09:34.43 | SlayerXP | much more catchy |
09:35.12 | pdr | now that's just silly |
09:35.26 | pdr | (pronounced "sillaay") |
09:35.32 | LeedsHK | http://blog.gnomemeeting.net/index.php?p=21 for the reasoning |
09:35.59 | LeedsHK | essentially, calling all gnome software gnomefoo is silly, and tying yourself to netmeeting is silly when netmeeting is dead |
09:36.38 | pdr | very much fair enough, but "Ekiga"? pronounced some strange way? |
09:37.20 | LeedsHK | pdr: it's possible that it's not pronounced some strange way if, say, you're Phlegmish |
09:45.02 | pdr | ok, i take it back, it's not a silly name at all |

13:02.11 | rhowe | pdr: Lewisham & St Johns |
13:02.14 | pdr | new cross is on the A20 which is nice and easy for us, but working out when and exactly where to pick you up might be difficult |
13:03.10 | rhowe | pdr: It looks like New Cross station is right on the A20, and one would (naively?) assume it has a car park/pick up point |
13:03.40 | pdr | i don't think it does |
13:04.05 | pdr | and iirc it's really not an easy place to pick up since there's no side street and only one non-bus lane |

17:58.49 | pdr | quite |
17:59.09 | pdr | had the car serviced/MOTed today, so it's all good for Friday |
18:00.15 | pawel | cars, they give you so much trouble these days... all computerised with dozens of sensors. |
18:01.39 | pawel | I am having some strange issues with acceleration, 6 different garages and no one can spot the problem. |
18:02.01 | pawel | they all blame sensors. |
18:02.42 | Blapto | Been driving past any radars recently? |
18:03.54 | pawel | I do not know, maybe or maybe not. there is so much of them around. |
18:03.59 | pawel | ;> |
18:04.14 | pawel | Blapto: why do the waves disturb them? |
18:06.33 | rhowe | pdr: I'll be well wrapped up if it's cold |
18:06.37 | rhowe | pdr: There's a reasonable potential for snow this weekend |
18:07.50 | pawel | btw. does anyone of you do something in php? ;> a simple question, when I try to count($array), when there is only $array[0] $array[1] |
18:08.02 | pawel | it returns 3. |
18:08.08 | pawel | how come? |
18:08.36 | pawel | does it count the word Array? |
18:08.53 | pawel | because according to the manual it should not. |
18:17.03 | Blapto | pawel, there have been stories in the media recently about a certain RAF radar that is causing cars to behave strangely when passing it. |

19:49.31 | Cope | hiya |
19:49.47 | George | sausages |
19:53.41 | George | currently zeroing out another disk to check if it's dead |
19:55.15 | murb | George: doing that is good as it means that dead sectors get mapped out. |
19:57.40 | George | it's good? |
19:59.17 | murb | George: well if you have a sector you can't read then it wouldn't generally get mapped out. |
19:59.30 | murb | if you write to it, if there are spare sectors they can be remapped. |
20:01.52 | George | heh, cool |
20:05.35 | murb | if the drive supports smart you might be able to get data on how many sectors have already been remapped. |
20:06.34 | George | it's sata |
20:09.30 | murb | good, so almost certainly it does. |
20:09.48 | murb | if you are running linux you'll need atleast 2.6.15 though for smartsuit to work. |
20:09.58 | George | hrmm |
20:10.00 | George | I'm on 2.6.15.1 |
20:10.14 | Blapto | murb, I've been running SMART stuff off of a 2.4 kernel. |
20:10.22 | George | Blapto: with sata? |
20:10.30 | Blapto | SCSI |
20:10.45 | George | sata != scsi :P |
20:10.52 | George | I'm sure scsi support in linux is much more mature than sata ;) |
20:10.54 | Blapto | Yeah, but it would probably still work. |
20:10.55 | murb | Blapto: that is known to work if the driver supports it. |
20:10.57 | murb | and the disk. |
20:11.04 | murb | Blapto: no, not before 2.6.15 |
20:11.15 | murb | unless you had the ata passthrough patch applied. |
20:11.28 | Blapto | ok |
20:12.25 | murb | if you have a 3ware controller they supply a seperate device just for the passthrough. |
20:12.36 | George | murb: smartmontools? |
20:12.59 | murb | George: sounds correct. |
20:13.13 | murb | they also have a webstie with some tips. |
20:16.47 | George | doesn't want to work |
20:16.51 | George | can't be arsed to try and get it to work |
20:21.07 | pdr | pawel: indeed, i liked it when cars were simple, now there's not an inch to spare under the hood coz it's full of electronic this and that |
20:21.44 | pdr | rhowe: cool, i like driving in snow! :-) four-wheel drifting here we come... |
20:25.44 | pawel | pdr: my previous car was "just" 5 years older with no computer and sensors whatsoever, so I could sit down on Saturday and try to fix/play with it. now I cannot do anything all seems to be so much complicated, even having manuals gives you nothing, unless you have proper diagnostic equipment. |
20:28.12 | mozrat | hello |
20:28.41 | George | hey mozzy! |
20:36.43 | mozrat | hey! |
20:37.12 | Blapto | I first realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat. |
20:37.23 | George | mozrat: I have an old man's name? |
20:37.26 | mozrat | Dyslexics rule ko |
20:37.38 | mozrat | George: nah, not really. You are the only George I know however |
20:37.46 | Blapto | People are very misinformed about dyslexia. |
20:37.51 | George | mozrat: :P |
20:37.58 | Blapto | For example, did you realise that dyslexia is an anagram of spoon? |
20:39.27 | mozrat | the dyslexic bank robber rushed into the bank and shouted "Put your mother holding hands in the air - this is a fuck up" |
20:39.32 | mozrat | or something like that |
20:46.14 | Blapto | "Don't you mean a hold up?" |
20:46.19 | Blapto | "No, a fuck up, I forgot the gun." |
20:51.36 | mozrat | hehe |
20:52.21 | mozrat | Today in Dublin bank robbers held up the main bank... .Police were quick to react and they covered all of the exits to the bank |
20:52.32 | mozrat | unfortunately the robbers escaped through the entrances |
21:07.04 | George | mozrat: that's a crap joke |
21:07.53 | SlayerXP | i need to shave |

23:06.25 | George | see, angelchild is so rude |
23:07.00 | Erwin | wethrin: Yeah, that's what ^T sends. I think there was talk of implementing this in Linux but it's so much harder due to Linux being so many separte pieces, unlike FreeBSD |
23:07.12 | wethrin | Integration++ |
23:07.21 | angelchild | could you not add it to the coreutils, etc packages? |
23:07.47 | Erwin | Well, to change it in LInux you'd have to change 1) the kernel 2) GNU libc 3) all the file/core/etc. GNU utils |
23:08.03 | Erwin | All developed by different people, on different schedules |
23:08.18 | angelchild | hrm, I suppose |
23:08.25 | Erwin | While with FreeBSD, all of this is in a single CVS tree, developed by the same team with with a single release schedule |
23:08.32 | angelchild | the linux kernel itself must be getting somewhat unmanagable by now? |

23:16.55 | wethrin | So yes |
23:17.08 | Blapto | Yes, but that rarely means anything./ |
23:17.23 | pawel | wethrin: how about accommodation there? |
23:17.30 | wethrin | pawel: What about it? |
23:17.38 | Blapto | There's a free YH place, isn't there? |
23:17.51 | wethrin | One free, because Cope pulled out. You'd owe me money for it, though |

23:19.13 | Blapto | I split up with my girlfriend |

23:19.21 | wethrin | Sorry to hear that |
23:19.25 | Blapto | And a girl therefore told me she'd been waiting for me to do that for about a year now. |
23:19.27 | Blapto | And has thrown herself at me. |
23:19.38 | pawel | heh... |
23:19.52 | Blapto | Well, she (the ex) dumped me. |
23:19.55 | Blapto | For someone else. |

23:34.27 | pawel | oh. great, so she can work fulltime. |
23:34.29 | Blapto | Ahhh, the great ID cockup |
23:34.38 | Blapto | Our science society goes to a pub |
23:34.42 | pawel | let's make it 2400000. |
23:34.44 | pawel | great. |
23:34.48 | Blapto | Half of us are 18, half of us aren't. |
23:34.56 | wethrin | :) |
23:35.03 | Blapto | So basically, I'm buying twice as many drinks as I'm drinking. |
23:35.08 | Blapto | And drinking twice as much as I should anyway. |
23:35.09 | pawel | Blapto: I must raport it. |
23:35.21 | wethrin | Blapto: Go to Uni, and BOOZE MORE! |
23:35.34 | Blapto | Barmaid says to me "I'm not sure you're actually capable of drinking a pint every 5 minutes" |
23:35.44 | Blapto | Walks over to the table we're at |
23:35.52 | Blapto | sees about 30 empty glasses. |
23:35.52 | wethrin | Down it in front of her and say "You were saying?" |
23:35.53 | Blapto | 10 people |
23:36.01 | Blapto | and 5 people who she's been selling alcohol to |
23:36.07 | Blapto | Does some mental arithmetic |
23:36.13 | Blapto | realises we're not paralytic |
23:36.16 | Blapto | And chucks us out :D |
23:36.25 | Blapto | Of course "I've been thrown out of better places than this" |
23:37.09 | Blapto | wethrin, I'm not going to uni if I get into the RAF. |
23:37.20 | pawel | I would not do so many stupid things. |
23:37.23 | wethrin | RAF will often pay your way |
23:37.28 | Blapto | Hmmm |
23:37.30 | pawel | keep my mind straight. |
23:37.33 | Blapto | I'm applying for pilot |
23:37.52 | wethrin | I think as long as you work for them during holidays, and go to them when you graduate |
23:37.56 | Blapto | the RAF likes to take pilots as young as possible (ooo,err) |
23:38.02 | wethrin | fnarr |
23:38.07 | Blapto | old dogs and new tricks. |
23:39.09 | Blapto | http://www.b3ta.com/links/59 |
23:39.10 | Blapto | This |
23:39.38 | wethrin | Old news |
23:41.11 | Blapto | OK |
23:41.18 | Blapto | Just thought you might get a kick out of it |
23:41.29 | wethrin | Aye. But it's clearly a fake |
23:41.36 | wethrin | E&B would never go to the effort of DNA testing |
23:41.53 | Blapto | It's clearly a fake due to the fact that semen washes away. |
23:42.19 | wethrin | There is that too |
23:47.09 | Blapto | RAF have great rules |
23:47.23 | Blapto | No drinking within 12 yards of an aircraft, no smoking within 12 hours of flying |
23:47.23 | Blapto | etc. |
23:49.07 | wethrin | Heh |
23:50.08 | Blapto | I was on a 9 day gliding camp |
23:50.20 | wethrin | Ooh |
23:50.21 | Blapto | I'd completed and soloed within 5 days, so I had 4 days to kill. |
23:50.25 | wethrin | Nice |
23:50.35 | wethrin | Anyway. I need sleep. Night! |
23:50.41 | Blapto | Boss comes up to me "You're 16, right? Take this crate of beer in a freezer, go sleep under that plane for 4 days" |
23:50.42 | Blapto | Fantastic |
23:50.45 | Blapto | Night night |
