00:01.40cupisor the --import_root thingy
00:01.47ResuDeadok, gimp doesn't like doing it anyway

00:07.20ResuDeadhttp://stolen.servehttp.com/vb.png
00:09.25ResuDeaddon't ask me why I do the things I do, I often fail to see the point myself
00:10.17ResuDead(+ this machine is a lot more stable developing with sockets (even through wine) than any of the windows boxes I have to hand
00:14.03murblewhat is wrong with xwd?
00:20.24ResuDeadxwd?
00:40.20murbleyep

01:00.23ResuDeadmorning mazogs
01:07.25mazogshi ResuDead how are you?
01:09.05ResuDeadplaying with a p75, a p133 and a 486 trying to get at least one to work
01:11.06ResuDeadbrb, chaning monitors (involves chaning to console)
01:12.07*** join/#gllug ResuDaed (tom@pc-80-193-187-194-en.blueyonder.co.uk)
01:12.18ResuDaedthat's better (or worse)
01:12.21mazogsyou can make a mosix cluster with them....
01:12.25mazogsXD
01:12.29ResuDaednow viewing in monochrome
01:13.08ResuDaedsaving my decent monitor for building this system for now
01:13.23ResuDaed(the lights tell me more about what's going on)
01:13.29ResuDaedmosix?
01:13.51mazogsdon't you know mosix?
01:14.11ResuDaednot that I know of
01:14.22ResuDaedsimilar to plan9?
01:14.55ResuDaedproblem is only the 486 is starting at all
01:15.43mazogsit's used to make beowulf clusters, it's very mature and works ok
01:16.15ResuDaedI wasn't sure what exactly I am going to do with them
01:16.34mazogswww.mosix.org
01:16.38ResuDaedjust want to see them working (plus I have 2 apare sockets on my hub)
01:17.04ResuDaedI will remember, currently I am in console, and if I switch back to X, I think this monitor will physically blow up
01:17.43mazogssome people make mp3 modules with them
01:17.50mazogshave you tried knoppix?
01:18.02ResuDaedI have, and am impressed
01:18.43ResuDaedbut that is more hard drive space than any of these boxes have, and I have no spare cd-drives
01:18.53ResuDaed(I only have 1 spare floppy :-))
01:19.52mazogsyou just need one pc with cdrom, the others boot from the network i think
01:19.57mazogswith knoppix
01:20.11ResuDaedthat is if I get as far as giving this lot a network
01:20.46ResuDaedat the moment they are having trouble with hardware boots, let alone the network/software stage
01:20.46mazogssorry, i don't understand that sentence!
01:20.53mazogsoh ok
01:21.33ResuDaedthe network has a broadband internet connection, so once they are up and running, software installation won't be a problem
01:22.03mazogsdo you have problems with the hardware then?
01:22.21ResuDaedyes, they wont ititialise the onboard graphics
01:22.38ResuDaedinitialise
01:22.57mazogsis it X who doesn't start then?
01:23.04ResuDaedand I don't have the eqpt here for reading the bios posts electronically
01:23.25ResuDaedX is fine on the other boxes, it's the new ones that aren't booting
01:23.29mazogswhat is eqpt?
01:23.35ResuDaedequipment
01:23.41mazogsok
01:23.51ResuDaedsorry, I am lazy with typing
01:24.26ResuDaedI am currently working with the collection of old hardware I have, trying to get something up and running
01:24.42mazogsno matter, i've to get used with these abrv...
01:25.43ResuDaedwhere are you (what country/town)?
01:25.50mazogslondon
01:26.10ResuDaedok, I'm not use to people ircing this late
01:26.23murbleITYM early
01:26.29ResuDaedyou unemployed?
01:26.53ResuDaedmurble, what does ITYM mean?
01:26.59mazogsyes, but looking for job, i need one soon i'll have to come back to spain..
01:27.13mazogslet me think...
01:27.37murblewhat part of london are you in?
01:27.44ResuDaedmost people with jobs are in bed by now
01:27.45mazogsw2 2sx
01:27.50mazogsyes!
01:28.03mazogsmy room mate for example!
01:28.04murbleResuDaed: unless they have next week and the week after off work.
01:28.22ResuDaedok, those who don't have work in the morning
01:29.13ResuDaedmurble, they guy who was going to pick up the computers for me has buggered off to the US till Jan !! most helpful of him
01:29.15mazogsi don't know what ITYM can be...
01:29.15murbleI never work mornings anyway
01:29.36murbleI Think You Mean.
01:29.49mazogsok, i'm learning a lot here.... :-)
01:30.10ResuDaedah, I know only RTFM ... but will admit to only doing it after I break things
01:30.25mazogsi know this one too!
01:30.41murblemazogs: have you got any interviews lines up yet?
01:30.46mazogsthe most used in our world!
01:30.52murblexmas time isn't generally a good time to ebe out of work.
01:31.08ResuDaeddamn, still no gfx ...
01:31.10mazogsyes, they have told me that..
01:31.17ResuDaedmurble, don't I know it
01:31.26murblepeople tend to wait for the new year before doing anything, then they want to wait for april because new finacial year etc.
01:31.29mazogsno, i don't have any interview yet
01:31.39mazogsi'll wait then...
01:31.50murbleWhat have you applied for?
01:32.30mazogsi'm looking for sysadmin, or programmer
01:34.09ResuDaedof all the aforementioned machines, only the 486 boots
01:34.55mazogsany message from the other systems? they hang?
01:35.09ResuDaedthey don't even init the screen
01:35.32ResuDaedby botting, I mean the ability to receive bios posts to the screen
01:35.39ResuDaeds/botting/booting
01:35.52mazogsand the computer beeps?
01:36.09ResuDaedyes
01:36.18ResuDaedfrom that I can fix most major faults
01:36.40mazogsby the pattern of the beeps you may know what is happening i think
01:37.03ResuDaedyes, but the other 2 don't beep at all
01:37.18mazogsunplug all the harware and see
01:37.27ResuDaedso my cluster consists of a 486/DX2 with 20MB RAM
01:37.53ResuDaedthat is with all h/ware unplugged, and tried 2 different processors
01:38.28ResuDaedthe 486 has a dead battery, and the batter is not ... um ... anywhere to be found ??
01:38.33mazogsunplug the memory too
01:38.49ResuDaedtried it
01:39.11mazogsand the beeps are the same?
01:39.16ResuDaedno beeps
01:39.29ResuDaed*nothing ... no life*
01:40.01ResuDaedthe pwr light comes on, and the psu is running fine (even checked voltages)
01:40.16mazogshave you tried to unplug the battery for a few seconds to 'clean' cmos?
01:40.53ResuDaedno, I could try it ... see no logical way in which that prevents a physical boot from even starting
01:41.47mazogsyes i know, ...
01:41.52mazogsbut ...
01:42.42mazogsi can think another thing now
01:42.48mazogss/can/can't
01:43.29mazogsthe last time i got mad with a computer was when i tried to put debian in a power mac
01:43.37mazogs..and it won
01:43.49ResuDaedI just wouldn't play with a mac in the first place
01:44.36mazogsthat's the lesson i learnt! lol
01:44.42ResuDaed:-) don't personally like them much
01:45.35mazogsi thought that having debian in the mac was i way to 'free' it..
01:45.49ResuDaeda fellow debian user then?
01:46.12mazogsyes
01:46.22mazogsand you?
01:47.02ResuDaedyes (although only for about a month)
01:47.36ResuDaedpreviously deadRat, mandrake, caldera and suse (although not in that order)
01:48.16ResuDaedstill no life from either the 133 or the 75
01:49.10mazogshave you tried a defribilator?
01:49.13ResuDaedI might try the 75 with it's riser card
01:49.24ResuDaednever heard of :-)
01:49.27mazogsriser card?
01:50.16ResuDaedon much old desktop architecture, the PCI/ISA slots were not directly on the mother board
01:50.47mazogsoh i see, my computer uses that, only i didn't know it has a name
01:50.52ResuDaedthey used riser cards, I fail to see why one would be needed for a h/ware boot, but we'll see
01:52.21mazogsok
01:58.25mazogshave you tried kicking them? XD
01:58.54ResuDaedam actually using a hammer and screwdriver combo at moment :-)
01:59.22mazogsthey better work!
02:00.14ResuDaedmaybe I should get the 486 running before I try to play with the others
02:00.24ResuDaedthen I can feel I've made some progress
02:00.53mazogsmaybe is the better thing
02:01.04mazogshow far do you think you are of make the others work?
02:01.55ResuDaedwell, I have to find a working NIC, then I am ready for a network install
02:02.41mazogsi have a lot of unused nics...
02:03.17mazogs...in Spain! lol
02:03.27ResuDaedI really could do with some, I have 2 ISA 3COM cards spare, one of which I have a feeling doesn't work
02:03.35ResuDaed:(
02:03.51ResuDaed(my main box uses 2)
02:04.29mazogsis it not a hell to make an isa card to work?
02:05.03ResuDaedI *can* just about do it usually, problem is I need 2
02:05.11ResuDaed(gateway)
02:05.21mazogsi see
02:06.15mazogsi had a lot of old hardware but i never used it so it went to the litter
02:07.04ResuDaedthis 486 is doing pretty well, 400MB HDD, 20MB RAM
02:07.15ResuDaedand it still works after all these years
02:07.29ResuDaed(had windows 98, I took fdisk to it)
02:07.31mazogs486 what
02:07.35ResuDaeds98/95
02:07.39ResuDaedDX2
02:07.56ResuDaednope, not even that, DX/33
02:08.04ResuDaedbut it works
02:08.33mazogsbut are you going to do with it once is installed?
02:09.39ResuDaedbridge between the internet and LAN and run httpd and ftpd
02:09.53ResuDaed(just about capable :-))
02:10.41ResuDaedwill eventually have it running blind (ie no screen) in the corner of the room somewhere
02:10.54mazogsthere are live cd in the internet to that i think
02:11.27ResuDaedI want to set the whole thing up myself, no dedicated distro's or anything
02:11.39ResuDaed(pride & learning)
02:12.39mazogsyes!
02:12.59mazogsi thought you were looking for the functionality first
02:14.04ResuDaedfunctionality isn't really a problem as my main machine des all this already
02:14.19ResuDaed(hence why it has 2 NIC's)
02:14.30mazogsoh i see
02:14.30ResuDaedI am looking for a machine to take over
02:14.53mazogswhich machine is it?
02:15.24ResuDaedAMD K6-3 (400MHz) clocked at 650MHz
02:16.28ResuDaedbut I want that for personal use/experiment, so if my machine fails people don't start complaining about having no internet access
02:17.27ResuDaedso during development of this 'gateway' box, I will use mine to simulate ISP as much as possible ... aiming for a seamless changeover
02:17.38mazogsit will be great if you could have the p133 for that
02:17.53ResuDaedI know ...
02:18.26ResuDaedI will hopefully be getting a few old boxes from murble (p200s) that can take over, and the 486 can go back to experimentation
02:18.39mazogsyou'll have it running soon or later :-)
02:19.14ResuDaed(I plan on pushing the 486 a bit faster (around 200MHz from 33))
02:19.27ResuDaedI am looking at some extreme cooling systems
02:20.07mazogsare you saying that you are going to put the 486 to 200MHz!!!!
02:20.39ResuDaedthat is the plan, I am currently looking at a mother board that'll provide me with the clock/bus
02:20.46ResuDaedat=for
02:21.15mazogsi have to see this!
02:21.37mazogsdo you know if such board exists?
02:21.50ResuDaedno, in which case I'll have to make one
02:22.06ResuDaedI know that kinbd of cooling system isn't readilly available
02:22.35ResuDaed(I know a fair bit about the x86 rchitecture, I used t be a h/ware engineer)
02:22.38mazogshow are you going to make one?
02:23.53ResuDaedgreat difficulty, I have been working on the design for about 4 months now
02:24.52ResuDaedthe problem is that mother boards currently in existance with fast enough clocks cannot use a 486 chip
02:25.01mazogsvery difficult, you can say it....
02:25.08mazogswhy?
02:26.27ResuDaedthey are all built around 586 hardware, which interfaces differently with the processor
02:27.21ResuDaedthe impossibility of such a scenario inspires me further to do it :-)
02:27.23mazogsyou mean that are bigger problems than the socket, don't you?
02:28.06mazogsit will appear on /.!!!
02:28.07ResuDaedyes, they speak a different language
02:29.15ResuDaedI hope to get on to /., I also hope to get into the history books :-)
02:29.21ResuDaedfastest ever 16 bit processor
02:30.04ResuDaedactually, saying that, the 486 may be 32, I think it was only the OS's at the time that were 16 bit
02:30.27mazogsi once saw someone fitting a p3 on a portable c64, did you saw it?
02:30.48ResuDaedI've seen some wierd things along similar lines
02:32.24ResuDaedpeople will always try to do what others say is impossible

02:43.07ResuDeadhi
02:43.34ResuDeadI have decided to try and get FreeBSD on this box (486)
02:44.03ResuDeadthe extreme overclocking will not be until I have another gateway doing the same job
02:45.04mazogsi've never seen FreeBSD
02:45.23ResuDeadneither have I :-)
02:46.30mazogsoh XD
02:47.06mazogswhen you said me you were going to FreeBSD i thought that you both were old friends! lol
02:48.17ResuDead:-D not quite ... never met
02:49.10ResuDeadI now have the problem that FreeBSD will need my machine to be a complete gateway, not just a regular proxy
02:49.23ResuDeadmy machine as in the *current* internet connection
02:50.31ResuDeadI stand corrected, you can set it up using a regular proxy
02:50.42mazogswhy?
02:52.38mazogstime has come for a carrot...
02:53.40ResuDeada carrot?
02:54.01mazogsyes, i like carrots now
02:55.19ResuDeadfine, time for a vodka - I like vodka :-)
02:55.28mazogs(don't tell anyone)
02:56.40ResuDeadok, I won't :)
02:56.55mazogsvodka...... at 3:03 am....
02:57.28mazogsi'm beggining to understand hallucinations about 200Mhz 486s.... lol
02:57.32mazogsi was joking
02:57.52ResuDeadI am 'nocturnal', I sleep most of the day when I am not working, this allows me to study in the peace and quiet
02:58.23ResuDeadthe 486@200MHz is deadly serious though ... whether or not it'll ever work
02:58.36mazogssince i came here i don't have any fixed hour for anything
02:58.53ResuDeadI say peace and queit ... currently I have POD playing at full volume
02:59.02mazogsif you can think of it, you can do it
02:59.12mazogsi can't think of it, i can't do it
02:59.50ResuDeadlol, my philosophy has always been that what can be thought of can be done
03:00.11mazogsyes, and it is true
03:01.19ResuDeadI managed to get linux on a 386 laptop with 4MB RAM and a 40MB HDD
03:02.00ResuDeadand I am a Linux n00b compared to most of those in this LUG
03:02.38mazogsbut don't forget to look for some sun light from time to time...
03:02.55mazogsyou like challenges
03:03.37ResuDeadI like challenges, without them I don't learn anything
03:04.43mazogsi would like to be a debian developer one day
03:04.53ResuDeadhttp://stolen.servehttp.com/vb.png <- MS Visual Basic 3 working on Linux with a fully working TCP sockets library :-)
03:05.14mazogsbut i have a lot to learn before, and problems to resolve before
03:05.59ResuDeadI have a hell of a lot to learn about linux before I can do anything real career wise
03:06.13ResuDead(I have 'customised' skills)
03:06.45mazogsthe same as me i think :-)
03:06.57mazogsbut not in hardware
03:07.36mazogswe are in different galaxies when it comes to hardware, from what you say you are planning
03:07.53ResuDeadI can do the hardware, but unless you work in R&D (a very small sector) it is boring as hell
03:08.56ResuDeadI want a job in software somewhere ... pushing the boundries of something major
03:09.17mazogswhat's the story behind vb3 in linux?
03:10.04mazogsi'm looking for a linux related job, but i also have the language handicap
03:10.52ResuDeadI was writing some client http software for windows that used a slightly hacked sockets library, windows wasn't 'stable' enough to cope :-)
03:13.14ResuDeadI am looking for a linux related job, but have the qualifications/experience handicap
03:13.15mazogsi don't understand yet :-)
03:13.39mazogsdo you have any qualification?
03:14.24ResuDeadI have almost no qualifications, I messed up my gcse's at school (was lazy with coursework), never got to college properly
03:15.53ResuDeadI have hgad a few computer jobs, but nothing that really inspired me, so I quit them and did bar work for a while
03:16.08mazogsare there professional oriented qualifications here?
03:16.51mazogsyou will have no problems with this ones, but you'll have to spent almost 2 years with them
03:17.03ResuDeadmany, but they are not cheap ...
03:18.08ResuDeadmy computer : http://stolen.servehttp.com/i/comp.jpg
03:18.18mazogsi see, it's like a vicious circle isn it?
03:18.37ResuDeadyes, that's the problems I've been having for the past 2 years
03:19.16mazogstime has come to break that circle! :-)
03:19.39mazogsare these qualifications official?
03:21.03ResuDeadthey are mostly professionaly recognized
03:22.07mazogshow are they called? and how much they cost?
03:22.49ResuDeaddepends which one you are looking at, this topic appeared in the gllug mailing list a while back ... one sec, I'll look for a url
03:24.25mazogsok thx
03:28.48mazogsis this your machine now?

03:35.07ResuDeadthat was the first email about certification, to which there were many replies
03:35.09mazogsok
03:39.32mazogsi don't understand why companys don't take experience into account if it's from abroad
03:39.59ResuDeadthat was only the first email ... in actuall fact you find may people disagree
03:40.00mazogsis it the same with academic qualifications?
03:40.45ResuDeadI am not an expert, but if you continue to read though the replies to that email, should answer most of your questions
03:40.54mazogsok
03:41.29ResuDeadI am going to be hitting the job market big time come january
03:42.02mazogswhat are you looking for?
03:42.16ResuDeadanything really, just back in IT generally
03:42.26ResuDeadfrom there I can move on
03:44.08mazogsin Spain the chances are very few
03:44.28mazogsnot only in IT but in almost everything
03:44.46mazogsour dear Aznar is shitting it all... lol
03:44.47ResuDeadchances aren't that great over here at the moment
03:45.15mazogsat least i can learn a foreign language and make friends
03:45.25mazogsi was bored there
03:46.05ResuDeadgood enough reason
03:47.06mazogsyes, i had girlfriend and work until september, suddenly i had nothing to apart from waiting... i am bored of waiting for things to come
03:47.33mazogs... i had nothing to do apart...
03:49.13ResuDeadI had a girlfriend and a job (bar job) until July, since then things have gone nasty ... I am in some serious debt and have no money, I have had to move back in with my parents and cannot find any work anywhere ... even bar work
03:49.52ResuDeadsorry, I did the bar job from July, before then I was a h/ware engineer ...
03:50.09mazogswhat a change!
03:50.21ResuDeadI quit the bar job after about 6 weeks because I had to move  (couldn't afford where I was living)
03:50.37mazogsi also worked in a bar when in spain 2 years ago
03:50.52mazogshere everything is very expensive
03:50.53ResuDeadsince then have had *no* money to my name, and debts piling up
03:53.48mazogsfor the moment i have no debts, i have a bike in spain i'm still paying, but i think i'll not have problems for that, if so i'll sell it
03:54.09ResuDeadalright for some then :-)
03:56.56mazogsi don't know for how much time!  :-)
03:57.02ResuDeadI hate covering letters/emails
03:57.07mazogsi've spent all my savings coming here
03:57.20mazogsso do i
03:57.35mazogsbut they are absolutely neccesary
03:57.38ResuDeadthe cv is bad enough, but writing a letter to go with it is a nightmare
03:57.56ResuDeadI'm not quite sure how to write one to be honest :-S
04:00.07mazogsi've some documents about making a cv and a covering letter
04:00.24mazogsbut they are in paper, i'll have to photocopy them
04:07.51mazogsping ResuDead
04:12.55ResuDeadpong
04:13.01ResuDead(mental lag)
04:13.19mazogsestimated time: 4-5 hours... lol
04:13.38ResuDeadam just writing my cv
04:13.47ResuDeadZzZz ... boring a hell
04:13.51mazogsnow!?
04:13.55ResuDeadwhy not?
04:14.16mazogswell, you are nocturnal but....
04:14.31ResuDeadI want to have it mailed by the beginning of the next 'working' day
04:14.39mazogsare you following any direction to do it?
04:14.45ResuDeadmy only hope of it being seen before christmas
04:14.54ResuDeadbackwards?
04:15.32mazogswhen i went to the jobcenter, they told me to go to a place where they help me with those things
04:15.50mazogshave you been asked to go there?
04:17.47ResuDeadI have never ound anything useful at the job centre
04:17.56ResuDead^found
04:18.08ResuDeadsorry, that is my personal opinion
04:18.26mazogswell, ask them that you want to go to a place called 'pathway to employment'
04:19.00mazogsyou'll find very nice people there, wich will help you a lot on finding a work, trust me
04:19.23mazogsi'm very impressed with that, it's a thing that doesn't exists in Spain
04:19.25ResuDeadI may try it in the new year
04:19.59mazogsgo there with an open mind and get as much help as you can
04:20.32mazogsin fact there are only two compulsory classes each week, but i've assisted all modules
04:20.41ResuDeadlol, open mind, open source
04:20.59mazogsi've even assisted to the one of 'surfing the net'
04:21.15ResuDeadwith telnet or a browser :-)
04:21.25mazogsi did it because i have the english problem and i need to hear people speaking...
04:21.40mazogswith a cuasi-browser, IE :-)
04:22.00ResuDeadI'd be inclined to tech someone how to do it with telnet because when they then go to use a browser, they will have so much more respect for technology
04:22.10ResuDead:-)
04:22.13mazogsi can assure you that this people are going all at their hand to make you have a job
04:22.32mazogswith lynx?
04:23.08ResuDeadlynx could work, but telnet = more effective
04:23.12mazogsthey pay to you the travel expenses to the college if you have any
04:23.25ResuDeadthey pay for lunch?
04:23.30mazogslynx through telnet i think
04:23.44mazogsnot for lunch...sorry! :-)
04:23.59ResuDeadah well
04:24.04mazogswill you do it?
04:24.41ResuDeadI may do, I want to see how these do first (sending CV's to advertised positions)
04:25.04ResuDeadnearlly time for breakfast :-)
04:25.43mazogsthe problem with the CV is that it has a lot of science behind it.... they explain to you this facts, and the ones related with covering letters too
04:26.09mazogsinterviews and killer questions, etc.
04:26.17ResuDeadtrue, but I still wouldn't be able to go until the new year anyway, so I may as well see how these do first
04:26.28mazogssure
04:27.11mazogsit's closed now, i have to come back in january, i'm already doing it, i think it's the thing that has surprised me more since i'm here
04:29.55ResuDeadah well, I am applying for a job as an Asst. Web Developer, I am writing my CV in *perfect* HTML :-)
04:30.08ResuDeadhandcoded - of course!
04:30.22mazogs:-)
04:31.14mazogsi have to go to sleep soon my friend, my eyes are closing by seconds...
04:32.02ResuDeadlol, I will get breakfast, have a shower, then go out for a job hunting session, go to bed mid-afternoon, up for the evening
04:32.41ResuDeadthe afternoon seems to be the most logical time to sleep for me at the moment
04:33.28mazogsok, i'll make all the dreamforce of the world to make the whole universe conspire to make you have the job of your dreams VERY SOON
04:33.40ResuDeadok, thanks
04:33.52mazogsit never fails! :-)
04:34.00ResuDeadlol
04:34.38mazogsok, so time has come for me to stay more horizontally for a few hours....
04:34.45ResuDeadok, good night
04:35.15mazogsgood night you'll tell me tomorrow how the hunt has gone

20:06.01ResuDaedJenson: why twice?

20:08.50JensonDid you see it too ResuDaed
20:09.16ResuDaedI am not, but I don't have access to that box, if someone were to kick it for me, I'd be grateful
20:09.27ResuDaed(the nick, not the box)
20:09.32Jensonlol
20:09.50ResuDaedgot enough dents from me kicking it
20:10.42ResuDaedJenson I did see it, i end up seeing most of them at the moment ... my mum watches it, and I'm at home at the moment
20:12.07ResuDaedone sec, I could set to box to run level 6 ... one sec
20:12.36JensonWell done
20:13.09ResuDaedsorry 'bout that, last night I was using both, but I kind of left that box headless
20:13.44ResuDaedall is quiet
20:15.57ResuDaedI would do, but I'd probably get caught, apparantly they have ticket inspectors on your line
20:16.15JensonYeah they do.
20:16.47Jensonlol nice one
20:17.19ResuDaedthey wanted me to pay almost 40 a week, screw that, I tenner every other weeks seemed a much better deal
20:17.27ResuDaeds/I/A
20:18.16JensonYeah good idea
20:18.23JensonI told my mother....she wasn't impressed lol
20:18.30ResuDaedI think they are on to me, because I as warned that if the same guy caught me again, he'd take me to court
20:18.57ResuDaedmy mother wasn't imppressed either, she found the receipts
20:19.15Jensonoopsie lol
20:19.42ResuDaedif I could have afforded it, I would have paid for the ticket, but that mas almost a days wages a week on travel
20:19.52Jensonyeah
20:20.14ResuDaedknock another 2 days for rent, a day for food, that leaves me with 1 days wages a week

20:29.07JensonDo you mind telling me why he's on a pyschiatric ward?
20:29.17ResuDaedkind of has no short term memory, and being a former marine engineer, wahing was never high on the list of priorities

20:40.24JensonI was d/ling Knoppix at one point...then relaized I couldnt fit it on a disc and my CD software won't burn more than 650mb even on 700mb disks

20:40.50BorgBabyJenson: what software are you using to burn?
20:40.54Jenson3kbs of FreeBSD
20:41.00Jensons/of/on
20:41.26ResuDaedpeople say that broadband is 10x fast, by my reckoning, I am getting it 20x faster
20:41.32JensonAdaptec Easy CD Creator...either version 3 or 4......dioesnt even convert mp3s by itself
20:41.53JensonYou have broadband.....cool
20:41.53ResuDaedJenson: cdrecord
20:42.02ResuDaedJenson: do you not wonder why I am in here 24/7?
20:42.05BorgBabyyep - cdrecord & it's many sibling progs - no such limits...
20:42.32JensonResuDaed: I realized you were always here....just didn't know it was broadband
20:42.59BorgBabyNero on W***ows has a Wave editor for mp3s
20:43.18JensonI use MusicMatch jukebox to convery
20:43.31Jensonand winamp to play (not winamp 3 though, to graphical and gimmicky)
20:43.54BorgBabydunno - mp3burn works nicely for me, with xmms ;)
20:44.29ResuDaedJenson: you're on 56k aren't you?
20:44.44Jensonyeah
20:45.00Jensonwell 46K actually....I've never seen anything above 48k in this area
20:45.33ResuDaedthen you can abuse http://stolen.servehttp.com/mp3, I don't think I'd notice you on my upstream
20:46.58JensonAh, damn download is killing my bandwidth
20:48.00JensonI think your server is half dead again ResuDaed, or my browser is just deciding to time out on it
20:50.19ResuDaedactually, me server is currently updating the lists, give it a few mins
20:51.12JensonAh good, it's not my stupid net....and i won't have to resort to using moz or netscape (like i do when IE kills itself for a couple of weeks, then is fine again lol)
20:51.46ResuDaedthat link will probably need a trailing / on it anyway
20:52.03JensonI must sort my site out...it's still linking the graphic of my HD...and I don't want that
20:53.05Jenson*graphics off
20:56.25JensonOh for fuck sake, I have Frontpage Express when it doesn't work....I think I'll edit the HTML myself
20:56.31Jensons/have/hate

21:05.51BorgBabyI used to be a very big SoM fan, in my younger days...had the hair & the nail varnish as well...
21:05.58Jenson:)
21:07.22BorgBabythe trouble with Frontpage is that you end up having to edit it anyway as it inserts loads of meaningless crap into every page
21:07.54JensonYeah but I don't know any of my coulour codes so it's easy that way

21:18.29Jensonback
21:18.33ResuDaedwb
21:18.36JensonMy Mp3 collection is about 3GB
21:18.37Jensonty
21:18.52BorgBabywhat sort of link? serial/ide/ethernet?
21:19.05ResuDaedide

21:19.49BorgBabyeek!  I may need another vodka for that one...
21:20.05BorgBaby(only joking)
21:20.08ResuDaedmy old mp3 collection had it's own harddisk (there were about 20 divXs in there as well) 35GB
21:20.32Jenson35GB....freaking hell
21:20.43BorgBabyas long as it doesn't stall it should be ok
21:20.47ResuDaedI lost that harddisk, and have been working very hard to get as many back as I could ... but I'm down to a 15GB hard disk
21:21.28ResuDaed35GB on a 7200rpm 40GB hdd and it's own ide bus
21:21.28JensonI can see why you didn't back that lot up to CD...
21:21.53ResuDaedJenson: lol, I now back up over ethernet
21:22.10ResuDaedmy sister has no idea that here entire harddisk is a samba share
21:22.15ResuDaeds/here/her
21:23.04JensonResuDaed: Yeah but you are clever....the thought of anything that includes networking would confuse the hell outta me
21:23.35BorgBabyI've got to do a networking assignment for college that's boring the crap out of me
21:24.11JensonBorgBaby: I'm dreading uni......I can't be arsed to learn to network...although I'd quite like to know how too
21:24.22ResuDaedBorgBaby: I know the feeling, I've had a few like that ... as well as being tought redundant (IMHO) networking topologies
21:24.39BorgBabywell - networking can be fun - just not the way our tutor does it
21:24.48ResuDaedoh shit
21:25.03Jensonnetworks were created to play Doom and Quake as far as I see lol
21:25.25BorgBabyResuDaed: it's just so vague, it's pretty much make it up as you go along, just stick his notes in somewhere!
21:25.33ResuDaedcannot create directory, no space left on drive :-(
21:25.56ResuDaedwhere'd it all go

21:31.02ResuDaednot that I know of, most of that's in ~/mp3 and~/divx
21:31.43ResuDaedyes, but I've run it again, over writing it all
21:33.05ResuDaedtime to browse through home dir deleteing what I don't need
21:33.58BorgBabylooks like it...
21:34.39ResuDaedthere are only 5GB of mp3's at the moment, what's the disk hog then?
21:34.55BorgBabyhow full was it before you started?
21:35.27ResuDaedno idea, I didn't think to look, I was used to having GB's of free space
21:35.52BorgBabymaybe check for a core dump
21:36.07ResuDaedon /home ?

23:47.54dankolbibot adsl
23:47.56[adsl] (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) This is a new technology just starting to come out that is the phone company's answer to cable modems. It supports data speeds over 2 Mbps downstream (to the user) and slower speeds upstream (to the Internet). This technology should eventually supplant ISDN if it ever comes down to a reasonable price point.
23:48.39cupisibot demon is one of the oldest and wisest of all ISP's, and deserves respect. They also do a mean DSL service. :)
23:48.41okay, cupis
