08:31.58highburymorning
08:59.45dank_workMorning
09:07.35highburyhi Dan
09:27.33dank_workMozilla crashes too much
09:48.27eye69Morning
09:48.34eye69Work....monday.... *sighs*
09:58.27dank_workYeah
09:59.48dank_workWork...get paid
10:08.19eye69dank_work: Yeah, it sucks, doesn't it?
10:08.26dank_workGetting paid doesn't suck
10:08.43dank_workMeans I have money to come to gllug, get abused for not liking Debian, and drinking beer :)
10:12.51eye69Heh
10:12.57eye69Do I abuse you? :)
10:13.07highburyahh we all get abused for not liking Debian ;-p
10:13.44dank_workOh yeah :)
10:13.55eye69Bah
10:14.09dank_workHumbug
10:14.32highburyI've done a debian install via Knoppix, and that is quite painless now
10:15.48eye69The point of _installing_ Knoppix eludes me.
10:15.55highburybut there are a few things to tidy up afterwards, not least of all working out how to boot it from SuSE 8.1 Grub
10:16.03eye69I mean, doesn't it install everything but the kitchen sink?
10:16.13highburyonce you install Knoppix, its actually then Debian
10:22.03highburybut 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
10:22.45highburyunlike most Debian installs, which require several days worth of apt-get's and flaky updates

10:30.34zacharyGood morning!
10:32.05dank_workhi
10:32.21SpudULikeMorning all.
10:32.51SpudULikeI fear my Cd Writer has packed up on me!  Bah!!
10:33.04dank_workbah indeed
10:33.05dank_work:(
10:33.06eye69Feck...another laptop with bad HD
10:33.32eye69highbury: Flaky updates?
10:33.51eye69SpudULike: I fear the day when my cd writer packs up on me
10:34.01eye69You can hardly get SCSI writers these days
10:34.08dank_workYou can, but the aren't cheap
10:34.27SpudULikeMy is, possibly was, a SCSI.
10:34.38eye69Exactly...my current one (Yamaha 16x10x40) I got for £100 inc VAT and shipping
10:35.03SpudULikeI've got the same drive, external.
10:35.42eye69Cool
10:35.53eye69Been working fine for me
10:37.21SpudULikeThis 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.
10:42.59SpudULikeDo 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?
10:43.37eye69That might be true if you get a low-quality one
10:44.40SpudULikeThey come in different quality.  How much would a good quality cleaner set me back.
10:45.29eye69Not a clue
10:46.41eye69http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=030113104536391&moduleno=25379&modulecode=
10:47.29dank_workDunno. The alternative is using a cotton bud, and be careful
10:47.35dank_work(it worked on a hifi CD player)
10:47.55eye69In that _DO NOT_ use acethone
10:50.21SpudULikeWhat solvent should I use?  Iso.?
10:50.45eye69Yeah, isopropanol is the best
10:50.56eye69Acethone eats plastic...
10:52.09SpudULikeYeah, 'spose it would leave the case in a mess.
10:52.47SpudULikeThe head cleaning kits all mention readers.  Do you think there is any special consideration in using them on a writer?
10:53.23eye69Wouldn't think so.
10:53.52dank_workNah. Writers just use a more powerful laser
10:56.00eye69It's certainly worth a shot.
10:56.38eye69I would do the cleaning manually, provided that I could get hold of isopropanol. Where can you get that in the UK?
10:57.15SpudULikeChemists will sell it in small quantities.  I have some.
10:57.18dank_workProbably any decent chemist shops?
10:57.28dank_work(i.e. not boots)
10:57.37SpudULikeThey all have it for 'cleaning' purposes.
10:57.40eye69http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=030113104536391&moduleno=4671&modulecode=
10:57.58eye69Ah. I should get some.
10:58.05SpudULikeYeah, I was looking a Maplin.
10:58.15dank_workOHP acetate cleaner is isopropanol, isn't it?
10:58.53SpudULikedank_work: I don't think it is pure.
10:59.38dank_workOr maybe just the stuff we had at school was done by the chemistry lab
11:00.32SpudULikeI've also learnt, from experience, not to use 'Surgical Spirit' for cleaning!
11:00.42eye69A lot of "broken" writers could probably be saved.
11:05.14dank_workwhat's in surgical spirit?
11:06.44SpudULikeThe need to cure!   ;-)
11:07.44SpudULikeOr to operate, at the very least.
11:23.57dank_work:)
11:24.08dank_workyeah, but what's the chemical composition?
11:24.14dank_workIsn't it just ethanol?
11:28.59SpudULikeYou'ld have thought so.  The stuff I used may have had something like an antiseptic in suspension.  It certainly left some residue after evaporating.
11:29.24highbury100% vodka
11:31.40SpudULikeOK, wet or dry cd lens cleaner?  Will the wet type be set on fire by the laser  ;-)
11:33.58eye69SpudULike: I'd bet on wet.
11:36.42SpudULikeI think you are right.  I only hope my eyebrows will have grown back by the GLLUG meeting.
11:37.23eye69Hehehe
11:37.34eye69You'll be like Steve-O
11:38.38dank_work:)
11:39.07dank_workI'd go for wet - couple of drops of isoprop onto the brushes, and you're away
11:41.20TarragonSurgical 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
11:42.46TarragonUSA rubbing alcohol is Propan-2-ol (Isopropanol (Isopropyl alcohol)) and is the cleaner sold by maplins and RS
11:44.51SpudULikeWhat does the wintergreen do?
11:46.03SpudULikeDoes it just smell bad, or does it do something more, err, efficacious?
11:46.30SpudULikeeffocatious, even
11:46.41dank_workAh. I thought Meths was just Methanol (plus blue dye)
11:46.41SpudULikeerr.  Something better.
11:47.15Tarragonthe wintergreen gives it a sour smell but also acts as a strong flavour making it unoaletteable.
11:47.25Tarragons/o/p
11:49.20SpudULikeAh, 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.
11:49.24TarragonPyridine gives Meths that bad smell
11:49.34dank_workbye SpudULike
11:51.47highburyI use Isoclene for delicate stuff, and Foamy stuff for keyboards and screens
11:53.12dank_workwot no coke? :)
11:54.42dank_workThe acid in coke makes it a good cleaner. At least for toilets.
11:55.15highburynot good for keyboards
12:02.20dank_workOr monitors
12:03.33highburyor more specifically down the back of monitors, thru the air holes
12:05.26highburyI 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
12:05.27dank_work:)
12:05.32dank_workheh
12:05.36dank_workI have an LCD monitor
12:05.45dank_workGetting coke down the front of that is BAD
12:05.49highburysorry Foamclene
12:05.52dank_work(at least, I think it would be)
12:06.47highburynah, if it cleans copper pennies it must be good, probabl;y great for motherboards (coke that is)
12:06.57dank_work:)
12:15.27TarragonIf left on it could strip the laquer of the board. Somehow I don't think I will try though.
12:15.36dank_work:)

17:27.42TarragonNo not yet. I was waiting to see when most were travelling. 1027 friday out seems fine - just coming back unsure.
17:28.10Leedsme too
17:28.36dank_workPersonally, I want to come back on Sunday; don't know about the others
17:28.44TarragonAnd the other problem is where to leave the car.
17:29.30LeedsMonday 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
17:29.41LeedsTarragon: you could leave it outside my flat if you need to :-)
17:30.15TarragonI would like to but the house prices in the area would fall as a result.
17:30.56dank_workTarragon: Take it to Oxford :)
17:31.20Leedsdank_work: I think he meant leave it for the weekend, not forever...
17:31.51dank_work:)
17:32.43dank_workYou'll get your car back, won't you?
17:33.19Leedsyeah... to sell it as scrap
17:33.26dank_workheh
17:33.39Leedsmurble: the Ibis from last year is the best bet IMHO
17:33.40dank_workmaybe it just wasn't meant to go long distances

17:35.42Tarragon45Kmiles - That's like brand new. Just clocked 148K in one and 117K in second car (Third car only has 29K)
17:37.09Leedsyeah, well...

17:42.57Leedsarriving 1843
17:46.37TarragonOK 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.
17:47.39murbleTarragon: the friday night is LBW
17:48.26TarragonYes but we also got drunk last time on the Sunday. I remember still drinking with Philip as dawn came up.

23:49.39Leedsunless you really don't want it, you're about to hear the small-world story...
23:50.12dankolbGo on, then. As long as it's not *too* long :)
23:50.35Leedswell... :-)
23:51.05Leedsback in 1994, I was on a study program (approximately) in Israel, living in dorms in a study center in Jerusalem
23:52.17Leedswe 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)
23:53.28Leedsone 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
23:54.27LeedsI quite liked her music, bought a couple of her tapes (on the grey market) as part of my 'immersing in Israeli culture' thing...
23:55.31Leedsshe 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
23:55.44dankolbcool :)
23:56.55Leedssince 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
23:58.08Leedslast 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
23:59.06Leedsexcept 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)
23:59.27LeedsI was sitting right at the front - they ran past me, scared Noa shitless and so on :-(
