00:07.37 | rhowe | lol |
00:11.20 | rhowe | It is a lateral alveolar fricative (lisp) from IPA |

00:18.23 | rhowe | hm, lemme check |
00:19.13 | rhowe | Somehow it ended up in ~, not ~/public_html. Fixed now |
00:19.45 | evangineer | got it! |
00:20.34 | rhowe | It was suprisingly easy to find too.. load Gnome's unicode character map, choose search from the menu and paste it in |

13:18.33 | Leeds | zachary: pong |
13:19.25 | zachary | Are you running 10.2 or 10.3 on your mac? |
13:19.58 | Leeds | 10.3 |
13:20.02 | Leeds | .2 |
13:20.08 | Leeds | that is... 10.3.2 |
13:20.35 | zachary | Do you use 'ssh -X' into other machines? |
13:20.57 | Leeds | not particularly |
13:21.15 | Leeds | I only run remote X to one machine, and I tend to just use straight X |
13:22.08 | Leeds | and I don't have it here with me now, so I can't test anything until this evening if you want me to |
13:22.55 | zachary | I downloaded the Xfree86 package and installed it. But I'm having problems when the application is looking for the xserver. |
13:23.27 | Leeds | are you on 10.3? |
13:23.35 | zachary | same, 10.3.2 |
13:23.55 | Leeds | in which case you should be using the X package from the 3rd CD, not the downloadable one, I think |
13:24.37 | zachary | Oops, |
13:24.55 | Leeds | oh, no |
13:25.11 | Leeds | you got it from http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/download/ ? |
13:26.41 | zachary | taking a look. |
13:27.17 | zachary | Your media system software came on CD's and not DVD? |
13:28.21 | Tarragon | martin: Running the CD image - Is my HDD light wired wrong? Seems to try to access the HD when it boots? |
13:28.49 | zachary | from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/ |
13:29.26 | Leeds | I bought the 'up-to-date' upgrade from Jaguar - came on 4 CDs |
13:30.39 | Leeds | zachary: exactly which package? |
13:30.57 | Leeds | oh, the xfree86 package from the bottom of that page? |
13:31.40 | zachary | Xfree86 4.2 - 10.2 |
13:32.04 | Leeds | that's obselete |
13:32.39 | Leeds | the 'offical' X package from the URL I gave above is XFree86 4.3 with lots of Apple patches - most of which are in the (slightly delayed - should have been released by now) upcoming 4.4 |
13:34.23 | zachary | ok, need to uninstall and download the right stuff. Big thanks. |
13:34.39 | Leeds | np |
13:44.30 | Tarragon | martin: pings rest of network fine. Does want to accept ssh |
13:47.37 | martin | Tarragon: You have to explicitly start the SSH server. |
13:48.10 | martin | Tarragon: re light - your light is probably associated with the IDE controller, hence will come on for CD access? |
13:48.47 | nasrat | hey martin how goes |
13:48.49 | martin | (there's no IDE driver, so it certainly won't be trying to access the HDD) |

17:07.48 | Leeds | see, I prefer a 5 minute car journey to a 5 minute walk to the bus stop, then 10-15 minutes waiting (average), then a 5 minute bus journey |
17:07.55 | Leeds | and similar on the way back |
17:08.10 | Leeds | I'm a lot happier to walk in the summer... |
17:08.32 | Cope | jason_ukfsn: did you buy the new (old) astra? |
17:09.29 | murb | Cope: so you are not coming to london.pub to celibrate new.job? |
17:09.38 | jason_ukfsn | no. The seller insisted upon the full price on the basis that 5 months MOT added 50% to the value - the car had less than 1 month tax so I walked away |
17:10.13 | jason_ukfsn | There hasn't been a suitable car over the past couple of days but I can wait |
17:10.23 | murb | I won an auction today in the last 5 seconds... |
17:10.24 | murb | grr |
17:10.28 | murb | i hate it when that happens. |
17:10.42 | Leeds | why? |
17:10.43 | rhowe | Hendon? beer? |
17:10.48 | rhowe | damn |
17:11.01 | jason_ukfsn | what what happens murb? |
17:11.02 | Cope | murb: I don't have any money until the end of the month; and what I do have gets spent on transport to new job and tedious house-keeping stuff. |
17:11.45 | murb | jason_ukfsn: people bid in the last few seconds before the end of the auction and i have to try and catch up. |
17:11.59 | murb | which also means i have to be arround for the end of the auction which spoilt my day a bit. |
17:12.04 | murb | (but i needed this memory) |
17:12.19 | Cope | murb: write a script? |
17:12.39 | murb | Cope: nah, i like to decided. |
17:12.48 | rhowe | scripted eBay bidding could easily get very dangerous :) |
17:13.06 | murb | if i really wanted it i could pay what i think it is worth, but if you do that i sometimes end up paying more than i would have otherwise. |
17:14.15 | jason_ukfsn | there's already a script to handle last minute bidding. Look in freshmeaat |
17:14.43 | jason_ukfsn | murb so long as you are paying a % of what you'd pay on Crucial.com it's not too bad |
17:15.02 | Cope | murb: what memory did you get, and for how much? |
17:15.06 | murb | jason_ukfsn: Crucial don't sell the memory i as after any more. |
17:15.21 | murb | Cope: an 2 x unbuffered edo 60ns 128mb dimms |
17:15.29 | murb | for my compaq smp box. |
17:15.36 | Cope | murb: cool - how much did you get them for? |
17:15.39 | murb | (which will be smp when i get the voltage regulatory thing) |
17:15.41 | murb | 26 quid |
17:15.44 | Cope | bargain! |
17:16.22 | murb | i lost an auction for 4 of them which by not being arround at the end, when for 41.50 my max was 40.50 |
17:16.36 | rhowe | EDO DIMMs must be pretty rare these days |
17:16.42 | Cope | My bargain hardware is growing - another box - p2-350(ish) 256M ram, cd-rw, 10G hdd - 10 quid |
17:17.48 | rhowe | s/Cruso/Crusoe/ |
17:17.50 | Cope | ooh |
17:18.15 | rhowe | Not bad for 800 quid I guess, although the copy of Windows XP is knocked off. S'what the CEO gets for buying kit of dubious origin in .hk |
17:18.50 | Tarragon | If your max of £40.50 got beat by £1 is sounds like a proxy bid that automatically outbids you until their max. They could have said £100 and you would have to keep bidding to beat it. |
17:19.46 | stephen | your monitor runs Solaris? |
17:19.49 | Cope | big_monitor++ |
17:20.11 | Tarragon | rhowe: will go blind |
17:20.31 | Cope | Woo! |
17:20.54 | rhowe | Tarragon: Yeah, but not from this - that'll be from my 14" monitors at home where text is blurred even at 800x600 |
17:21.20 | Cope | Leeds - very small box? |
17:21.40 | rhowe | Or very big foot? |
17:21.44 | Leeds | not particularly... but it's sitting on the floor, desktop-style, under my desk :-) |
17:22.21 | rhowe | Cope: Are you still unable to play MP3s? |
17:22.31 | Leeds | Ultra 60 to the left of me, Dell to the right... |
17:22.56 | rhowe | Leeds: Heh, no such hardware here, unfortunately.. 99% Compaq |
17:22.57 | Cope | rhowe: Yes, for now. May change upon arrival of new box. |
17:23.20 | Leeds | rhowe: there are a few HP boxes around here... |
17:23.33 | rhowe | Leeds: There are too old to be called HP :) |
17:23.39 | pawel | I will take one. ;-) |
17:23.47 | rhowe | Leeds: A few DL320's and two DL360's |
17:23.57 | Cope | Squeezable. |
17:23.59 | rhowe | Cope: With ethernet port? |
17:24.12 | Cope | rhowe: no, but with easy-wipe top! |
17:25.30 | rhowe | Leeds: I didn't until a couple of months ago, and even then I only know the ones for what we have.. DL320 is a 1U box, 360 must be about 4U I guess |
17:25.44 | Cope | Right - work. |
17:26.03 | rhowe | work? |
17:27.11 | rhowe | Cope: btw, I can't afford pub beer atm, but you're more than welcome to pop round to the flat in Hendon sometime for a can or few and a DVD |
17:50.31 | Leeds | hmm... |
17:56.15 | Cope | rhowe: That would be ace |

18:16.02 | evangineer | did you download the sybase binaries? |
18:16.35 | pie | Yep, they installed on RH9 without a problem. |
18:16.45 | pie | 'lo evangineer |
18:16.52 | evangineer | excellent! |
18:17.06 | pie | I don't know how to configure the databases yet though, I have some research to do. |
18:17.38 | evangineer | let me know if I can give you a hand |
18:17.55 | pie | When I do a /'etc/init.d/sybase start' no processes get run, but I guess I may just have not configured it enough. |
18:18.01 | pie | evangineer: Thanks :-) |
18:18.16 | pie | that should have been '/etc/init.d/sybase start' |
18:20.18 | evangineer | did srvbuild run okay? |
18:23.23 | pie | Um, I don't know, all I have done so far is install from RPM and do a 'sybinstall' or whatever it is. |
18:23.36 | pie | ? |
18:23.38 | Leeds | "I would love to see London host the 2012 Olympic Games! Something for everyone to be proud of. One thing worries me though, how many overseas athletes would claim asylum upon arrival and disappear whilst in the UK only to reappear at our DSS offices?" |
18:23.56 | pie | kilroy-silk? |
18:24.20 | evangineer | pie: you need to run srvbuild after sybinstall. |
18:24.35 | pie | Aaah, that might be why then |
18:24.37 | pie | sec |
18:24.39 | Leeds | nope, just a random BBC message-boarder |
18:24.44 | pie | Ah. |
18:25.23 | Cope | leeds: ok " " around the sed argument - got some text on the screen, but the file hasn't changed. |
18:25.42 | evangineer | pie: when you ran sybinstall, did it startup a GUI? |
18:26.16 | Leeds | pie: but he has officially quit now... I guess he'll get a daily column in the Mail or something |
18:26.46 | pie | Leeds: ;) |
18:27.27 | Leeds | Cope: dunno, really... |
18:28.01 | pie | Arse, srvbuild is an X program... |
18:28.15 | evangineer | pie: yes |
18:28.22 | Cope | leeds: I thing sed "s/want's/wants/" < foo > foo works. |
18:28.27 | pie | Why the hell do companies insist on writing X installers for their f'ing databases. |
18:28.37 | evangineer | pie: did you read the article I pointed you to? |

18:28.48 | Leeds | Cope: cool |
18:29.01 | pie | I haven't spent much time on sybase yet |

18:37.04 | Leeds | good plan |
18:37.54 | jason_ukfsn | yeah - I just received confirmation of UKFSN's dialup revenue for December - over £250.00 |
18:38.02 | jason_ukfsn | What a surprise Cope! |
18:38.25 | Leeds | Cope: we *had* noticed that, you know |
18:38.44 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: good stuff - beer on you next week then :-) it *is* supporting the community after all |
18:39.13 | jason_ukfsn | making the community failling down drunk. Hmm, I'm not sure that is what I had in mind when starting UKFSN |
18:39.50 | jason_ukfsn | I have to invoice the telco before the money actually arrives. I just have the stats. This is the first payment on dialup |
18:40.03 | Leeds | would take more than 250 quid to get all of GLLUG drunk... |
18:42.36 | Leeds | so is that more or less than you expected? |
18:48.05 | jason_ukfsn | it's a start. I have just managed to switch almost all UKFSN users to a new telco for dialup as it was proving impossible to reach the 100,000 minutes/month barrier to get paid anything at all with the other bunch. |
18:48.23 | jason_ukfsn | The contract with the new telco pays out from the start and at a higher rate so it's very good. |
18:49.07 | jason_ukfsn | It's still a small amount however it will grow as more people use the service and it costs nothing so it's all "profit". |
18:50.06 | jason_ukfsn | it should guarantee that I can write out a check with at least 4 figures before the . soon. |
18:50.42 | Leeds | I suppose I should really start using ukfsn rather than freeserve when I want to generate a 'throwaway' ISP account |
18:51.16 | Leeds | hmm... you do 128k ISDN for free? (metered) |
18:51.16 | jason_ukfsn | indeed you should ;) |
18:51.45 | jason_ukfsn | yes. The number is 0845 121 3852 |
18:51.59 | Leeds | too late now... I used about 100 hours of it over Christmas |
18:52.37 | pie | hmmmmmm. |
18:52.49 | jason_ukfsn | not a problem - just remember it for the next time you need dialup. If you don't need web/email with it just use signup/signup as the login |

18:58.58 | Leeds | Jason is charging 25 quid to download a copy of his Worldpay module, which is also on CPAN... in fact, after paying, you get told where you can download it from... :-) |
18:59.19 | pie | Really? That is a bit steep... |
19:00.25 | Leeds | well, it's a minor con, since you can get exactly the same thing from CPAN for free... he *did* write it though |

20:53.43 | zachary | pie: Only if you lack any cooking skill what so ever. And opening a bag of crisps does not cound. |

20:57.35 | pie | Um, NP. |
21:02.13 | pie | Anyone know if using place holders in an insert statement is faster than just using a $dbh->do($...) in all instances (perl)? |
21:18.53 | pie | Quiet in here... |
21:20.03 | quinophex | quiet everywhere |
21:20.11 | quinophex | thats because some people have "lives" |

21:27.23 | quinophex | Norfolk |
21:27.30 | pie | Cluck. |
21:28.32 | Cope | Why is being on irc either sad or demonstrative of a lack of life? |
21:28.54 | pie | Quite. |
21:29.16 | pie | quinophex: Why norfolk? |
21:38.41 | wethrin | quinophex: You fosdemming? |
21:42.39 | quinophex | Norfolk because i have free rent here :) |
21:42.48 | quinophex | wethrin: i would go to fosdem if i had any money :) |
21:44.05 | wethrin | Ah. That's a no, then :-/ |
21:44.26 | quinophex | most likely |
21:45.39 | pie | I wouldmlove to go to fosdem, but I am skint also |
21:45.59 | wethrin | So do a Fosdem-on-the-cheap |
21:46.12 | pie | I haven't got enough for FotC |
21:46.19 | wethrin | Eurostar is currently £29.50 return (going out Friday 1042). And youth hostel is about 18EUR/night |
21:46.31 | pie | I am saving up for a baby. |

21:48.11 | pie | I would hope you would have a bit of an idea... |
21:48.12 | quinophex | woman != pregnant |
21:48.26 | quinophex | well, its one of those things where you have to wait a bit |
21:48.31 | pie | Yes. |
21:48.35 | quinophex | coz it could be kinda new |
21:48.40 | quinophex | not quite sure of her status |
21:48.47 | quinophex | she doesn't have accurate log files ;) |
21:48.59 | pie | No nagios plugin. |
21:49.03 | quinophex | nope |
21:49.11 | pie | inconsiderate I say |
21:49.13 | quinophex | no SNMP interface either |
21:49.34 | pie | I tried but she didn't speak to me for a week. |
21:49.48 | quinophex | heh |
21:52.01 | wethrin | :) |
21:52.07 | wethrin | fortune is good if you're bored |
21:52.59 | wethrin | fortune | banned > /etc/motd |

21:53.25 | wethrin | Obviously, banner |
21:53.32 | rhowe | http://www.siksai.co.uk/~rhowe/vpn/routefuncs |
21:53.41 | rhowe | bash is wonderfully versatile :) |
21:54.02 | Cope | gah |
21:54.07 | pie | You would have to be pretty bored to play with banner... |
21:54.11 | Cope | I don't have fortune on this solaris box. |
21:54.58 | wethrin | Well complains to Leeds :) |
21:55.28 | pie | Yeah, it is probably his fault ;) |
21:56.31 | wethrin | yes |
21:58.33 | rhowe | Hm, anyone in the Hendon area and hungry? :) |
21:59.08 | rhowe | Open for another hour |
21:59.56 | Cope | But you have bandwidth, so life is good. |
22:00.05 | wethrin | I have Dead Ringers on BBC7 |
22:00.22 | rhowe | I think it's about the same |
22:01.04 | Cope | more than an hour probably. |
22:01.09 | rhowe | Cope: You don't want to do that |
22:02.49 | quinophex | but of course you save work regulary |
22:02.57 | quinophex | so only lost 30 seconds of edits ;) |
22:04.55 | pie | Ooooh, Have I Got Old News For You is on TV |
22:05.18 | quinophex | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/default.stm |
22:05.21 | quinophex | whoah |
22:05.26 | quinophex | oooh |
22:05.26 | quinophex | i have a tv in here now |
22:06.44 | pie | Did you do this whilst typing on IRC? |
22:08.09 | quinophex | no it happened in the seconds before typing it |
22:08.32 | quinophex | i can't predict the future reliably ;) |
22:08.55 | pie | I hate SCO, I wish they would FOAD |
22:09.36 | quinophex | they don't make it easy to find a .uk phone no. to call them about licensing afaict :) |
22:09.53 | pie | I would not be sad if they all died in a freak yahtting acident. |
22:10.22 | pie | If you find a freephone number, let us know, we could saturate it. |
22:10.42 | quinophex | Tel: +44 (0)1707 226014 |
22:10.59 | pie | what is that number |
22:11.11 | quinophex | SCO's |
22:11.16 | pie | In the UK? |
22:11.21 | quinophex | apparently |
22:11.55 | quinophex | yeah it is |
22:12.03 | quinophex | 8.30 am to 6pm monday to friday |
22:12.07 | pie | damn |
22:13.05 | quinophex | will call them on monday mornin |
22:14.32 | Cope | Why? |
22:15.00 | pie | waste their time? |
22:15.07 | quinophex | aye |
22:15.12 | Cope | Good plan. |
22:15.14 | quinophex | want to discuss licensing options with them |
22:15.16 | quinophex | ;) |
22:15.33 | quinophex | wondering if we can claim against them for extortion either ;D |
22:15.44 | pie | I called them and left a message on their answering machine asking for someone to call me about licensing linux systems ;) |
22:16.04 | quinophex | but either way, if we got only 500 people to call them on monday and waste their time it would piss them off ;) |
22:16.26 | pie | Yes |
22:16.48 | pie | We can't legally set fire to them, so this is a reasonable alternative. |
22:17.21 | quinophex | and also cost them real cash |
22:17.27 | pie | Yes. |
22:17.56 | pie | The more times they have to call out about licensing the more money it costs them and the less money they get to spend suing us... |
22:18.20 | Cope | We could just all use bsd |
22:18.45 | pie | So only call after hours and ask them to get back to you, |
22:18.46 | pie | . |
22:18.56 | Cope | pie is using ed |
22:19.07 | pie | I am not, grrr. |
22:19.11 | Cope | . |
22:21.55 | rhowe | Cope: If you use ZZ to exit, there's not much danger of not saving :) |
22:30.11 | rhowe | hm, half an hour to order food.. |
22:31.19 | pie | Order now, you can't take the chance! |
22:32.08 | pie | Tink of your stomach! |
22:33.42 | Cope | pawel: use a large screwdriver and a hammer. |
22:33.50 | pawel | I have this model cover. |
22:34.20 | Cope | Is that the name of an 80s new romantic band? |
22:34.45 | pawel | :> |
22:35.03 | Cope | "And a new entry at number 7, its 'This Model Cover' and 'Think Pad' |
22:35.24 | pawel | ThinkHammer. :> |
22:35.43 | Cope | Naw, that was a peter gabriel rip-off. |
22:36.25 | pawel | any, I should use better tools. :-/ |
22:36.33 | pawel | s/any/anyway/ |
22:37.52 | pawel | I'm using only big screwdriver and kitchen knife. |
22:38.15 | SpudULike | Wethrin: Eurostar to Brussels - £29.50 is the single fare. You got me all excited for a minute! |
22:39.13 | wethrin | And it's £39.50 now |
22:39.24 | wethrin | And £40 on the Sunday evening return |
22:39.35 | wethrin | Still. It's good that I've got the half-price return voucher |
22:39.41 | wethrin | Have you booked the yoof hostel yet? |
22:40.45 | SpudULike | "... return voucher ... Mmmmm ..." |
22:41.24 | SpudULike | No, I will wait until Wednesday until I make a decision. Coach tickets will need to be booked Wed as well. |
22:42.50 | wethrin | Okay |
22:43.01 | SpudULike | Hotel booked? |
22:43.38 | wethrin | No. I might do YH |
22:43.38 | Cope | s/ed/es/ |
22:43.44 | wethrin | Feeling cheap |
22:43.56 | SpudULike | Wethrin: Yeah! |
22:44.04 | Cope | SpudULike: hello |
22:44.09 | SpudULike | Hi Cope. |
22:44.39 | pie | 'lo |
22:44.45 | wethrin | :) |
22:44.52 | Cope | You lucky lot... best I'll get this year is a London Linux Expo |
22:45.03 | SpudULike | John, Jason and me are deff. going. Two others pendng. |
22:45.24 | wethrin | Excellent :) |
22:45.36 | wethrin | I've got a friend who'd like to go |
22:45.50 | SpudULike | What's stopping them? |
22:45.50 | Cope | You have a friend? How did this happen? |
22:46.24 | pie | wethrin: Does it cost a lot? |
22:46.27 | Cope | (that's what my dad always used to say to me) |
22:46.32 | pie | I hear they eat a lot. |
22:46.53 | Cope | friends? dads? John, Jason and Colin? |
22:47.07 | pie | freinds. |
22:47.10 | Cope | Ah |
22:47.16 | wethrin | Cope: I blame Uni |
22:47.17 | SpudULike | And Colin's! |
22:47.20 | wethrin | SpudULike: He *might* be in Moscow |
22:47.30 | wethrin | pie: It costs a bit. |
22:47.36 | SpudULike | wethrin: Lame excuse! |
22:47.38 | Cope | echo $BIT |
22:47.40 | wethrin | Heh. |
22:47.56 | wethrin | 18EUR/night for Yoof Hostel. About £80 for Eurostar |
22:48.00 | wethrin | Plus beer |
22:48.28 | SpudULike | pie: Were you asking about the cost of keeping friends? |
22:49.16 | pie | yes |
22:49.52 | Cope | Evidently keeping friends is contigent on them staying in youth hostels, going on the eurostar and drinking beer. |
22:50.13 | SpudULike | Can cost you more losing them! |
22:50.56 | wethrin | You're not allowed to call him |
22:51.02 | SpudULike | Cope: Not so, friends understand others needs. |
22:51.26 | pie | wethrin: what do you mean? |
22:51.35 | SpudULike | With the exception of drinking beer, obviously! |
22:51.37 | wethrin | You're not allowed to call Jason when he's in Brussels |
22:51.39 | wethrin | He said :) |
22:51.42 | pie | Oh |
22:53.13 | SpudULike | If Jason got lost in Brussels I'm sure the authorities would soon find him again for us. It's not like they'd want to keep him! |
22:53.24 | pie | Heh ;) |
23:11.29 | pawel | eh, for one stupid fan I must to remove all must of components and motherboard. |
23:11.51 | pawel | s/"all must/must/ |
23:12.21 | pawel | now i really hate thinkpads. |
23:14.17 | Cope | thinkpads are good |
23:14.45 | pawel | not in service. imho. |
23:15.42 | pawel | i saw toshiba, dell, hp and some of the .tw noname laptops. |
23:15.48 | pawel | inside. |
23:15.59 | Cope | inside where? |
23:16.30 | pawel | inside laptops. :) |
23:16.34 | pie | stinkpads |
23:16.50 | pie | we have a box at work labeled 'stinkpad manuals' |
23:17.22 | pie | I have an acer personally, it is pretty good apart from the linux incompatible winmodem. |
23:17.44 | wethrin | Mo......dem? |
23:17.48 | pawel | it's my personal computer and I must to buy new fan, because computer doesn't want to start. |
23:18.14 | wethrin | You're in luck. Tomorrow are the computer fair.s. |
23:18.40 | pie | Yes yes yes, I know, so last century, but I need one when I go home, my parents and parents in law only have this 'analoguie' thing I have to use. |
23:19.04 | pie | The onboard NIC works fine |
23:19.47 | pawel | hm, you think I will find a single fan to Thinkpad 600x there? :) |
23:20.02 | pie | Yep, but only in another stinkpad |
23:22.39 | pawel | yeah. ;-) I'm trying to imagine a seller face when I will ask to remove a fan from his laptop. :) |

23:37.51 | pie | I got a cheap case with a rattly fan. Big mistake |
23:37.56 | rhowe | ugh |
23:38.07 | pie | last time I do that |
23:38.09 | rhowe | rattly fans need binning |
23:39.07 | pie | I unplugged the really rattly case fan, CPU didn't rise too much in temp so I left it. |
23:39.32 | pie | I abuse the CPU a fair amount and it has survived. |
23:39.37 | Cope | pic 10 is cool |
23:40.08 | Cope | pic 16 spoils it |
23:40.38 | rhowe | heh, it's not like that box has run Windows in a long long time |
23:40.51 | rhowe | They sent me a window sticker, so I had to put it on a Window somewhere... |
23:41.10 | Cope | hmm |
23:41.14 | pie | Someone elses window? |
23:41.33 | pie | I usually use them in amusing places, like rubbish bins. |
23:41.40 | rhowe | The CPU fans are different now actually.. the heatsinks are square |
23:41.51 | pie | Pic 12 is cool |
23:41.57 | rhowe | I caught my finger in one and knocked it off-centre, so I replaced them both |
23:42.00 | pie | really cool |
23:42.25 | rhowe | Not focussed enough |

23:44.50 | rhowe | pawel: -ENOLAPTOP |
23:44.56 | rhowe | pawel: There's Linux on my iPAQ though.. |
23:45.10 | rhowe | Installed by the guy who runs the familiar project, no less |
23:45.51 | Cope | OMG! Can I touch it? |

23:47.16 | Cope | Intense trees and stuff. |
23:47.37 | pie | Cool pic, nice trees |
23:47.46 | rhowe | pawel: I think that's an empty case actually... the CD is somewhere, and I keep seeing it and forgetting to reunite it with its case |
23:47.47 | pie | Sarah looks very tall ;) |
23:48.02 | rhowe | pie: She's about 5'8 or so I guess.. pretty much the same as me |
