| 09:52.49 | wethrin | No :) Because at some point I'm going to have to run mine off to fiddle the memory, and also rack it properly |
| 09:52.59 | wethrin | That and I may have to reboot soon with an updated kernel |
| 09:54.15 | wethrin | So uptime may be slightly meaningless as the computer can be running all the time while the kernel isn't |

| 12:23.58 | Leeds | morsing: assuming you're asking about the vpn stuff, I plan to setup a tunnel between the two sites, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka, and openvpn seems like a sensible way of doing it... but at the moment, the only connection I have into either network is ssh into HK, so I'm forwarding the relevent port and running the vpn over it, just to test it |

| 12:31.44 | mozrat | went to an office |
| 12:31.44 | morsing | Leeds: Wanting |
| 12:31.47 | mozrat | IT Guy was away |
| 12:31.56 | mozrat | booted into Linux - got a DHCP address all good |
| 12:32.11 | mozrat | VPN didn't work... rebooted into Windows to use correct VPN client |
| 12:32.16 | mozrat | no DHCP address |
| 12:32.17 | mozrat | hmmm |
| 12:32.21 | mozrat | phoned IT guy |
| 12:32.33 | mozrat | oh yes - we only have 5 IP address on DHCP the rest are static |
| 12:32.41 | mozrat | oh.. ok. why is that |
| 12:32.57 | mozrat | the guy that installed DHCP for us only gave us a 5 address licence |
| 12:33.02 | mozrat | ...... |
| 12:33.08 | Leeds | ugh... |
| 12:33.10 | Leeds | argh... |
| 12:33.12 | Leeds | splutter... |
| 12:33.13 | mozrat | I want to see the paper licence |
| 12:33.20 | mozrat | I licence you the use of one IP address |
| 12:33.25 | mozrat | please pay me money for some more |
| 12:33.30 | Leeds | I want to know how much a 192.168 address costs to license |
| 12:34.04 | mozrat | no idea |
| 12:34.20 | mozrat | but if you are ripping someone off you'd do it for at least £10 an address |
| 12:34.24 | mozrat | I sold him another 5 |
| 12:34.27 | mozrat | (j) |
| 12:34.35 | Leeds | yeah, 50 quid for 5 seems like a fair price |
| 12:36.05 | mozrat | the guy admitted it was a pain to have to keep manually setting the address for visitors |
| 12:37.22 | Leeds | that sort of thing just pisses me off |
| 12:37.37 | Leeds | particularly when we know there is a better alternative |
| 12:37.56 | mozrat | I didn't actually set him straight on it |
| 12:38.03 | mozrat | it was a bad mobile phone connection |
| 12:38.06 | mozrat | I'll mail him |

| 21:09.37 | mozrat | hey |
| 21:20.12 | z00dax | if anyone is around the Harbour Exchange, Canary Warf area Friday evening - drop in at Spinnaker's for a drink. |
| 21:20.21 | wethrin | z00dax: Post to Gllug Social |
| 21:20.57 | z00dax | wethrin, right - doing so now. |
| 21:21.02 | wethrin | good good |
| 21:21.12 | wethrin | mozrat: Only because you never make it! |
| 21:21.19 | mozrat | with the talk about low attendances on gllug-admin |
| 21:21.21 | z00dax | evil social events are the kinds that most of us life for |
| 21:21.34 | mozrat | it would make more sense to post that to the main mailing list |
| 21:21.38 | wethrin | But it serves different purposes |
| 21:21.44 | mozrat | wethrin: you make an excellent point |
| 21:22.10 | wethrin | Gllug meetings are traditionally technical followed by Social. Gllug-Social is Lonix with less organisation |
| 21:22.14 | mozrat | it does serve a purpose but if attendances are low it might boost things if the social things weren't hidden on -social |
| 21:22.40 | wethrin | Some thing have been announced onto the main list |
| 21:22.46 | wethrin | Such as zach's leaving |
| 21:22.49 | mozrat | true |
| 21:23.14 | mozrat | Just thinking that there are more people who might go to -social things that might not know about them |
| 21:23.25 | mozrat | the membership is less on -social I imagine |
| 21:23.28 | wethrin | In which case, an announcement should be remade about the list :) |
| 21:23.36 | wethrin | There are about 70 members on Social |
| 21:23.41 | wethrin | 10% of whom turn up |
| 21:23.42 | mozrat | really? |
| 21:23.44 | wethrin | Yeah |
| 21:23.45 | mozrat | wow |
| 21:24.04 | mozrat | whats the membership of the main list now? |
| 21:25.05 | wethrin | 85 members on Social, in fact |
| 21:25.22 | wethrin | 533 on Gllug |
| 21:25.24 | mozrat | I think you should reannounce the social list |
| 21:25.31 | mozrat | 533 is what I thought |
| 21:25.32 | wethrin | (some may be duplicates) |
| 21:25.39 | mozrat | well not *exactly* that number |
| 21:25.43 | mozrat | but 500 odd |
| 21:25.49 | wethrin | 500 very odd :) |
| 21:25.59 | rhowe | WHOAH |
| 21:26.09 | mozrat | yes *looks.at.George* |
| 21:26.12 | rhowe | I JUST SAW A MOUSE RUN INTO THE SERVER ROOM |

| 21:26.43 | mozrat | *bow* |
| 21:26.47 | wethrin | So someone who posts more to Gllug than I do can announce it :-) |
| 21:27.09 | wethrin | Right |
| 21:27.13 | wethrin | rhowe: you've been volunteered |
| 21:27.56 | mozrat | rhowe - announce to the mailing list that z00dax will buy any members of the main mailing list a beer on Friday and see of 533 people turn up |
| 21:28.05 | mozrat | s/of/if |
| 21:28.05 | wethrin | They won't |
| 21:28.09 | wethrin | I won't be there |

| 21:29.12 | mozrat | Wolves LUG videoed their meeting the other night and posted the file |
| 21:29.20 | z00dax | aparenly I am not subscribed, so going through the motions of subscription |

| 21:29.57 | wethrin | Ahha |
| 21:30.08 | z00dax | mozrat, i am not sure :) |

| 21:30.25 | rhowe | Well, let z00dax post first |
| 21:30.27 | wethrin | We volunteered you while you were standing on a chair |
| 21:30.39 | mozrat | and whilst you are at it big up the Python Study group that I can't keep afloat |
| 21:31.02 | rhowe | Then I'll post to gllug saying "oi, reminder for those who like beer and food, gllug-social exists and it tends to carry things such as the following: <insert z00dax email>" |
| 21:31.55 | rhowe | mozrat: Actually I grabbed my camera and headed for said server room, but couldn't find it |
| 21:32.15 | mozrat | it's probably gnawing fibre cables etc as we speak |

| 21:39.18 | mozrat | if you are interested our hundreth thousandth call is.... some Exchange server uses in Berkely Heights, NYC not being able to send to hotmail.com |
| 21:41.35 | rhowe | heh |
| 21:47.55 | mozrat | rhowe you work for quite a large company then |
| 21:48.19 | rhowe | mozrat: Oh yeah, huge |
| 21:48.45 | mozrat | rhowe: any IT jobs going in your Dubai office? :) |
| 21:48.55 | wethrin | mozrat: You may need SPF records to talk to hotmail |
| 21:49.03 | rhowe | mozrat: Hm.. doubt it |
| 21:49.09 | rhowe | mozrat: Most of those offices are just 1 or 2 guys |
| 21:49.22 | mozrat | rhowe: shame |
| 21:49.30 | mozrat | wethrin: normally missing PTR records |
| 21:49.48 | mozrat | or a firewall change where someone only updated the A record and not the PTR |
| 21:49.59 | wethrin | Ah |
| 21:50.13 | rhowe | mozrat: Though there may be a job-related announcement from me on the gllug list in the next 6 months or so I guess |
| 21:50.31 | mozrat | rhowe: how is your New Orleans office? |
| 21:50.51 | mozrat | apart from wet |
| 21:52.03 | rhowe | mozrat: No idea |
| 21:52.38 | mozrat | *nods* |
| 21:53.10 | rhowe | Nobody's sent an email around to let us know (although that's hardly suprising) |
| 21:55.28 | rhowe | Wonder where I can get food |
| 21:55.33 | wethrin | McDonald's |
| 21:55.39 | rhowe | At 11? |
| 21:55.45 | wethrin | Or race to Vinopolis |
| 21:55.47 | rhowe | There is one on the way home |
| 21:55.56 | rhowe | heh, no, not Vinopolis |
| 21:56.05 | wethrin | Or cornish pasty stand at the station? |
| 21:56.14 | wethrin | The one at Marylebone is open until about the last train |
| 21:57.18 | mozrat | there is one in Paddington station as well - very tasty |
| 21:57.30 | mozrat | West Cornwall Pasty Company |
| 21:57.35 | mozrat | Pork and Apple |
| 21:57.47 | mozrat | and then you can get a Apple and Raspberry |
| 21:57.53 | wethrin | :-) |
| 21:57.57 | wethrin | And Kings X |
| 22:00.17 | rhowe | this is London bridge |
| 22:00.20 | rhowe | Everywhere shuts early |
| 22:00.59 | z00dax | wethrin, still waiting for my confirm email to come through to me ( w.r.t subscription ) |
| 22:03.18 | wethrin | Ahh. Just give me your email address and I'll subscribe you |
| 22:03.39 | mozrat | For anyone with UK Gold I suggest watching the end of "Friday night with Johnathan Ross" |
| 22:03.45 | wethrin | hm |
| 22:03.54 | mozrat | Har Mar Superstar - gives hope to any balding overweight nerds |
| 22:04.05 | mozrat | and Tarantino is on now as well |
| 22:05.32 | mozrat | OOoh, and Uma Thurman is on as well |
| 22:05.37 | mozrat | watch it! |
| 22:06.11 | wethrin | heh |
| 22:06.17 | wethrin | I have no UK GOld |
| 22:06.18 | z00dax | wethrin, mail-lists@karan.org |
| 22:08.03 | mozrat | z00dax: If I setup planet.gllug.org.uk as suggested some time ago would you have your blog syndicated there? |
| 22:08.19 | z00dax | mozrat, go for it :) |
| 22:08.28 | z00dax | we can all use some google foo |
| 22:08.59 | mozrat | yes |
| 22:09.49 | mozrat | plus wethrins blog.. Tues Sep 13th: Blogs suck; Weds Sep 14th: Blogs suck; Thurs Sep 15th: Blogs suck |
| 22:09.51 | z00dax | planet.gllug.org.uk is trying to sell me DSL :( |
| 22:09.58 | mozrat | should be interesting reading |
| 22:10.01 | z00dax | lol |
| 22:10.11 | mozrat | z00dax: still in discussion stage I think |
| 22:10.18 | mozrat | jason_ukfsn hosts the DNS |
| 22:10.54 | mozrat | z00dax: can you send me a face? |
| 22:11.32 | z00dax | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:11.40 | wethrin | z00dax: Done |
| 22:16.39 | z00dax | you run bytemark ? |
| 22:18.43 | mozrat | I have a bytemark virtual server yes |
| 22:18.49 | z00dax | ah right... |
| 22:19.03 | mozrat | I don't run it if thats what you meant :) |
| 22:19.19 | mozrat | but that would be cool |
| 22:19.21 | z00dax | I remember speaking to someone @ bytemark a few years back - and the guy told me to get something elsewhere :) |
| 22:19.38 | mozrat | really? I haven't had too many quibbles with them |
| 22:19.54 | mozrat | I went for the cheap option and it has memory swap issues now and again |
| 22:20.14 | mozrat | but I wouldn't expect a physical server with 64MB RAM to do too much |
| 22:20.24 | mozrat | mozrat01:/opt# uptime |
| 22:20.24 | mozrat | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:20.29 | mozrat | uptime isn't too bad |
| 22:20.30 | z00dax | I wanted something funky, and cheap - i think he worked it out as not being worth their effort to do something custom for the kinda money on offer |
| 22:26.56 | mozrat | they are cheap IMO |
| 22:30.10 | Cope | i see |
| 22:30.30 | Cope | bytemark? |
| 22:30.43 | mozrat | hello Cope |
| 22:30.45 | Cope | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:30.51 | Cope | been very happy with them |
| 22:30.55 | mozrat | me too |
| 22:31.16 | mozrat | Cope have you ever wiped your rootfs image? |
| 22:31.16 | Cope | does everything I need - I don't make massive demands, and they're very good value |
| 22:31.30 | mozrat | I've asked for support a few times and they are responsive |
| 22:31.35 | Cope | mmmhmm |
| 22:31.55 | Cope | matthew seems a fine fellow |
| 22:31.58 | mozrat | in fact when I asked the guy if I could apt-get dist-upgrade to testing (sarge) he offered to do it for me |
| 22:32.11 | Cope | and can't complain about debian stable - always rock solid |
| 22:32.35 | mozrat | Cope - are you running Woody or Sarge on Bytemark? |
| 22:32.40 | Cope | 64M of ram is a bit low, and occasionally (occassionally) other folk on the box make things a bit unresponsive, but generally been very happy. |
| 22:32.45 | Cope | mozrat: sarge |
| 22:32.49 | mozrat | cool |
| 22:32.57 | mozrat | I need to know the name of the rootfs image |
| 22:33.00 | mozrat | hmm |
| 22:33.01 | Cope | hrm |
| 22:33.15 | Cope | brb - a bit more wine left in the bottle |
| 22:33.21 | mozrat | I can see kernel image names there - I wonder if that is them |
| 22:33.36 | mozrat | <mozrat> kernel |
| 22:33.37 | mozrat | Listing kernels, currently selected marked with [*] |
| 22:33.37 | mozrat | [*] Stable (currently linux-2.4.26-bytemark-uml-20040706-1) |
| 22:33.37 | mozrat | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:33.37 | mozrat | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:33.39 | mozrat | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:33.44 | mozrat | for example - I think that is them |
| 22:34.19 | mozrat | so I can get a new machine running 2.6.12.4 with the rootfs command |
| 22:34.25 | mozrat | brb |
| 22:34.26 | Cope | Linux vm.wibbleworld.org.uk 2.4.26-bytemark-uml-20040706-1 #1 Tue Jul 6 09:37:31 BST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux |
| 22:35.05 | Cope | there's nothing in 2.6 I need |
| 22:35.29 | Cope | but bear in mind I've run 2.2 for a long time, and only recently moved to 2.4 on my 'production' machines |
| 22:36.47 | mozrat | going to find food |
| 22:36.50 | mozrat | bbiab |
| 22:38.18 | Cope | ok |
| 22:41.31 | wethrin | would wibbleworld contain lots of jelly? |
| 22:45.00 | Cope | yeah, I reckon so |
| 22:47.26 | mozrat | Cope, against whom? |
| 22:47.28 | mozrat | Wm? |
| 22:47.31 | Cope | heh |
| 22:47.34 | Cope | no - fics |
| 22:47.38 | mozrat | ahh |
| 22:47.43 | mozrat | I had a fics server at work once |
| 22:47.52 | mozrat | it was quite heavily used |
| 22:49.57 | mozrat | also Bytemark support pages are very good |
| 22:58.26 | mozrat | Har Mar Superstar++ |
| 23:01.58 | mozrat | From Wikipedia.... "A genuinely talented musician, Har Mar Superstar is a character who patterns himself after porn star Ron Jeremy; overweight, nearly nude seemingly obsessed with own sexual prowess." |
| 23:03.11 | wethrin | Finally! |
| 23:06.52 | mozrat | FTPing my stuff up and away from Bytemark is taking longer than I thought |
| 23:06.59 | mozrat | so I'll reimage tomorrow |
| 23:07.00 | mozrat | nn all |
| 23:09.52 | wethrin | nn |
| 23:12.56 | z00dax | is it wise to post a mobile number for people to get in touch ? |
| 23:13.28 | rhowe | z00dax: If you don't mind your number being known publicly |
| 23:13.36 | rhowe | z00dax: People often do post mobile numbers |
| 23:14.13 | wethrin | It's best to |
| 23:14.34 | wethrin | Unless lots of people already know your number |
| 23:14.37 | rhowe | AFAIK, gllug-social has public archives |
| 23:14.41 | z00dax | considering I've never met anyone from gllug before, it might be kinda wierd hooking up. I could just ask everyone to come dressed as Linus and carry their pet pengiuns with them for easy identification |
| 23:14.56 | rhowe | z00dax: Just so you know, I won't be able to make it |
| 23:15.03 | rhowe | z00dax: Will be on a train to Manchester |
| 23:15.05 | wethrin | rhowe: I can probably turn that off if I can be arsed |
| 23:15.27 | rhowe | wethrin: no point really |
| 23:15.30 | wethrin | z00dax: You can always ask for confirmation if anyone else would turn up |
| 23:15.32 | wethrin | Nah |
| 23:15.32 | rhowe | wethrin: May as well leave it on |
| 23:15.43 | wethrin | Yes. I was going to |
| 23:15.51 | rhowe | wethrin: Oh, do you have any weird hardware/OS combinations? :) |
| 23:15.56 | z00dax | wethrin, yeah - i'll do that, email people my number if they confirm via email that they are going to be there |
| 23:16.03 | rhowe | wethrin: A friend has written his own version of netcat and is looking for testers |
| 23:19.30 | wethrin | rhowe: You know I do |
| 23:19.38 | wethrin | But not with me |
| 23:20.20 | rhowe | wethrin: OK, well give me a shout if you fancy watching it break |
| 23:20.45 | rhowe | wethrin: Currently it's breaking quite well on my dual celeron with latest GCC from Debian unstable |
| 23:20.53 | wethrin | ha |
| 23:20.55 | rhowe | wethrin: So we don't need your services just yet :) |
| 23:20.57 | wethrin | What's wrong with just netcat? |
| 23:21.12 | rhowe | no iode |
| 23:21.15 | rhowe | no idea :) |
| 23:23.24 | wethrin | Ah |
| 23:29.29 | rhowe | In fact.. it's breaking in ways I don't understand :) |
| 23:29.35 | rhowe | I suspect it's a threading thing |
| 23:30.49 | wethrin | ah |
