2008-10-15 02:07 <flips> the eee is back
2008-10-15 02:07 <flips> turns out what you have to do is spam the F9 key to get to the grub menu
2008-10-15 02:07 <flips> not what it says on the boot screen
2008-10-15 02:08 <flips> also there is advice out there for me that the little fan is so pathetic you can just disconnect it without affecting the operating temperature
2008-10-15 02:08 <flips> that is good news to be because the only thing I really hate about this little guy is the fan noise
2008-10-15 02:25 <pgquiles_> flips: wasn't the eeepc supposed to be ultra-silent?
2008-10-15 02:26 <flips> no
2008-10-15 02:26 <flips> not one of the advertised features
2008-10-15 02:26 <flips> but it is if you disconnect the fan
2008-10-15 02:27 <pgquiles_> which implies underclocking it, I assume

2008-10-15 02:27 <pgquiles_> "It is quieter than a whisper"
2008-10-15 02:27 <flips> on the other hand, silentpcreview measured the eee box pc at 22 db
2008-10-15 02:27 <flips> whereas asus claims 26 db, which is already extremely quiet
2008-10-15 02:27 <flips> 901 maybe
2008-10-15 02:28 <flips> mine is a 900, has a celeron-m
2008-10-15 02:28 <pgquiles_> flips: btw, how come you were not in the linux foundation summit? btrfs and ext4 were presented
2008-10-15 02:28 <flips> next year when there is working code
2008-10-15 02:28 <flips> actually, summit doesn't do anything of use
2008-10-15 02:29 <flips> we've already demonstrated we can get just as much pr from grassroots as you can by summiting
2008-10-15 02:29 <pgquiles_> with internet, conferences are mostly a place to meet people and see friends you seldomly see :-)
2008-10-15 02:29 <flips> right, it's mainly about the drunk
2008-10-15 02:29 <pgquiles_> :-D
2008-10-15 02:29 <flips> done plenty of those things in the past
2008-10-15 02:30 <flips> I'm actually more interested in outside events now
2008-10-15 02:30 <flips> doing linux conferences gets to be a lot like preaching to the choir
2008-10-15 02:31 <pgquiles_> indeed
2008-10-15 02:31 <flips> speaking of pr, there should be another post by tomorrow
2008-10-15 02:31 <flips> on design details of atomic commit
2008-10-15 02:31 <flips> code will follow not too long after
2008-10-15 02:32 <pgquiles_> you gotta write that book on implementation of filesystems in linux :-)
2008-10-15 02:32 <flips> maybe just collect all the posts and put a cover on them?
2008-10-15 02:32 <pgquiles_> heh, some cleaning and editing would be needed :-)
2008-10-15 02:33 <pgquiles_> for instance, put the code in the appropiate place among the text
2008-10-15 02:33 <pgquiles_> :-)

2008-10-15 15:51 <flips> nothing melting so far
2008-10-15 15:52 <flips> there are officially no moving parts on this eee now, unless you count the keyboard

2008-10-15 23:51 <pgquiles_> flips: did you see this? http://blogs.sun.com/erwann/entry/zfs_on_the_desktop_zfs
2008-10-15 23:52 <flips> fuse?
2008-10-15 23:54 <flips> oh, solaris
2008-10-15 23:54 <flips> hey, I have a great idea
2008-10-15 23:54 <flips> why don't we give Gnome to sun to use exclusively on Solaris?
2008-10-15 23:54 <flips> kill two birds with one stone
2008-10-15 23:54 <pgquiles_> :-D
2008-10-15 23:54 <pgquiles_> you are bad, very bad
2008-10-15 23:55 <flips> sometimes I don't try to hide it
2008-10-15 23:55 <pgquiles_> some guy implemented something like that for KDE3 a few years ago for NILFS
2008-10-15 23:55 <pgquiles_> but it was never committed to KDE's svn repository
2008-10-15 23:56 <flips> previous versions works with ddsnap
2008-10-15 23:56 <flips> I forget what the gui front end was
2008-10-15 23:56 <flips> so... what about a time travel interface for kde, and what to test it with?
2008-10-15 23:57 <pgquiles_> it'd be nice
2008-10-15 23:57 <pgquiles_> <searching for the KDE code>
2008-10-15 23:58 <flips> by the way, I wonder where people got the idea that infinite snapshots come for free
2008-10-15 23:58 <flips> there is this thing called churn
2008-10-15 23:59 <flips> and if you've got it, kiss your time travel goodbye
2008-10-15 23:59 <pgquiles_> http://www.sandeepranade.com/html/ComputerScience/time-travelling-file-manager.html
2008-10-15 23:59 <flips> it will be back to good ol hourly/daily/weekly and precious few of the latter
2008-10-15 23:59 <pgquiles_> oh, dead
