08:31.52 | huw-l | what's surprising about that? |
08:32.26 | hali | it ONLY took three times longer |
08:32.43 | huw-l | oh right, I see your point |
08:33.40 | hali | and besides, i should be glad they actually sent it straight from paris to london.. didn't even go via abudabi |

11:30.05 | mozrat | Excellent stuff. I shall celebrate with a meatball 6" sub from Subway |
11:30.16 | boudiccas | enjoy :) |
11:30.52 | mozrat | boudiccas: have you ever looked at steganography tools? |
11:30.55 | mozrat | they are very cool |
11:31.29 | mozrat | You can hide one file inside another |
11:31.46 | mozrat | so I could send you a message that is "invisibly" hidden inside an image |
11:32.05 | boudiccas | mozrat; yes, but only on windoze, not on linux |
11:32.14 | mozrat | Put the image on eBay or Flickr etc and then you covertly get the image at some later date |
11:32.41 | mozrat | (although would the message survive being mangled through Ebays image resizing foo etc?) |
11:33.11 | boudiccas | don't know anything about steganography under linux at all, except for the general principles |
11:34.33 | mozrat | heh |

11:48.15 | boudiccas | mozrat; I wonder why it worked from your shell script but not from my clipboard? |
12:11.48 | mozrat | boudiccas: yeah, dunno |
12:35.41 | morsing | Check it! |
12:37.20 | boudiccas | morsing; done that, now what? |
12:37.34 | morsing | beer |
12:37.49 | boudiccas | morsing; your round then :) |
12:37.57 | morsing | :) |
12:39.06 | morsing | George: Behave |
12:39.31 | George | no |
12:39.34 | George | shut up. |
12:45.14 | morsing | How odd?! File with no name or date but has a size |
12:45.36 | morsing | Turns out someones has tried to use back space when creating the file |
12:46.04 | morsing | This isn't being mapped correctly so when ls displays it, the back spaces deletes some of the output |
12:46.11 | morsing | Have you ever seen that before? |
12:47.54 | morsing | mozrat? |
12:48.40 | cpufreak | http://badger.ing.me.uk/hrm.txt |
12:48.45 | cpufreak | someone care to explain that? |
12:51.10 | cpufreak | works when root, not when as user nagios. |
12:53.45 | JAV | good afternoon |
12:57.25 | morsing | JAV! |

13:52.55 | wethrin | morsing! |
13:52.57 | morsing | Where did Leeds go? |
13:53.03 | wethrin | Is ext3 endian-neutral? |
13:53.37 | morsing | wethrin: Surely it can't be? |
13:54.04 | wethrin | Why not? |
13:55.48 | morsing | It's too big? |
13:56.23 | morsing | ping mozrat |
13:57.22 | wethrin | errr? |

15:46.36 | eye69 | morsing |
15:48.54 | hali | wethrin: ext3 is not endian-neutral... you can install vxvm/vxfs for free if you need endian-neutraility on linux |

16:13.09 | George | moo. |
16:35.49 | wethrin | hali: Really? That was a bit short-sighted of the developers |
16:36.27 | hali | its just ext2 with a own slapped on it's back :) |
16:36.29 | hali | owl* |
16:36.47 | hali | backwards compatability etc... ext4 seems to be a better fresh start |
16:39.43 | wethrin | grrrr. Which means I won't be able to swap the innards of my fileserver with a Sun machine |

16:47.34 | Blapto | http://www.theregister.com/2006/07/13/fish4_goes_down/ see that? |
16:49.12 | goltor | nice |
16:49.42 | goltor | the register's got all the bofh's doesn't it? |
16:49.53 | wethrin | Only the ones 2000 onwards |
16:50.02 | wethrin | Previous ones should still be at http://bofh.ntk.net |
16:50.02 | goltor | yeah not as good |
16:50.11 | goltor | read the 2004 ones at work the other day |
16:50.22 | goltor | pretty shady in comparison to the originals |
16:50.33 | wethrin | Yeah |
16:50.42 | wethrin | 97/98 were my favourites |
16:51.08 | goltor | u r dan? |
16:51.16 | wethrin | Yarr |
16:51.17 | goltor | or andrew |
16:51.22 | goltor | k |
16:51.22 | wethrin | no |
16:52.02 | Blapto | Dan, you down in London? |
16:52.39 | wethrin | goltor: I guessed from your email address :-) |
16:52.47 | goltor | indeed |
16:52.50 | wethrin | Thanks for coming down to the pub |
16:52.54 | wethrin | Blapto: No |
16:52.57 | wethrin | I was last week |
16:53.19 | Blapto | Ah, ok |
16:53.26 | goltor | black sabbath - black sabbath, nice |
16:57.50 | Blapto | Just spent a day install RT |
16:57.56 | wethrin | fun |
16:57.59 | Blapto | complete bitch to get running, but nice software |
16:58.19 | goltor | RT? |
16:58.38 | Blapto | http://www.bestpractical.com/rt |
16:58.52 | Blapto | ticketing system |
16:58.58 | cpufreak | RT is not nice |
16:59.04 | Blapto | Oh? |
16:59.21 | cpufreak | with >2million tickets in it, even on an 8 way opteron as a database server, it crawls. |
16:59.34 | cpufreak | due to its poor schemas, and inefficient queries |
16:59.50 | wethrin | cpufreak: Have you thought about closing the tickets? :) |
16:59.56 | Blapto | I don't think we'll hit that number any time soon |
16:59.58 | cpufreak | most of these tickets would be resolved |
17:00.11 | cpufreak | but it also creates a new user for any tickets that get emailed in |
17:00.18 | cpufreak | so for customer services shite its dire |
17:00.24 | Blapto | even if they have the same e-mail address |
17:00.25 | cpufreak | its alright for internal corportate stuff |
17:00.26 | Blapto | ? |
17:00.29 | cpufreak | Blapto: no |
17:00.41 | Blapto | then surely that's the behaviour that you want |
17:00.54 | cpufreak | well yes |
17:01.06 | cpufreak | but if you delete the original ticket (as in delete, rather than just resolve) |
17:01.13 | cpufreak | it doesn't do anything to the request |
17:01.14 | Blapto | ah, yes, there's no way of deleting users in RT |
17:01.18 | cpufreak | so say you get dicitonary attacked |
17:01.24 | cpufreak | you get butfucked |
17:01.41 | cpufreak | with a twenty foot tentpole |
17:01.45 | cpufreak | which I'm told is quite painful |
17:01.51 | Blapto | I'd aimagine |
17:01.54 | Blapto | imagine |
17:02.02 | cpufreak | at $new_job we use RT internally |
17:02.10 | cpufreak | but the developers here wrote a new frontend |
17:02.19 | cpufreak | so it uses the RT perl libraries |
17:02.26 | cpufreak | but a much more streamlined front end |
17:02.29 | cpufreak | its quite nice |
17:02.33 | Blapto | well I'm off home |
17:02.36 | cpufreak | ciao |
17:02.39 | Blapto | see you later |
17:02.46 | goltor | heard of HEAT ? |
17:04.21 | cpufreak | in what context? |
17:04.23 | cpufreak | temperature? |
17:04.25 | cpufreak | the film? |
17:04.33 | cpufreak | the magazine? |
17:04.58 | cpufreak | or a ticketing system? |
17:05.04 | goltor | ticketing |
17:05.30 | cpufreak | no |
17:05.45 | goltor | probably a good reason for that ;) |
17:06.04 | cpufreak | but thats because until a month ago I'd not experienced corportate life |
17:06.22 | cpufreak | ISPs generally don't pay for stuff if there's a free alternative |
17:06.23 | goltor | actually it's not that bad |
17:06.27 | cpufreak | even if it causes grunts hassle |

17:07.19 | cpufreak | the only things I've used are RT, PRISM Resolve, and Remedy really |
