00:01.25JensonI was going to bed at 10:30
00:01.36dankolbYes. You were.
00:01.46dankolbAnd then spending lots of money on cone phalls
00:01.51JensonI don't need reminding
00:02.06dankolbLeeds: Change the topic to remind Jenson to go to bed ;-)
00:02.10Jensonphalls reads too much like phallus lol
00:02.17Leedsnot now...
00:02.17dankolbOnly if you have sex on your mind
00:02.20LeedsJenson: yes, I noticed that
00:02.24Leedsdankolb: :-P
00:02.29Jensonibot lart dankolb
00:02.37JensonSee Leeds noticed too.
00:02.48JensonChops what part of dankolb in half?
00:03.00Leedsdankolb: been dreaming of being on a train in a tunnel with your mum again?
00:03.24dankolbThat's Oedipus
00:03.37dankolbBut there's other people I could dream of being in a train tunnel...
00:04.02TarragonVirgin Trains?

00:04.19dankolb*sigh*
00:04.21JensonHey Tarragon

00:04.31TarragonHey

00:06.28dankolbYeh right.
00:06.31Jensonand no-one <looks around the room> is to distract me
00:06.36dankolbI'll believe it when I see it.
00:06.44dankolbAnd I probably won't see it tonight.
00:06.53JensonI'll believe when I see it.....
00:06.55dankolbibot insult getting less than 8 hours of sleep
00:07.00Jensonand are you thinking what I'm thinking?
00:07.13dankolbDepends what you're thinking
00:07.24JensonI don't think ibot wants to know....
00:07.42dankolbWell, it's after midnight, and I'll have to get up before 8
00:07.59dankolb:)
00:08.03JensonI have to get out of bed at 7:15
00:08.16dankolbUrgh. Early.
00:08.20JensonYeah
00:08.42LeedsI have to get out of bed before 7 :-(
00:09.01Jensonawwww Leeds......almost worth staying awake til then
00:09.03Leedsor rather... I have to leave the house before 8:30, and I'm used to taking my time in the morning...
00:09.44JensonOMG i'd get out of bed at 7:45 for that Leeds
00:09.51Leedswell, I have a 90-minute or so drive, and I have to be there for 10, because that's when the course starts...
00:10.06dankolbMeh. 8.15 would do if you hurry (and have someone else make breakfast)
00:10.44Jensondankolb: you're just a lazy fucker....lol
00:10.55dankolbAnd what would you know about that?
00:11.13JensonAbsoulutly nothing yet lol
00:11.20LeedsI need 20+ mins to shower and get dressed... 30 mins+ for breakfast, 15 mins+ for various sanitary stuff
00:11.21dankolbHeh
00:11.30LeedsJenson: are you lazy?
00:11.41JensonLeeds........overkill on wetlook gel or sometihng
00:11.50JensonYeah to lazy to get off my ass and go to bed lol
00:12.00Jensonlol dankolb, good good.
00:12.10Leedsso Jenson is lazy, and dankolb is a lazy fucker...
00:12.12dankolbYou brought us down to this level ;-)
00:12.20dankolbLeeds: Only when I'm tired.
00:12.28JensonFor once the disgusting conversation isn't my fault.
00:12.58dankolbYes it is.
00:12.58Leedsoh, it's often my fault
00:13.00TarragonDepends whether you have the bathroom to yourself or have to share with others. Otherwise 30mins up and out.
00:14.41Leedsthere's a lot of me to wash...
00:14.48JensonWell surely Tarragon you can find a tim,e to use the bathroom when others are asleep.
00:14.59Leedsspeaking of which, I just acted out part of an advert...
00:15.17dankolbYMCA?
00:15.26Leedsjeans ad...
00:15.28dankolbErk.
00:15.32TarragonFor me yes. My only problem is the noise of an electric shaver.
00:15.35Leedsyeah :-)
00:16.08Leedsdankolb: it's been done... in public... in front of hundreds of Israeli schoolkids... with even worse, made-up, lyrics
00:16.13JensonTarragon: Just as long as it isn't a vibrator....
00:16.24dankolbYou can't shave with a vibrator
00:16.28dankolbLeeds: :-)
00:16.35Jensonlol dankolb can't say I've tried
00:16.41Leedsdankolb: sure you can - that's what sandpaper is for...
00:16.47dankolbWell, it's quite obvious. There's no sharp blades
00:17.03dankolbLeeds: If you cover a vibrator with sandpaper, it'll most likely hurt
00:17.14dankolbEspecially if it's used for its intended purpose
00:17.30Leedsyou could shave with it though... if you don't value your facial skin
00:18.10dankolbIt'd probably be cheaper to buy an electric shaver, though
00:18.10Jensoneven though I think i started it
00:18.20Leedswhat, you don't fancy shaving with a sandpapered vibrator?
00:18.28dankolbNope :)
00:18.54TarragonOK it is just a basic Braun shaver. It has a beard trimmer and that is it.
00:19.31LeedsTarragon: you wouldn't want to use that as a vibrator...
00:19.43dankolbWhat? A beard trimmer?
00:20.19JensonWTF lol
00:20.31JensonGuys I think we're a little off-topic and ibot is logging.
00:20.34dankolbWould you use a beard-trimmer as a vibrator, Jenson?
00:20.48JensonNo dankolb can't say I would.
00:20.52dankolb:-)

10:50.07TarragonCoffee finished. Thank you. Off to the kitchen to get a Jolt. I just know it is going to be one of those days.
10:53.41TarragonAfter the conversation last night - About 2:30am I finally got Alison to shave me. First time I have been clean shaven for weeks. No she did not use the electric razor on me. It does feel fantastic having someone else shave you.
11:03.38SpudULikeHmm, yeah.
11:03.45Davilionmornign all
11:04.14SpudULikeBoy, have I got some explaining to do!
11:09.11dank_work:)
11:13.59dank_workHi Davilion
11:17.34Davilionhi dan
11:20.05TarragonYou have to explain to an eight year old? But what they learn in schools these days means you should be learning from her.
11:20.22dank_work:-)
11:21.23SpudULikeYeah, kinda - "daddy, daddy, what's sandpaper?".  It was different in my day, but then I'm so old I can remember Doris Day before she became a virgin.
11:21.34dank_workHeh.
11:22.00dank_workJenson seems to have a bad effect on us, reducing the level of the conversation :)

11:40.35murbgood morning
11:40.47SpudULikeEeeek.  Just opened the drive on the cd writer, not used it for a few weeks, full of dust.
11:41.18SpudULikeHi.
11:43.20TarragonHow did you get dust IN the drive. I have nice layers on the cases and inside where the fans blow but not in a CD-RW?
11:44.45SpudULikeThe writer is an external device and has its own PSU complete with fan.
11:45.29SpudULikeReal fear is that there will still be dust bunnies inside, which the laser will catch, and whoshhhhhhhh.

12:03.21SpudULikeBombs in Ikea, third one failed to go off  because widget 3a was missing, apparently.
12:31.53TarragonBit extreme to bomb Ikea. I know if a bit is missing from a flatpack furniture item you do get a bit upset but not normally to make three bombs. Where were they?
12:32.07dank_workFlat-pack bombs?
12:34.57Davilionaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh
12:35.29Basil_BrushBoom! Boom!
12:36.21SpudULikeWasn't Basil Brush supposed to be making a comeback?
12:39.45dank_workAs an Ikea flat-pack?
12:40.41Davilionanybody know where i can get 16 way power distribution units with 32a plugs on the end real-fast?
12:40.59dank_workMaplin?
12:41.18dank_workWhy do you need such a large one?
12:41.55TarragonHow fast? Today or first thing in the morning?
12:43.36dank_workRS is normally good, too
12:44.41Daviliondank_work: its for 128 machines.
12:44.54DavilionTarragon: i need them by 10am tommorow,
12:44.57SpudULikeCan't you splice 16 cables into the one plug?  Tip - don't bother trying to fit cable strain relief gizmo, it won't fit.
12:45.06Davilionbut i can drive anywhere to get them thats not an issue
12:45.26TarragonIf tomorrow you could try RS Components. http://www.rswww.com
12:45.31dank_workPhone up RS Components now, and pay extra for next-day delivery, pre-10am
12:46.04Davilionlooking at rs now.
12:46.04dank_workPresumably you've got some better power into your server room, than a 13A ringmain? ;-)
12:46.31SpudULikeOH, yeah, on that point, replace fuse with a nail.
12:47.02Daviliondank_work: yeah we only have 32a commando sockets
12:47.07Davilionbut i need 13a output
12:47.24dank_workRS sell everything. Probably even kitchen sinks
12:47.46TarragonRS are pricey but have everything. Worth getting their catalogue then buying from anyone else.
12:48.26Davilionyeah, im looking at rs, price isnt an issue really
12:48.43dank_workOtherwise, Maplin and Farnell can be cheaper. But RS has everything
12:48.47Davilionwell since we just need to get them running tommorow our normal suppliers keep messing us around
12:48.52dank_workRight. Hometime. I'll be back within an hour
12:49.47Davilionits to go onsite thats the main problem and they dont have any 13a sockets at all

13:20.41resudaeddavilion > can you not get the strips with the 13A plug and wire in a 32A?
13:21.16resudaedif need be, wire in a circuit breaker as well
13:22.57Davilionresudaed: the problem is that 13A strips come with 13A cablew and 13A bodies, and im going to be using the full32A
13:23.58resudaeddo the 13A's all need to be on the same strip?
13:24.15Davilionwell i have 88 machines to plug into 4 32amp sockets.
13:24.36Davilionim using iec splitter cables so i need 44 sockets.
13:25.37resudaedusing 2x8x13A strips wired into a single 32A plug would provide you with a theoretical 26A/16

13:31.00leeds <~richardc@vmlinuz.fsnet.co.uk> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 12h 51m 58s ago, saying: 'and yaws and rolls'.
13:31.02Davilionhttp://www.informatics.leeds.ac.uk/pages/05_facilities/06_grid.htm
13:31.06resudaedI used to work with a company that did a lot with customised temporary power distros
13:31.17formihi nguys
13:31.17resudaedthey might have something that'll do the job
13:31.19Davilionresudaed: yeah should be
13:31.33Davilioni might nip out for some food but no major plans
13:31.56resudaedgot nothing better to do right now, so I'll see what I can find for you
13:32.09Davilionresudaed: thanks.
13:32.33highburyis there such a thing as a Cordless DECT phone socket? I need to connect a fax machine to the phone line, but cant't run telephone cables to it
13:56.34dank_work'ello
14:11.25Tarragonhighbury: yes. The Airplug by Inventel is what you need.
14:38.11resudaeddavilion > you still there?
14:38.51Davilionresudaed: yeah
14:39.17resudaedlol
14:39.28resudaedthe best I can do is 2-3 days
14:39.59Davilionbugger. thanks for trying thouhg.
14:40.02resudaedmost of their stock is 63A +
14:40.19Davilionresudaed: whats the company? do they do this kinda stuff normally? we're looking to change to a more reliable supplier
14:41.50resudaedthe company is NSys, nowhere to be found on the web, and not listed by 192
14:42.37resudaedthe only way I have of contacting them is though 1 poor guys mobile, I will try to find proper contact details
14:43.08resudaedI am also trying to get a job there again, so I'll probably be buiilding for you :)
14:51.13dank_workSounds very trustworthy...
14:51.46resudaedthey basically have a decent customer base, and stick to their own industry in which they are very well known
14:53.14resudaedI worked for them for them (on site) for a year before I went to college full time
14:59.07Davilionresudaed: we order quite a lot of power strips, either 12-20way 23Amp strips, or smaller 13A strips, were looking to change, basically we dont need next day delivery, what we do need is when we ask when they will be delivered, to be told a realistic figure, and notified if theres a problem.
15:00.26resudaeddavilion, this may sound crazy, but if I can source the parts, I can build them for you.  I have built many units for similar purposes
15:01.27resudaedI can also get them approved by NECEIC qualified electricians if necessary
15:01.46Davilionyou need to be a company, as we need to be invoiced by you etc. Otoh, if you can source the parts, we might be able to employ you to do it or something.
15:02.19resudaedeither way, I am officially self employed
15:02.25Davilioncool.
15:02.31resudaedmy previous work has required me to invoice
15:02.37Davilionthats good enough for us, i'll speak to mike etc.
15:02.43Davilionlet me know what you can do and what you charge etc.
15:02.43resudaedemployment would be preferable though :)
15:02.56resudaedare you after rack or trailing?
15:03.32Davilionprobably both, we generally use trailing with a L bracket at each end which we bolt to the rack.
15:03.41Davilionbut sometimes we use horizontal rack mounted ones

17:54.45willI used to use mutt then went to mozilla mail

17:54.53willnow I am sort of using mutt again
17:55.04dank_workWhat's the problem with it?
17:55.12willbut I can't seem to view the spool
17:55.25dank_workPermission problem?
17:55.29willI have two folders, Inbox and sent
17:55.31skugghello will
17:55.47willand also the spool, /var/mail/will
17:56.02willI can view the spool when mutt first opens, it defaults to it
17:56.08dank_work!
17:56.13dank_workThat's the folder name for the spool
17:56.25dank_workSo c! will change to it
17:56.32willbut I don't seem to be able to get back to it

17:57.04dank_worknp
17:57.21skuggdank_work, uh, thanks. i consider myself quite knowledgable with mutt, but i didn't know that one
17:57.57skugg(a few synapses fired in the back of my brain, but didn't yield any result. they're re-trained now)
17:58.01dank_workI only learned it a couple of weeks ago
17:58.45dank_work:)
17:59.37willI 'learned' it once (copied someone elses config file) and used it for a few weeks
17:59.39skuggi think i know roughly what the problem is, but i'm not sure if i manage to solve it
18:00.02willisync will be good, can you let me (us) know if you fix the problem?
18:01.54skuggyeah, I will.
18:02.35skuggthis page describes what I think is the problem better than I can:
18:02.37skugghttp://www.angio.net/misc/mail.html
18:02.48willany good resources for configuring mutt?
18:03.07skuggsee the third paragraph under the header Mutt configuration: Spool machine for the explanation
18:03.08willit is still pretty new to me and I am probably mis-configuring it :-)
18:03.16skuggwill, mutt.org have some good examples
18:03.21willthanks
18:03.55skuggi have some examples too, with the benefit that you can ask me and i will maybe be capable of answering what the hell it's for :P

20:10.38Leedsdeaduser: not quite as effective...
20:10.53deaduser:) I know, but may still confuse someone
20:11.50EkilUDupsNoggarat has a real ring to it. :-)))
20:12.09deadusershame he can't be bothered
20:12.18sdeeLsounds nice and ancient :-)
20:12.29EkilUDupsSounds criminal!
20:12.40sdeeLoh no - it's spreading... someone on #handhelds.org has turned his around too
20:12.51EkilUDupsBit like Muffin the Mule, but tighter.
20:13.42EkilUDupsI'll bring diagrams on Saturday.
20:13.57sdeeLkiddie thing?
20:14.10deaduserwas thinking sounded more like an 'adult' thing
20:14.41sdeeLI think EkilUDups is more a kiddie person
20:14.58sdeeLif you catch my drift...
20:15.02deaduser:)
20:15.11EkilUDupsOi, that sorta talk could get someone arrested.
20:15.37deaduserit's alright, no-one knows who you are ... you have your name spelt backwards
20:16.04sdeeLnogarraT knows who he is...
20:16.42sdeeLI think EkilUDups is more likely to drop comments related to things kids might like than things adults might like
20:16.51sdeeLbetter?
20:17.06EkilUDupsTrue to say that I am a family man.
20:17.07deadusergreat, just no-one's joined yet
20:18.05EkilUDupsMight have to keep it up a while.  Nosnej is not due on until tomorrow I understand.
20:18.09NogarratOK deaduser - how will we recognise one another?
20:18.27EkilUDupsNone of us will have ties on.
20:20.00NogarratI think there are a couple of users who wear ties to the meeting.
20:20.43sdeeLyeah... dunno why...
20:21.04Deaduserthe only clean trousers I have are combats
20:21.09NogarratThey feel comfortable in them. Their choice.
20:21.38NogarratWell that will make you stand out from about 50% of group
20:22.05Deaduserwith the combined dark hair and goaty, make that 55% of the group
20:22.21NogarratNo still 50%
20:22.36EkilUDupsI have a 55% goaty.
20:23.12EkilUDupsNot sure if I should call it a 'goa' or a 'aty' or shave it off.
20:23.15NogarratEkilUDups is banned from bringing a goat
20:23.26Deaduser:)
20:23.31EkilUDupsOh, the mules ok then.
20:23.39sdeeLbut, but... I thought goats were welcome?
20:23.44NogarratWell....
20:24.39NogarratIs Yrakcaz back in time for the meeting?

20:33.36Deaduserdoes anyone have access enough to reverse ibot's nick?
20:34.02sdeeLnah... and remember that he's on a buch of channels...
20:34.38NogarratThough to be fair she has livened the group up a little. - Hmmm wonder if really she is a troll. Would be very funny if she was.
20:34.52sdeeLactually, I'm wrong...  he's only on #gllug and #handhelds.org now...

21:16.15dankolbc++ foo.cpp
21:16.22sdeeLg++ file.cpp -o binary
21:16.56Deaduseris there a difference between c++ & g++?
21:17.02dankolbNope
21:17.09dankolbApart from c++ will work on other Unix systems
21:17.25sdeeLg++ is the name of the gcc C++ front-end - c++ is an alias for it...
21:17.41Deaduserand it'll compile it to a file of the same name but without cpp on the end?
21:17.47Deaduser(by default)
21:17.52dankolbIt'll compile to a.out by default
21:18.15Deadusera.out being in the same dir?

21:18.57sdeeLskugg: go back to sleep - we were just talking about you
21:19.02skuggoh. is it 'nick-backwards' time/
21:19.03EkilUDupsTalking about you, not to you!
21:19.04skugg?
21:19.09skuggi see
21:19.10skugg:)
21:19.21skuggi was wondering who EkilUDups was, but I see it now :)
21:19.21sdeeLgguks: yes
21:19.40ggukswell, I can play that game too i guess :)
21:19.44EkilUDupsdan, you not joining in???

21:20.00Deaduserhah, sorry

21:20.50sdeeLwl?
21:21.03NogarratThat's rude!
21:21.20EkilUDupsYeah, but no reference to green jelly!
21:22.02EkilUDupsF = Full.
21:22.07gguksf = fine
21:22.10gguks:)
21:22.34gguksalso, according to V.E.R.A : F == Flaming
21:23.06sdeeLwhat?
21:26.46sdeeLI have a screenfull of gnu!  Life of Mammals on BBC :-)
21:27.04NogarratZebras
21:27.41sdeeLaka oViT :-)
21:28.29NogarratMust get a TiVo would be so useful. There again all the videotape I have and never watch.
21:28.35EkilUDupsWho would have guessed that there is over a gigs worth of Just a Minute shows on mp3.
21:28.55NogarratLong running series.
21:29.12EkilUDupsTV card might be better.
21:29.52sdeeLtiny antelope :-)
21:30.09NogarratBison in number
21:30.19EkilUDupsJaM started in 1968.
21:30.32sdeeLNogarrat: much walking beef :-)
21:30.52sdeeLjust as a bison post comes through on the list :-)
21:31.33Deaduserwhy?
21:31.35sdeeLwhoa - antelope standing up :-)
21:33.47Deadusergguks is a long time making this tea
21:34.20NogarratJapanese ceremony
21:35.53gguksDeaduser_away, heh.
21:36.04gguksi'm back, but I thought I'd get away with it :P
21:36.13sdeeLah, stripy horses
21:36.37bloknadLurkingis good
21:36.53NogarratYou can get arrested for that.
21:37.03dankolbFor lurking?
21:37.09dankolbThat's loitering
21:37.52NogarratWould be hard to prove what you are doing outside some ones house was only lurking.
21:37.59gguks"nogarrat" -- append a "h" and it sounds really goth-ish.
21:38.31gguksNogarrat, yes, but i think I should be safe lurking in front of my computer,don't you think?
21:40.04NogarratWell sort of depends where you are lurking. Here fine, Some binaries sites (EkilUDups!) possible, Other binaries sites No,
21:46.35gguksNogarrat, heh. yes, I can relate to that :)
21:46.53gguksat least in a work-environment I guess :)
21:51.42Nogarratgguks: what do you use to change your cartoons webpage each day?
21:51.52sdeeLwatching animals eating each other is making me hungry :-)
21:52.10gguksNogarrat, dailystrips
21:52.14dankolbsdeeL: So go eat an animal, then
21:52.28gguksNogarrat, it's apt-gettable in debian...
21:52.46gguksit's also available from sourceforge (I think it was)
21:52.50gguksit's really easy to use
21:52.55sdeeLI ate animal yesterday
21:52.59NogarratThanks.
21:53.02gguksNogarrat, np.
21:53.23gguksNogarrat, by the way... I'm open for suggestions if you want something added there :)
21:54.28gguksused to waste an hour a day browsing "my toons" before I found out about dailystrips
21:55.19dankolb:)
21:55.26dankolbNothing wrong with spending quality time reading cartoons
22:00.49NogarratI browse the usual six a day.
22:01.30dankolbWhich ones?
22:04.21gguksdankolb, nothing wrong spending time reading them, but spending time wating for the page to load was a pain...
22:04.44dankolbWell, yeah.
22:04.47gguksdankolb, now I get them all served on a single page for me, so they load while I read the first one.
22:04.53gguksdankolb, you seen it yet?
22:04.59NogarratUser Friendly, Dilbert, Joy of Tech, PC&Pixel, Bizarro and Pearls before Swine
22:05.04gguksprintf.net/~stig/toons
22:05.27gguksNogarrat, i have half of those on my list already...
22:05.36gguksbizarro is one of my favourites.
22:05.45gguksdilbert is often gold too.
22:06.08gguksi must admit i'm starting to loose interest in user friendly
22:06.26dankolbIt's been a bit crap this year
22:06.27ggukshave followed it for many years now
22:06.32gguksdankolb, yeah
22:06.45dankolbSid was really great, though :)
22:06.53gguksi didn't like him...
22:07.05ggukshe stepped on pitr, my fav character :P
22:07.19dankolbNah. Sid was an old timer
22:07.32dankolbWith a collection of punched cards he sent off to Florida
22:07.38gguksdankolb, yes, I know.
22:07.54dankolbThat's far more evil than writing vigo
22:07.56dankolb*vigor
22:08.19NogarratVigor actually works.
22:08.20gguksyou tried vigor?
22:08.29gguksi have it installed :P
22:09.34NogarratYes it is pevrse
22:12.53dankolbWe made it Jon Masters' default editor
22:14.52dankolbHe annoyed us
22:15.29NogarratI would love to say - "A name from the past" but unfortunately had to deal with him this week.
22:16.01dankolbOh? In what way?
22:16.03sdeeLyeah?
22:16.55NogarratAh well... You know how I sort of write a couple of different Linux mags... He wrote a letter.
22:17.16*** join/#gllug dankolb_ (~dankolb@host213-1-192-182.btinternet.com)
22:17.50dankolb_How fucking typical
22:17.52dankolb_Just as soon as I ask a question, I get disconnected
22:18.03NogarratAh well... You know how I sort of write a couple of different Linux mags... He wrote a letter.
22:18.27sdeeLa couple of mags?
22:18.43dankolb_Yeah....
22:18.47dankolb_Go on..
22:18.50NogarratErr yes!
22:19.40NogarratVery embarrassing but a rival magazine sort of needs an editor and no-one would do it so I sort of helped out.
22:19.49dankolb_Linux User?
22:19.58Nogarrat;-)
22:20.17NogarratThis hole before me. Deep is it?
22:20.30EkilUDupsA shovel is no use for this type of hole digging.
22:20.32dankolb_Only if as short as Yoda you are
22:21.05dankolb_What sort of letter did JCM write?
22:21.42NogarratWas telling everyone about his new project
22:21.50dankolb_Which is?
22:22.09NogarratGenesis.
22:22.23dankolb_....
22:23.09sdeeLin the beginning...
22:23.20Nogarrathttp://research.jonmasters.org/projects/genesis/
22:23.37sdeeLresearch :-)
22:23.41dankolb_So he wrote a letter to various editors of magazines about it?
22:24.09NogarratWell to me yes. I don't think he knows I go to GLLUG
22:24.27sdeeLah, he's going down the well-trod "well, Linus started an operating system from scratch, so why shouldn't I?" path
22:24.48ggukspicked a nice name for it too.
22:24.59dankolb_Ah right. So to you, in your capacity as editor of Linux Format^WMagazine? ;-)
22:25.29NogarratYes. I suppose it was a slow day and I needed a laugh.
22:25.42dankolb_:)
22:25.56dankolb_Why redesign a microkernel? Why not just use the Hurd?
22:26.29sdeeLgguks: that would be the god complex coming out
22:26.58dankolb_Anyway. I'm off to watch 2DTV. Back in 30 mins or so
22:27.00gguksgee.
22:27.07gguksnot much actual information there though.
22:27.27ggukscan't even begin to understand how he would publish something that unfinished.
22:27.43Nogarratego
22:27.52gguksi guess
22:28.22gguksbut, i have to log off now so I manage to finish off this coursework before it's due in!
22:28.25gguksbye for now...

22:53.41NogarratEvening
22:53.47NogarratWhy?
22:54.03dankolbRehi
22:55.16irvinedNogarrat: just been out in a racing car.
22:55.25irvinedwell it was on the road, but it was full race spec kit car,
22:55.28irvinedmuch funnness
22:55.42Nogarratcool! what type? where?
22:56.58irvinedwww.locost-racing.com
22:57.13irvinedcustom made, everythings made from bits of baked bean tins
22:57.13NogarratAh 250£ ones
22:57.13irvinedwith a ford kent engine in it.
22:57.31irvinedyeah
22:57.49irvinedi dont think the book has that as the title any more, its just how to make your on sports car
22:58.01irvinedit should be in brackets (and bankrupt yourself)
22:58.56NogarratIs there much help from others?
22:58.58irvinedi've been building mine for a few months, but its good motivation to be inside a real one
22:59.11irvinedyeah its got the whole open source linux type community
22:59.31irvinedbecause its based on a book, lots of mailing lists and i was at the equivilent of a LUG meet tonightt
23:00.47irvinedyou fancy making one?
23:01.12NogarratI occasionally hill race in a mini.
23:01.18irvinedoooooh cool
23:01.31irvinedits in a bit of a state at the moment though
23:01.39irvinedbut it used to be quite pokey.
23:01.52NogarratG reg Racing Green LE 26K on clock
23:02.12irvined'79 clubman, 1430 Turbo, two pot calipers, and a very big roll cage.
23:02.19irvinednice.
23:02.29sdeeLoh God - apparently it's the Java folks' fault that Java doesn't work on a gcc 3.x-compiled Mozilla... they've used a C++ symbol in the plugin :-(
23:02.40irvinedi quite fancy doing something with mine, its sitting looking sorry for itself the shell is covered in fractures from the engine
23:04.55dankolbsdeeL: Have words with them, then
23:08.19sdeeLdankolb: it's very possible I will :-)
23:08.36dankolbGood :)
23:09.22sdeeLI'm getting to really like Moz... it's pretty stable, pretty quick, pretty... pretty :-)
23:09.30sdeeLbut Java can be useful...
23:09.43dankolbIt's okay. With quite a few annoyances
23:10.27dankolbIt crashed a couple of times for me in the last couple of days for no apparent reason
23:10.41dankolbAlso, I tried removing some SSL certificates, and it didn't do it
23:10.52dankolbWent as far as the action of clicking 'delete', but that was it
23:11.16dankolbAnd on MacOS X, the version I've got has a memory leak, so if it's left running a few days it slows to a crawl
23:11.25sdeeLnever tried that...
23:12.02sdeeLbut it's very possible it leaks RAM
23:12.09dankolbThe version on FreeBSD doesn't seem to have that problem (although I'm not running the mail client with it)
23:12.34sdeeLnot really a problem at home, since I turn my machine off when I sleep or go out... but at work I leave it running
23:13.58dankolbI turn my work machine off at weekends (well, the workstation, anyway)
23:15.19Leedsmine's got over 200 days uptime :-)
23:16.07dankolbLucky you :)
23:16.47Leedsooh! they're taking applications for Big Brother 2003 :-)
23:17.02dankolbAre you going to apply?
23:17.14Leedsum, no
23:17.32dankolbUp 199 days, 8:53 (server.eco.li)
23:17.58dankolbHeh. A #gllug Big Brother :)
23:18.05Leedsmine is something like 219 days
23:19.47dankolbUptime wars are a bit silly, anyway
23:19.57dankolbWe know that non-Windows systems tend to just work
23:21.14Leedstrue
23:21.40dankolbAnd, actually, our Win2000 systems also just work
23:39.06dankolbHow much of an effort is it worth going to, to get a Sun Ultra-5, -10, or -20?
23:39.30dankolbThere's some that are going free in Oxford, but I won't be able to pick them up until next year
23:42.16Leedsit's worth it...
23:42.34*** join/#gllug CyrilB (~cyb@audali.net1.nerim.net)
23:42.38CyrilBhi
23:42.40Leeds10s and 20s are decent machines - if there are any spares, I'd go for one or two :-)
23:42.49dankolbWhat about SparcStations?
23:42.57Leedsdunno - they're older
23:43.17dankolbOh. Sparc10, Sparc20, and Sparc5s
23:43.31LeedsI don't really know Sun kit all that well, but we use Ultra 10s (and we're using Ultra 5s on this course)
23:43.42dankolbAh
23:43.51dankolbLet me know if Sun are getting rid of anything ;-)
23:45.02irvineddankolb: i can pick them up and deliver them for you if you want
23:45.07Leedsnot bloody likely
23:45.08irvinedim bound to be going south sometime this week or next
23:45.31dankolbirvined: Would you?
23:46.39dankolbI think they're at Comlab
23:49.19dankolbHm. Apparently it'll be best to wait with them, anyway. They weren't offered widely yet - only to Uni departments
23:49.25LeedsFrom mplayerhq.hu today: "Yes, now even MPlayer can play Windows Media Video 9 (WMV9) and WMA9 files. Get the CVS and fire it. I'm going to sleep."
23:49.34dankolb:)
23:50.19irvineddankolb: yeah
23:50.31irvineddankolb: i pass it quite often i dont mind as long as you make sure you know where im going heh
23:51.14irvineddankolb: any spare? hehe, i've got an ipc and would like newer ones
23:51.17dankolbAh right.
23:51.29irvinedoh and i can get about 10 or so 17" sun monitors if you need any
23:51.33irvinedgoing spare
23:52.07dankolbWhen they're offered to a wider audience, I'll let you know (if I know about them) - at the moment, it's apparently safest to not say anything, as they've only been offered to departments
23:52.21dankolbHm. I could do with a Sun monitor. I have a huge one that doesn't work
23:52.33irvinedahh ok, let me know if you want me to pick them up for you though, once i know a rough schedule its easy for me to drop them off.
23:52.53dankolbSure :)
23:52.53irvinedheh me too, i've got a massive one with a broken red colour gun thingy, its very green, but good for text
23:53.04irvinedbut its a desk crusher lol
23:53.07dankolbah. No. Mine doesn't even turn on
23:53.09irvinedmy desk sags in the middle.
23:53.19dankolbI haven't looked yet - it could just be a fuse
23:55.40LeedsI've got a top quality 21 inch Sun monitor :-)
23:55.51dankolbCan I have it?
23:56.02Leedsnope... I'm using it
23:56.06dankolbBugger.
23:56.13dankolbI'll swap it for 8 monitors
23:56.38Leedsnah... I like it... and it's not mine, anyway... it belongs to Sun :-)
23:57.08dankolbBreak it, get them to throw it away, take it home, fix it...
23:57.35Leedsum, no
23:58.11dankolb(like make some use out of it, rather than use it as a power-sucker)
23:59.05dankolbThat's doing more than mine i
