14:26.00boudiccasdick_turpin, yes, just putting the slap on before i go out! whats on your mind?
14:29.01dick_turpinboudiccas: Was just gonna tell you about irssi portable but apparently its not that interesting
14:29.25boudiccasi've used 'links' with very good effect
14:29.51boudiccasi've gone off irssi because i wasnt able to control my eggdrop bot when using it
14:30.23dick_turpinboudiccas: Ooh I'm sure I read they are evil somewhere
14:30.34boudiccasbut why not blog your portable version of irssi, maybe someone who reads your blog will find it useful
14:31.12boudiccaseggdrop bots have an undeserved bad reaction, but i've been running it now for over 7 years with no problems
14:31.16dick_turpinboudiccas: May do later, my site is picked up by a fare few 'Planets'
14:31.57boudiccasit'll all help drive people to your blog if they can learn something useful to them
14:32.13boudiccasuseful as well as interesting
14:32.25dick_turpinboudiccas: Yeah then I can start charging them :-D
14:32.31boudiccasplus that way i can read it later :)
14:33.10boudiccasyou'd have to get several hundred other blogs syndicated to yours to make any money you made out of your blog worthwhile :)
14:33.54boudiccasi'm not convicned that you could charge Joe Puiblic :) and i know you were only joking :)
14:34.00dick_turpinboudiccas: I'm getting a bit sick of blogs just lately, the shit people post is amazing
14:34.22boudiccassome people post good shit, others crap shit, some just shit shit
14:34.45boudiccasyou pick and choose what you read and whose you believe
14:36.04boudiccasme i post any old shit, when i can get on. still got to recover my old home partition using ddrecover
14:36.14dick_turpinboudiccas: I have most of the 'Planets' in my reader so I don't get much choice
14:36.55boudiccasand thats one reason why i've got to go into town, to pick up my new 250gig ide drive for £59 to recover a drive to
14:37.18dick_turpinboudiccas: But when people post just two words to their blog so that I suppose they keep their ratings up well I dispair
14:37.19boudiccasi use akregator as my reader and i pick and choose what nad whose i put in
14:37.35boudiccasso just ignore theirs and move on
14:37.40boudiccas*and
14:39.32boudiccasyou can choose to ignore one feed, or one planet or one post within that planet ... its all your choice
14:40.03secretlondonboudiccas: where are you getting the drive from?
14:40.08boudiccasi tend to ignore some people because they're posts are worthless and dont teach or tell me anything
14:40.10dick_turpinboudiccas: Cant I just nip round and shoot them then?
14:40.18boudiccasmy local computer shop

14:41.20dick_turpinI turned my comments section off. You can get enough abuse here :-D
14:41.31boudiccasi used to be on the gllug planet until they discovered that it couldnt cope with my blog postings
14:41.53dick_turpinboudiccas: Yeah them pictures.......

20:50.13resuDaedwethrin : do you know how to change the order of scsi adapters?
20:50.46etorixthe black art of scsi
20:51.49resuDaedyeah, the adapter that controls the external devices is being discovered first, so when I reboot, sda will become sde
20:53.12resuDaedand as the machine is powered up only at certain times by the bios, I won't always be there to control the order the disks come up
20:53.53DiscordianAlas
20:54.11Discordianthat's one of the stupider bits of linux
20:54.36Discordianmade worse now that libata treats IDE disks as scsi too
20:54.45resuDaedmmm, and all I want is a backup server while watching power consumption
20:55.06DiscordianThe solaris way c0t0d0s0 is saner
20:55.41Discordiancontroller number, target number, disk number, slice number
20:56.19Discordianhowever you can access stuff under /proc
20:56.33Discordianqnd use that in /etc/fstab
20:56.33Discordianand
20:56.42Discordianand that's invarient
20:56.43resuDaedI have found a method for controlling the order with devfs, but that's obselete
20:57.13wethrinYou have two SCSI adapters?
20:57.22wethrinChange the order of module loading?
20:57.36Discordianequally you could use disk labels
20:57.59resuDaedwethrin : wouldn't they be hardwired in to the kernel?
20:58.48resuDaedDisk labels would be a possiblility
20:59.15wethrinnot necessarily
20:59.42Discordianor UUIDS

21:14.27resuDaedplaying with the UUID idea, but my swap partition on sda doesn't have a UUID link
21:15.07Discordianwell swap won't I thinjk
21:15.18Discordianas it's not a file system
21:16.09resuDaedI know, but it still needs mounting and I have no idea where it will be (sda4 or sde4), and although I could put both in the fstab, it's a bit ugly
21:17.26resuDaedhaving said that, it's only smallish, I could always put it on the / fs
21:18.56Discordianas a swapfile?
21:19.23resuDaedDiscordian : yes
21:19.34resuDaedonly need ~512MB
21:19.42DiscordianIt should work
21:20.09Discordianthere's an overhead mediating swap via disk I/O
21:21.23resuDaedshouldn't be a problem, swap isn't really needed on the box anyway
