14:03.52 | jason_ukfsn | One big plus for me is that while being forced to enter all the last 18 months accounts in again I discovered a cheque that I sent to the bank in May had not arrived in my account which was over £1K short. |
14:04.25 | jason_ukfsn | gnucash is not perfect but there doesn't seem to be anything better available and I cannot be bothered to write one myself. |
14:04.53 | zachary | looking at switching my books over to linux. But I need a good equity system for mutual funds. MS Money 2001 scewed all my accounts up. |
14:05.38 | jason_ukfsn | Well gnucash claims to have some equities support however it's an area I know nothing about so I cannot comment |
14:06.18 | dpash | zachary: probably offer |
14:07.22 | zachary | dpash: We can always use speakers at either of the regular meetings or install-fests. |

14:19.23 | zachary | jason_ukfsn: kmymoney2 is on sourceforge |

14:37.08 | dpash | nah, but I may make it to borders |
14:38.17 | jason_ukfsn | note that next week the march starts from Victoria not Gower St so I was planning to meet in some other location nearer to there. |
14:38.20 | formi | why do I have the impression that techies are all mouth, and no action when it comes down to real-world issues? |
14:38.45 | formi | jason_ukfsn: i will be starting from euston no matter what |

14:40.34 | formi | anyway victoria to where? It looks like a very short march |
14:40.35 | dpash | highbury: maybe not quite as fast, but still pretty quick |
14:40.55 | jason_ukfsn | victoria to Hyde Park. |
14:41.40 | jason_ukfsn | It looks like a slightly shorter walk which may mean more people getting to the park for more of the rally. |
14:41.56 | formi | what about the next, hyde park to hyde park |
14:42.07 | highbury | I don't have one at all at the moment, so its nice to plan for what I want |
14:42.17 | jason_ukfsn | also going from victoria may be more disruptive - the same for the route from Waterloo |
14:42.35 | formi | jason_ukfsn: it looks like many people will not march, just turn up at the park |
14:42.48 | jason_ukfsn | perhaps although that did not happen last time |

16:30.00 | dpash | so you can expeience this smell |
16:30.51 | Tarragon | Thanks, but I really don't think you need to do that. |
16:34.28 | Tarragon | I could imaging the scene. "Here, quick sniff this grey powder""Ewwh""'Allo, 'Allo, 'Allo. Evening all gentlemen, what do we have here?" |
16:35.41 | Huhn | :) |
16:36.05 | nasrat | s/grey/white/ |
16:36.32 | nasrat | ibot lart muppet employers |
16:39.31 | nasrat | ok can I take vote whether I resign right now or not? |
16:40.47 | Tarragon | resign as what? |
16:41.09 | Tarragon | Oh work you mean |
16:41.47 | Tarragon | Well it has gone payday... |
16:42.05 | nasrat | sorry not in a good mood |
16:43.22 | dpash | any particular reason? |
16:43.33 | dpash | not due to smelly computers? |
16:46.05 | nasrat | dpash: lots of redundancies, just got a letter saying paycuts, upto 90 sms's a night due to bloaty java app |
16:46.58 | nasrat | dpash: muppet isp |
16:47.27 | nasrat | dpash: no, they are noat http://www.dti.gov.uk/cgi-bin/betsie/parser.pl/www.dti.gov.uk/er/pay/contracts-pl810b.htm#2 |
16:48.58 | nasrat | pissed off and pissed may actually reprint my resignation letter |
17:06.53 | dpash | hmmm I don't think that would apply in nasrats' case because it talks about deductions, rather than a pay cut |
17:10.08 | Tarragon | Would have still thought it would have counted as a variation of contract on unfavourable terms |
17:11.05 | dpash | yeah |
17:20.10 | dpash | hmm 129 extra females in my district council area |
17:20.33 | dpash | now if only I could find them |

20:38.15 | resuDaed | evening all |
20:39.09 | Huhn | hi resuDaed |
20:59.50 | resuDaed | Huhn : would you know how to send a man page to std as pure text (ie no formatting) |
20:59.59 | resuDaed | s/std/stdout |
21:00.23 | Huhn | resuDaed: sorry.. not sure.. |
21:01.46 | resuDaed | output as html, read through lynx and save as a text file :-) |
21:02.17 | Huhn | lynx has an option --dump to produce text |
21:03.22 | resuDaed | cool, thanks |
21:04.13 | Huhn | I normally do: lynx --dump h.html > h.txt |
21:08.52 | murb | what is wrong with nroff -man ? |
21:09.34 | Huhn | murb: nothing, thanks, that was the command missing.. |
21:11.13 | murb | you probably still have to tell grotty not to put in backspaces and high lighting as well. |
21:15.31 | resuDaed | murb, for some reason, I dont think my kernel has detected my lpt ... in the kernel config it is modular ... a) is the correct module likley to have been loaded @ boot time b) if not, what module would it be? |
21:15.40 | resuDaed | (or Huhn or anyone else) |
21:16.24 | resuDaed | attempting to do anything with /dev/lp[0-2] returns no device |
21:25.28 | murb | what does dmesg say about printers, do you have ||printer support in your kernel, have you got the lp module loaded, is your printer on fire? |
21:27.28 | resuDaed | have modprobe parport (a guess), dmesg returned parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] ; parport0: irq 7 detected |
21:27.40 | resuDaed | don't have module 'lp' |
21:28.53 | resuDaed | Parallel port is 'modular' in kernel config |
21:29.20 | resuDaed | printer is not on fire, and is online |
21:29.38 | murb | you don't have lp0 mentioned anywhere in the klog? |
21:29.50 | resuDaed | klog = dmesg? |
21:29.55 | resuDaed | (then no) |
21:30.02 | murb | hmm |
21:30.06 | murb | did you build the kernel yourself? |
21:30.14 | resuDaed | eye69 did IIRC |
21:31.43 | murb | do you have the config-blah file for that kernel? |
21:31.52 | murb | and is CONFIG_PRINTER= set? |
21:32.06 | eye69 | DOH |
21:32.16 | eye69 | I might've missed including printer support. |
21:32.39 | resuDaed | is printer support more than just the parallel port support? |
21:32.59 | eye69 | Yes, it's in the Character support section |
21:33.22 | resuDaed | ah, would a make menuconfig bring up the previous config you used? |
21:33.43 | eye69 | Yes |
21:35.38 | resuDaed | ok, have added to config (included), so would make bzImage be enough? |
21:35.59 | resuDaed | or should make modular and just make modules? |
21:36.16 | eye69 | Make it modular. |
21:36.40 | resuDaed | then just make modules? |
21:37.18 | resuDaed | make dep && make modules ? |
21:37.37 | eye69 | 'make dep modules modules_install' |
21:39.50 | resuDaed | then? |
21:41.41 | resuDaed | then works :-) thanks |
21:44.46 | zachary | good night |
