00:01.42djwIt only seems like five minutes ago when Leeds went to bed
00:02.06rhoweAh, passport
00:07.20wethrinrhowe: :-)
00:07.39Leedsdjw: dpm
00:07.44Leedsdon't say things like that
00:08.19wethrinLeeds: Do you remember the metro closest to the Grand Place?
00:08.42djwLeeds: mmmm, it does mean I've not done anything whilst you've been sleeping
00:10.25djwit's also weird that I live near a city called Leeds too
00:12.12Leedsdjw: uh, I think you'll find it's the same Leeds I'm nicked after
00:12.23wethrinrhowe: So from the London lot wanting the youth hostel, I've got new2unix, you, Henrik, pdr and formi. Yes?
00:12.28wethrinPlus Cope who can't come
00:13.37djwLeeds: yeah
00:13.57Leedswethrin: Bourse, isn't it? from a quick look at the map...
00:15.02Leedsor possibly De Brouckere
00:15.58rhowewethrin: You've got me, that's for sure
00:16.00wethrinLeeds: Thanks
00:16.11wethrinrhowe: I just checked. That is the London lot
00:16.16wethrinrhowe: You're driving with pdr, yes?
00:16.18rhowewethrin: Yes
00:16.40wethrinRight. Give a shout when you get to Brussels
00:16.47wethrinAre you going to be heading straight to the hostel?
00:16.49rhowewethrin: Willdo. I'll have my mobile on me
00:17.06rhowewethrin: No idea.. I'll only have that smallish black bag with me, so no trouble to head straight to the pub :P
00:17.51wethrinrhowe: Yeah, but things about checking into the hostel
00:18.49rhowewethrin: *nod*
00:19.07rhowewethrin: I'll just follow the others :P
00:19.19Leedsy'all will think of me, stuck here in the tropics, with nothing but a week in Australia to look forward to, while you're out freezing bits off in Brussels, right?
00:19.21rhowewethrin: I guess pdr'll drive straight to the hostel and find a parking space, but I dunno
00:19.32rhoweLeeds: Sure will - the snow last year was lovely
00:19.40rhoweLeeds: Even if I don't quite remember all of it
00:20.47wethrinLeeds: We will think of you

00:47.42wethrinOkay. I have Funny-money, flight confirmation number, clothes, passport. What else do I need to take with me?
00:49.11wethrinOh, I also have the hostel booking reference
00:49.20Leedslaptop?
00:49.23wethrinNo
00:49.30Leedsphone
00:49.30wethrinI don't do that at Fosdem
00:49.34wethrinYeah
00:49.39wethrinNever leave without it :)
00:49.43Leedsshoes?
00:49.55wethrinWill wear them tomorrow
00:50.01djwcondoms
00:50.18wethrinHeh.
00:50.27Leedsyou'll wear condoms tomorrow?
00:50.27wethrinLike that's gonna happen at Fosdem :-P
00:50.40wethrinLeeds: Most unlikely
00:50.56Leedssome hot Belgian chick with a thing for ivory-tower geeks?
00:51.11wethrinHence I said 'most unlikely', rather than impossible
00:51.12djwyeah, you never know
00:51.24djwthere might be some hardcore geek-groupies hanging around
00:51.34Leedsactually, I think I'd lean towards impossible...
00:52.09wethrinAh, but surely Fosdem is a great place for meeting geeks? :)
00:52.18Leedswell, yes
00:52.34djwI think I've wasted most of today looking at geek girl websites
00:52.50Leedsuh...
00:53.17wethrindjw: At least one of them is going to be talking at Fosdem....
00:53.24djwsee!
00:53.33djwbet she already has a boyfriend though
00:53.47wethrinProbably. Although rumours were that she was single last year
00:54.06djwSINGLE!
00:54.39wethrin:-)
00:55.44wethrinProbably not for very long

09:47.02Leedsthey were in Canadia, they saw a Mac, they liked, today is a birthday, we bought, I installed, they gaped
09:48.18stephanb2And they are now happy with Fedora PPC on a (non-intel) mac mini :-)
09:49.32Leedsnope, they're learning to be happy with MacOS on an Intel iMac
09:50.27stephanb2oh they should b able to cope with that
09:51.32stephanb2i imagine OS-X on Intel is as buggy as the first PPC release ?
09:54.40Leedsseems to work rather well
09:54.59rhoweLeeds: I didn't realise they were already shipping x86 boxes
09:55.36Leedsyeah, the iMacs went out a few weeks ago, and the the first PentiumBooks went out this week
09:56.30Leedsand for the record, Front Row - the going-to-be-a-media-player-when-they-finish-it thing - is pretty nice and very gape-inspiring
09:57.47Leedsnot sure when it was on, but did anyone see this Dawkins anti-religion show?
09:58.42rhoweI saw a trailer for it a while back
09:58.45rhoweChannel 4, right?
09:59.25Leedsdunno - doesn't make much of a difference to me ;-)  seems like ch4 or bbc2+ though
09:59.42stephanb2Leeds: well apple needs to polish Front Row in order to start selling movies on the iTunes Music Store, innit ?
10:00.06Leedsstephanb2: right
10:00.12stephanb2are there no Intel Mac minis ?
10:00.46Leeds"Isn't this the beginning of that slippery slope which leads to young men with rucksacks blowing themselves up on the Tube?"
10:00.51Leedsnot until next week, no
10:01.38stephanb2Leeds: next week come the young men in rucksacks, or the mac minis ? ;-)
10:02.01Leedsmac minis, I hope
10:02.33Leedsthis program is *very* anti-religion... I saw it referenced online as something which couldn't be shown in the US
10:03.04stephanb2Leeds: do mac minis use laptop hard drives ?
10:03.46Leedsat the moment they do
10:04.12Leedsthere isn't really space for a 3.5inch drive
10:04.49stephanb2hmm, so drive performance is more sluggish than on a normal desktop :-(
10:05.03Leedsyes...
10:06.54gregjmac mini sux
10:07.08gregjI have one, and have to admit this is piece of sluggish poo
10:07.16rhoweLaptop drives tend not to be specced for continuous operation, either
10:07.21gregjnot even that
10:07.27gregjit is based on eMac board
10:07.39gregjso the memory is slower, and the whole "chipset" thing is
10:07.41LeedsI have one and I'm pretty happy with it
10:07.50Leedsas a headless machine
10:07.59gregjas long as you put 1GB of ram in it, it's fine
10:08.11gregjand what drives me insane is lack of audio input and midi
10:08.18gregjI have to use external card
10:08.36gregjI dream about iMac
10:08.45gregjbut my goldsack is empty for now
10:10.27LeedsI gave it a bunch of swap and I don't run heavy stuff on it... vpn, bt, ssh mainly
10:11.20gregjI have apple mail, iTunes, safari, and garageband quite often
10:11.33gregjfor the latter to behave propertly I have to shut down all others first
10:11.44gregjbut I only have 512MB for now, need to feed it with 1G
10:11.46Leedsoh, I don't run MacOS on mine
10:12.12gregj:)
10:12.12Leedsnever intended to - I run slackintosh on it
10:12.25gregjI am happy with mac os x
10:12.31gregjand I am running linux on my PC laptop
10:12.49gregjI have mail and music on one, and development on linux
10:13.07gregjalthrough I am working on Cocoa software now, so I need mac os x for development too
10:13.30gregjLeeds: any chance you can give a spin on my little example apps, that are universal binaries on intel mac ?
10:13.41gregjI bet they will work, but just don't have intel mac to try
10:15.03Leedspossibly

10:16.03Coperhowe: any joy with flights? Don't want to duplicate your inquiries!
10:16.22Leedscan't do it now - Sunday, maybe... email me the links
10:17.21Leedsto gmail
10:17.46gregjit's nothing that important, I thought you have those iMacs somewhere near now
10:18.31Leedsnah, I'm at home, it's at the cousins'
10:24.53Leedsthis is great - Dawkins attacking an American nutter preacher, who is trying to tell him there are people who know more about evolution than he does...
10:29.29Leedshmm... Google, Apple, Wikipedia, BBC onscreen in quick succession
10:29.52stephanb2Leeds: u run slackintosh on a PPC mac mini coz it's faster than OSx i presume ?
10:30.52z00dax<-- is *also* not on the train!
10:30.54z00daxI am at a client site, something came up last night and I've had to come into work today for a few hours
10:31.20Copeannoyin
10:31.20Copeg
10:31.24z00daxI am now on the 17:29 out from Ashford later today
10:31.44z00daxCope, work pays for new ticket. but yes - I was hoping for the extra time in brusseles
10:32.01z00daxCope, thanks for the msg earlier
10:32.26Leedsstephanb2: because I don't need any of the MacOS, but I like slackware
10:34.12Cope"but its unix!"
10:34.24SlayerXPthere's certainly no _technical_ reason to use osx
10:34.45Cope"but its pretty!"
10:35.09stephanb2Cope: i dont find macs "cool". I find them style over substance, like Bang and Olufsen.
10:35.28Copeskugg has advanced the best 'its the best tool for the job' arguments so far
10:35.28z00daxCope, I use Mac's - but I run Linux on them
10:35.48CopeI use whatever is lying around
10:36.06Copewhich atm is an old ultra 10, an old dell, and a thinkpad
10:36.10SlayerXPz00dax: you use Mac's _what_ ?
10:36.39z00daxSlayerXP, :) machines...
10:36.47SlayerXPdoes he know?
10:37.15z00daxcant afford to fork out for an openpower 720 or something such, so the PowerMac's my ppc platform
10:37.48SlayerXPexplain select count(*),to_char(timestamp 'now' - interval '1 week','HH24:MI:SS, FMDay, FMMon FMDDth, YYYY') from abdata where source='kunnskapsparken' and to_domain='hinterlands.org' and is_spam and is_infected is false and time_in >= timestamp 'now' - interval '1 week';
10:38.00SlayerXPerrr, this isn't my postgres console
10:38.12SlayerXPnevertheless, kindly explain why that query hogs.
10:38.13z00daxam waiting for the intel based powermac's to make an entry, then will go and get me a nice juicy PowerMac G5... and maybe wont need to pay the Apple brand premium then
10:39.13stephanb2yes they are "pretty", but as I see them as mostly "locked" machines I don't see myself buying any soon
10:40.01SlayerXPi seem them as mostly being bought by the same idiots who get fooled into buying dell kit
10:40.47SlayerXPthe end result being amusing for the rest of us:  idiots having their wallets emptied in exchange for underpowered overpriced tat
10:40.56z00daxstephanb2, if you can get them at a decent price - they are very well built machines and performance is also very good
10:41.19z00daxI have a dual opteron 1.8Ghz machine and a dual G5 2.0Ghz machine sitting on my desktop at work ( well, my workstations )
10:41.56z00daxand performance is very similar for most of the jobs - in some cases the G5 makes the opteron look like a wannabe
10:43.00z00daxalthough, if it was a 'general purpose computer desktop' for anyone doing most usual stuff, I'd opt for the opteron mostly
10:46.11z00daxI'd like to say 'sits in the corner humming away' ... but its more like.. sits in the corner 'thundering' away
10:47.43stephanb2why do i have the *illusion* that dell is value-for-money and apple is high-street fashion rip-off ?
10:48.44z00daxthats kinda like BrandEquity and USP coming together for you
10:49.06z00daxdell isnt really value for money beyond the lower end spectrum
10:49.38z00daxApple, however, does like to be seen as a high street sort of brand - which will ( like sony ) charge a brand premium
10:50.27stephanb2<PROTECTED>
10:50.35stephanb2s/tem/them
10:51.13z00daxstephanb2, cloned h/w ? the only other company I've ever heard of doing that was pegasos - and i think they are still doing G4 based machines
10:51.40stephanb2no, in the days of G2 PPC, we bought 2 Umax clones
10:51.42z00daxpersonally - i think Apple is wanting to go down the route of a consumer electronics company and be just that
10:51.53z00daxah, i remember umax now.
10:52.01mozratmorning z00dax
10:52.07stephanb2well they will succed where M$ is desperate to go

11:05.17stephanb2fyi my next machine is planned to be a homebuilt Athlon64 / Gigabyte mobo
11:05.29z00daxSlayerXP, while I've never really been a dell fan ( have 1 dell machine ) - they do seem to sell a lot of machines
11:05.44stephanb2z00dax: already finished plugging those 24 drives :-o
11:05.51z00daxstephanb2, what chipset ? if you plan on using sata raid etc, make sure it works
11:06.17z00daxstephanb2, taking a break
11:06.59z00daxI demand a PFY
11:08.16stephanb2z00dax: no i plan to use onboard sound, video and usb. Chipset nVidia nForce430, graphics nVidia 6100
11:08.56z00daxshould mostly work, you might want the livna.org's nvidia drivers - or just get them from nvidia directly
11:09.45stephanb2so far i have had a very good experience building nvidia modules from their source
11:14.30z00daxhere is an interesting one - maybe someone can shed some light
11:14.43z00daxIf I run a mailing list - do i then need to be registered with the DPR ?
11:14.53z00daxor is an Email Addy not the same as a Postal addy ?
11:19.20SlayerXPyou don't
11:19.56SlayerXPthe DPR is only required if you will expose your customer data in such a way that a cusomter could be identified
11:19.59SlayerXPyou are not.

11:20.29ErwinSo, don't put everyone's email on one big CC list :-)
11:20.37SlayerXPbasically.

11:53.50stephanb2i would like to write an old-school (2d limited colours) pinball game
11:54.02stephanb2is java a good platform for this?
11:54.26z00daxI can safely tell you that prolog is not very good for this sort of an app
11:54.37stephanb2:-D
11:54.57stephanb2oh I was dabbling between Lisp, Pascal and Ada
11:55.13z00dax(lisp)++
11:55.19z00daxor even better (smalltalk)++
11:55.29z00daxbut in this case, we'll let you get away with Java
11:55.58ErwinITYM (+ 'lisp 1)
11:56.01stephanb2will java play some sound ?
11:58.12ErwinWindows insists on setting my clock to non-GMT but time with DST.. every time I boot to Windows and return to Linux it's one hour ahead. Any idea how I can fix that?
11:58.23Georgegentoo is fantastic
11:58.35z00daxErwin, stop using winduze
11:58.51z00daxI bet that fix's the problem
11:59.17z00daxfaster.. faster.. faster...
11:59.26ErwinNo, I'm not going to stop playing World of Warcraft :)
11:59.59z00daxis there no linux client as yet ?
12:00.22ErwinHmm, I installed ntp-server but it seems it didn't run at start
12:00.28ErwinOr maybe it doesn't like the time being off by 1 hour
12:02.15ErwinAnd I have UTC=no in my /etc/default/rcS. Hmm.
12:06.15z00daxdamn
