06:41.48 | morsing | Nothing. Got out of bed 40 secs ago :) |
07:02.14 | Cope | bye bye Cope|Home |
07:02.24 | Cope|Home | Cheerio! |
07:39.52 | morsing | Mmm... |
07:56.43 | murb | someone please drop bombs on the local church bells |
07:59.59 | Tarragon | I thought they did not start until about 10am? |
08:01.01 | murb | 09:59 < Tarragon> |
08:01.11 | murb | and no i'm in deutschland and they start a good bit earlier |
08:01.17 | murb | so much for sunday being a rest day |
08:05.13 | morsing | murb: Movie! |
08:06.05 | shaibn | morning ... |
08:06.44 | shaibn | murb, Kolab took 12 hours to finish the install on that old celeron 300mhz :) |
08:06.46 | shaibn | lol |
08:08.37 | shaibn | morning Leeds |
08:08.50 | shaibn | i'm hosting at home, a few sites. i have 1 static ip from my ISP. i want to have two of them ssl secured. they are both two different domain names. is that possible? |
08:09.08 | murb | shaibn: you must run them on different ports |
08:09.17 | shaibn | oh |
08:09.25 | shaibn | 443 445 447 etc etc ? |
08:09.25 | murb | because or get an ssl certificate with a * |
08:09.43 | shaibn | "because or get" ? |
08:11.34 | murb | shaibn: the domain names must be simular |
08:12.06 | murb | so sitea.mysite.il and siteb.mysite.il where the certificate has a cn=*.mysite.il |
08:12.17 | murb | alternatively run on different ports but that isn't very nice either. |
08:13.28 | shaibn | and what about mydomain.com and otherdomain.com ? |
08:13.46 | murb | in that case 2 certificates and different ports, or a second ip :( |
08:14.53 | shaibn | i see. |
08:17.06 | murb | shaibn: you got your l2tpd running yesterday? |
08:32.19 | shaibn | nope. |
08:32.24 | shaibn | waited for you to return ... |
08:38.52 | Leeds | or, possibly not, at least to test |
08:42.21 | murb | shaibn: so you have l2tpd installed now? |
08:45.52 | shaibn | nope. |
08:45.56 | shaibn | waited for you to return ... |
08:45.59 | murb | ok |
08:46.02 | shaibn | oh! |
08:46.10 | shaibn | l2tpd .. yes i do . |
08:46.15 | shaibn | but i aint home ... :( |
08:46.17 | shaibn | i'm at work ... |
08:46.31 | shaibn | and probably, when i return home, you won't be available ... cuz of time diffs ... |
08:46.42 | shaibn | or maybe you will... |
08:46.49 | shaibn | what's your time? |
08:49.24 | murb | UTC+2 ich denke |
08:53.23 | AndrewBlack | one of my machines won't boot. Disk is full. |
08:53.28 | AndrewBlack | time for a tidy! |
08:59.38 | shaibn | murb, what's the time right now for you? |
08:59.51 | shaibn | i'm not very good with converting time zones |
09:00.18 | shaibn | anyways... did get l2tpd working ... |
09:00.23 | Leeds | shai: he's an hour behind you |

09:17.56 | eyore | can anyone see this? |
09:18.09 | Leeds | eyore: |
09:18.12 | Leeds | Cope: me too |
09:18.31 | eyore | i thought you needed to auth with nickserv to talk? |
09:18.47 | Leeds | eyore: nope, only to /msg |
09:19.01 | eyore | omg what a waste of 15minutes |
09:19.17 | eyore | :) |
09:19.33 | Leeds | how many names did you just register? |
09:19.49 | eyore | a thousand or none. i'm not entirely sure |
09:20.15 | eyore | probably none |
09:20.31 | eyore | i think maybe i left an irc client logged in somewhere yesterday |
09:22.05 | AndrewBlack | grr - why does find have -maxdepth and du have --max-depth |
09:22.31 | Cope | probably because du is a gnu tool, and find isn't. |
09:22.39 | Cope | at a guess |
09:23.17 | AndrewBlack | except "GNU find version 4.1.20" |
09:23.29 | Cope | that would be a noteworthy exception to the rule. |
09:24.26 | Leeds | hmm... I may have to go buy a NIC |
09:26.13 | murb | Leeds: can you buy decent nics in .hk? |
09:26.22 | murb | the shops here seem to only have rtl8139s |
09:26.27 | Leeds | one would assume so - I've never bought one here |
09:26.39 | murb | quite funny the price difference for a card with the same chipset |
09:26.48 | murb | you can spend up to 40 euros for one that is *Ready for DSL* |
09:26.52 | Cope | Leeds: has your broken? |
09:27.10 | Leeds | Cope: no, but I'm thinking of making $FILESERVER into $ROUTER at the same time |
09:27.12 | alp | i want 24 carat gold BNC connectors, dammit |
09:27.14 | Cope | mummy has finally demanded her laptop back; so I *must* get my rt2500 one working |
09:27.28 | Cope | and i never have |
09:27.37 | Leeds | Cope: that would be exactly what I'm trying to do right now - and I'm about to give up and go buy another wired NIC |
09:27.55 | Cope | even though iwconfig invariably gives stats indicating all is fine |
09:28.01 | Cope | i can't ever ping the gw |
09:28.04 | Cope | grgrgrgggrgrrr |
09:28.12 | Cope | Leeds: unfortunately wired is not an option for me |
09:28.37 | Cope | i am now going to test the card under windows to make sure the actual card is ok |
09:29.02 | alp | rt4x00s are supposed to work fine, i had one working out of the box a while ago with an ubuntu dapper |
09:29.03 | Cope | oh, and machines can't share a key can they? |
09:29.30 | Cope | so i have to shut down my connection to the world to test the rt2500 |
09:29.36 | Cope | as i only have one key |
09:29.44 | Leeds | the issue I'm having right now is that - however I'm configured - the machine will respond to packets destined for $WIRELESS_IP if they come in on the wired interface... |
09:29.49 | Cope | and then i don't have connectivitity to google |
09:30.12 | Leeds | good old catch-22, eh... |
09:32.11 | eyore | my wireless is sucking |
09:32.19 | eyore | i just got a "T" card to try |
09:32.28 | Leeds | hmm... the Israeli government took office less than a week ago, and the first no-confidence motion has been filed |
09:32.42 | Leeds | eye69: my cousin is using powerline ethernet and is pretty happy with it |
09:32.54 | eyore | good to democracy at work |
09:32.57 | eyore | *see |
09:33.01 | Leeds | eyore: you're going to have to change your name :-) |
09:33.16 | eyore | why? |
09:33.23 | Leeds | because xchat sucks |
09:33.29 | mozrat | Leeds: it was me that said "powerline ethernet" |
09:33.50 | eyore | in what way does xchat sucking affect my nick |
09:34.02 | murb | Leeds: i was thinking about that, but hmm was wondering how standardised it has become |
09:34.09 | murb | and if it is just pointopoint |
09:34.18 | murb | as the devices only seem to be sold in pairs |
09:34.41 | Leeds | I believe you can treat it as a ring |
09:35.31 | Leeds | hmm... I haven't bought a wired NIC in years - I suppose I should be looking at gigabit ones now |
09:35.41 | murb | the box i looked at was talking about DES encryption as well. |
09:36.07 | murb | Leeds: whihc means auto cross over foo which would be useful on its own. |
09:36.18 | Leeds | true |
09:36.43 | murb | i think the 1gb standard mandates that if not requies it. |
09:36.43 | Leeds | apart from eepro1000, any suggestions or avoids? |
09:36.56 | murb | apparently the rtl based chipset isn't *so* bad this time arround |
09:37.11 | murb | (although there is probably a revision 2 or something that costs 50c less to make and is) |
09:37.25 | Leeds | and should I realistically expect any off-the-shelf card to work with Linux? |
09:37.32 | murb | i think so. |
09:37.43 | Leeds | I may pop in here from the mall to confirm... |
09:37.45 | murb | that has been my experience so far with random new motherboards with built in stuff. |
09:37.55 | murb | although this is with recentish 2.6 kernel. |
09:38.05 | eyore | gigabit nics? they largely work with modern distros |
09:38.06 | murb | i know the debian installer with a 2.4 kernel didn't see the interfaces. |
09:38.23 | Leeds | my machines are all 2.6 nowadays anyway |
09:38.33 | eyore | except broadcom which appear to work but are full of bugs |
09:38.38 | Cope | lol |
09:38.40 | murb | oh and the sky2 based stuff are known to have problems |
09:38.46 | murb | or atleast driver bugs |
09:39.10 | murb | Leeds: if you wait 30 seconds i'll check what i've got here. |
09:39.10 | Leeds | laters |
09:39.14 | Leeds | sure |
09:39.26 | Cope | i've used broadcom ones |
09:39.33 | Cope | but with broadcom drivers |
09:39.40 | Cope | not 'linux' drivers |
09:39.45 | eyore | broadcom are ok at low traffic levels, but saturate the line and you get random kernel panics, or under solaris the networking subsystem falls over |
09:40.20 | eyore | both drivers have bugs |
09:40.20 | murb | Leeds: i'm using a Marvell tech 88E8001 with the sky2 driver |
09:40.51 | Cope | eyore: ok; well i've been using them for 2.5 years on hundreds of busy machines without a single problem |
09:40.55 | Leeds | murb: that's a PCI, not onboard? |
09:40.55 | Cope | maybe i've been lucky |
09:41.06 | eyore | Cope: maybe you got lucky |
09:41.10 | murb | Leeds: this one is onboard but they make pci interfaces with that as well. |
09:41.23 | eyore | caused random lockups on our Dell2650 |
09:41.25 | Leeds | okay, I'll look out for it... laters |
09:41.30 | Leeds | and thanks |
09:41.42 | eyore | of course i expect there are a myriad of different revisions |
09:42.09 | eyore | i dug around in some kernel mailing list |
09:42.36 | eyore | and apparently the hardware is buggy and the windows drivers contains loads of workarounds and broadcom won't release full details |
09:42.43 | Cope | eww |
09:42.46 | eyore | usual kind of story |
09:44.11 | murb | rembers even |
09:44.47 | eyore | those dell 2650 have faulty motherboards too |
09:45.15 | eyore | something to do with the ACPI bios bit not releasing memory causes it to always fail memory tests |

10:25.12 | Cope | and are clean, and not populated by nutters? |
10:25.28 | LeedsTreo | certainly do - and they're relatively cheap - this is about 40p, I think |
10:25.39 | z00dax | i havent found a single retail outlet, not even the local h/w vendors, within striking distance from me here.. who are worth going to |

10:32.02 | z00dax | i dont know / remember what the details were ( I was not at xinit at the time ), but blackcat did come up in a few meetings late last year |
10:32.17 | Cope | y'know; de-bricked windows isn't so bad... |
10:32.51 | z00dax | Cope: blasphemy! |
10:33.04 | LeedsTreo | what does de-bricked mean? |
10:33.44 | Cope | put cygwin on it; shut down useless services; get rid of IE; use mostly cygin tools or tools on other machines |
10:34.07 | LeedsTreo | seems a little pointless.. |
10:34.25 | murb | install CoLinux use putty full screen |
10:34.26 | Cope | erm, |
10:34.28 | Cope | ok |
10:34.32 | murb | run an local Xserver |
10:34.37 | murb | but then you may as well have installed linux |
10:34.40 | Cope | murb: that's what i'm doing |
10:34.43 | murb | and avoided the windows overhad. |
10:34.45 | murb | s/had/head/ |
10:34.52 | Cope | murb: yes, unless you have things you need to use windows for |
10:35.08 | Cope | such as software from work that only runs on windows |
10:35.15 | murb | Cope: qemu + wine are enough for my requirements, i don't know about you. |
10:35.22 | Cope | not tried for years |
10:35.31 | Cope | might give that a punt for interest |
10:36.33 | Cope | anyway, the point is, and i grant that this isn't a hacker attitude; things under windows generally do just work; and I don't have to spend days arseing about to get something that works 80% as well. |
10:38.12 | Cope | brb |
10:38.33 | Leeds | home |
10:40.27 | Cope | i suppose that i do a relatively small subset of things, so normally i have no annoyances with linux; but then something comes along, and i have to spend ages fucking about, when on the work laptop it takes 30 secs |
10:40.54 | Cope | yet on the work laptop i have acess to exactly the same tool set as on my linux machine |

11:39.26 | morsing | | |
11:39.32 | morsing | ~ |
11:39.33 | Erwin | I still need to install ChatterEmail, but I haven't used that much email lately |
11:39.47 | morsing | | |
11:40.41 | morsing | Leeds: how do I exit screen? |
11:40.41 | Erwin | Leeds: How about things like: go to end of the line or the beginning, or select a whole line? Do you need the toucpad for that? |
11:40.53 | Leeds | morsing: uh, ctrl-a, d |
11:41.00 | morsing | :) |
11:41.38 | Leeds | Erwin: in what context? |
11:42.49 | Leeds | morsing: in pssh, the center button is ctrl |
11:43.19 | Erwin | Leeds: Editing things in memopad. I use it as a pseudo-todo list, so when something is done I remove it. |
11:44.04 | Leeds | ah, I think you need to go to the screen for that, yes |
11:49.27 | Leeds | Cope: for a refund? |
11:49.40 | Cope | sodding driver installer just "crashes" without any logs or info |
11:49.49 | Cope | and of course, I have *no* control over it |
11:49.50 | Cope | :) |
11:49.55 | Cope | give me linux any time |
11:52.22 | Leeds | Cope: that is, of course, the point |
11:52.37 | Cope | Leeds: yes, which i had foolishly forgotten |
11:53.34 | Leeds | say 10 Hail Linuses and 10 Ave RMSes and you shall be forgiven, my son |
11:53.51 | Cope | at least with linux i will eventually get it to work, i'll learn something from the exercise, have some fun, and be in control./ |
12:08.34 | Erwin | St. IGNUcusius blesses you -- http://www.stallman.org/saintignucius.jpg |
12:14.39 | SlayerXP | looks suspiciously like Herr Cox |
12:15.01 | shaibn | he SlayerXP |
12:15.04 | SlayerXP | it's not, but same sort of thing |
12:15.08 | shaibn | shai, you around? |
12:15.21 | shai | :) |
12:15.22 | SlayerXP | alan cox has stayed at my house. |
12:15.25 | SlayerXP | so ner. |
12:18.50 | Erwin | Does he still? AC is taking an MBA |
12:19.18 | Erwin | Hmm, actually that was in September 2003 :) |
12:19.41 | SlayerXP | Clues paid for him to attned the DTI meeting re: licencing of the code produced by publically-funded research projects |
12:19.56 | Erwin | His diary seems to be in Welsh now |
12:20.15 | Leeds | Erwin: strangely enough, his readership fell to almost zero at about the time that happened |
12:20.40 | Leeds | I suspect, anyway |
12:21.28 | Erwin | Odd that he does consulting work, I would have thought he also could get a high-paying job doing Linux |
12:21.56 | Leeds | who, Alan Cox? Uh, isn't he employed by RedHat any more? |
12:23.26 | Erwin | According to the English part of the diary, he is a technical consultant for http://www.offshoreexecutive.com/ |
12:28.24 | Leeds | I may be a cynic, but I'm not sure that offshorexecutive is 100% serious |
12:30.31 | morsing | Check it! |
12:33.17 | Leeds | 100 packets transmitted, 66 received, 34% packet loss, time 99025ms |
12:33.25 | morsing | ping Leeds |
12:33.29 | Leeds | that's to linux.org.hk from here |
12:33.38 | murb | Leeds: i'm seeing something like that as well. |
12:34.14 | Leeds | murb: it's, well, slightly worse than normal, but I rarely see 100% throughput here... |
12:34.32 | Leeds | rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 329.787/524.077/814.919/93.503 ms - which is *slower* than doing the same ping from a machine in the US |
12:34.34 | Leeds | uh, UK |
12:35.08 | murb | well the pages at linux.org.uk have not opened |
12:35.22 | Leeds | murb: linux.org.hk! not linux.org.uk |
12:35.31 | morsing | murb: Vodie |
12:35.45 | murb | oh |
12:35.46 | murb | i can't read |
12:35.48 | Leeds | morsing: did you want something |
12:35.56 | morsing | murb: It's an anagram |
12:36.09 | morsing | Leeds: Just checking ping times to HK :) |
12:36.10 | shaibn | hmm... |
12:36.15 | morsing | About 83 seconds! |
12:36.16 | shaibn | centos frooze :( |
12:36.28 | Leeds | shaibn: blame z00dax |
12:36.37 | SlayerXP | i concur |
12:36.40 | shaibn | well.. it finished installing... |
12:36.40 | SlayerXP | it's clearly his fault |
12:36.46 | morsing | SlayerXP: You suck |
12:36.47 | shaibn | and then ejected the 3rd cd |
12:36.55 | shaibn | rebooted and didn't load again ... |
12:36.59 | SlayerXP | morsing: i nibble gently too, drives the ladies wild. |

12:40.33 | Leeds | uh... |
12:41.00 | Cope | george has left gllug |
12:41.03 | Cope | he tells me |
12:41.07 | Leeds | hmm... temperature hit 31 degrees today... and I should be going out about now if I'm going to get my fish'n'chips |
12:41.11 | SlayerXP | i saw him say that |
12:41.18 | SlayerXP | i don't think we're that lucky, though |
12:41.29 | Cope | SlayerXP: scary! you were in my room this morning when he spoke to me on msn!? |
12:41.59 | SlayerXP | .... |
12:42.25 | Leeds | Cope: gllug or #gllug? |
12:42.49 | morsing | Cope: Are you serious? |
12:42.56 | Cope | he said gllug - i don't know whether that was super or subset |
12:43.00 | SlayerXP | he said it in here yesterday, or the day before |
12:43.07 | Cope | i just said ok |
12:43.14 | SlayerXP | i declared may 5th AGW day shortly after |
12:43.14 | wethrin | I think you annoyed him too much, SlayerXP :) |
12:43.17 | Cope | as its not been long enough for me to determine if he is being serious |
12:44.03 | shaibn | Leeds, how far back do we go mate? |
12:44.07 | SlayerXP | in theory he has me on ignore |
12:44.10 | SlayerXP | so it's not my fault |
12:44.19 | Leeds | SlayerXP: not on the mailing list |
12:44.19 | SlayerXP | someone else gets the medal |
12:44.30 | Leeds | shaibn: well, it was pesach... 3 years ago? 4? |
12:45.08 | Leeds | more? |
12:45.08 | shaibn | how do you know it was pesach ? |
12:45.30 | Leeds | because I was at my parents' place in Leeds, and I saw you on IRC and said Chag Sameach |
12:45.39 | Leeds | as a random Israeli |
12:45.40 | shaibn | lol |
12:45.43 | shaibn | and you remember that? |
12:45.49 | Leeds | sure |
12:45.55 | shaibn | damn you got a good memorey |

14:40.40 | JAV | hello |
14:55.28 | morsing | JAV! |
14:57.07 | morsing | How can supposedly intelligent people introduce something as pointless as a hose pipe ban? |
14:58.48 | Leeds | are you insulting a great British tradition? |
15:00.00 | morsing | Leeds: According to Thames water their reservoirs are ok |
15:00.02 | morsing | "Where we've got the problem is with the low water levels in the aquifers." |
15:00.18 | morsing | Now, they say the problem is lack of rainfall in 2004-2006 |
15:00.27 | Leeds | there's your first mistake... it doesn't matter what they *say* |
15:00.36 | morsing | But for rain to reach the aquifers will take 30-40 years! |
15:01.05 | morsing | Also, hose pipe usage cannot possible account for more than 1% of private usage! |
15:02.15 | Leeds | I think it's more |
15:02.32 | morsing | Really? I very much doubt that |
15:03.15 | morsing | Leeds: What would the consequence of being caught be? |
15:04.27 | Leeds | thousand pound fine, in theory |
15:04.35 | morsing | http://www.spiked-online.com/Printable/0000000CAFD1.htm |
15:04.45 | morsing | Leeds: Where did you find that? |
15:05.15 | Leeds | "It is an offence to use a sprinkler or hose pipe when a ban is in place and therefore it may attract a fine of up to £1000." http://www.midkentwater.co.uk/household/efficiency/hosepipe%20Q&A.htm |
15:06.27 | morsing | But I'm actually allowed to take a bath (!) and then with a hose use that water to wash my car |
15:06.38 | morsing | They haven't got half a brain do they? |
15:07.29 | morsing | ~seen George |
15:07.32 | ibot | george is currently on #openzaurus (1d 22h 26m 35s) #opie (1d 22h 26m 35s) #handhelds.org (1d 22h 26m 35s) #zaurus (1d 22h 26m 35s) #elinux (1d 22h 26m 35s) #intimate (1d 22h 26m 35s).

15:07.47 | morsing | Hmm... |
15:07.51 | Leeds | you can also continue to fill your pond and swimming pool |
15:08.16 | morsing | And water my garden and wash my cars as long as it's not with a hose... |
15:08.29 | Leeds | just in case you were wondering... |
15:08.34 | morsing | What they should do is install meters in all households |
15:08.34 | Leeds | yeah, use a watering can |
15:09.05 | Leeds | apparently they do, at least some of the companies... but they can't impose it on people, so it's only done with new homes or a change of contract |
15:09.09 | Cope | morsing: what we should do is live on one of the raniest countries in europe |
15:09.11 | Cope | oh... we do |
15:09.21 | morsing | Cope: No we don't |
15:09.43 | Cope | morsing: ok, let's find the top 5 rainiest countries in europe |
15:09.59 | morsing | Norway at the top |
15:10.04 | morsing | Denmark |
15:10.08 | morsing | Holland |
15:10.11 | morsing | Iceland |
15:10.19 | morsing | Fifth? |
15:10.22 | Leeds | Cope: do you remember the period a few years back where Yorkshire water was importing water from Newcastle...by tanker? |
15:11.38 | Leeds | it was just up the road from my parents' place... they had something like 1 tanker every 5 minutes, 24/7, driving up to the reservoir and just dumping the water in |
15:12.01 | Cope | morsing: cite your source, please |
15:12.39 | morsing | Cope: My source is guessing |
15:12.59 | morsing | Bergen is the rainiest place in the world |
15:13.06 | Leeds | it was amazing |
15:15.47 | Cope | morsing: then let's not guess, let's find the statistics |
15:16.06 | morsing | Cope: I can't. Trying |
15:16.50 | Cope | it is hard! |
15:17.02 | Cope | i haven't found them yet either! |
15:17.15 | Cope | Leeds: help us with your google fu |
15:17.43 | Leeds | working on it! |
15:18.39 | Leeds | incidentally, I walked past an establishment last night which made me do a double-take... it was a drinking establishment... |
15:18.42 | Leeds | called Fu Bar :-) |
15:18.55 | morsing | Leeds: Pictures pleassse |
15:19.04 | morsing | Or we won't believe you :) |
15:19.22 | Leeds | on my phone, naturally |
15:19.50 | morsing | George is playing hard to get |
15:19.56 | Cope | morsing: i've found the claim that norway is the rainiest, but it is only an assertion, not backed up by any meteorological evidence. |
15:20.30 | morsing | Cope: All danish schools teach that Norway is the rainiest. That was a no-brainer |
15:21.34 | Cope | morsing: wel i grew up in scotland, and was taught that scotland was the raniest |
15:23.04 | Leeds | we always knew that Yorkshire was the rainest region in England |
15:23.59 | Leeds | http://wanderingjew.co.uk/static/fubar1.jpg and fubar2.jpg - 1 is their sign, but it came out very badly because it's bright in the night... you can just make out the name |
15:28.35 | Leeds | http://www.fao.org/statistics/yearbook/vol_1_1/pdf/a05.pdf - "Water use and national rainfall indexes" |
15:30.04 | Leeds | Papua New Guinea is apparently the wettest place in the world |
15:32.20 | wethrin | Leeds: How much does a small European country cost, then? |
15:33.00 | shaibn | bah! Zimbra is also hard to setup with ThunderBird |
15:33.50 | Leeds | are we including former soviet places? |
15:33.50 | shaibn | though, it in itself isn't hard to install at all .. which is a nice thought ... |
15:33.54 | Cope | initial scan looks to me like 1) Norway 2) Ireland 3) UK |
15:34.02 | Leeds | oh, and I'm only looking at the 2002 figures |
15:34.02 | wethrin | Leeds: Yeah |
15:34.05 | wethrin | I think they're cheap |
15:34.08 | Leeds | Cope: Georgia beats Norway |
15:34.23 | Cope | Leeds: i was looking at 1991-2000 as a better range |
15:34.45 | Cope | Leeds: in which case norway beats georgia |
15:34.51 | Leeds | ah... |
15:34.57 | Leeds | in 2002, Ireland beat Norway |
15:34.58 | Cope | but i hadn't counted georgia as europe |
15:35.38 | Cope | anyway, i think statistically, we are on safe ground saying that uk is one of the wettest countries in europe. |
15:36.04 | Leeds | Kuwait: 36??? |
15:36.41 | Cope | Leeds: ethiopia is rainier than france |
15:41.18 | Leeds | well, we have a very clear - and as yet unmentioned here - winner for Europe... |
15:41.56 | Leeds | Switzerland |
15:42.46 | Leeds | ooh, vim... :sort :-) |
15:43.17 | Leeds | 2002 figures, in order, top 10: |
15:43.50 | Leeds | Switzerland, Georgia, Ireland, Norway, Austria, Albania, UK, Belgium, Portugal, Slovenia |
15:44.45 | shaibn | time to go home ... cya |
15:46.47 | Leeds | to be fair, in 1991-2000 figures, Norway beats Switzerland, which inches out Georgia |
15:47.19 | Erwin | Really, Switzerland is rainy? Or is it all precipitation? |
15:47.27 | Leeds | are we bored of meteorology yet? :-) |
15:47.34 | Leeds | it's listed as rainfall - don't know if it counts snow as well |
15:51.13 | Erwin | I wonder what the rainfall is if we go per city rather than the whole country |
15:51.48 | Leeds | you're going to have to find those stats yourself - it took me long enough to find the national stats and it's getting to bedtime :-P |

15:55.02 | morsing | Having lived in DK and UK I don't believe UK has more rain than DK. At least no timewise |
15:55.09 | morsing | s/no/not/ |
15:57.02 | morsing | Leeds! George is being mean to me :( |
15:57.24 | Leeds | morsing: how so? |
15:57.56 | morsing | He's msg'ing me to stop sending him emails |
15:57.56 | Leeds | oh, and precisely how much of the UK have you lived in, given that both Yorkshire and Scotland certainly get a lot more rainfall than the south-east |
15:58.05 | wethrin | morsing: Have you been sending him emails? |
15:58.09 | morsing | Yes :( |
15:58.30 | Leeds | why? |
15:58.32 | wethrin | That was naughty :) |
15:58.40 | morsing | Leeds: I've been to yorkshire several times during the year and it didn't rain |
15:58.50 | morsing | Leeds: If I go to Denmark it *does* rain |
15:59.02 | morsing | Leeds: Why what? |
15:59.25 | Leeds | I've been to Denmark once and it didn't rain very much - ergo, it doesn't rain very much in Denmark |
15:59.37 | Leeds | why have you been harassing George? |
15:59.39 | murb | Leeds: it rained at the airport though in copenhagen |
15:59.44 | morsing | Leeds: Umm... Did you even talk to Bryan while he was there?! |
15:59.47 | murb | however it was nice at the airport in sweden |
15:59.55 | morsing | What was the first thing he told us? |
16:00.08 | morsing | Leeds: I haven't |
16:00.15 | murb | so i think flying to sweden is the best method for getting to the .dk |
16:00.15 | morsing | I just told him I missed him |
16:00.23 | morsing | murb: FO |
16:00.40 | murb | morsing: flying to .se was the cheapest way of getting to .dk |
16:00.48 | murb | since the bus cost less than 10 quid |
16:00.56 | murb | and took us to downtown copenhagen |
16:01.21 | murb | oh and we went over *the bridge* which was worth 10 quid anyway! |
16:02.25 | Erwin | But that's from Stansted, right? |
16:04.11 | murb | Erwin: stansted to MMX |
16:04.22 | murb | which cost then nearly nothing. |
16:04.33 | Leeds | right, it's Monday - I should be in bed |
16:04.34 | murb | although it did require an overnight bus journey (joy joy) |
16:05.05 | Erwin | Oh well, I pay some more but then walk a few minutes to the DLR and take 6 stops to London City airport :) Checkin about 30 minutes before departure, no lines |
16:05.14 | Leeds | g'night all |

16:25.33 | morsing | Right. And someone flies to CPH from there? |
16:25.39 | mozrat | BA and KLM... |
16:26.17 | mozrat | VLM fly from there as well I think |
16:26.22 | morsing | Right. So why do people go to Heathrow? |
16:26.36 | morsing | s/people/everyone/ |
16:26.39 | mozrat | You can't do long haul from London City |
16:26.54 | mozrat | they only fly small jet and propellor aircraft from there |
16:27.18 | morsing | ! LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end. |
16:27.26 | morsing | Where? |
16:27.43 | mozrat | Where what? |
16:28.28 | morsing | Nevermind mind. I figured it out |
16:28.59 | murb | mozrat: VLM and Luxair |

19:59.46 | cbz | Does it still have Vicki henderson-butler on it ? |
19:59.52 | morsing | cbz: It never had |
19:59.58 | morsing | I don't think |
19:59.58 | wethrin | No. Hasn't had for a looong time, if it ever did |
20:00.04 | cbz | morsing: The original series did. |
20:00.10 | morsing | Mmm... Vicky |
20:00.15 | morsing | Nice |
20:00.17 | cbz | morsing: And then ITV nicked them all for Fifth Gear or something |
20:00.24 | morsing | I would have watched it then :) |
20:00.25 | wethrin | Channel 5 did |
20:00.38 | wethrin | And then the BBC revamped it |
20:00.40 | morsing | She's on Fifth Gear (which is much better) |
20:00.40 | cbz | <- Hasn't had a TV since 1992, and is relying on hearsay |
20:00.56 | wethrin | Meh. 5th gear is dull |
20:01.01 | morsing | cbz: Don't worry, I'll send you a photo of her :D |
