00:10.08 | dankolb | hi resuDaed |
00:13.45 | resuDaed | hi dankolb |
00:14.22 | dankolb | how goes it? |
00:15.16 | resuDaed | not too bad, I'm playing with eBay 'sniping' software |
00:15.22 | dankolb | :) |
00:15.37 | dankolb | Isn't that a big legally grey? |
00:15.45 | resuDaed | (ie place a bid a few seconds before the end of the auction automagically) |
00:15.52 | dankolb | Bad resuDaed |
00:16.15 | resuDaed | technically it is a little imorral, but I have lost out on so many bids by 5-10 seconds that I feel I deserve a fighting chance |
00:16.43 | resuDaed | so I am going to set it to place max bid say 7 seconds before auction closes |
00:16.56 | resuDaed | I want to actually win something for once |
00:16.58 | dankolb | Giving someone else plenty of time.. |
00:17.35 | dankolb | www.apple.com/ipod/burton/ |
00:18.17 | resuDaed | if I make it any shorter, then I may not be able to place the bid in time (due to www lag etc) |
00:19.08 | resuDaed | pretty damn cool |
00:19.50 | highbury | is it Windows or Linux software |
00:19.58 | dankolb | Unfortunately, $500 is a bit much to pay for a jacket |
00:20.20 | resuDaed | very true |
00:20.51 | resuDaed | how do I 'install' a .pm perl moduly type addon thingie |
00:21.42 | dankolb | Stick it somewhere in /usr/lib/perl? </unhelpful> |
00:21.55 | resuDaed | it has what appears to be a man page at the end, but the rest is perl syntax |
00:23.18 | resuDaed | I have given up with the idea of 'net booting' my compaq, so am going to try booting knoppix |
00:23.34 | resuDaed | then chroot-ing onto the local disk |
00:23.58 | dankolb | why can't you netboot your compaq? |
00:24.16 | resuDaed | I don't a) have time, b) have knowledge |
00:24.31 | dankolb | Ah. |
00:24.47 | resuDaed | well, the time thingie is just due to pure impatiance |
00:24.51 | dankolb | Knowledge is aquired by time |
00:25.30 | resuDaed | I CBA to compile a kernel purley for an installation |
00:25.38 | dankolb | :) |
00:25.38 | eye69 | resuDaed: You can load a module from any directory by using 'require' in Perl. |
00:26.17 | resuDaed | eye69 : as in hack the orrigional script? |
00:26.33 | eye69 | Yeah. That way you wont have to install the module in any special way. |
00:26.49 | Leeds | resuDaed: silly question - what are you bidding on> |
00:27.02 | resuDaed | Leeds : why? |
00:27.08 | resuDaed | atm, some hdds |
00:27.20 | eye69 | Like 'require "/path/to/file.pm";' |
00:27.21 | Leeds | why what? |
00:27.22 | resuDaed | if it works, I will go for a laptop, and eventually a sparc |
00:27.41 | resuDaed | eye69 : except I cannot find the orrigional script |
00:27.49 | eye69 | Oki |
00:28.16 | resuDaed | an 'update(ing)db atm |
00:29.15 | resuDaed | (it takes a very long time) |
00:29.17 | dankolb | We got hold of another Ultra5 at work. Slightly dodgy, though. Sometimes throws up CPU0 exception errors in the middle of booting, and resets itself |
00:30.36 | Leeds | we've got a V880 on the way... |
00:30.53 | dankolb | V880? |
00:31.16 | resuDaed | ok, for some reason, this bastard of a compaq isn't booting now |
00:31.45 | Leeds | http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/880/index.html |
00:31.47 | resuDaed | I can't access the bios because that requires a proggy on the hdd (orrigional hdds are long gone now) |
00:33.05 | resuDaed | I want 64GB of main memory |
00:33.23 | dankolb | heh |
00:33.33 | dankolb | Leeds: Can you get me one? :) |
00:33.40 | Leeds | I think we've got 4 procs and probably 8GB RAM or so |
00:33.49 | Leeds | dankolb: sure, at a 0% discount! |
00:34.00 | dankolb | BAH |
00:34.27 | Leeds | actually, that's not quite true... there *is* an employee discount :-) |
00:34.28 | resuDaed | I want 8GM RAM |
00:35.12 | Leeds | resuDaed: not that a PC can handle that, but... it'd cost about 700 quid at the moment... |
00:35.43 | resuDaed | Leeds : did I say I wanted a regular PC to go with it :-) |
00:35.55 | resuDaed | so how much for a V880? |
00:36.06 | Leeds | I don't know how much they cost... |
00:37.18 | Leeds | list price, for a 4 proc 8Gb machine is... |
00:37.20 | Leeds | <PROTECTED> |
00:37.28 | dankolb | eek |
00:37.32 | resuDaed | maybe in a few years then |
00:37.48 | resuDaed | would it be any good for quake? |
00:37.56 | Leeds | oh, with 486Gb of disk... |
00:38.08 | dankolb | *drool* |
00:38.12 | resuDaed | bah, I want 1TB upwards |
00:38.26 | Leeds | we can do 1TB easy... |
00:38.41 | resuDaed | Leeds : you get commision on sales? |
00:38.43 | Leeds | we've got a couple of terabytes in our lab already... |
00:39.06 | Leeds | resuDaed: not that I know of... but if you're looking to buy one, I'll find out :-) |
00:39.09 | resuDaed | does that come with a 3 year warranty? |
00:39.14 | resuDaed | :-P |

00:41.15 | highbury | my 120Gb disk is now £100 |
00:41.22 | eye69 | I paid £130 for 120GB |
00:41.35 | dankolb | Hm. Okay. |
00:41.38 | highbury | including 8Mb cache |
00:41.48 | resuDaed | I sold one at £110, I bought at £87 |

00:47.18 | resuDaed | Leeds : tescos is 1 1/2 mile away |
00:47.21 | resuDaed | Leeds : enfield |

00:47.56 | Leeds | :-) |
00:48.57 | highbury | Colney Hatch Tesco is slightly nearer (my local one) |
00:49.28 | resuDaed | highbury : I came past there on my way home, wish I'd known |
00:49.31 | Leeds | brent cross is mine |
00:49.38 | resuDaed | I came past there too |
00:49.48 | resuDaed | (I travel a long way home) |
00:50.22 | highbury | Leeds: which is the bigger Tesco, the one by Ikea or the one opposite Brent Cross? |
00:51.05 | resuDaed | I come from staples corner on the 232 to palmers green, then121 from there to enfield ... pass 4 tescos that I've noticed, 2 at least I know are 24 hour |
00:51.06 | Leeds | highbury: I don't know - I've not been into the Brent Park one... the Watford one is enormous - you could buy a PC there now! |
00:53.37 | Fossils | anyone know how i can determine what device my dvd rom is using? |
00:53.56 | Fossils | i was pretty sure it was hdd but it still doesnt read the dvd |
00:53.59 | highbury | where's the best place to buy a box of paper nearby? Tesco used to sell a box of IBM paper 80gms for £9.99 but haven't seen any for a while |
00:54.17 | highbury | Fossils: /dev/sr0 |
00:54.43 | Leeds | highbury: staples? |
00:54.57 | Fossils | no that doesnt work either |
00:55.06 | highbury | I always thought Staples was quite expensive |
00:55.10 | Leeds | Fossils: have a look at your boot log... is it an IDE device? |

00:56.51 | Fossils | hdd dint work |
00:56.54 | Fossils | but i think |

01:02.07 | Leeds | ugh! |
01:02.24 | eye69 | resuDaed: Other way around |
01:02.25 | Leeds | Fossils: is there a particular reason you're using ide-scsi for a DVD-ROM, anyway? |
01:02.27 | Fossils | reason i? |
01:02.58 | Fossils | thats the dvd rom i have if i dont pass the hdd flag the cd rom is not usuable |
01:03.06 | resuDaed | eye69 : I thought so ... I remember it is always backwards, I just can't always remember what the right way around looks like |
01:04.21 | resuDaed | would the fact that I have a net-boot capable card affect the rest of my boot up? ie why it is not attempting to boot from IDE or SCSI? |
01:04.32 | Leeds | Fossils: are you saying it doesn't work if you just use IDE? |
01:04.41 | murb | Nukular weapons! |
01:04.48 | Fossils | yes |
01:04.50 | resuDaed | murb : can be fun |
01:05.07 | Fossils | it does it by default when i installed it...it added the hdd part by itself |
01:05.21 | Fossils | thats y slackware deosnt install it cant read my disk |
01:05.31 | resuDaed | Fossils : that is probably to do with a misplacaed link then ... ide-scsi is only really useful for burning |
01:05.57 | Leeds | and I understand the clash is fixed in 2.6 :-) |
01:06.00 | Fossils | ahh |

10:48.40 | SpudULike | Trying to figure out the virtues of running a DNS server locally for a small network. Info about the local server is taken via DHCP from my ISP. How would you normally provide local clients with DNS info? At the moment I am entering this manually, but it just don't seem right. Is this a good reason to run a local DNS just for my network? Any other plusses or minuses to take into account? |

10:51.09 | dank_work | Mmmm.... |
10:51.12 | dank_work | Nice coffee :) |
10:51.21 | dank_work | None of this instant shit any more |
10:51.25 | murb | spudulike: well it is one more thing to break... |
10:51.29 | SpudULike | The local clients are masquerading behind my local server. I can get my clients to ask for the DNS info from my ISPs DHCP server? |
10:51.39 | dank_work | No |
10:51.45 | SpudULike | Oh... |
10:51.51 | murb | but it does mean you don't have to keep things like hosts mirroreed on all machines, although that is rather trivial with rdist etc. |
10:51.52 | dank_work | You can run your own DHCP server |
10:52.03 | SpudULike | Instant coffee is only there to give you enough strength to go make real coffee! |
10:52.05 | murb | spudulike: you're ona cabelmodem? |
10:52.34 | SpudULike | murb: Yes, but not a fixed IP. |
10:52.55 | dank_work | A cabalmodem? |
10:53.16 | dank_work | The DNS servers should be the same all the time, though |
10:53.35 | SpudULike | dank_work: The local clients have fixed IPs, so I didn;t think local DHCP was needed. |
10:54.21 | SpudULike | dank_work: I must admit I've not seen them change, but entering the details by hand just seems wrong, even though it is only two machines. |
10:54.23 | dank_work | So you need to give them statis DNS settings |
10:54.33 | dank_work | If it's wrong, that's what DHCP is for |
10:55.20 | SpudULike | So DHCP isn't just for assigning IP addresses, you would use it to give out DNS info also? |
10:56.39 | dank_work | Yup |
10:56.47 | dank_work | And default routes |
10:56.58 | nasrat | and wins server should you want |
10:58.08 | dank_work | And lots of other things |
10:58.10 | nasrat | of course you could always use zeroconf and mdns for local link services |
10:58.29 | dank_work | Does the ISC DHCP server support WINS settings? Or is that some non-standard extension? |
10:58.56 | nasrat | nope it's in isc netbios-name-servers iirc |
10:59.03 | SpudULike | Ah, so, quick recap on my lack of knowledge so far. A DNS server just deals with 'swapping' numbers for words. DHCP provides info about IP addresses and where it can find stuff, like a DNS server? |
10:59.35 | nasrat | SpudULike: nope DNS can have lots more types of records - KEY, TXT, SRV |
11:00.18 | dank_work | MX |
11:01.04 | SpudULike | Hmm, what sort of services need to know about "KEY, TXT, SRV"? |
11:02.33 | nasrat | DNSSEC for one, I believe that mDNS uses SRV for service discovery. They aren't necessarily as heavily used as A CNAME and MX. Some ppl use TXT for descriptive stuff in internal dns setups. |
11:02.45 | murb | dnssec is a joke |
11:03.01 | nasrat | Also frees/wan had a dns based key exchange IIRC |
11:03.15 | murb | as is mobile ip, ipsec with opptunistic encryption etc. |
11:03.31 | dank_work | why? |
11:03.35 | murb | nasrat: using txt records. |
11:03.38 | nasrat | yup esp. with the usagi stuff |
11:03.52 | dank_work | usagi? |
11:03.53 | murb | dank: because an alternative implementation based on kame has been rolled into 2.5 |
11:04.03 | murb | dank: linux equiv of wide constortum stuff. |
11:04.09 | dank_work | Ah ride |
11:04.22 | dank_work | *right |
11:04.32 | murb | and of course it isn't actually usagi stuff that is going into the kernel either. |
11:05.09 | nasrat | murb: yeah well there seem to be at least two different japenese groups working on it from what I've seen on lkml |
11:06.20 | Tarragon | On a small network with a cable access do you really need to run your own DNS? Is not IP-forwarding sufficient and to use the ISP's DNS numbers? |
11:06.39 | nasrat | dank_work: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.ipsec.html |
11:07.59 | murb | Tarragon: internal DNS can be quite nice especally if you build up a WAVPN |
11:08.42 | SpudULike | I'll ask, WAVPN? |
11:08.52 | jason_ukfsn | Tarragon if you are not doing anything internally other than using the net then you are right you need only using the ISPs DNS servers. If you are doing any internal stuff as well run your own |
11:09.07 | jason_ukfsn | Wide Area VPN |
11:09.09 | murb | jason: or rdist hosts etc. |
11:09.27 | SpudULike | Ah. |
11:09.28 | Tarragon | Internal stuff. Such as? |
11:09.30 | jason_ukfsn | Urgh murble, that's a horrible suggestion in my view. |
11:09.47 | murb | jason: but if you have a large network dns is nice. |
11:10.25 | jason_ukfsn | Tarragon such as running file/print servers, MP3 juke boxes, database boxes, whatever you like and want to refer to by service name rather than IP. You can do as murble suggests and manually maintain hosts files which does work well enough tfor small setups |
11:10.46 | jason_ukfsn | essential murb, not nice. |
11:34.34 | dank_work | jason_ukfsn: for in in `seq 1 254` ; do scp /etc/hosts root@192.168.0.$i:/etc/hosts ; done |

11:39.08 | nasrat | dank_work: or you can write your own nss service :) |
11:39.16 | dank_work | :) |
11:40.29 | murb | dank: rdist does that properly. |
11:40.46 | dank_work | But why do things properly, if you can do it in shell script? ;-) |

13:07.49 | Davilion | ok i've got a silly problem i've managed to screw up my php in a hasty upgrade. |
13:07.50 | nesim | i am seriously thinking about upgrading to 2.4.20 but the latest sec patch has not been officially uploaded to the kernels ftp site or its mirrors. shall i wait for 2.4.21? |
13:08.27 | Davilion | for some reason apache is now not parsing .php documents and instead tells the browser its a MIME document with type httpd-php4 |
13:08.33 | nesim | i'm running 2.4.19 at the moment |
13:09.40 | dank_work | Do you need to fiddle with httpd.conf? |
13:09.47 | Davilion | dank_work: i think so |
13:09.52 | dank_work | Do that then |
13:10.02 | dank_work | nesim: If you want to wait.. |
13:10.15 | Davilion | i have LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so and AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php |
13:11.28 | dank_work | Have you done an AddModule? |
13:11.38 | dank_work | AddModule mod_php4.c |
13:12.09 | Davilion | ahh no. |
13:12.27 | dank_work | Do that then |
13:13.15 | Davilion | module mod_php4.c is already added, skipping |
13:13.25 | dank_work | Hm |
13:13.30 | nesim | dank_work: what are my options apart from waiting that is? |
13:13.43 | dank_work | Apply the patches manually |
13:15.28 | nesim | what do you actually mean by update by hand?. i am fairly new to this compilation business and have no experience of patching. i run 2.4.19 right now |
13:16.06 | nesim | i mean i am neither a programmer nor a guru and my kernel compilation experience is rather limited, in fact i have very little experience.i run linux on my desktop PC |
13:16.20 | Tarragon | loyalist songs ulster |
13:16.45 | Tarragon | Sorry wrong channel |
13:17.18 | dank_work | In which case, wait for the update |

13:18.55 | dank_work | Is there some exploit in the kernel? |
13:19.10 | Huhn | SpudULike: ok, how about: I'm blonde? |

13:37.45 | murb | Clyphox: probably not formi |

13:40.16 | dank_work | murb: Falcon in Wycombe Centre? What time? |
13:40.22 | jason_ukfsn | highbury - I've just received SPAM advertising an event seemingly featuring you. |
13:40.29 | Tarragon | murb: Less truthful? Impossible to get less truthful no matter how long my nose grows |
13:40.37 | jason_ukfsn | s/karted/larted/ |

13:41.56 | jason_ukfsn | LOL marb Shh! |
13:42.10 | highbury | jason_ukfsn: I am appearing at an event April 2, but I wasn't aware they were spamming people :-( |
13:42.16 | murb | with intergrated timing and remote mangment device, aka a pc mobo? |
13:42.16 | jason_ukfsn | s/marb/murb/ |

13:42.31 | murb | oh my plan worked :) |
13:42.37 | murb | having a machine called marble that is. |
13:42.39 | jason_ukfsn | don't forget the advanced comms module - an ethernet connection ;) |
13:43.27 | murb | have you writen a webmin module for the dummies version? |
13:43.37 | highbury | I was going to forward details to the list, it does cost £10, and I don't see any of it :-( |
13:43.49 | jason_ukfsn | That looks like it highbury. I received email addressed to an email listed in the Linux Consultants HOWTO. I've certainly never solicited such messages from them or anyone else. |
13:44.07 | jason_ukfsn | Why are you appearing at an event that is charging if you are not getting paid? |
13:44.38 | jason_ukfsn | no murb, I thought I'd just let it respond to connections on ICMP 6. |
13:45.24 | highbury | well they said that they were just covering costs, and since it could help the Free/Open software cause, or at least introduce the discussion to people, I agreed to do it |
13:45.42 | murb | have you send the spam to the list? |
13:46.08 | highbury | At least I raise my visibility, and may get the chance to hand some business cards around |
13:46.44 | highbury | I don't know, I haven't check the list yet. |
13:46.49 | jason_ukfsn | highbury I wish you luck however I have to say I would not appear for spammers. |
13:47.58 | highbury | I intend to advertise it on the list. However, if anybody objects to what's been sent so far, please send the full email with headers to me, and I'll take it up with the organisers |
13:48.21 | jason_ukfsn | which email address should I send it to highbury? |
13:48.49 | jason_ukfsn | Had you posted a note about if on the list I would not have had any problem. My problem was that what I received was spam and that is different. |
13:49.52 | highbury | cobrin_AT_highbury_DOT_net |
13:52.15 | jason_ukfsn | yhm |
13:52.23 | murb | s/_AT_/@/ s/_DOT_/./ |
13:52.43 | murb | for all spammers out there |
13:53.14 | murb | murble-gllugwebacrhive18032003CE@yuri.org.uk i wonder if i'll get any spam. |
13:53.34 | murb | yet another good reason not to have web logging, if you ask me which you didn't. |
13:54.16 | nasrat | murb: should that not be archive???] |
13:54.50 | murb | nasrat: probably. |
13:54.56 | Davilion | why not just write something that automagically munges email addresses in a harvester unfriendly fasion? |
13:55.39 | jason_ukfsn | any munging that can be human understandable can easily be scripted away by a spammer. :) |
13:59.28 | highbury | my email address, and a whole lives worth of postings are up there on the internet, I don't really care |
14:00.26 | highbury | I prefer that we do have web logging, so I can come back and taunt you, if you say something stupid. |
14:00.55 | Davilion | ibot lart stupid no brained collegues |
14:02.53 | highbury | jason_ukfsn: looking at the *SPAM*, Its not as bad as I was thinking. He puts his real email address, he doesn't hide who its being sent too. |
14:07.34 | jason_ukfsn | highbury most of the spam I receive can be identified - that is not the point. The point is that it is abusive to send it in the first place. |
14:09.45 | highbury | The majority of the spam I receive can't be linked easily back to sender, so I tend to differentiate this email from the stuff I normally see. |
14:10.46 | highbury | I guess, I needd to look up difference between spam and junk mail. |
14:13.20 | murb | spam is email i didn't ask for that annoys me. |
14:13.32 | murb | yes it is subjective. |
14:14.40 | highbury | ty murb |
14:15.42 | jason_ukfsn | spam is I feel best defined using the two terms UCE (unsolicited Commercial Email |
14:16.01 | jason_ukfsn | spam is I feel best defined using the two terms UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) and UBE (Unsolicited Bulk Email). The message I received clearly sits in the former. |
14:16.48 | jason_ukfsn | note that I do not hold these two terms to be sufficient to completely cover the issue of spam - or indeed all email spam but they are sufficient as a yardstick against email |
14:16.57 | highbury | hmmm, I like the terms/differentiation, where are they defined? |
14:17.24 | murb | jason: i can get a spam from a polition, that isn't commericial, but is still spam. |
14:17.27 | highbury | sounds better than my spam vs junk mail |
14:19.56 | eye69 | Ok, final CV at http://upcore.net/cv/ |

14:20.09 | eye69 | Opinions are welcome. |

14:20.16 | murb | which i never published :( |
14:20.23 | murb | so someone must have given it out :( |
14:20.50 | jason_ukfsn | murb do you mean politician? If so I believe that to fall within the commercial id as they are seeking to gain from you. Not all gain is financial. It's not a perfect classification though. |
14:21.15 | jason_ukfsn | murb - has your boss been financing the business by selling staff email addresses again? ;) |
14:22.56 | jason_ukfsn | whats wrong Clyphox_work? |

14:25.01 | Clyphox_work | jason_ukfsn, can't send email from one of my customers mail server because uk2's dns is going weird.. |

14:26.08 | jason_ukfsn | murb - put them on hold. |
14:27.51 | highbury | interesting backup discussion on slashdot, referring to a statement Linus said in 2001, that dump was fundamentally broken on Linux |
14:28.02 | Clyphox_work | murb - try selling them something :-) BOFH style |
14:28.51 | murb | Hello, we are a small it company from just outside Watford uknot: is that north of Watford or south of watford? |
14:29.10 | jason_ukfsn | LOL murb! |
14:32.53 | dank_work | But after work, okay? |
14:33.19 | murb | yeah. |
14:33.32 | dank_work | Falcon in Wycombe? |
14:33.35 | dank_work | Or a different pub? |
14:33.41 | murb | do you know where in wycombe rednet is based? |
14:34.04 | dank_work | Up on the Cressex Industrial Estate somewhere |
14:34.22 | murb | i suspect the falcon if it is the pub i think it is. |
14:34.33 | dank_work | The Falcon is the Wetherspoons pub in the centre |
14:34.52 | dank_work | Opposite O'Neills, and near to McDonalds. |
14:36.39 | dank_work | Is that the one you were thinking of? |

14:51.21 | dank_work | You didn't want to yesterday.... |

15:48.00 | murb | (unless national express have put up their prices again?) |

15:50.12 | SpudULike | murb: That's what I did FOSDEM for, £18.99. |
15:50.14 | murb | dank: you wouldn't be you'd be tranvelling al the way to tux. |
15:50.16 | jenson | cept i dont drive lol |
15:50.26 | murb | spudlike: so 99p more than it costs me to get to stansted. |
15:50.29 | Clyphox | ..helps hehe |
15:51.14 | murb | oh good no ganesh, so i can say oxfnord oxfnord oxfnord! |
15:51.22 | dank_work | :) |
15:51.32 | dank_work | murb: I'm going to Canada on the 26th |
15:51.43 | murb | dank: you need a different nick here to avoid confusion |
15:51.55 | SpudULike | It was only the thought of you subsidising that made me go! |
15:51.58 | murb | (yes i have broken scrolling) |
15:52.07 | dank_work | Who am I being confused with? |
15:52.17 | murb | dank_work in another channel. |
15:52.19 | dank_work | Ah :) |
15:52.22 | dank_work | Well, it's the same me |
15:52.39 | murb | but different other people. forinstance it might not be wise to start seeing fnords. |
15:52.53 | dank_work | True |
15:54.05 | dank_fnord | Now you can't confuse me with myself |
15:54.25 | jenson | yeesh how confusing |
15:54.52 | dank_fnord | Well, I'm not confused with myself |
15:54.58 | cup | If I have a string (in php) with a whole load of php commands in the string, can I execute this string? |
15:55.00 | dank_fnord | I'm just doing this for murb |
15:55.06 | dank_fnord | cup: Yes |
15:55.11 | cup | how? |
15:55.15 | dank_fnord | IIRC, it's the exec() function |
15:55.42 | dank_fnord | SpudULike: It might be, but you're not coming to the pub tonight |
15:57.24 | dpash | dank_fnord: why are you in a fnord? |
15:57.43 | dank_fnord | dpash: So as not to confuse murb |
15:57.51 | jenson | because murb was confused dpash so dank_fnord went in the fnord lol |
15:58.05 | dpash | murb is easily confused |
15:58.27 | jenson | lol dank_fnord ty |
15:58.32 | murb | dpash: I'm running irc on a high latancy low bandwith link in screen it is easy to be confused. |
15:58.49 | murb | especally when you have the same person on multiple unrelated irc channels |
15:58.51 | dpash | murb: I know how you feel, but I don't get confused by dank_work |
15:59.08 | dpash | murb: how high is high? |
15:59.38 | murb | how long does it take for my bits to do a moon bounce? |
15:59.49 | dpash | er yeah |
16:00.06 | dank_fnord | Moon is about 2ls away |
16:00.51 | murb | and dropped on the floor. |
16:00.56 | murb | and retransmitted. |
16:01.09 | dpash | murb: can we have a ping from terminal to irc client please? |
16:01.25 | dank_fnord | murb: But are you going to the moon? Surely you'd be going to a satellite? |
16:01.36 | cup | dank_fnord: doesn't exec run like commands on the system, not php specific commands? |
16:01.49 | dank_fnord | Err...might do. |
16:01.56 | dpash | php bah |
16:01.59 | dank_fnord | I don't have my PHP code, or a PHP manual handy |
16:02.05 | dank_fnord | I could look it up at home |
16:02.13 | dank_fnord | Ahh. |
16:02.17 | dpash | what about php.net |
16:02.18 | dank_fnord | eval() is your friend, I think |
16:03.49 | murb | dank: moon bounce is a more intesrting mode of communication, although meterior scatter might be more fun, for values of fun that requir ehigh speed machine RTTY |
16:04.02 | dank_fnord | yeah |
16:04.10 | dpash | murb: so what is your latency |
16:04.21 | dank_fnord | *murb |
16:04.22 | dank_fnord | :-) |
16:04.36 | dpash | dank_fnord: I don't think that is the high latency link |
16:04.54 | dank_fnord | Hence the smiley |
16:05.02 | Clyphox | (its for the boss honest) |
16:05.02 | dpash | AIUI the high-latency is between murb and murb's irc lcient |
16:05.09 | dank_fnord | The boss wants porn? |
16:05.15 | Clyphox | He's Italian |
16:05.19 | dank_fnord | :) |
16:05.21 | Clyphox | Actually he's selling it |
16:05.28 | zimm | lol |

16:05.47 | dank_fnord | From Solaris to porn |
16:05.56 | dpash | Clyphox: you do know he has to be licensed to sell R18 films |
16:06.22 | Clyphox | He's selling it to a guy who sells hundreds for a living... |
16:06.39 | Clyphox | besides.. I don't know anything.. don't even know what I'm burning.. just doing as I'm told.. |
16:06.42 | jenson | Clyphox: Whats he meant to do - when he doesnt sell porn I mean |
16:07.03 | dank_fnord | Clyphox: "Just following orders"? |
16:07.03 | dpash | Clyphox: that is no excuse in law |
16:07.23 | dpash | Clyphox: you can and will be prosected along with your boss |
16:07.28 | Clyphox | I wish I never mentioned it.. |
16:07.35 | jenson | lol Clyphox |
16:08.27 | jenson | awww |
16:08.31 | cup | cheers |
16:09.01 | jenson | Clyphox: best not mention it again methinks |
16:09.39 | eye69 | I wonder if it's possible to tell if a CD has been burned with a specific burner. |
16:09.45 | zimm | yes |
16:09.55 | zimm | power calibration area .. |
16:10.13 | dpash | is that particular drive or model of drive? |
16:10.42 | zimm | particular drive |
16:10.54 | jenson | i gotta get going |
16:11.01 | zimm | aww ,, # |

16:11.26 | eye69 | zimm: Yeah, but how exact would that be? I mean, beoynd reasonable doubt... |
16:11.34 | eye69 | beyond |
16:12.11 | *** part/#gllug jenson (~jenson@64.246.28.105) |
16:12.24 | zimm | dunno the details , i just know the power calibration area is effectively given a unique signature by the drive as it cycles |
16:12.50 | Clyphox | Anyone got any tissues? |
16:13.04 | dpash | Clyphox: you had my last one |
16:13.19 | dank_fnord | murb: Falcon tonight, and Hob on Thursday, if Spud comes? |
16:13.33 | dank_fnord | Clyphox: Have you been watching the video....? |
16:13.54 | Clyphox | would I be honest if I said no? |
16:13.56 | murb | 'k |
16:14.09 | eye69 | zimm: Like a serial number, or like a gun barrel? |
16:14.10 | dank_fnord | Unless you want a different pub. I'm not too bothered, really |
16:14.47 | zimm | eye69: more like a gun barrel, or the blisters on a spent case .. |
16:14.52 | SpudULike | Don't make plans especially around me. HW is a way to go just for a pint! |

16:15.27 | dank_fnord | SpudULike: Have two or three then |
16:15.39 | dank_fnord | It's only 35-45 minutes out of Marylebone |
16:15.41 | dank_fnord | wb jason_ukfsn |
16:17.43 | SpudULike | What's the cost of a return Marylebone to HW? |
16:18.32 | dank_fnord | Not sure. Probably around £8 or so |
16:18.38 | dank_fnord | Maybe £9 |
16:18.40 | SpudULike | Four pint???? |
16:18.51 | SpudULike | s. Four pints???? FOUR! |
16:18.52 | dank_fnord | A travelcard costs £13 from Wycombe |
16:19.15 | dpash | mach the same as here |
16:19.16 | dank_fnord | SpudULike: You go to your local pub, then, and pretend you're with us |
16:19.22 | nasrat | SpudULike: depends if beer is cheaper in HW so you may be able to make it up |
16:19.28 | dpash | 13GBP or 16.60 if you want leg room |
16:19.49 | SpudULike | Just sop long as there's a toilet for the return leg! |
16:19.49 | dank_fnord | They're decomissioned first class for us |
16:19.51 | dpash | add an extra 10GBP for late night first class return journey |
16:19.57 | dank_fnord | SpudULike: There is |
16:20.11 | dpash | dank_fnord: the 16.60 was for a virgin train, niot 1st class |
16:20.13 | SpudULike | Or even a leg for the return toilet, I'm not fussed. |
16:20.24 | dank_fnord | Ah |
16:21.01 | dpash | dank_fnord: 1st class return is like 44GBP |
16:21.06 | dank_fnord | Eek |
16:21.11 | dank_fnord | Uncheap |
16:21.22 | dpash | dank_fnord: but late night you can upgrade for 10GBP |
16:21.33 | dank_fnord | Not worth it |
16:21.42 | dpash | so for 26GBP you get 1/2 firstclass |
16:21.49 | dpash | dank_fnord: I think it is as you get free food |
16:22.01 | dank_fnord | Ah, well. |
16:22.04 | dpash | so if you are hungry ;) |
16:22.06 | dank_fnord | :) |
16:22.16 | dpash | and drinks too |
16:22.22 | dank_fnord | We don't on the local trains |
16:22.26 | dpash | alcoholic ones |
16:22.33 | dank_fnord | :) |
16:22.39 | dpash | dank_fnord: this is only for virgin trains |
16:22.43 | dank_fnord | Ah right. |
16:22.51 | dpash | not silverlink trains |
16:23.02 | dpash | silverlink have like no leg room |
16:23.34 | Clyphox | mutt uses smtp right? |
16:23.40 | dpash | nope |
16:23.44 | dpash | sendmail only |
16:24.05 | dank_fnord | dpash: If you stand, you have lots of vertical leg room |
16:24.10 | murb | dpash: chiltern railways have first class for the same price. |
16:24.19 | dpash | 44? |
16:24.37 | dpash | dank_fnord: standing for 1hour is not my idea of fun |
16:25.13 | dpash | murb: silverlink is crap, but virgin is reasonable |
16:25.30 | dank_fnord | Ah. I can get to London in 32-45 minutes |
16:25.55 | dpash | virgin to get to london is 40mins sometimes |

16:50.27 | murb | a very good question. |
16:51.51 | murb | my uk one sometimes works. |
16:52.00 | murb | but has a habbit of randomly claiming to be out of bettery |
16:52.01 | dank_fnord | Is it currently working? |
16:52.03 | dank_fnord | Ah. |
16:52.08 | dank_fnord | What about your Lux mobile? |
16:55.25 | murb | it may well work also |
16:56.52 | dank_fnord | Well, say, meet around 7pm at the pub? |
16:57.56 | murb | 'k, however i don't know how long it will take to get from here to pub. |
16:58.19 | dank_fnord | Where are you currently? |
16:59.28 | murb | Epworth house, 25 city road london, ec1y 1aa |
16:59.32 | murb | (4th floor) |
16:59.43 | dank_fnord | What time do you leave work? |
17:00.34 | murb | when i feel like it. |
17:00.38 | dank_fnord | Ah. |
17:00.47 | dank_fnord | What tube station are you close to? |
17:01.15 | murb | if anyone knows the location of a camping shop in london where i could buy skiing stuff it would be helpful. |
17:01.32 | murb | it would be even more helpful if you could buy what i need and deliver it to my door :) |
17:01.37 | dpash | murb: wouldn't it be easier to go to a skiing shop? |
17:03.39 | murb | dpash: if i know were der wao one. |
17:04.25 | nasrat | murb: http://www.edge2edge.co.uk/outlets.htm |
17:04.54 | nasrat | http://www.skitogshire.co.uk/ |
17:05.15 | nasrat | never used either and never skiid so YMMV |
17:06.49 | murb | and i can't even sort ouf insurance because their website require java |
17:08.58 | zimm | lol |
17:09.00 | zimm | java sux |
17:09.17 | dank_fnord | Only when badly done |
17:09.32 | nasrat | dank_fnord: what like by sun |
17:09.40 | dank_fnord | :) |
17:09.51 | dank_fnord | Yes, because the Microsoft version is so much better |
17:10.03 | highbury | murb: yellow pages |
17:10.23 | highbury | there's a good camping shop by Covent Garden |
17:10.47 | highbury | John Lewis / Argos for cheapie tents |
17:11.19 | murb | I'll probably try foxies and maybe if i'm desprate millets or the other jain one. |
17:11.41 | murb | highbury: i hope my aommidation organisation is sufficently organised that i wouldn't require a tent (huhn?) |
17:11.54 | Huhn | murb: wait and see ;) |
17:13.35 | dpash | highbury: argos if you want to freeze and have the thing fall apart |
17:16.06 | highbury | most people don't look after their tents, so they tend to fall apart after half a dozen uses, cheap ones have their place |
17:16.48 | highbury | of course, I wouln't stint on a decent sleeping bag |
17:17.02 | dpash | highbury: yep |
17:17.23 | murb | stop agreeing. |
17:17.30 | dpash | murb: no |
17:17.41 | murb | how can we have decent arguments if everyone agrees? |
17:17.50 | dank_fnord | Exactly |
17:17.58 | dpash | murb: darn right there |
17:19.05 | murb | well not unless someone stops so low as to delibratly troll others. |
17:19.13 | murb | s/stops/stoops/ |
17:19.19 | murb | I'm good as spelling really i am. |
17:19.27 | dank_fnord | s/as/at/ |
17:19.33 | Tarragon | If you are camping invest in a space blanket (Thin foil sheet) and sleep on top of it. They do make a difference |
17:20.19 | murb | I'm not camping, i *hope* !!! |
17:20.39 | murb | and invest implies spend money, and money should only be spend on beer. |
17:20.56 | murb | everything else unless it is in the search of such liquid is wasted. |
17:20.59 | Huhn | murb: make some more comments on well fed chicken and you will be camping ;)) |
17:21.00 | Tarragon | Beer can keep you warm. Nice rosy glow |
17:21.05 | murb | so petrol to drive to the pub is fine. |
17:21.08 | nasrat | ah nearly end of day - beer ... |
17:21.50 | murb | cool you didn't donitce the chicken drumsticks. |
17:22.25 | highbury | dpash: what catalogues |

22:14.45 | Clyphox | I'm starting to hate netbsd |
22:15.43 | Leeds | Apparently it doesn't like you either, so says the word on the street |
22:17.39 | Clyphox | so it seems.. trying to install on my desktop box atmm |
22:17.50 | Clyphox | At least it hasn't wipede my HDD like earlier |
22:18.04 | Clyphox | And I seem to understand the fdisking perfectly now.. |
22:18.17 | highbury | what are you installining netbsd on? |
22:19.26 | Clyphox | Dual P3 |
22:19.32 | Clyphox | (boring I know) |
22:19.38 | Clyphox | I dno't have anything else.. |
22:20.37 | highbury | .. better to do? |
22:21.23 | highbury | so why not something else, like Linux or FreeBSD? (OpenBSD won't work on dual machine) |
22:21.30 | Clyphox | I like having many OS'es to choose from.. just adding another.. |
22:21.40 | highbury | netbsd is mostly intended for weird hardware |
22:22.13 | Clyphox | I have BeOS,the 3 Linuxes |
22:22.44 | Clyphox | netbsd is intended for simplicity.. it just seems to get ported to everything hehe :-) |
22:23.11 | Clyphox | Woohoo I'm into the system |
22:23.45 | highbury | NetBSD is oriented round getting running on as much as possible, I'd prefer something which utilised the hardware I had, not a bunch of old legacy systems |
22:24.06 | highbury | .. but I guess if you have the spare systems, why not |
22:24.36 | Clyphox | Its great for me cause I like old systems.. |
