00:20.23TarragonSomething like that :-)
00:20.28Leedshow's things?
00:21.05TarragonDeadline looming so playing on the mac, fighting with Quark. But OK. You?
00:21.40Leedsbeen on holiday - got a telling-off at work before I went for not working hard enough
00:22.19TarragonBad about work but good about holiday. Where did you go?
00:22.28murble.es?
00:22.34LeedsSpain... Gibraltar (airport)... Morocco
00:22.56murbleTarragon: we know, Leeds IRCed on holiday.
00:23.06murbleLeeds: howmany euros a second was that?
00:23.09Leedsonly very briefly, to be fair :-)
00:23.19LeedsI paid about 1.9E for 25 minutes online
00:23.40murbleand get you spend euros in Gibraltar?
00:23.46Leedsnot at all
00:23.48LeedsPounds!
00:24.22Leedsbut I literally was just at Gib airport this time - walked over the border, straight into the airport
00:26.11murbleso you didn't hear about the evil london mapping project?
00:26.35Leedsmapping the evil bits of london?
00:26.41murblethe idea is to create a free map of london.
00:26.50Leedsoh, cool
00:27.13murbleso people are needed to wonder about putting in names of streets, and where they connect.
00:27.22murblethen enter into a web interface.
00:27.37murbleThen points can be anochored by GPS ref.
00:27.53murbleoh and to ask places for their postcodes, note pub names etc.
00:28.18murbleI'm not sure how far the code is at the moment.
00:28.30murbleLeeds: you don't need a GPS to help.
00:28.58murblejust linking up streets and their names. The idea atleast to begin with is to build a graph.
00:29.08murbleof what joins where.

10:41.40TarragonROFL at Dean's reply to Neil Fryer on mailing list
10:42.53dankolbHeh
10:44.50skugggood one. Dean back in form.
10:48.27jason_ukfsnNeil does seem to seriously lack clue. I really don't understand why he feels he should be offering consultancy services
10:48.45dankolbA lot of consultants lack clue too
10:48.55stephencos everyone these days tries to be a consultant
10:52.45skuggwhat annoys me more than Neil lacking a clue is all the people feeding their ego by helping him out, instead of telling him to actually get a fucking clue and not leech favours left right and center from gllug.
10:54.04stephenlooks like I'm missing out by not subscribing to the main GLLUG list ...

19:34.08skuggJD, the former
19:34.20skuggminority report is not very good, imo
19:34.27skuggnot seen the former though
19:34.30JDthat is what I was thinking
19:34.50JDskugg: there are a lot worse films
19:35.01JDLeeds: I don't think it was meant to be a mistake
19:35.09LeedsI did enjoy MR...
19:35.19skuggdunno if it's because i dislike tom cruise, or if it's because he generally plays in films i don't like though...
19:35.20JDI think they did it on purpose so you could see is face in the car window in one scene
19:35.38JDskugg: it is a phillip k dick film so it can't be that bad
19:35.55skuggJD, what is? the former or the latter?
19:36.29JDskugg: minority report
19:36.37skuggminority report did have some cleverness in it, but ...
19:36.52Leedsb4c certainly isn't Phillip K Dick :-)
19:36.55skuggi think i'm probably biased because i don't like tom cruise

22:17.31Leedshe's not in the film
22:17.46JD?

22:20.46Leedsthe TiVo description of the show doesn't mention a girl
22:20.59JDnor the sky one
22:21.09armijnbut then again, making 150 pictures on one day, with display on all time, zooming, viewing, etc. does stress the batteries probably :D
22:21.27Leedsthe batteries on mine are okay - it's the screen which kills it, anyway
22:21.31JDdownload them and use convert :)

22:25.08JDgrrr 404
22:25.09Leedsarmijn: should do... see gphoto for possibly more control over the camera than just file transfer
22:25.33armijnleeds: but taking out CF and putting them in the reader is easy as well
22:25.38JDthe coral have no females that I am aware of
22:25.47Leedsarmijn: absolutely - and the iPAQ works great for that :-)
22:25.54armijnleeds: but you say it's the screen that takes up most of the battery?
22:26.02Leedsarmijn: yeah...
22:26.14LeedsJD:  Jane Goldman... (my mum's maiden name being Goldman)

22:28.00armijn(or iPaq H91something, not sure)
22:28.00Leedsarmijn: 1900 isn't really working yet, AFAIK - but it's being worked on
22:28.20armijnleeds: but that series is way cheaper than the rest
22:28.46Leedsarmijn: which is one of the reasons it's not supported yet - it's been harder than expected to bootstrap it
22:29.19armijnhmm, mr McNealy in Rotterdam monday, but no time to go see him :(
22:29.24armijnlet alone interview him
22:29.50Leedsarmijn: http://www.handhelds.org/projects/h1900.html - the developer isn't around right now, but he's on IRC a lot
22:30.06LeedsJD: I like red... but it's a bit overdone
22:30.53JDLeeds: I was talking to someone last night about the mini-itx boxes and how they can boot from nearly everything
22:31.02JDincluding USB mass storage
22:31.24JDthe camera I want is seen by the OS as a USB mass storage device :)
22:31.25Leedsoh, sure...  my favourite is booting from CF with an IDE->CF adapter
22:31.31JDare you thinking what I'm thinking
22:31.38Leedsbooting from a camera :-)  very cool...

22:35.55armijnheh gibraltar
22:36.01armijnnever been that far south
22:36.15armijntoo many british on the beaches as well ;-)
22:36.16Leedsmy parents have (half) a flat down there
22:37.36armijnbeen hacking on RPMs (and related stuff) two days long
22:38.04LeedsI'm sorry for you...
22:38.21armijnwell, the thing is, if you try to build RPMs on SuSE and Red Hat it can be really different...
22:38.41armijnas in, if you use "rpm -ta <tarball-with-specfile>" Red Hat goes fine (well, uses rpmbuild instead of rpm)
22:38.52armijnbut if you've got other specfiles in subdirs SuSE barfs
22:40.27armijnit's like Java
22:40.32armijn"write once, test everywhere"
22:40.39Leedsheh
22:40.52JDwhich is one of the advantages of debs
22:41.01JDwrite once, use once
22:41.13armijnJD: so will Debian RPMs work on Lindows?
22:41.16armijnehr
22:41.16armijndebs
22:41.17armijnsorry
22:41.22JDyes
22:41.29Leedsdebian RPMs :-)  heh
22:41.40JDyou can take lindows, add a debian source and they upgrade to debian
22:42.36armijnwell, I dislike binary packages anyway...
22:42.44armijndebs also have disadvantages
22:42.49JDarmijn: so does Leeds
22:42.54armijnas in, dependence on the packager...
22:43.05JDnot really
22:43.07LeedsJD: I have disadvantages?
22:43.21JDyou can do non-maintainer uploads
22:43.29armijnand all of a sudden you get texinfo and emacs bindings everywhere, and warnings that other stuff is non-free blah blah blah
22:44.00JDnot sure I understand
22:44.09armijnI dislike Debian.
22:44.13Leedsarmijn: yay! :-)
22:44.42armijnbecause as soon as you even hint on that something in Debian might be not be that good, Debian people become very defensive
22:44.46JDarmijn: each to their own
22:44.47armijnseen that countless of times
22:45.10JDof course
22:45.22JDno one like to be told that they chose a dud
22:45.32LeedsJD: you chose a dud
22:45.35armijnI mean, when I ask somewhere on what the best way to do something and I get the answer "apt-get install <blah>"
22:45.42JDLeeds: I would think otherwise
22:45.49armijneven though they know I'm working on Solaris or FreeBSD, it gets very annoying
22:46.27JDwell in that case cd /usr/src/port/blah && make install
22:46.38LeedsJD: on Solaris?
22:46.43armijnno no, portinstall, way nicer :)
22:46.51JDLeeds: pgkadd blah
22:47.02Leedsand where do you get the packages from?
22:47.04JDor what ever it is on solaris
22:47.15JDmy butt
