[12:34:03] * Bytram ponders feeding the birds to the cat, instead
[12:34:07] <Bytram> ;)

[12:34:55] * Bytram is in a busy stretch atm and cannot give as much time to the site as he'd wish
[12:35:12] * Bytram needs to get ready to go to work
[12:35:19] <fyngyrz> cheers
[12:35:37] <Bytram> how are YOU doing?
[12:35:55] * Bytram procrastinates and drinks some moah coffee
[12:36:20] <fyngyrz> okay. Chinese restaurant I wrote a POS for is having some problems, so I need to get down there today and see what's going on
[12:36:52] <Bytram> good luck!
[12:36:53] <fyngyrz> looked over all the stories, none of them needed me, so there's that
[12:37:04] <Bytram> hmmm, so tthe POS is acting like a POS?
[12:37:10] <Bytram> j/k
[12:37:11] <fyngyrz> indeed
[12:37:23] <fyngyrz> I think the computer might have gone nipples north
[12:37:28] <Bytram> is a bunch more to those kinds of things than first meets the eye
[12:37:46] <fyngyrz> the POS software's been in place for several years w/o problems, so probably not that. Probably.
[12:37:52] <Bytram> what dish would that be in?
[12:38:16] <fyngyrz> bu yao crash lo mein
[12:38:28] <Bytram> first guess is prolly a disk error... is it on a UPS?
[12:39:01] <fyngyrz> no, but it's a mac mini, generally pretty immune to that sort of thing. Journaled file system
[12:39:14] <Bytram> oh? that's good!
[12:39:22] <Bytram> backups++
[12:39:22] <Bender> karma - backups: 4
[12:39:28] <fyngyrz> and power here is very stable. We're 15 miles from the hydro plant that supplies us
[12:39:43] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:40:19] <Bytram> all it takes though, is one tree [branch] between the two
[12:40:26] <Bytram> :/
[12:40:32] <fyngyrz> in the summer, there are lightning tripped power outages, but right now, very rare for there to be problems, barring someone driving drunk into a light pole
[12:40:42] <fyngyrz> we don't have trees. Mostly.
[12:40:48] <Bytram> that helps
[12:40:52] <Bytram> hmm
[12:41:34] <Bytram> reminds me my UPSs are probably well beyond their rated life span... should prolly check 'em out and see about getting 'em replaced
[12:41:37] <fyngyrz> but the mini isn't exactly new, and they have kids, too, and it's always possible one of them has taken the cash register for a trip out on the wild, wooly, Intertubes
[12:41:49] <Bytram> ruh roh!
[12:42:38] <fyngyrz> If that's the case, I'll just reformat the thing and reinstall the sw from USB stick. And change the password, and lecture the parents. :)
[12:42:54] <Bytram> nice!!!!
[12:43:00] <fyngyrz> If the mini's really sick, I'll tell em they need a new one, then same.
[12:43:13] <Bytram> where's the data?
[12:43:27] <Bytram> external drive? Clooud?
[12:43:28] <fyngyrz> so it's a pushup. Dunno what kind yet, but still, nothing to freak out over.
[12:43:35] <fyngyrz> internal drive.
[12:43:44] <Bytram> fsck
[12:44:11] <fyngyrz> but they only run 24 hours worth of data. When the day is over, they reconcil the transactions, then blow it out.
[12:44:28] <Bytram> huh!
[12:44:55] * Bytram pondersw record keeping for IRS for month quarter year etc
[12:45:11] <Bytram> okay really gtging
[12:45:12] <fyngyrz> It's all printouts.
[12:45:15] <fyngyrz> later
[12:45:16] <Bytram> ahhhhh!
[12:45:22] <Bytram> ciao for now...
[12:45:28] <fyngyrz> k, cheers
[12:45:36] <Bytram> and, again, best of luck - hope there are no surprises!
[12:45:44] <fyngyrz> I'll bring a hammer
[12:45:55] * Bytram chuckles
