| 08:16.03 | Tarragon | Hi JD |
| 08:24.40 | JD | Tarragon: why did you leave on Saturday night? |
| 08:24.59 | JD | didn't have chance to say goodbye |
| 08:25.46 | Tarragon | I had a funeral to attend on the Sunday |
| 08:26.06 | Tarragon | Sorry my fault. I should have said goodbye |
| 08:26.47 | JD | ah okay |
| 08:27.24 | JD | was much much quicker |
| 08:27.38 | Tarragon | How long? |
| 08:27.47 | JD | 6h30m |
| 08:27.59 | JD | instead of 8h |
| 08:28.50 | JD | we got caught just north of birmingham for about 15min and about the same between J17-J16 on the M1 |
| 08:29.21 | Tarragon | That's still very good. |
| 08:29.25 | JD | but it took us 2 hours to get down to preston instead of the 4 hours it took from ripon |
| 08:29.49 | JD | did 90 most of the way |
| 08:30.14 | JD | km/h 'onest gov |
| 08:30.18 | Tarragon | I did 70 and took 2 hours to England |
| 08:30.35 | JD | A702->M74->M6? |
| 08:30.44 | Tarragon | Yes |
| 08:30.59 | JD | much nicer than M1->A1->A68 |
| 08:31.15 | Tarragon | It was dark so the A702 was only at 50 and not 60 |
| 08:32.50 | JD | we got caught behind a slow car for part of the way |
| 08:34.08 | Tarragon | What did John Hearns talk about? |
| 08:35.04 | JD | mini-itx |
| 08:35.19 | JD | small cases |
| 08:35.27 | JD | computers in cars |

| 08:36.04 | JD | apparently much better than his practice talk |
| 08:36.07 | Tarragon | in a 3.5" bay? |
| 08:36.14 | JD | apparently so |

| 11:11.39 | nasrat | hi jason_ukfsn |
| 11:13.51 | SpudULike | What is the state of play with recent Linux distros, like SuSE 8.2, and domestic ADSL offerings like that from BT. If I do a SuSE install in someone's house who has BT ADSL, is the installation likely to set up the Internet connection properly? I've never had the need to play with ADSL so I just don't know what's involved. |
| 11:14.17 | nasrat | SpudULike: use the speedtouch.sf.net drivers for a speedtouch modem |
| 11:14.37 | nasrat | SpudULike: or better still get a real adsl router so it's just ethernet/ip |
| 11:14.57 | jason_ukfsn | SpudULike: if you are using the USB devices you'll need the correct drivers which you usually have to download separately due to copyright issues. |
| 11:15.06 | jason_ukfsn | If you are using ethernet (ie with a router) it just works. |
| 11:15.23 | jason_ukfsn | Of course you should be recommending UKFSN for ADSL ;) |
| 11:16.26 | jason_ukfsn | Has anyone else here registered for the London MOB thing? |
| 11:16.44 | SpudULike | For new customers, Jason, I wouldn't dream of anyone else! I'm thinking of some existing ADSL users who I might just persuade to try a Linux distro. If it involves them buying a router then this would be unlikely to happen. |
| 11:16.54 | nasrat | jason_ukfsn: what's that |
| 11:17.52 | jason_ukfsn | nasrat: you may have read on Slashdot about a couple of "mob events" in the US. See http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/25/0146250&mode=thread&tid=133&tid=186 |
| 11:18.02 | jason_ukfsn | Silly fun. |
| 11:18.53 | jason_ukfsn | SpudULike: Most of the USB devices are supported. Certainly the Speedtouch "Frogs" BT gave out are - indeed there are at least two drivers for them - one is userspace the other kernel-land. |
| 11:19.48 | SpudULike | So an 'out-of-the-box' Linux install should be set-up automatically? |
| 11:20.18 | SpudULike | With 'minimal' prompting, at least. |
| 11:21.08 | jason_ukfsn | You may have to bring a copy of the firmware update but yes with minimal prompting a recent distro should work. |
| 11:22.05 | SpudULike | This 'flash mob' stuff. Isn't that just a bit like pointing up into the sky, looking intensively at 'something' and, once the crowd have gathered to also point, wandering off to have a good laugh? |
| 11:22.50 | Tarragon | Or forming a spontaneous queue? |
| 11:23.26 | jason_ukfsn | Yes except that you do it with a fairly large crowd from the outset. I like the idea a lot - so long as you leave a lot of seriously confused people behind you. |
| 11:23.49 | jason_ukfsn | It's a lot like some of the experiments I wanted to try when I studied psychology many years ago. |
| 11:24.33 | jason_ukfsn | It seems to me that it's something that would appeal to the hacker/cracker spirit - pure social engineering. |
| 11:25.36 | nasrat | SpudULike: I think some distros have a auto downloader - mandrake springs to mind, but I'm not 100% sure |
| 11:27.14 | SpudULike | Flash mob in Soho on the 7th. |
| 11:29.22 | jason_ukfsn | Yes I know. I'm on the mailing list and very much looking forward to it. Anyone else intending to come along and join me - and have a few drinks as well? |
| 11:34.25 | jason_ukfsn | I'm kind of tempted to do something to hack the mod event itself. |

| 11:35.11 | Tarragon | Afternoon RegularO |
| 11:35.22 | RegularO | Hello. |
| 11:38.02 | SpudULike | jason_ukfsn: Very tempted to turn up on the 7th. I've only just subscribed so I will have to wait for fuller details until I can confirm a yes or no. "Hack the mob" sounds like fun, but what worries me is others hacking such an event with malicious intent an spoiling it for all. |
| 11:38.27 | zachary | SpudULike: The only problem with bt's offerings(home user) is the microcode for the Speedtouch USB modem is proprietary(sp). Even with Smoothwall, the microcode must be uploaded seperately. |
| 11:39.22 | jason_ukfsn | yes there is a risk of that which is probably the reason for the secrecy around it. That said the nature of the event is such that it lasts for a very short time - a maximum of 10 minutes for this one. |
| 11:39.49 | jason_ukfsn | That makes hijacking it with malicious intent a bit pointless as everyone just walks away by the time you get your malice underway. |
| 11:40.21 | jason_ukfsn | Hacking it to do something silly other than the organisers intend could be done though and so long as it's not obviously malicious should work |
| 11:40.29 | SpudULike | zachary: If this is done automatically, like how the nVidia drivers are loaded, then this would be alright. How does the install get the drivers though, can it still use the ADSL or have these got to be supplied on a floppy or some-such? |
| 11:40.36 | jason_ukfsn | The challenge is to think up an idea you can pull off in the area. |
| 11:42.17 | SpudULike | Everyone to set their mobile phone alarms to go off at the same time. And for everyone to be in a deep tunnel tube train. |
| 11:43.04 | jason_ukfsn | SpudULike: not too bad although that would require a lot more planning and would limit your numbers a bit. |
| 11:43.12 | SpudULike | Depends how many people you have |
| 11:43.22 | SpudULike | Err, yeah, what he said. |
| 11:43.26 | SpudULike | ;-) |
| 11:45.24 | jason_ukfsn | Given that it's in Soho they could do an impromptu autograph signing - if enough people are getting autographs from someone nobody recognises outside one of the big theatres or cinemas how long before others think there is a major star there? |
| 11:46.20 | SpudULike | Or everyone just asks everyone else around them for autographs. This would drag in people not part of the 'flash mob' |
| 11:47.27 | jason_ukfsn | yes but it's too obviously not "real". Having a single person (or a small number of people) at the centre of a large crowd would lead those not involved to think it was real. Then you just disperse leaving lots of people feeling rather silly - hopefully. |

| 11:57.00 | SpudULike | That would only bother the person opening the doors. |
| 11:57.19 | jason_ukfsn | or queue outside a large cinema/theatre facing away from it and just sort of shuffle to a point in the middle an open sq (like Leicester Sq) before walking away. |
| 11:57.31 | jason_ukfsn | Not if our queue is clearly separate. |
| 11:59.43 | SpudULike | Is the square still open. Everyone turns up to form a circle around the statue (is is Shakespeare?), walk around it once and everyone then goes their separate ways. |

| 19:37.46 | cupis | stephanb: I'm still waiting for the question... |
| 19:38.40 | cupis | stephanb: at least your question is on-topic for this channel, unlike much of what used to go on here. |
| 19:39.07 | stephanb | what would make a script show at boot with [OK] and not work, whereas typing "/etc/init.d/myscript start" does work ? |
| 19:39.26 | Leeds | domestic |
| 19:39.27 | cupis | stephanb: what return value does the script give? |
| 19:40.49 | Leeds | stephanb: run with -x? |
| 19:41.24 | stephanb | ok, 2mins, gotta swich monitors (other machine) |
| 19:51.09 | stephanb | k |
| 19:51.37 | stephanb | i think i sussed it, the other script i was calling wasn't exiting properly |
| 19:52.23 | stephanb | btw, what is the equivalent of run -x under bash ? (i use echo $?) |
| 19:53.12 | Leeds | I don't know what run -x does |
| 19:54.03 | cupis | stephanb: #! /bin/bash -x ? |
| 19:55.37 | stephanb | call me a dork |
| 19:55.47 | cupis | stephanb: you are a dork. |
| 19:55.58 | zachary | stephanb: dork |
| 19:56.07 | cupis | ah, another person! |
| 19:57.36 | zachary | stephanb: don't worry, I'm completely illittterate: Bash, Pearl, English... |
