07:43.11 | Leeds | yay |
07:49.17 | Leeds | Lonix next week - be there, or be polygonal |
07:50.21 | pdr | yeah, i think i might be busy... |
07:50.43 | Leeds | bah |
07:50.59 | Leeds | missing my going-away drinks? |
07:51.27 | Leeds | unless she's hot, I'm not impressed :-) |
07:51.27 | pdr | no, will be there. it's actually tonight i'm out - and i don't have proper shoes on nor have i had a shave.. |
07:51.36 | pdr | :-) |
07:51.59 | pdr | i hate getting into work early |
07:53.39 | Leeds | I hate work... |
07:53.45 | Leeds | oh, and shaving |
07:54.28 | pdr | thing is, we're probably going to posh-ish pubs tonight - like vertigo 42 (top floor of natwest tower) |
07:54.43 | pdr | so i'll have to go home first |
07:54.57 | Leeds | ah, okay |
07:56.44 | pdr | i don't think well in the morning so forgot totally |
07:56.55 | pdr | how've you been anyway? |
07:57.23 | Leeds | I'm pretty good... |
07:57.44 | Leeds | temporarily rich... stopped the injections for now... going to HK next week... |
07:57.44 | pdr | so you've made up your mind and you're heading over to .il then? |
07:57.56 | pdr | ah, i see |
07:58.13 | Leeds | nope, .hk for now |
07:58.16 | pdr | you don't need the injections? or what? |
07:58.38 | pdr | rich == your redundo payout? |
07:58.57 | Leeds | seems I don't - I've not actually injected for about 18 days now |
07:59.07 | pdr | cool |
07:59.10 | Leeds | I'm still testing regularly, and things are very stable in the normal zone :-) |
07:59.25 | Leeds | yup, redundo payment, plus some pre-payment from the folks in HK |
08:00.46 | Leeds | the plan right now is to go out there for 6/7 weeks or so, see the office, see the work, go to .lk and see the factory - see what they need, if I think it's right for me, if they think I'm right for it, then come back for a bit and maybe go out there for longer - year +- |
08:02.11 | pdr | sounds great |
08:02.24 | pdr | very reasonable from the sounds of it |
08:02.30 | pdr | do you think you'll like it out there? |
08:03.22 | pdr | my mum lives in macau (an hour on a ferry from HK) and she loves it out there |
08:03.33 | Leeds | I liked HK a lot when I was out there last time - but that was 3 days as a tourist, not weeks (or longer) as a worker |
08:03.53 | Leeds | Sri Lanka I have no idea about - I don't know where the factory is, what sort of facilities they've got, nothing |
08:05.22 | pdr | just hope it's not in the north of sri lanka |
08:05.50 | Leeds | I would assume it's nowhere really silly |

08:43.53 | SlayerXP | do I get extra points if I mug the ubuntu bloke and set fire to his wares? |
08:44.44 | murb | no. |
08:44.56 | gregj | yes |
08:45.14 | gregj | http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2005/04/microsoft-and-me.html |
08:45.30 | murb | SlayerXP: depends how stylish the attack is. |
08:46.47 | SlayerXP | a stealth-ninja attack I expect |
08:47.09 | SlayerXP | one leaving the assailee paralyzed from the neck up |
08:47.30 | SlayerXP | though if he's pro-ubuntu it might be hard to tell |
08:50.17 | gregj | punch him once from me too, if he's using gnome |
08:58.22 | pdr | why so antagonistic towards ubuntu and gnome? |
08:58.54 | pdr | no-one's forcing you to use either |
08:59.29 | gregj | :] |
09:00.26 | SlayerXP | people are forcing me to deal with the resultant idiocy |
09:00.42 | gregj | I don't like distros that favour only one desktop, fortunately some KDE folks arrived with help and formed kubuntu |
09:00.45 | SlayerXP | i.e. you spend 20 minutes helping someone on #debian with a problem that turns out to be ubuntu specific |
09:01.08 | SlayerXP | then they whine that "it's like debian! it's based on debian!" |
09:01.25 | SlayerXP | then I offer to replace their oxygen supply with ozone |
09:01.33 | SlayerXP | "it's like oxygen! it's based on oxygen!!" |
09:01.54 | pdr | gregj: kubuntu was partly funded by canonical too |
09:02.13 | gregj | and is now part of ubuntu |
09:02.23 | pdr | SlayerXP: just point them to #ubuntu |
09:02.27 | gregj | which is great, but why it didn't happend in first place |
09:02.32 | SlayerXP | pdr: we do. |
09:02.55 | pdr | yeah, well, you can't stop stupidity anywhere |
09:03.00 | SlayerXP | we get he same thing with knoppix, too |
09:03.06 | pdr | i'd bet |
09:03.25 | SlayerXP | and then we get the complaints that #ubuntu or #knoppix are dead |
09:04.18 | pdr | hmm.. 479 users doesn't sound like dead to me |
09:05.03 | SlayerXP | it varies |
09:05.10 | SlayerXP | #debian averages about 850-900 |
09:05.24 | SlayerXP | it's a little bit quiet today |
09:06.18 | pdr | gregj: the intention was always to make ubuntu flexible enough to allow for many derivative distros like kubuntu. it was decided that focusing on choosing one mail server, one desktop environment, etc was better for their support business model |
09:06.54 | pdr | SlayerXP: ooh, is it a numbers competition now? |
09:08.49 | SlayerXP | isn't it always? :) |

09:57.39 | rhowe | Leeds: Convenient, that Lonix decided to have their meeting the day before you fly |
09:57.57 | Leeds | rhowe: indeed it is - I was sort of hoping that would happen so I'd have convenient leaving drinks :-) |
09:58.05 | rhowe | Leeds: I was going to suggest that we have a gllug social, but we may as well just use Lonix for that :) |
09:59.57 | Leeds | I actually have a meeting that evening at 6pm at Staples Corner, so I probably won't be in town until 7:30/8:00 |

10:32.35 | Leeds | yes, "but little attention is paid to this aspect of the holiday" |
10:33.46 | mikejw | right :D |
10:34.03 | mikejw | sorry I was skimming a little bit |
10:35.22 | Leeds | it's really all about the exodus |
10:35.46 | wethrin | Database systems suck |
10:36.12 | mikejw | Leeds: not the jabber client I presume ;) |
10:36.23 | Leeds | not so much |

10:36.49 | mikejw | *avoid |
10:37.08 | Leeds | mikejw: what are you doing now? |
10:37.16 | mikejw | "computing" |
10:37.35 | mikejw | but it's only the first year |
10:37.40 | Leeds | so where does business school come into that? |
10:39.57 | mikejw | I was just joking really. I meant the "information systems" side of things. |
10:40.19 | Leeds | ah |
10:40.34 | mikejw | :) |
10:41.23 | Leeds | because I did joint honours economics and comp. sci. in my first year - dropped the economics at the end of the year because it was hard work :-) |
10:42.38 | wethrin | Ahhh |
10:44.25 | mikejw | Leeds: oh cool |
10:45.03 | mikejw | I guess I feel more at home with the technical stuff, plus that end of my school seems much better organised :D |
10:47.18 | Leeds | economics is far more interesting than comp. sci. - but is harder work, and I'm never one to avoid shying away from hard work |

12:36.44 | mozrat | So I can test if it exists or not, but not search for objects based on a criteria :( |

12:59.20 | Leeds | mozrat: something like indexof - but that might not work for dictionaries |
13:00.15 | Leeds | maybe that's only lists |

14:59.09 | Leeds | bah, you're using it wrong! |

15:04.59 | JAV | first sample |
15:06.30 | Leeds | playing okay here, once I told firefox to pass the download onto realplayer, and told realplayer to download the new needed codec |
15:07.42 | Leeds | mplayer still doesn't like it :-( |
15:07.45 | JAV | linux realplayer? |
15:07.59 | Leeds | os x |
15:13.36 | JAV | no update codecs option here. It looks like they lost a customer :D |
15:13.51 | Leeds | it popped up a window for me asking to download the new codec |
15:14.44 | JAV | here it says "obsolete codec" |
