- some issue with rbraun logging into COBALT
- same as BROMINE
- need to debug sshd...
- POLONIUM moved
- ASTATINE might move sometime later
- more like copy of POLONIUM with features of ASTATINE
- B6 access, areese not here
- tinfoil... prospects not so good
- mdille3's metal wallet opened the door
- didn't try anti-static bags
- Apparently Hackers will be shown in McConomy
- Keith has managed to derail the meeting
- 7 segments displays that usually said "33" or "66"
- turbo buttons
- useful once...
- push it and computer goes faster
- no, unpush it, and it goes at a "compatible" speed
- like 16mhz IBM PC AT
- C64 disk drives
- 5.25" disk drive discussion again
- why doesn't anybody just have one?
- few people had PCs when those were in use?
- Eventually will want to hold a retro games night
- 486 from B6 probably doesn't work
- emulators for retro games?
- Rich will set up emulators on all the cluster machines
- really old PCs don't have good games
- CGA colors suck
- PC compatible on box - causes laughing
- console games?
- SNES is not retro enough
- "brick" GameBoy, awesome
- Etch shell... COBALT
- root partition should've been larger
- shutdown; lvextend; mount; mount -o remount,resize; resart
- split partitions
- probably a good idea, at least for /tmp, maybe /var
- how to change?
- mount several filesystems in Dom0, rsync -aH --numeric-ids
- the ssh login issue, will need to be solved, will take a long time
- this thread happened a long time ago, can't remember what has been
tried, if he tried logging in via console
- somebody should actually take a bit of time to try fixing this
- Event, movie night?
- Eckhardt interested in hearing about it
- Keith likes Sneakers
- haven't done it in a long time
- Wiki page listing the movies we've shown in recent history
- 22nd or 23rd?
- Retro committee (we have one?)
- 3B2
- it is an awesome machine
- got disk images for it
- Linux has kernel bug, can't mount System V file system with
boot sector
- awesie fixed the kernel bug, missing line that went away
- existed for seven years
- nobody has used the code since then
- awesie hand-disassembled the disk
- Western Electric 32100 processor
- that was largest electronics manufacturer you've never
heard of
- AT&T's subsidiary that made hardware
- 3B2 guy web site
- Lisa
- Michael: building disk emulator, reverse engineering keyboard
protocol from picture of 1980s Intel microcontroller
- massive sarcasm coming from Michael
- have we ever powered it on?
- if we haven't, should check that the power supply outputs are
sane
- lots of scary expensive Lisa stuff on eBay
- if Andrew gets keyboard, then Michael will make hard drive thing
- Google "Lisa Widget Profile"
- would be a very challenging project to get it working
- C64
- in Michael/Keith's hou
- definitely a huge distraction
- awesome stuff: Music Composer, Spy Hunter
- still thinking about making video cables for C64 and Atari
- can't get DIN-6 connectors in this country
- ordered from Britain
- Atari needs circuit board reworking for good video
- ZX Spectrum
- Real Reality => mdille3: related videos going to kill me
- watched ZX Spectrum demos
- they were terrible, ZX platform horrible overall
- bought ZX Spectrum +2
- shipping more than Atari cost
- Russian versions sucked
- wouldn't be able to get it out of Russia or Belarus
- like ZX Spectrum 128k, integrated cassette tape
- worldofspectrum.org, manuals had full diagrams, so could get close
to actually building one
- resolution too low though
- doing video magic, will display red, probe voltage, etc.
- type basic at it, figure out programming from emulator
- has no idea what connectors for it are
- so bought everything not available in this country, DIN-4,
DIN-2, SCART
- mdille3: should do real work one of these days
- anybody interested?
- Club supercomputer, how is it going?
- jwatzman: running folding at home could be interesting
- boinc is nasty, somebody who likes C++ could deal with that
- Nimbus, exactly what we need
- some sort of cloud computing thing
- might as well go ahead, do basic folding at home
- memory might become an issue
- Bureaucracy
- should look at form
- oh man, we will know members of all organizations on campus
- since OrgTracker does that now
- needs to be done
- form is basically the same
- Student technology organization networking lunch, actually have good food
