| 00:00.19 | Leeds | anyway, the slack-mac is sort of working... |
| 00:00.37 | wethrin | hurrah! |
| 00:01.08 | Leeds | the default framebuffer mode upsets my monitor, so I need to start x to actually see a screen... |
| 00:01.19 | Leeds | and it seems to have a limited set of usb drivers... |
| 00:01.36 | wethrin | So not that great, then? |
| 00:02.02 | Leeds | well, it is a shitty old monitor |
| 00:02.10 | Leeds | and I plan to do tv-out with it anyway... |
| 00:02.34 | Leeds | and the driver issue should just be a case of building a new kernel - not rocket science |
| 00:06.43 | Leeds | anyway, it is now time for sleeping, given that I'm going to the synagogue in the morning |

| 00:09.13 | countdrun | ahem! hello! |
| 00:09.40 | wethrin | nn Leeds |
| 00:09.44 | wethrin | Enjoy the weddind! |
| 00:09.57 | countdrun | just checking out the list - only just realised that there was a gllug list |
| 00:10.12 | countdrun | channel i mean to say! |
| 00:10.12 | wethrin | There's been one for years! :) |
| 00:10.21 | wethrin | There's also been one for years |
| 00:10.36 | Leeds | there have been both for years :-) |
| 00:10.43 | Leeds | zzzz |
| 00:10.51 | wethrin | nn |
| 00:11.04 | countdrun | goes to show how little i know.. been subscribed to the mailing list for a year or two |
| 00:11.18 | countdrun | was searching something and - irc! |
| 00:11.25 | countdrun | duh! |
| 00:11.35 | Leeds | duh |
| 00:11.40 | wethrin | Okay. Don't expect much Linux-related discussion here :) |
| 00:11.43 | Leeds | so, hang around, chill out... etc. |
| 00:11.52 | countdrun | what to expect then? |
| 00:12.15 | wethrin | Pubtalk without the pub atmosphere |
| 00:12.25 | countdrun | how sad! |
| 00:12.54 | wethrin | Indeed |
| 00:13.06 | wethrin | But some of us are scattered around |
| 00:13.29 | countdrun | spose the pubs are closed - where else to hang out? |
| 00:14.49 | wethrin | Indeed |
| 00:15.09 | countdrun | is there *any* linux discussion here? |
| 00:15.22 | wethrin | Rarely :) |
| 00:15.24 | Leeds | suppose you live in Hong Kong but all your friends are in the UK... |
| 00:15.32 | Leeds | wethrin: that's not fair |
| 00:16.07 | countdrun | don't get me wrong, am happy to natter about most things - just useful to have some clueful and interested people to natter to |
| 00:16.14 | wethrin | Okay, I see one mention of wanting Google Earth for Linux, and you with Slackintosh |
| 00:16.20 | wethrin | :) |
| 00:16.26 | countdrun | hong kong eh? |
| 00:16.29 | countdrun | wtf? |
| 00:16.32 | Leeds | countdrun: we are happy to talk about technical things - we just don't do so, most of the time |
| 00:16.36 | Leeds | countdrun: bras |
| 00:16.55 | Leeds | (is what I'm doing in HK) |
| 00:17.20 | countdrun | you are in hk, or just a vivid imagination? |
| 00:17.30 | wethrin | He was in HK |
| 00:17.49 | countdrun | ok... so i missed something? |
| 00:17.58 | countdrun | where did google earth come from? |
| 00:18.07 | wethrin | earth.google.com IIRC |
| 00:18.18 | countdrun | really? |
| 00:18.32 | wethrin | Try it :) |
| 00:18.40 | Leeds | but only try it on windows :-( |
| 00:18.58 | countdrun | i know all about it, just not sure why it came into conversation |
| 00:19.09 | Leeds | countdrun: I've spent the past 10 weeks or so in Hong Kong and Sri Lanka working for a bra manufacturer... and I'm going back in a couple of weeks |
| 00:19.25 | wethrin | It came into conversation quite randomly, really |
| 00:19.32 | countdrun | worked that out too - wine didn't want to know |
| 00:20.14 | countdrun | bra manufacturer eh? in what sort of capacity? |
| 00:21.17 | Leeds | B-HH, mainly |
| 00:21.52 | Leeds | IT project manager/junior general manager |
| 00:21.55 | countdrun | hmmmmmmmmm... |
| 00:21.58 | countdrun | oh ok |
| 00:22.22 | countdrun | thought that might be some sort of mammary dimension i'd never heard of |
| 00:22.36 | Leeds | HH is pretty damn big |
| 00:22.59 | countdrun | you'd have thought so, although i never did work that out |
| 00:23.57 | countdrun | cup size/waist dimension - all too confusing really |
| 00:24.26 | countdrun | i see what you mean about little linux discussion - i've been sucked in |
| 00:24.29 | Leeds | yup |
| 00:24.45 | countdrun | that's chest dimension i spose |
| 00:25.12 | Leeds | if it helps, almost all of my bra-related work has either been on Linux, or involved me moaning about how much easier/better/cheaper it would be if done on Linux |
| 00:25.49 | countdrun | welcome to any discussion with the phb! |
| 00:26.13 | Leeds | he has floppy hair |
| 00:26.34 | countdrun | still a cnut of the highest order, no doubt |
| 00:26.35 | Leeds | and he's sort of my uncle-in-law, once removed, or something - which is how come I'm there at all |
| 00:26.41 | countdrun | oops! |
| 00:26.47 | countdrun | bet he's really nice! |
| 00:27.31 | Leeds | he is |
| 00:27.33 | Leeds | :-) |
| 00:28.31 | countdrun | well, this has been informative! off to the pit - back soon no doubt! |
| 00:28.34 | Leeds | anyway, I really must sleep |
| 00:28.37 | Leeds | g'night |
| 00:28.40 | countdrun | indeedy |
| 00:28.42 | countdrun | later |

| 15:03.29 | rhowe | How can you do a remake of Siworae?! |
| 15:04.06 | Cope | hello |
| 15:04.49 | Cope | I want a machine in colo somewhere - nothing fancy, just need (preferably) debian and root - any ideas? |
| 15:05.20 | wethrin | Your own machine, or a hosted server? |
| 15:05.49 | Cope | preferabkly hosted |
| 15:05.54 | clyphox | why root too? hehe |
| 15:06.21 | Cope | (actually this is not for me - for my family) |
| 15:06.28 | Cope | but I will be looking after it |
| 15:07.04 | Cope | a slice on a virtual machine will be fine - its not going to be doing anything very heavy, but I want to be able to do my own stuff on it too - python, irc, etc |
| 15:07.07 | clyphox | well I just bought some hosting off blackcatnetworks.. nice guys and nice price |
| 15:07.38 | Cope | oh? what did it inckude? |
| 15:07.40 | wethrin | bytemark? |
| 15:08.38 | Cope | mmm, bytemark definite option |
| 15:09.00 | clyphox | just a shell, dns, http, scp etc.. don't remember much else.. check their website : www.blackcatnetworks.co.uk |
| 15:09.15 | Cope | clyphox: but can you install your own stuff too? |
| 15:09.17 | clyphox | thinking about using my f2s account actually for picture hosting |
| 15:09.26 | clyphox | "install" ? |
| 15:09.39 | Cope | yes - suppose you wanted to install some programs |
| 15:09.46 | clyphox | I got them to install nano for me if that counts.. its just hosting+shell etc |
| 15:09.57 | clyphox | just ask em.. really nice guys |
| 15:10.00 | Cope | irssi, python, etc |
| 15:10.01 | clyphox | *nix boys |
| 15:10.07 | clyphox | yeah its all there ;) |
| 15:10.22 | resuDaed | clyphox... he wants root though |
| 15:10.24 | clyphox | php, mysql even |
| 15:10.29 | stephen | Cope: my email server is hosted with lchost.co.uk who seem fine, they also offer dedicated servers |
| 15:11.05 | clyphox | I gtg :-/ |
| 15:11.48 | resuDaed | cope, I used bytemark for a while, nothing wrong with them |
| 15:12.01 | Cope | cool |
| 15:13.10 | resuDaed | #15/mo (+vat), 3GB / with a 1GB backyupythingie, root and a preinstalled distro (debian, gentoo or slackware I think) |
| 15:13.53 | resuDaed | with (iirc) 15GB/mo usage |
| 15:13.54 | wethrin | Tom! |
| 15:14.04 | resuDaed | Dan! |
| 15:14.17 | wethrin | bytemmark is good if you don't want anything too CPU-intensive |
| 15:14.22 | wethrin | How goes? |
| 15:14.42 | resuDaed | trying to sort out getting to uni |
| 15:16.24 | wethrin | How's that going? |
| 15:16.53 | resuDaed | not to meantion that studentsupportdirect.co.uk only works in MSIE |
| 15:17.11 | resuDaed | and >5.5 at that |
| 15:17.29 | resuDaed | (2000 installs with 5.0) |
| 15:19.55 | wethrin | Yeah, but it's an easy upgrade through Windows Update |
| 15:20.43 | murble | moing |
| 15:21.04 | murble | or as sold rather. |
| 15:21.17 | murble | but only to help pay his colo bills. |
| 15:21.43 | Cope | aha |
| 15:23.04 | resuDaed | wethrin, yeah, but still a waste of time and effort (after already having to reboot in to windows in the first place) |
| 15:28.30 | wethrin | Indeed |
| 15:28.31 | wethrin | Hi murble |
| 15:31.02 | rhowe | hmm, this is a really nice album for lazing out in the garden to :) |

| 20:38.26 | George | that's two halves of an aircon unit up |
| 20:38.58 | Leeds | I've just got a stand-alone unit with a hose |
| 20:39.03 | George | they suck |
| 20:39.11 | Leeds | nope |
| 20:39.21 | Leeds | it blows rather noisily :-P |
| 20:39.28 | George | I knew you'd say that |
| 20:39.39 | George | anyway, I should have a 9000BTU aircon unit by tomorrow |
| 20:39.43 | George | the condensor's up |
| 20:39.52 | George | but the internal bit isn't mounted yet, nor the hole in the wall drilled |
| 20:40.11 | Leeds | where is this? |
| 20:40.16 | George | home |
| 20:40.26 | Leeds | are you not at school anymore? |
| 20:40.28 | George | no |
| 20:40.31 | George | I finished three weeks ago |
| 20:40.49 | Leeds | but you've got another year to go, right? |
| 20:40.55 | George | yes |
| 20:41.37 | Leeds | so you're just getting it put in because you're at home over the summer... |
| 20:41.41 | George | yes |
| 20:42.14 | Leeds | fair enough |
| 20:42.46 | George | and I come home every so often... |
| 20:42.54 | Leeds | anyway... mine is pretty noisy, but otherwise I'm happy with it |
| 20:42.56 | George | and my room gets exceptionally hot. |
| 20:43.06 | George | this one is supposedly about 43dB |
| 20:43.48 | Leeds | my unit in HK is a lot quieter and more effective, but it needs to be |
| 20:44.02 | George | heh |
| 20:44.12 | George | it'll be a two part unit I expect |
| 20:45.27 | George | Leeds: we got a couple of 9000 BTU aircon units for 800 GBP |
| 20:45.29 | Leeds | sure |
| 20:45.40 | Leeds | mine was about 300 IIRC |
| 20:45.50 | Leeds | it does also do heating and dehumidifying |
| 20:45.58 | George | mine does heating |
| 20:46.06 | George | not sure about dehumidifying |
| 20:46.11 | George | but we have a dehumidifier... |
| 20:46.12 | George | :) |
| 20:46.40 | Leeds | humidity isn't such an issue around here - at least, not separate from heat |
| 20:47.43 | rhowe | whee :) |
| 20:54.31 | Leeds | wahay |
| 20:54.48 | Leeds | opening up a porn site, are you? |
| 21:57.58 | rhowe | I'm still working on adding a "members only" section :) |
