irclog2html for #gllug on 20050716

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

00:09.13countdrunahem! hello!
00:09.40wethrinnn Leeds
00:09.44wethrinEnjoy the weddind!
00:09.57countdrunjust checking out the list - only just realised that there was a gllug list
00:10.12countdrunchannel i mean to say!
00:10.12wethrinThere's been one for years! :)
00:10.21wethrinThere's also been one for years
00:10.36Leedsthere have been both for years :-)
00:10.43Leedszzzz
00:10.51wethrinnn
00:11.04countdrungoes to show how little i know.. been subscribed to the mailing list for a year or two
00:11.18countdrunwas searching something and - irc!
00:11.25countdrunduh!
00:11.35Leedsduh
00:11.40wethrinOkay. Don't expect much Linux-related discussion here :)
00:11.43Leedsso, hang around, chill out... etc.
00:11.52countdrunwhat to expect then?
00:12.15wethrinPubtalk without the pub atmosphere
00:12.25countdrunhow sad!
00:12.54wethrinIndeed
00:13.06wethrinBut some of us are scattered around
00:13.29countdrunspose the pubs are closed - where else to hang out?
00:14.49wethrinIndeed
00:15.09countdrunis there *any* linux discussion here?
00:15.22wethrinRarely :)
00:15.24Leedssuppose you live in Hong Kong but all your friends are in the UK...
00:15.32Leedswethrin: that's not fair
00:16.07countdrundon't get me wrong, am happy to natter about most things - just useful to have some clueful and interested people to natter to
00:16.14wethrinOkay, I see one mention of wanting Google Earth for Linux, and you with Slackintosh
00:16.20wethrin:)
00:16.26countdrunhong kong eh?
00:16.29countdrunwtf?
00:16.32Leedscountdrun: we are happy to talk about technical things - we just don't do so, most of the time
00:16.36Leedscountdrun: bras
00:16.55Leeds(is what I'm doing in HK)
00:17.20countdrunyou are in hk, or just a vivid imagination?
00:17.30wethrinHe was in HK
00:17.49countdrunok... so i missed something?
00:17.58countdrunwhere did google earth come from?
00:18.07wethrinearth.google.com IIRC
00:18.18countdrunreally?
00:18.32wethrinTry it :)
00:18.40Leedsbut only try it on windows :-(
00:18.58countdruni know all about it, just not sure why it came into conversation
00:19.09Leedscountdrun: 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
00:19.25wethrinIt came into conversation quite randomly, really
00:19.32countdrunworked that out too - wine didn't want to know
00:20.14countdrunbra manufacturer eh? in what sort of capacity?
00:21.17LeedsB-HH, mainly
00:21.52LeedsIT project manager/junior general manager
00:21.55countdrunhmmmmmmmmm...
00:21.58countdrunoh ok
00:22.22countdrunthought that might be some sort of mammary dimension i'd never heard of
00:22.36LeedsHH is pretty damn big
00:22.59countdrunyou'd have thought so, although i never did work that out
00:23.57countdruncup size/waist dimension - all too confusing really
00:24.26countdruni see what you mean about little linux discussion - i've been sucked in
00:24.29Leedsyup
00:24.45countdrunthat's chest dimension i spose
00:25.12Leedsif 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
00:25.49countdrunwelcome to any discussion with the phb!
00:26.13Leedshe has floppy hair
00:26.34countdrunstill a cnut of the highest order, no doubt
00:26.35Leedsand he's sort of my uncle-in-law, once removed, or something - which is how come I'm there at all
00:26.41countdrunoops!
00:26.47countdrunbet he's really nice!
00:27.31Leedshe is
00:27.33Leeds:-)
00:28.31countdrunwell, this has been informative! off to the pit - back soon no doubt!
00:28.34Leedsanyway, I really must sleep
00:28.37Leedsg'night

15:04.06Copehello
15:04.49CopeI want a machine in colo somewhere - nothing fancy, just need (preferably) debian and root - any ideas?
15:05.20wethrinYour own machine, or a hosted server?
15:05.49Copepreferabkly hosted
15:05.54clyphoxwhy root too? hehe
15:06.21Cope(actually this is not for me - for my family)
15:06.28Copebut I will be looking after it
15:07.04Copea 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
15:07.07clyphoxwell I just bought some hosting off blackcatnetworks.. nice guys and nice price
15:07.38Copeoh? what did it inckude?
15:07.40wethrinbytemark?
15:08.38Copemmm, bytemark definite option
15:09.00clyphoxjust a shell, dns, http, scp etc.. don't remember much else.. check their website : www.blackcatnetworks.co.uk
15:09.15Copeclyphox: but can you install your own stuff too?
15:09.17clyphoxthinking about using my f2s account actually for picture hosting
15:09.26clyphox"install" ?
15:09.39Copeyes - suppose you wanted to install some programs
15:09.46clyphoxI got them to install nano for me if that counts.. its just hosting+shell etc
15:09.57clyphoxjust ask em.. really nice guys
15:10.00Copeirssi, python, etc
15:10.01clyphox*nix boys
15:10.07clyphoxyeah its all there ;)
15:10.22resuDaedclyphox... he wants root though
15:10.24clyphoxphp, mysql even
15:10.29stephenCope: my email server is hosted with lchost.co.uk who seem fine, they also offer dedicated servers
15:11.05clyphoxI gtg :-/
15:11.48resuDaedcope, I used bytemark for a while, nothing wrong with them
15:12.01Copecool
15:13.10resuDaed#15/mo (+vat), 3GB / with a 1GB backyupythingie, root and a preinstalled distro (debian, gentoo or slackware I think)
15:13.53resuDaedwith (iirc) 15GB/mo usage
15:13.54wethrinTom!
15:14.04resuDaedDan!
15:14.17wethrinbytemmark is good if you don't want anything too CPU-intensive
15:14.22wethrinHow goes?
15:14.42resuDaedtrying to sort out getting to uni
15:16.24wethrinHow's that going?
15:16.53resuDaednot to meantion that studentsupportdirect.co.uk only works in MSIE
15:17.11resuDaedand >5.5 at that
15:17.29resuDaed(2000 installs with 5.0)
15:19.55wethrinYeah, but it's an easy upgrade through Windows Update
15:20.43murblemoing
15:21.04murbleor as sold rather.
15:21.17murblebut only to help pay his colo bills.
15:21.43Copeaha
15:23.04resuDaedwethrin, yeah, but still a waste of time and effort (after already having to reboot in to windows in the first place)
15:28.30wethrinIndeed
15:28.31wethrinHi murble
15:31.02rhowehmm, this is a really nice album for lazing out in the garden to :)

20:38.21Georgebleh
20:38.26Georgethat's two halves of an aircon unit up
20:38.58LeedsI've just got a stand-alone unit with a hose
20:39.03Georgethey suck
20:39.11Leedsnope
20:39.21Leedsit blows rather noisily :-P
20:39.28GeorgeI knew you'd say that
20:39.39Georgeanyway, I should have a 9000BTU aircon unit by tomorrow
20:39.43Georgethe condensor's up
20:39.52Georgebut the internal bit isn't mounted yet, nor the hole in the wall drilled
20:40.11Leedswhere is this?
20:40.16Georgehome
20:40.26Leedsare you not at school anymore?
20:40.28Georgeno
20:40.31GeorgeI finished three weeks ago
20:40.49Leedsbut you've got another year to go, right?
20:40.55Georgeyes
20:41.37Leedsso you're just getting it put in because you're at home over the summer...
20:41.41Georgeyes
20:42.14Leedsfair enough
20:42.46Georgeand I come home every so often...
20:42.54Leedsanyway... mine is pretty noisy, but otherwise I'm happy with it
20:42.56Georgeand my room gets exceptionally hot.
20:43.06Georgethis one is supposedly about 43dB
20:43.48Leedsmy unit in HK is a lot quieter and more effective, but it needs to be
20:44.02Georgeheh
20:44.12Georgeit'll be a two part unit I expect
20:45.27GeorgeLeeds: we got a couple of 9000 BTU aircon units for 800 GBP
20:45.29Leedssure
20:45.40Leedsmine was about 300 IIRC
20:45.50Leedsit does also do heating and dehumidifying
20:45.58Georgemine does heating
20:46.06Georgenot sure about dehumidifying
20:46.11Georgebut we have a dehumidifier...
20:46.12George:)
20:46.40Leedshumidity isn't such an issue around here - at least, not separate from heat
20:47.43rhowewhee :)
20:54.31Leedswahay
20:54.48Leedsopening up a porn site, are you?
21:57.58rhoweI'm still working on adding a "members only" section :)
21:58.19rhoweCurrently it's /home/rhowe/photos, but I guess it could be web-enabled for a suitable fee to discerning individuals :)
