14:05.02gregj300 ? 400 ?
14:05.07gregji dunno
14:06.16gregjover network, no tapes and no DVDs unfortunatelly

14:07.49gregjgood, nie mialem sumienia - but if you say so :D
14:10.12gregjWethrin: what would you use for that ?
14:10.26gregjit has to be HD backup to another HD, on another computer
14:10.53gregjso i thougth about simple cpio |nc and on server side inetd, and cat >file`date`.extension
14:10.54Wethrintar and netcat?
14:11.03gregjit has to be schledued
14:11.12Leedstar, netcat and cron :-)

14:11.37Wethrincpio is weird :)
14:11.41gregji can feed cpio with dir names and file names
14:11.45gregjcpio is yummy
14:12.15WethrinWhat's a regexp to match a TAB character?

14:25.55gregjpax ?
14:26.01Leedspax
14:26.06Leedsman :-)
14:26.12gregjwhat is that ?
14:26.24WethrinPortable Archive eXchange, or somesuch
14:26.29Leedspax is the POSIX archive tool
14:27.46Leedsaccording to the Solaris man page, it's interchange... because we all know that x stands for interchange, right?
14:28.30WethrinYes. It's obvious.
14:29.29ClyphoxMoo
14:29.57Leedswho let the cow in? Moo, moo moo... who let the cow in?
14:30.37ClyphoxI use pax sometime btw
14:31.02LeedsClyphox: then you're a weirdo, if you don't mind me saying so
14:31.05Clyphoxused it to rescue my netbsd server once when I accidentally erased /use
14:31.22Leedsthen you're a weirdo and a fool :-)
14:31.37Clyphoxwell I only use it out of interest.. I've no idea why people bother with it tbh
14:32.11ClyphoxHey everyone rm -rf's their /usr at least once :-P
14:32.11Leedsapt-cachce: command not found
14:32.24LeedsClyphox: closest I've got to that is breaking libc :-)
14:32.43Clyphoxcool
14:33.12murbtry rm -rf / # sarch pax then
14:35.17eye69Anyone know of an operator that has a campaign with cheap T610's? I know O2 sells them for 50 quid with contract.
14:36.12WethrinCarphone Whorehouse phoned me up earlier today and offered me a T610 for £20
14:36.20Wethrin(keeping my existing Orange contract)
14:36.22eye69Ahh, nice.
14:36.31eye69I'm on Orange pay-as-you-go currently.
14:36.43eye69Have recently fried the charger input on my 6310 (don't ask).
14:37.18WethrinMm. Thing is, I do still quite like my 6310.
14:37.27LeedsWethrin: I paid slightly more than that, but only slightly, and it was a few months ago
14:37.32WethrinBut I'm starting to suffer from shiny-things syndrome a bit
14:37.52eye69Wethrin: Yes, it's a nice phone, but fixing it ould probably be more expensive than getting a new phone.
14:38.21eye69http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/show/offer/free_phones
14:38.22WethrinProbably.
14:39.45eye69I'll go into the Orange shop by Liverpool St on my way home from work.
14:48.20WethrinOkay.

15:07.46eye69Well, that's what they said.
15:07.54eye69Might be getting a new phone today then.
15:16.34TarragonVirgin  took three weeks to move my old number. Still they gave me £100 in calls
15:17.03LeedsTarragon: leaves on the line, I expect
15:17.38Xiaoqilol
15:21.11eye69Although, they will probably try to charge me like 150 quid in deposit because I'm not british.

18:16.57Jensongrr why cant i connect to MSN with GAIM when other GAIM users can
18:20.49Leedsbecause you might need to have certain security packages installed in order to get full support
18:21.01stephenJenson: latest gaim doesn't support the new MSN protocol
18:21.37Leedsstephen: yeah, it should
18:22.08Jensonyeh, well i havent upgraded, it just stopped working 2 days ago, but my windoes version and Clyphox's version still work
18:22.59stephenhmm, anyway, I've switched to amsn for the time being.  However if the latest gaim works, I'll go back to that cos I dislike amsn
18:23.40Jensonwhy have i managed to sign up for the CPGB stuff 3 times, i really need to remember what ive signed upo for lol
18:27.18Jensonwhat does averyone think of all this gay Bibishop fuss?
18:27.33Jensonerm Bishop even
18:27.36Jensonbloody lag
18:32.01stephenI believe it's wrong to change, just because society has changed and demands that you change
18:34.34Jensonand i believe gay ppl are the same as anyone else
18:38.28stephenindeed, imho Christians should be accepting of gay people as they are of any other people, however since what they are doing is, according to the bible, a sin, they shouldn't be put into positions of leadership
18:55.48ClyphoxI accept gay ppl. I just don't want my minister promoting it.
18:57.07Clyphoxon the other hand I think individual communities should have the right to choose. not people in a room far far away
19:00.03JensonClyphox: i dont think you can promote gyaness, people dont choose to be gay
19:01.13ClyphoxWell its not so much the promotion of it I dislike, just the church trend saying its ok.
19:02.11ClyphoxJenson: got your gaim going?
19:02.11Jensonwell its ok as far as im concerned, but then again, i am not religious
19:02.25JensonClyphox: no lol, i just d/led the new version, will compile it olater
19:02.35Clyphox*cough* gentoo
19:04.06ClyphoxVariety is the spice of life
19:04.30Clyphoxalthough I appreciate old fashionism
19:04.55Clyphox:-P
19:05.17Jensoni would switch to mdk, but when i installed it on costas machine i got confused by the GUI installer
19:05.35Clyphoxthat installer is the only thing I've ever liked about it.
19:05.43Clyphoxwish gentoo had a decent installer
19:06.00Jensoni like the Slack installer
19:06.03Jensonand the Debian one
19:06.12Jensonthe mdk is the only other one ive seen
19:06.17ClyphoxI wish there was a generic installer that would simply partition/format/extract and run some make files hehe
19:06.24ClyphoxAhh you've not lived
19:06.54JensonClyphox: when I've found the right man then I'll find the right linux distro, and im not making an effort with either ATM
19:07.18Clyphoxyou should at least see the Corel linux install hehe
19:07.44ClyphoxI like experimenting :-)
19:08.01Jensongrrrr my blister is irritating.....its itching, never bite skin off blisters
19:08.14Clyphoxok
19:08.43Leedstetris...
19:08.48Jensoni got it sharpeneing pencils yesterday lol
19:14.09Jensonfsck me, i dont even have that much free disc space lol
19:14.17ClyphoxLeeds: what version of tetris is THAT!!!!??
19:14.27LeedsI have 64Gb free, at least
19:14.43LeedsClyphox: I think I was thinking of Caldera, anyway... tetris in the installer :-)
19:14.59Jensoni have a 20GB disc, which is a dual install
19:15.46LeedsI have over 200Gb of data disk (separate from system disk) in one of my machines
19:16.07ClyphoxLeeds: ohh yeah I remember.. mandrake had something similar at some point
19:16.40Jensonyeh and ive got a dodgy HDD and i cant backup linux stuff coz i havent got my burner working
19:16.49Jensonwell my burner is on my bedroom floor aTM actually
19:16.52eye69One of the replacements for dselect in Debian had/have that.
19:17.50Leedsthey are the same kind of price now as CD writers were when I first bought one
19:17.59Clyphoxhehe
19:18.07Clyphoxyeah even I could buy one
19:19.10Jensoni think our cd burner was £99 when we got it
19:19.15LeedsJenson: same here
