| 08:49.21 | cbz | hi mozrat |
| 09:21.32 | Erwin | Leeds: Hey Leeds, you have some kind of Treo with a qwerty keyboard? How do you like it? |
| 09:23.07 | Leeds | I do, and I do |
| 09:23.59 | Erwin | Is it the 650 Palm One or the 700 windows one? |
| 09:24.04 | Leeds | it's a thumbpad, there's no doubt about that, and I wouldn't want to use it often for long stuff, but for SMS, short email, webforms, PIM and so on it's pretty good - and vim is quite usable with it :-) |
| 09:24.12 | Leeds | I'll give you one guess... |
| 09:24.53 | Leeds | the nice thing about it is that it's quite usable with one hand - you can hold the machine and type using only your right hand (or left, I suppose, but I'm a righty) |
| 09:25.30 | *** join/#gllug LeedsTreo (n=upirc@203.142.117.15) |
| 09:25.41 | Erwin | Well, the windows one does seem to have high-speed data (EDGE?), faster cpu etc. But I've used PalmOS before with a Vx, but that's a while back since the current PalmOS on there, presumably |
| 09:26.10 | LeedsTreo | since, you know, you asked about it :-) |
| 09:27.11 | Leeds | the windows one has a slightly faster CPU, more memory, significantly lower resolution screen, and, AFAIK, EV-DO, not EDGE - i.e. it's not a GSM device |
| 09:27.13 | Erwin | I can't find a good qwerty smartphone, all the new ones are coming out just this month, all at once: Motorola Q, Nokia E61, and something from Samsung which is even smaller than the Q |
| 09:27.43 | Erwin | Yeah, I'm not sure if it's even available at all in Europe, it's on Palm's page with a $ price |
| 09:28.01 | Leeds | right... Expansys have it shown as 'pre-order now' |
| 09:28.51 | Leeds | frankly, I wouldn't use a wince device if you paid me |
| 09:29.59 | Leeds | the newer PalmOS is very recognisable - I had 3 Palm III-class devices, and the Treo was very easy for me to get into... it does have some annoyances - the biggest, currently, being the lack of general, high-quality support for background apps |
| 09:30.11 | Leeds | I would choose Symbian over wince any day |
| 09:30.25 | Erwin | Well, I'm not too impressed with the nokia 7610 I have now, running Symbian. It's dead slow. |
| 09:30.57 | Erwin | Treo 650 seems to have EDGE? I'm not sure what that is, just multiple GPRS channels open at once? |
| 09:31.19 | Leeds | I'm not sure - all I know is that it's faster than GPRS and slower than UMTS |
| 09:31.53 | Leeds | my telco here doesn't support it, so all I get is GPRS (i.e. dial-up) speeds - but I do get it unmetered for about 9 quid a month :-) |
| 09:33.27 | Leeds | EDGE support isn't so widespread, since it's an attempt to extend the life of the 2G stuff while everyone is pouring resources into 3G |
| 09:34.45 | Leeds | the 700p is expected next month, but it looks like that's going to be CDMA/EV-DO only for at least a few months as well |
| 09:34.51 | Erwin | Hmm :) Well, I can't make up my mind, none of the phones is clearly superior to others. I have been mocked at work for my giant 2004 phone though :) |
| 09:35.12 | Leeds | the 650 is noticably popular around here - both in my office and HK in general |
| 09:36.43 | MacRohard | I think I want to get the P990 when it eventually comes out |
| 09:36.44 | janvb | 2004 model. That's new compared to the phone i've got now ;) |
| 09:36.52 | Erwin | Ah, the 700p has 1.3 mpx camera, that would be nice. the 1mpx camera on my current phone is actually useful |
| 09:37.32 | Erwin | Looking on the net, seems people either hate or love the 650 |
| 09:37.37 | Leeds | the camera on the 650 is pretty bad |
| 09:37.41 | George | hrmm |
| 09:37.49 | George | bursting with activity now |
| 09:37.52 | George | hello all |
| 09:38.26 | morsing | You can just get in, turn the ignition barrel and go... |
| 09:38.29 | janvb | i still think if you want to take a proper picture, don't use your phone for it. |
| 09:38.29 | George | anyone know where I can get a WinXP OEM Pro disk from? I want to install Windows XP back onto my thinkpad, but I don't want to use their crappy restore disks |
| 09:38.29 | MacRohard | how about to unlock the steering? |
| 09:38.58 | morsing | MacRohard: Nope... No steernig lock |
| 09:39.03 | Leeds | morsing: is this your new car? |

| 09:39.27 | mozrat | how is that new car anyway? |
| 09:39.36 | morsing | mozrat: Yup - no need to worry about forgetting your keys |
| 09:39.36 | mozrat | apart from easy to steal |
| 09:39.37 | Leeds | I drove a car for months with no lock on one of the doors |
| 09:39.50 | morsing | mozrat: Fine, although it needs some work done to it |
| 09:39.57 | MacRohard | heh. wtf ibot does regex? |
| 09:40.04 | MacRohard | s/regex/regular expressions/ |
| 09:40.15 | MacRohard | lunacy |
| 09:40.22 | morsing | MacRohard: Don't encourage him! |
| 09:42.04 | SlayerXP | i only lock the car when in town |
| 09:42.23 | SlayerXP | and the front door gets locked only lynda is the last person to go to bed |
| 09:43.04 | Leeds | SlayerXP: to be fair, you do live in an idyllic 50's country village |
| 09:48.57 | morsing | Just bid on a new ignition lock... |
| 09:49.17 | mozrat | morsing: is it loud/fast/hideously expensive on petrol ? |
| 09:49.49 | Leeds | I appear to have failed to give away a cinema ticket... anyone want to see Ice Age 2 for free in Hong Kong in about 4 hours? |
| 09:49.56 | morsing | Loud: Yes-ish (More of a rumble) |
| 09:50.04 | morsing | Fast: Absolutely not |
| 09:50.20 | morsing | Petrol: Probably, haven't really checked |
| 09:50.23 | mozrat | Leeds: saw it on Saturday, sorry |
| 09:50.28 | Erwin | Leeds: Does stuff like Google maps work on the 650 BTW ? |
| 09:50.32 | morsing | I got 18mpg on a steady 60mph run to Brummieland |
| 09:50.47 | mozrat | one-eight ? |
| 09:50.48 | Leeds | Erwin: never tried it - their coverage of HK is minimal... hang on |
| 09:50.53 | morsing | mozrat: Yes |
| 09:50.58 | Leeds | mozrat: any good? |
| 09:51.04 | morsing | I'm guessing 13-15 around town |
| 09:51.24 | Leeds | Erwin: actually, I'd guess not... it has some javascript support, but I wouldn't think it would be enough for gmaps |
| 09:51.37 | mozrat | Leeds: worth seeing, some amusing bits |

| 14:38.20 | mozrat | we have a change approval process now, but it is fairly speedy |

| 14:51.49 | kbsingh | mozrat: the other option is to get the recpt end to drop spf checks for you |

| 14:51.50 | mozrat | or whitelist us |
| 14:51.50 | kbsingh | does spf have a whitelist policy ? |

| 14:51.50 | mozrat | George: I think you are yes |
| 14:51.51 | kbsingh | one way or the other, i suppose they could prevent the check from going through - i think sa3.0's implementation has a test whitelist |

| 14:56.16 | murb | mozrat: because he is failing it. |
| 14:58.29 | George | mozrat: because I'm lazy, and got a C in my January module |
| 14:58.47 | George | because I HATE CHEMISTRY |
| 14:58.51 | mozrat | Why don't you troll on IRC less and study more? |
| 14:58.59 | George | because I HATE CHEMISTRY |
| 15:03.03 | kbsingh | me too, hated chem, barely made the scores required to get my pass grades |
| 15:03.10 | kbsingh | specially the organic variety |
| 15:03.22 | George | mozrat: but remember I am doing a boatload more A levels than most of the population |
| 15:03.31 | George | well, s/A levels/qualifications/ |
| 15:04.07 | mozrat | How many in a boatload? Sounds like a physics question to me |
| 15:04.30 | George | mozrat: Maths, Further Maths, Statistics, Physics, Additional Further Maths (AS), STEP Maths I, STEP Maths III... |
| 15:04.35 | George | AEA Maths |
| 15:05.02 | George | mozrat: an AS is half an A level... you can't do a full A level in Additional Further Maths :( |
| 15:05.30 | mozrat | right |
| 15:06.02 | George | mozrat: and AEA is Advanced Extension Award, which is the same material as A level, but harder questions |
| 15:06.08 | George | mozrat: and STEP is just plain fucking nasty. |
| 15:06.32 | kbsingh | (maths)++ and (physics)++ |
| 15:06.41 | kbsingh | (chemistry)-- |
| 15:09.32 | George | maths++++++= |
| 15:09.40 | George | who cares about physics |
| 15:09.42 | George | it's all about maths :D |
| 15:10.13 | George | kbsingh: well, you're a loser then :D |
| 15:10.45 | kbsingh | George: we need to have a talk next time we meet |
| 15:11.04 | George | kbsingh: about? |
| 15:11.23 | George | kbsingh: if you're planning on killing me, I'm invincible |
| 15:11.27 | kbsingh | metaphysics |
| 15:11.53 | George | why? |
| 15:11.59 | George | I hate physics |
| 15:12.02 | kbsingh | George: no not you, its your soul that i am interested in -> or whatever that lifeentity that exists inside of you |
| 15:12.42 | kbsingh | dont think I've ever known anyone who was fond of Maths and had a problem with both Physics and Chem |
| 15:17.03 | George | :) |
| 15:17.32 | cbz | I've known plenty, they were all borderline autistic though. |
| 15:17.49 | George | cbz: I think I'm autistic |
| 15:18.18 | cbz | Heh. Yes, the wonderfully excalpatory nature of a medical label. |
| 15:22.17 | George | :D |
| 15:32.35 | stephanb2 | cbz: borderline autistic has a name, it's called Asperger Syndrome |
| 15:34.45 | cbz | A largely meaningless term, but if you want to be pedantic about it .. |

| 16:23.37 | Leeds | yeah... funny guy though :-) |
| 16:24.36 | mozrat | I've been watching a lot of "Rescue Me" recently - catching up on series 1. Funny to hear Denis Leary as the lion |
| 16:24.48 | Leeds | his kung fu moment was good :-) |
| 16:27.44 | Leeds | hmm... Sally Phillips who was the lead in the British 'Rescue Me' (a romcom sitcom) was apparently born in HK |
| 16:28.08 | mozrat | Leeds: ever seen the other "rescue me" ? |
| 16:29.31 | Leeds | isn't it a firefighter drama or something? |
| 16:29.37 | mozrat | yep |

| 16:38.30 | mozrat | excellent |
| 16:38.47 | Leeds | 30 quid or so, including shipping to HK |
| 16:39.35 | mozrat | thats pretty good - how many DVDs? |
| 16:39.38 | Leeds | 4 |
| 16:39.49 | Leeds | it's a little more if you want it shipping to the UK |
| 16:39.51 | mozrat | Cool |
| 16:40.55 | Leeds | the VAT is more than the cost of shipping to HK |
