10:24.02 | resuDaed | any sun experts (not leeds, I need to know now) in here? |
10:25.05 | resuDaed | I have been offered a sparc ultra 5 (270MHz,128MB RAM,4.3GB HDD) & a sun 17" monitor for 130 squid - worth it? |
10:31.25 | Wethrin | Morning |
10:31.30 | irvined | try ebay - thats a good way to check prices. |
10:31.46 | Wethrin | Try going down to £100. |
10:32.00 | Wethrin | Sun monitors tend to be really nice, so it'd be worth it just for that |
10:32.08 | resuDaed | Wethrin : that was my thought |
10:32.27 | Wethrin | Although, personally, I'd try and avoid paying :) |
10:32.33 | resuDaed | ebay didn't have anything overly similar (or coming to end of auction) |
10:32.36 | resuDaed | Wethrin ? |
10:33.30 | Wethrin | Well, I don't like paying for computers |
10:34.29 | resuDaed | neither do I, but most of them worth having, people want money for |
10:35.20 | resuDaed | I currently 'run' 2x486s, 1xP1, 2xP2 & 1xP3 (lappy), all my amds have either been sold off or died :-( |
10:35.35 | Wethrin | :-/ |
10:35.51 | resuDaed | 486s make decent routers as long as you don't try and ssh into them :-) |
10:35.59 | Wethrin | Well, try and pay the minimum you can get away with |
10:36.00 | Wethrin | :) |
10:36.27 | resuDaed | I have treid almost all flavours of unix I can get my hands on, and want to try solaris on its native platform |
10:36.51 | resuDaed | (and have a sun omnitor, because I also love them) |
10:37.05 | Wethrin | You tried Irix? |
10:37.25 | resuDaed | no, linux,f/o/nBSD and minix |
10:37.50 | resuDaed | currently all but minix in service on home network |
10:38.36 | resuDaed | irix has a general URI? |
10:39.20 | Wethrin | You need an SGI machine |
10:39.42 | Wethrin | Do you want a copy of SCO Opensewer, or SCO Xenix 286? Or even OpenStep? |
10:41.23 | resuDaed | YES PLEASE!! |
10:41.32 | Wethrin | http://testme.eco.li |
10:41.40 | Wethrin | Dig around, you'll find what you want |
10:41.53 | resuDaed | I still need to bring a 286 into production service somewhere on the network ... not sure where/what yet, but needs to be done :-) |
10:42.26 | resuDaed | (any suggestions?) |
10:42.43 | resuDaed | and a 386 |
10:43.01 | resuDaed | I have enough firewalls/routers, plus I don't see them being able to cope with the bandwidth |
10:43.18 | resuDaed | the 486s struggle sometimes |
10:43.19 | Wethrin | (BTW, some of the stuff might move around in the next couple of days) |
10:43.39 | Wethrin | Hm? I had a 386/20 doing NATting for me. It limited my network connection to 2Mbift |
10:43.43 | Wethrin | *Mbigt |
10:43.44 | Wethrin | *Mbit |
10:43.47 | Wethrin | GARGH! |
10:44.21 | Wethrin | So it's plenty enough unless you have a >2Mb connection |
10:44.22 | resuDaed | my 486s are limited to just the 10MBit part of the network, the 100MBit parts are 133 & 233 |
10:44.29 | Wethrin | Yah. |
10:45.26 | resuDaed | w/station --100MBit--> f/wall&router --10Mbit--> f/wall --512k/128k--> Internet |
10:46.39 | resuDaed | sometime I justpost my network setup to [gllug] for somments/suggstions, but not today |
10:46.40 | Wethrin | Why do you need two firewalls? |
10:46.40 | resuDaed | s/just/must |
10:46.40 | Wethrin | Use a 10/100 switch |

14:10.48 | armijn | we've got some chipcard controlled access mechanism here, with an ancient Windows program |
14:10.52 | armijn | want to use Linux for it instead |
14:11.01 | armijn | found a program which some German students wrote 5 years ago |
14:11.33 | armijn | was written in C++, but of course doesn't compile with new GCC...and the project has been abandoned anyway |

14:18.26 | armijn | can't find anything about the protocol, except for their code |

21:40.07 | murble | normally in leurven though. |
21:40.27 | murble | at mind.be |
21:40.29 | Leeds | I wouldn't take a free place |
21:41.20 | murble | I would... |
21:41.31 | murble | if i had noewhere else to stayu. |
21:41.54 | Leeds | oh, sure... but I (or work) can afford a hotel, so it would be leeching |
21:42.52 | Jenson | finally |
21:42.59 | Jenson | bloody thing froze itzelf for like 10 mins |
21:43.01 | Leeds | I do also consider it a weekend away |
21:43.31 | JD | Leeds: I'll be going, but hopefully it will cost me less than the 400GBP that last year did |
21:43.40 | Leeds | 400?? |
21:43.47 | Wethrin | Eek. £400 is excessive. |
21:43.57 | JD | yeah not quite sure how it happened |
21:44.02 | Leeds | Wethrin: pardon? :-) |
21:44.08 | JD | Oslo cost me the same and that was for 8 nights |
21:44.17 | Wethrin | Eek. GBP 400 is excessive. |
21:44.38 | Leeds | realistically you should be able to do it for 200, 300 if you want lots of beer and a nice/decent hotel |
21:44.50 | Wethrin | £ It's okay, you can use this if you want to hide things from Leeds ;-) |
21:45.04 | JD | well I think travelling first class on the train down to waterloo wasn;t the best idea |
21:45.19 | JD | Wethrin: £ yo mean like this? |
21:45.22 | Jenson | yeh, btwebmail doesnt like the £ either |
21:45.36 | JD | Jenson: and that is surprising because? |
21:45.44 | Wethrin | JD: £ Yes |
21:45.56 | Jenson | well, i thought it was a linux/moz problem, but it does it with ie too |
21:45.58 | JD | Wethrin: £cool |
21:46.14 | Wethrin | £ I wonder if this is annoying Leeds yet |
21:47.08 | JD | £ I'm not sure but lets corry on until he he complains |
21:48.10 | murble | £ he might have4 fixed his client. |
21:48.24 | murble | Leeds: have you fixed your client?£ |
21:49.25 | Jenson | bloody hell, we still ahvea mouse in our kitchen, bloody infestation |
21:50.12 | Jenson | s/ahvea/have |

21:56.08 | irvined | its like being student scum again. |
21:56.58 | Leeds | I've got no idea what you all said there... was out the room |
21:57.10 | Leeds | irvined: holiday, work, moving? |
21:57.16 | irvined | Holiday |
21:57.28 | Leeds | where, how long? |
21:57.30 | irvined | im tempted to try and get to know some potential employers over there |
21:57.34 | irvined | 16 days, |
21:57.44 | irvined | i'm off to colorado, staying at a friends house in winter park |
21:57.57 | Leeds | cool... too early to ski? |
21:57.57 | irvined | im basically going to be a snowboarding bum, with a bunch of geeks |
21:57.59 | irvined | it should be ace. |

21:59.21 | Jenson | gaim 0.71? |
21:59.26 | Jenson | im using 0.72 |
21:59.36 | Leeds | yes, I'm one behind |
22:00.09 | Leeds | maybe I should try to build 0.72 with pound-sign support... ./configure --enable-sterling :-) |
22:00.36 | Jenson | yeh well i dont use GAIM for irc, i use irssi. i use gaim for MSN |
22:00.47 | murble | not ./configure --enable-£ |
22:00.58 | murble | do they also have --enable-\$ ? |
22:01.36 | Leeds | murble: nope... everyone uses $ |
22:02.45 | Wethrin | Leeds: I remember older GAIMs supported pound signs |
22:03.09 | Leeds | as I said... I know it can display Hebrew, it should be able to manage English |
22:03.16 | Leeds | =A3 |
22:05.34 | Wethrin | Yep |

22:27.04 | Leeds | moved my ~/.xchat2 directory out the way and it's working now :-) |
22:28.21 | Leeds | someone say pound, please? :-) |
22:28.56 | Jenson | £ |
22:29.08 | Leeds | oh, wow... now I see a blank line ;-( |
22:29.10 | irvined | hmm |
22:29.12 | irvined | decisions.... |
22:29.25 | Leeds | was that just a pound sign or a line with one in? |

22:31.19 | Leeds | anyway, as long as I don't loose an entire line and have it replaced by an error message... I can live with it |
22:32.11 | Wethrin | ££££££££££ |
22:32.55 | Leeds | nope, not seeing anything... doesn't look like it 's the font, but IRC in serif looks funny :-) |

22:33.03 | Wethrin | ££££££ |
22:33.07 | Jenson | lol |
22:34.56 | Leeds | very strange |
22:36.15 | Wethrin | Leeds: I have a case+bits (just need a hard drive). Need to install OS, and I'll be ready to hand machine over to your capable paws :) |
22:41.56 | Leeds | cool |
22:42.34 | Jenson | we just caught the mouse |
22:43.21 | Leeds | mmm... dinner! |
22:43.33 | Wethrin | Roast mouse? |
22:43.55 | Jenson | i made my dad get out of bed and move it |
22:44.15 | Wethrin | Leeds: Wouldn't it need to be Kosher for dinner? |
22:44.16 | Jenson | he'd told me not to look, but i couldnt ignore it coz i heard the trap |
22:44.31 | Leeds | Wethrin, for my dinner sure... for Jenson, I don't think so |
22:44.51 | Wethrin | All id... |

22:58.18 | Jenson | night everyine |
22:58.20 | Wethrin | 'night |
22:58.22 | Jenson | everyone |
22:59.10 | Leeds | this is the same data: |
22:59.12 | Leeds | richardc@butter:~/donis$ du -sk Adar zipped.zip Adar.tbz2 |
22:59.12 | Leeds | 9100 Adar |
22:59.12 | Leeds | 1080 zipped.zip |
22:59.12 | Leeds | 120 Adar.tbz2 |
22:59.33 | Wethrin | Hm. bz2 is much better than zip in that instance |
22:59.45 | Wethrin | Compare zip with maximum compression too, though |
23:00.48 | Leeds | that directory contains 456 Word documents |
23:01.21 | Wethrin | Ah. You want to use lzip on that, then. With maximum compression. |
23:01.28 | Leeds | lzip? |
23:01.56 | Leeds | each file is 19456 bytes and contains about 100 bytes of actual data |
23:02.18 | Wethrin | http://lzip.sourceforge.net |
23:02.22 | Wethrin | (lossy zip) |
23:03.26 | Leeds | no |
23:03.33 | Leeds | this is actually important data |
23:04.42 | Wethrin | You're entrusting 100 bytes of important data to a Word file? |
23:06.22 | Wethrin | :) |
23:06.36 | Leeds | that's the point... I'm helping save the data |
23:07.05 | Leeds | here's a laugh... they have thousands of these Word docs, saved on *floppies* |
23:07.18 | Wethrin | Hahah. |
23:07.19 | eye69 | Leeds: *sigh* |
23:07.20 | Leeds | they're separated by Hebrew month |
23:07.26 | Leeds | and they've lost one of the months |
23:07.46 | Wethrin | You can't really have much sympathy, though, saving files onto floppies for safe keeping |
23:08.27 | Wethrin | It's almost like saving onto punched paper tape, then leaving the tape to soak in water before trying to read back from it |
23:08.52 | Leeds | every time I've spoken to my mum since she told me about it I've shouted "GET IT OFF THE FLOPPIES, GET IT ON A HARD DRIVE - A FEW HARD DRIVES!" |
23:09.14 | Wethrin | And a couple of CDs won't hurt either |
23:09.20 | eye69 | Put them in a DB. |
23:09.22 | Leeds | true |
23:09.31 | Leeds | eye69: exactly what I'm doing |
23:09.39 | eye69 | Wethrin: :) |
23:10.39 | Leeds | yes, putting it in Access |
23:14.03 | Leeds | and I'm not joking about that |
23:14.08 | Wethrin | Bad Leeds! |
23:15.10 | Leeds | not my setup, I'm just helping |
23:18.53 | Wethrin | Heh. |
23:19.07 | Wethrin | Grrr. Our tutorials at Uni are so utterly pointless |
23:19.20 | Wethrin | We're supposed to do some sort of business plan. |
23:27.46 | stephen | ouch |
23:28.35 | stephen | I like writing the programs for uni, but I _hate_ doing paper work |
23:28.43 | Wethrin | Yeah. |
23:28.56 | Wethrin | Specially that this isn't even part of the course. |
23:29.01 | Wethrin | It's all quite pointless (to me) |
23:29.09 | stephen | even worse |
23:29.32 | Wethrin | Yeah |
23:30.05 | Wethrin | Silly silly things. |

23:42.40 | axelS | hgm? |
23:43.07 | axelS | i've tested phpgroupware and countless clones - but there are shite! IMHO... |
23:43.43 | axelS | hmm... kolab... |
23:44.37 | highbury | YMMV |
23:44.46 | axelS | you wot? |
23:45.15 | highbury | Your Mileage May Vary - ie. it may be what or want, or it might not |
23:45.17 | axelS | kroupware.org doesn't work?... |
23:45.35 | axelS | yup - ce la vie |
23:45.43 | axelS | shame their server is down |
23:45.49 | highbury | caveat emptor |
23:46.10 | highbury | its usually mirrored on ftp.kde.org |
23:46.32 | axelS | reading the infos first... thanks to googles cache :D |
23:49.58 | Leeds | that's the one |
23:50.38 | axelS | thanks for the tip folks - looks promising |
23:51.02 | axelS | anyone tried kolab in a production environment? i.e. real-life users, etc |
23:51.13 | Leeds | bo :-) |
23:51.45 | Leeds | that was actually a real answer |

23:54.19 | axelS | thx |
23:54.50 | Leeds | and the 'paper' he presented is there, which is cool |
23:55.08 | axelS | nice - i'll read it tomorrow when my eyes stop hurting |
23:55.21 | axelS | btw. have you ever used/installed kolab? (just curious) |
23:55.56 | Leeds | nope... but it did look nice |
23:56.07 | axelS | hehe |
23:56.11 | axelS | ok |
23:56.12 | Leeds | and that was a while ago, I expect it will have improved somewhat since |
23:56.22 | axelS | well, aparently it's stable :) |
23:56.38 | axelS | i'll download it tonight and have my wicked ways with it tomorrow after brekkie |
23:56.39 | Leeds | I can get to their server... |
23:56.48 | axelS | shame it's KDE and not Gnome ;) |
23:57.05 | Leeds | it's German... |
23:57.12 | axelS | yeah, probably just a temp outage of my ns |
23:57.20 | axelS | don't mention it! |
23:58.03 | Leeds | do you need windows clients? |
23:58.07 | axelS | not really |
23:58.12 | axelS | web is ok |
23:58.19 | Leeds | ah |
23:58.25 | axelS | still need to set up this dreaded ldap server though ;( |
23:58.26 | Leeds | um... |
23:58.49 | axelS | trying to convert them (my client) to switch to linux 100% :D |
23:58.49 | Leeds | not sure how developed the web access is |
23:59.05 | Leeds | it's really targetted at KDE client<->server AFAIK |
23:59.26 | axelS | we'll see - if all fails I can always ask them to force lotus on me (argh...) |
