00:31.48formii always use demon
00:32.03murbleyou're a demon customer?
00:32.06forminope
00:32.24murbleI just rember 158.152.1.65 is useful
00:32.36LeedsI tend to use time.apple.com :-)
00:32.46murbletry finger time.apple.com@158.152.1.65
00:32.56formimurble: at least im not a spammer
00:33.02murbleLeeds: how are you finding new toy?
00:33.18murbleformi: like you admit to being one :)
00:33.23murble'd
00:33.35Leedsmurble: still getting used to it - getting stuff I want installed and so on, and I'm waiting for Panther before really jumping in
00:34.00murbleLeeds: have you got X11 in macosX working yet?
00:34.00formiwhat? heresy!!
00:34.08murbleformi: you'd it should have said.
00:34.29formimurble: des-murble that sentence!
00:34.31murbleand the :) implied i wasn't being entirly serious.
00:34.36LeedsI have the XF86 one installed, but not quite worked out how to use it properly - I'm planning to use the Panther-default version instead
00:34.53murbleLeeds: oh do they include an X by default now?
00:35.10Leedsyes - one of the significant new things in Panther
00:35.11murbleI think the G4 iBook ships with Panther by default.
00:35.17murbleoh cool.
00:35.24murbleI didn't see that in any of the reviews.
00:35.34Leedshmm... BBC news page is wrong
00:35.38murbleLeeds: and will you be able to fix the keyboard maps?
00:35.41LeedsI think
00:35.43Leedsmurble: huh?
00:36.27Leedsif the clocks haven't changed yet, BBC News is wrong...
00:36.48LeedsBBC continuity just announced it correctly though :-)
00:37.04formiwhat next? first the trains. then the tube, now the bbc
00:37.56murbleLeeds: the BBC are correct
00:38.04murblesinc ehtey specify GMT
00:38.26Leedsthey specific both "GMT" and "UK" and they are currently saying they are the same
00:38.35murbleLeeds: sorry i mean in MacOS
00:38.45murblewith their UK keyboard not being
00:38.51Leedsnot being what?
00:38.55murbleas in has @ and " in the wrong place for a start.
00:39.15murblecan you trivially remap them?
00:39.52LeedsI think there is a mapping tool
00:40.48Leedsmy keyboard has @ on 2, which I'm used to, since I use a US keyboard at work, and a US happy hacking keyboard on my PC

09:26.46WethrinMorning
09:26.55JDhi Dan
09:27.29WethrinHm. My Powerbook's time is still correct. It automatically adjusted for GMT
09:28.21WethrinWhy am I on IRC, and not still asleep?
09:30.08JDonly you know that answer
09:30.16JDfor me it is because I am addicted to irc
09:31.49Wethrin:)
09:32.02WethrinGrrr. 5 spams overnight which weren't caught by Spamassassin
09:32.14JDonly 5?
09:32.17JDlucky man
09:32.31Wethrin<PROTECTED>
09:32.34JDI had nearer 10
09:32.58WethrinIs it me, or is SA getting less effective?
09:33.15JDof course it is getting less effective
09:33.19JDdo you not read LWN?
09:33.28WethrinNo
09:33.32JDspammers aren't stupid
09:33.36JDWethrin: you should
09:33.40JDgood read
09:33.46WethrinThat's even more stuff to read :)
09:33.57JDmakes Thursdays worth getting up for
09:34.01WethrinNo, they just target stupid people
09:34.33JDSA is like virus scanners
09:34.40WethrinAnd they're fundamentally evil people who should have both hands cut off. And their tongue cut out so they can't use a speech input
09:34.46JDyou need to upgrade daily
09:34.58WethrinUrgh.
09:35.04JDWethrin: it's agood thing I know you are joking
09:35.14Wethrin:)
09:36.45JDcan anyone tell me what is wrong with http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/10/21/1730244
09:37.38WethrinModular? MODULAR?!
09:37.45WethrinI'll thank you for a microkernel, dear sir.
09:38.14WethrinOh, erm. Maybe I'll read the article first :)
09:38.30WethrinEven
09:38.31Wethrinthough Linux has a monolithic kernel it has still been successfully ported to more platforms than any other operating systems.
09:38.37WethrinBzzt. Wrong. NetBSD.
09:39.56JDimho there is only 11ish worth noting
09:40.11JDif it doesn;t run debian, it isn;t a port :)
09:40.29WethrinHeh
09:40.44Wethrin11 NetBSD, or 11 Linux platforms?
09:40.56JDdoes it matter?
09:41.09JD09:40 < JD> if it doesn;t run debian, it isn;t a port :)
09:42.41WethrinAnd seeing as Debian NetBSD exists, then by your standards any NetBSD ports are true ports
09:42.55JDWethrin: my point is that it is worthless if the kernel runs on some obscure processor
09:43.14JDwithout a sensible userspace to go with it there is no point using it
09:43.31JDWethrin: well that was sort of my point too
09:43.44JDbut there is only a i386 port of debian NetBSD
09:43.53WethrinThe point with NetBSD is that when it makes it into the main release tree, then all the userspace works
09:44.16JDwell it will require a complete new set of buildds
09:44.19WethrinSo it is usable
09:44.33WethrinWell, yes, you couldn't really get away from that
09:45.09WethrinBzzt. Don't you mean the GNU userspace? :)
09:45.13JDno
09:47.32WethrinHave they changed it much, then?
09:47.52JDdebian includes more than just gnu software
09:48.06WethrinEven in the base install?
09:48.07JDa significant amount more
09:48.28JDgnu possibly makes up about 50% of base
09:48.34WethrinHm
09:48.44WethrinGah. I've been binged that my battery is running out
09:48.50JDbut debian is not useable with just base
09:48.56JDgo get power then
09:49.07WethrinThis requires me getting out of bed
09:49.40JD"My local public library no longer has a sign labeled "Library". Instead, a silhouette of a person reading a book indicates that the library is near. That's so non-literate people looking for the library will know they're getting warmer. "
09:49.58WethrinArgh! Brainhurt! :)
09:50.09WethrinRight. Time to get up, shower, breakfast, then back on IRC
09:50.19JDexactly
09:50.21WethrinSee you in ~ 30 mins
09:50.25JDbah
09:50.56WethrinOr maybe I'll just bring the power cord here
09:51.46WethrinDone that
09:52.09JDgood man
09:52.23JDwhy boter with all that silly eating stuff
09:52.34WethrinHunger strikes
09:52.47WethrinAnd dog will need to be walking in about 1.5 hours
09:53.10JDjust kick it out the door and let it do it's stuff
09:53.23WethrinHeh. He needs a bit more than that
09:53.36JDtie him to a passing car?
09:55.06Wethrin*thwap*
10:07.08WethrinHo hum
10:11.19WethrinGuten morgen
10:14.00murblewell said 486 has got as far as linking ncurses
10:14.38JDslow is it?
10:14.41WethrinThat's not so bad
10:14.58WethrinAt least it hasn't broken 10 minutes after you went to sleep
10:16.33WethrinUsing an editor and a compiler
10:18.48WethrinOr was that not quite what you meant?
10:21.52JDwell it must take them years to compile stuff
10:21.56JDI mean look at X
10:22.16JDI'm sure it used to take me 8 hours + a few years ago
10:22.17WethrinThey just took their time
10:22.31WethrinAnd software tended to me smaller then, too.
10:22.52WethrinLook at the difference in size between Linux 1.2.* and 2.4/2.6
10:22.53JDgentoo-m68k anyone?
10:23.02Wethringentoo-vax
10:25.13Wethrin:)
10:25.18WethrinGet a ticket. It'll help.
10:26.08JDyes this had occured to me
10:26.46JDbut I would be too tempted to buy a ticket with 1,2,3,4,5,6 on it
10:27.09JDand then I remember what a complete waste of money it is
10:27.33murbleJD: I certainlly used to build things such as X11 on my 486
10:46.25murbleWethrin: which train did i have to catch?
10:47.11murbleJD: they're not doing combined Oaster/Lotterie National tickets yet?
10:47.17Wethrin1317 from Wycombe
10:47.25murblecool, i've got plenty of time.
10:47.32WethrinYep
10:47.42murblehave to send it to someone about a job in Cork.
10:47.51WethrinUrg. That reminds me to do stuff
10:48.10WethrinRight. I think get up, shower, have breakfast, walk dog, then head to station
10:48.59murbleso i don't have to leave til 1300
10:49.02eye69Wethrin: Laptops make it very easy to stay in bed. :)
10:49.07Wethrineye69: Yes.
10:49.24Wethrinmurble: Is it that quick for you to get to the station?
10:49.27murbleI hurt my neck doing bed irc, so i have given it up.
10:49.41murbleWethrin: If i leave at that time.
10:49.48eye69Morning greg
10:49.48WethrinOkay. That's not bad, then
10:49.49murblerather than just start getting ready then.
10:50.02gregjmorgen
10:50.05Wethrinmurble: It's okay if you do it occasionally. Doing it all the time might cause neck problems
10:50.06murblealthough if you add in buying ticket flail i'd probably miss that train..
10:50.39WethrinThat trains comes from Banbury, so it'd come to Platform 3, which is further away
10:51.24murblemost london trains are Platform 3, and of course ticket office at Platform 3 is normally closed.
10:51.32WethrinYep
10:51.42murbleand if you buy the ticket at marlyebone they won't give you a discount.
10:52.05eye69Argh. Damn crap buss. Would have to take taxi to get to station today.
10:52.09eye69-s
10:52.16JDanyone read murblish?
10:52.20WethrinWhat? Young persons discount?
10:52.37JDcombined Oaster/Lotterie?
10:53.13murbleJD: as in the thing they are replacing session tickets with in London
10:53.19JD?
10:53.33murbleJD: proxim card to open ticket barriers etc, like ski pass.
10:53.37WethrinOyster
10:53.42murbleso i can't spell.
10:53.59JDoh LU?
10:54.31murble846 infected emails yesterday..
10:58.02WethrinGah. I should get up.
10:59.43eye69Apparently RMS was scheduled to talk in Vasa (.fi) on wed and thu, but he had slipped on the airport and broken his arm.
10:59.54WethrinYep
11:01.39eye69So he has recovered enough to talk at the Uni?
11:01.47*** join/#gllug highbury (~steve@81-1-67-97.homechoice.co.uk)
11:01.51gregjyes
11:02.22WethrinSo you shouldn't ask him to sign books? :)
11:03.17murbleshould bring along an Emacs manuel
11:03.31eye69Heh. I'm just contemplating whether I should spend 20 quid on cab to get into London for the talk, so I really don't want to come there and get the message that he wont be talking.
11:03.52Wethrineye69: There's pub too
11:06.13Huhnmoin
11:06.32highburymorning
11:06.34zacharyeye69: I haven't recieved a cancel message yet. So everything is a go.
11:06.39Wethrinmoin
11:13.55eye69Well, this is a solution too. Instead of having a live departure time feed to the website, Great Eastern have a webcam pointed to the departure boards.
11:20.46eye69Last train leaves at 0047, so that isn't a problem.
11:21.09eye6900.55 if you want to push it.

23:26.04WethrinGah.
23:26.20WethrinTime for a temporary ban, if this keeps happening
23:28.28ClyphoxI told (when he was my friend) Chris not to buy a shitty router
23:28.51Clyphoxa 486 + pci OHCI USB host + openbsd > any ADSL router
23:29.56Wethrina 486 + pci OHCI USB host + openbsd still doesn't help
23:30.19WethrinYou still need to connect it to the ATM network via ADSL
23:30.25WethrinWhich still needs a router
23:31.05ClyphoxWethrin: I'm just talking about his connection problems... he bought a shitty router
23:31.33WethrinI got a cheap wireless router
23:31.45*** join/#gllug Xiaoqi_ (~nikki@negativezero.plus.com)
23:32.27ClyphoxI've installed over 3 dozen when I was at duplications.. and they are the same sitty ones as he bought
23:32.36HuhnZzZnn
23:32.37Clyphoxanyway.. its not my problem
23:32.39Clyphoxnn
23:32.53WethrinRight. If this connection gets reset, I'm putting a temporary ban on
23:33.01WethrinnnH
23:36.10WethrinWell, you'd still need a decent router to go with the PC
23:36.26WethrinSo you may as well get a router that does NAT and some firewalling, and do away with the PC
23:40.24Clyphoxthats what a 486 + usb (for a speedtouch or other DSL modem) and oBSd is for
23:41.27WethrinBut they're shit modems
23:41.35WethrinAnd the PC sucks much more power
23:42.26Clyphoxmy speedtouch has 100% uptime for 4 months. GOOD MODEMS
23:42.37Clyphoxand when it was down so was the PC
23:43.24WethrinPCs still make noise and suck power
23:43.39Clyphoxtrue... thats why I like 486es
23:44.09WethrinThey still suck power
23:44.18WethrinAnd have fans
23:44.47Clyphoxmine doesn't :-)
23:44.55WethrinNot even on the power supply?
23:46.21Clyphoxyup :-)
23:47.01*** join/#gllug Xiaoqi (~nikki@negativezero.plus.com)
23:47.05WethrinOkay. So the machine is quiet, give or take hard drive noise
23:47.16JDcompact flash
23:47.32WethrinBut power consumption
23:48.12JDhttp://soekris.kd85.com/
23:49.27Clyphoxyeah I saw those boxes at the expo :-)
23:49.40ClyphoxI'm gonna get one of the USB ones when I have some cash floating around
23:52.02eye69Oi!
23:52.42WethrinOi?
23:52.44ClyphoxHeya
23:55.58eye69Wethrin: Yes, oi.
23:56.32WethrinOi, then
23:59.32WethrinRight. Time for sleep, methinks.
23:59.44WethrinI've printed out some bumpf about PhDs
