Mar 06 01:37:16 <rwhitby> morning
Mar 06 01:37:54 <peteru> hi rod
Mar 06 01:38:10 <rwhitby> peteru: I'll fix the PDF thing
Mar 06 01:38:33 <peteru> I'm just wondering whether it should go in there or not.
Mar 06 01:39:45 <rwhitby> pdf upload fixed.
Mar 06 01:39:47 <peteru> It's the Product data sheet for Realtek RTL8100C(L) PCI Ethernet controller.
Mar 06 01:40:03 <rwhitby> is it a public spec?
Mar 06 01:41:00 <peteru> Currently downloadable from the Realtek site, but I am slightly concerned about such material disappearing in the future, as the fortunes of a company change.
Mar 06 01:41:32 <rwhitby> if it's currently publicly downloadable, then I agree whe should "cache" it on our site.
Mar 06 01:41:43 <peteru> OK, I'll make it so.
Mar 06 01:41:59 <rwhitby> did you say that in a Picard voice?
Mar 06 01:42:26 <peteru> Yes captain!
Mar 06 01:42:46 <peteru> In Riker voice
Mar 06 01:42:58 <peteru> ;-)
Mar 06 01:52:42 <rwhitby> with the beard and all?
Mar 06 02:07:00 <peteru> Well, I do have the beard, but not the hair.
Mar 06 09:25:17 <tonymy01> sorry for the 200million reboots
Mar 06 09:25:34 <tonymy01> got a 500G drive last night, and it is cactus, doa
Mar 06 09:25:47 <Yuv422> hey tony
Mar 06 09:25:52 <Yuv422> that's no good
Mar 06 09:25:53 <tonymy01> trying to run smart tests on it, but it seems these can't run on drives in enclosures
Mar 06 09:26:09 <tonymy01> so trying to get it to run in my windows (this) box
Mar 06 09:26:35 <tonymy01> friggin no more stock in the place i bought it, so they want me to take it up as a warranty claim against WD!
Mar 06 09:26:40 <tonymy01> bloody hell
Mar 06 09:26:41 * Yuv422 is using his windows box to program a harmony
Mar 06 09:27:21 <tonymy01> i thought the Wiz didn't support it or something, as the wiz was hanging all the time and wouldn't shut down
Mar 06 09:27:51 <tonymy01> and decided the drive must be cactus (it sounded pretty rotten too, like a ticking time bomb... tick tick tick)
Mar 06 09:27:51 <Yuv422> have you checked that the case is ok?
Mar 06 09:27:58 <tonymy01> ?
Mar 06 09:28:00 <tonymy01> case?
Mar 06 09:28:12 <Yuv422> the enclosure
Mar 06 09:28:30 <tonymy01> i pulled apart the wiz to install in the wiz
Mar 06 09:28:42 <tonymy01> (and now have my pc in bits with it hanging out the side)
Mar 06 09:28:47 <Yuv422> ah
Mar 06 09:29:13 <tonymy01> it failed the smart "re-allocated sector count" test
Mar 06 09:29:36 <tonymy01> it would be nice if friggin windows read this stuff, all those tools out there to do the same are pretty dodgy
Mar 06 09:30:08 <tonymy01> i bought this on a whim, as someone on the wiz forum said it was running great in their wiz
Mar 06 09:30:24 <tonymy01> and i don't think 200G is anywhere near enough for HD
Mar 06 09:30:46 <Yuv422> yeah
Mar 06 09:31:20 <tonymy01> so anyway, i have to get this out my pc one more time, and will BRB
Mar 06 09:37:24 <Yuv422> bbl
Mar 06 10:24:25 <tonymy01> arg, ffs
Mar 06 10:24:36 <tonymy01> the RMA to Western Digital is Singapore
Mar 06 10:24:49 <tonymy01> and they want it to be packed inside a bloody big box
Mar 06 10:47:38 <tonymy01> hmm, it appears my pms aren't getting through i think
