| 00:12.08 | gregj | nie wiem jak to jest po angielsku :P |
| 00:12.17 | gregj | wethrin: jak jest "bekac" po angielsku |
| 00:12.19 | gregj | :> |
| 00:13.08 | gregj | wethrin: BTW, I should have let you know before I decided to go the city, my fault |
| 00:13.25 | gregj | rhowe: hang on, I;ll check in dictionary |
| 00:13.25 | gregj | ;P |
| 00:13.34 | rhowe | gregj: Japanese for "idiot" :) |
| 00:13.54 | rhowe | ばか, I guess |
| 00:15.03 | gregj | i mean: squall, belch, burp |
| 00:15.15 | gregj | whichever one is best in that case |
| 00:15.15 | gregj | :] |
| 00:16.52 | rhowe | belch / burp would do just fine :) |
| 00:17.09 | rhowe | (a bit of a slow site, but amusing) http://www.squidge.org/~praxisters/lotrhobbits.html |
| 00:17.21 | wethrin | heh |
| 00:17.55 | rhowe | http://www.pushindaisies.com/ - we put the "fun" in funeral |
| 00:18.46 | George- | we also put the cunt in country |
| 00:19.35 | gregj | hehehe |
| 00:20.05 | George- | a teacher at school said "It's people like you that really put the cunt in country" to someone ;) |
| 00:20.09 | George- | anyway, nite |

| 00:29.16 | Leeds | "Die, Westlife, die!" |
| 00:29.25 | rhowe | heh, neat. A friend now has 24/7 access to mcc.ac.uk's machine room :) |
| 00:29.38 | wethrin | "No, it's German for 'The, Bart, The'" |
| 00:31.35 | rhowe | wethrin: Hrm... |
| 00:31.42 | rhowe | wethrin: I have a P75 CPU which may or may not work |
| 00:31.49 | rhowe | I got it for free and have no motherboard for it.. |
| 00:31.51 | wethrin | No...I'm looking for something that works |
| 00:32.01 | wethrin | I have an Athlon 500 that sometimes works |
| 00:32.03 | rhowe | Ah, in that case no :) |
| 00:32.07 | wethrin | :) |
| 00:32.17 | rhowe | Only thing I have in that regard is a 486DX2-66, which I want to keep :) |
| 00:32.40 | Clyphox | I like DX2's |
| 00:33.00 | rhowe | Fanless DX2, no less |
| 00:33.04 | rhowe | Might even be an Intel chip |
| 00:33.13 | Clyphox | RA =) |
| 00:34.39 | rhowe | No IDE controller on the motherboard though, and no PCI. All my VLBus IDE controllers seem fubar, and my ISA one has no manual and is really slow |
| 00:35.26 | Clyphox | PCI is SOOOO sweet when you don't have it |
| 00:35.40 | wethrin | Hmm.....VLB..... |
| 00:36.23 | murb | rhowe: for late night ircing? |
| 00:38.29 | Clyphox | Anyone know Cope's email? I'm going offline and away from home for a week.. need to mail him stuff |
| 00:38.30 | rhowe | murb: I have my Duron 1.1 for that :) |
| 00:41.11 | Clyphox | anyone? |
| 00:42.04 | wethrin | rhowe: I've got two VLB controller cards |
| 00:42.18 | Clyphox | ibot: Cope |
| 00:42.19 | | i guess cope is the father of William, a geek in the making, or a big breadbox filled with crumbs of loveable humour. not coping, or chuckling like a maniac, or rabid |
| 00:42.27 | Clyphox | bah |
| 00:42.35 | rhowe | Clyphox: Lemme double-check |
| 00:42.59 | murb | wethrin: I have a spare pentium motherboard. |
| 00:43.06 | murb | and cpu. |
| 00:43.12 | rhowe | Clyphox: Your lucky day |
| 00:43.21 | rhowe | From: Steve Nelson <sanelson@wibbleworld.demon.co.uk> |
| 00:43.21 | rhowe | To: social@gllug.org.uk |
| 00:43.42 | wethrin | murb: Excellent. What spec CPU? |
| 00:43.45 | murb | hmm I'm not no that list, is it archived. |
| 00:44.02 | murb | wethrin: 133Mhz Citrix PR ratting is 166 I think. |
| 00:44.13 | murb | s/Citrix/Cyrix/ |
| 00:44.18 | rhowe | murb: I have an mbox going back about 20-30 messages, but that's it :) |
| 00:44.19 | wethrin | Hm. ATX or AT? |
| 00:44.25 | murb | both. |
| 00:44.56 | rhowe | List-Archive: <http://lists.gllug.org.uk/pipermail/social> |
| 00:44.56 | murb | wethrin: sort of cross generation. |
| 00:44.56 | wethrin | Hmm...I've got a Cyrix 150 |
| 00:44.56 | murb | is that the PR speed or not? |
| 00:45.03 | wethrin | Which I think is also hybrid |
| 00:45.13 | wethrin | Hmm.....can't remember. |
| 00:45.26 | Clyphox | rhowe: Thanks sir |
| 00:45.45 | wethrin | Hopefully it'll take the UDMA-100 controller card. |
| 00:45.53 | wethrin | I've got a 233MMX which didn't like it |
| 00:46.00 | rhowe | wethrin: I have a PR166+, normal clock of 150, and clocked down to 133 |
| 00:46.17 | rhowe | At least that's what I think it is |
| 00:46.52 | wethrin | Hm. |
| 00:47.06 | rhowe | Might be 120 |
| 00:47.10 | wethrin | Anyway, are you interested in the VLB controllers? |
| 00:47.12 | rhowe | (with normal clock of 133) |
| 00:47.16 | rhowe | wethrin: I'll give them a go, sure |
| 00:47.28 | wethrin | Okay. They're no use to me, so you're welcome to have them. |
| 00:47.31 | rhowe | wethrin: Don't have a drive to test with at the moment though |
| 00:47.40 | wethrin | No matter. You can have them anyway. |
| 00:47.51 | rhowe | OK |
| 00:48.02 | rhowe | Based on the Winbond W83759F, by any chance? |
| 00:48.11 | murb | rhowe: I may have some of those. |
| 00:48.14 | murb | VLB cards. |
| 00:48.29 | rhowe | murb: I have one, and one with a chip by someone else |
| 00:48.33 | murb | I even have a no so common PCI 486. |
| 00:48.35 | rhowe | Cirrus Logic maybe |
| 00:48.51 | murb | board still runing. |
| 00:48.59 | murb | I really should have stole the ram and put it in my new router. |
| 00:49.00 | wethrin | rhowe: Dunno |
| 00:49.09 | murb | (waiting for UPS to charge before being deployed) |
| 00:49.26 | murb | has anyone played with WDS? (as in wireless distributino system) |
| 00:50.20 | rhowe | distribution of what? |
| 00:58.42 | Leeds | hmm... Tesco time, I think |
| 00:59.05 | murble | rhowe: part of 802.11 for joining ethernets together via wireless etc. |
| 00:59.17 | murble | I need to read the standard to see if it really can do what i need. |
| 01:02.59 | rhowe | murble: Ah right, not even tried 802.11 yet :) |
| 01:03.34 | wethrin | Sleeptime |
| 01:03.35 | wethrin | g'night all |
| 01:03.54 | rhowe | repeat of 2dtv on ITV1 |
| 01:05.40 | Leeds | rhowe: TiVo caught it :-) |
| 01:06.24 | rhowe | Leeds: Did it catch Black Books? |
| 01:06.55 | Leeds | of course! |
| 01:07.17 | rhowe | Leeds: Can it be converted into some sane Interweb-friendly format? |
| 01:07.38 | Leeds | probably, since you're the second person to ask... I'll put it on my to-do list for the weekend |
| 01:08.00 | rhowe | *nod*, the Lonix meet was badly timed :) |
| 01:08.20 | Leeds | that's why I love my TiVo :-) |
| 01:10.24 | gregj | :] |
| 01:10.52 | gregj | Leeds: put me there as third |
| 01:10.54 | gregj | :] |
| 01:13.22 | Leeds | hmm... maybe time for me to learn how to make a Bittorrent :-) |
| 01:14.21 | gregj | hehe |
| 01:14.27 | gregj | and it's in python |
| 01:14.57 | Leeds | oh yeah! |
| 01:16.03 | gregj | they don't pay you to say 'why not in Java' ? |
| 01:16.04 | gregj | :> |
| 01:16.06 | gregj | ;) |
| 01:16.17 | Leeds | not too often |
| 01:16.23 | rhowe | gregj: There's a Java client, can't remember the name though |
| 01:16.28 | gregj | ;] |
| 01:16.29 | rhowe | gregj: Quite a flashy one, too |
| 01:16.40 | Leeds | there are lots of clients - the official one is the most boring |
| 01:16.42 | rhowe | One of the more active sf.net projects |
| 01:16.45 | gregj | I would like to see one for KDE |
| 01:16.51 | gregj | there's probably one even somewhere |
| 01:16.56 | gregj | but just frontend |
| 01:17.43 | Leeds | I don't think it would be that hard to write one - you could probably knock one up in pyqt quite easily |
| 01:18.41 | Leeds | "you" being someone who knew pyqt... the point is that you could reuse the backend from the official client |
| 01:30.14 | rhowe | Leeds: Really, the way to do it is port wxWindows to QT, I'd expect - then the original client will work and so will many other things :) |
| 01:31.07 | gregj | wxWindows can workwith QT |
| 01:31.09 | gregj | besides |
| 01:31.18 | gregj | QT is better designed than wxWindows |
| 01:31.29 | gregj | so there's no point writing it in wrapper on wrapper |
| 01:31.30 | gregj | :] |
| 01:31.57 | rhowe | Then the original client should be able to display using the QT widgets then :) |
| 01:32.22 | rhowe | Anyway, bedtime |
