| 10:16.54 | mozrat | was it good? |
| 10:24.00 | wethrin | Oh yes |
| 10:24.06 | wethrin | We went to chimes. I had a tasty pie |

| 11:59.01 | Leeds | mozrat: anything I like, effectively - I think the "if there's a speaker, grab him and don't worry too much what he wants to speak about" issue applies just as much in HK as in London... |
| 12:02.57 | mozrat | :) |
| 12:03.15 | mozrat | how big is the LUG over there? |
| 12:03.16 | Leeds | oh, and I also now have an unmetered GPRS account |
| 12:03.45 | eye69 | Leeds: I want that. |
| 12:04.00 | Leeds | not so big today - maybe 20 people - but it was out of town a bit, apparently not their usual site - they usually get 50-60 and have had over 80 |
| 12:04.26 | Leeds | strangely enough, they meet approximately monthly on a Saturday afternoon at a University for a talk :-) |
| 12:05.47 | Leeds | eye69: seems to work rather well - I found, downloaded and installed, and tested a Palm ssh2 client while shopping this afternoon |
| 12:06.31 | eye69 | Ok. I run PuTTY on mine. |
| 12:06.42 | Leeds | eye69: on a PalmOS machine? |
| 12:07.00 | eye69 | No, it's a Motorola A1000 Symbian UIQ 2.1 |
| 12:08.02 | Leeds | cool |
| 12:08.15 | Leeds | got a 1gig SD in mine :-) been looking at the prices of 2gig cards |
| 12:08.23 | eye69 | Am just installing UltraMP3 and Smartmovie |
| 12:08.37 | mozrat | Leeds, get a blackberry! |
| 12:08.40 | gregj | Leeds: there are 2gigs SD ? |
| 12:08.45 | Leeds | mozrat: not going to happen |
| 12:08.54 | Leeds | gregj: there certainly are, and 4gig ones were announced last week |
| 12:08.59 | gregj | wow |
| 12:09.07 | gregj | but they must cost a lot |
| 12:09.23 | Leeds | about 85-90 quid |
| 12:09.46 | Leeds | cash, in HK, that is |
| 12:10.15 | eye69 | HK...hardware heaven... |
| 12:10.18 | gregj | and 4g? |
| 12:10.24 | eye69 | I'm assuming here... |
| 12:10.25 | Leeds | pretty much :-) |
| 12:10.30 | Leeds | gregj: $700 or so |
| 12:10.37 | Leeds | that's US$ |
| 12:10.43 | gregj | wow |
| 12:10.56 | Leeds | that's the announced retail price - they're not shipping yet |
| 12:11.32 | Leeds | the 2gig ones have only become widely available in the past couple of months or so |
| 12:11.45 | gregj | they probably can do a lot bigger ones nowdays, but just waiting |
| 12:12.19 | eye69 | Considering they've apparently been able to squeeze 512MB into a Transflash... |
| 12:12.27 | Leeds | I actually don't think so - that's pretty dense |
| 12:14.43 | eye69 | I've just put a second head on my workstation, not realising that the PCI card has only 1MB of memory. |
| 12:14.56 | eye69 | Time to buy a cheap dual head capable AGP card. |

| 13:50.10 | Leeds | for what it's worth, and for the record, making sure the Mac mini is using ehci (i.e. USB 2) for the external hard drive makes performance much much better |
| 14:31.02 | clyphox | I'm conscidering buying one tomorrow/monday |
| 14:31.25 | clyphox | been discovering osx this week.. can't say its been an unpleasant experience at all |

| 14:32.29 | clyphox | Many many years of Linux has left me with a disposition to "expecting" problems to surface.. quite sureal NOT having issues on the simplest of issues |

| 14:35.22 | clyphox | want a lappy but must be good and save money |
| 14:35.26 | murble | only problem with is the ibooks are a horrible colour and the power books are too expensive. |
| 14:35.32 | clyphox | besides do you know how much weed £300 can buy!?!?!? |
| 14:35.57 | clyphox | murble: exactly the issue I'm trying to work arround.. know any nice students? |
| 14:36.48 | murble | clyphox: my ickle sister was a student until recently, and got a 15" ibook for free mit max ram, photoshop etc. snotfair i never go that as a student ... |
| 14:37.17 | clyphox | I never got to even be a student.. started working at 16/17 |
| 14:37.19 | murble | howver she had tutition fees and i didn't. |
