11:47.32 | wethrin | Hello? |
11:47.41 | wethrin | I really shouldn't be here. I should be out walking, but I'm not feeling too good |
12:11.23 | Leeds | why not? |
12:11.35 | morsing | Hungover? |
12:21.11 | wethrin | Nope. |
12:21.24 | wethrin | Cold |
12:21.30 | wethrin | "Freshers Flu" maybe |
12:22.23 | George | wtf is fresher's flu? |
12:23.03 | wethrin | Be polite, George |
12:24.59 | wethrin | It's exactly what it sounds like. Nasty things passed around by new arrivals to University |
12:41.39 | Leeds | it'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 |
12:43.34 | Leeds | wethrin: have you been breeding with nasty things? |
12:45.16 | wethrin | No. Nasty things have been breeding inside me |
12:46.26 | wethrin | I should probably have breakfast |
12:47.03 | Leeds | yes |
12:48.09 | wethrin | Tasty fried things |
12:48.27 | Leeds | bad |
12:48.32 | wethrin | what? :) |
12:48.36 | Leeds | healthy green things would be better :-) |
12:48.41 | wethrin | I've run out :) |
12:48.55 | wethrin | I should visit the stupormarket, but I don't feel like going out today |

16:18.40 | George | moo |
16:19.44 | Leeds | had 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 |
16:21.02 | Leeds | s/nice/neck/ |
16:21.33 | Leeds | and... in on-the-way-home nosh innovation - curry-flavoured crisps! :-) |
16:25.31 | rhowe | Leeds: I have curry-flavoured peanuts at home :) |
16:26.28 | George | hrmm |
16:26.34 | George | rhowe: and you're on IRC? |

16:36.13 | George | moo |
16:37.16 | rhowe | heh, being stranded by crappy trains |
16:37.59 | Leeds | hatfield, famous for a very serious car crash... that. and the Galleria |
16:38.15 | Leeds | ugh |
16:38.17 | Leeds | train crash |
16:38.41 | wethrin | Oh. That one. If it's not served by GNER it doesn't exist :) |
16:39.13 | George | my old physics teacher went to hatfield |
16:39.25 | wethrin | Hatfield Poly? :) |
16:39.57 | George | no |
16:39.58 | George | durham |
16:40.02 | George | hatfield college |
16:40.11 | wethrin | It's the cheap person's alternative to Castle |
16:40.56 | George | what would castle be? |
16:41.07 | wethrin | University College, Durham |
16:41.12 | wethrin | At Durham Castle |
16:43.00 | Leeds | hatfield was one of the first places in the UK to offer a dedicated computer science course, AFAIK |
16:43.21 | Leeds | a number of my ex-colleagues went there |
16:46.35 | Leeds | anyway, 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 :-) |
17:29.52 | JAV | ok, i'll transfers on win |
17:30.02 | JAV | (try) |
17:30.35 | JAV | with synce only transfers the first 16Kb, then breaks the connection |

18:10.20 | highbury | well, I'm running from Ubuntu 5.10 and I'm slightly underwhelmed |
18:10.58 | highbury | the installation sucks. Its sub-slackware (from years ago) |
18:11.23 | highbury | all curses based, poor partitioning setup |
18:11.26 | wethrin | Don't knock Slackware Installation. Debian's only just about caught up :-) |
18:21.32 | highbury | that's why I meant slackware in the past, I'm sure its improved slightly |
18:26.29 | wethrin | Not that I noticed when I used it :) |
19:18.53 | murb | highbury: you can install it by hitting enter about 8 times. |
19:18.56 | murb | it auto partitions etc. |
19:19.11 | murb | and you can do a fully unattened installation as well. |
19:21.16 | highbury | I believe the default is to reformat your whole disk! |
19:21.33 | murb | that isn't unreasonable for an OS installation. |
19:22.02 | murb | and it even lets you configured lvm2/raid |
19:22.09 | murb | although i'm never patient enough with it. |
19:22.17 | murb | (I tend to use debootstrap for my installations) |
19:23.08 | murb | people though really shouldn't judge somthing based on the installation, after all how long do you spend installaing it compared to using it? |
19:23.23 | murb | it just has to work, nothing more. |
19:25.16 | murb | unlike say chan_capi and my fritz card. |
19:29.32 | highbury | I 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 |
19:30.03 | highbury | plus, I think there's no excuse when dislplaying linux partitions to not show the volume label! |
20:07.19 | highbury | hmmm can't get the sound workings, I think I'll reboot and see how suse does it :-) |
20:07.37 | morsing | highbury: How are you? |
20:10.59 | murb | highbury: check if sound is muted? |
20:14.24 | highbury | I've pushed all the sliders up |
20:15.18 | highbury | morsing, ok, Jason agreed to install mambo on the gllug web server, I'm going to xcopy some of the old templates over later on |
20:15.55 | highbury | murb, I can hear the system bleep, but nothing more complex |
