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 |

09:16.49 | mozrat | Hi AndrewBlack |
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 |

13:34.27 | George | yeah |
13:34.38 | George | for free. |
13:35.38 | Leeds | so why do you need another phone? |
13:35.48 | George | the slvr doesn't have a keyboard |

18:38.07 | George | you horrible little man |
18:38.07 | mozrat | I think you'll be crying into your exercise book |
18:38.19 | George | I don't have an exercise book |
18:38.24 | mozrat | I've taken a weeks holiday *JUST* to hang out on IRC |
18:38.24 | George | I only have textbooks |
18:38.32 | George | I'm (in)famous for not having any notes |
18:38.35 | George | AT ALL. |
18:38.46 | George | mainly because notes SUCK |
18:38.46 | George | :) |
18:39.24 | mozrat | if you bought a tablet in .tw you could take notes on there |
18:39.48 | George | I don't want a tablet |
18:39.53 | George | the X41 sucks |
18:41.09 | George | mozrat: the X41 has a rated 2.6hr battery life |
18:41.15 | George | mozrat: my X40 has a rated 3.5 |
18:41.37 | mozrat | why would it be so different |
18:41.42 | mozrat | s/$/?/ |
18:41.49 | George | X41 has PCI-E, DDR2, faster FSB etc |
18:42.04 | mozrat | so... it's better? |
18:42.06 | George | they really shafted the battery life |
18:42.14 | George | I have a T43p for speed |
18:42.31 | George | my X40 was for ultra portability and silly amounts of battery life |
18:43.38 | wethrin | Gah. gimp-- # It's lost its crop functionality |

20:37.40 | rhowe | wethrin: Crop tool (shift+c) and a couple of autocrop options (Layer or Image menu, IIRC) |
20:40.02 | wethrin | I tried to find it and failed. |
20:40.09 | wethrin | rhowe: I have some spare CF cards up in Durham |
20:40.32 | AndrewBlack | is Crop a ref to a photoediting tool, or wethrin new hairstyle? |
20:40.47 | AndrewBlack | Is thre a picture of it? |

20:42.13 | wethrin | AndrewBlack: I hope not! But I'll be at Gllug on Tuesday |
20:42.33 | AndrewBlack | I won't be, but I am sure someone can take a photo! |

20:45.22 | rhowe | If anyone has photos from the last gllug social, I will gladly set up an upload account on http://siksai.co.uk/gallery/ircpics |
20:50.55 | rhowe | wethrin: 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...) |

21:11.24 | George | in fact, since xorg 7 was released |
