00:07.20 | wethrin | rhowe: :-) |
00:07.39 | Leeds | djw: dpm |
00:07.44 | Leeds | don't say things like that |
00:08.19 | wethrin | Leeds: Do you remember the metro closest to the Grand Place? |
00:08.42 | djw | Leeds: mmmm, it does mean I've not done anything whilst you've been sleeping |
00:10.25 | djw | it's also weird that I live near a city called Leeds too |
00:12.12 | Leeds | djw: uh, I think you'll find it's the same Leeds I'm nicked after |
00:12.23 | wethrin | rhowe: So from the London lot wanting the youth hostel, I've got new2unix, you, Henrik, pdr and formi. Yes? |
00:12.28 | wethrin | Plus Cope who can't come |
00:13.37 | djw | Leeds: yeah |
00:13.57 | Leeds | wethrin: Bourse, isn't it? from a quick look at the map... |
00:15.02 | Leeds | or possibly De Brouckere |
00:15.58 | rhowe | wethrin: You've got me, that's for sure |
00:16.00 | wethrin | Leeds: Thanks |
00:16.11 | wethrin | rhowe: I just checked. That is the London lot |
00:16.16 | wethrin | rhowe: You're driving with pdr, yes? |
00:16.18 | rhowe | wethrin: Yes |
00:16.40 | wethrin | Right. Give a shout when you get to Brussels |
00:16.47 | wethrin | Are you going to be heading straight to the hostel? |
00:16.49 | rhowe | wethrin: Willdo. I'll have my mobile on me |
00:17.06 | rhowe | wethrin: No idea.. I'll only have that smallish black bag with me, so no trouble to head straight to the pub :P |
00:17.51 | wethrin | rhowe: Yeah, but things about checking into the hostel |
00:18.49 | rhowe | wethrin: *nod* |
00:19.07 | rhowe | wethrin: I'll just follow the others :P |
00:19.19 | Leeds | y'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? |
00:19.21 | rhowe | wethrin: I guess pdr'll drive straight to the hostel and find a parking space, but I dunno |
00:19.32 | rhowe | Leeds: Sure will - the snow last year was lovely |
00:19.40 | rhowe | Leeds: Even if I don't quite remember all of it |
00:20.47 | wethrin | Leeds: We will think of you |

00:50.27 | Leeds | you'll wear condoms tomorrow? |
00:50.27 | wethrin | Like that's gonna happen at Fosdem :-P |
00:50.40 | wethrin | Leeds: Most unlikely |
00:50.56 | Leeds | some hot Belgian chick with a thing for ivory-tower geeks? |
00:51.11 | wethrin | Hence I said 'most unlikely', rather than impossible |
00:51.12 | djw | yeah, you never know |
00:51.24 | djw | there might be some hardcore geek-groupies hanging around |
00:51.34 | Leeds | actually, I think I'd lean towards impossible... |
00:52.09 | wethrin | Ah, but surely Fosdem is a great place for meeting geeks? :) |
00:52.18 | Leeds | well, yes |
00:52.34 | djw | I think I've wasted most of today looking at geek girl websites |
00:52.50 | Leeds | uh... |
00:53.17 | wethrin | djw: At least one of them is going to be talking at Fosdem.... |
00:53.24 | djw | see! |
00:53.33 | djw | bet she already has a boyfriend though |
00:53.47 | wethrin | Probably. Although rumours were that she was single last year |

09:47.02 | Leeds | they were in Canadia, they saw a Mac, they liked, today is a birthday, we bought, I installed, they gaped |
09:48.18 | stephanb2 | And they are now happy with Fedora PPC on a (non-intel) mac mini :-) |
09:49.32 | Leeds | nope, they're learning to be happy with MacOS on an Intel iMac |
09:50.27 | stephanb2 | oh they should b able to cope with that |
09:51.32 | stephanb2 | i imagine OS-X on Intel is as buggy as the first PPC release ? |
09:54.40 | Leeds | seems to work rather well |
09:54.59 | rhowe | Leeds: I didn't realise they were already shipping x86 boxes |
09:55.36 | Leeds | yeah, the iMacs went out a few weeks ago, and the the first PentiumBooks went out this week |
09:56.30 | Leeds | and for the record, Front Row - the going-to-be-a-media-player-when-they-finish-it thing - is pretty nice and very gape-inspiring |
09:57.47 | Leeds | not sure when it was on, but did anyone see this Dawkins anti-religion show? |
09:58.42 | rhowe | I saw a trailer for it a while back |
09:58.45 | rhowe | Channel 4, right? |
09:59.25 | Leeds | dunno - doesn't make much of a difference to me ;-) seems like ch4 or bbc2+ though |
09:59.42 | stephanb2 | Leeds: well apple needs to polish Front Row in order to start selling movies on the iTunes Music Store, innit ? |
10:00.06 | Leeds | stephanb2: right |
10:00.12 | stephanb2 | are there no Intel Mac minis ? |
10:00.46 | Leeds | "Isn't this the beginning of that slippery slope which leads to young men with rucksacks blowing themselves up on the Tube?" |
10:00.51 | Leeds | not until next week, no |
10:01.38 | stephanb2 | Leeds: next week come the young men in rucksacks, or the mac minis ? ;-) |
10:02.01 | Leeds | mac minis, I hope |
10:02.33 | Leeds | this program is *very* anti-religion... I saw it referenced online as something which couldn't be shown in the US |
10:03.04 | stephanb2 | Leeds: do mac minis use laptop hard drives ? |
10:03.46 | Leeds | at the moment they do |
10:04.12 | Leeds | there isn't really space for a 3.5inch drive |
10:04.49 | stephanb2 | hmm, so drive performance is more sluggish than on a normal desktop :-( |
10:05.03 | Leeds | yes... |
10:06.54 | gregj | mac mini sux |
10:07.08 | gregj | I have one, and have to admit this is piece of sluggish poo |
10:07.16 | rhowe | Laptop drives tend not to be specced for continuous operation, either |
10:07.21 | gregj | not even that |
10:07.27 | gregj | it is based on eMac board |
10:07.39 | gregj | so the memory is slower, and the whole "chipset" thing is |
10:07.41 | Leeds | I have one and I'm pretty happy with it |
10:07.50 | Leeds | as a headless machine |
10:07.59 | gregj | as long as you put 1GB of ram in it, it's fine |
10:08.11 | gregj | and what drives me insane is lack of audio input and midi |
10:08.18 | gregj | I have to use external card |
10:08.36 | gregj | I dream about iMac |
10:08.45 | gregj | but my goldsack is empty for now |
10:10.27 | Leeds | I gave it a bunch of swap and I don't run heavy stuff on it... vpn, bt, ssh mainly |
10:11.20 | gregj | I have apple mail, iTunes, safari, and garageband quite often |
10:11.33 | gregj | for the latter to behave propertly I have to shut down all others first |
10:11.44 | gregj | but I only have 512MB for now, need to feed it with 1G |
10:11.46 | Leeds | oh, I don't run MacOS on mine |
10:12.12 | gregj | :) |
10:12.12 | Leeds | never intended to - I run slackintosh on it |
10:12.25 | gregj | I am happy with mac os x |
10:12.31 | gregj | and I am running linux on my PC laptop |
10:12.49 | gregj | I have mail and music on one, and development on linux |
10:13.07 | gregj | althrough I am working on Cocoa software now, so I need mac os x for development too |
10:13.30 | gregj | Leeds: any chance you can give a spin on my little example apps, that are universal binaries on intel mac ? |
10:13.41 | gregj | I bet they will work, but just don't have intel mac to try |
10:15.03 | Leeds | possibly |
10:15.58 | gregj | http://gj.pointblue.com.pl/projects/theStrlen.app.zip http://gj.pointblue.com.pl/projects/socketsTest.app.zip |

10:16.03 | Cope | rhowe: any joy with flights? Don't want to duplicate your inquiries! |
10:16.22 | Leeds | can't do it now - Sunday, maybe... email me the links |
10:17.21 | Leeds | to gmail |
10:17.46 | gregj | it's nothing that important, I thought you have those iMacs somewhere near now |
10:18.31 | Leeds | nah, I'm at home, it's at the cousins' |
10:24.53 | Leeds | this 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... |
10:29.29 | Leeds | hmm... Google, Apple, Wikipedia, BBC onscreen in quick succession |
10:29.52 | stephanb2 | Leeds: u run slackintosh on a PPC mac mini coz it's faster than OSx i presume ? |
10:30.52 | z00dax | <-- is *also* not on the train! |

10:32.01 | z00dax | Cope, thanks for the msg earlier |
10:32.26 | Leeds | stephanb2: because I don't need any of the MacOS, but I like slackware |
10:34.12 | Cope | "but its unix!" |
10:34.24 | SlayerXP | there's certainly no _technical_ reason to use osx |
10:34.45 | Cope | "but its pretty!" |
10:35.09 | stephanb2 | Cope: i dont find macs "cool". I find them style over substance, like Bang and Olufsen. |
10:35.28 | Cope | skugg has advanced the best 'its the best tool for the job' arguments so far |
10:35.28 | z00dax | Cope, I use Mac's - but I run Linux on them |
10:35.48 | Cope | I use whatever is lying around |
10:36.06 | Cope | which atm is an old ultra 10, an old dell, and a thinkpad |
10:36.10 | SlayerXP | z00dax: you use Mac's _what_ ? |
10:36.39 | z00dax | SlayerXP, :) machines... |
10:36.47 | SlayerXP | does he know? |
10:37.15 | z00dax | cant afford to fork out for an openpower 720 or something such, so the PowerMac's my ppc platform |
10:37.48 | SlayerXP | explain 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'; |
10:38.00 | SlayerXP | errr, this isn't my postgres console |
10:38.12 | SlayerXP | nevertheless, kindly explain why that query hogs. |
10:38.13 | z00dax | am 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 |
10:39.13 | stephanb2 | yes they are "pretty", but as I see them as mostly "locked" machines I don't see myself buying any soon |
10:40.01 | SlayerXP | i seem them as mostly being bought by the same idiots who get fooled into buying dell kit |
10:40.47 | SlayerXP | the end result being amusing for the rest of us: idiots having their wallets emptied in exchange for underpowered overpriced tat |
10:40.56 | z00dax | stephanb2, if you can get them at a decent price - they are very well built machines and performance is also very good |
10:41.19 | z00dax | I have a dual opteron 1.8Ghz machine and a dual G5 2.0Ghz machine sitting on my desktop at work ( well, my workstations ) |
10:41.56 | z00dax | and performance is very similar for most of the jobs - in some cases the G5 makes the opteron look like a wannabe |
10:43.00 | z00dax | although, if it was a 'general purpose computer desktop' for anyone doing most usual stuff, I'd opt for the opteron mostly |
10:46.11 | z00dax | I'd like to say 'sits in the corner humming away' ... but its more like.. sits in the corner 'thundering' away |
10:47.43 | stephanb2 | why do i have the *illusion* that dell is value-for-money and apple is high-street fashion rip-off ? |
10:48.44 | z00dax | thats kinda like BrandEquity and USP coming together for you |
10:49.06 | z00dax | dell isnt really value for money beyond the lower end spectrum |
10:49.38 | z00dax | Apple, however, does like to be seen as a high street sort of brand - which will ( like sony ) charge a brand premium |
10:50.27 | stephanb2 | <PROTECTED> |
10:50.35 | stephanb2 | s/tem/them |
10:51.13 | z00dax | stephanb2, 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 |
10:51.40 | stephanb2 | no, in the days of G2 PPC, we bought 2 Umax clones |
10:51.42 | z00dax | personally - i think Apple is wanting to go down the route of a consumer electronics company and be just that |
10:51.53 | z00dax | ah, i remember umax now. |
10:52.01 | mozrat | morning z00dax |
10:52.07 | stephanb2 | well they will succed where M$ is desperate to go |
10:52.09 | mozrat | and everyone |
10:52.09 | z00dax | heya mozrat |
10:52.54 | stephanb2 | also isnt apple now in the business of selling music and soon movies, and devices to listen/watch them |

11:05.01 | SlayerXP | it's warmer here in norway |
11:05.17 | stephanb2 | fyi my next machine is planned to be a homebuilt Athlon64 / Gigabyte mobo |
11:05.29 | z00dax | SlayerXP, while I've never really been a dell fan ( have 1 dell machine ) - they do seem to sell a lot of machines |
11:05.44 | stephanb2 | z00dax: already finished plugging those 24 drives :-o |
11:05.51 | z00dax | stephanb2, what chipset ? if you plan on using sata raid etc, make sure it works |
11:06.17 | z00dax | stephanb2, taking a break |
11:06.59 | z00dax | I demand a PFY |
11:08.16 | stephanb2 | z00dax: no i plan to use onboard sound, video and usb. Chipset nVidia nForce430, graphics nVidia 6100 |
11:08.56 | z00dax | should mostly work, you might want the livna.org's nvidia drivers - or just get them from nvidia directly |
11:09.45 | stephanb2 | so far i have had a very good experience building nvidia modules from their source |
11:14.30 | z00dax | here is an interesting one - maybe someone can shed some light |
11:14.43 | z00dax | If I run a mailing list - do i then need to be registered with the DPR ? |
11:14.53 | z00dax | or is an Email Addy not the same as a Postal addy ? |
11:19.20 | SlayerXP | you don't |
11:19.56 | SlayerXP | the DPR is only required if you will expose your customer data in such a way that a cusomter could be identified |
11:19.59 | SlayerXP | you are not. |

11:53.21 | z00dax | lots of bigass crap like OOo1.1.2 does not even like -j2 |
11:53.50 | stephanb2 | i would like to write an old-school (2d limited colours) pinball game |
11:54.02 | stephanb2 | is java a good platform for this? |
11:54.26 | z00dax | I can safely tell you that prolog is not very good for this sort of an app |
11:54.37 | stephanb2 | :-D |
11:54.57 | stephanb2 | oh I was dabbling between Lisp, Pascal and Ada |
11:55.13 | z00dax | (lisp)++ |
11:55.19 | z00dax | or even better (smalltalk)++ |
11:55.29 | z00dax | but in this case, we'll let you get away with Java |
11:55.58 | Erwin | ITYM (+ 'lisp 1) |
11:56.01 | stephanb2 | will java play some sound ? |
11:58.12 | Erwin | Windows 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? |
11:58.23 | George | gentoo is fantastic |
11:58.35 | z00dax | Erwin, stop using winduze |
11:58.51 | z00dax | I bet that fix's the problem |
11:59.17 | z00dax | faster.. faster.. faster... |
11:59.26 | Erwin | No, I'm not going to stop playing World of Warcraft :) |
11:59.59 | z00dax | is there no linux client as yet ? |
12:00.22 | Erwin | Hmm, I installed ntp-server but it seems it didn't run at start |
12:00.28 | Erwin | Or maybe it doesn't like the time being off by 1 hour |
12:02.15 | Erwin | And I have UTC=no in my /etc/default/rcS. Hmm. |
12:06.15 | z00dax | damn |
12:06.41 | z00dax | this backup is going to take another 2 hrs, which means i wont make the fosdem train |
12:36.36 | z00dax | awrite, i am off - l8r all |

13:39.16 | mozrat | it appears to be but I'm getting messages saying it isn't |
13:39.24 | mozrat | and I get fairly slow FPS in glxgears |
14:00.40 | George | ok, it was done by substituting x=2cosht |

14:06.05 | mozrat | Leeds! hello |
14:06.09 | Leeds | mozrat! |
14:07.14 | Leeds | mozrat: you would appear to be using accelerated GL, but with 18-month-old drivers |
14:07.30 | mozrat | Leeds, oh |
14:07.31 | Leeds | and with AGP 1x |
14:07.39 | mozrat | oh (again) |
14:07.55 | mozrat | I'm using stock SUSE10 packages |
14:08.04 | Leeds | may or may not help |
14:09.05 | George | mozrat: ok... |
14:13.33 | Leeds | can I be bothered to go out again this evening? |
14:14.01 | mozrat | Leeds, no |
14:14.31 | George | there's an 'out'? |
14:15.00 | Leeds | there is an out... I've been there once this evening, I was there last night, I'll be there tomorrow night... |
14:28.12 | mozrat | ok - so epoch is the number of seconds since 1/1/70... |
14:28.18 | mozrat | what is this time called http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adschema/adschema/a_pwdlastset.asp |
14:28.30 | mozrat | This value is stored as a large integer that represents the number of 100 nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601 (UTC). |
14:29.04 | Cope | mozrat: how odd |
14:29.13 | mozrat | Cope, very strange |
14:29.18 | Cope | something someone made up in the pub |
14:29.50 | mozrat | of course some lovely person has written a Python function for this already |

14:34.31 | Blapto | That tired! |
14:34.44 | Blapto | Got to school, 0840, "Shit. forgot my bag." |
14:34.57 | Blapto | 0950 it sinks in "SHIT! My bag has things in it that I might need!" |
14:35.05 | George | haha school. |
14:37.11 | Blapto | As do I, I left a good hour ago |
14:37.19 | Cope | forever? |
14:37.25 | Blapto | Nope |
14:37.33 | Blapto | But I don't actually remember what I did today. |
14:38.00 | Blapto | Except being shook awake in physics, murming something about flux and electromotive force and falling back asleep again |
14:54.03 | Leeds | ah, no work tomorrow (shopping and karaoke) and some decent nightlife... going down to the pub in a few minutes in Wanchai (one of the nightlife districts) |
14:54.20 | Blapto | Karaoke/ |
14:54.34 | Leeds | it's a birthday party |
14:54.48 | Blapto | Ah, ok |
14:55.06 | Leeds | the girl I fell out with last week who apparently isn't bothered enough about it that she doesn't want me at her birthday party |
14:55.14 | mozrat | thats good |
14:55.35 | Leeds | yup |
14:55.55 | Leeds | although my nasty side keeps making noises like "that's because she's got a goldfish memory" |
14:56.16 | mozrat | Grrrrr - just had an autodialer offering me a holiday to Florida and then an argument when I got through to a human |
14:56.25 | mozrat | "Can I speak to your manager?" |
14:56.32 | mozrat | "I *AM* a manager, sir" |
14:56.37 | mozrat | fscker |
14:56.50 | Leeds | are you on TPS? |
14:56.58 | mozrat | Leeds, I'm at work |
14:57.08 | mozrat | it has never happened before |
14:57.52 | Leeds | ah, TPS doesn't apply to non-residential lines, AFAIK |
14:59.28 | mozrat | I can't believe he asked to speak to my manager - cheeky sod |
