| 00:07.49 | resuDaed | but through aterm |
| 00:08.23 | dankolb | irssi is so much nicer than BitchX. Specially for multiple channels and servers |
| 00:08.24 | resuDaed | BitchX version BitchX-1.0c19 (20020325) |
| 00:08.40 | resuDaed | I'm willing to try it, console based? |

| 09:44.21 | dpash | my tory MP resigned from the shadow cabinet |
| 09:44.23 | dpash | w00t |
| 09:44.32 | dpash | how likely was that |
| 09:44.56 | simon | Ha, I thought it was just the Labour MPs quitting |
| 09:45.11 | simon | Was he a London MP? |
| 09:45.18 | dpash | nope. 15 tory MPs voted for the amendment |
| 09:45.22 | dpash | nope Mid Beds |
| 09:46.07 | simon | Thats interesting though, maybe you'll have a by-election, or will they nominate a replacement |
| 09:47.01 | dpash | has been the MP for a long time here |
| 09:50.00 | dpash | what program was sandi toksvig in? |
| 09:50.56 | SpudUAway | 73 |
| 09:51.22 | dpash | with words and various meanings |
| 09:51.33 | SpudUAway | Though that was a very long time ago, long enough for me to fancy her AND not realise she was a lesbian. |
| 09:51.41 | SpudUAway | Err, wrong channel, err. |
| 09:52.01 | SpudUAway | Call My Bluff, if you dare!# |
| 09:52.07 | dpash | w00t |
| 09:52.16 | dpash | that was driving me made |
| 09:52.21 | dpash | s/de/d |
| 09:53.46 | SpudUAway | Though that was far funnier, in the distant past, of a Monday evening with Robert Robinson, Frank Muir and Patrick Campbell. |
| 09:54.49 | dpash | I used to come home after school to catch CMB, News, neighbours, Quincy |
| 09:54.58 | dpash | those were the days |
| 09:56.50 | SpudUAway | Then there was the other occasion when the whole of the BBC nearly got taken off air because of the, then much tighter, obscenity laws, when Patrick Campbell was introducing 'Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass'. |
| 09:58.11 | SpudUAway | Do you remember Ramsey Street when Ramsey's actually lived there. Max Ramsey, what a character. |
| 09:59.18 | dpash | I remember the episode where one of them is in a nappy |
| 10:01.02 | SpudUAway | Hmm, with the help of drugs I suppose I could too. |
| 10:02.39 | SpudUAway | What was CMB??? |
| 10:04.04 | dpash | Call My Bluff |
| 10:04.45 | dpash | mmm the Debbie Martin |
| 10:05.28 | SpudUAway | Oh, sorry, CMB for me will always be a Monday evening thing. Bob Holness will always be Bond too. |
| 10:05.42 | dpash | Although watching a episode on Uk Gold the other day, I may be wrong |
| 10:06.09 | dpash | Bond? Casino Royale? or something else? |
| 10:06.17 | dpash | Bob == Blockbusters |
| 10:08.43 | SpudUAway | IIRC, 'I'll have a pee please Bob' was the first to play Bond, but it was on South African radio. Prolly was Casino Royale. |
| 10:14.54 | dpash | okay I thought radio migh have something to do with it |
| 10:15.06 | dpash | I don't recall Bob in Casino Royale |
| 10:16.37 | SpudUAway | Seeing as talking of Casino Royale brings us nicely back to Herb Alpert, I think I'll go out for a walk. Laters chaps and chapesses. |

| 10:55.45 | dpash | Tarragon: comments? |
| 10:56.18 | Tarragon | The list does have two splits AFAIK - LinuxCafe and Volunteers |
| 10:56.34 | dpash | but they are not official? |
| 10:57.00 | dank_work | :) |
| 10:57.25 | nasrat | are we talking about signal:noise? |
| 10:57.39 | dpash | yeah |
| 10:57.54 | Tarragon | Hmmm dodgy ground that. Nothing is official. As far as I know if anyone in group wants to do something they can. So they are as official as anything else. |
| 10:58.10 | dpash | Tarragon: I meant with the gllug name attached |
| 10:59.06 | dank_work | LinuxCafe is official. It even has an IRC channel :) |
| 10:59.13 | dank_work | How much more official can you get? |
| 10:59.54 | nasrat | thing is gllug is a charterless group, and part of the reason it's so busy is historic (especially when meetings were less frequant) |
| 10:59.55 | dpash | dank_work: but is it gllug-linuxcafe@gllug.lug.org.uk? |
| 11:00.29 | dpash | nasrat: so are the other lugs I know (charterless group) |
| 11:00.44 | Tarragon | I don't think we could ever stop that. I know highbury did not like the #gllugbar channel and Jenson changed it to #morcanna for chat - although that seems to have now died. #gllugbar does still exist but no one ever visits. |
| 11:01.30 | nasrat | dpash: yeah true, I quite like the list I think it's just going through a patch. It was the same a few months after I joined many moons ago |
| 11:02.07 | Tarragon | Signal:noise is a recurring theme every couple of months. Depends whether you are interested in topic or not. |
| 11:02.46 | dpash | Tarragon: but it may be useful to have a list that is purely linux help and keep discussions on a separate list |
| 11:02.52 | nasrat | yeah although there seem to be lots more ppl lacking google skills |
| 11:03.06 | dpash | so people who only want help are not scared off by flames |
| 11:03.36 | dpash | nasrat: google doesn;t have the answers for everything |
| 11:04.56 | dpash | besides "help" "FOAD - See google" isn;t very friendly |
| 11:05.09 | dpash | damn this ; key |
| 11:08.00 | Huhn | moin |
| 11:08.02 | nasrat | problem is I like the more technical discussions, but I also occasionally help ppl. So I'd end up subscribed to both groups. It doesn't allow for what may be thought to be a simple issue to digress into more techincal discussion |
| 11:08.21 | dank_work | hi Huhn |
| 11:08.28 | Huhn | hi dank_work |
| 11:08.37 | Tarragon | If enough (actually I am not sure if 1 is enough) wanted a separate list then yes we would. Who gets to say if something is OT and should be moved? Would this mean moderating the list. Today I think I have killed about 30 spams from the list, highbury, SpudUAway and Hamster all do the same. Moderating would add to the workload |
| 11:14.04 | Tarragon | I wouldn't mind if I was competent at something. Most of the time I feel like a charlatan. I managed to put up the photos but failed to write the front page for it explaining how to use IRC clients. |
| 11:15.49 | Tarragon | Every time I ask something on the mailing list it tends to twist off on some obscure path. I asked about fitting a camera to a car. I only wanted to know where to put it and what hardware i needed. Now it is in the realmes[C[C of insurance liability. |
| 11:16.47 | dpash | Tarragon: you probably won;t have the problem of saying what is on-topic and what is off topic as people will (hopefully) move it to the other list |
| 11:17.01 | dpash | and people will hopefulyl choose the right list to start with |
| 11:23.04 | highbury | morning |
| 11:25.22 | nasrat | dpash: hmm, unconvinced still |
| 11:29.22 | Tarragon | Just remembered the other unofficial list - "The UsualSuspects" list which is gllug members |
| 11:34.03 | Tarragon | The UsualSuspects list is for Gllug friends to arrange a midweek curry. AFAIK it is a request list. As I am a little far away I obviously do not take the list |
| 11:34.42 | dank_work | Hmm. Curry. |
| 11:35.04 | Tarragon | Volunteers list is for those Gllug members who are willing to give up time to help NGOs (Non Governmental Organisations) install and use Linux |
| 11:35.33 | Tarragon | Linux Cafe list has the idea of forming a Linux cyber cafe in London |
| 11:35.40 | dank_work | What about QUANGOs? |
| 11:36.11 | Tarragon | That would be the gllugadmin list |
| 11:36.44 | dank_work | :) |
| 11:36.55 | nasrat | none of those are really conflicting with the gllug list though. |
| 11:36.58 | highbury | linuxcafe list has had no postings since 30 Jan |

| 18:01.45 | ondem | hiya! I am re-reading the kernel howto after doing my first kernel compile a couple of weeks ago. It seems I have apply a patch to 2.4.20 but for the life of me I can not find the patch on the kernel mirrors |
| 18:02.00 | ondem | the patch should have a March 2003 date but all the kernel related files I found have 2002 dates |
| 18:02.12 | zimm | Huhn: we agree ,, spent all day in a beer garden next to the thames .. ! :) |
| 18:02.16 | Jenson | Huhn: It's summer if you say so :P |
| 18:02.26 | dank_work | ondem: What patch? |
| 18:02.30 | Jenson | zimm: You said you went to lectures |
| 18:02.37 | ondem | it is not summer but still the winter of discontent! |
| 18:02.39 | zimm | Jenson: i did , this morning .. |
| 18:02.40 | Huhn | zimm: spent the afternoon on the balcony, sitting in the sun, drinking beer ;) |

| 18:03.00 | Jenson | I went in the wine/coffee bar for a little while, but i didnt drink |
| 18:03.52 | dank_work | ondem: Go to the 'printer friendly' version, and copy/paste the patch into a file |
| 18:04.04 | Jenson | heya Dan |
| 18:04.09 | dank_work | 'lo |
| 18:04.48 | Jenson | dank_work: You still at work? |
| 18:04.53 | dank_work | yeh |
| 18:04.58 | dank_work | Waiting for a friend to turn up |
| 18:05.13 | Jenson | oh, you going to the pub? |
| 18:05.45 | ondem | copy and paste that patch text to a file, and then use 'patch -p1 < file.txt' from my 2.4.20 kernel directory to apply it?? |
| 18:05.52 | dank_work | Pretty much |
| 18:05.56 | dank_work | should be. |
| 18:06.01 | dank_work | Bloody unreliable people |
| 18:06.41 | ondem | is the *latest* patch the only patch i need to apply to 2.4.20? will that be enough or do i have to apply more patches before applying the latest one? |
| 18:07.25 | dank_work | Patches are not necessarily cumulative |
| 18:08.43 | ondem | so in the end all i need to do is apply *only* the latest patch? |
| 18:09.16 | Jenson | ondem: Apply the patch, and see if it works |
| 18:11.43 | dank_work | Patches are not cumulative |
| 18:12.24 | dank_work | You could just as well be following an -ac tree instead of the Linus tree |
| 18:12.37 | ondem | Jenson: are you using a 2.4.20 kernel you compiled yourself and then applied the latest patch only? "see if it works" does not give me much reasurrance |
| 18:12.57 | Jenson | ondem: Nope, I'm using 2.4.18 and I didnt compile it myself |
| 18:12.58 | dank_work | But 'see if it works' is standard Linux methodology |
| 18:13.03 | Jenson | ty dank_work |
| 18:13.59 | ondem | Patches are not cumulative is something the Kernel Howto does not mention. |
| 18:14.10 | dank_work | Patches tend to be independent of each other |
| 18:14.16 | zimm | the kernel how-to is very old |
| 18:14.18 | dank_work | Linux documentation is, TBH, shit. |
| 18:14.38 | dank_work | Read it. Laugh at it. Then ignore it, and ask someone else. |
| 18:14.52 | Jenson | like you dank_work |
| 18:15.00 | dank_work | I don't need to ask. |
| 18:15.10 | Jenson | dont ask zimm he'll get distracted and do it wrong :P |
| 18:15.16 | dank_work | Probably. |
| 18:15.19 | zimm | oh , thanx j |
| 18:15.23 | Jenson | lol dank_work I meant ask you lol |
| 18:15.27 | Jenson | yw mate |
| 18:15.45 | ondem | so what is the point of reading the Kernel Howto and linux documentation that confuses newbies like me? |
| 18:15.58 | dank_work | So consultants can get lots of money. |
| 18:16.07 | dank_work | Either that, or us geeks need people to talk to :) |
| 18:16.15 | Jenson | dank_work: I'd go with the second |
| 18:16.22 | dank_work | Yeah |
| 18:17.00 | ondem | consultants? i can not afford them. i have a 3 PC network at home |
| 18:18.50 | Jenson | dank_work: You're obsessed with the BSDs |
| 18:18.58 | dank_work | Because they are, at least, good. |

| 22:47.26 | formi | hi omphe |
| 22:48.55 | omphe | tensions seem high in the mailing list these days. |
| 22:49.02 | pdr | murb: i have a room @100 |
| 22:49.26 | pdr | omphe: haven't noticed |
| 22:50.50 | murb | Leeds: well a morgage isn't the same as throwing away money in rent. |
| 22:51.09 | Leeds | murb: exactly my point :-) |
| 22:51.42 | omphe | no, a mortgage means you get to pay when your fridge dies. :( |
| 22:52.06 | Leeds | fridge was thrown in with the flat and it's still working... |
| 22:52.12 | murb | omphe: i don't think i'd ever rent a furished flat. |
| 22:52.22 | formi | omphe: and you have a big stone hanging of your neck |
| 22:52.36 | omphe | anyone want to come around for some mushy ice cream and "aged" milk? |
| 22:52.44 | omphe | fridge packed up last night. |
| 22:52.49 | formi | murb: furished, not me also |
| 22:52.53 | murb | pdr: how much rent do you pay? |
| 22:53.06 | omphe | formi: one man's stone is anothers treasure chest |
| 22:54.04 | Leeds | omphe: exactly |
| 22:54.51 | formi | my point is that you need a relative large ammount of money, just in case you stop being paid for a long time |
| 22:54.58 | omphe | besides, I could never afford to rent a two bedroom split level flat |
| 22:55.18 | omphe | formi: good point. Luckily my other half is employed well these days. |
| 22:55.33 | HuhnPARTY | nn murb |
| 22:55.42 | formi | murb: is not worth it |
| 22:56.02 | pdr | murb: total? |
| 23:00.33 | dankolb | nn murb |
| 23:02.42 | pdr | 2 hours to go |
| 23:04.37 | Leeds | pdr: counting down? :-) |
| 23:08.43 | formi | pdr, you are 12+ years behind |
| 23:09.18 | Leeds | hey, the bastard invaded Kuwait on my birthday - I've never forgiven him... |
| 23:10.03 | formi | Leeds: i fail to see a connection there, |
| 23:11.09 | murb | Leeds: and the liberatino started on my sisters birthday. |
| 23:13.42 | pdr | world peace will start on pdr's birthday. |
| 23:14.07 | Leeds | it'd be a nice gift... |
| 23:15.11 | formi | pdr: do you mean the end of humanity? |
| 23:15.17 | murb | Leeds: not if peace arrives after someone, Bush? has pressed the big red button. |
| 23:15.18 | pdr | but obviously world peace can only be achieved by attacking nations that have weapons |
| 23:16.03 | murb | pdr: I think the existance of humans is incompatible with peace |
| 23:16.09 | pdr | so i hope that the UK will next aim their guns at the USA and their trecherous leader |
| 23:16.26 | murb | I'm sure franch and germany will help :) |
| 23:16.43 | formi | i would join the fun |
| 23:16.44 | murb | pdr: but only to help with the liberation. |
| 23:17.07 | pdr | i'll start by arresting Blair for war crimes |
| 23:17.09 | formi | but as usually the guilty people are well "bunkered" |
| 23:17.27 | formi | pdr: fat chance |
| 23:17.43 | formi | pdr: they didn't manage to get Pinochet |
| 23:17.52 | pdr | i've heard his army is loyal to him, but if i put out enough propoganda, maybe they will turn |
| 23:19.04 | formi | swinging the opinion of most us citizens should be easy, as they lack own minds |
| 23:19.16 | murb | pdr: I thought they were supposed to be loyal to the crown, not the PM! |
| 23:19.35 | pdr | murb: interesting |
| 23:19.49 | pdr | what has the queen said about the pending attack? |
| 23:19.58 | Leeds | pdr: nothing, AFAIK |
| 23:20.20 | pdr | formi: swinging your opinion is easy. Just say the opposite. |
| 23:21.15 | formi | pdr: at least i can work out what is the "opposite" |
| 23:21.36 | pdr | surely the queen has to be against it considering she is head of the C of E |
| 23:21.39 | murb | i suspect they might have a tiny recruitment problem. |
| 23:21.47 | pdr | lol |
| 23:22.02 | murb | pdr: she is also commander in chief. |
| 23:22.19 | formi | pdr: queen lives in a world of their own, just ask her staff about wages |
| 23:22.25 | murb | but the queen is equiv of chancellor or a uni., |
| 23:22.31 | formi | s/their/her |
| 23:22.56 | murb | she survives by grace of parliment. |
| 23:23.25 | pdr | don't know about their wages though |
| 23:23.50 | formi | pdr: if i were english i would mention prison services |
| 23:24.08 | pdr | murb: to get rid of her would require popular opinion which i don't think is there |
| 23:24.19 | pdr | formi: ? |
| 23:24.25 | formi | pdr: or your past folks being on the other side |
| 23:25.41 | formi | pdr: the french were eficient, guillotine, I gues they would be glad to dig one from a museum to lend to the uk |
| 23:25.42 | pdr | take http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/19/1047749827600.html for example |
| 23:26.28 | formi | pdr: i fail to see why people are proud of the places they were borne in, as they had no choice on the matter |
| 23:27.13 | pdr | formi: whether i was born there or not, i'm proud to belong to a culture that subscribes to certain values |
| 23:28.11 | formi | pdr: that is certainly different |
| 23:28.16 | pdr | indeed |
| 23:29.00 | formi | vaia, vaia |
| 23:29.50 | pdr | My favourite quote: One demonstrator brought a big box of doughnuts, which were shared with the cops. |
| 23:31.36 | formi | pdr: that is what they do in the us, 60% of cops are overweight, |
| 23:32.03 | formi | pdr: so you have a higher chance of running and leaving them behind |
| 23:36.53 | murb | no you want thebunker.net for alqudigital hosting. |
