| 00:00.27 | armijn | oh, happy new year to you all |
| 00:00.37 | armijn | welcome in 2004 ;-) |
| 00:01.29 | SpudULike | Why thank you. Happy New Year to everyone here also. |
| 00:02.20 | Cope | Disadvantage of NW6 - millions of fireworks waking up baby :-( |
| 00:03.11 | SpudULike | Yeah, I can imagine. The fireworks from the Thames would do the same. |
| 00:03.44 | SpudULike | Bit of a damp squib Catherine Wheel if you were to ask me! |
| 00:05.14 | Tarragon | Happy New Year everyone. |
| 00:05.52 | *** join/#gllug highbury (~steve@81-1-71-56.homechoice.co.uk) |
| 00:06.16 | SpudULike | Happy New Year highbury |
| 00:06.30 | Tarragon | ditto highbury |
| 00:06.44 | highbury | Happy New Year to you guys, too! |
| 00:24.17 | armijn | well, vodka is in the fridge... |
| 00:25.52 | armijn | freezer even... |
| 00:26.49 | SpudULike | Is it safe in the freezer? Wouldn't it be safer still to drink it now? |
| 00:27.02 | armijn | it's nicer when it's chilled |
| 00:27.13 | armijn | will get it out in about 10 minutes... |
| 00:27.18 | nasrat | you can keep decent vodka in the freezer for a long time |
| 00:27.32 | armijn | it is decent vodka...with a grass straw thingie in it |
| 00:27.48 | nasrat | bison? |
| 00:27.55 | armijn | yeh |
| 00:28.04 | armijn | better than smirnoff :) |
| 00:28.11 | armijn | am pretty new to vodka, so... |
| 00:28.12 | nasrat | yah |
| 00:29.01 | nasrat | stoli is usually in the freezer as default vodka |
| 00:29.14 | SpudULike | Surely you can't keep decent vodka. The stuff that's not decent will hang about but the decent stuff must get drunk??? |
| 00:30.16 | armijn | I'm more of a beer guy...even though I'm not into ales and bitters at all |
| 00:31.05 | armijn | maybe have some beer sampling thing @ FOSDEM this year :) |
| 00:31.10 | armijn | would be fun to do |
| 00:31.45 | SpudULike | I thought FOSDEM was a beer sampling thing. |
| 00:32.20 | armijn | not really...haven't seen the good beers there |
| 00:33.48 | armijn | hm, vodka |
| 00:36.51 | armijn | it's funny...every year these kids here buy way too much fireworks |
| 00:37.02 | armijn | and so they go on until 2am, 3am |
| 00:37.21 | armijn | they're lucky it's not raining.. |
| 00:37.25 | Tarragon | Started on the decent Speyside, moved onto the cheap Smirn, tastebuds now all dead |
| 00:38.07 | armijn | fireworks worth EUR 50 million....up in smoke... |
| 00:38.08 | Tarragon | Rainning here - fireworks still going off, scaring all the farm animals |
| 00:38.53 | armijn | apparently this one night of fireworks gives as much fine dust as 6% of what all dutch cars emit yearly |
| 00:39.11 | armijn | so, significant air pollution... |
| 00:39.58 | armijn | but it does look nice :) |
| 00:50.45 | Tarragon | Is burnt ash from fireworks less harmful than petrocarbons or does the metals in fireworks make a difference? |
| 00:58.51 | SpudULike | I'm sure that without the metals I wouldn't get that 'burning in the throat' sensation on the morning of Nov 6th. |
| 00:59.10 | SpudULike | What country has the code .ws ??? |
| 01:03.18 | Tarragon | Western Samoa |
| 01:03.41 | SpudULike | Ah. |
| 01:07.10 | Tarragon | I think they are one of the last. Kiribati is the first with GMT+14. They changed their timezones at the Mil so they could be first after Tonga changed to GMT+13 |
| 01:11.28 | SpudULike | I'm thinking it might be fun to try and catch some streaming radio from them. |
| 01:16.43 | Tarragon | http://www.ksbsfm.com/ is from American Samoa |
| 01:22.43 | SpudULike | Indeed they are, but there server/connection seems to be down. I've had to settle for http://www.anetstation.com/ |
| 01:24.59 | *** part/#gllug armijn (~armijn@losser.labs.cs.uu.nl) |
| 01:27.00 | Tarragon | Boy they look cold on that webcam |
| 01:31.13 | Tarragon | Is that really the wind in the backgrounf of the antartic radio station when he talks? |
| 01:38.56 | SpudULike | I think it's meant to be. |
| 01:39.22 | Tarragon | weird music though |
| 01:39.54 | SpudULike | Odd sort of bluesie/jazzie stuff, which I really getting into. |
| 01:40.22 | Tarragon | Yeah but you listen to lounge music for fun |
| 01:42.54 | SpudULike | This is true but then I am built for lounging! |
| 01:43.24 | Tarragon | It is the lizard skin tie that does it |
| 01:45.57 | SpudULike | I have the perfect physique for sprawling on a 14chas loung00 or one of those half sofa jobbies. |
| 01:47.31 | Tarragon | Isn't it normally girls with very long legs on those things |
| 01:47.56 | Cope | Well, I wanted to sleep but William has other ideas! |
| 01:48.23 | Cope | William thinks now is a good time to play! |
| 01:48.29 | Tarragon | :-) |
| 01:49.06 | Cope | He likes to sit in the sling with me while I'm at the desk; then he feels involved, and I can keep a close eye on him! |
| 01:52.14 | SpudULike | At least you have him in the sling the right way. I saw one poor child, sub-six months, facing forwards with his head flopping back and forth with every step of the parent. |
| 01:54.09 | Cope | Poor thing! |
| 01:55.19 | SpudULike | Yeah. Still, without parents like that where would we get the MSCE's of the future? |
| 01:55.21 | Cope | I think this sling is one of the best things we got; very covenient for popping out, and for cuddling and getting work done at the same time :o) |
| 02:09.59 | SpudULike | Indeed yes. I found the sling very useful too. They suddenly hit a size where a sling is just not practical any more and you really miss the convenience. |
| 02:27.35 | Cope | :o( |

| 18:14.17 | wethrin | Yes! |
| 18:14.25 | wethrin | Hippy new solaris orbit to you too! |
| 18:14.30 | wethrin | Did you have a good time away? |
| 18:14.45 | Leeds | very good |
| 18:14.47 | Leeds | very tiring |
| 18:14.59 | wethrin | :) |
| 18:15.31 | Leeds | had to stop 3 times driving 120 miles home to avoid the whole "falling asleep at 80mph, big pileup, spoiled New Year for lots of people" type thing |
| 18:16.05 | Leeds | met some cool people, went to some interesting/fun sessions, drank beer, got iPod... |
| 18:16.09 | wethrin | :) |
| 18:18.51 | Leeds | how was your week? |
| 18:19.40 | Leeds | and I think my bank's website is having trouble with dealing with the new year |
| 18:19.45 | wethrin | Hmm.... |
| 18:19.49 | wethrin | My week was okay |
| 18:19.57 | wethrin | Didn't do much :) |
| 18:20.03 | wethrin | Went to Oxford last night |
| 18:20.27 | Leeds | dangerous thing to do :-) |
| 18:20.33 | SpudULike | Did you stay sober? |
| 18:20.36 | wethrin | With the car. |
| 18:20.37 | wethrin | SpudULike: Yes. |
| 18:20.45 | wethrin | I need to make up for that on Saturday. |
| 18:20.56 | Leeds | hmm, argh |
| 18:21.00 | SpudULike | Wethrin: Kewl, means you'll make up for it on Saturday! |
| 18:21.05 | wethrin | Yes. |
| 18:21.05 | wethrin | :) |
| 18:21.37 | wethrin | Hmm.....what's a Signal 12 when it's at? |
| 18:21.54 | SpudULike | Toothpaste? |
| 18:22.14 | Leeds | SIGSYS? |
| 18:22.32 | Leeds | SIGUSR2? |
| 18:22.54 | wethrin | Not sure. |
| 18:23.54 | wethrin | SIGSYS |
| 18:28.00 | wethrin | Hrm. |
| 18:38.47 | wethrin | Leeds: What sort of download rates do you normally get from butter? |
| 18:56.13 | Leeds | pretty good |
| 18:57.02 | Leeds | like... we have a 1mbit pipe, and can normally approximately fill it if the downstream is there |
| 18:57.23 | wethrin | Hmm.... |
| 18:57.43 | wethrin | I only seem to get about 50K/sec |
| 18:58.08 | wethrin | :) |
| 18:59.06 | Leeds | it does depend on what other people are doing |
| 18:59.20 | wethrin | Fair enough |
| 18:59.55 | wethrin | :) |
| 19:00.27 | Leeds | hang on... when you say download what do you mean? |
| 19:00.45 | wethrin | Onto this server, from someone else |
| 19:01.02 | Leeds | so download to, rather than download from |
| 19:01.07 | wethrin | Yes |
| 19:02.37 | Leeds | well, it depends on where you go... |
| 19:03.36 | wethrin | True. It's a guy with an ~10Mbit pipe, so :) |
| 19:03.51 | Leeds | and between him and us? |
| 19:04.04 | wethrin | Not sure. |
| 19:04.15 | wethrin | Argh. Stupid CD giving read errors. |
| 19:04.31 | Leeds | I just did a test download of a 4.7Mb file... came down at over 75k/s |
| 19:04.42 | wethrin | Cool - URL? |
| 19:05.23 | Leeds | ftp://ftp.uk.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.0/linux-2.0.tar.bz2 :-) but ftp.uk.kernel.org round-robins anyway |
