These are 600 lumen bulbs. But quite adequate. In fact, I turned down the brightness on the bulb in the kitchen.

It's also worth noting that the elements aren't really RGB. They're optimized for lighting instead of colour fidelity, so CIE 1931 mapping is wonky.

As far as warming the bulb as intensity goes down, that doesn't happen automatically, but colour temperature is fully adjustable. I have these set to 340 mireds, which is about 2950 K, and is pleasant to my eyes.

I'll grant the price is steep, but what about them was not user-friendly? The mobile app is getting rave reviews, and the underlying access to the base station is bog-standard REST.

This thread needs to be resurrected. So I'll start, since I finished writing this up:

http://www.floodgap.com/etc/machines.html

But that would mean I'd have to actually exercise.

It is a nice ZigBee bridge, I agree. I had to eventually move it out into the commons area though because the can lighting one of the bulbs sits in basically acts like a semi-Faraday cage and was only intermittently responding. I also tweaked HuePl to "try hard" since sometimes the bridge twiddles its thumbs a bit.

The lights were a big hit for New Year's Eve (though the pinball machine helped more).

I said that right up until I installed them. Buyer's remorse evapourated. Really, I love these things.

But they are novelty lighting; I just love how adjustable and (for a mainstream commercial product) open their access is.

You don't have a contract with Apple, do you?

I'm planning to get one. Even if FOS turns out to be FoS (you look up the acronym), I think we need a number 3 to challenge the false choice of Android vs iOS. I say this as the owner of a Galaxy Nexus, of course.

Nice work!

You know what, Stuart? I like you. You're not like the other people who have Android phones here in this trailer park.

Des Moines, Iowa! Perfect example!

Why would I waste a hot young bimbo in a French maid outfit I'm renting on carrying a normal-sized computer around for me?

Actually, yes! And it's not a bad city. But you should see the soil. The government says it's due to poor farming, but I know what's really going on.

Man, you'll dance to anything.

Nope!

Most of those look like you need local access already. However, this one looks very promising: http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/20149/ ... assuming it's running Telnetd, assuming you know its IP (or arp -a might be able to tell you).

It also looks like you can execute arbitrary commands on the box through in.lpd using http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/10033/ (look at the socket code; you don't need Metasploit to actually do what it's doing), again with similar assumptions.

To crack into my own Indy, I ended up mounting the filesystem r/w and changing the password file from install media, but obviously you need install media for that.

Good luck! It sounds like a nice box!

Although my main server is RAID5, it's three relatively small 73GB SAS 15K drives, so if one goes boom it should be able to rebuild quickly enough when I get the spare installed.

The file server is also RAID5 with three 500GB SATA drives, with a hot spare online. The main server does a daily filesystem dump to it, which is versioned, plus more frequent snapshots of the mailboxes. My workstation also does a daily dump to it only of specific files. I then throw a copy of the fileserver in an undisclosed offsite location at regular intervals.

Neither have had issues in years, but threads like this make me sweat.

I didn't get much traction on cctalk, so maybe someone here knows. I got an external SCSI cable for my VAXstation 3100 M76 and connected it to my old Apple SCSI CD-ROM that boots pretty much anything in my collection (Apple, SGI, you name it). I popped in OpenVMS 7.3, turned on the VAXsta, and at the chevron prompt,


It just sits there. So I tried it without the /r5 bit:



So far so good.


And it just sits there, again.

I'd rather use an external drive than pop the top off the VAX, but I'm quite sure the CD-ROM is acceptable to it; why would it boot from it, but not restore from it? I tried a 7.2 CD and got the same thing.

There is not a track on "Death Rides a Pale Cow" that I don't like. The ultimate retrospective for the ultimate underappreciated punk band.

Joe - Oh wow, how'd you get a car?
Rod - Oh, my parents drove it up here from the Bahamas.
Joe - You're kidding!
Rod - I must be, the Bahamas are islands. Okay, the important thing now, is that you ask me what kind of car I have.
Joe - Uh, what kinda car do ya got?
Rod - I've got a BITCHIN' CAMARO!

(Yeah, I hope those guys have a good sense of humor and don't take us to court.)

It's a CD-R, but like I say, why would it *boot* from it (which you would think would be stickier), but won't restore from it?

I suppose I'll have to drag it on the workbench but it's going to be a pain in the butt since I found it a nice corner and I'll have to move everything around.

The greenery definitely adds something.

What exactly is in your changes directory? Patches, or actual files?

If they are patches, you should hg import them, with --no-commit if you don't actually want a commit for each patch.

If they are files, copy the files to their destination, overwriting them if necessary. Now do an hg status. You should see a list of the modified files, something like

M foo/bar.c
M foo/baz.c
M woz/wuz.h

If you see

? my/new/hotness.cpp

this means a file Mercurial doesn't know about, and it will ignore. If this is a new file, you need to hg add my/new/hotness.cpp, and then it will change to "A" (meaning it will be added to the repo).

At this point you can do an hg diff for a naked diff without committing, or hg commit the changes and later hg export that specific rev (hg export -r 98765) if you want the diff in the future. You can take that and use it as a changeset for hg import (see below).

If you want your changes to float to the top, here's how to do that (I track the Mozilla rapid-release repos and have the TenFourFox changesets layer on top):

- hg export all your current local changesets somewhere.
- Make a new clone repo with hg clone http://url/of/the/repo , and specify the desired rev if you want. All pulls will now come from the master repo, which is what you want usually.
- hg import your changeset(s) in numerical order by rev. If you get conflicts at this point, merge them, then hg commit, then continue with the next changeset until all are imported. You are now current.
- When you want to pull new changes, hg pull, and then hg rebase (NEVER hg merge in this circumstance). You will undoubtedly get some merge conflicts, each of which you manually resolve in $EDITOR, and then hg resolve -m to commit the resolved merge. When ready to continue the rebase after a conflict is resolved, hg rebase --continue.

My advice is, start with a fresh clone of the upstream, make your changes again to the current rev, and then hg commit. When you're ready for an update, hg pull and hg rebase as above. Conflicts it can automatically resolve it will; conflicts it cannot you must (and then hg resolve -m and hg rebase --continue).

I agree that hg merge is a total misnomer; it rarely does what people expect it should do.

Hmm, okay. I'll drag it onto the bench and try it with the Plextor I got with it.

It's not at all obvious what has to be done. I had to figure this out myself. You wouldn't believe the number of times I ended up pulling mozilla-central until I got the steps right ...

Dude, I'm signing. The new JavaScript-infested Google Groups bites turgid moose wang. Even with JIT on my Power Macs with TenFourFox, it still chugs. Without it, it's nearly unusable.

I don't understand what was broken about the old Groups that they had to "fix" it.

The C8000 is really the PA-RISC workstation to own. I have sort of a nostalgic attachment for the C3750, but only because I used to administer one. I have two loaded C8000s and I think between them I paid barely $200.

I suppose people like the B2600 form factor, but $2.5k is just stupid.

Ooh. Is there a step by step guide for that? I do have SIMH on my G5.
