Critical Mass - January '08

That would be happening tomorrow...

Oh bugger, I really fancy it but have spent all week convincing Tori that I need one night in this week to recover. GIven a choice between CM and the Saturday ride, I think I'm up for Saturday night.

Have fun y'all.

might do, depends if my server reboot goes ok or goes tits up like it did last week, meaning i have to spend the night rebuilding RAID 5 arrays again...rant rant rant..

yep, me and shinscar

me too. Except I was convincing someone not called Tori.

Clefty you're twisting my melon, what the hell is a RAID 5 array??

lots of hard disks init

MrSmith & Timfoolery too are in I think

It's a set of disks grouped together as one logical drive, in which the data is striped over the disks and a parity file representing the data is additionally stored on another drive. Were a drive to fail you could replace it with no data loss, and it's much faster to read and write to than a single drive.

uh huh... i learned how to make photos the right size in html yesterday.

For RAID enlightenment this is the best site:

And yes, this server also uses RAID 5.

And at home I have RAID 0 and RAID 1 in use. And a nice setup of almost 4TB worth of disk space.

Anyhow... Critical Mass.

fuck.. my brain just melted.

So what's the skinny on the Rollapalluza? Is nobody going? Or is it Critical Mass and then Rollapalluza? I'm feeling CM then John Snow myself..

God VB you've got more space at home than I have at work!

must..buy...NAS...

Not this month for CM - am away mountain biking in Wales. Will be there Feb though

I vaguely suggested to Moose that I might finally make this one.
But now I'm going to Ikea instead.
Quite similar when you think about it…

what time does it start? i've got to get to a gig @7:30ish.

6.30ish

ermmm. owell. cheers.

hmm i have a THESIS to hand in tomorrow.. A nice bit of chaotic road time might be the excellent way of relaxing... Provided Brixton cycles have those goldfingers i'm after............ Riding a single speed without brakes is a pleasure i'm yet to get used to...

lucky lots of hard disks init

MrSmith & Timfoolery too are in I think

ooo... the question is arrows or numbers?

@ jimlad, they got those levers in BLB if you want to come east. £15

they had black/black, black/gold and white/black today...

how gold is gold?

sort of a tacky, plastic, burnished fakengold (or goldenger?) kind.
But they've got 18ct one's on that Obey Fuji, I've heard…

this gold...

shameless plug:

there is a certain roller race happening after......

i NEED one of those for my build.
