Australia are destroying England here, why am I not surprised. We have about as much resilience as a wet paper bag #ashes
-
@dantheman Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! :P
-
@fabsh Gonna try running it today in basic VGA mode and see if that works. Then enable 3D drivers, if that breaks it, it must be the GPU
-
@dantheman Sounds like it... :(
-
@fabsh Symptoms like lines on the screen, flickering display and strange characters also point to a fried GPU. They'll have to replace it
-
@fabsh I just upgraded the Outlaws blog to WP 2.8.1, it all went smoothly :)
-
@dantheman did you change sth in BIOS? Bus speed, PCI settings? Try with default settings.
-
@dantheman to me it sounds like some overclocking result ;-)
-
@jwildeboer Nope, didn't change anything in the BIOS. It's on default settings. Some of these M1330 machines shipped with a faulty GPU
-
@dantheman ah ok. I see
-
@jwildeboer Dell have offered 1 year's warranty extension on the machines because of it. Thanks for the advice though, I appreciate it :)
-
@dantheman Yup. If they make trouble, tell me.
-
@dantheman Thanks, man! Also nice post, BTW. :)
-
Wordpress update also done. Thx @dantheman for reminding :-)
-
@jwildeboer No worries, I do like the one click upgrades in Wordpress. I use Drupal a lot and I wish it upgraded as easily (sigh)

@fabsh No worries :)

@dantheman I am thinking of starting a network of connected sites with elgg. I think it is the Next Big Thing. Sorta DIX Facebook.
-
@jwildeboer I noticed your site says something about elgg. I'll have to try it on a testing server. Is it similar to NoseRub?
-
@dantheman will check noserub. Is it GPL? Elgg is. I am testing it on livingopensource.com.
-
@jwildeboer Noserub is MIT licensed apparently, just checked. I thought it was GPL but it is open source at least
-
@dantheman do you do backups of your wordpress files and database before the one-click updates?
-
@scriptmunkee I do daily backups of all my servers anyway. I do download a tarball of some backups before upgrades yeah. Pays to be safe
-
@jwildeboer Elgg looks great and I prefer that it's GPL. Will have to try this, thanks for the tip :)
-
@dantheman cool thing with elgg is that you can mesh several instances using their open standard.
-
@dantheman noserub is MIT License.
-
@dantheman Check out the OSU implementation of Elgg + Trac: http://beaversource.oregonstate.edu ... pkging for Fedora underway
-
@jwildeboer Elgg is in package review in !Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502693 by #OSU (part of http://is.gd/1uWSX)
-
@quaid cool! Elgg in Fedora is definitely cool.
-
@quaid BTW sth wrong with fedorahosted? I get timeouts. Server probs?
-
@jwildeboer Asking on #fedora-admin, could be networking prob between hosting provider and the world.
-
@quaid Will take a look thanks, seems very interesting
-
@jwildeboer Just signed up for your Elgg site to check it out. Hope you don't mind. Wanted to see it in action :)
-
@dantheman it is an older version though.
-
@jwildeboer Oh right, not to worry. Hope I'm not invading. I just wanted to see what the controls and so on were like. What version is it?
