| 07:09.36 | mozrat | that I left on my desk on Friday |
| 07:09.48 | Leeds | heh |
| 07:11.36 | Leeds | I assume you have spares |
| 07:14.07 | mozrat | luckily wifey did |
| 07:17.56 | Leeds | someone comments elsewhere that fosssl - which I'm off to tomorrow, apparently - could either be foss-sl (a Sri Lankan Free/Open Source Software convention) or foo-ssl (a package for securing 'stuff' without defining what 'stuff' is - with of course the client-side being bar-ssl) |

| 07:49.08 | mozrat | Leeds, I'm going to take you up on your kind offer to ship me some PSP games - how do you want me to pay you? |
| 07:54.32 | Leeds | um, ah... |
| 07:54.44 | Leeds | you may have picked an amazingly bad time to say that... |
| 07:55.36 | Leeds | mozrat: in about 5 minutes, I'm leaving the office to go find RMS... and I'm not expecting to be finished there until it's a little late to go shopping... and then I'm going to Sri Lanka tomorrow afternoon for a couple of weeks |
| 07:55.56 | Leeds | hope you don't mind waiting until I get back |
| 07:55.57 | mozrat | Leeds, ah no problems |
| 07:56.00 | mozrat | no! |
| 07:56.03 | mozrat | thats cool |
| 07:56.46 | Leeds | hmm... I don't know how much individual games go for, but if I can fit it under 18 quid, there should be no VAT issues |
| 07:56.52 | Leeds | ibot_: change 18 gbp to hkd |
| 07:57.35 | Leeds | ibot_ hello |
| 07:57.54 | Leeds | $250, approximately |
| 07:58.36 | Leeds | which, frankly, is cutting it a *little* close, but I'm sure the taxman wouldn't look too carefully at it :-) |

| 08:13.26 | Leeds-Treo | good to be back |
| 08:14.58 | Leeds-Treo | not that they'd ever use it in London, but the advantage of *only* accepting octopus (oyster) on the bus is that they can easily charge for distance |
| 08:16.10 | Leeds-Treo | my bus in this morning cost $15.something (about £1.10) - this one is $6.60 |
| 08:17.09 | mozrat | I think they might go oyster only - they already have cash free buses in London |
| 08:18.04 | Leeds-Treo | but they'd still charge a flat fee, I think - and the average fee here must be well under £1 |
| 08:18.23 | mozrat | yes, true |
| 08:21.27 | Leeds-Treo | anyway, once I'm back from SL, I'l be happy to send some PSP stuff your way... SL is a great place for dodgy DVD/Xbox/PS2/PC stuff, but I doubt they're up and running with umd yet |
| 08:21.53 | mozrat | Well I'm happy with legit stuff at the moment - just not paying £40 for a single game |
| 08:22.57 | Leeds-Treo | I would think around £20 each, plus p&p, assuming no VAT |
| 08:23.14 | mozrat | Sounds good to me |
| 08:23.15 | Leeds-Treo | should be less than 25 anyway |
| 08:23.40 | mozrat | I'll have to find out how to encode movies so they can be watched on the PSP |
| 08:23.48 | mozrat | and get a 1GB card |
| 08:24.20 | Leeds-Treo | at the weekend, I bought a little dongle which tricks the DS into running native code from the GBA slot, and downloaded about 95 game images... |
| 08:24.32 | Leeds-Treo | dongle cost $110 |
| 08:24.39 | mozrat | Nice |
| 08:25.49 | Leeds-Treo | I have a GBA 'flash' cart which takes SD cards - cost £20 - so I can play pretty much all GBA and DS games :-) |

| 08:26.33 | mozrat | ah |
| 08:28.10 | Leeds-Treo | I'm waiting for the new xbox to come out so I can buy a dirt-cheap chipped original one - they go for about £100 atm |

| 09:09.08 | Leeds-Treo | nah - he complimented gcc, emacs, gdb, etc on quality not freedom |

| 10:42.48 | mozrat | whats up |
| 10:42.52 | kbsingh | my prev employer.... snag'ed off 25% of my redundancy payout |
| 10:43.05 | mozrat | how did they justify that? |
| 10:43.40 | kbsingh | I only get tht bit, once I complete 4 years in employment |
| 10:43.46 | kbsingh | which happens to be 3 days down the road |
| 10:44.02 | mozrat | grr, bastards |
| 10:44.12 | kbsingh | so while the management had agreed to give me benefit of 4 years in employment - the finance and hr guys disagree |
| 10:44.47 | kbsingh | ( the case I argue now, is that i had 6 days of pending holiday last year and 3 more the year before ) |

| 12:25.18 | mozrat | how did the RMS talk end? |
| 12:25.23 | mozrat | anything interesting? |
| 12:27.53 | Leeds | well... he had some trouble understanding the questions from the Chinese people there... |
| 12:28.02 | Leeds | had a few negative questions/comments come at him |
| 12:28.19 | Leeds | but essentially it was his plan for reforming copyright |
| 12:28.29 | Leeds | I did sort of record most of it |
| 12:29.02 | mozrat | what kind of negative comments? |
| 12:29.25 | Leeds | "how do people make a living?" mainly |
| 12:30.01 | Leeds | and in a lot of cases, the answer was effectively "they don't - I don't consider what they do to be worth anyone paying for, so they shouldn't make a living doing it" |
| 12:30.11 | mozrat | this kind of comment? >> http://www.bash.org/?219418 |
| 12:30.47 | mozrat | I think thats very blinkered - he is very lucky to be making a living doing what he does |
| 12:32.07 | Leeds | not really... although he didn't phrase it quite like this, he was effectively arguing that the Internet disintermediates between content producers and consumers, and that the existing middlemen who are fighting to preserve their market are only doing it because of inertia - their business model has become largely obselete |
| 12:32.53 | Leeds | I think that's what disintermediate means, anyway - if it doesn't, it should :-) |
| 12:34.14 | mozrat | lol |
| 12:35.10 | Leeds | the point is that he presented a method for content producers to continue making a living - some making more, some less... but was quite happy to say that the people who participate in the production of content but aren't the actual producers should largely be done away with |
| 12:35.52 | mozrat | interesting |
| 12:35.57 | Leeds | it is, of course, a somewhat naive view, but our Richard's never been about putting practicality above ideology, really :-) |
| 12:36.04 | mozrat | yes |
| 12:37.04 | Leeds | in general, you can look at him as one end of a scale, and the status quo (4 chords!) or possibly the demands of 'the industry' as the other - somewhere in between is normally a good place to be |
| 12:39.39 | Leeds | quality is pretty bad, but the recording is understandable |
| 12:39.52 | Leeds | it's bad because it was made with a laptop microphone :-) |
| 12:40.59 | Leeds | might have a go at cleaning it up and publish it somewhere |
| 12:43.01 | mozrat | I'd be interested to have a listen |
| 12:44.49 | Leeds | there will be bits which are very noisy, where I used the keyboard, moved around, coughed, etc. - I was sitting a few rows back, trying to point the laptop at the speakers in the ceiling :-) |

| 14:01.41 | wh00dini | for a time reporting application |
| 14:01.43 | Leeds | mozrat: yes, I'm getting over a cold |
| 14:01.57 | wethrin | timesheets? |
| 14:02.10 | wh00dini | yes, web based |
| 14:02.29 | wethrin | Cope: Google? |
| 14:02.36 | wh00dini | but it needs to launch once a day, during the week |
| 14:02.53 | kbsingh | wh00dini: elinks cant do what you need ? or even wget feed the url's around |
| 14:03.04 | wethrin | kbsingh: Wouldn't help if it needs user input |
| 14:03.08 | wethrin | (which I presume it does) |
| 14:03.32 | kbsingh | in which case, the user can click on the 'firefox' icon and wait the <1.5 seconds it takes to load up |
| 14:03.39 | wh00dini | kbsingh haven't gone down that alley (yet) |
| 14:03.43 | wethrin | That would be easiest |
| 14:03.51 | mozrat | wethrin: wh00dini does so little work he could fill his timesheets in using wget probably :P |
| 14:04.03 | wethrin | Is it always the same user that sits at the same workstation? |
| 14:04.04 | wethrin | mozrat: :-) |
| 14:04.09 | kbsingh | or leave firefox running, within a master frameset (!) that refreshes every 7 days or whatever |
| 14:04.19 | kbsingh | can you have such a long term refresh ? |
| 14:05.00 | wh00dini | mozrat: my issue is that i am so busy i seem to forget ;) |
| 14:05.20 | wh00dini | yes same user all of the time |
| 14:05.58 | Leeds | personally, I'd probably use at rather than cron for firefox |
| 14:06.26 | Leeds | trivial enough to make it open a page in a new tab/window if it's open, or open a new instance if it's not, then schedule a new one for tomorrow |
| 14:07.08 | Leeds | put it in their .login/.profile/etc. |
| 14:07.08 | mozrat | sounds perfect |
| 14:07.26 | wh00dini | i've never used at before, would i an issue auto-launching it daily? |
| 14:09.15 | Leeds | you need to write a script to do the actual work, then you just do "at 1600 <script>" |
| 14:11.26 | Erwin | or "at teatime" |
| 14:11.45 | Leeds | indeed :-) |
| 14:11.47 | wh00dini | no work during "teatime" allowed :) |
| 14:12.17 | Leeds | wh00dini: in case you think he's joking, at does accept "teatime" as a synonym for 1600, 4pm, etc. |
| 14:12.43 | wh00dini | sorry i'm a yank :-) |
| 14:12.48 | Leeds | bah |
| 14:12.54 | wh00dini | does it do coffee talk time? |
| 14:13.20 | Leeds | not according to the man page :-) |
| 14:15.24 | wh00dini | i think i am going to have to use "teatime" simply b/c it is available |
| 14:30.33 | mozrat | 4pm is normally "snoozetime" for me - I wonder how hard it is to recompile with that option |
| 14:36.49 | Erwin | you can settle for a binary patch if you can keep it to exactly 7 letters. "snztime" for example. |
| 14:38.49 | Cope | how can you make the machine 'beep' |
| 14:38.57 | Cope | like on a bbc you could do VDU 7 |
| 14:39.03 | Erwin | press control-G :-) |
| 14:39.05 | wh00dini | the back space key always does it for me |
| 14:39.17 | Erwin | or echo -e '\a' |
| 14:39.19 | mozrat | I have a beep.mp3 file I could play |
| 14:39.28 | mozrat | seriously from the asterisk install files! |
| 14:39.53 | Erwin | Usually the pc speaker bell can be hard to hear though, so playing an MP3 file might be better. Provided you have a multi-channel card or software mixer. |
| 14:40.20 | Erwin | OTOH the echo -e '\a' has the advantage that it's played by the terminal, not the computer, so remotely connecting via ssh plays it too |
| 14:48.29 | Leeds | does the bloke on the right of http://www.flickr.com/photos/34015977@N00/40044896/ remind anyone else of skugg? |

| 15:19.58 | Cope | rhowe: have you played around with cron-apt at all? or something similar? |
| 15:20.17 | rhowe | Cope: Nope, I still update manually |
| 15:21.25 | Erwin | I used to just use the apt-get -d option -- so the packages are downloaded but I have to manually install them and supervise it |
| 15:23.48 | Leeds | JAV: it's a great shot - also a great game |

| 23:19.25 | z00dax | hey guys |
| 23:19.29 | wethrin | hello |
| 23:19.32 | wethrin | and good night! |
| 23:19.53 | z00dax | is it normal for [social] meets to usually be a work-week thing ? or do some meets happen over weekends as well ? |
| 23:20.06 | wethrin | Organise something :-P |
| 23:20.17 | z00dax | :) fair enough. |
| 23:20.28 | wethrin | They tend to happen on Friday evenings because that's normally when I'm coming back from Durham |
| 23:20.39 | wethrin | And I seem to be the only one stating that we're going to the pub |
| 23:21.08 | z00dax | since I am based in Bexley, getting into the city is a major trek after work, and getting out even more of a problem - during the work week, weekends i dont care |
| 23:21.40 | wethrin | Fair enough. Fridays are generally the only times I'm out in London |
| 23:21.51 | wethrin | (well, occasional Fridays) |
| 23:23.50 | z00dax | humm.. will keep a lookout for something, othewise will organise something ... |
| 23:23.59 | z00dax | bed time for me. |
| 23:24.02 | z00dax | zzzzzzzz |
| 23:24.17 | wethrin | night! |
| 23:44.50 | Leeds | ugh |
| 23:48.16 | Leeds | waking up = bad idea |
