| 14:01.16 | Leeds | soup time! |
| 14:01.35 | Blapto | Damn you nokia! |
| 14:01.51 | Blapto | My phone has a function, when you lock the keys you can opt to need a security code to unlock them |
| 14:01.51 | Leeds | what did Nokia do to my soup? |
| 14:02.16 | Blapto | If you enter the wrong code in x times, it locks the phone for a while, even the right code won't unlock the thing |
| 14:02.33 | Leeds | so why enter the wrong code? |
| 14:02.41 | Blapto | no doubt to prevent a brute force attack, but it's still really annoying. Perhaps if it asked for the security and the pin it would be better. |
| 14:02.59 | Blapto | I didn't do it, my brother was trying to brute force it by using all numbers he associates with me. |
| 14:05.09 | Leeds | why was your brother trying to steal your phone? :-) |
| 14:05.46 | Blapto | I suppose he wanted to read the text messages I have on it. |
| 14:07.16 | Blapto | can't you just go to a chemist? |
| 14:07.50 | Leeds | got to get the prescription first |
| 14:08.00 | Blapto | Ah. |
| 14:11.47 | Leeds | mmm... soup |
| 14:12.13 | Leeds | it's the sort of soup which is at least half-way to stew :-) |

| 14:24.35 | stephanb | hi everybody |
| 14:25.01 | stephanb | i have quite a few half useless spare parts from old computers at home... |
| 14:25.31 | stephanb | cd-rom drives, scsi cables, parallel cable, 6GB HD, junk webcams, etc... |
| 14:25.51 | stephanb | what can I do with that ? |
| 14:26.04 | stephanb | charity shops won't take this |
| 14:27.36 | Leeds | honestly, either offer to give them away (the gllug list is a good place to start) or just bin them |
| 14:29.06 | stephanb | Leeds: yeah I was thinking the gllug list was a good place |
| 14:29.09 | George | stephanb: I'll take the cd-rom drives and the webcams :P |
| 14:30.04 | stephanb | George: oh xlnt. the webcams are single chip cmos very low res but are supported on linux |
| 14:30.34 | stephanb | George: fine by daylight. useless by artificial light |
| 14:33.16 | George | heh |
| 14:42.56 | Leeds | just woke up? |
| 14:49.22 | Leeds | well, it seems that skype actually works |
| 14:52.44 | stephanb | Leeds: is skype better than other voip apps? think gnomemeeting. |
| 14:53.19 | Leeds | stephanb: yes, for the very simple reason that my sister uses it - without any prompting from me - she asked me if I'd heard of it |
| 14:53.32 | Leeds | open stuff is better - but they're not entirely evil, and it's easy and works |
| 14:54.34 | stephanb | Leeds: oh i have already witnessed that. obviously skype is doing good marketing |
| 14:54.57 | stephanb | Leeds: but is it easier to use behind a firewall or router? |
| 14:55.04 | Leeds | oh, plus their firewall traversal seems to work well - that's a major flaw of existing systems |
| 14:55.06 | Leeds | :-) |
| 14:56.32 | stephanb | Leeds: oh yeah, especially NetMeeting, the most firewall *unfriendly* app you can think of. |

| 17:29.43 | wethrin | QT sucks |
| 17:30.35 | gregj | u suck |
| 17:30.44 | gregj | you like safari, don't ya |
| 17:30.51 | gregj | it's qt too and kde even |
| 17:30.51 | gregj | ;p |
| 17:30.54 | gregj | . |
| 17:31.03 | Leeds | since when is safari qt? |
| 17:31.14 | Leeds | I'm sure we've discussed this before |
| 17:31.51 | wethrin | gregj: Shh. I'm just trying to irritate George |
| 17:33.01 | Leeds | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4387525.stm |
| 17:33.01 | gregj | Leeds: ask apple |
| 17:33.18 | gregj | Leeds: rendering engine uses qt and kde |
| 17:33.58 | gregj | safari it self is native carbon |
| 17:35.44 | Leeds | I don't think the rendering layer does use QT... I think Apple wrote a shim layer so they didn't have to |
| 17:37.42 | Leeds | anyway, I'm going out for some tea |
| 18:00.02 | gregj | Leeds: they do, that's why qt released native qt3-free for mac |
| 18:01.07 | gregj | did you know that there is daemon on mac that takes care about cd and other drives mounting, unmounting, burning etc |
| 18:01.26 | gregj | I was shocked, I can't use mount command directly on mac, have to do it via some daemon |
| 18:01.37 | wethrin | Yeah. But it Just Works |
| 18:01.43 | wethrin | Stick a CD in the drive, and it mounts |
| 18:03.23 | gregj | yep |
| 18:03.29 | gregj | I didn't said I don't like it |
| 18:03.29 | wethrin | I like that :) |
| 18:03.31 | gregj | but, but |
| 18:03.52 | gregj | recently I downloaded live unbuntu CD image, and this whole disk something crashes |
| 18:03.57 | gregj | so I can't burn it on mac |
| 18:04.27 | gregj | so... |
| 18:04.29 | wethrin | Um? |
| 18:04.39 | wethrin | You need Toast to burn it |
| 18:04.39 | gregj | I don't have sources, so I can't fix it |
| 18:04.50 | wethrin | Stick blank CD in, and tell it to ignore the medium |
| 18:04.56 | gregj | yep |
| 18:05.00 | gregj | than I have to open disk manager |
| 18:05.11 | gregj | drag image into |
| 18:05.14 | gregj | and tell him to burn |
| 18:05.22 | gregj | at least according to apple support |
| 18:05.29 | wethrin | Disk Mangler? Hrm |
| 18:05.38 | wethrin | The image is just an ISO, isn't it? |
| 18:05.46 | gregj | yep |
| 18:06.07 | wethrin | Want a copy of Toast? |
| 18:06.27 | gregj | sure |
| 18:06.41 | wethrin | Okay |
