00:29.16Leeds"Die, Westlife, die!"
00:29.25rhoweheh, neat. A friend now has 24/7 access to mcc.ac.uk's machine room :)
00:29.38wethrin"No, it's German for 'The, Bart, The'"
00:31.35rhowewethrin: Hrm...
00:31.42rhowewethrin: I have a P75 CPU which may or may not work
00:31.49rhoweI got it for free and have no motherboard for it..
00:31.51wethrinNo...I'm looking for something that works
00:32.01wethrinI have an Athlon 500 that sometimes works
00:32.03rhoweAh, in that case no :)
00:32.07wethrin:)
00:32.17rhoweOnly thing I have in that regard is a 486DX2-66, which I want to keep :)
00:32.40ClyphoxI like DX2's
00:33.00rhoweFanless DX2, no less
00:33.04rhoweMight even be an Intel chip
00:33.13ClyphoxRA =)
00:34.39rhoweNo 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
00:35.26ClyphoxPCI is SOOOO sweet when you don't have it
00:35.40wethrinHmm.....VLB.....
00:36.23murbrhowe: for late night ircing?
00:38.29ClyphoxAnyone know Cope's email? I'm going offline and away from home for a week.. need to mail him stuff
00:38.30rhowemurb: I have my Duron 1.1 for that :)
00:41.11Clyphoxanyone?
00:42.04wethrinrhowe: I've got two VLB controller cards
00:42.18Clyphoxibot: Cope
00:42.19i 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
00:42.27Clyphoxbah
00:42.35rhoweClyphox: Lemme double-check
00:42.59murbwethrin: I have a spare pentium motherboard.
00:43.06murband cpu.
00:43.12rhoweClyphox: Your lucky day
00:43.21rhoweFrom: Steve Nelson <sanelson@wibbleworld.demon.co.uk>
00:43.21rhoweTo: social@gllug.org.uk
00:43.42wethrinmurb: Excellent. What spec CPU?
00:43.45murbhmm I'm not no that list, is it archived.
00:44.02murbwethrin: 133Mhz Citrix PR ratting is 166 I think.
00:44.13murbs/Citrix/Cyrix/
00:44.18rhowemurb: I have an mbox going back about 20-30 messages, but that's it :)
00:44.19wethrinHm. ATX or AT?
00:44.25murbboth.
00:44.56rhoweList-Archive: <http://lists.gllug.org.uk/pipermail/social>
00:44.56murbwethrin: sort of cross generation.
00:44.56wethrinHmm...I've got a Cyrix 150
00:44.56murbis that the PR speed or not?
00:45.03wethrinWhich I think is also hybrid
00:45.13wethrinHmm.....can't remember.
00:45.26Clyphoxrhowe: Thanks sir
00:45.45wethrinHopefully it'll take the UDMA-100 controller card.
00:45.53wethrinI've got a 233MMX which didn't like it
00:46.00rhowewethrin: I have a PR166+, normal clock of 150, and clocked down to 133
00:46.17rhoweAt least that's what I think it is
00:46.52wethrinHm.
00:47.06rhoweMight be 120
00:47.10wethrinAnyway, are you interested in the VLB controllers?
00:47.12rhowe(with normal clock of 133)
00:47.16rhowewethrin: I'll give them a go, sure
00:47.28wethrinOkay. They're no use to me, so you're welcome to have them.
00:47.31rhowewethrin: Don't have a drive to test with at the moment though
00:47.40wethrinNo matter. You can have them anyway.
00:47.51rhoweOK
00:48.02rhoweBased on the Winbond W83759F, by any chance?
00:48.11murbrhowe: I may have some of those.
00:48.14murbVLB cards.
00:48.29rhowemurb: I have one, and one with a chip by someone else
00:48.33murbI even have a no so common PCI 486.
00:48.35rhoweCirrus Logic maybe
00:48.51murbboard still runing.
00:48.59murbI really should have stole the ram and put it in my new router.
00:49.00wethrinrhowe: Dunno
00:49.09murb(waiting for UPS to charge before being deployed)
00:49.26murbhas anyone played with WDS? (as in wireless distributino system)
00:50.20rhowedistribution of what?
00:58.42Leedshmm... Tesco time, I think
00:59.05murblerhowe: part of 802.11 for joining ethernets together via wireless etc.
00:59.17murbleI need to read the standard to see if it really can do what i need.
01:02.59rhowemurble: Ah right, not even tried 802.11 yet :)
01:03.34wethrinSleeptime
01:03.35wethring'night all
01:03.54rhowerepeat of 2dtv on ITV1
01:05.40Leedsrhowe: TiVo caught it :-)
01:06.24rhoweLeeds: Did it catch Black Books?
01:06.55Leedsof course!
01:07.17rhoweLeeds: Can it be converted into some sane Interweb-friendly format?
01:07.38Leedsprobably, since you're the second person to ask... I'll put it on my to-do list for the weekend
01:08.00rhowe*nod*, the Lonix meet was badly timed :)
01:08.20Leedsthat's why I love my TiVo :-)
01:10.24gregj:]
01:10.52gregjLeeds: put me there as third
01:10.54gregj:]
01:13.22Leedshmm... maybe time for me to learn how to make a Bittorrent :-)
01:14.21gregjhehe
01:14.27gregjand it's in python
01:14.57Leedsoh yeah!
01:16.03gregjthey don't pay you to say  'why not in Java' ?
01:16.04gregj:>
01:16.06gregj;)
01:16.17Leedsnot too often
01:16.23rhowegregj: There's a Java client, can't remember the name though
01:16.28gregj;]
01:16.29rhowegregj: Quite a flashy one, too
01:16.40Leedsthere are lots of clients - the official one is the most boring
01:16.42rhoweOne of the more active sf.net projects
01:16.45gregjI would like to see one for KDE
01:16.51gregjthere's probably one even somewhere
01:16.56gregjbut just frontend
01:17.43LeedsI don't think it would be that hard to write one - you could probably knock one up in pyqt quite easily
01:18.41Leeds"you" being someone who knew pyqt... the point is that you could reuse the backend from the official client
01:30.14rhoweLeeds: 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 :)
01:31.07gregjwxWindows can workwith QT
01:31.09gregjbesides
01:31.18gregjQT is better designed than wxWindows
01:31.29gregjso there's no point writing it in wrapper on wrapper
01:31.30gregj:]
01:31.57rhoweThen the original client should be able to display using the QT widgets then :)
01:32.22rhoweAnyway, bedtime
