Woo, just ordered four 2 foot flexible jacketed BNC-to-MMCX cables
<azonenberg_work>
It's RG174 cable so should be good up to at least 1 GHz, overkill for my 350 MHz scope
<azonenberg_work>
This will let me hook up four of my 20x transmission line probes to the scope at once :)
* azonenberg_work
wants to try probing both legs of an LVDS pair plus some other stuff and see how it looks
<cr1901_modern>
I managed to hose and un-hose a board in the past 2 hours while trying to update firmware... woot. Can't think of anything I'd rather do on a Friday night...
<azonenberg_work>
Lol
* azonenberg_work
is not looking forward to dealing with $WIFE's computer when he gets home
<azonenberg_work>
we've been having massive disk performance issues for ages
<azonenberg_work>
i think either the sata cable(s) are loose/failing/out of spec or the mobo sata controller is having issues
<azonenberg_work>
or possibly the controller on one of the drives
<azonenberg_work>
reads just hang, for extended periods of time, and smart shows nothing wrong
<whitequark>
dmesg?
<azonenberg_work>
Nothing shows up in either windows event logs or syslog
<azonenberg_work>
this is a virtualized windows system in vmware on linux
<cr1901_modern>
azonenberg_work: Is the disk almost full?
<azonenberg_work>
no, not even close
<azonenberg_work>
its a raid1 of two 1TB WD RE4 drives iirc
<azonenberg_work>
soft raid on debian host
<azonenberg_work>
and i've seen some general funniness that makes me think the host might be at fault
<azonenberg_work>
But not 100% certain

( Zorix : escaping as far north as possible during the night with less jammings on the highways is not an option ? )
<Zorix>
hey
<Zorix>
i dont know, i dont want to be stuck on the road
<azonenberg_work>
Zorix: trying to escape from where?
<Zorix>
i think that spilled out from the mame channel
<Zorix>
somehow
<Zorix>
im in irma's path
<azonenberg_work>
Are you near sea level or elevated a bit?
<Zorix>
i will get her big stinkin eye tomorrow
<Zorix>
im in a condo 3 floors up
<Zorix>
so i should be alright
<Zorix>
but they may force me to leave anyways
<azonenberg_work>
Flooding wouldnt be a big issue if you're that high up, i'd be more worried about the thing coming down on top of you :p
<Zorix>
building is rated to handle it
<Zorix>
well theres 1 floor above me
<azonenberg_work>
Or the windows blowing out and peppering you with delicious glass shrapnel
<Zorix>
so i should be protected
<Zorix>
hehe
<Zorix>
i have hurricane windows
<Zorix>
should take 140 mph repeated impacts
<azonenberg_work>
and how fast are the winds they expect? :p
<Zorix>
probably about 150 or so
<Zorix>
but my windows face north and south
<Zorix>
i think most of the winds will be east/west due to the eye coming over
<azonenberg_work>
Hope you're prepared to be stuck there with no utilities at all for a while
<Zorix>
well in a way i am.. i have been through a few hurricane impacts so i always keep supplies here
<Zorix>
but i wont have any a/c so its going to get deadly hot
<azonenberg_work>
good luck
* azonenberg_work
is flying home to his own apocalypse tomorrow (on site with a customer in the middle of nowhere tonight)
<Zorix>
thanks i appreciate it
<azonenberg_work>
but not quite as bad
<azonenberg_work>
Just raining ashes from a forest fire upwind
<Zorix>
ohh
<Zorix>
i know a guy out there that was telling me about that
<azonenberg_work>
It's also earthquake country... fingers crossed we don't get one for a while :p
<Zorix>

<Zorix>
ahh
<azonenberg_work>
last thing we need is one on top of all this
<Zorix>
i think mexico got one this week
<awygle>
Big one, 8.0+
<azonenberg_work>
Yeah i know
<balrog>

<balrog>

<cr1901_modern>
This is why I never use the /-commands except for "/me"
<azonenberg_work>
lol
* azonenberg_work
once knew a guy who would /me in meatspace conversatoins
<cr1901_modern>
b/c watch me accidentally reveal my password hunter2-style in a msg meant for NickSer v
<azonenberg_work>
Lol
<Zorix>

* awygle

screw removal protip, which worked for me once and therefore will work for all of you every time without fail: if you don't have thread cutting oil for your screw remover, use canola oil
