08:17.34 | SlayerXP | morning |
08:19.31 | Leeds | he's a nice guy... just doesn't quite get it |
08:21.29 | Leeds | and he's touchy |
08:21.49 | SlayerXP | i hope it was me who put him off posting to the list |
08:21.53 | murb | and doesn't like flying? |
08:22.21 | SlayerXP | perhaps I could arrnage for him to be locked in a room with Peter Grandi |
08:23.51 | SlayerXP | Peter "Verbose" Grandi |
08:24.01 | Leeds | murb: indeed |
08:24.58 | Leeds | SlayerXP: so how is Norway treating you? |
08:25.02 | SlayerXP | good, thanks |
08:25.21 | SlayerXP | tad chilly here, put winter tyres on the card yesterday |
08:25.29 | SlayerXP | err car |
08:25.54 | murb | SlayerXP: what are the winter sport possabilities like wher eyou are living? |
08:26.15 | SlayerXP | murb: all of them, really. |
08:26.23 | SlayerXP | including ice skating |
08:26.49 | murb | SlayerXP: well i have outdoor icescating with in 200m of here as well. |
08:27.04 | Leeds | they don't do winter here... |
08:27.15 | murb | Leeds: do they have indoor skiing? |
08:28.25 | Leeds | not in HK AFAIK |

08:30.51 | eye69 | I have to put on the studded tires before Monday, if it's to pass the MOT. |
08:30.54 | Leeds | murb: no more easily than I can now - I would still be travelling on a British passport |
08:31.07 | SlayerXP | eye69: I'm at the junction bewteen Sparbu, Steinkjer and Verdal, about 18km south of Steinkjer |
08:31.36 | eye69 | SlayerXP: Ok. I'm 1/4 Norwegian...have lots of relatives in Trondelag. |
08:31.54 | eye69 | Stavanger and Trondheim mostly. |
08:32.06 | murb | Leeds: oh :( |
08:32.34 | Leeds | murb: not that it's hard, apparently... I can go over the border to Shenzen with a stamp at the border, or buy a real China visa in advance |
08:32.46 | SlayerXP | trondheim is 1h45m drive away |
08:33.15 | Leeds | murb: all the HK papers give me is the right to enter/work/live in HK - I will (99% sure) never actually be a citizen |
08:34.03 | murb | Leeds: so not as simple as staying their for N years and not getting into trouble? |
08:34.11 | Leeds | apparently there was a temporary dry slope here a couple of winters back |
08:34.33 | Leeds | staying here 7 years gives me permenant residency - but that's still not citizenship |
08:35.02 | murb | I think i have to stay here 5 years to get that. |
08:35.18 | murb | and then i might not due to not paying into state tax foo. |
08:35.35 | murb | (which i am not entitled to pay into 'cos i'm self employed) |
08:43.12 | mozrat | Morning |
08:45.45 | Leeds | I start paying taxes next week, sort of |
08:46.24 | SlayerXP | taxes.... taxes.... oh yes! I remember those. |
08:46.38 | Leeds | don't do PAYE here... you pay a year in one go - and when you start, you pay upfront |
08:47.48 | SlayerXP | that's when you hand over 40% of what you earn in exchange for queuing for months to see a doctor and not getting your bins emptied every week |
08:48.13 | Leeds | SlayerXP: my tax bill here is going to be approximately 8%, and for some strange reason you get paid *13* times a year... the 13th payment effectively covers the tax for the year |
08:48.34 | Leeds | this ain't Europe :-) |
08:48.52 | murb | SlayerXP: have you had to make a tax return yet in .no? |
08:49.02 | murb | Leeds: that is common atleast in Luxembourg and Germany |
08:49.06 | murb | (to be paid 13 months) |
08:49.32 | Leeds | hmm... I'd never heard of it before coming here |
08:51.40 | Leeds | okay, is it bad that I read "Amazon 'stealth' logging revealed" as meaning the online retailer is doing dodgy privacy invasion, rather than people cutting down trees in South America? |

09:23.02 | Leeds | in Macau all week? |
09:23.13 | pdr | hey jason_ukfsn |
09:24.02 | jason_ukfsn | so what's new today? |
09:24.18 | pdr | not much |
09:24.29 | pdr | in Macau for the first time today |
09:24.30 | jason_ukfsn | hmm, looks like BSkyB has now completed the purchase of Easynet |
09:24.47 | jason_ukfsn | That should make for interesting times in coming months |
09:24.55 | pdr | indeed |
09:24.58 | Leeds | pdr: so you've never been to Macau before? are you there all week? |
09:25.13 | pdr | yep, until i think monday the 30th |
09:26.07 | pdr | you're of course welcome to come over here, but i'll likely make a trip over to HK so plenty of time to catch up |
09:27.00 | Leeds | do you have my HK mobile number? |
09:27.17 | pdr | i think so, yes |
09:27.35 | Leeds | I wouldn't particularly want to spend a week in Macau myself, I think |

09:41.43 | pdr_ | mum's suggesting that Monday or Tuesday would be good days for me to go to HK |
09:42.36 | pdr_ | my brother is here for the weekend then going to Taipei for work on Monday and Tuesday and apparently I need to pick up my aunt and uncle from HKIA on Tuesday anyway |
09:45.01 | Leeds | yes, that's my Macau advice |
09:45.05 | Leeds | hometime now... |
09:45.32 | pdr_ | k, i'll hopefully still be here later |

10:26.41 | jason_ukfsn | I just managed to get a weekend trip to venice for myself and my wife for our anniversary for £120 including flights and hotel :) |
10:27.08 | mozrat | jason_ukfsn: thats very cheap! |
10:27.23 | George | bollocks |
10:27.31 | George | that reminds me I've got to sort out train tickets to shrewsbury and back |
10:29.00 | jason_ukfsn | it is indeed. Venice is her favorite city and we went there about 14 years ago but she's not been back since |
10:29.25 | mozrat | are the roads still flooded there? |
10:29.34 | jason_ukfsn | it would have been nice to go for carnival however the deal is available now and it co-incides with our anniversary so all is good |
10:29.58 | jason_ukfsn | I understand that they do have the occassional puddle to contend with but apparently they've had their vehicles modified to suit |
10:30.07 | mozrat | heh |
10:30.11 | mozrat | handy |
10:31.41 | jason_ukfsn | she was rather happy when I told her. Conveniently I flew her mother here to visit for a few weeks this week ;) |
10:31.56 | mozrat | LOL |
10:32.06 | mozrat | here you are ma, have the kids |
10:32.10 | mozrat | we're off to venice? |
10:32.27 | jason_ukfsn | something like that but really I invited her over for the kids birthdays |
10:33.23 | jason_ukfsn | I just decided to book the venice thing because it's now possible |
10:33.59 | mozrat | OK - SUSE licencing question. If I had 10 servers and wanted to install SLES could I purchase media and support agreements for just the critical ones (say 3 for example) and install SLES on the others without going to hell? |
10:34.39 | jason_ukfsn | I've no idea |
10:34.46 | jason_ukfsn | I suspect Novell are the best people to ask |
10:35.22 | mozrat | They would be if they returned my emails :) |
10:41.08 | murb | mozrat: call them? |
10:41.22 | mozrat | murb: thats my next plan - I'm actually on their site now |
10:43.30 | mozrat | "Don't phone us, phone a partner" |
10:46.11 | jason_ukfsn | I suspect that any partner will gives a "sales" answer |
10:46.18 | mozrat | yes |
10:47.22 | jason_ukfsn | I expect that, as it's their "enterprise" product the answer will be that you require a licence for each server |
10:47.37 | jason_ukfsn | Does it include software that's not under a free license? |
10:47.49 | jason_ukfsn | Do the other servers absolutely have to run the same distro? |
10:48.14 | jason_ukfsn | Also why opt for SLES? |
10:50.44 | mozrat | We are formalising our Linux support policy rather than just providing it ad hoc |
10:50.57 | mozrat | and our clients want to run Lotus Domino on Linux |
10:51.05 | mozrat | which really restricts our options |
10:51.22 | murb | mozrat: oh doom. |
10:51.35 | murb | i have a client with blotusgoats running on suse. |
10:51.37 | mozrat | they don't have to run the same distro but at the moment there is only a few of us with "deep" Linux knowledge |
10:51.47 | mozrat | "deep" == more than fuck all |
10:52.00 | mozrat | so we need to bring Windows-centric engineers up to scratch |
10:52.16 | mozrat | so mixing SLES with Red Hat or Debian for example is going to really confuse them |
10:52.45 | mozrat | I want Debian TBH but they want that safety net of big bucks support |
10:54.29 | murb | mozrat: can't you hmm send them on a reeducation course? |
10:55.32 | mozrat | murb, I think we'll get some budget for training but again - it should be a single distro |
10:56.18 | murb | mozrat: i was thinking in somthing like road mending or subsistance agriculture. |
11:06.02 | jason_ukfsn | LOL murb |

11:35.47 | jason_ukfsn | Am I alone in thinking that perhaps we need to re-introduce borstals or something similar to deal with kids bringing knives etc into schools? |

12:20.21 | jason_ukfsn | where did you upload it to? |
12:20.44 | jason_ukfsn | ok found it |
12:26.06 | mozrat | "WARNING: THE INTERNET SOMETIMES CONTAINS PORNOGRAPHY." |
12:26.17 | mozrat | Warning on the WebCollage Screensaver |
12:26.27 | mozrat | Necessary I agree - but oh how obvious |
12:26.28 | jason_ukfsn | hmm, the gllug template in that is no good as the index page (ie the actual template) was overwritten when the ukfsn webserver was cracked last year |
12:28.05 | jason_ukfsn | looks like mozrat has been modifying the default template to suit anyway |
12:29.12 | mozrat | jason_ukfsn: it's mainly the default theme |
12:29.21 | mozrat | but i want to make it less orange |
12:29.26 | mozrat | not sure which colours suit really |
12:29.35 | mozrat | Green seems to have been traditional |
12:29.50 | mozrat | that horrible grey images there now is just a placeholder |
12:30.57 | jason_ukfsn | easy enough to fix. I assume you are using css for such things? |
12:31.47 | mozrat | will be use |
12:32.05 | mozrat | umm |
12:32.16 | mozrat | sorry - on the phone and typing at same time |
12:32.24 | mozrat | will be using CSS yes |
12:32.59 | jason_ukfsn | get your priorities right! when you're on irc you don't answer the phone ;) |
12:33.57 | mozrat | :( |
12:34.00 | mozrat | yes sir :) |
12:35.52 | mozrat | Peter Grandi is as mad as the day is long, but offlist he appears quite reasonable |
12:36.33 | mozrat | I'll have to attend GLLUG if he speaks again |
12:37.47 | jason_ukfsn | I get the impression that his list persona is the result of desperately wanting to attract consultancy business - ie must always appear to have the answer and be right |
12:41.25 | murb | jason_ukfsn: but when he does that and give an incorrect answer it looks worse. |
12:41.30 | murb | s |

15:53.20 | wethrin | Hi Leeds |
15:53.36 | Leeds | hi... any luck? |
15:57.14 | Leeds | BTW, can I confirm... opterons are the only MP-supporting current AMD chips, right? |
15:59.08 | jason_ukfsn | Yea, the first order for linuxadsl just came in :) |
15:59.25 | wethrin | Leeds: Yes |
15:59.29 | wethrin | Hopefully :) |
16:00.03 | Leeds | wethrin: I assume that's yes, hopefully to luck, rather than to SP-only Athlons and Semprons :-) |
16:00.07 | Leeds | jason_ukfsn: congrats |
16:00.36 | wethrin | Leeds: Yes |
16:00.53 | Leeds | good |
16:01.10 | wethrin | He ought to have got my emails - didn't complain that there weren't any |
16:04.16 | jason_ukfsn | does anyone know a good (and cheap) supplier of dual opteron servers? |
16:04.21 | Leeds | have you actually heard from him in any way? |
16:06.03 | murb | I'd also be intersted in dual opteron servers, but only if have somthing like LOM on board. |
16:07.37 | wethrin | Leeds: On IRC |
16:07.49 | wethrin | I said I sent him some mail |
16:12.08 | Leeds | you did get the mail I sent to both of you? |
16:12.27 | wethrin | Yes |
16:12.40 | wethrin | I responded to that and changed the recipient from you to him |
16:14.35 | Leeds | okay |
16:22.55 | morsing | beer |
16:23.00 | wethrin | Hometime! |
16:23.05 | wethrin | And whisky later in the evening |
16:36.29 | stephen | jason_ukfsn: I've got a friend who builds servers, if you want a quote, email him at oliver.cresswell@pih-uk.com |
16:37.21 | Leeds | so is it true that the Opteron is the only current AMD processor which supports MP? |
16:46.22 | stephen | yes, apparently |
16:47.39 | Leeds | was talking to a guy this evening who was planning to buy an old Tyan board so he could run dual-Athlons on it... |
16:52.31 | murb | Leeds: IIRC one of the numbers in the model indicates how many you can have together in an SMP configuration. |
16:52.59 | Leeds | murb: yes, I know that for opterons... I am trying to confirm that there's no way to MP an athlon64 |

20:01.05 | mozrat | The mailing list would be the place to ask but it is very off topic |
20:01.39 | SuD | yeah, anyway it's going to be very expensive to get it to spain |
20:01.42 | mozrat | I'm not going to Camden but if I see one where I live I'll buy it for you |
20:03.21 | SuD | if you see it tell me first, thanks |

20:04.51 | mozrat | Oh you moved :) |
20:05.09 | SuD | no. this is like 100 miles from africa |
20:05.28 | mozrat | Sorry, I had you confused with \simon who is Italian |
20:05.31 | mozrat | my fault |
20:05.39 | SuD | near gibraltar |
20:05.46 | Cope | mozrat |
20:05.47 | SuD | btw, its about 200 years from trafalgar battle |
20:05.54 | Cope | indeed |
20:06.16 | mozrat | Hey - hands off our rock! |
20:06.21 | mozrat | Cope! |

20:06.32 | SuD | i have |
20:06.32 | mozrat | umm, np |
20:06.33 | mozrat | no |
20:06.43 | SuD | ¡gibraltar español! |
20:07.00 | mozrat | <PROTECTED> |
20:07.05 | SuD | :D |
20:07.10 | mozrat | dammit - not important enough to be an op |
20:07.13 | SuD | there's a street in my city that is called "gibraltar español" |
20:07.18 | mozrat | heh |
20:07.26 | SuD | it's a rofl |
20:07.38 | mozrat | Gibralter is tiny compared to the rest of Spain |
20:07.42 | mozrat | it's amazing we still have it |
20:08.29 | gregj | it is good |
20:08.39 | gregj | we can run company, and have no tax issues |
20:09.12 | mozrat | http://maps.google.com/maps?q=spain&ll=36.019115,-5.619507&spn=0.060015,0.164383&t=k&hl=en |
20:09.15 | mozrat | ? |
20:09.34 | mozrat | no thats not it |
20:10.21 | SuD | it's ok, we have a city in africa, just in the other side of the strait of gibraltar |
20:10.34 | SuD | ceuta, and also another called melilla, and the canary islands... |
20:10.37 | mozrat | SuD was that the right rock? |
20:10.39 | *** mode/#gllug [+o Cope] by ChanServ |
20:10.44 | mozrat | or is it this one http://maps.google.com/maps?q=spain&ll=36.143697,-5.333176&spn=0.119840,0.328766&t=k&hl=en |
20:10.48 | SuD | looks like |
20:11.05 | Cope | Someone saying something about Gibraltar being Spanish? |
20:11.27 | SuD | mmm... imho it's the first one |
20:11.28 | mozrat | :) |
20:11.41 | mozrat | SuD, but there is an airport in Gib |
20:12.05 | SuD | i think the second one is the city of cadiz |
20:12.18 | mozrat | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibralter |
20:12.23 | mozrat | the first one, you are right |
20:12.26 | SuD | and you have to cross the airport to get to gibraltar |
20:13.46 | Cope | *HUGE* moth! |
20:13.55 | SuD | mmm... perhaps the second one? i'm confused |
20:14.25 | mozrat | SuD, you should know... apparently it is your Rock |
20:15.01 | mozrat | Cope, month or moth? |
20:15.38 | SuD | it's the second one, but the biggest part is a city called "La linea de la concepcion" |
20:15.51 | mozrat | Its the second one now?? |
20:15.52 | SuD | and upon the airport (you can see it) and below that's the rock |
20:16.27 | mozrat | gotcha |
20:16.43 | SuD | http://maps.google.com/maps?q=spain&ll=36.133577,-5.359869&spn=0.049984,0.102413&t=k&hl=en |
20:17.17 | SuD | both places are ours, it's no difference, hence the mistake |
20:17.19 | mozrat | The first one is in a better position for what we took Gibralter for, but it was too small |
20:17.46 | SuD | they say it's a good place for windsurf |
20:17.51 | mozrat | yes |
20:17.54 | mozrat | and monkeys |
20:26.49 | Cope | smile |
20:43.19 | mozrat | Been a good day on the mailing list today, some interesting dicussions |
20:43.23 | mozrat | discussions |
20:43.42 | murb | mozrat: nayone kkilling anyone else? |
20:43.44 | mozrat | and also very humourus |
20:43.49 | mozrat | murb: no |
20:44.10 | mozrat | floo and "paul" popped up for a whinge |
20:44.15 | mozrat | but no bad feelings today |
20:44.49 | mozrat | just talk of posting to the mailing list in tex only format... roasting donkeys... and restricting the mailing list so it only delivers emails within the M25 |
20:45.50 | George | wurble! |
20:46.35 | murb | mozrat: that is ok, my mx is within the M25 |
20:47.47 | mozrat | murb: you are OK then |
20:47.53 | mozrat | SuD is way out :) |
20:48.34 | murb | however if PUG has a simular policy i'll have to install an MX in FFM. |
20:48.50 | mozrat | PUG? FFM? |
