00:01.40 | cupis | or the --import_root thingy |
00:01.47 | ResuDead | ok, gimp doesn't like doing it anyway |
00:04.13 | cupis | ResuDead: import -window root filename.jpg |
00:07.20 | ResuDead | http://stolen.servehttp.com/vb.png |
00:09.25 | ResuDead | don't ask me why I do the things I do, I often fail to see the point myself |
00:10.17 | ResuDead | (+ this machine is a lot more stable developing with sockets (even through wine) than any of the windows boxes I have to hand |
00:14.03 | murble | what is wrong with xwd? |
00:20.24 | ResuDead | xwd? |
00:40.20 | murble | yep |
00:40.31 | murble | man xwd |

01:00.23 | ResuDead | morning mazogs |
01:07.25 | mazogs | hi ResuDead how are you? |
01:09.05 | ResuDead | playing with a p75, a p133 and a 486 trying to get at least one to work |
01:11.06 | ResuDead | brb, chaning monitors (involves chaning to console) |
01:12.07 | *** join/#gllug ResuDaed (tom@pc-80-193-187-194-en.blueyonder.co.uk) |
01:12.18 | ResuDaed | that's better (or worse) |
01:12.21 | mazogs | you can make a mosix cluster with them.... |
01:12.25 | mazogs | XD |
01:12.29 | ResuDaed | now viewing in monochrome |
01:13.08 | ResuDaed | saving my decent monitor for building this system for now |
01:13.23 | ResuDaed | (the lights tell me more about what's going on) |
01:13.29 | ResuDaed | mosix? |
01:13.51 | mazogs | don't you know mosix? |
01:14.11 | ResuDaed | not that I know of |
01:14.22 | ResuDaed | similar to plan9? |
01:14.55 | ResuDaed | problem is only the 486 is starting at all |
01:15.43 | mazogs | it's used to make beowulf clusters, it's very mature and works ok |
01:16.15 | ResuDaed | I wasn't sure what exactly I am going to do with them |
01:16.34 | mazogs | www.mosix.org |
01:16.38 | ResuDaed | just want to see them working (plus I have 2 apare sockets on my hub) |
01:17.04 | ResuDaed | I will remember, currently I am in console, and if I switch back to X, I think this monitor will physically blow up |
01:17.43 | mazogs | some people make mp3 modules with them |
01:17.50 | mazogs | have you tried knoppix? |
01:18.02 | ResuDaed | I have, and am impressed |
01:18.43 | ResuDaed | but that is more hard drive space than any of these boxes have, and I have no spare cd-drives |
01:18.53 | ResuDaed | (I only have 1 spare floppy :-)) |
01:19.52 | mazogs | you just need one pc with cdrom, the others boot from the network i think |
01:19.57 | mazogs | with knoppix |
01:20.11 | ResuDaed | that is if I get as far as giving this lot a network |
01:20.46 | ResuDaed | at the moment they are having trouble with hardware boots, let alone the network/software stage |
01:20.46 | mazogs | sorry, i don't understand that sentence! |
01:20.53 | mazogs | oh ok |
01:21.33 | ResuDaed | the network has a broadband internet connection, so once they are up and running, software installation won't be a problem |
01:22.03 | mazogs | do you have problems with the hardware then? |
01:22.21 | ResuDaed | yes, they wont ititialise the onboard graphics |
01:22.38 | ResuDaed | initialise |
01:22.57 | mazogs | is it X who doesn't start then? |
01:23.04 | ResuDaed | and I don't have the eqpt here for reading the bios posts electronically |
01:23.25 | ResuDaed | X is fine on the other boxes, it's the new ones that aren't booting |
01:23.29 | mazogs | what is eqpt? |
01:23.35 | ResuDaed | equipment |
01:23.41 | mazogs | ok |
01:23.51 | ResuDaed | sorry, I am lazy with typing |
01:24.26 | ResuDaed | I am currently working with the collection of old hardware I have, trying to get something up and running |
01:24.42 | mazogs | no matter, i've to get used with these abrv... |
01:25.43 | ResuDaed | where are you (what country/town)? |
01:25.50 | mazogs | london |
01:26.10 | ResuDaed | ok, I'm not use to people ircing this late |
01:26.23 | murble | ITYM early |
01:26.29 | ResuDaed | you unemployed? |
01:26.53 | ResuDaed | murble, what does ITYM mean? |
01:26.59 | mazogs | yes, but looking for job, i need one soon i'll have to come back to spain.. |
01:27.13 | mazogs | let me think... |
01:27.37 | murble | what part of london are you in? |
01:27.44 | ResuDaed | most people with jobs are in bed by now |
01:27.45 | mazogs | w2 2sx |
01:27.50 | mazogs | yes! |
01:28.03 | mazogs | my room mate for example! |
01:28.04 | murble | ResuDaed: unless they have next week and the week after off work. |
01:28.22 | ResuDaed | ok, those who don't have work in the morning |
01:29.13 | ResuDaed | murble, they guy who was going to pick up the computers for me has buggered off to the US till Jan !! most helpful of him |
01:29.15 | mazogs | i don't know what ITYM can be... |
01:29.15 | murble | I never work mornings anyway |
01:29.36 | murble | I Think You Mean. |
01:29.49 | mazogs | ok, i'm learning a lot here.... :-) |
01:30.10 | ResuDaed | ah, I know only RTFM ... but will admit to only doing it after I break things |
01:30.25 | mazogs | i know this one too! |
01:30.41 | murble | mazogs: have you got any interviews lines up yet? |
01:30.46 | mazogs | the most used in our world! |
01:30.52 | murble | xmas time isn't generally a good time to ebe out of work. |
01:31.08 | ResuDaed | damn, still no gfx ... |
01:31.10 | mazogs | yes, they have told me that.. |
01:31.17 | ResuDaed | murble, don't I know it |
01:31.26 | murble | people tend to wait for the new year before doing anything, then they want to wait for april because new finacial year etc. |
01:31.29 | mazogs | no, i don't have any interview yet |
01:31.39 | mazogs | i'll wait then... |
01:31.50 | murble | What have you applied for? |
01:32.30 | mazogs | i'm looking for sysadmin, or programmer |
01:34.09 | ResuDaed | of all the aforementioned machines, only the 486 boots |
01:34.55 | mazogs | any message from the other systems? they hang? |
01:35.09 | ResuDaed | they don't even init the screen |
01:35.32 | ResuDaed | by botting, I mean the ability to receive bios posts to the screen |
01:35.39 | ResuDaed | s/botting/booting |
01:35.52 | mazogs | and the computer beeps? |
01:36.09 | ResuDaed | yes |
01:36.18 | ResuDaed | from that I can fix most major faults |
01:36.40 | mazogs | by the pattern of the beeps you may know what is happening i think |
01:37.03 | ResuDaed | yes, but the other 2 don't beep at all |
01:37.18 | mazogs | unplug all the harware and see |
01:37.27 | ResuDaed | so my cluster consists of a 486/DX2 with 20MB RAM |
01:37.53 | ResuDaed | that is with all h/ware unplugged, and tried 2 different processors |
01:38.28 | ResuDaed | the 486 has a dead battery, and the batter is not ... um ... anywhere to be found ?? |
01:38.33 | mazogs | unplug the memory too |
01:38.49 | ResuDaed | tried it |
01:39.11 | mazogs | and the beeps are the same? |
01:39.16 | ResuDaed | no beeps |
01:39.29 | ResuDaed | *nothing ... no life* |
01:40.01 | ResuDaed | the pwr light comes on, and the psu is running fine (even checked voltages) |
01:40.16 | mazogs | have you tried to unplug the battery for a few seconds to 'clean' cmos? |
01:40.53 | ResuDaed | no, I could try it ... see no logical way in which that prevents a physical boot from even starting |
01:41.47 | mazogs | yes i know, ... |
01:41.52 | mazogs | but ... |
01:42.42 | mazogs | i can think another thing now |
01:42.48 | mazogs | s/can/can't |
01:43.29 | mazogs | the last time i got mad with a computer was when i tried to put debian in a power mac |
01:43.37 | mazogs | ..and it won |
01:43.49 | ResuDaed | I just wouldn't play with a mac in the first place |
01:44.36 | mazogs | that's the lesson i learnt! lol |
01:44.42 | ResuDaed | :-) don't personally like them much |
01:45.35 | mazogs | i thought that having debian in the mac was i way to 'free' it.. |
01:45.49 | ResuDaed | a fellow debian user then? |
01:46.12 | mazogs | yes |
01:46.22 | mazogs | and you? |
01:47.02 | ResuDaed | yes (although only for about a month) |
01:47.36 | ResuDaed | previously deadRat, mandrake, caldera and suse (although not in that order) |
01:48.16 | ResuDaed | still no life from either the 133 or the 75 |
01:49.10 | mazogs | have you tried a defribilator? |
01:49.13 | ResuDaed | I might try the 75 with it's riser card |
01:49.24 | ResuDaed | never heard of :-) |
01:49.27 | mazogs | riser card? |
01:50.16 | ResuDaed | on much old desktop architecture, the PCI/ISA slots were not directly on the mother board |
01:50.47 | mazogs | oh i see, my computer uses that, only i didn't know it has a name |
01:50.52 | ResuDaed | they used riser cards, I fail to see why one would be needed for a h/ware boot, but we'll see |
01:52.21 | mazogs | ok |
01:58.25 | mazogs | have you tried kicking them? XD |
01:58.54 | ResuDaed | am actually using a hammer and screwdriver combo at moment :-) |
01:59.22 | mazogs | they better work! |
02:00.14 | ResuDaed | maybe I should get the 486 running before I try to play with the others |
02:00.24 | ResuDaed | then I can feel I've made some progress |
02:00.53 | mazogs | maybe is the better thing |
02:01.04 | mazogs | how far do you think you are of make the others work? |
02:01.55 | ResuDaed | well, I have to find a working NIC, then I am ready for a network install |
02:02.41 | mazogs | i have a lot of unused nics... |
02:03.17 | mazogs | ...in Spain! lol |
02:03.27 | ResuDaed | I really could do with some, I have 2 ISA 3COM cards spare, one of which I have a feeling doesn't work |
02:03.35 | ResuDaed | :( |
02:03.51 | ResuDaed | (my main box uses 2) |
02:04.29 | mazogs | is it not a hell to make an isa card to work? |
02:05.03 | ResuDaed | I *can* just about do it usually, problem is I need 2 |
02:05.11 | ResuDaed | (gateway) |
02:05.21 | mazogs | i see |
02:06.15 | mazogs | i had a lot of old hardware but i never used it so it went to the litter |
02:07.04 | ResuDaed | this 486 is doing pretty well, 400MB HDD, 20MB RAM |
02:07.15 | ResuDaed | and it still works after all these years |
02:07.29 | ResuDaed | (had windows 98, I took fdisk to it) |
02:07.31 | mazogs | 486 what |
02:07.35 | ResuDaed | s98/95 |
02:07.39 | ResuDaed | DX2 |
02:07.56 | ResuDaed | nope, not even that, DX/33 |
02:08.04 | ResuDaed | but it works |
02:08.33 | mazogs | but are you going to do with it once is installed? |
02:09.39 | ResuDaed | bridge between the internet and LAN and run httpd and ftpd |
02:09.53 | ResuDaed | (just about capable :-)) |
02:10.41 | ResuDaed | will eventually have it running blind (ie no screen) in the corner of the room somewhere |
02:10.54 | mazogs | there are live cd in the internet to that i think |
02:11.27 | ResuDaed | I want to set the whole thing up myself, no dedicated distro's or anything |
02:11.39 | ResuDaed | (pride & learning) |
02:12.39 | mazogs | yes! |
02:12.59 | mazogs | i thought you were looking for the functionality first |
02:14.04 | ResuDaed | functionality isn't really a problem as my main machine des all this already |
02:14.19 | ResuDaed | (hence why it has 2 NIC's) |
02:14.30 | mazogs | oh i see |
02:14.30 | ResuDaed | I am looking for a machine to take over |
02:14.53 | mazogs | which machine is it? |
02:15.24 | ResuDaed | AMD K6-3 (400MHz) clocked at 650MHz |
02:16.28 | ResuDaed | but I want that for personal use/experiment, so if my machine fails people don't start complaining about having no internet access |
02:17.27 | ResuDaed | so during development of this 'gateway' box, I will use mine to simulate ISP as much as possible ... aiming for a seamless changeover |
02:17.38 | mazogs | it will be great if you could have the p133 for that |
02:17.53 | ResuDaed | I know ... |
02:18.26 | ResuDaed | I will hopefully be getting a few old boxes from murble (p200s) that can take over, and the 486 can go back to experimentation |
02:18.39 | mazogs | you'll have it running soon or later :-) |
02:19.14 | ResuDaed | (I plan on pushing the 486 a bit faster (around 200MHz from 33)) |
02:19.27 | ResuDaed | I am looking at some extreme cooling systems |
02:20.07 | mazogs | are you saying that you are going to put the 486 to 200MHz!!!! |
02:20.39 | ResuDaed | that is the plan, I am currently looking at a mother board that'll provide me with the clock/bus |
02:20.46 | ResuDaed | at=for |
02:21.15 | mazogs | i have to see this! |
02:21.37 | mazogs | do you know if such board exists? |
02:21.50 | ResuDaed | no, in which case I'll have to make one |
02:22.06 | ResuDaed | I know that kinbd of cooling system isn't readilly available |
02:22.35 | ResuDaed | (I know a fair bit about the x86 rchitecture, I used t be a h/ware engineer) |
02:22.38 | mazogs | how are you going to make one? |
02:23.53 | ResuDaed | great difficulty, I have been working on the design for about 4 months now |
02:24.52 | ResuDaed | the problem is that mother boards currently in existance with fast enough clocks cannot use a 486 chip |
02:25.01 | mazogs | very difficult, you can say it.... |
02:25.08 | mazogs | why? |
02:26.27 | ResuDaed | they are all built around 586 hardware, which interfaces differently with the processor |
02:27.21 | ResuDaed | the impossibility of such a scenario inspires me further to do it :-) |
02:27.23 | mazogs | you mean that are bigger problems than the socket, don't you? |
02:28.06 | mazogs | it will appear on /.!!! |
02:28.07 | ResuDaed | yes, they speak a different language |
02:29.15 | ResuDaed | I hope to get on to /., I also hope to get into the history books :-) |
02:29.21 | ResuDaed | fastest ever 16 bit processor |
02:30.04 | ResuDaed | actually, saying that, the 486 may be 32, I think it was only the OS's at the time that were 16 bit |
02:30.27 | mazogs | i once saw someone fitting a p3 on a portable c64, did you saw it? |
02:30.48 | ResuDaed | I've seen some wierd things along similar lines |
02:32.24 | ResuDaed | people will always try to do what others say is impossible |

02:42.30 | mazogs | hi |
02:43.07 | ResuDead | hi |
02:43.34 | ResuDead | I have decided to try and get FreeBSD on this box (486) |
02:44.03 | ResuDead | the extreme overclocking will not be until I have another gateway doing the same job |
02:45.04 | mazogs | i've never seen FreeBSD |
02:45.23 | ResuDead | neither have I :-) |
02:46.30 | mazogs | oh XD |
02:47.06 | mazogs | when you said me you were going to FreeBSD i thought that you both were old friends! lol |
02:48.17 | ResuDead | :-D not quite ... never met |
02:49.10 | ResuDead | I now have the problem that FreeBSD will need my machine to be a complete gateway, not just a regular proxy |
02:49.23 | ResuDead | my machine as in the *current* internet connection |
02:50.31 | ResuDead | I stand corrected, you can set it up using a regular proxy |
02:50.42 | mazogs | why? |
02:52.38 | mazogs | time has come for a carrot... |
02:53.40 | ResuDead | a carrot? |
02:54.01 | mazogs | yes, i like carrots now |
02:55.19 | ResuDead | fine, time for a vodka - I like vodka :-) |
02:55.28 | mazogs | (don't tell anyone) |
02:56.40 | ResuDead | ok, I won't :) |
02:56.55 | mazogs | vodka...... at 3:03 am.... |
02:57.28 | mazogs | i'm beggining to understand hallucinations about 200Mhz 486s.... lol |
02:57.32 | mazogs | i was joking |
02:57.52 | ResuDead | I am 'nocturnal', I sleep most of the day when I am not working, this allows me to study in the peace and quiet |
02:58.23 | ResuDead | the 486@200MHz is deadly serious though ... whether or not it'll ever work |
02:58.36 | mazogs | since i came here i don't have any fixed hour for anything |
02:58.53 | ResuDead | I say peace and queit ... currently I have POD playing at full volume |
02:59.02 | mazogs | if you can think of it, you can do it |
02:59.12 | mazogs | i can't think of it, i can't do it |
02:59.50 | ResuDead | lol, my philosophy has always been that what can be thought of can be done |
03:00.11 | mazogs | yes, and it is true |
03:01.19 | ResuDead | I managed to get linux on a 386 laptop with 4MB RAM and a 40MB HDD |
03:02.00 | ResuDead | and I am a Linux n00b compared to most of those in this LUG |
03:02.38 | mazogs | but don't forget to look for some sun light from time to time... |
03:02.55 | mazogs | you like challenges |
03:03.37 | ResuDead | I like challenges, without them I don't learn anything |
03:04.43 | mazogs | i would like to be a debian developer one day |
03:04.53 | ResuDead | http://stolen.servehttp.com/vb.png <- MS Visual Basic 3 working on Linux with a fully working TCP sockets library :-) |
03:05.14 | mazogs | but i have a lot to learn before, and problems to resolve before |
03:05.59 | ResuDead | I have a hell of a lot to learn about linux before I can do anything real career wise |
03:06.13 | ResuDead | (I have 'customised' skills) |
03:06.45 | mazogs | the same as me i think :-) |
03:06.57 | mazogs | but not in hardware |
03:07.36 | mazogs | we are in different galaxies when it comes to hardware, from what you say you are planning |
03:07.53 | ResuDead | I can do the hardware, but unless you work in R&D (a very small sector) it is boring as hell |
03:08.56 | ResuDead | I want a job in software somewhere ... pushing the boundries of something major |
03:09.17 | mazogs | what's the story behind vb3 in linux? |
03:10.04 | mazogs | i'm looking for a linux related job, but i also have the language handicap |
03:10.52 | ResuDead | I was writing some client http software for windows that used a slightly hacked sockets library, windows wasn't 'stable' enough to cope :-) |
03:13.14 | ResuDead | I am looking for a linux related job, but have the qualifications/experience handicap |
03:13.15 | mazogs | i don't understand yet :-) |
03:13.39 | mazogs | do you have any qualification? |
03:14.24 | ResuDead | I have almost no qualifications, I messed up my gcse's at school (was lazy with coursework), never got to college properly |
03:15.53 | ResuDead | I have hgad a few computer jobs, but nothing that really inspired me, so I quit them and did bar work for a while |
03:16.08 | mazogs | are there professional oriented qualifications here? |
03:16.51 | mazogs | you will have no problems with this ones, but you'll have to spent almost 2 years with them |
03:17.03 | ResuDead | many, but they are not cheap ... |
03:18.08 | ResuDead | my computer : http://stolen.servehttp.com/i/comp.jpg |
03:18.18 | mazogs | i see, it's like a vicious circle isn it? |
03:18.37 | ResuDead | yes, that's the problems I've been having for the past 2 years |
03:19.16 | mazogs | time has come to break that circle! :-) |
03:19.39 | mazogs | are these qualifications official? |
03:21.03 | ResuDead | they are mostly professionaly recognized |
03:22.07 | mazogs | how are they called? and how much they cost? |
03:22.49 | ResuDead | depends 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 |
03:24.25 | mazogs | ok thx |
03:28.48 | mazogs | is this your machine now? |
03:29.58 | ResuDead | yes |
03:30.26 | ResuDead | http://list.ftech.net/pipermail/gllug/2002-December/029498.html is the first mail |
03:30.41 | ResuDead | there were quite a few replies |
03:32.44 | *** join/#gllug mazogs (Gnuwt5052@host62-7-65-158.in-addr.btopenworld.com) |
03:32.54 | mazogs | hi again |
03:33.10 | mazogs | "gnucleus auto-evolve" |
03:33.24 | mazogs | "auto disconnect without asking too" |
03:33.56 | ResuDead | hi, did you get the url? |
03:34.16 | mazogs | no, sorry! |
03:34.43 | ResuDead | http://list.ftech.net/pipermail/gllug/2002-December/029498.html |
03:35.07 | ResuDead | that was the first email about certification, to which there were many replies |
03:35.09 | mazogs | ok |
03:39.32 | mazogs | i don't understand why companys don't take experience into account if it's from abroad |
03:39.59 | ResuDead | that was only the first email ... in actuall fact you find may people disagree |
03:40.00 | mazogs | is it the same with academic qualifications? |
03:40.45 | ResuDead | I am not an expert, but if you continue to read though the replies to that email, should answer most of your questions |
03:40.54 | mazogs | ok |
03:41.29 | ResuDead | I am going to be hitting the job market big time come january |
03:42.02 | mazogs | what are you looking for? |
03:42.16 | ResuDead | anything really, just back in IT generally |
03:42.26 | ResuDead | from there I can move on |
03:44.08 | mazogs | in Spain the chances are very few |
03:44.28 | mazogs | not only in IT but in almost everything |
03:44.46 | mazogs | our dear Aznar is shitting it all... lol |
03:44.47 | ResuDead | chances aren't that great over here at the moment |
03:45.15 | mazogs | at least i can learn a foreign language and make friends |
03:45.25 | mazogs | i was bored there |
03:46.05 | ResuDead | good enough reason |
03:47.06 | mazogs | yes, i had girlfriend and work until september, suddenly i had nothing to apart from waiting... i am bored of waiting for things to come |
03:47.33 | mazogs | ... i had nothing to do apart... |
03:49.13 | ResuDead | I 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 |
03:49.52 | ResuDead | sorry, I did the bar job from July, before then I was a h/ware engineer ... |
03:50.09 | mazogs | what a change! |
03:50.21 | ResuDead | I quit the bar job after about 6 weeks because I had to move (couldn't afford where I was living) |
03:50.37 | mazogs | i also worked in a bar when in spain 2 years ago |
03:50.52 | mazogs | here everything is very expensive |
03:50.53 | ResuDead | since then have had *no* money to my name, and debts piling up |
03:53.48 | mazogs | for 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 |
03:54.09 | ResuDead | alright for some then :-) |
03:56.56 | mazogs | i don't know for how much time! :-) |
03:57.02 | ResuDead | I hate covering letters/emails |
03:57.07 | mazogs | i've spent all my savings coming here |
03:57.20 | mazogs | so do i |
03:57.35 | mazogs | but they are absolutely neccesary |
03:57.38 | ResuDead | the cv is bad enough, but writing a letter to go with it is a nightmare |
03:57.56 | ResuDead | I'm not quite sure how to write one to be honest :-S |
04:00.07 | mazogs | i've some documents about making a cv and a covering letter |
04:00.24 | mazogs | but they are in paper, i'll have to photocopy them |
04:07.51 | mazogs | ping ResuDead |
04:12.55 | ResuDead | pong |
04:13.01 | ResuDead | (mental lag) |
04:13.19 | mazogs | estimated time: 4-5 hours... lol |
04:13.38 | ResuDead | am just writing my cv |
04:13.47 | ResuDead | ZzZz ... boring a hell |
04:13.51 | mazogs | now!? |
04:13.55 | ResuDead | why not? |
04:14.16 | mazogs | well, you are nocturnal but.... |
04:14.31 | ResuDead | I want to have it mailed by the beginning of the next 'working' day |
04:14.39 | mazogs | are you following any direction to do it? |
04:14.45 | ResuDead | my only hope of it being seen before christmas |
04:14.54 | ResuDead | backwards? |
04:15.32 | mazogs | when i went to the jobcenter, they told me to go to a place where they help me with those things |
04:15.50 | mazogs | have you been asked to go there? |
04:17.47 | ResuDead | I have never ound anything useful at the job centre |
04:17.56 | ResuDead | ^found |
04:18.08 | ResuDead | sorry, that is my personal opinion |
04:18.26 | mazogs | well, ask them that you want to go to a place called 'pathway to employment' |
04:19.00 | mazogs | you'll find very nice people there, wich will help you a lot on finding a work, trust me |
04:19.23 | mazogs | i'm very impressed with that, it's a thing that doesn't exists in Spain |
04:19.25 | ResuDead | I may try it in the new year |
04:19.59 | mazogs | go there with an open mind and get as much help as you can |
04:20.32 | mazogs | in fact there are only two compulsory classes each week, but i've assisted all modules |
04:20.41 | ResuDead | lol, open mind, open source |
04:20.59 | mazogs | i've even assisted to the one of 'surfing the net' |
04:21.15 | ResuDead | with telnet or a browser :-) |
04:21.25 | mazogs | i did it because i have the english problem and i need to hear people speaking... |
04:21.40 | mazogs | with a cuasi-browser, IE :-) |
04:22.00 | ResuDead | I'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 |
04:22.10 | ResuDead | :-) |
04:22.13 | mazogs | i can assure you that this people are going all at their hand to make you have a job |
04:22.32 | mazogs | with lynx? |
04:23.08 | ResuDead | lynx could work, but telnet = more effective |
04:23.12 | mazogs | they pay to you the travel expenses to the college if you have any |
04:23.25 | ResuDead | they pay for lunch? |
04:23.30 | mazogs | lynx through telnet i think |
04:23.44 | mazogs | not for lunch...sorry! :-) |
04:23.59 | ResuDead | ah well |
04:24.04 | mazogs | will you do it? |
04:24.41 | ResuDead | I may do, I want to see how these do first (sending CV's to advertised positions) |
04:25.04 | ResuDead | nearlly time for breakfast :-) |
04:25.43 | mazogs | the 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 |
04:26.09 | mazogs | interviews and killer questions, etc. |
04:26.17 | ResuDead | true, but I still wouldn't be able to go until the new year anyway, so I may as well see how these do first |
04:26.28 | mazogs | sure |
04:27.11 | mazogs | it'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 |
04:29.55 | ResuDead | ah well, I am applying for a job as an Asst. Web Developer, I am writing my CV in *perfect* HTML :-) |
04:30.08 | ResuDead | handcoded - of course! |
04:30.22 | mazogs | :-) |
04:31.14 | mazogs | i have to go to sleep soon my friend, my eyes are closing by seconds... |
04:32.02 | ResuDead | lol, I will get breakfast, have a shower, then go out for a job hunting session, go to bed mid-afternoon, up for the evening |
04:32.41 | ResuDead | the afternoon seems to be the most logical time to sleep for me at the moment |
04:33.28 | mazogs | ok, 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 |
04:33.40 | ResuDead | ok, thanks |
04:33.52 | mazogs | it never fails! :-) |
04:34.00 | ResuDead | lol |
04:34.38 | mazogs | ok, so time has come for me to stay more horizontally for a few hours.... |
04:34.45 | ResuDead | ok, good night |

20:12.07 | ResuDaed | one sec, I could set to box to run level 6 ... one sec |
20:12.36 | Jenson | Well done |
20:13.09 | ResuDaed | sorry 'bout that, last night I was using both, but I kind of left that box headless |
20:13.44 | ResuDaed | all is quiet |
20:15.57 | ResuDaed | I would do, but I'd probably get caught, apparantly they have ticket inspectors on your line |
20:16.15 | Jenson | Yeah they do. |
20:16.47 | Jenson | lol nice one |
20:17.19 | ResuDaed | they wanted me to pay almost 40 a week, screw that, I tenner every other weeks seemed a much better deal |
20:17.27 | ResuDaed | s/I/A |
20:18.16 | Jenson | Yeah good idea |
20:18.23 | Jenson | I told my mother....she wasn't impressed lol |
20:18.30 | ResuDaed | I think they are on to me, because I as warned that if the same guy caught me again, he'd take me to court |
20:18.57 | ResuDaed | my mother wasn't imppressed either, she found the receipts |
20:19.15 | Jenson | oopsie lol |
20:19.42 | ResuDaed | if I could have afforded it, I would have paid for the ticket, but that mas almost a days wages a week on travel |
20:19.52 | Jenson | yeah |
20:20.14 | ResuDaed | knock another 2 days for rent, a day for food, that leaves me with 1 days wages a week |

20:37.20 | | i heard jenson is a geek girl, or not in London, or a little crazy, or killing her computer on a regular basis, or innocent and clean-minded, or not, or any number of other things, or having a lot of things added to her profile by the naughty geek guys, or also adding them herself. Red Bull makes her hot |
20:37.36 | Jenson | most of that profile of mine was me and dankolb lol |
20:38.13 | ResuDaed | Jenson: you know bee? |
20:38.23 | Jenson | Yeah mate of mine |
20:38.26 | ResuDaed | is bee the person you were introducing t xchat? |
20:38.30 | Jenson | should be coming to gllug with me on the 18th |
20:38.32 | Jenson | yeah |
20:39.02 | ResuDaed | introduce her to http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html |
20:39.20 | Jenson | lol i could do |
20:39.34 | ResuDaed | (700MB download, so I wouldn't d/load it on bt internet |
20:40.19 | ResuDaed | I have it dowloading at the moment (61 kB/s and still a 3 hour or so download) |
20:40.24 | Jenson | I 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 |
20:40.45 | ResuDaed | Jenson: I#'ll bring you a copy on the 18th if you want |
20:40.50 | BorgBaby | Jenson: what software are you using to burn? |
20:40.54 | Jenson | 3kbs of FreeBSD |
20:41.00 | Jenson | s/of/on |
20:41.26 | ResuDaed | people say that broadband is 10x fast, by my reckoning, I am getting it 20x faster |
20:41.32 | Jenson | Adaptec Easy CD Creator...either version 3 or 4......dioesnt even convert mp3s by itself |
20:41.53 | Jenson | You have broadband.....cool |
20:41.53 | ResuDaed | Jenson: cdrecord |
20:42.02 | ResuDaed | Jenson: do you not wonder why I am in here 24/7? |
20:42.05 | BorgBaby | yep - cdrecord & it's many sibling progs - no such limits... |
20:42.32 | Jenson | ResuDaed: I realized you were always here....just didn't know it was broadband |
20:42.59 | BorgBaby | Nero on W***ows has a Wave editor for mp3s |
20:43.18 | Jenson | I use MusicMatch jukebox to convery |
20:43.31 | Jenson | and winamp to play (not winamp 3 though, to graphical and gimmicky) |
20:43.54 | BorgBaby | dunno - mp3burn works nicely for me, with xmms ;) |
20:44.29 | ResuDaed | Jenson: you're on 56k aren't you? |
20:44.44 | Jenson | yeah |
20:45.00 | Jenson | well 46K actually....I've never seen anything above 48k in this area |
20:45.33 | ResuDaed | then you can abuse http://stolen.servehttp.com/mp3, I don't think I'd notice you on my upstream |
20:46.58 | Jenson | Ah, damn download is killing my bandwidth |
20:48.00 | Jenson | I think your server is half dead again ResuDaed, or my browser is just deciding to time out on it |
20:50.19 | ResuDaed | actually, me server is currently updating the lists, give it a few mins |
20:51.12 | Jenson | Ah 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) |
20:51.46 | ResuDaed | that link will probably need a trailing / on it anyway |
20:52.03 | Jenson | I must sort my site out...it's still linking the graphic of my HD...and I don't want that |
20:53.05 | Jenson | *graphics off |
20:56.25 | Jenson | Oh for fuck sake, I have Frontpage Express when it doesn't work....I think I'll edit the HTML myself |
20:56.31 | Jenson | s/have/hate |
20:58.46 | Jenson | Much better, now you guys can look at my site without thinking I canb't do my HTML right lol |
20:59.45 | BorgBaby | what's your url then? |
21:01.30 | Jenson | http://www.btinternet.com/~lita16 |
21:02.15 | Jenson | hehehe |
21:02.19 | Jenson | it's rather crap at the moment |
21:03.31 | BorgBaby | didn't realise you were a goth ;) |
21:04.15 | Jenson | :) |
21:04.35 | BorgBaby | do you like the Sisters of Mercy at all? |
21:04.43 | Jenson | I'm about to add random pictures of computers just for the hell of it |
21:05.04 | Jenson | Yeah actually......I'm listening to Adema at the moment (not goth I know lol) |
21:05.51 | BorgBaby | I used to be a very big SoM fan, in my younger days...had the hair & the nail varnish as well... |
21:05.58 | Jenson | :) |
21:07.22 | BorgBaby | the trouble with Frontpage is that you end up having to edit it anyway as it inserts loads of meaningless crap into every page |
21:07.54 | Jenson | Yeah but I don't know any of my coulour codes so it's easy that way |
21:08.37 | BorgBaby | get a Dreamweaver trial - you'll never go back... |
21:08.53 | Jenson | Yeah people have said that before |

21:16.24 | BorgBaby | ResuDaed: what are you doing? |
21:16.33 | ResuDaed | moving my mp3 collection |
21:17.20 | ResuDaed | isn't all that huge, but it's been going for about 20 mins so far |
21:18.29 | Jenson | back |
21:18.33 | ResuDaed | wb |
21:18.36 | Jenson | My Mp3 collection is about 3GB |
21:18.37 | Jenson | ty |
21:18.52 | BorgBaby | what sort of link? serial/ide/ethernet? |
21:19.05 | ResuDaed | ide |
21:19.18 | ResuDaed | but on the same bus |
21:19.24 | Jenson | BorgBaby: If you want more pics of my gothness try thr pic page on http://www.face-pic.com/jenson |
21:19.49 | BorgBaby | eek! I may need another vodka for that one... |
21:20.05 | BorgBaby | (only joking) |
21:20.08 | ResuDaed | my old mp3 collection had it's own harddisk (there were about 20 divXs in there as well) 35GB |
21:20.32 | Jenson | 35GB....freaking hell |
21:20.43 | BorgBaby | as long as it doesn't stall it should be ok |
21:20.47 | ResuDaed | I 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 |
21:21.28 | ResuDaed | 35GB on a 7200rpm 40GB hdd and it's own ide bus |
21:21.28 | Jenson | I can see why you didn't back that lot up to CD... |
21:21.53 | ResuDaed | Jenson: lol, I now back up over ethernet |
21:22.10 | ResuDaed | my sister has no idea that here entire harddisk is a samba share |
21:22.15 | ResuDaed | s/here/her |
21:23.04 | Jenson | ResuDaed: Yeah but you are clever....the thought of anything that includes networking would confuse the hell outta me |
21:23.35 | BorgBaby | I've got to do a networking assignment for college that's boring the crap out of me |
21:24.11 | Jenson | BorgBaby: I'm dreading uni......I can't be arsed to learn to network...although I'd quite like to know how too |
21:24.22 | ResuDaed | BorgBaby: I know the feeling, I've had a few like that ... as well as being tought redundant (IMHO) networking topologies |
21:24.39 | BorgBaby | well - networking can be fun - just not the way our tutor does it |
21:24.48 | ResuDaed | oh shit |
21:25.03 | Jenson | networks were created to play Doom and Quake as far as I see lol |
21:25.25 | BorgBaby | ResuDaed: it's just so vague, it's pretty much make it up as you go along, just stick his notes in somewhere! |
21:25.33 | ResuDaed | cannot create directory, no space left on drive :-( |
21:25.56 | ResuDaed | where'd it all go |

21:31.02 | BorgBaby | hang on - did you say earlier that one transfer went wrong? |
21:31.02 | ResuDaed | not that I know of, most of that's in ~/mp3 and~/divx |
21:31.43 | ResuDaed | yes, but I've run it again, over writing it all |
21:33.05 | ResuDaed | time to browse through home dir deleteing what I don't need |
21:33.58 | BorgBaby | looks like it... |
21:34.39 | ResuDaed | there are only 5GB of mp3's at the moment, what's the disk hog then? |
21:34.55 | BorgBaby | how full was it before you started? |
21:35.27 | ResuDaed | no idea, I didn't think to look, I was used to having GB's of free space |
21:35.52 | BorgBaby | maybe check for a core dump |
21:36.07 | ResuDaed | on /home ? |
21:36.30 | BorgBaby | hmm... maybe not, just a (drunken) idea |

23:12.12 | ResuDaed | what's your download speed at the moment? |
23:12.15 | cupis | Jenson: tried VMS? or BeOS? AmigaOS?... |
23:12.34 | Jenson | No cupis |
23:12.41 | dankolb | You should |
23:12.43 | Jenson | 4.27kb/s |
23:13.00 | ResuDaed | that's not bad considering I only have 128k upstream |
23:13.19 | ResuDaed | I reckon I could take a second modem user |
23:13.58 | dankolb | A decent ISP? Hah |
23:14.26 | ResuDaed | I'd currently have to charge 12.50 / month for flat rate connections at that speed |
23:14.33 | Jenson | OMG and a pic of me dressed as baby spice when i was 12 lol |
23:14.39 | dankolb | :) |
23:14.42 | ResuDaed | Jenson: what url? |

23:16.54 | Jenson | ee |
23:17.00 | Jenson | well about 15 at least |
23:17.58 | ResuDaed | dankolb: I am now using vi to edit a config file, stand by for my fsck ups :-) |
23:18.15 | dankolb | Good luck :) |
23:18.23 | cupis | ResuDaed: use vim |
23:18.27 | Jenson | Now I've found a rather cool Doom screenshot |
23:18.37 | Jenson | I dread to think what's on the webspace I haven't used for ages |
23:19.35 | cupis | dankolb: but if you can use vim, you should be able to fall back to vi if the need arises |
23:19.48 | ResuDaed | does anyone have a working .jackrc conf file I could borrow? |
23:19.58 | dankolb | If you can use vi, vim is an extension of it |
23:20.04 | dankolb | And the basic editing keys are the same |
23:20.17 | ResuDaed | want to rip mp3s and get cddb info from internet |
23:20.27 | Jenson | Shit I forgot, no FTP access on yahoo anymore |
23:20.32 | ResuDaed | Jenson: your download finished :-) |
23:20.47 | Jenson | I ought to be looking for something to d/l next actually |
23:21.31 | Jenson | or going to get some sleep.... |

23:22.42 | dankolb | Hm. Dabs have finally sent out my order |
23:22.55 | dankolb | So, er, Friday's the next working day after Christmas, isn't it? |
23:23.18 | ResuDaed | I think so |
23:23.48 | ResuDaed | because you had windows installed :) |
23:23.51 | Jenson | Note to self - do not randomly click on different settings |
23:23.55 | dankolb | does Christmas Eve count as a working day, or not? (at least, with regards to courier companies) |
23:24.07 | ResuDaed | technically it is a working day |
23:24.15 | cupis | dankolb: with some it does, with others not. |
23:24.26 | dankolb | ParcelFarce |
23:24.36 | cupis | um ANC are not delivering methinks, but Securior OE should be. |
23:24.48 | cupis | dankolb: not sure about PF, but I would guess that they are |
23:25.15 | dankolb | I also hope ADSL will be installed. Demon have setup my hostname, but not assigned it an IP address |
23:25.22 | dankolb | And they haven't said if it's enabled or not |
23:25.47 | Jenson | I've just discovered a nice midi file on my site http://www.geocities.com/kehleyrscastle/mainmusic.mid |
23:25.56 | Jenson | One day I'll have my own server.... |

23:26.44 | dankolb | No. Servers |
23:26.59 | ResuDaed | dankolb: they are not that much hassle |
23:27.05 | cupis | dankolb: how so? |

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. |
23:48.39 | cupis | ibot demon is one of the oldest and wisest of all ISP's, and deserves respect. They also do a mean DSL service. :) |
23:48.41 | | okay, cupis |
23:49.29 | ResuDaed | lol, havn't heard that one before |
23:49.50 | cupis | dankolb: which package? express solo? |

Red Bull makes her hot, or a Slackware user (or pretends she has the slightest clue what she's doing) |
