10:17.35 | rhowe | whois.registro.br is refusing my whois query for 200.160.94.28 from work, whereas it works fine from home |
10:18.15 | pdr | they're onto you mate |
10:19.11 | pdr | just had a chat with those mates of mine who were in the pub having lonix people show them a "model for hire" sign |
10:19.55 | pdr | they thought the lonix crowd were very strange and guessed that it had somethibng to do with linux when they saw me walk past with them |

10:28.14 | ibot | leeds <~richardc@80.187.146.88> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 13h 43m 17s ago, saying: '6-7 weeks'. |
10:28.32 | morsing | ibot beer |
10:28.33 | ibot | hmm... beer is ummm, ummm good!, or good for you! |
10:29.20 | axelS | mmm beer |
10:29.25 | pdr | ibot pdr |
10:29.27 | ibot | i guess pdr is not trustworthy when it comes to beer, or the physicians desk reference |
10:37.08 | rhowe | pdr: $boss has decided he doesn't much like Lonix |
10:37.30 | pdr | why's that? |
10:40.41 | highbury | is it totally impossible for them to find a quieter venue? |
10:40.47 | morsing | populate_queue.sh.07032002 |
10:41.18 | SlayerXP | i can suggest several |
10:47.17 | rhowe | pdr: Found the people a bit geeky and weird I think |
10:51.45 | morsing | ibot Leeds |
10:51.46 | ibot | [leeds] a bloke called Richard in the UK or spending too much time playing with expensive electronic toys or a genius or whatever you want him to be, or nekkid, or a place in the norf, or a rubbish footie team, or damn nearly bankrupt, or better than google. relegated :-(, or unemployed |
10:52.08 | morsing | ibot morsing |
10:52.09 | ibot | [morsing] a nice and very knowledgeable guy who often buys rounds of beer, or mozrat, or living in a virtual universe where AIX resembles Unix. |
10:52.24 | morsing | :-) |
10:53.28 | SlayerXP | ibot slayerxp |
10:53.29 | ibot | rumour has it, slayerxp is a dogmatic zealot, or a debhead and proud of it no doubt! |
10:53.56 | SlayerXP | utter lies |
10:56.50 | rhowe | Richard should've landed around about now |
10:57.16 | wethrin | yeah |
10:57.23 | wethrin | might take him a bit of time to get onto IRC |
10:58.54 | pdr | i'd say it'll take about 3 hours |
10:59.00 | pdr | maybe less |
10:59.27 | rhowe | It's 40 minutes to Central |
10:59.47 | rhowe | So say it takes him an hour and a quarter to get off the plane and into town |
11:00.05 | rhowe | There's no wifi on the Airport Express, AFAIK. Not sure about the airport itself |

12:37.42 | itsbruce | Ah, fuck Scan. Why was I so insane as to ever try ordering from them again? |
12:37.55 | pdr | probably because they're cheap |
12:38.15 | itsbruce | Fuck them with large objects with rusty nails stuck in them |
12:39.21 | itsbruce | For the hassle, time-wasting, hair loss and general aging, it's cheaper to go to TCR. |
12:40.17 | pdr | about right. an hour up and down TCR and you can find a price cheaper than scan and you get the product there and then |
12:45.17 | pdr | ebay and amazon are good options too, if TCR is out of the way |

13:57.36 | Leeds | just a little |
13:58.01 | rhowe | How many cold showers? :) |
13:59.48 | Leeds | one |
14:00.05 | Leeds | although only because the hot water was misbehaving :-) |
14:02.38 | morsing | ibot change 400 USD to GBP |
14:05.18 | rhowe | in the summer the water is often warm enough to shower in without it being heated |
14:06.19 | pdr | apparently, the UK is one of the few European coutnries that doesn't heat its water before distribution |
14:06.57 | pdr | which is why there are often issues with burst pipes on the streets |
14:07.02 | pdr | in winter |
14:08.57 | Leeds | well, the water was cold, but not unbearably so |
