11:47.32wethrinHello?
11:47.41wethrinI really shouldn't be here. I should be out walking, but I'm not feeling too good

12:21.24wethrinCold
12:21.30wethrin"Freshers Flu" maybe
12:22.23Georgewtf is fresher's flu?
12:23.03wethrinBe polite, George
12:24.59wethrinIt's exactly what it sounds like. Nasty things passed around by new arrivals to University
12:41.39Leedsit's what you get when thousands of people are suddenly put together, many/most living away from home for the first time, and nasty things start breeding in them
12:43.34Leedswethrin: have you been breeding with nasty things?
12:45.16wethrinNo. Nasty things have been breeding inside me
12:46.26wethrinI should probably have breakfast
12:47.03Leedsyes
12:48.09wethrinTasty fried things
12:48.27Leedsbad

16:19.44Leedshad a nice sociable evening, and they were serving beer in 'yard's (50cm or so) of ale (lager) with a convenient neck-strap... hanging a beer around your nice is rather hanyd
16:21.02Leedss/nice/neck/
16:21.33Leedsand... in on-the-way-home nosh innovation - curry-flavoured crisps! :-)
16:25.31rhoweLeeds: I have curry-flavoured peanuts at home :)

16:38.15Leedsugh
16:38.17Leedstrain crash
16:38.41wethrinOh. That one. If it's not served by GNER it doesn't exist :)
16:39.13Georgemy old physics teacher went to hatfield

16:40.56Georgewhat would castle be?
16:41.07wethrinUniversity College, Durham
16:41.12wethrinAt Durham Castle
16:43.00Leedshatfield was one of the first places in the UK to offer a dedicated computer science course, AFAIK
16:43.21Leedsa number of my ex-colleagues went there
16:46.35Leedsanyway, these crisps aren't 'curried' as the peanuts are - they are curry-flavoured, complete with a photo of meat curry on the front of the bag :-)
17:29.52JAVok, i'll transfers on win

18:07.23*** join/#gllug highbury (n=steve@81-1-76-242.homechoice.co.uk)
18:10.20highburywell, I'm running from Ubuntu 5.10 and I'm slightly underwhelmed
18:10.58highburythe installation sucks. Its sub-slackware (from years ago)
18:11.23highburyall curses based, poor partitioning setup
18:11.26wethrinDon't knock Slackware Installation. Debian's only just about caught up :-)
18:21.32highburythat's why I meant slackware in the past, I'm sure its improved slightly
18:26.29wethrinNot that I noticed when I used it :)
19:18.53murbhighbury: you can install it by hitting enter about 8 times.
19:18.56murbit auto partitions etc.
19:19.11murband you can do a fully unattened installation as well.
19:21.16highburyI believe the default is to reformat your whole disk!
19:21.33murbthat isn't unreasonable for an OS installation.
19:22.02murband it even lets you configured lvm2/raid
19:22.09murbalthough i'm never patient enough with it.
19:22.17murb(I tend to use debootstrap for my installations)
19:23.08murbpeople though really shouldn't judge somthing based on the installation, after all how long do you spend installaing it compared to using it?
19:23.23murbit just has to work, nothing more.
19:25.16murbunlike say chan_capi and my fritz card.
19:29.32highburyI disagree, they tried to say, yesterday, they want to aim it at mere mortal users, but most would be scared off by silly kludgy installation, say, unlike SUSE
19:30.03highburyplus, I think there's no excuse when dislplaying linux partitions to not show the volume label!
20:07.19highburyhmmm can't get the sound workings,  I think I'll reboot and see how suse does it :-)
20:07.37morsinghighbury: How are you?
20:10.59murbhighbury: check if sound is muted?
20:14.24highburyI've pushed all the sliders up
20:15.18highburymorsing, ok, Jason agreed to install mambo on the gllug web server, I'm going to xcopy some of the old templates over later on
20:15.55highburymurb, I can hear the system bleep, but nothing more complex
