| 10:24.57 | rhowe | Leeds: Seem to be |
| 10:25.09 | Leeds | is she? :-) |
| 10:25.11 | rhowe | Leeds: Monday was pretty tough, but Tuesday was quite a lot better. Went to see a friend |
| 10:25.19 | rhowe | Leeds: I think she'll be fine. Not been in touch |
| 10:25.30 | Leeds | can I ask what happened? |
| 10:25.41 | rhowe | Well, she came to Manchester to give me the ring back and left |
| 10:25.43 | rhowe | That's pretty much it |
| 10:26.03 | Leeds | I meant in a longer term sense... |
| 10:26.27 | rhowe | Leeds: Oh. About a year and a half ago I was unfaithful to her - a friend was staying with me and she climbed into my bed one night |
| 10:26.27 | Leeds | you can, of course, tell me to fuck off and mind my own business |
| 10:26.35 | Cope | woo! leeds! |
| 10:26.41 | Leeds | Cope: wahay! |
| 10:27.04 | Leeds | rhowe: I remember you mentioning it... and I guess you/she never got over it |
| 10:27.20 | Cope | Leeds: are you in sri lanka? |
| 10:27.25 | Leeds | Cope: that I am |
| 10:27.32 | Cope | Leeds: oooh! what's it like?! |
| 10:27.34 | rhowe | Leeds: She thought she could forgive & forget, but she couldn't |
| 10:27.45 | rhowe | Leeds: On top of that, I was pretty crap at the whole communication thing |
| 10:28.01 | Leeds | Cope: hot... strange... boring, outside work, so far... work is still confusing |
| 10:28.30 | Leeds | rhowe: it´s a hell of a long way to run a long distance relationship |
| 10:28.38 | rhowe | Leeds: That it be |
| 10:30.57 | Leeds | and, of course, a heavily windows-centric (except when it´s as/400-centric) world |
| 10:32.03 | Leeds | although this particular build of xchat for windows is quite usable... :-) |
| 10:32.18 | Cope | Leeds: I may be moving into a windows-centric role |
| 10:32.27 | Leeds | Cope: :-( |
| 10:32.57 | Cope | Just a reflection of how unpopular solaris is |
| 10:33.09 | Leeds | can´t argue with that :-) |
| 10:33.16 | Cope | Linux is popular, but at a level below the sort of stuff we do |
| 10:33.20 | Leeds | or maybe I´m just thinking of Solaris engineering |
| 10:34.04 | Cope | most of the linux solutions we do are pretty simple - one or two webservers, or small db systems. |
| 10:34.25 | Cope | much bigger sites were historically solaris, but now seem to be win2k3 |
| 10:34.53 | Leeds | yeah :-( |
| 10:35.09 | Cope | interesting that linux hasn't been popular in the multi-tier, large sites. |
| 10:35.13 | Cope | (yet) |
| 10:36.45 | Leeds | for me, at this point, it´s more that I find windows intolerable as a workstation for more than a short while - it´s just so limiting in so many ways |
| 10:37.51 | Cope | yes, I agree |
| 10:38.34 | Cope | does anyone know of a 'vocabulary drilling' program? |
| 10:38.38 | Leeds | mac is better, native X (don´t care so much what´s underneath as long as it´s POSIXish) is best |
| 10:38.51 | Leeds | there are many - search for ¨flash card¨ |
| 10:39.07 | Cope | ie gives you a word in $OTHER_LANGUAGE and you have to guess it |
| 10:39.48 | Leeds | flash card apps should do that, I think... I do have a rather nice free program to do that in Hebrew if it´s any use to you - Java so nice and cross-platform |
| 10:39.57 | Cope | Leeds: umm - I did; it gives 1000000000000000000000000 entries for usb / camera flash cards, even if you add -usb |
| 10:40.12 | Leeds | ah, okay |
| 10:40.42 | Leeds | for Linux or you don´t care? |
| 10:40.43 | rhowe | Leeds: heh, you're using lots of weird UTF8 characters :) |
| 10:40.49 | rhowe | Leeds: And they are displaying :) |
| 10:41.07 | rhowe | Leeds: Does “this” appear curly-quoted to you? |
| 10:41.13 | Leeds | yes |
| 10:41.22 | Leeds | I don´t know how to stop :-( |
| 10:41.24 | rhowe | woo :) |
| 10:41.32 | rhowe | Don't - convert the world to UTF8 instead |
| 10:41.38 | Cope | Leeds: linux preferably, but not fussy |
| 10:41.50 | Cope | its for learning my french vocab |
| 10:43.35 | Leeds | http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=flash+card§ion=projects&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 :-) |
| 10:44.02 | Leeds | alternatively, ISTR there was a firefox extension which would flash up words in at least a couple of European languages and ask you to translate them |
| 10:48.35 | Leeds | try granule - looks interesting, and if it can handle Russian, it should be able to deal with é |
| 10:51.10 | Leeds | è better for you? |
| 10:52.59 | Cope | not especially |
| 10:53.04 | Cope | but granule looks good |
