Capt.Crow Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 Thinking I'll bump this with some light banter.. Anyway ,as you see I logon almost every night . Then I catch up on all the new posts .I am learning a lot from the interaction between you guys. That's good for me. Keeps the cortex open . When that's done I drift over to the serious linux how'to pages Had a look at the ports last nite ,surprised there were NO surprises. Then after the serious stuff I go for a wander round the net looking for interesting footage ,news,movies, etc. Still havent got sound on Skype as Dmn.PulseAudio is back . Must have come down with the update/upgrade. Whatever. I have to get to terms with ALSA and find a way to make that my preferred sound *engine* ** If you watch above until they go in sync you're as crazy as me . 2 Quote

Guest LilBambi Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 likely need the whole URL. That URL doesn't have the domain. Here's one that has that: http://www.xmarks.com/site/www.justlinux.com/nhf/Programming/Introduction_to_bash_Shell_Scripting.html Quote
Capt.Crow Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 AAAhhh!!!!yesssss!! That's the ticket .. Many thanks for that. L.B. :star: Quote
Capt.Crow Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 Had a nasty nightmare last night . Cant remember it ,probably good as I woke up is a sweat . So this morning I went out in the truck for a plug around the local town and loaded up a ton of spoil from and hauled that home . I needed the exercise . Now the arthritus in my back is at me ,But I should sleep well tonite . Boring this aint it . I have to get an up to date book on Linux as the O'Reilly I have is dog eared out of date and only yadders on about Red Hat. So I have to do a fair bit of deciphering to get thing along on Debian. Still not competent with Deb. When I am satisfied or completely frustrated I will get back on to the other box and finish Slackware. Ah yes the past three days have been warm and sunny ,not the usual rain and drizzle ,so I got a bit more work on my roof done . While I've been typing this the "no icons " thread came to mind . This happened to me a couple of years ago . and as i remember it was caused by a virus called F-Nimba or something like that . Avira .got rid and after that no worries as I used that for a firewall afterwards. Maybe someone could do a trace and help that guy out . Now I'm going for a BIG WHISKEY .. :devil: Quote

Capt.Crow Posted June 3, 2014 Author Posted June 3, 2014 Motorhead . ha ha ha . used to drink with DickMick and lenny in the Marquis of Granby .down Portobello way . Great afternoons getting totalled in the beer garden . Dont remind me about the boooooti full chicks that used to keep the table full of beeeerrr. At least I had a Time to remember . :Hammys_pint: Quote
Capt.Crow Posted June 3, 2014 Author Posted June 3, 2014 The clip where the guy surfs over the bar Thats in Finches pub further down the hill .That was some pub . Run by an Irish chick called Rita . The Marquiss was comonly known as Henekeys. Ya gotta google those places . I'm off to do just that and take a walk down mmemory lane Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Ooooh! Hangin' out with Lemmy and the gang from Motörhead... that would be COOL! Quote
Capt.Crow Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Didn't seem cool then ,just normal . The first one of that crew that I met and got on really well with was Boss. Back in the old Deviants days when Mick Farren fronted . He was crap. Sandy left and I dissappeared on my roadmaster . Buzzed around all over England for a while .When I finally got back to London the guys had formed Hawkwind . That was a bit wishey washy so things changed again and boss and the guys reformed as M/head. Sorry it didn't seem like any biggy at the time . Just a bunch a freeks hangin out . Quote

Capt.Crow Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 The first time I heard about the Debian book it wasn't in print . I gonna get that out of the missus for me birthday next week Just another little tidbit. One day when Mandelkau and I were heading up to the guys flat .We saw that there were rehearsals on in the theater next door . So we looked in and saw that they were rehearsing HAIR,, Soooo we sat down in the pews and lit up and watched for a while . Pretty soon some guy came over to us and asked if we would audition . ( Jamie and I had dark hair halfway down our backs and were dressed in the London style). A bit of conversation ensued during which a big round sheet was brought out on stage .There was a lot of singing and then a dive under the sheet with a fair amount of hustling going on under there . Next thing a chick pops out in the starkers followed by another then a guy then more all starkers. When Jamie and I could pull ourselves off the floor we beat a retreat . Man we laughed till we bust a gut . There was no way we could have done what those heads did ,on stage ..Nooooo Way. Quote
ross549 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 To be honest, by the time a good book is produced, the information contained inside is out of date. Granted, with Debian it's not as bad. Debian's release cycle is very slow most times. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 The best Debian book I've ever read... The Debian System Quote
amenditman Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I got mine from O'Reilly for $45, might not be available anymore. Quote
Capt.Crow Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 I may be going to slip over the horizon for a while soonish .I've been ripped off to the tune of 15euro for going 360mb over the d/load limit. This has never happened before . All that's changed is the lad is using Tor , so I'm wondering if the proxy thing is the guilty one. It's also sailing time and I'm suffering a great hankering to be off on the big water . Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I'd have to think about that a minute or so. I'm not sure if TOR would use more bandwidth. It's possible. I may need to investigate. Quote
ross549 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 If you are allowing others to use you as an exit node, then yes, the bandwidth hit will likely be significant. Adam Quote
Capt.Crow Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 I think you are right . The last time Tor was used it ate 1.2gb as opposed to normal usage of between 450/700mb and they are long sessions. I will look and see if the Tor can be tightened up. Thank you for the inside track on this . Quote
Capt.Crow Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 The missus gave me a tiddley ikkle goldfish in a bowl one year for my birthday . And a funny look when she saw a couple of tears slipping down my cheeks. I had to explain that the motto in the house is *there are no prisoners under this roof*ever. Poor fish . This year its a Zelkova bonsai tree . I kept shtum! Poor tree. 1 Quote
Capt.Crow Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 http://www.steamtrainsireland.com/locomotives/ I asked the local station master about the steamer that goes through. He just referred me to this site . It's an amazing web site for steam buffs. 1 Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Speaking of Ray; haven't seen him here for a while. I just sent him and email to make sure all is well. Quote
Capt.Crow Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Ultra lightweight solar trains . I designed an all terrain solar train for Switzerland . Barely escaped the looney bin. :hysterical: Quote
