08:31.58 | highbury | morning |
08:59.45 | dank_work | Morning |
09:07.35 | highbury | hi Dan |
09:27.33 | dank_work | Mozilla crashes too much |
09:48.27 | eye69 | Morning |
09:48.34 | eye69 | Work....monday.... *sighs* |
09:58.27 | dank_work | Yeah |
09:59.48 | dank_work | Work...get paid |
10:08.19 | eye69 | dank_work: Yeah, it sucks, doesn't it? |
10:08.26 | dank_work | Getting paid doesn't suck |
10:08.43 | dank_work | Means I have money to come to gllug, get abused for not liking Debian, and drinking beer :) |
10:12.51 | eye69 | Heh |
10:12.57 | eye69 | Do I abuse you? :) |
10:13.07 | highbury | ahh we all get abused for not liking Debian ;-p |
10:13.44 | dank_work | Oh yeah :) |
10:13.55 | eye69 | Bah |
10:14.09 | dank_work | Humbug |
10:14.32 | highbury | I've done a debian install via Knoppix, and that is quite painless now |
10:15.48 | eye69 | The point of _installing_ Knoppix eludes me. |
10:15.55 | highbury | but there are a few things to tidy up afterwards, not least of all working out how to boot it from SuSE 8.1 Grub |
10:16.03 | eye69 | I mean, doesn't it install everything but the kitchen sink? |
10:16.13 | highbury | once you install Knoppix, its actually then Debian |
10:22.03 | highbury | but once you've installed at least you have a nice shiny kitchen sink with the latest versions on X11 and a decent selection of apps |
10:22.45 | highbury | unlike most Debian installs, which require several days worth of apt-get's and flaky updates |

10:30.34 | zachary | Good morning! |
10:32.05 | dank_work | hi |
10:32.21 | SpudULike | Morning all. |
10:32.51 | SpudULike | I fear my Cd Writer has packed up on me! Bah!! |
10:33.04 | dank_work | bah indeed |
10:33.05 | dank_work | :( |
10:33.06 | eye69 | Feck...another laptop with bad HD |
10:33.32 | eye69 | highbury: Flaky updates? |
10:33.51 | eye69 | SpudULike: I fear the day when my cd writer packs up on me |
10:34.01 | eye69 | You can hardly get SCSI writers these days |
10:34.08 | dank_work | You can, but the aren't cheap |
10:34.27 | SpudULike | My is, possibly was, a SCSI. |
10:34.38 | eye69 | Exactly...my current one (Yamaha 16x10x40) I got for £100 inc VAT and shipping |
10:35.03 | SpudULike | I've got the same drive, external. |
10:35.42 | eye69 | Cool |
10:35.53 | eye69 | Been working fine for me |
10:37.21 | SpudULike | This drive was working just before XMas. Now it will only write to RW media and won't read what's it's written, though those disks can be read in other drives. V. odd. |
10:42.59 | SpudULike | Do you think that could work? I've never had to use a CD lens cleaner before, but I remember hearing that they do more harm than good? |
10:43.37 | eye69 | That might be true if you get a low-quality one |
10:44.40 | SpudULike | They come in different quality. How much would a good quality cleaner set me back. |
10:45.29 | eye69 | Not a clue |
10:46.41 | eye69 | http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=030113104536391&moduleno=25379&modulecode= |
10:47.29 | dank_work | Dunno. The alternative is using a cotton bud, and be careful |
10:47.35 | dank_work | (it worked on a hifi CD player) |
10:47.55 | eye69 | In that _DO NOT_ use acethone |
10:50.21 | SpudULike | What solvent should I use? Iso.? |
10:50.45 | eye69 | Yeah, isopropanol is the best |
10:50.56 | eye69 | Acethone eats plastic... |
10:52.09 | SpudULike | Yeah, 'spose it would leave the case in a mess. |
10:52.47 | SpudULike | The head cleaning kits all mention readers. Do you think there is any special consideration in using them on a writer? |
10:53.23 | eye69 | Wouldn't think so. |
10:53.52 | dank_work | Nah. Writers just use a more powerful laser |
10:56.00 | eye69 | It's certainly worth a shot. |
10:56.38 | eye69 | I would do the cleaning manually, provided that I could get hold of isopropanol. Where can you get that in the UK? |
10:57.15 | SpudULike | Chemists will sell it in small quantities. I have some. |
10:57.18 | dank_work | Probably any decent chemist shops? |
10:57.28 | dank_work | (i.e. not boots) |
10:57.37 | SpudULike | They all have it for 'cleaning' purposes. |
10:57.40 | eye69 | http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=030113104536391&moduleno=4671&modulecode= |
10:57.58 | eye69 | Ah. I should get some. |
10:58.05 | SpudULike | Yeah, I was looking a Maplin. |
10:58.15 | dank_work | OHP acetate cleaner is isopropanol, isn't it? |
10:58.53 | SpudULike | dank_work: I don't think it is pure. |
10:59.38 | dank_work | Or maybe just the stuff we had at school was done by the chemistry lab |
11:00.32 | SpudULike | I've also learnt, from experience, not to use 'Surgical Spirit' for cleaning! |
11:00.42 | eye69 | A lot of "broken" writers could probably be saved. |
11:05.14 | dank_work | what's in surgical spirit? |
11:06.44 | SpudULike | The need to cure! ;-) |
11:07.44 | SpudULike | Or to operate, at the very least. |
11:23.57 | dank_work | :) |
11:24.08 | dank_work | yeah, but what's the chemical composition? |
11:24.14 | dank_work | Isn't it just ethanol? |
11:28.59 | SpudULike | You'ld have thought so. The stuff I used may have had something like an antiseptic in suspension. It certainly left some residue after evaporating. |
11:29.24 | highbury | 100% vodka |
11:31.40 | SpudULike | OK, wet or dry cd lens cleaner? Will the wet type be set on fire by the laser ;-) |
11:33.58 | eye69 | SpudULike: I'd bet on wet. |
11:36.42 | SpudULike | I think you are right. I only hope my eyebrows will have grown back by the GLLUG meeting. |
11:37.23 | eye69 | Hehehe |
11:37.34 | eye69 | You'll be like Steve-O |
11:38.38 | dank_work | :) |
11:39.07 | dank_work | I'd go for wet - couple of drops of isoprop onto the brushes, and you're away |
11:41.20 | Tarragon | Surgical spirit is ethanol with a small amount of methanol added (that way it is unfit to drink) and oil of wintergreen (smells bad). whereas Methylated spirits is Ethanol, methanol, pyridine and dye |
11:42.46 | Tarragon | USA rubbing alcohol is Propan-2-ol (Isopropanol (Isopropyl alcohol)) and is the cleaner sold by maplins and RS |
11:44.51 | SpudULike | What does the wintergreen do? |
11:46.03 | SpudULike | Does it just smell bad, or does it do something more, err, efficacious? |
11:46.30 | SpudULike | effocatious, even |
11:46.41 | dank_work | Ah. I thought Meths was just Methanol (plus blue dye) |
11:46.41 | SpudULike | err. Something better. |
11:47.15 | Tarragon | the wintergreen gives it a sour smell but also acts as a strong flavour making it unoaletteable. |
11:47.25 | Tarragon | s/o/p |
11:49.20 | SpudULike | Ah, ok. I'm not sold on the idea of the cleaning kits to be honest with you all. I think I will try a 3M drop test on the drive, to see if that will shake things up a bit. Gotta go. Big time L8ers city, etc. |
11:49.24 | Tarragon | Pyridine gives Meths that bad smell |
11:49.34 | dank_work | bye SpudULike |
11:51.47 | highbury | I use Isoclene for delicate stuff, and Foamy stuff for keyboards and screens |
11:53.12 | dank_work | wot no coke? :) |
11:54.42 | dank_work | The acid in coke makes it a good cleaner. At least for toilets. |
11:55.15 | highbury | not good for keyboards |
12:02.20 | dank_work | Or monitors |
12:03.33 | highbury | or more specifically down the back of monitors, thru the air holes |
12:05.26 | highbury | I usually use Foamclean from AF (Silver and Blue Tins), but last time I got some stuff from Tesco made by Dataclean, it fizzes up quite viciously, also great for getting static shocks off monitor |
12:05.27 | dank_work | :) |
12:05.32 | dank_work | heh |
12:05.36 | dank_work | I have an LCD monitor |
12:05.45 | dank_work | Getting coke down the front of that is BAD |
12:05.49 | highbury | sorry Foamclene |
12:05.52 | dank_work | (at least, I think it would be) |
12:06.47 | highbury | nah, if it cleans copper pennies it must be good, probabl;y great for motherboards (coke that is) |
12:06.57 | dank_work | :) |
12:15.27 | Tarragon | If left on it could strip the laquer of the board. Somehow I don't think I will try though. |
12:15.36 | dank_work | :) |

17:28.36 | dank_work | Personally, I want to come back on Sunday; don't know about the others |
17:28.44 | Tarragon | And the other problem is where to leave the car. |
17:29.30 | Leeds | Monday is starting to sound very tempting - I would have to pay for the extra night in the hotel, but the ide of a day in Brussels, and not rushing back on Sunday, sounds nicer as I think about it |
17:29.41 | Leeds | Tarragon: you could leave it outside my flat if you need to :-) |
17:30.15 | Tarragon | I would like to but the house prices in the area would fall as a result. |
17:30.56 | dank_work | Tarragon: Take it to Oxford :) |
17:31.20 | Leeds | dank_work: I think he meant leave it for the weekend, not forever... |
17:31.51 | dank_work | :) |
17:32.43 | dank_work | You'll get your car back, won't you? |
17:33.19 | Leeds | yeah... to sell it as scrap |
17:33.26 | dank_work | heh |
17:33.39 | Leeds | murble: the Ibis from last year is the best bet IMHO |
17:33.40 | dank_work | maybe it just wasn't meant to go long distances |
17:33.53 | murble | nobody is going to do the youthhostel thing? |
17:34.36 | Leeds | dank_work: I've done over 45000 miles in it - just never to Oxford before :-) |
17:34.39 | dank_work | :) |
17:35.37 | murble | oh, i found free accomidation last year. |
17:35.42 | Tarragon | 45Kmiles - That's like brand new. Just clocked 148K in one and 117K in second car (Third car only has 29K) |
17:37.09 | Leeds | yeah, well... |
17:40.59 | Tarragon | If you are coming back on Monday - then what time train? |
17:41.28 | Leeds | afternoon/evening |

17:42.15 | Leeds | bloody slow site they've got |
17:42.43 | Leeds | I'd say something like 1701 |
17:42.57 | Leeds | arriving 1843 |
17:46.37 | Tarragon | OK that has probably decided it for me. I will probably come back on Sunday night. A whole extra day in Brussels is too much for me. The Sunday night was appealing (LBW) but I have done Brussels and work phoning continually will spoil things for me. I will speak to Dean and see what he wants to do. |
17:47.39 | murble | Tarragon: the friday night is LBW |
17:48.26 | Tarragon | Yes but we also got drunk last time on the Sunday. I remember still drinking with Philip as dawn came up. |
17:49.26 | murble | which Philip? |
17:49.56 | Tarragon | The Friday night was in that weird pub upstairs passed the horse with all the balloons on it. |
17:51.01 | murble | hehe, i think mr paeps is finding a different pub that does liter yards of ale. |
17:51.08 | murble | s/liter/litler/ |
17:51.20 | Tarragon | Which Philip? I wish I knew. My memory says with Kevin Lee. |
17:51.36 | murble | Kevin lee has gone gone away run away |
17:51.53 | Tarragon | Meter of ale does not sound quite right. |
18:01.12 | Tarragon | L8ers |
18:03.08 | Leeds | Dean was certainly talking about staying till Monday when I spoke to him about it yesterday, but he said he didn't want to book until after Saturday when we could talk face-to-face about it |
18:05.55 | Leeds | I'll be taking the day off work on the Monday, and taking the Friday as out-of-the-office-but-working time |

23:50.12 | dankolb | Go on, then. As long as it's not *too* long :) |
23:50.35 | Leeds | well... :-) |
23:51.05 | Leeds | back in 1994, I was on a study program (approximately) in Israel, living in dorms in a study center in Jerusalem |
23:52.17 | Leeds | we had a bunch of teachers, and two youngish (post-army, around 22) Israeli madrichim (leaders, approximately - they were somewhat like tutors in halls at Uni) |
23:53.28 | Leeds | one was a bloke called Dror who'd been in the Navy, who played the flute, and who liked an Israeli singer called Noa (full name Achinoam Nini) - and played her music to all of us, trying to get us to like her stuff too |
23:54.27 | Leeds | I quite liked her music, bought a couple of her tapes (on the grey market) as part of my 'immersing in Israeli culture' thing... |
23:55.31 | Leeds | she came to London a couple of years later, and UJS (the Union of Jewish Students) promoted the conference, so a bunch of us (mainly people who'd been in Israel with me) came down from Liverpool for the weekend for the concert - much fun was had by all |
23:55.44 | dankolb | cool :) |
23:56.55 | Leeds | since then I've bought a couple of her other CDs, and joined her online 'fan club' (a yahoo group), having actually ordered her latest English CD (she mainly sings in English and Hebrew, also French and Spanish) from an online shop in Israel |
23:58.08 | Leeds | last year, she performed in London for the second time ever, and I went along, met a couple (never worked out if they were a real couple or not...) of the more dedicated fan-club people who'd come over from the continent for the concert and went backstage after the concert to meet Noa and the band, which was exceedingly cool |
23:59.06 | Leeds | except for the fact that the stage was invaded by a couple of anti-Israel protesters (fuckwits - Noa is pro-peace, regularly performs at peace rallies, criticises the Israeli government and often performs with Palestinian friends of hers) |
23:59.27 | Leeds | I was sitting right at the front - they ran past me, scared Noa shitless and so on :-( |
