08:00.50morsing'morning
08:01.34Leedsare you sure of that?
08:01.56morsingLeeds: Yes!
08:02.02morsingMmm... Chostelerol test!
08:02.07Leedsin that case, good morning!
08:02.27morsingHey, I didn't say it was good!
08:02.52LeedsI am wishing you a good morning
08:02.59morsingAhh...
08:03.20morsingComplicattions with the new job :-(
08:03.31Leedsoops :-(  on which end?
08:04.06morsingWell, the guy who interviewed me had only been employed for 6 weeks at the time
08:04.16Leedsugh
08:04.18morsingHe has now resigned and left immediately
08:04.29Leedshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4621158.stm
08:04.31Leedsugh ugh ugh
08:04.56morsingLeeds: It doesn't sound like it's a good place to work does it? :-(
08:05.02Leedsnot really, no
08:05.12morsingLeeds: Should I just leave it?
08:05.55Leedsno, I'd persue it with caution
08:06.16Leedsyou didn't do the technical interview yet, I assume?
08:06.30morsingNo
08:06.46morsingI'm also annoyed that my manager wasn't at the interview
08:06.55morsingI think there are some bad signs....
08:07.06Leedsit does sound that way, yes
08:07.25Leedsah well, you didn't quit your old job yet, did you?
08:07.28morsingNo
08:07.35morsingBut I want to!
08:08.46Leedsso, hand in your notice and you've got 13 weeks to find a new job!
08:09.12Leeds(advice may not be 100% serious, and no liability is assumed on the part of the advisor)
08:09.42Leeds(advice may also not be 100% silly)
08:10.01LeedsI told you I saw Tux on the plane back here, right?
08:10.20morsingNo?
08:11.37Leedson Virgin... they had a load a trouble getting the IFE up, had to reboot it, etc. - at one point they announced that "you may see a penguin and a load of text on screen - don't worry, that just means the system is starting up"
08:15.26morsing:-)
08:16.28Leedsanyway, I did indeed see the chubby little guy and a bunch of bash -x style boot information: "cd /seatapps"
08:32.17morsing200!
08:32.19morsing:-)
08:32.35LeedsI should really get mine properly tested
08:34.40morsingWhy? Chostelerol is over rated!
08:57.41morsingI'm aiming to get mine up to 200
08:57.45morsingSorry - 300
09:33.47morsingCheck it!
09:39.03Leedsyubnub
09:40.55morsingWhere can I download maps for my navigation system?
09:41.34Leedsin general, for the UK, you can't
09:42.15morsingWhat about Denmark?
09:42.16Leedswhich is what Steve's project - the one he needs mysql/apache/tomcat scaling advice for - is all about
09:42.33morsingLeeds: Will that install on my Navman?
09:42.42LeedsI confess that I've never had enough of a need to nagivate in Denmark to have investigated
09:43.00Leedsno, probably not - it's a nasty proprietary device and they'll want chunks of cash off you for maps
09:43.49morsingLeeds: I bought the system two days ago, it came with maps that are from July last year but even road built three years ago are not on there.
09:43.56morsingCan I complain about that?
09:44.01Leedsno
09:44.08morsingWhy not?
09:44.13Leeds"no liability, no guarantee of accuracy, etc."
09:44.19morsingSurely you can demand up-to-date maps?
09:44.25Leedsyou can complain, but you're not going to get very far
09:45.04Leedsthey have to get the data - i.e. buy the data - then convert and republish it... there may be some updated stuff available to buy

16:12.11wethrinOh, okay
16:12.20wethrinI'll go back when I get some rails for the server

16:13.46morsingCope: It's not *that* good!
16:20.25morsingIn Perl, how do I match "volume A00244 is mounted" *and* pull the volume name out?
16:23.52Copemorsing: it enables me to run, in full screen, exactly the environment I used to run
16:24.04Copemorsing: ie it allows me to have linux on a windows laptop
16:25.51stephenmorsing: /volume (.*) is mounted/, then access $1
16:28.31morsingCope: So does Cygwin
16:28.45morsingstephen: Thanks - you're a genius :-)
16:29.19Copemorsing: you don't say!
16:29.50Copemorsing: however, cygwin is not a 'corporate' product, with 'support' and 'licenses'
16:30.16Copetherefore massive companies such as verizon/mci will never ever authorise its widespread use
16:30.26CopeI also need admin privs on my laptop to install / use it
16:30.31Copeit also requires configuration
16:30.44Copeand is more clunky than exceed and less mature
16:30.50Copewhereas exceed 'just works'
16:31.01Copeand is a 'supported' (ie legal) application
16:34.02Copemorsing: good luck, you need one around here
17:21.45GeorgeI just failed my maths module.
17:21.46Georgewoo for me.
17:21.57Georgewell, I didn't fail, because the script wasn't submitted
