| 00:11.17 | AngelChild | \o/ |
| 00:12.06 | rhowe | No excuse this time |
| 00:14.45 | AngelChild | "I was dead at the time" |
| 00:24.33 | Leeds | I was approximately 3520km away on another continent, contemplating my future and drinking imported hoegarden |
| 00:25.50 | AngelChild | o.o |
| 00:26.58 | Leeds | the number is from a cute roadsign at the marina, where I was tonight... |
| 00:30.51 | Leeds | amongst the things I did at the marina: discuss career issues with a bloke whose company got taken over by Yahoo!, leading to potential layoff or work elsewhere in Yahoo!, and exchanged random photos over bluetooth with strangers :-) |
| 00:31.03 | Leeds | JAV: they're uploading right now! |
| 00:31.35 | JAV | good! |
| 00:31.36 | JAV | :D |
| 00:31.53 | Leeds | unfortunately, they're uploading at about 10KB/s and I've been taking them at full whack, so over 1500KB per photo |
| 00:33.55 | JAV | interface? by hand? :D |
| 00:34.01 | Leeds | JAV: http://photos.geeksgetrevenge.com/new/ has the first few... |
| 00:34.17 | Leeds | borrowed, shared, adsl delivered over wifi |
| 00:35.26 | Leeds | the first one is my host, a friend I met online a couple of years back and met for the first time face-to-face when I arrived here on Sunday to stay with him and his wife... |
| 00:35.59 | Leeds | the others are a hotel I used to go to with my family many years ago, which I went to for a nostalgia thing - which happens to be just up the beach from the marina :-) |
| 00:36.02 | Leeds | edward: tbm? |
| 00:36.36 | edward | Martin Michlmayr |
| 00:36.49 | edward | i have no idea why his alias is tbm |
| 00:36.51 | Leeds | ah, yes... we already knew that :-) |
| 00:37.08 | edward | well i didn't. i just looked at the web page |

| 16:41.17 | Leeds | http://photos.geeksgetrevenge.com/new |
| 16:42.24 | mozrat-pl | I see a Leeds! |
| 16:42.46 | Leeds | mozrat-pl: so tell me, am I missing something? this isn't the first time I've been sent to flickr for something, and as usual, I can't see an obvious photo on that page... going to the "other sizes" page works, but there's no photo on the first page |
| 16:42.59 | Leeds | (warning, big photos on my link) |
| 16:43.15 | mozrat-pl | Leeds, flash? |
| 16:43.22 | Leeds | can you tell I was impressed by the Hoegaarden label in Hebrew? :-) |
| 16:43.26 | mozrat-pl | yes! |
| 16:43.51 | Leeds | mozrat-pl: as in macromedia? I think I have it installed, but it doesn't seem to work amazingly well |
| 16:44.56 | Leeds | where amazingly well means at all :-) |
| 16:45.22 | mozrat-pl | Leeds, yeah I think you need Flash. You are on OS right? Works for me in Safari |
| 16:45.38 | Leeds | oh, I recommend http://photos.geeksgetrevenge.com/new/IMG_0102.html - really nice sunset |
| 16:46.16 | Leeds | I don't generally use safari... I use firefox, which should work... I rarely find I miss anything important by not having flash :-) |
| 16:46.42 | mozrat-pl | Leeds, my attitude when I use Linux |
| 16:55.12 | JAV | you are missing a lot of ads without flash :D |
| 16:57.42 | JAV | almost all the signs are in Hebrew, I'll be lost there |
| 16:58.07 | JAV | mmm.. phone numbers are ok :D |

| 18:04.02 | mz2 | evening |
| 18:04.17 | mz2 | are you in the meeting? :) |
| 18:04.23 | Leeds | not quite |
| 18:04.50 | Leeds | I'm about 3500km away :-) |
| 18:05.01 | mz2 | i was there an hour ago, but got a bit bored of an infinitely long and badly prepared linux & high availability talk |
| 18:05.08 | mz2 | where is that? :) |
| 18:05.13 | Leeds | was that bruce? |
| 18:05.24 | Leeds | I'm a few miles north-east of Tel Aviv |
| 18:05.49 | mz2 | can't remember his name... but he was apparently employed by the company in which the meeting was held |
| 18:06.05 | Leeds | yeah, 'twas bruce... I'll tell him what you said later :-) |
| 18:06.39 | mz2 | good, because he needs that feedback :) i hate long, blabbery presentations with little information (you got the point from about 20% of what he said) |
| 18:06.49 | Leeds | he has, at least once in the past, given an infinitely long talk on kerberos or single-sign-on or something... |
| 18:07.46 | Leeds | you could just leave a message for him :-) say "ibot botmail for itsbruce <whatever message>" |
| 18:09.57 | mz2 | it was weird, as he seemed to be a rather experienced presenter :) |
| 18:11.07 | Leeds | well... he's a very experienced techie... |
| 18:24.56 | mz2 | it's really annoying that techies normally have no appetite for brief, concise presentation (or communication skills at all:) |
| 18:25.43 | mz2 | if in my field (biochem) things would be the same, it would have dire consequences (no drugs developed as nobody understands any of the other specialised researchers :) |
| 18:53.05 | mz2 | Leeds, what're you doing in Tel Aviv? |
| 18:53.15 | mz2 | or near Tel Aviv :) |
| 19:03.57 | Leeds | mz2: watching fast & furious 2 right now :-) |
| 19:04.15 | mz2 | lol! that's a good reason to travel, i guess :) |
| 19:04.50 | Leeds | I'm here for a) a holiday b) catching up with various friends c) nostalgia trip d) fact-finding e) jobhunting |

| 19:19.33 | Leeds | eye69: evening |
| 19:19.49 | eye69 | Hey Leeds. How's .il? |
| 19:20.00 | Leeds | pretty good |
| 19:20.22 | Leeds | warm day today, not done anything... |
| 19:20.49 | eye69 | Ok. We've had some heavy snow. |
| 19:21.09 | Leeds | lovely |
| 19:21.13 | SpudULike | Looks like the meeting was a success, lots turned up. |
| 19:21.29 | eye69 | Had to brush about 8-9cm of snow from the car, just from today. |
| 19:21.33 | Leeds | SpudULike: great... had a negative revies of bruce's talk here though... |
| 19:22.00 | SpudULike | I couldn't go, unfortunately, but John tells me he had fun. Maybe a bit crowded even. |
| 19:22.53 | SpudULike | Hmm. Anything specific against Bruce's talk? |
| 19:24.06 | Leeds | " got a bit bored of an infinitely long and badly prepared linux & high availability talk" |
| 19:25.17 | SpudULike | Badly prepared I find hard to believe. |
| 19:25.51 | SpudULike | It would have sent me to sleep though, even if presented in the nude. |
| 19:27.08 | Leeds | mmm... nude Bruce... |
| 19:42.52 | mz2 | perhaps i was a bit harsh with my critisism... :) |
| 19:49.16 | SpudULike | Tarragon <- Just back from GLLUG. Three talks. Ubuntu demo showed install. Fell asleep in QA talk three times :-( Bruces talk lasted over 90 minutes. |
| 19:49.36 | Leeds | argh... |
| 19:50.22 | SpudULike | Tarragon <- About 60 people there Most seemed to be new faces |
| 19:51.41 | Leeds | was the falling asleep the fault of the speaker or the listener? :-) |
| 19:53.08 | SpudULike | Tarragon <-Err Give the Debian guy the benefit of the doubt and say it was my fault. I am sure the QA process in Debian projects is really interesting...... |

| 20:09.37 | cup | evening |
| 20:09.45 | Leeds | evening cup |
| 20:10.34 | cup | is it possible to make usb devices automount? |
| 20:11.31 | Leeds | sure |
| 20:12.42 | cup | have any links to a howto? |
| 20:12.44 | eye69 | cup: I'm using udev and autofs for my mp3 player. Works fine. |
| 20:13.36 | cup | cool I'll look into it |
| 20:15.00 | latz | I'm having a slight problem my udev sets for some reason everytime I boot up /dev/snstat to root:root: rwxrwx--- although I set up in my /etc/udev/.....conf file it should be to root:audio |
| 20:15.07 | latz | and umask 0660 |
| 20:16.51 | Leeds | I tried udev, it did unfriendly things (turns out to be a little slackware bug, and I've seen a fix) so I untried it |
| 20:18.06 | eye69 | I've been running devfs for years, but wanted the dynamic naming that udev gives me. For instance, having the mp3 player always on /dev/archos1 |
| 20:19.59 | Leeds | oh, I like the idea in principle, but at the time my machine was unusable with the bug - I didn't hear about the fix until after I'd turned it off |
| 20:21.13 | Leeds | latz: there should really be a debug option "tell me exactly why you create a node and why you think it should have that ownership/perms" |
| 20:21.25 | latz | heehee :) |
| 20:21.42 | latz | yeah that's true! .. so you can actually see what's happening! |
| 20:22.15 | latz | cause I am possitive about the config, that all is set right there, but it's only /dev/sndstat which get's the wrong permissions! |
| 20:22.21 | latz | it's really anoying! |
| 20:22.30 | eye69 | Well, there is the udev logging... |
| 20:22.49 | eye69 | Have you turned that on? |
| 20:24.01 | latz | was turned off |
| 20:24.02 | latz | :) |
| 20:24.22 | eye69 | Ahhh. |

| 21:07.49 | Leeds | latz: I 'bought' an old hp deskjet about 5 years ago and never tried to actually use it until a couple of weeks ago - apart from the fact that it doesn't load paper (needs to be done manually) it's all working |
| 21:07.55 | latz | Leeds Bahai center is awesome! |
| 21:08.10 | Leeds | latz: I've been past it many times - never been to it |
| 21:08.48 | Leeds | maybe I should go tomorrow - that's quite a good idea |
