<0> lol
<1> Znuff: dude, i wanna say **** THANK YOU
<2> Tincan: i tried both 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.4 (ip of bind server)
<1> thats what ive been lookin for like 1 day; how to run a command each time a song change
<1> but with "alsactl restore" its so lag, my cpu reaches cut-off for like 8 secondes
<3> Where can i get TCL for Fc ?
<1> is theres a faster way to restore alsamixer?
<2> METALLICA: rpmfind.net, search tcl
<0> SSigSeg, does it servfail when you query any domain, or just one?
<2> just the ones on the local network
<0> interesting
<0> could be an acl issue?
<2> i could pastebin if you want? have one in mind?
<0> have you given an 'allow-query' clause in each entry in the named.conf ?
<0> yeah, pastebin... i think it's http://pastebin.linuxhelp.net
<0> or .com



<0> or .org
<0> or something
<0> i was off by heaps. http://paste.getlinuxhelp.org/
<0> i think bind ships with a config checker too ...
<4> Ok, so, I'm still looking for a project.
<0> danq, what do you mean? something to code?
<4> Yeah.
<4> INternet-based, whatever
<4> I want to tune my PHP and MySQL (lack of) skill.
<2> http://pastebin.com/572554
<0> mysql ****s, learn postgres
<4> Or not.
<0> danq, i can give you the specs of a commercial billing system i'm writing.
<4> Am I free to integrate them with mine?
<0> danq, yeah, do what you want :)
<4> That's a project I've been working on for about 6 mos now heh.
<0> SSigSeg, you're missing a $TTL line at the top of each zone
<2> are those required?
<0> SSigSeg, it's good practice to put them in
<4> I've worked for a few billers in the past
<0> SSigSeg, also, you might want to put an A record for mail.home.com.
<4> and I've learned what *not* to do.
<2> line 24 right?
<0> danq, scenario: resident property managers/body corporates of large residential apartment/commercial buildings buy electricity wholesale, and charge each tenant individually according to individual meters
<4> Sure.
<0> SSigSeg, you're also missing the close ) bracket after the SOA
<0> hmm. no you're not.
<2> line 8 & 22
<0> danq, the data comes in via CSV in the format: Unit XX,reading
<4> Sure.
<4> Does it - or is that what you are proposing?
<0> danq, the reading is in kilowatt hours according to the meter.
<0> danq, no, this is already in place
<4> ok,
<0> danq, the timestamp of the reading is in the filename.
<4> ok.
<4> timestamp, unit, reading - ok.
<0> danq, The task is to write a system that parses each file, extracts the readings, put's them in a database. Then write a front end to generate an invoice for a unit number, giving a start date, and an end date.
<0> SSigSeg, one sec :)
<4> pbtttht. cake, yes?
<4> What's stopping you from doing this, aside from existing systems which are already present?
<4> Better yet, what makes your system different?
<0> danq, i already have... there are no existing systems. utility companies write their own.
<4> Mine doesn't.
<4> In fact, the complex does the invoicing.
<0> they probably do it manually
<4> using the same methods, etc etc.
<4> I see.
<0> that is, read the start/end reading, do the math themselves, print out the invoice
<4> I see.
<4> Do you have any potential clients or management companies?
<0> SSigSeg, yeah, you're missing an allow-query statement inside each entry in the named.conf
<0> danq, when it's finished, yeah, tons of places would want it
<4> Well, let me know if you need help
<4> heh
<0> well, i'm australian, so roll one of your own creation and market it locally to you
<4> I don't know enough about that industry.
<4> I don't know how the meters work, how to interact with them, etc etc.
<0> i told you already
<0> the meters spit out a csv file



<0> you dont need to worry about that
<4> All of them do?
<0> :)
<0> ***ume for now, yes. Some dont, and the readings need to entered manually.
<4> By which medium do they report their status?
<4> Ethernet, RJ-11, etc etc?
<0> serial port interface to a windows box
<4> Wow.
<0> though the electricity company worries about all that, including making sure the software is installed on that windows box
<4> How is it exported?
<4> File copy or something?
<0> no, the software they use interfaces with a box that pulls the readings electronically. it then saves it as a CSV file. It will also usually print a timestamp at the top of the file
<4> ah
<4> Do you have a sample of this CSV?
<5> Im using tinydns. what is the entry to make an ip in charge of a specific subdomain?
<0> the format is irrelevant. write it in a module and replace it for each unique client
<4> I'm just wondering how it would get to your new system.
<4> See, I don't know enough about this, I don't think.
<0> danq, /(^,),(.*)/ --> $1 = unitno, $2 kwh reading
<0> you could write this in awk and latex :)
<4> sure.
<2> Tincan: docs say you can omit allow-query and it will allow queries from anywhere
<0> but yeah, approach your complex and interview them
<4> hmm
<4> I'd like to know more about the meter part.
<0> SSigSeg, fair enough. try putting it in anyway
<4> I mean I can graph any data and act accordingly, but I don't know how to *get* the data.
<0> danq, you'd have to see one in action :)
<4> I suppose so.
<2> what would I use to denote no limitation?
<0> danq, getting the data is done manually by the operator
<2> all; ?
<0> SSigSeg, 'any'
<4> That ****s.
<4> That's downright gay.
<0> danq, you'd need to get the API from the electricity company to be able to write a script that does it automatically
<4> That's what I'm thinking.
<0> danq, but each electricity company probably does it their own way
<4> So what's the purpose for doing this if the electric company does the billing, anyway
<2> same error... this is frusterating
<0> the electricity company bills for the total usage, and provides the tools so the body corporate can issue invoices to the tenants
<4> body corporate
<4> ?
<6> i think he does it for his home measuring and labels it as big job :)
<4> My elec bill comes straight from the power company, though.
<0> the point is to write an invoicing system that does it automatically, so they dont have to copy/paste readings from a csv file into an excel spreadsheet etc
<4> The water bill comes from the complex, though.
<0> danq, then write one for water usage :) it's the same thing, except instead of kwh, it's litres, or possibly megalitres
<4> yeah
<6> and its for sure the right work for a super network engineer who works for the biggest security company in the world :D
<6> thats good enough for a blog entry
<0> (danq, i have a fan *sigh*)
<4> which company do you work for
<6> internet users in australia are quite famous for having alcohol and drug problems. so maybe this was just a halicination earlier. and this way he qualifies to be an ex undernet oper :)
<6> hello kittenbot
<6> :)
<0> SSigSeg, any luck?
<2> Tincan: nope
<0> SSigSeg, why dont the NS entries point to the name server?
<0> also, home.com doesnt have a default A record... was that intended?
<7> is there a way to set pure-ftpd to allow only some extensions to be uploaded on the server ?
<4> Anyone know where I can get laws and regulations regarding the posting of personal information - name, phone, address, etc etc - online, in the US?
<2> Tincan: this is my first time setting up a dns server in about 5 years aside from a simple one to act as an internet nameserver
<0> SSigSeg, ok, i'll make the changes and give you a URL.
<2> I have IN NS home.com. isn't that good enough?
<2> line 23: home_com.db
<0> oh, and change " 0.1. IN PTR router.home.com." to " 0.1 IN PTR router.home.com."
<2> i can't find a decent howto on setting this up so trying to do it from docs and manpages and there's no examples, just vague descriptions and explanations..
<8> SSigSeg for setting bind zone files?
<0> remember, the full domain name for internet addresses is 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa
<0> http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch6/ <-- that's decent enough ...
