05:13.11LeedsAlecClews: hi
05:13.57LeedsAlecClews: it's just possible we met at gllug before you went to .au
05:15.48AlecClewsG'Day All.
05:16.42AlecClewsYes I am the Alec who started gllug way back
05:17.01LeedsI assumed as much
05:17.26AlecClewsIt's good to see how well gllug is doing.
05:17.38AlecClewsNice website as well
05:17.39Leedslots of ups and downs
05:18.11Leedsthere's a new site waiting to be rolled out
05:18.37Leedshttp://gllug.ukfsn.org/
05:20.01AlecClewsNice
05:20.20Leedsit's (mainly?) mozrat's work
05:20.29AlecClewsIs there is still a national conference?
05:20.45Leedsnational conference?  there's the UKUUG summer Linux conference, if that's what you mean
05:21.08AlecClewsThat's sounds about it
05:21.51Leedsso how's life in .au?
05:23.12Leedsfor 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
05:24.28AlecClewsAh -- I did wonder
05:25.03AlecClewsLife in Aus is pretty relaxed. I have just started as a constractor after 8 years working for a US company as a consultant
05:25.20AlecClewscontractor I mean of course
05:26.04AlecClewsHow long are you in HK for?
05:27.16AlecClewsI travel to Singapore a fair bit, but never HK
05:52.14LeedsI'm here indefinitely... not for ever, but no fixed period
06:04.21AlecClewsDo you like it?
06:10.28Leedsyup
06:10.55Leedsit's a fun place - busy, lively, lots of variety, exotic without being too foreign...
07:04.12AlecClewsI 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
07:19.04LeedsI'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
07:20.21Leedsit does pass my number one qualification for somewhere to live - I have family there already :-)
08:30.47mozratmorning

08:35.23mozratthis is very interesting - shame it is on the same day as Aprils GLLUG meeting > http://www.worldsocialism.org/posters/20060416-freesoftware.pdf

09:16.49mozratHi AndrewBlack
09:24.43AlecClewsOpenSource 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
09:32.25mozratAlecClews: that doesn't surprise me at all
09:34.22mozratvgjjf
09:36.58mozratHmm, my son appears to have visited #gllug when I went upstairs

12:16.34arika-chanthe onus is on you to prove it in the first place

18:38.19GeorgeI don't have an exercise book
18:38.24mozratI've taken a weeks holiday *JUST* to hang out on IRC
18:38.24GeorgeI only have textbooks
18:38.32GeorgeI'm (in)famous for not having any notes
18:38.35GeorgeAT ALL.
18:38.46Georgemainly because notes SUCK
18:38.46George:)
18:39.24mozratif you bought a tablet in .tw you could take notes on there
18:39.48GeorgeI don't want a tablet
18:39.53Georgethe X41 sucks
18:41.09Georgemozrat: the X41 has a rated 2.6hr battery life
18:41.15Georgemozrat: my X40 has a rated 3.5
18:41.37mozratwhy would it be so different
18:41.42mozrats/$/?/
18:41.49GeorgeX41 has PCI-E, DDR2, faster FSB etc
18:42.04mozratso... it's better?
18:42.06Georgethey really shafted the battery life
18:42.14GeorgeI have a T43p for speed
18:42.31Georgemy X40 was for ultra portability and silly amounts of battery life

20:37.24rhowewethrin: are you sure? Crop was there last time I looked, in several forms
20:37.40rhowewethrin: Crop tool (shift+c) and a couple of autocrop options (Layer or Image menu, IIRC)
20:40.02wethrinI tried to find it and failed.
20:40.09wethrinrhowe: I have some spare CF cards up in Durham
20:40.32AndrewBlackis Crop a ref to a photoediting tool, or wethrin new hairstyle?
20:40.47AndrewBlackIs thre a picture of it?
20:42.04wethrinPicture editing
20:42.13wethrinAndrewBlack: I hope not! But I'll be at Gllug on Tuesday
20:42.33AndrewBlackI won't be, but I am sure someone can take a photo!
20:44.59rhoweAndrewBlack: Hm.. there should be some from the last gllug social floating around somewhere
20:45.22rhoweIf anyone has photos from the last gllug social, I will gladly set up an upload account on http://siksai.co.uk/gallery/ircpics
20:50.55rhowewethrin: It's not too urgent - I've been offered one already, and that should suffice (although I think a London pint is quite a high price to pay for a 32M CF card...)
20:51.47rhowewethrin: Maybe I can make it a London.pm pint :P
20:51.54wethrinYeah :)
21:09.30z00daxif the 'said burger' never actually existed, how could it have been yours George  ?

21:11.19z00daxwithout any patches from outside ati.com ?
21:11.24Georgein fact, since xorg 7 was released
21:11.32Georgez00dax: not as far as I'm aware.
