        the result is: 2 power stripes are melted, and I don't trust anything on that cable
      • luckily, as it's a modular power supply i just took the cable out and will bin that
      • CatCat: i sure feel like that!
      • warp
        in other bright ideas regarding hardware upgrades
      • ocharles
        i have a new 120gb ssd in, and that also caused a massive fucking amount of work. just plugging that in resulted in graphic card corruption, and eventually found out one sata port is dead
      • nikki agrees with CatCat
      • (so now 2/6 sata ports don't work - i accidently pulled one off when removing a cable years ago)

        I purchased a new wireless keyboard to use with my laptop on tuesday
      • ocharles
        so tempted to just buy a beefed up thinkpad
      • warp
        only after I tried to set up the connection I realized that my laptop does not have bluetooth.
      • ocharles
        haha
      • warp smart.
      • warp
        (purchased one of those small bluetooth dongle thingies the next day, and it's working fine now)
      • Freso
        ocharles: I've always had my RAM upgrades go smoothly. :|
      • ocharles
        Freso: me too
      • i just have had really bad luck this week
      • Freso pats
      • one of those weeks
      • Freso
        Yeah.
      • ocharles
        i have to do all my 7digital work in a windows vm...
      • and right now, it's painfully slow
      • Freso
        ...
      • D:
      • Their demand?
      • Or just for now?
      • ocharles
        well they are a C#/mostly windows shop
      • Freso
        Ah.
      • :/
      • warp
        ocharles: install windows 8!
      • (properly, not in a VM)
      • Freso
        warp: ... It's 7digital, not 8digital.
      • :D
      • ocharles
        warp: they use windows 7, but I think it might be much more productive if I do that
      • warp
        ocharles: "that" being install windows outside a VM?
      • ocharles
        ya
      • warp nods.
      • I now have 60GB ssd, and another 120GB ssd. I can put windows on the 60, and PostgreSQL + Linux on the 120
      • and everyone here laughs when I say I have 4gb ram, but I still think 4gb should be more than usable for a bit of dev work
      • maybe linux has made me too trusting of OSes
      • warp
        ocharles: I have 3.3GB in use, so 4.7GB memory free. and that is with a nagios vm running.
      • ocharles
        You work in windows now?
      • warp
        no, this is in linux.
      • ocharles
        right
      • warp
        for normal work 4GB should be fine, more is nice if you play with virtual machines.
      • ocharles
        yea
      • warp
        base memory usage on windows is probably a lot higher compared to linux though.
      • ocharles
        my motherboard only supports a max of 8gb
      • which is again why I'm wondering if it's really worth doing any upgrades other than drives here
      • warp
        my windows 8 machine is currently using 1.7 GB. (EAC + ps2 emulator + VLC running).
      • ocharles: I didn't have any issues using visual studio on windows 8 on that laptop (4GB memory), though I obviously wasn't building anything big.(

        cool

        ocharles: I think most of my used RAM (8GB in all) on my machine is taken up by caching a fair amount of my often used files in it.
      • (E.g., my Firefox profile, /srv/, etc.)
      • Most of that I probably wouldn't do if they were on an SSD. :)
      • voiceinsideyou joined the channel
      • But again, I'm also on Linux.
      • kepstin-work
        my setup is crazy - desktop has os on an ssd, and /home nfs mounted off a raid setup
      • kepstin-work relies a lot on ram caching on the nfs for performance, but he's also symlinked certain things onto the ssd for speed
      • Freso would like an SSD - but also a NAS to move a lot of his not-so-much used stuff to, even his 2 1TB disks are almost full now. :|
      • luks
        data hoarder :P
      • kepstin-work has 4 2tb discs in his NAS :)
      • kepstin-work
        guild wars 2 is making me want an ssd for my windows, tho; it's just on an old 500gb drive and game load times are horribly slow :)

        woot. annual worst list of CEOs is announced.
      • I'm pleased that I am not on it. :)
      • thanks for not starting a write-in campaign. :)
      • reosarevok
        ruaok: you clearly should be!
      • Given the reasons they give for FB guy being there :p
      • ruaok
        ha. :)
      • reosarevok
        "Facebook CEO's attire a sign of 'immaturity'?"
      • LordSputnik joined the channel
      • I don't doubt the guy's an imbecile, but it's kinda ridiculous that people still give a fuck about how others dress
      • It's the 21st Century ffs :p
      • LordSputnik
      • ruaok
        reosarevok: in the valley no one cares.
      • but these stupid professors who make dumb lists like that, still care
      • Freso
        ruaok is clearly one of the worst CEOs of last years, based on his hair alone!
      • I mean, orange and purple? Really?
      • ruaok
        srsly.
      • and have you seen his GF?
      • he picked a fiancee so that she would match his web site. loser!
      • Freso
        Really?
      • ruaok
        really, he is a loser.
      • Freso
        Heh.
      • LordSputnik
        isn't that insulting to the term loser?
      • ruaok
        ouch. :-)
      • LordSputnik
        i think fellow losers would be offended :P
      • also
      • why is my nick back...
      • Freso
        You should've picked an orange/purple lass to wed instead of Aleta.
      • White women are so last millenium.
      • Ben\Sput
      • ruaok
        I kinda like her. I think I'll stick close to her. :)
      • Freso
        Yes.
      • ruaok: Aw.
      • Ben\Sput: Or a n'avi with orange hair.
      • Well, I guess they're more blue.
      • Hm.
      • Ben\Sput
        Freso: a n'avi with orange hair would look so strange :P

      • Seriously though. He may be a loser, but wearing a hooded sweatshirt only shows a lack of respect if you interpret is as such. It's as much disrespect on their side to not allow him to wear whatever he wants. What he's wearing is not making him better or worse at making decisions about the business.
      • Anyway, I'll read this stuff and continue my studies. ruaok, poke me in #musicbottle if you want to discuss Bottle stuff. :)
      • warp
        ruaok: I've set up the nagios postgres lock check, insofar as I can. can you do a "git pull" on boojiboy when you have some time?
      • ruaok
        warp: thanks. plz send me a quick email about that.
      • warp
        ruaok: ok, will do.
      • ruaok
        I'm in the middle of contract signing stuff. (again)
      • warp

        \o/ got a working waveplot scanner
      • hawke_
        What’s it do with mutagen?
      • Oh, read MBID?
      • Ben\Sput
        yeah
      • then it uploads the image to my server as <mbid>.png
      • eventually i'll make it put it in a folder so we can compare two images of the same track
      • and then you can view the waveplot at http://pi.ockmore.net/recording/<mbid>;
      • Freso
        Ben\Sput: "Source Code (for other systems - please compile using g++ and -std=c++0x)" - where is the source available from?
      • Mineo
        Ben\Sput: you can use mutagen.File to get rid of your 'if file_ext' things :)
      • Ben\Sput
        I know, I needed it for some reason though
      • I took the code from Warp, which uses the custom id3 class from picard, so I couldn't do it there
      • will make the source code available now
      • it's not pretty though :P
      • Mineo
        you can also simply walk sys.argv[1] to let people specify the folder with their audio files :)
      • Freso
        Ben\Sput: I don't care. I just want to stick it to a PKGBUILD so I can do `makepkg -isc` and have it take care of everything. :p
      • ruaok joined the channel
      • Ben\Sput: Does WaveformImage need to be in the same directory as scanner.py? Is it used as a module?
      • Ben\Sput
        WaveformImage is called by scanner.py
      • using subprocess
      • so it does need to be same directory
      • just modifying scanner.py to try to find the exe when it starts
      • Freso
        Ben\Sput: Same directory - or in $PATH?
