| 17:29.57 | gregj | you think , why is he yawning even more than I do ? :? |
| 17:30.02 | gregj | :> |
| 17:30.07 | evangineer | somebody once said that to be tired of london is to be tired of living, or something like that! ;-) |
| 17:30.43 | gregj | evangineer: or you have to be broke |
| 17:31.09 | evangineer | I'm in the broke category. |
| 17:32.05 | evangineer | Time to update my cv! |
| 17:32.24 | gregj | :-) |
| 17:36.16 | evangineer | Hmm - It's not being displayed properly in abiword. I'll try it in KOffice, otherwise I'm going to have to install the dreaded OpenOffice! |
| 18:06.43 | highbury | evangineer, use knoppix (which has OpenOffice as standard) |

| 18:39.44 | evangineer | evangineer finally locates his knoppix cd and resolves to organise his collection of burnt cds. |
| 18:55.12 | Leeds | don't suppose by any chance anyone has a RHAS 3.0 box hanging around I can borrow for a moment? |

| 20:19.53 | Cope | Thanks! |
| 20:20.18 | evangineer | I'm trying to work on my cv right now, but openoffice is not being helpful |
| 20:20.45 | evangineer | It's the stupid layout of the cv that is the issue really. |
| 20:21.10 | evangineer | I'm still using one that was imposed on me by a previous employer. |

| 22:07.28 | wethrin | evangineer: It's fairly easy, really :) |
| 22:07.29 | evangineer | murb: maybe so but more linux programs understand rich text format than .doc |

| 22:08.29 | evangineer | wethrin: I'm looking for a fast turnaround here, so latex is out for now. |

| 22:15.14 | wethrin | murb: I finish lecture at 4. |
| 22:18.13 | highbury | in theory I've just posted the announcement to gllug-announce, but it seems to be held up somewhere :-( |
| 22:27.11 | wethrin | ooh an ibot |

| 22:31.30 | wethrin | Yes. |

| 22:31.37 | murb | do you have a problem with that? |
| 22:31.44 | zachary | Thrusday beer! |
| 22:31.48 | wethrin | murb: What time will you be in London? |
| 22:31.50 | rhowe | Hm, no, but unless I can be online at the same time.. |
| 22:31.51 | wethrin | zachary: That too |
| 22:31.55 | murb | wethrin: all day. |
| 22:32.05 | rhowe | Then again.. Sarah'll be asleep in the evening.. |
| 22:32.28 | wethrin | murb: Okay. Well....maybe meet for lunch, then? And again after my pm lecture? |
| 22:32.45 | zachary | well, it's the only day I can get out this week. Whooo hooo! Just received news that I'm allowed out on friday as well. Beer Friday? |
| 22:33.02 | rhowe | Beer *day |
| 22:33.09 | murb | wethrin: I'm already lunching at Southbankuni |
| 22:33.20 | wethrin | Ah, okay. |
| 22:33.36 | murb | zachary: how long is the leash? |
| 22:33.41 | wethrin | Mm. I could do with Fridaybeer. |
| 22:33.46 | zachary | wethrin: Did you announce the social list to gllug-announce? |
| 22:33.59 | wethrin | No. I didn't even have a chance to announce it to gllug |
| 22:34.13 | zachary | murb: about two feet. |
| 22:34.27 | zachary | kids have me on a shorter leash |
| 22:34.47 | zachary | it's more like a choke chain. |
| 22:34.48 | SpudULike | The bondage stuff came in then? |
| 22:34.54 | SpudULike | ;-) |
| 22:35.52 | wethrin | ping gregj |
| 22:41.11 | murb | SpudULike: have you investigated youthhostel.brussels? |
| 22:41.28 | wethrin | I stayed there last year. As did SpudULike |
| 22:41.41 | wethrin | If you're going to lock your luggage away, you need to be back by 1am :) |
| 22:41.42 | murb | how reasonable is it? is breakfast included etc? |
| 22:41.59 | murb | wethrin: otherwise? |
| 22:42.00 | wethrin | It's.....passable, I guess. Don't expect a hotel :) And yes, breakfast is. |
| 22:42.07 | wethrin | Otherwise you can't get to it. |
| 22:42.16 | wethrin | Unless you oversleep, like I did |
| 22:42.16 | SpudULike | Otherwise you can't get your toothbrush out! |
| 22:42.30 | murb | they don't have lockers? |
| 22:42.34 | wethrin | They do |
| 22:42.49 | murb | just not in rooms? |
| 22:42.56 | wethrin | Yes, they have some in rooms |
| 22:43.00 | SpudULike | The basement room the lockers are locked in after 1am. |
| 22:43.02 | wethrin | But I don't think they were lockable |
| 22:43.49 | SpudULike | Large cages for bulky bags. The ones in the room were not secure, if lockable at all. |
| 22:44.32 | SpudULike | murb: You going to stay in a hostel? |
| 22:44.50 | murb | SpudULike: not sure. |
| 22:45.00 | murb | depends on how much i've pissed off patrick. |
| 22:50.21 | SpudULike | The other thing I'm trying to get a grip on is some reasonably priced evening meals for the Saturday. |
| 22:51.18 | SpudULike | Domaine de Lintillac Rue de Flandre 25 (tel 02 511 51 23. Metro: Compte de Flandre. Tues-Sat noon-2pm & 7.30-10.30pm. Under ? 20.) Delicious cuisine from the southwest of France at this warm, easy-going restaurant. The prices are ridiculously cheap for what could just be some of the best foie d'oie and foie gras in Brussels. Down to earth and full of character, the relaxed ambience and clientele make it perfect for family out |
| 22:51.45 | murb | don't we just normally eat babs somewhere whilst beeing very pissed at 02:00 ? |
| 22:52.01 | SpudULike | No, we do that AS WELL. |
| 22:52.35 | SpudULike | Anyway, isn't 'eating babs' different to 'eating 'babs' ? |
