Did u find out the schedules? Dale: Sunday's I mean. Guy Foster: "strip down"? Guy B.: Could try it Neil, but if there are wired ports. I'll do just fine with them. Dr.D.: Premiered at ADAMcon 13 :-) Guy Foster: Who's stripping? :-D Dale: We have Erin and Pam both disassembling an adam completely. BobS in Detroit: strip down to the underwears guyFoster

Guy Foster: Hope it's not Elvis Gratton!!! Daniel: i didn't say you look like Elvis, I said that your look is more closer to Elvis than my look. Guy Foster: Daniel: Trying to understand the logic in the past few sentences. Hold on, let me get my disassembler! Dale: Guy should I be booking you for Sunday's events or are you taking a day off on Sunday? Guy Foster: Dale: Most likely will be taking a day off.

BobS left chat session Neil: Jill says the meeting room is right beside the front desk. Daniel: I'm tired too. and I'm a bit stressed... and I have not too much time to preprare the coleco stuff now. Guy B.: Ok, folks. I' Guy B.: I'll see you all tomorrow at the hotel. Got good driving directions. james: sounds like everyone is leaving james: you still here for a second, dale? Dale: I can stay. Guy B.: Poof
Guy B. left chat session Daniel: I will at least now taking all the messages I received to do a small document about the adamcon. james: ok, i know you're busy but i was wondering since you use linux too - did you set up dns yourself? Daniel: with all the addresses, the phone numbers, the schedule... arr i didn't have it. Dale: I did. Dale: Did you want me to provide you some secondary DNS? james: well i'm not sure how to get any of it going james: i've installed bind9 james: and added a colecoshop.com zone entry to /etc/named.conf james: so now i'm wondering what to do at my registrar's end (domain is parked) Dale: Ahh... james: and what to put in my colecoshop.com file Dale: Who is it with james: registeryour.ca Dale: I sent you some links to what should go in the colecoshop.com file. james: so i can configure it to unpark and select a name server Neil: Daniel, do you have everything you need to print out. james: but i have no idea what to put Dale: Yes. You need to make a "well known" dns server. james: ok, so it's not even possible in theory to host myself from scratch? Dale: Yes, you can do it. Dale: I have a well known dns server called ns1.adamcon.org james: ok, but let's say i wanted to have my own well-known dns server james: called ns1.colecoshop.com Dale: I set that up via my registar. It takes about 3 days to propigate, then it can be set as the primary DNS server. Daniel: to print out? james: ok.. just a little confused by all of this Neil: The "small document" you were talking about. Dale: So you register ns1.colecoshop.com with the domain name register, and set it as the primary name server. That is the machine that you run bind on. james: ok. when i tried to do that, it says it can't add it because it won't resolve Daniel: ho, it's a resume of the info for the adamcon you all sent me. with names and phone numbers, it's for me only. Dale: Then in the colecoshop.com file for bind will contain "A" lines for name to IP address mapping... james: ah.. ok.. Dale: and MX records for mail exchange servers. Dale: And NS records listing what your DNS servers are called. Neil: I just wondered if you were missing anything. james: can i send you my colecoshop.com file now? Daniel: well, i still don't have the final schedule james: what's your addy? Daniel: and I don't know what will be the breakfast and the dinner. Dale: Well the method is different for different registars, but it is a special option in the DNS registration to add a name server as an eligible value for the primary name server. james: ah.. and the missing piece falls into place Daniel: I suppose, it will be cereals breakfast at Dale's home james: can i send you what i've got so far? Dale: No, at 8am at the hotel there is a full breakfast. Neil: No, there was a message about breakfast. Dale: James, sure, send it to dalemwick@hotmail.com Neil: There is more than just cereal. james: thx. ftping the file over from my box now.. sec Daniel: I can read "Breakfast is provided by the hotel." but I'm not at staying at the hotel. james: sent james: now bear in mind, i just copied the file boilerplate style and haven't put much in it yet. it's not complete Neil: Jill says it will be part of the deal. james: sec, brb Dale: James, I'll bring up the file now. Dale: hotmail says that .com files are viruses. Please rename it as a .txt file and resend it. Sorry. Daniel: Well, i suppose you will all help me if I miss somthing. james: dumbass hotmail. ok. sec. Daniel: see you in a couple of hours Daniel: I'm sleepy. Good night! james: ok, resent

changed username to Pamela Daniel: Hello Pam! Pamela: hey there Pamela: sorry, I just got home james: hey pam, you missed everyone. we had quite a crowd here today Pamela: who did I miss? james: everyone Pamela: thanks : ) james: except ron. didn't see him on Pamela: no, he's in transit at the moment james: think he's flying in as we speak or something Daniel: I'm leaving for tonight. I will be at the Adamcon finally. and i will talk about two or three things for a couple of minutes. Pamela: he's taking a redeye Pamela: Daniel, you're definitely coming??? Neil: The server seems to crash with more than 16 people and that happened once (although I think Rich may have been 3 of them at that time) Pamela: it wouldn't suprise me, Neil : ) james: wow.. greedy guy eh Pamela: I didn't even see you there - how are you? james: didn't see whom? Pamela: Neil Pamela: Dale, good evening Neil: I'm fine. james: dale is helping me set up dns on my server Pamela: have you deposited my cheque yet? Dale: Hi Pam. Dale: Are you going to be coming tomorrow evening, or waiting for Friday? Pamela: Friday morning, bright and early Pamela: well, early anyway Dale: Pam, I think I have. I'm not sure. All of the other ones I know I've deposited, but I meant to double check that I didd yours. Pamela: if you haven't, don't bother - I'll give you the cash instead Pamela: if you let me know Friday, I can find a bank machine and pay you then Dale: Well the welcome is at 9am. Pamela: I'll probably head out early to avoid traffic, and I plan to come by 407 Pamela: just one question - does Brock Road run right through the center of town? Neil: Brock Road is in Pickering -- you don't want that. Brock St. (Highway 12) is a couple of km farther on, in Whitby and ... Neil: yes it does run through the middle of town. Neil: (But the hotel is right beside the 401) Pamela: you're not getting me on the 401 on a Friday morning, not for love or money Neil: Good move -- avoid at all costs. Pamela: no, I'll take the 407 to Brock St. and come down that way Neil: At the end of the 407 it turns into Highway 7. Hwy 7 joins Hwy 12 at Brooklin. You can turn right there ... james: pam, why don't you get your dad to give you directions? heh heh Neil: and follow Hwy 12 south. In Brooklin, Hwy 12 is called Baldwin St., but half-way to Whitby, it becomes Brock St. Pamela: very funny James - I want to get there james: lol Pamela: that sounds good, Neil Pamela: is the hotel east or west of Brock St.? james: you still with us dale? Neil: Dale is out of the room for a couple of minutes. Pamela: oh well, I'll find it Pamela: I always do Neil: It's east of Brock St. Pamela: 'kay Neil: I'm pretty sure there's a small sign on Brock pointing to the hotel. (There is if you're coming north) Pamela: I'm pretty good with written directions, and I'll have a Mapquest or Yahoo map as well. Shouldn't be a problem. I'm one of those people who can actually read a map. james: sounds like the con is going to be fun james: one of these years... Pamela: oh James, we're going to miss you Dale: I'm back. Pamela: so start saving your pennies - maybe for AC20 Pamela: Dale, did you get the bit about my cheque? Neil: I'm getting tired. I'll have to sign off now. Dale: It looks like I haven't deposited it. james: i mentioned that i hopt to be in ottawa in july of 2008 Dale: So cash is always welcome. Pamela: okay, hang on to it and I'll give you cash on Friday instead Pamela: g'nite Neil - I'll see you Friday (provided I can follow directions ) james: wouldn't ask people to plan a con around my schedule, but *if* it were to be held near ottawa that year (say toronto or montreal) i could probably go Neil: I'm sure you'll find it. (Just make sure you DON'T take Brock Rd.) Pamela: I won't, Neil, don't worry. Pamela: 2008 would be AC20 James Pamela: we'll have to make a big deal of it james: cool Neil: Okay, I'm signing off. Good night all. Pamela: g'nite james: is there anyone who's been to all of them? Dale: James, I finally have the file open.
Neil left chat session Dale: I've been to all of them. james: lol, thought you forgot about me there. james: wow.. that's cool Dale: I'm the only one who can boast that. james: ok, the file is a mess, as you can see Pamela: I think you're the only one, Dale james: i've got a putty window open to my box and the file open here too, so if you explain it to me, i can modify it Dale: Okay. Well where should I start? Pamela: anyway guys, I just dropped in to say hi and get any last minute info. I'm heading out and will leave you to your file mess Pamela: Dale, see you Friday morning. Dale: Is the ns your external IP address? james: wait a sec.. dale you're the same age as i am.. i think.. so you started going to these when you were 10 or so, right? Dale: See you then Pam. james: bye pam james: have a good evening! Pamela: James, see you on chat on Saturday? james: uhmm.. is this the adamcon chat? Dale: I was 17Thu Dec 09 08:33:54 EST 1999: Pamela : Pamela: yup james: you're 37? james: uhmm.. what time is it at, pam? Dale: Hmm...my math is off. Pamela: 8:00pm, I believe Dale: Maybe I was in grade 11? james: ok, so you're 36ish? james: ok.. 9 a.m. on sunday morning here.. lol i won't be at my best Dale: No I'm only 33. james: well if the cons have been annually for 20 years, wouldn't that mean you were 13? Pamela: grade 11 would have made you about 16 Dale Dale: Chat on Saturday is 89pm. Dale: 8pm Pamela: but this is only AC17, James james: *slaps forehead* Pamela: and on that note . . . Dale: AdamCon was on thanksgivving weeknd, right around my birthday. Pamela: I'm for bed. Good night, guys Dale: (us colombus day) james: i should be subtracing 17, not 20. got it :D Daniel: goodnight pam! Pamela: Daniel, see you Friday! Pamela: kerpoof!
Pamela left chat session james: ok, are you talking about the second line from the bottom? james: about the ns, that is Dale: 2005-16 Dale: =1989 Dale: The first AdamCon was in 1989. james: yeah, i would have been in gr. uhh.. 9 i think Dale: I was born in 1971. james: ok. so you're about 3 years older than me Dale: So I probably was 16 at AdamCon and turned 17 a week later. Daniel: you are 4 years older than me, dale Dale: I've given presentations at every AdamCon since 1. Daniel: I hope you don't feel too old knowing that now james: at least he doesn't deal with smart-arsed jhs kids telling him he's twice their age james: i actually had one girl who didn't understand that i wouldn'T always be twice their age james: she really thought that when she was 30 i'd be 60 james: aanyway, dale you were asking me if that's my external ip in the ns line, and yes, it is Dale: I've heard that teaching ESL ages you faster :-) Dale: You' james: lol. it can. the kids are good kids. 6 of them comign with me in march next year Dale: You'll want to add that address to the mail A line then. james: you mean instead of 192.168.0.15? Dale: And remove the mail2 MX record if you don't have a backup mail server. Dale: Correct James. james: i don't even have a primary server set up yet james: i can leave the localhost line in there, right? Dale: The localhost line I one I like to leave in. Dale: It is probably a good idea to add a www A 43.244.220.135 line to the end. james: ooohh yeah james: ok, now up above in the middle Dale: And an "@ A 43.244.220.135" line too. james: i have the MX set to 10 mail.colecoshop.com Daniel: you know, it's like chinese for me. Dale: So that http://colecoshop.com/ resolves to someplace. Dale: That's optional though james: @ A 43.244.220.135 <- does this go at the bottom? Dale: James that MX seems good. Dale: Hmmm... james: ok, now i don't know what to do for the NS line above that james: @dan, chinese is actually easier james: for me, anyway james: and i'm pretty sure the top of the file is a bit messed up Dale: Checking my DNS files, I find that I usually remove the "@" at the beginning of the line, just " A 43.244.220.135". Dale: It can be anywhere in the A records. I like to list it first. Dale: After the blank line with the ';' james: the order doesn't really matter, right? james: i can put it before localhose? james: *host james: anyway, that's what i've done. right below the ; Dale: Actually, double checking, it looks like you're supposed to have the MX line end with a '.': " MX 10 mail.colecoshop.com." Dale: The NS line is fine. Dale: But you have to register with the root DNS servers what the IP address of ns.colecoshop.com is. Dale: You do that via a special process with your name registar. james: oops forgot the trailing . Dale: It should be available hidden somewhere in their web interface for youdating your settings. Dale: updating james: ok, i'll see what they've got james: so your saying the line that reads: james: NS ns ;inet addy of nameserver(?) is fine? james: shouldn't that read ns1.colecoshop.com. ? Dale: If you make all of those changes then you can restart bind with /etc/init.d/bind reload Dale: And check what it thinks by doing a DNS lookup against your local DNS server. Dale: You could. The reason that you need the '.' at the end of a full domain name is that by default it appends colecoshop.com. from the second line of the file. Dale: unless there is a trailing dot. Dale: You can check what your local DNS server thinks by pointing /etc/resolve.conf at 127.0.0.1 james: ok, last quesion. the two lines under $TTL 86400, do those look ok? Dale: And using a command like ping ns.colecoshop.com Dale: Or I like nslookup Dale: You can also use the command host or dig (I don't like them much, but they work) james: yeah, i usually ping, played with dig and nslookup a bit Dale: They are close. Dale: Where is the '('? I don't see it. james: ok. i'm going to resave and resend this file to you. can you tell me what you think? james: maybe it got chopped off.. Dale: Resend it then. james: ok, i've sent you the updated file Dale: Why do you have two SOA lines? james: lol. was hoping you'd notice that Dale: It isn't like they are from different sources. james: think i edited something and forgot to erase it Dale: After folkwolf.net you need a '(' james: so which one do you think i shoudl keep? the one that starts with @ ? Dale: Well... Dale: Let me check something... Dale: I like the first one better. james: ok. james: and you're saying i need a left bracket after folkwolf? james: well if i take that line out, i guess i don't Dale: To match the ')' after minimum 1 day line. james: oh.. i see where i need it now though Dale: I take it back. james: and why.. man how did i miss it Dale: The second one is good. Dale: Both are correct, jsut not together. james: ok, but i should have a '(' now after root.colecoshop.com. right? Dale: Yes. james: could i also put it on the next line, left of 200506291? Dale: I never do. james: ok. so the form is to have it above.. i'll remember that james: so in theory, if my registrar makes ns1.colecoshop.com resolveable, it should work now, right? james: after restarting bind, that is Dale: That's the theory.
moved to room Meeting Place james: theories are nice things james: hey hey hey.. who's here..?
changed username to compyprog Dale: Now to test it, give the DNS server a kick, and check the log. Dale: You're on Debian right? compyprog: Hello Adam users james: yup, debian james: hello compyprog Dale: So that would mean the useful log entries are in /var/log/daemon.log james: but i need to do that stuff w/ my registrar first, right? compyprog: Linux server talk huh? Dale: Do a tail -f /var/log/daemon.log maybe Dale: To follow the log. james: dale is helping me with some dns settings since i'm still a n00b compyprog: I was talking to Daniel earlier about your organization Dale: I usually doing something like: killall -HUP named; tail -f /var/log/daemin.log compyprog: What can I do to join? james: but i'm always happy to talk coleco/adam james: you're in :D Dale: Hi james: you've joined. just show up and chat with us anytime. did he tell you about colecoshop? compyprog: sort of james: dale i just did a /etc/init.d/bind restart Dale: k Dale: Now check the logs for warnings. james: colecoshop is still in development, but if this dns stuff works, i might take it "live" soon james: using that tail -f /var/log/daemon.log you just told me about? Dale: I'm willing to do secondary DNS from ns1.adamcon.org if you' Dale: you're interested. james: i may very well be compyprog: I programmed a Coleco app that is a drum machine with Daniel's and Marcel's libs Dale: Yes. Dale: Cool james: wow. then you've done a lot more than i have :D Dale: \I'd definately like to do more music stuff with the Adam. Maybe this weekend. james: i don'T see any warnings compyprog: I am working on a synthesizer or tracker program now james: compyprog - you know what coleco developers could really use? compyprog: So is anyone welcome to the Adam con meetings in Canada? james: a windows proggy to compose music and output it for use in a rom Dale: Is 127.0.0.1 listed first in /etc/resolve.conf? james: uhmm let me check Dale: Anyone is welcome, but there are fees for attending. james: uhmm.. i can't find that file sec.. Dale: Without the 'e' compyprog: How much are the fees Dale: /etc/resolv.conf james: yeah, that's it james: it's currently pointing to 192.168.0.1 which is my hardware router james: should i point that to 127.0.0.1 ? compyprog: I can't speak for all Coleco developers but the more about the Coleco hardware the better..... james: yeah, i'd like to get some hardware stuff going compyprog: Also the more tools the save time the better james: @compyprog, do you have yahoo? Dale: The cost is $37.50CA for Friday including lunch, $56.25CA for Saturday including lunch and side trip to Cullen Gardens and $75CA for Sunday, including lunch and Banquet per person. compyprog: Yes I have Yahoo in fact I am chatting with Daniel on there now Dale: James, just for a test. Dale: I'll have the Coleco Adam schematics available to examine at the 'Con. james: what's your yahoo id? compyprog: compyprog :) james: i really want to get high capacity saveable carts going Dale: Where do you live compyprog? james: lol. i was gonna guess that. honest ;) compyprog: Erie PA USA james: ok, i'll edit resolv.conf james: sec james: dan and i both believe/hope that colecoshop, with some advertising, could get thte coleco community together and get us more mass Dale: Maybe a 6 hour drive away? Or is it further? compyprog: That would be nice. Will the URL be colecoshop.com? james: that's what i'm hoping :D compyprog: About 6 hours or 7 Dale: Not too bad, though really. james: ok i've edited resolv.conf should i restart bind again? Dale: Nope. compyprog: I like going to Canada, so any excuse to the better Dale: Just type ping www.colecoshop.com james: yeah, contrary to what's shown on fox news, canada is not a 3rd world communist shit hole james: ok Dale: Is all is good, it should ping you're external ip address. james: unknown host Dale: Hmmm... Dale: Try nslookup www.colecoshop.com compyprog: Yes it is quite the opposite. The USA is becoming a Republican Facist state unfortunately james: ok - i haven't done anything w/ my registra yet re ns1.colecoshop.com yet, but we're just testing locally anyway so shouldn't matter, right? james: ok i get: james: server: 127.0.0.1 james: address: 127.0.0.1#53 Dale: Just testing it locally first. james: ok, well that's what nslookup gives Dale: You're missing two lines. james: in colecoshop.com or in the output of nslookup? Dale: Like: Dale: Name: adamcon.org Dale: Address: 209.151.141.181 Dale: Are you sure that bind is running? You said you restarted it, but that doesn't seem like good output. james: ok.. let me check, maybe it isnt.. any quick way to tell? compyprog: It worked James Dale: Hey! When I do nslookup www.colecoshop.com it gives back "Address: 43.244.220.135" already. Dale: Isn't that correct? james: are you serious?! james: yes, that's right! Dale: Yes. james: that is freaking fast Dale: I though you wanted to do your own DNS because. Dale: But your ISP has set up reasonable defaults. Dale: Is that sufficient for you? james: hmm.. unless i turned on ip forwarding james: thought i hadn't though.. sec.. let me see what i've done at my registrar james: arg. dns forwarding is enabled apparently Dale: You only have to do your own DNS if you really want to. I do it for other people all the time, so I thought that that was your motivation. james: i want to as there are other domains i want to host on this box james: and for the learning experience Dale: k james: i should disable it, right? Dale: You can put web content on your server now if you like. james: well i've had web content up on my server for awhile james: apache and everything else is running Dale: I researched your domain name, and it is compatible with the registrar service that I run. james: and i can access stuff from outside using the ip no problem Dale: That means you can update it on my URL, and I can walk you through it. compyprog: Thanks guys for the info. Peace Dale: If you have any juicy Coleco questions come back and join us again. Dale: There is a chat scheduled for Saturday night at 8pm. Dale: We are just rambling about DNS because we haven't thought of more interresting things to talk about. james: ok, well at my registrar config page i've got dns forwarding enabled right now compyprog: I will thanks and I will chat again soon thanks again
