00:18.49 | George | night |
00:19.27 | z00dax | in soviet russia, the rocks hide behind you |
00:21.25 | George | hah |
00:22.33 | z00dax | specially if the rock has a spycam inside it |
00:23.46 | George | sausags |
00:24.20 | George | z00dax: do you get a lot of spam messages entitled "The Ultimate Online Pharmaceutical"? |
00:24.52 | z00dax | can check |
00:25.01 | George | I seem to be getting 4 or 5 a day |
00:25.04 | George | starting to piss me off |
00:25.31 | George | I get about 10 spam messages a day now, I think |
00:25.37 | George | no filtering in place |
00:27.47 | z00dax | out of 7438 spam in the last 7 days, i have 141 matches for "The Ultimate Online" in subject line |
00:28.27 | z00dax | the all seem to come from "Doctor" ? |
00:29.51 | George | yeah |
00:30.07 | z00dax | the url linked from the email is on surbl.org's lists, so i they get marked as spam - i dont get to see them |
00:30.22 | z00dax | s/o i t/o t/ |
00:32.20 | George | z00dax: you get 1000 spam messages a day? |
00:32.29 | z00dax | or more |
00:33.00 | George | "The lower processor speeds (none intel ones) are because the processors are RISC (Reduced Instruction Set computers) where as normal PC's are CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computers)" |
00:33.08 | George | comments like that make me squeal |
00:33.10 | z00dax | usually weekends are like 300 - 400 |
00:33.17 | z00dax | weekdays are 1200 - 1400 usually |
00:33.23 | George | lol |
00:33.27 | George | even spammers take a break :) |
00:33.51 | z00dax | also i get max spam from 11:00am to 9:30pm |
00:34.15 | z00dax | from 9:30 pm to about 2:00am it slows down - and from 2:00am to about 5:00am its more or less completely quiet |
00:35.21 | z00dax | Spamassassin + urilbl + razor = about 95% of that stuff never makes it into my inbox |
00:35.44 | z00dax | not using 'self learning' crap like bayes etc - kind of ensures i get almost zero FP's |
00:36.05 | George | FP? |
00:36.10 | z00dax | FalsePositives |
00:36.16 | George | ah |
00:36.29 | z00dax | I'd go mental if I had to trawl through the spam folders looking for potential good emails |
00:36.59 | z00dax | i happily accept those 5% in my inbox, in return for not having to look at the other 95% |
00:39.19 | George | heh |

08:29.43 | AndrewBlack | Hi there - does anyone undestand how "/home" works on Solaris. |
08:33.30 | morsing | AndrewBlack: Ask the question? |
08:34.59 | AndrewBlack | It seems that automounter does something wierd and wondeful |
08:35.15 | AndrewBlack | You can't create a director /home/andrew |
08:38.35 | morsing | AndrewBlack: I know. It's automounted from /home to /exports/home or something isn't it? |
08:38.41 | morsing | So is that a problem? |
08:40.12 | Leeds | <PROTECTED> |
08:42.05 | AndrewBlack | I don't think that /export/home exists. |
08:44.13 | Leeds | then make it :-) |
08:45.06 | AndrewBlack | correction - it does |
08:45.31 | AndrewBlack | do I need to add something to /etc/auto_home to get it to mount the directory? |
08:45.35 | Leeds | then don't make it... |
08:45.53 | Leeds | are you planning to remotely mount home directories using nis and/or nfs? |
08:46.21 | AndrewBlack | prob not at this stage. but maybe later |
08:46.44 | Leeds | then I wouldn't worry too much about it at this stage... |
08:47.01 | AndrewBlack | do I need to switch off automounter |
08:52.19 | Leeds | don't particularly see why |
09:01.57 | morsing | Check it! |
09:02.08 | morsing | AndrewBlack: Are you coming to the pub meet on Friday? |
09:02.44 | Kitty | does anyone know if there is an easy way to migrate a 32bit debian userland to 64bit? |
09:04.21 | AndrewBlack | morsing - quite poss. Remind me where it is |
09:24.40 | wethrin | AndrewBlack: Read your email when it's sent out :) |
09:24.46 | wethrin | Windmill, anyway |
09:25.33 | AndrewBlack | OK - hope to see you there. |
09:25.45 | wethrin | We'll probably move off for food around 8ish, as usual |
09:37.44 | wethrin | A Day at the Races, and a Night at the Opera? |
09:40.09 | Leeds | a day at work, and a night at the races |
09:40.57 | Leeds | amongst the late answers I got to the pub quiz last night were I Want To Break Free (which video had Freddie in a leather mini-skirt?) and Duncan Goodhue (picture round) |
09:42.03 | Leeds | Goodhew, that is, apparently |
09:42.47 | Leeds | I assume we still got the point after I spelled his name wrong... |
09:44.46 | Leeds | hmm... duncangoodhew.com expired a couple of days ago... |
09:52.58 | morsing | Leeds: Was he offended? |
09:54.09 | Leeds | at his domain expiring? |
09:54.19 | morsing | 09:42 < Leeds> I assume we still got the point after I spelled his name wrong... |
09:55.20 | Leeds | well, he wasn't there, and I assume no-one has told him |

11:05.04 | morsing | Leedshome: Because of Evil Dave? |
11:05.39 | Leedshome | you may remember I paid a little visit to hospital a while back... |
11:06.12 | Leedshome | I was booked in for a check-up 6 months later... |
11:06.35 | Leedshome | it's been postponed and postponed ad nauseum - and I got a letter today postponing it again, from next week to the end of this month |

11:10.58 | morsing | Leedshome: Yes? |
11:11.17 | morsing | Leedshome: So you're coming back for this check-up? |
11:15.02 | Leedshome | no |
11:15.54 | Leedshome | I'm just amazed that they've managed to postpone a 6-month check-up for about 10 months |

11:38.58 | George | I'm getting a lot of blog spam these days |
11:39.11 | George | serendipity is very good at sifting it out though ;) |
11:45.44 | Leedshome | all: whois.net isn't working for me... can anyone suggest a similar, simple site I can cite in some research? |
11:57.12 | wethrin | hello |
12:07.26 | Leedshome | I'll consider that a no, no-one knows of an alternative site |
12:07.43 | wethrin | Does whois.net just check whois records? |
12:07.52 | Leedshome | yes |
12:08.01 | wethrin | Why not just run 'whois' from the command line? |
12:08.14 | gregj | anyone knows how can I force bind to never send out NXDOMAIN, but instead some fixed IP if addr was not found anywhere else ? |
12:08.22 | Leedshome | because telling my dad to run whois isn't going to be particularly useful |
12:08.32 | wethrin | gregj: A catch-all record? |
12:08.38 | gregj | how can I do it ? |
12:08.43 | wethrin | Leedshome: Ahh. samspade.com? samspade.org? One of them |
12:08.54 | Leedshome | isn't that what verisign got slapped down over? |
12:08.57 | wethrin | gregj: Not sure. Maybe a * in the zone file? |
12:09.00 | wethrin | Leedshome: Not sure |
12:09.13 | gregj | wethrin: but I want to do it for all zones, everything bind returns |
12:09.28 | wethrin | Ahh..... |
12:09.34 | wethrin | Not sure if you can |
12:10.05 | Leedshome | wethrin: yes, looks like samspade would have worked - if I hadn't already replied to his question |
12:10.59 | wethrin | ahh |
12:11.00 | wethrin | right |
12:11.09 | Leedshome | his question being a client of his wanting to register a domain name which I described as being rather like painting a bright orange target on your backside and sticking a sign above it saying "Mr. Stelios, please kick me here" |
12:11.41 | wethrin | umm |
12:11.55 | Leedshome | easygroup aren't known for being kind and gentle when it comes to people trading as easyFOO |
12:12.20 | wethrin | Ahhhh. A specific domain, then. Not general domain registrations |
12:12.22 | Erwin | easylawsuit.com! |
12:13.38 | Leedshome | right, a specific domain which I shall not specify because, well, he was asking for advice on a legal question |
12:14.09 | Leedshome | Erwin: that was registered a couple of years ago |
12:22.04 | rhowe | Leedshome: demon have a tools page |
12:22.20 | rhowe | http://www.demon.net/toolkit/internettools/ |
12:28.59 | George | or civ |
12:29.00 | George | hrmmmmm |
12:29.02 | George | civ would be good |
12:29.18 | Leedshome | smac |
12:29.23 | George | Leedshome: got that too |
12:29.27 | George | never played it though |
12:29.57 | Leedshome | really? |
12:30.00 | George | yeah |
12:30.02 | George | is smac good? |
12:31.04 | Leedshome | very |
12:31.12 | Leedshome | I have lost many a night to it |
12:31.24 | George | heh |
12:31.33 | George | it wants to run in 640x480 on Linux |
12:31.36 | George | you can't seem to change the res |
12:32.06 | Leedshome | it is a few years old... I did think there was a way to change it, but I could be wrong |
12:32.43 | George | hrmm |
12:34.03 | Leedshome | anyway, time to go to the races |
12:53.42 | George | I prefer civ |
12:56.08 | George | wow, some chap at school just called me a 'd0rk' |
12:56.12 | George | I feel so offended |
12:57.26 | wethrin | how did he pronounce the 0? |
12:57.48 | George | I have no idea |
12:57.58 | wethrin | ah |

16:39.29 | stephanb2 | that's a smashing good movie that is. with Michael Caine |
16:39.46 | kbsingh | mozrat, a potential date lineup for Saturday, i asked her what she wanted to do - and she said movie. |
16:40.15 | kbsingh | she might not take too well to me steering her homeward ... specially since I've never actually met her before ever |
16:40.18 | stephanb2 | hmmm Ipcress File might not be a "her" movie thou... |
16:40.59 | kbsingh | stephanb2, humm.. i know i want to watch Memoirs of a Geisha, just cause everyone has said its an odd movie. but will wait for that on dvd. |
16:41.42 | stephanb2 | kbsingh: its not odd. it's american and hollywood. no surprises. |

22:27.42 | z00dax | well, with the 9 cell btty, it was doing about 20 min - tops |
22:27.55 | mozrat | heh |
