00:06.10 | pawel | Leeds, I would like to test something like that in my home. |
00:06.16 | pawel | anyway, night. |
00:06.31 | Leeds | pawel: it's very easy - just follow the streaming instructions from their howto |
00:07.50 | pawel | sleep 2000 && killall -9 xmms && shutdown -h now |
00:07.51 | pawel | ;-) |
00:08.04 | pawel | cya. |
00:08.21 | Leeds | g'night |
00:15.36 | pawel | 15 7 * * * xmms trance96k.pls |
00:15.51 | pawel | 8-) |
00:15.53 | Leeds | dropped into his IRC channel, asked for help, commented on the code, he agreed with my comments and went to commit a fix... wants to know how I'm controlling the TiVo from tvtime so he can write it up for the website :-) |
00:16.48 | pawel | my morning. :-) |
00:16.55 | Leeds | your morning? |
00:17.01 | stephen | hehe pawel |
00:17.36 | Leeds | ah |
00:17.39 | Leeds | morning stephen |
00:17.40 | pawel | Leeds, cron. :) |
00:17.51 | stephen | hiya Leeds |
00:24.36 | Leeds | that works really well |
00:29.03 | wethrin | bedtime. g'night |
00:29.14 | new2unix | wethrin: nn |
00:30.54 | Leeds | night all |
17:11.45 | *** join/#gllug ibot (ibot@c-24-1-99-18.client.comcast.net) |
17:11.45 | *** topic/#gllug is Greater London LUG. Next meeting: Saturday 24th January, Web Site: http://www.gllug.org.uk |
17:13.54 | formi | ibot: why the hell are you back? |
17:13.57 | | formi: what are you talking about? |
17:14.20 | jason_ukfsn | ibot: why did you return to this channel? |
17:14.24 | | It had to be done. |
17:15.00 | jason_ukfsn | ibot abuse http://www.mujmac.cz/art/hw/tatra_mac_eng.html |
17:15.08 | | ACTION smacks http://www.mujmac.cz/art/hw/tatra_mac_eng.html across the face. "Take that, Bitch!" |
17:16.09 | Leeds | oh, there is a discount for FOSDEM for the hotel! |
17:16.34 | jason_ukfsn | ho much discount? I'm only paying about £13/night |
17:16.34 | murb | is it a discount, or is it a "special price" |
17:16.51 | murb | jason_ukfsn: agedhostel? |
17:17.32 | Leeds | it's 80 EUR per night rather than 100... still not for people doing it cheaply |
17:18.27 | murb | anyway everyone should save their money and come geeksking instead. |
17:19.26 | formi | murb: stop being a bofhs |
17:20.17 | jason_ukfsn | murb: pretty much yes. We're throwing some people out of an old people's home nearby and using their rooms for the weekend. |
17:20.26 | murb | hehe :) |
17:21.01 | jason_ukfsn | geeksking would give me broken bones and would cost me a lot more. FOSDEM is going to cost me £90 plus beer (and a little food I suppose) |
17:22.23 | formi | jason_ukfsn: look it in another way, you could see murb braking his bones!! |
17:22.55 | jason_ukfsn | alas murb turned out to be a very good skier - probably because he's totally blind when sking |
17:23.21 | formi | beer and ski? |
17:23.51 | jason_ukfsn | no - he doesn't wear his glasses although I suppose the plentiful beer may also explain things. |
17:24.28 | formi | what will the insurance guys say when he claims? |
17:25.14 | anth | jason_ukfsn could spend nothing on food by taking advantage of the daily nutritional reuquirements being met by 2 glasses of full cream milk, one glass of orange juice, and 47 pints of Guiness, or so the story goes |
17:26.13 | formi | haha |
17:27.38 | jason_ukfsn | formi: they'll tell him to sod off - the cover was invalidated by [random excuse] |
17:28.21 | jason_ukfsn | anth: I don't like guiness and 47 pints is just a bit much anyway - I'm fairly sure a modest meal will cost less than 40 pints of $whatever |
17:29.21 | Leeds | out of interest, anyone around coming back from Brussels on the monday on the train in the evening? |
17:29.42 | jason_ukfsn | not me - I'm returning Monday lunchtime |
17:30.17 | Leeds | if I'm having the day off, I might as well spend all of it in Brussels |
17:30.23 | formi | jason_ukfsn: I can see your point |
17:30.43 | Leeds | eh, the 1856 will do me fine |
17:31.42 | jason_ukfsn | I need to be back here in case there is any work needs doing for UKFSN. |
17:32.18 | jason_ukfsn | I'm going to install a new server and have it configured to replace the other UKFSN ones in case anything goes wrong. |
17:32.48 | jason_ukfsn | quote from my wife just now: all computer people are perverts |
17:32.50 | anth | I don't like Guinness either, but its chosen for the liquid diet because it has more of various minerals than most beer |
17:33.41 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: yes, we are |
17:33.41 | formi | jason_ukfsn: I shall not ask what were you doing |
17:33.48 | Leeds | anth: apparently that is a lot less true than it was |
17:34.21 | jason_ukfsn | I was sitting here typing a response to a support request. |
17:44.07 | formi | jason_ukfsn: you might tell the wife, fiddling with the modem is not what it seems |
17:45.46 | Leeds | train is booked... |
17:48.20 | formi | "In a memo issued on Wednesday, Sun's software executive vice-president Jonathan Schwartz said his company is firmly committed to a wholesale move from the Microsoft desktop -- possibly in the next six months -- and is prepared to help IBM do the same. |
17:48.24 | formi | . |
17:48.33 | formi | being cheeky hey? |
17:48.45 | Leeds | very cheeky... I quite like it :-) |
17:49.08 | formi | and could use the chance to sell them a few old sparcs? |
17:49.41 | Leeds | sell them anything... I think the point really is to say clearly that what they're talking about, or maybe not talking about, is something we're just getting on and doing |
17:50.27 | formi | i got that idea |
17:50.57 | anth | http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/media/features/js-linux.html |
17:52.44 | jason_ukfsn | as opposed to publicly getting one over on IBM? |
17:56.38 | murb | is Apple going to help as well? |
17:57.02 | murb | they could do it under a banner of "increase your hardware costs" |
17:57.22 | formi | but get shinny laptops |
17:57.48 | murb | turn the office into a cinema! |
17:58.22 | formi | and they can't run windows |
17:59.17 | jason_ukfsn | turning the office into a cinema would work for me |
17:59.40 | murb | formi: well you brick them up to stop light getting in. |
18:01.34 | formi | cheap bricks? what an idea! |

18:36.32 | JD | damn I need beer |
18:36.40 | JD | ibot: seen Jenson? |
18:36.42 | | jenson <~jenson@hermes.eco.li> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 8d 5h 16m 5s ago, saying: 'Jenson > London'. |
18:36.53 | JD | ibot: seen jenson? |
18:36.54 | | jenson <~jenson@hermes.eco.li> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 8d 5h 16m 17s ago, saying: 'Jenson > London'. |
18:37.10 | murb | has jenson been wiped out of existance? |
18:37.13 | JD | hmmm so where is she? |
18:37.19 | JD | seems that way |
18:37.29 | JD | anyone heard from/of her in the last week? |
18:37.49 | wethrin | JD: coming to Gllug tomorrow? |
18:38.06 | JD | yes |
18:38.07 | murb | JD in London? Never |
18:38.27 | murb | shocking! |
18:38.27 | JD | murb: yes |
18:38.35 | JD | I was in london recently |
18:38.40 | JD | wel just after christmas |
18:38.43 | murb | JD: did they pay you for that? |
18:38.46 | JD | but that is in the last month |
18:38.55 | murb | JD: do you ski? |
18:38.56 | JD | murb: well they paid me ot go to uxbridge |
18:39.06 | JD | murb: much like you did last year aiui |
18:39.25 | murb | uxbridge isn't really london. |
18:39.27 | JD | murb: they didn;t pay me ot go shoppin gafter I replaced the PSU |
18:39.41 | JD | murb: closer than I normally am |
18:39.48 | JD | it is inside the M25 |
18:40.26 | murb | JD: geekski? |
18:40.41 | murb | (just so it can be yo uthis year) |
18:40.41 | JD | murb: not sure |
18:40.43 | JD | I doubt it |
18:40.54 | JD | I need to save money for after summer |
18:40.58 | murb | negociated it into your new contract. |
18:41.02 | jason_ukfsn | JD I believe Jenson started a job this week |
18:41.07 | wethrin | JD: Back to educashon? |
18:41.26 | JD | jason_ukfsn: *faint* |
18:41.26 | murb | $company will pay the full costs of skiing in Hintertux, and time off work. |
18:41.42 | JD | murb: who's company? |
18:41.43 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: we knew that... but still - she hasn't been seen in over a week |
18:41.54 | wethrin | jason_ukfsn: How does Jenson get a job when there's still plenty of unemployed around here? |
18:42.01 | JD | wethrin: you know how |
18:42.08 | JD | wethrin: hopefully |
18:42.09 | murb | JD: your one i thought? |
18:42.09 | jason_ukfsn | don't worry folks I'm sure she'll be along tomorrow to keep you all company ;) |
18:42.13 | JD | I have my forms sitting here |
18:42.24 | JD | jason_ukfsn: that is what worries me |
18:42.28 | murb | JD: well fill them in and post them off. |
18:42.30 | wethrin | JD: Does that work, then? ;-) |
18:42.46 | JD | I'm bringing an ex-gf with me |
18:42.52 | JD | wethrin: does what work? |
18:42.53 | murb | JD: use /ignore on her then |
18:42.54 | JD | I'm confused |
18:43.07 | wethrin | Getting a job in a Jenson-fashion |
18:43.14 | jason_ukfsn | if she's an ex what's the problem? |
18:43.17 | murb | make up some t-shirts that say #gllug \n /ignore jenson |
18:43.18 | wethrin | JD: Bringing ex-gf to Gllug? |
18:43.26 | JD | murb: not very useful if jenson hugs/<something worse> me in front of the ex |
18:43.35 | JD | wethrin: still good friends |
18:43.44 | wethrin | But is she single? :) |
18:43.44 | jason_ukfsn | JD I repeat my question |
18:43.46 | JD | wethrin: I've never tried getting a job that way |
18:44.05 | murb | JD: so wear spiky anti hug wear. |
18:44.13 | murb | no don't, it might encoursge her. |
18:44.13 | wethrin | murb: She'd enjoy that more |
18:44.17 | JD | jason_ukfsn: it is easier if I don't upset her |
18:44.18 | jason_ukfsn | murb: that's not a good idea as she likes that more |
18:44.25 | JD | hmmm |
18:44.32 | wethrin | Get Jason to hug JD in front of ex-gf |
18:44.39 | jason_ukfsn | LOL! |
18:44.49 | JD | wethrin: hmmm not sure that will have the desired effect either |
18:44.54 | jason_ukfsn | How about I hug your ex-gf? |
18:44.55 | murb | get ex-gf to hug jenson in front of dpash |
18:45.01 | JD | murb: ffs |
18:45.07 | murb | JD: what? |
18:45.09 | JD | murb: jenson will be up for that |
18:45.24 | JD | murb: I'm not dpash and haven't been for at least 8 months |
18:45.29 | murb | JD: jpeg so we can send her in the right direction? |
18:45.32 | Leeds | murb: who's dpash? |
18:45.40 | wethrin | "I'm not dpash and neither's my wife" |
18:45.44 | murb | JD: sorry, tab completion doesn't work in the end of linese afaik |
18:46.14 | JD | it does murb |
18:46.19 | Leeds | wethrin: I am, however, Brian... |
18:46.32 | murb | ok well we'll have to make you a t-shirt with !DPASH |
18:46.46 | jason_ukfsn | no, I'm brian |
18:46.47 | JD | wethrin: you will like Dawn, she is a mac geek in training |
18:47.04 | JD | no I'm brian |
18:47.06 | murb | JD: do you know about fosem or not? |
18:47.08 | Leeds | JD: she's Scottish? |
18:47.20 | JD | murb: havent had chance to talk to my boss yet |
18:47.23 | wethrin | JD: Excellent :) |
18:47.28 | wethrin | But, is she single? ;-) |
18:47.29 | JD | I hope to still go, but not sure when I will be going |
18:47.33 | JD | wethrin: well yes |
18:47.38 | murb | JD: well when you have that meeting bring an ice pick. |
18:47.38 | JD | but are you? |
18:47.39 | wethrin | w00t! |
18:47.50 | wethrin | If I wasn't, I wouldn't need to ask :) |
18:47.54 | murb | (and explain what you'll do if he doesn't also let you go skiing) |
18:48.03 | JD | wethrin: oh what happened to the merkin? |
18:48.16 | JD | murb: I can't afford to go skiiing this year |
18:48.20 | wethrin | Finished many months ago |
18:48.22 | JD | why do you want me to go? |
18:48.26 | wethrin | I thought you knew that |
18:48.27 | JD | wethrin: oh right |
18:48.28 | wethrin | bye Leeds |
18:48.31 | JD | nope |
18:48.33 | wethrin | Ah. |

18:48.44 | jason_ukfsn | JD - he wants you |
18:48.45 | wethrin | :) So Dawn is attractive + single, eh? |
18:48.58 | murb | should i invite http://foto.pho.be/photo.php?id=672026 these people to another gllug thing? |
18:49.23 | JD | apparently jenson has been busy at work |
18:49.34 | wethrin | murb: Am I supposed to know who they are? |
18:49.37 | JD | I obviously missed the bit where she moved in with costa |
18:49.51 | murb | wethrin: obviously. |
18:49.52 | jason_ukfsn | she broadcast it on channel a lot |
18:49.59 | JD | wethrin: she still has a thing for me |
18:50.11 | wethrin | JD: Jenson? Or Dawn? |
18:50.12 | jason_ukfsn | although she did prepend each message with a "Is JD here? No? good..." |
18:50.13 | murb | JD: we will get jenson to fix that. |
18:50.22 | JD | wethrin: both? |
18:50.25 | wethrin | murb: Err....who are they, then? :) |
18:50.26 | murb | wethrin: they were at gllug. |
