12:58.07 | Blapto | I did some calculus this morning, so now I can say that I've done a couple of hours revision. |
12:58.18 | Blapto | George, we were discussing who is here because they aren't working. |
12:58.37 | George | I've got an article to write today |

12:59.44 | George | no |
12:59.50 | SlayerXP | Dating Tips for KDE Developers: Why personal hygiene is important. |
12:59.52 | George | it's about setting up xinerama/twinview/etc |
13:00.04 | SlayerXP | why not right about something useful instead |
13:00.07 | SlayerXP | write |
13:00.11 | Blapto | Same thing. Chicks dig twinview. |

13:07.00 | Blapto | I'm not fussed about spelling, as long as I can say it right. I don't know enough German to write a letter or anything, just to ask my way to the chemist etc. |
13:07.54 | George | Blapto: calculus? whatever for? |
13:08.03 | Blapto | Revision. |
13:08.09 | George | bahahahahaha |
13:08.44 | Blapto | Well, you see, I was looking at this 0.5km 0.5km field |
13:09.02 | Blapto | And I though "If I can travel at 5km/h along the side, and 3km/h through the muddy field |
13:09.13 | Jang- | George: if you could get xinerama and composites, i'd read your article :) |
13:09.16 | Blapto | what would be the fastest path between this corner and the one diagonally opposite?" |
13:10.39 | George | Jang-: I have twinview and composite... :) |
13:10.51 | Leeds | right, library and doctor's |

15:05.06 | rdancer | hi, Leeds |
15:05.31 | rdancer | shop? |
15:07.01 | Leeds | ship |
15:09.08 | Leeds | well, the site says shop, but they mean ship |
15:12.09 | rdancer | they sound a bit bombostic |
15:12.46 | Leeds | well, they're Spanish :-) |
15:12.54 | rdancer | and, ain't ferries nowadays just big shopping centres anyways? |
15:13.15 | rdancer | bloody sponish foreigners, go bock to your country! |
15:13.40 | Leeds | nah, these are small, fast, intercontinental ferries - there's a tuck shop, but that's about it |
15:14.21 | rdancer | why one uses ship instead of plane, anyway? |
15:14.38 | rdancer | i've never used either 8-) |
15:15.10 | Leeds | because if it's a 35-minute journey on a ship, it's not really worth taking a plane - in this case :-) |
15:15.45 | rdancer | then, intercontinental as in gibraltar?? |
15:15.54 | Leeds | yes |
15:15.58 | rdancer | aha |
15:16.20 | Leeds | in general, if you're not in a hurry - they're cheaper and, frankly, more fun than planes |

19:53.25 | Leeds | mozrat: I'm gonna say, with all my professional instincts, that no, it doesn't sound like a good thing |
19:53.36 | mozrat | *writes.that.down* |
19:53.38 | mozrat | thanks leeds |
19:53.48 | Leeds | on the other hand, doesn't sound amazingly well hidden :-) |
19:54.13 | mozrat | well, indeed |
19:54.22 | mozrat | Mr intruder managed to kill off sshd |
19:54.40 | mozrat | when Mr customer restarted his server it wouldn't load as the rootkit detection foo kicked in |
19:54.52 | mozrat | and wouldn't load init |
19:55.23 | Leeds | sounds like good rootkit detection foo |
19:55.57 | mozrat | yeah. not sure how it managed to detect it |
19:56.04 | mozrat | before init starts.. is that possible? |
19:56.56 | Leeds | you could hack something into the kernel to, say, checksum /etc/inittab and fail to boot if it's changed |
19:57.26 | Leeds | or for that matter, checksum init :-) |
19:57.37 | mozrat | hmmm |
19:58.23 | Leeds | actually, checksumming init would be quite useful |
19:58.30 | Leeds | you could also trivially do it in an initrd |
19:59.34 | mozrat | OK - help me with this one -- I have a 11GB tar.bz2 archive on a Apple 10.2.8 server where tar doesn't have bzip2 support |
19:59.37 | mozrat | and I need one file... |
20:00.04 | mozrat | tar --use-compress-prog=bzip2 xf foo.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to work |
20:00.06 | Leeds | bunzip2 -cd foo.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - tarroot/file |
20:00.32 | mozrat | do I need 11GB of free space to be able to do that |
20:00.36 | mozrat | 11GB+ |
20:01.02 | Leeds | you shouldn't, no - it runs over a pipeline... might (in fact, will) take a while, and possible lots of memory... |

21:57.21 | wethrin | I've been to one radio, and 2 TVs of DR |
21:57.25 | Blapto | TV |
21:57.32 | Blapto | The warm-up act. |
21:57.39 | Blapto | Black guy, I forget his name. |
21:57.47 | Blapto | He was excellent. |
21:58.02 | wethrin | Cool. The one that did the Christmas 2003 specials wasn't that great |
21:59.06 | Blapto | Is Chimes a gllug thing or a private thing wethrin? |
21:59.33 | wethrin | Yes-ish |
21:59.47 | Blapto | ish to which? |
21:59.47 | wethrin | I've meant to announce it on the Social mailing list |
21:59.50 | Leeds | wethrin: give him my seat :-) |
21:59.51 | wethrin | Both :) |
21:59.59 | wethrin | Leeds: Okay :) |
22:00.04 | Leeds | but don't forget to card him |
22:00.15 | wethrin | It's the day after my birthday |
22:00.21 | wethrin | But I fancy going somewhere nice with geeks |
22:00.46 | Blapto | Perhaps a slight issue in that I'm a minor... |
22:00.54 | wethrin | Ahh |
22:01.14 | wethrin | That could be an issue ther,e yes |
22:01.29 | Blapto | Haven't had an issue for the last 6 months or so, and I won't shave in the morning but do you know if they are especially strict in there? |
22:01.39 | wethrin | I honestly have no idea |
22:02.14 | Blapto | Is it a crowd? |
22:02.21 | wethrin | Small one |
22:02.26 | wethrin | It's a restaurant too |
22:02.31 | wethrin | So we shall be having excellent food |
22:02.41 | wethrin | Beware the wallet, for she will be lightened |
22:02.44 | Blapto | Ah, that makes it legal then :) |
22:03.25 | Blapto | I'm used to performing cpr on the wallet as of late |
22:03.30 | wethrin | Okay |
22:04.27 | Blapto | I've had strange experiences with cider |
22:04.37 | Blapto | It's just the sort of stuff that you drink but don't notice. |
22:04.42 | wethrin | Yes. Yes, it is |
22:04.44 | wethrin | Unless it's shit cider |
22:04.47 | wethrin | which I don't drink |
22:05.41 | Blapto | Had a terrible experience with it New Years, friend got so drunk he passed out and vomited everywhere. It was in his house, so his mum kind of noticed the stench and hasn't let him forget it 4 months on... |
22:06.35 | wethrin | Ahh. We will stop you drinking that much |
22:06.49 | Blapto | Well yeah, I need to get home. |
22:07.27 | wethrin | We all do |
22:07.51 | Blapto | Although apparently Victoria station can be quite interesting at night ;) |
22:09.07 | wethrin | I go up to the station, aand down to the tubes |
22:09.11 | wethrin | It's not so bad around 11 |
22:09.32 | Blapto | What will the timings be, roughly? |
22:11.02 | wethrin | Beer O'clock onwards |
22:12.12 | Blapto | I don't think that features on my watch :( |
22:16.16 | wethrin | After-work for people with jobs. So probably about 6ish |
22:20.29 | Blapto | Sounds doable |
22:20.42 | Blapto | I'd best be off, I'll be in here tomorrow night |
22:20.43 | Blapto | see you |
22:22.34 | wethrin | nn! |
