02:32 <wpwrak> kristianpaul: if you find out about the devastating power of your local earthquakes only in IRC, they can't have been too bad ;-)

02:37 <wpwrak> viric: around here, the maps suggested the epicenter was fairly close to where kristianpaul lives. and generally, the reasonably optimistic reports shortly after the quake have a tendency to get much worse a few hours late. like from "no fatalities reported" to "10% of the population dead or swept into the sea. and we've lost communucations to about 80% of the area"

06:44 <afroguy> hi all

09:57 <lekernel> http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adapteva/parallella-a-supercomputer-for-everyone

10:01 <Fallenou> wow

10:02 <Fallenou> they seemed to have prototyped on zynq board

10:04 <lekernel> "The Parallella boards will cost more, however. Arduino boards or Raspberry Pi computers cost roughly $35 each as opposed to $99." thanks for the reminder, gigaom reportards. next time, maybe you should throw a $1.5 bag of carrots into the comparison.

10:04 <Fallenou> ahah

10:05 <Fallenou> and even comparying those, it's ridiculous

10:05 <Fallenou> $35 and $99 ... it's really close

10:05 <Fallenou> even if we accept to compare those projects which are totally different

10:05 <Fallenou> it's not like $35 and $500

11:17 <larsc> Fallenou: yea, that's the ZED board. Considering the original price tag of the ZED board 99$ seems quite ambitious

11:54 <wpwrak> grmbl. blackout again ...

13:54 <kristianpaul> wpwrak: as i said i was lucky in case it could had been worst i was out of the town

13:56 <kristianpaul> and i hope i'll sooner out for 2013 Q1, my current city have reports for 1700 of 9-12 earthquakes

13:58 <kristianpaul> well all the valley is full of micro faults..

14:06 <wpwrak> sounds like fun :)

18:10 <kyak> damn, i'm confused

18:10 <kyak> * * */7 * * something - runs it every minute instead of every 7 days

18:11 <kyak> it feels like the first wildcard (minutes) is more important

18:12 <kyak> maybe what i've written means "every minute AND every seven days"

18:13 <kyak> oh ok.. google says it's "every minute of every hour every seventh day"

18:14 <kyak> guest today is the seventh day, and i got like 960 backups :)

18:15 <kyak> should be 0 0 */7 * *.. now what happens if my laptop is off at the time? is the cron job queued?

18:15 <viric> :)

18:16 <viric> no, it's not queued.

18:16 <viric> (with that syntax)

18:16 <viric> even more, if you use vixie cron, it can't be queued.

18:16 <viric> fcron has more features.

18:16 <kyak> i'm suing cronie

18:16 <kyak> lol, using

18:16 <viric> I don't know cronie

18:17 <wpwrak> oh, lovely name choice

18:18 <kyak> hm, i thought it's very popular.. used in several distros by default

18:18 <kyak> ok.. need to figure out how to backup well then..

18:26 <kyak> this one looks good http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/cronwhip/
