07:17.33morsing'morning
07:17.36Leedshello
07:17.57morsingHow are you?
07:19.17Leedsnot bad... you?
07:29.15morsingCrap
07:29.55Leedsyeah?
07:30.00morsingMmm...
07:31.20Leedsill crap or life crap?
07:31.30morsingLife crap
07:31.35morsingWork crap
07:31.37Leedsah
07:37.56morsingHow's the bra industry?
07:38.14Leedstoddling along
07:38.26morsingNice. Can you send me a free sample?
07:38.32LeedsI'm just applying for an Australian visa
07:38.42Leedswe might have some spare mis-shapes...
07:38.47morsingLeeds: Great. When can I come a visit you in HK?
07:38.55morsingmis-shapes?
07:39.44Leedsibot change 20 aud to gbp
07:39.46morsingWhere is Chessington ?
07:40.28Leedstraditionally, places like chocolate factories would sell cheap stuff in their factory shop - particularly mis-shapen products which couldn't be packaged and sold
07:40.37LeedsI'm not sure, but there's a world of adventure there
07:41.09morsingAhh...
07:46.19Leedsdamn, I can't work in .au while I'm there
07:46.54morsingCool
07:48.29morsingibot change 110 USD to GBP
07:49.05morsingibot change 90 USD to GBP
07:49.07Leedsa british passport is a useful piece of kit...
07:49.12morsingIs it?
07:52.13morsingHmm... List price in the UK for four Bilstein SD dampers £1400
07:52.26morsingPrice from US website - £230
07:52.41morsingDifficult choice...
07:53.57Leedsjust add shipping and tax...
07:54.14morsingSo you reckon £1200 shipping and tax?
07:54.43Leedsno - maybe up to £500 total
07:54.50morsingI'm guessing shipping is less than £50
07:55.03morsingHow do I calculate the tax?
07:55.06Leedsof course, I have no idea what those things are - they could be huge and heavy, they could be tiny and light
07:55.36Leedsassuming they (whatever they are) aren't dutiable (i.e. booze, fags, etc.) you're looking at 17.5% VAT
07:55.48morsingVAT isn't tax
07:56.00Leedsuh... what does the T stand for?
07:56.16morsingTax
07:56.45Leedsthen in what way is it not tax?
07:57.13morsingIt's not
07:58.14morsinghttp://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/upg-e/img1025925380.jpeg
07:58.40Leedsthat doesn't make VAT not being a tax any clearer
07:58.45morsingCool
07:58.56morsingSo £40 tax
07:59.05morsingAdds up to £320
07:59.18morsingSo you still think I should buy from the UK?
07:59.21LeedsI wouldn't imagine they'd be *cheap* to ship... I'd say more
07:59.36Leedswhen did I ever say you should buy from the UK?  I avoid buying from the UK whenever possible!
07:59.37morsingOk, £360
08:00.04morsingOhh... I thought you tried to scare me from buying in the US with all that tax talk
08:00.49Leedsoh, no -  just stating the facts
08:00.58morsingAh...
08:02.37Leedsthe only other issue - which may be obvious - is to make sure that the US website is a site you can trust - if for no other reason than because I'd imagine it could be harder chasing them legally if there's trouble
08:03.05morsingLeeds: They seem to be well known in the BMW circles.
08:03.10morsingI think I can trust them
08:04.50Leedsgo for it then
08:04.56morsingThanks :-)
08:05.16Leedsmy pleasure :-)
08:08.16morsingAre we alone?
08:14.10Leedsseems that way
08:14.18Leedsapart from ibot, of course

08:38.58mozratmorning
08:40.02Leedsmozrat: hello
08:41.03wethrinRight. Time for me to go and attempt to instil some fea^Wknowledge into undergrads
08:41.59Leedsha ha, you're a teacher!
08:43.21mozratLeeds: g'morning

09:09.37morsingYes
09:19.36Copemorning
09:25.50Copeor not
09:26.04Leedsnot, but you're welcome to it anyway
09:26.05mozratmorsing: like "Take That"?
09:26.28mozratLeeds - you have 2 blogs right?
09:26.31Copemozrat: I think it unlikely that morsing is a fan
09:26.36Leedsmozrat: I do
09:26.48mozratWhy has planet.gllug.org.uk got a syndication to the one you never ever update?
09:26.53mozratHey Cope!
09:27.31Leedsbecause that's the technical one rather than the "random stuff, particularly life in Hong Kong" one, which seemed more appropriate... I emailed Dean about it at the start of this week, but I haven't heard back from him
09:27.42LeedsJude?
09:37.06morsingCope!
09:37.25morsingmozrat: You're planning on coming here every day?

13:46.06GeorgeLeedshome: yes to what?
13:47.18Leedshomewatching Empire
13:47.35CopeGeorge: why did you say that twice?
13:48.45GeorgeCope: accidentally hit the middle button twice
13:48.52CopeGeorge: and in terms of what you say, it depends on how you measure speed; P4 pipelines are *massively* long, and so you can do limited numbers of instructions per cycle, so in that respect, architecturally, the statement is accurate.  Of course, the "twice as" claim is silly.
13:49.12GeorgeCope: I know the twice as claim is utterly ludicrous
13:49.20CopeGeorge: I would hope you would.
13:50.01GeorgeCope: didn't Intel choose to make the P4's pipeline stupidly long because they were scared about the Athlon and chose to make a long pipeline processor so they could just keep churning up the clock speed without doing major architectural changes?
13:51.41CopeGeorge: I think that would be a fair claim to make.
13:52.18GeorgeCope: heh

17:20.04stephanb2actually, if there is something called "Bastille Linux"
17:20.14wethrinCan we storm it?

17:22.04stephanb2and more controversial "Jihad Linux"
17:22.15stephanb2etc...
17:22.24kbsinghwhat the connection  between Krishna and Dharma to start with, and then extend it to Bastille ?
17:24.52stephanb2well I was brought up in France. for me Bastille is a symbol of the French Revolution
17:25.45stephanb2the connection being they are all symbols of religions or belief systems
17:26.35*** part/#gllug n1x0n (n=nixon@unregister065029239087.c29.msk.pl)
17:29.49kbsinghI dont think Krishna has any real fanatical following
17:30.57stephanb2kbsingh: well there is ISKCON.
17:31.14kbsinghjust a money making racket
17:31.24stephanb2yeah sure
17:31.44stephanb2but there is some aspect of that in certain christian congregations
17:33.08kbsinghreally ?
17:34.08kbsinghlike what ?
17:34.20stephanb2ok, the money racket is not at the centre of the operation
17:35.00stephanb2but behind the scenes, there is a building (the church), a board of directors (trustees), employees, etc
17:35.14kbsinghoh you mean that way
17:35.19stephanb2the purpose is maybe not to make money
17:35.27kbsinghI thought more in a theology and the whole hare rama, hare krishna thing
17:35.39stephanb2however money governs certain things
17:35.58stephanb2oh money is kept well clear from theology
17:36.16stephanb2in order not to soil god's dress
17:38.09kbsinghok, so this is an open ended discussion - and I need to leave from work in 10 min. maybe some other day we'll pick this up
17:38.31kbsinghbtw, not sure if I mentioned this to you guys - a freak incident almost a month back ...
17:38.36Kittyanyone here used iscsi?
17:38.52kbsinghsomeone knocked on my door, reall loud. rather than a Knock Knock, it was a Whack Whact
17:39.03kbsinghand slipped a copy of the Koran through the door, and walked off.
17:39.51kbsinghat the time I found it rather amusing, but reflecting back - I wonder if its my neighbours giving me a hint ?
17:40.38stephanb2hmmm not sure wot 2 make out of that
17:42.05kbsinghme neither.
17:42.16kbsinghfor the time being, if anyone needs a copy of the koran, its all yours.
17:42.44kbsinghits not even one of those translated ones or anything, this is the original thing, all arabic and everything backwards

21:34.29stephanb2sorry i missed the "nice idea" :-(
21:36.57BlaptoAngel using her breasts in order to get things she wants
21:37.02BlaptoWhich in the IT sector, almost always works
21:37.23stephanb2not only in the IT sector
21:37.27BlaptoYeah
21:37.33BlaptoAlso the * sector
21:37.36BlaptoAnd getting *
21:37.50BlaptoWe're being a little rude here.
21:38.14BlaptoBut I've had a bit of a rough time recently, so I'm entitled to be surly :D
21:39.00stephanb2Blapto: self compassion my dear friend... take a breath.
21:39.31stephanb2Blapto: complaining that your breasts are not big enough will not do too much im afraid :-(
21:40.50BlaptoThey're somewhat non existant, being a fairly healthy male.
21:42.23stephanb2Blapto: that is the physiology. however your message had another psychological meaning.
21:42.39stephanb2Blapto: "why is it (eventually) harder for me to get what I want?"
21:44.18BlaptoAh
21:44.22BlaptoNo no no.
21:44.25BlaptoI'm just being bitter
21:44.33stephanb2fair enough
21:44.35BlaptoI was dumped...
21:44.37BlaptoA week ago
21:44.48stephanb2ouch
21:45.02BlaptoAfter going out with a girl for about 1.5 years
21:45.13stephanb2hmmm
21:45.48BlaptoAnd it wasn't a particuarly clean break
21:45.56Blaptoand I've done some stupid stuff since as a result.
21:46.04BlaptoSo I'm going to turn to drink starting tomorrow night.
21:46.18BlaptoAlcohol being a fantastic substitute for happiness
21:47.24stephanb2hmm
21:47.40stephanb2suffering being a fantastic substitute for suffering
21:47.46Blapto(Not really, I'm just going clubbing with friends Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night.
21:47.54BlaptoAnd Wednesday night, and Thursday night)
21:48.05stephanb2ah this i understand better
21:48.19stephanb2get physical, sweat the pain away
21:49.10BlaptoWent to the gym Wednesday
21:49.27BlaptoBeat my best mile, so that wasn't too bad
21:49.50stephanb2u see
21:50.30BlaptoWhich was one of the stupid things, because now I can hardly walk :D
21:50.51stephanb2Blapto: u have to stretch
21:51.11stephanb2imho going 2 the gym is less stupid than drinking
21:51.29stephanb2at least less toxic
21:51.41BlaptoI stretch properly, it's just that I ran 8 miles, which is a little more than my usual 5.
21:51.53BlaptoNot used to it.
21:53.03z00daxi had coffee in a extra large mug, about 60gm heavier than my usual
21:53.15z00daxnow i feel tired
21:54.01BlaptoDidn't the mug contain more coffee though?
21:54.21z00daxnope, dont think so - didnt feel like that
21:54.27BlaptoAh, just thicker.
21:54.36z00daxwith a fancy design on it

22:35.56angelchilduni's quite fun actually, we've just started doing the SEG project. so lots of meetings and it's kind of novel to be working in a group towards an actual target :)
22:36.06mozratMmm, good

22:39.42z00daxmozrat, that does look nice
22:39.53z00daxwhat do you hookup to ? running your own asterisk ?
22:40.01mozratz00dax: Not at the moment
22:40.06ErwinOh.. I remember ZyXel from ye old BBS times
22:40.10mozratI don't have any suitable hardware at home to run * on
22:40.16z00daxErwin, me too
22:40.20mozratI have a Cisco phone hooked up to sipgate
22:40.25z00daxan old p-2 laptop or something seems to work ok
22:40.30mozratand I'm trying to get this connected as a second handset
22:41.15mozratz00dax: Hmm, I have an O2 at work
22:41.25mozratI wonder if I could get that running asterisk
22:41.40z00daxO2 as in the Sgi O2 ?
22:41.44mozratyes
22:41.47z00daxblimey
22:41.53z00daxits been a while since i saw one of those
22:41.57mozrat:)
22:42.00mozratI had 3
22:42.05z00daxspare 1 ?
22:42.05mozratI gave 2 away on the list
22:42.09z00daxoh
22:42.11z00dax:(
22:42.14mozratCope had one, some other chap had the other
22:42.16mozratsorry :(
22:42.29stephanb2is the O2 the rounded cube ? or the pizzabox thing ?
22:42.58z00daxmozrat, what are you running on there ? i
22:43.29z00daxpizzabox were the indy's and indigo's i think
22:43.35z00daxMIPS
22:43.44mozratz00dax: nothing at the moment - still has IRIX on it
22:43.51z00daxprolly in the region of 300mhz to 750mhz, maybe smp
22:43.51stephanb2yes the Indy, we had one of those, running Wavefront
22:44.15stephanb2is there a MIPS kernel ?
22:44.28stephanb2i mean a linux kernel for mips ?
22:44.31z00daxirix.... not a bad choice as a X front end
22:44.32mozratI think Cope got BSD running on his
22:44.56stephanb2oh i remember irix running like a charm
22:45.31mozratstephanb2: we had an IRIX cluster up until 9 months ago
22:45.55z00daxdamn, looking on ebay =- and there seems to be a lot of O2 going at the moment... its almost like almost every o2 ever sold is on sale
22:46.13stephanb2mozrat: wots the advantage over x86 or even PPC ?
22:46.15z00daxmozrat, i think thats where most of your cluster has landed up
22:46.44rhoweSure, Linux runs on MIPS. The Linksys WRT54G has a MIPS CPU in it, IIRC
22:46.52z00daxrhowe, yup
22:46.52mozratstephanb2: The company that moved into our building did a lot of 3D rendering - I don't know why they bought it
22:46.53stephanb2I wonder if i havent seen a Flame or a Combustion run on an O2 more recently
22:46.58mozratI didn't love it particulary
22:47.15mozratbut it was nice to walk around the studio and see people using UNIX desktops
22:47.31stephanb2mozrat: well they may have an old licence of Wavefront running on those boxes
22:47.34mozratz00dax: wouldn't surprise me if it was all on ebay
22:48.02stephanb2however it's been a while since 3d apps have moved to x86
22:48.17mozratstephanb2: Wavefront doesn't sound familiar to me
22:48.28mozratI can't remember the application they used to use now
22:48.41mozratthe more I learn the more old stuff I forget
22:48.59stephanb2mozrat: in the days of Indy's there was Wavefront, Alias and Softimage
22:49.04z00daxmozrat, better stop learning soon
22:49.09mozratz00dax: I know
22:49.25stephanb2Wavefront and Alias merged, then got bought over by SGI itself
22:49.35stephanb2out of all this came Maya
22:50.08z00daxi remember softimage
22:50.43stephanb2In those days there wasnt any decent 3d package on pc except 3DS which was linked to Autocad
22:50.58stephanb2good for engineers and architects but not used in film or broadcast
22:51.52stephanb2I remember buying an Intergraph machine to run 3DS on Windows NT 4
22:52.01mozrathttp://lists.gllug.org.uk/pipermail/gllug/2005-November/056520.html
22:52.18stephanb2cheaper alternative to Alias Wavefront on SGI
22:52.24mozratI wonder how Cope is getting on with his
22:52.39mozratstephanb2: is pro-engineer a well know IRIX app?
22:53.08stephanb2i've heard the name. but i don't know the app
22:53.27mozratthats what they used to use it for
22:53.30stephanb2i know Autocad and i've heard of CATIA
22:54.04stephanb2well those machines were essentially geared towards OpenGL
22:54.21mozrathas anyone used the media player listengnome ?
22:54.34stephanb2so anything fairly high end requiring OpenGL was available on SGIs
22:54.39z00daxmozrat, is that the french one ?
22:54.46mozratyes
22:54.55z00daxthere was a player that was taken apart yesterday for security holes
22:54.59mozratthe one causing a ripple on planet.gnome.org
22:55.03z00daxthats the one which does the wikipedia lookups etc ?
22:55.09mozratz00dax: no - for copyright reasons AFAIK
22:55.20stephanb2CAD/Engineering, Scientific data visualisation,  and 3D CG
22:55.45stephanb2the competitor to those SGI workstations was Intergraph
22:55.49mozratthe guy "forgot" to include some people in the CREDITS file but it seems to be a genuine mistake
22:56.49z00daxmozrat, i can swear that listengnome.free.fr was there yesterday!
22:57.07z00daxI saw a demo of a system being broken into via dns poison and listengnome doing its web data fetching
22:57.12mozratz00dax: he took it down today in response to getting flamed
22:57.23z00daxi know some odd people, yes
22:57.24z00daxah
22:57.30mozrathttp://pvanhoof.be/blog/index.php/2006/02/09/oh-dear-lord
22:59.33stephanb2mozrat: so what ru running on those SGIs then ?
23:00.08mozratstephanb2: at the moment they are still running IRIX. I saved them from the scrapheap and I now have one under my desk
23:00.15mozratso I need to do something with them..
23:00.26mozratI'll probably try and get Debian on it
23:00.37mozrator *BSD
23:00.50stephanb2mozrat: oic u don't run pro-engineer or something...
23:00.50mozratthere is a SGI port of Debian isn't there?
23:01.12mozratstephanb2: no - I can't remember why but they migrated those applications onto Windows :(
23:01.17mozrathence the spare hardware
23:01.18z00daxi've heard of a mips port of debian
23:01.26z00daxthere might even be an ancient redhat/mips
23:01.29stephanb2http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/
23:01.50mozratexcellent
23:01.55stephanb2http://www.cyrius.com/debian/o2/
23:02.05z00daxmozrat, depending on power requirements - it might be cheper to buy a new machine, headless, with the basic stuff only - and run that for a year rather than pay electric bills for an O2
23:02.18mozratz00dax: it's only a little fellow
23:02.36mozrathttp://www.lunar.com/portfolio/client_archive/sgi_o2.html
23:03.12z00daxmozrat, i had one of these for a few months at IISc
23:03.44z00daxa 350Mhz machine with 32 megs of ram or something like that
23:04.52mozratz00dax: I'll get it running tomorrow
23:04.55stephanb2mozrat: apart from SCSI and OpenGL, u may be better off with MicroATX + VIA C3
23:05.00z00daxmozrat, yay!
23:05.05stephanb2or any old Pentium III ?
23:05.21mozratz00dax: (how was|when is) the date with that gril?
23:05.41mozratstephanb2: I think there are probably lots of better hardware out there to use
23:05.53mozratthis is just quirky and most importantly under my desk :)
23:06.44z00daxmozrat, this saturday
23:06.51mozratz00dax: cool
23:09.57z00daxmozrat, gave up on the movie, booked a table at a semi-nice eating place instead

23:45.45mozratbut having moderate success
23:46.00zimmhehe
23:46.33Blaptoat writing bad python code or good code
23:46.54mozratHmm
23:47.02z00daxi am having some rrdns issues with python at the moment
23:47.09mozratI suspect a more seasoned Pythonister would scoff at the code but it works for me
23:47.23mozratz00dax: I remember you saying that a few months ago
23:48.02z00daxmozrat, thought I had it fixed then.... its come back to haunt me in the last 2 days

23:48.32z00daxmozrat, I might :)
23:50.37zimmanyone tried dual booting on a "media pc" laptop ?
23:51.02mozratzimm: define a "media pc" laptop?
23:51.43zimmmozrat, microsoft/the establishment have done that..
23:51.59mozratheh - Windows Media edition?
23:52.30zimmits a toshiba qosmio, dvd and digital tv without booting ionto windows etc etc etc ..
23:52.42zimmyep xp media edition ..
23:52.54mozratzimm: oh, I've not heard of that
23:53.16mozratI guess it would be possible - all you would change on the Windows side is the bootloader
23:53.37mozratwhen it loads into XP media edition it shouldn't know or care it is living alongside Linux
23:54.14zimmbut the built in non-windows stuff is worrying me ..
23:54.23Blaptoexcept it may be fussy about booting from the first partition or not
23:54.28zimmi cant even accessx the bios !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
23:55.20z00daxi saw something similar on a MSI media barebones system
23:55.35z00daxit can play audio cd's and mp3's with the system shutdown, and still have a display output etc
23:55.43zimmaye
23:55.43z00daxzimm, is that what you are talking about ?
23:55.54mozrataccording to Google the software the media player uses is Linux!
23:55.58z00daxthe person i know who has this msi box, runs mythtv and linux on there
23:56.22mozrathttp://laptopmag.com/features/qosimo.asp
23:56.24rhoweThey calculate interest daily, not monthly
