| 05:13.11 | Leeds | AlecClews: hi |
| 05:13.57 | Leeds | AlecClews: it's just possible we met at gllug before you went to .au |
| 05:15.48 | AlecClews | G'Day All. |
| 05:16.42 | AlecClews | Yes I am the Alec who started gllug way back |
| 05:17.01 | Leeds | I assumed as much |
| 05:17.26 | AlecClews | It's good to see how well gllug is doing. |
| 05:17.38 | AlecClews | Nice website as well |
| 05:17.39 | Leeds | lots of ups and downs |
| 05:18.11 | Leeds | there's a new site waiting to be rolled out |
| 05:18.37 | Leeds | http://gllug.ukfsn.org/ |
| 05:20.01 | AlecClews | Nice |
| 05:20.20 | Leeds | it's (mainly?) mozrat's work |
| 05:20.29 | AlecClews | Is there is still a national conference? |
| 05:20.45 | Leeds | national conference? there's the UKUUG summer Linux conference, if that's what you mean |
| 05:21.08 | AlecClews | That's sounds about it |
| 05:21.51 | Leeds | so how's life in .au? |
| 05:23.12 | Leeds | for the record, I'm in Hong Kong - which is why I'm up about and online at this time of the day/week - moved here about a year ago after almost 7 years in London |
| 05:24.28 | AlecClews | Ah -- I did wonder |
| 05:25.03 | AlecClews | Life in Aus is pretty relaxed. I have just started as a constractor after 8 years working for a US company as a consultant |
| 05:25.20 | AlecClews | contractor I mean of course |
| 05:26.04 | AlecClews | How long are you in HK for? |
| 05:27.16 | AlecClews | I travel to Singapore a fair bit, but never HK |
| 05:52.14 | Leeds | I'm here indefinitely... not for ever, but no fixed period |
| 06:04.21 | AlecClews | Do you like it? |
| 06:10.28 | Leeds | yup |
| 06:10.55 | Leeds | it's a fun place - busy, lively, lots of variety, exotic without being too foreign... |
| 07:04.12 | AlecClews | I have been back to the UK a couple of times in the last couple of years, but I can't see my moving back. Australia is a bit 'white' and complacent. But it's handy to Asia and a good place to bring up the kids |
| 07:19.04 | Leeds | I've been to Oz - Sydney - a couple of times, and I really like it... not sure I would want to live there though - a bit too 'white' and laid-back for me... my sister spent a year or so living in Sydney and is only not there now because she can't get a perm visa |
| 07:20.21 | Leeds | it does pass my number one qualification for somewhere to live - I have family there already :-) |
| 08:30.47 | mozrat | morning |

| 09:24.43 | AlecClews | OpenSource as a phenomenon of world socialism is amusing. I have just spent the last two weeks in the US as part of the Commercial OSS movement, and believe you me there are lots of filthy capitalists looking to make a buck on top of OSS |
| 09:32.25 | mozrat | AlecClews: that doesn't surprise me at all |

| 20:37.40 | rhowe | wethrin: Crop tool (shift+c) and a couple of autocrop options (Layer or Image menu, IIRC) |
