Dinoex, the Software Developer of Iroffer, fixed the problem with my irc bots. Apparently there is a kernel bug that prevent sendfile from working with cifs. Dude stayed up till 6am coding a workaround for it and had it uploaded for use for me to try tonight. Worked like a charm. Head over to his site and check it out, and think about a donation. I mean really, if M$ had support like this, linux wouldn’t stand a chance. Thanks Dinoex, you’re the best 🙂 :^5: :^5: :^5:

-botname- ** Closing Connection: Unable to transfer data (Value too large for defined data type)
I am trying to run the dinoex version of iroffer. I recently upgraded from Debian Etch (where everything worked fine) to Lenny. I also installed the latest stable release of Dinoex. Now I get this error. I can find nothing on this error pertaining to irc. Not even Dinoex knows how to fix it, and I asked him about it in his channel. There were no errors during the ./config, and no errors during make. The drives that the bot hosts are on a Winblows machine and accessed via samba shares. This setup worked fine before all the upgrades. Anyone who has any ideas, please post a comment.
How a Pearl Feels
As I was walking outside to the inspection office at work, (we can’t take food, beverages, etc. through the plant), I looked up and noticed the cloud formations in the sky. It was overcast; a grey dismal kind of day that was seriously thinking about raining on me. (My favorite weather.) What struck me about the clouds was the convolutions. In stead of being parallel, they seemed to stretch and reach for some unknown point of convergence. To me, it resembled the underside of a scallop shell. With the grey mantle of the sky hanging so low, I felt enclosed and safe, protected. And very, very small.
Printed Pictures
I wish that I could draw.
But alas, all I have are words.
So I script a box-spring sky
and dust-bunny clouds
over a printed campfire
and letter marshmallows on skewers.
I scrawl out tiny monsters eating s’mores
and punctuate with chocolate dribbles.
I wish I could draw…
OMG Finally!
Well, after much frustration and agony, my server is finally back. I have found that:
So after much googling and brainstorming, I have my blog back, hopefully it loads a bit faster and is a bit cleaner. Now if my internet would just behave… :tap:
