH^> sup
17:24:58 <stefan> see nads sid
17:25:19 <stefan> we should move ash there hey, then we can kill off here
17:30:36 <JarZ> i keep telling ash/anthony/dylan to get someone from their house in there..
17:36:25 <aSH^> what are you talking about?
17:42:28 <JarZ> nads
17:46:55 <Carson> nad is awesome
17:47:16 <aSH^> ah, this is that download thing you were telling me about
17:47:37 <aSH^> our internet is already slow enough :<
17:47:49 <aSH^> don't need any more leeching happening
17:48:23 <Carson> its probably stuff that you're already downloading from elsewhere
17:48:31 <Carson> thus, it will actually save your bandwidth :)
17:51:06 <stefan> but it's more we use it for our general irc channel now
17:51:25 <stefan> but yeah, http downloads is good, we just need to get the alternative methods going too
17:51:48 <aSH^> nice
17:52:23 <stefan> everyone here + petem + prae + a few other old school people
17:52:24 <Carson> it'll be nice to use this window for something else too
17:52:42 <stefan> well the name is somewhat obselete
17:53:11 <stefan> though as I said in there, I nearly burnt the place down today, we were very lucky
17:53:26 <Carson> oh that was at mhs?
17:53:32 <stefan> yup, the music studio
17:53:36 <Carson> (I don't know who michael is)
17:53:47 <stefan> ah yeah, was directed at sid at first
17:53:53 <Carson> yeah
17:54:00 <Carson> *checks the nicklist*
17:54:07 <Carson> ash + bots are the only ones missing
17:55:14 <aSH^> so what's the channel?
17:55:47 <Carson> irc.mncs.info
17:55:52 <Carson> #nads
17:58:01 <Carson> do it.
17:58:17 <Carson> don't bother starting a new server, just connect to that instead of here
17:58:29 <Carson> overall scripters is dead, so not much point hanging around for that either
18:00:29 Part: Carson ([email protected]) from #marryatvillehs
18:01:11 <aSH^> lol
20:31:12 <stefan> just so it doesn't get lost in nads, I might suggest michael rearranges the studio a little after that near mishap
20:31:38 <stefan> and that tascam unit does appear to be discontinued as of just a week or two ago, but it is still under warranty, so what happens with that we'll have to see, may get a better one
20:33:01 <stefan> and for those that haven't seen it in the past year or two, http://home.stefan.id.au/~stefan/restricted/mhs/ is the studio now, and the 2 rack unit under the table/mixing desk is the thing that started smoking and I'm fairly certain could have caught on fire too if it had been in that position (provided by allans or somesuch, not us)
