11:00.12Leedsmurb: well, the free driver, yes
11:08.10Leedsnow I need to work out why it's so slow

11:32.44rhowemurb: Yes
11:36.41morsingrhowe!
11:36.55rhowe'morning
11:37.13rhoweIs it 11:37 where you are?
11:45.12morsingIt's snowing here
11:46.09morsingLeeds: Is it snowing in HK?
11:47.26morsingIs freenode UK based?
11:50.01morsingibot?
11:54.44murbmorsing: i think the people running the uk freennodes went over to oftc
11:55.39morsingmurb: I was just wondering if people using it are generally UK based or not? Like on #aix?
11:56.00murbmorsing: probably mostly 'merkin.
11:57.04morsingHmm...
11:57.15murbmorsing: IRCnet certainlly used to be mainly european
11:57.18murbafter the EFnet split.

12:58.48z00daxCope, very nice.
12:59.34z00daxbut cost of living in that area might be a bit over the top
14:00.43morsingI think someone has broken in to my garage...
14:01.41z00daxmorsing, go get em
14:02.35morsingz00dax: Long gone. It must have happened on Wednesday
14:02.57morsingTook a car battery charger and 60 liters of petrol from the tank
14:03.04morsingAnnoying
14:03.28morsingIs there any point in reporting it?
14:03.54z00daxI'd report it
14:04.14z00daxif for no other reason, then just to document the event - just in case its required later
14:04.39morsingOk - funny think is that there's absolutely no sign of forced entry
14:42.15murbstop uploading.
14:42.40Georgeno
14:42.46Georgeit's my internal network
14:42.59Georgei run ping to another machine
14:43.02Georgepings freezes
14:43.12GeorgeI get a response after about 10 seconds
14:43.16Georgesame for every packet
14:43.20Georgesame on two different computers
14:43.42Georgessh to another box takes ages to log in
14:43.46Georgeafter that, it seems fine
14:44.39Georgeseems to have only started this morning
14:45.44Georgelooks like a DNS issue
14:45.53Georgeif I add the host I'm trying to ping to /etc/hosts
14:45.55Georgeit all goes fine
15:01.41morsingCheck it!
15:03.16*** join/#gllug George_ (i=george@host-83-146-61-45.bulldogdsl.com)
15:03.29George_morsing: "check it"?
16:09.54morsingMmm... sushi
16:24.08rhoweMmm... mango
16:25.26Leedsmorning all
16:25.48Leedsmorsing: I had sushi (well, sashimi) for dinner
16:26.07rhoweCan FreeBSD do a PXE boot install?
16:26.54Leedsrhowe: I could burn you a Cd and send it if you want?
16:30.41Leedsand Charlie fell on his sword, in the end
16:36.14rhoweLeeds: If it was really a problem, I'd dissect my half-assembled desktop and move the CD writer
16:36.14rhoweLeeds: Or I'd just burn it on the Windows box downstairs
16:36.17rhoweLeeds: Still, I would've thought PXE should be at least possible..
16:37.24Leedsyou should be able to netboot an alpha, one way or another
16:40.33Leedsmorsing: for the record, I don't believe it ever snows in HK... we are tropical, you know...
16:42.21rhoweLeeds: The alpha will netboot, but I don't see anything in the handbook about the installer being PXE bootable
16:42.32rhoweLeeds: I'm sure it's hackable, but in that case, I'd rather just burn a minimal CD
16:42.54rhowewell, not PXE
16:43.03rhowePXE's an x86 thing, but the alpha equivalent
16:43.52Leedshttp://www.snopes.com/photos/risque/yellowpages.asp
16:44.07morsingLeeds: I made it myself :-)
16:45.17Leedsmorsing: the snow?  was it yellow?
16:45.58morsingLeeds: No, the sushi. Who's Charlie?
16:46.19stephenCharles Kennedy, I assume
16:47.16Leedsright
16:48.29Leedswhat do people suggest for CD ripping?
16:49.22Leedsother than a manual combination of cdparanoia and oggenc/lame
16:49.40mikejwgrip?
16:50.34Leedsugh, gnome...
16:51.15Kittygrip
16:51.21Leedsugh, gnome...
16:51.36Kittyhehe
16:51.52Leedsripping by hand it is!
16:52.28mikejw:S
16:55.58z00daxLeeds, what app do you use to play the audio ?
16:56.15Leedsz00dax: mplayer on a computer, TCPMP on my Treo
16:56.39z00daxiirc, mplayer has rip + encode frontend'ability
16:56.54Leedsmencode doesn't like audio-only stuff
16:57.08z00daxo!
16:57.44Leedsthe m does/did stand for movie, after all
16:59.39morsingLeeds: ripit seems to work if you hack it a bit
17:00.16Leedscan't be bothered to hack - it's 1am and I need to try to approach a normal sleeping pattern
17:01.04z00dax(normal sleeping pattern )++
17:01.40mikejwLeeds: try grip, it worked a charm for me on slackware
17:02.02Leedsplus, I'm expecting to go to a sociable and highly deserved Sunday roast lunch (at which I will be avoiding meat) tomorrow
17:02.43Leedsfrankly, ripping is slow enough that doing it manually is no problem - I'm blocking on the CD drive almost all the time
17:03.40mikejwgood point
17:04.25Georgewethrin: ping
17:05.09Leedsalso, this particular CD doesn't technically have ascending integers for track numbers...
17:10.00rhoweLeeds: grip is GTK only, AFAIK
17:10.07rhoweLeeds: So you shouldn't need all the Gnome baggage
17:10.30Leedsit claims to need gnome... and libghttp
17:11.31rhoweReally? It might optionally require the gnome libraries...
17:11.37Leedsanyway, I'm most of the way though - I want to get it ripped, then put Life of Brian on and go to sleep :-)
17:11.43rhoweI think it has a tray icon
17:11.52rhoweah, no.. seems I'm living in the past
17:11.57rhowe<PROTECTED>
17:12.05rhoweYes, that single Gnome library!
17:12.33Leedsand again, how well is it going to deal with non-integer track numbers?
17:12.37rhoweAnd, in other news, mum just offered me an interest-free loan to pay off my overdraft and fill my ISA allocation for the year
17:13.25rhoweSo, next month, I should be able to reduce my overdraft limit to, er, about 0
17:13.34Leedsvery nice of her
17:13.38rhowe(although I might keep it at £100 just-in-case
17:13.45rhoweIndeed
17:13.53rhoweHurrah for mothers
17:14.19rhoweOr rather, hurrah for brothers conning mothers out of money and making them feel guilty about not giving an equal amount to siblings
17:14.27Leedsheh
17:14.35Leedsare you older or younger?
17:14.38rhoweOlder
17:14.59rhoweMy brother just got a car, part-exchanging his somewhat problematic Citroen Saxo
17:15.13rhoweNow he has a Seat Ibiza and he'll probably end up writing it off and killing himself in it
17:15.18rhowe(boy racer)
17:15.55Leedssee, I try that sort of thing - there's no way my sister is paying her own ticket to Sydney - but I'm older and have actually been working properly (as in for a proper wage, not working hard) for far far longer than either of my sisters
17:16.32rhoweMy brother earns a similar amount to me working nights at Tesco
17:16.41rhoweWell, perhaps 20% less, or so
17:16.51rhoweBut that's not in London
17:17.03rhoweso if you say there's a 10% London living allowance or something, it's pretty similar
17:17.44rhowehm, sounds like the washing machine might just have hit a lull
17:22.47rhoweCope: Your shirt is being washed
17:27.03Leeds"what are you doing creeping around a cow shed at 2 in the morning - that doesn't sound very wise to me"
17:27.18rhoweMaybe (s)he's a cow?
17:27.20Leeds"We must pay homage to him!" "Homage? You're all drunk!"
17:28.10morsingIs mozrat still alive?
17:29.14morsingrhowe: You need a raise
17:29.38rhowemorsing: Indeed
17:29.50rhowemorsing: How about I become an AIX admin?
17:29.51morsingrhowe: What does your boss say?
17:30.03morsingrhowe: Sounds good (and fun)
17:30.04rhowemorsing: "Nothing I can do"
17:30.11morsingrhowe: New job...
17:30.20Georgesausages
17:30.22morsingIs mozrat still alive?
17:30.24rhowemorsing: Need a cow-orker?
17:30.40morsingrhowe: They'll need to replace me when I leave..
17:31.14rhowemorsing: How much of a nightmare is it?
17:31.39morsingrhowe: The job and the company is great
17:31.51morsingSome of my colleagues and my boss aren't so much
17:31.57rhowemorsing: Even when people switch the SIM card in your 'phone?
17:32.40morsingYes. You don't know AIX anyway so they won't hire you
17:33.52rhoweindeed
17:35.26morsingrhowe: So when are you going to release your TNEF decoder for Thunderbird?
17:37.00rhowemorsing: heh, right after I finish the company website
17:40.54rhowemorsing: My Singaporean friend who's living in .se said she finds she's reading Danish now :P

18:01.39rhowemorsing: He did say something about why he couldn't make it to Vinopolis for Steve's birthday
18:01.47rhowemorsing: But I'm not sure I've heard from him since
18:02.32z00daxthere was an email from him on the ML a short while back
18:03.04z00daxwell, yesterday evening.... so i'd say he's alive still

20:36.28new2unixI am after information on this years FOSDEM from a GLLUG perspective. Who's going, how, when, etc.
20:41.20morsingLeeds: It was itsbruce!

20:52.34Georgewow.
21:10.42morsingWhat do I need to get started with selinux?
21:11.16Georgethere's a fantastic book called "SELinux for complete and utter retards" :)
21:11.37morsingThanks. You're always so helpful
21:11.47GeorgeI know :)
21:11.49morsingDoes it run on Solaris
21:11.50morsing?
21:12.21GeorgeI dunno
21:18.39Copemorsing: given that selinux is in the kernel, seems exceptionally improbable.
21:19.38Copenew2unix: I am planning to go, as is murb and wethrin; rhowe would be a safe bet, so would morsing
21:20.05Copenew2unix: tarragon and spudulike are likely candidates
