13:06.59 | antiphase | I'M IN THE FLAT |
13:09.31 | cpufreak | antiphase: I was up in the laek district again yesterday |
13:09.38 | cpufreak | for racing flying fifteens again |
13:09.42 | cpufreak | so today having a lazy day |
13:09.47 | cpufreak | hence why I washed the car |
13:09.51 | cpufreak | and am now sitting at home |
13:10.10 | cpufreak | got to drive later, or else I'd suggest going for beer |
13:10.31 | antiphase | That would be nice, had so much beer recently though |
13:10.38 | cpufreak | lol |
13:10.44 | cpufreak | if we stay at work late |
13:10.46 | cpufreak | we get free beer |
13:10.47 | cpufreak | and free food |
13:10.48 | cpufreak | :D |
13:11.23 | antiphase | Bastards |
13:13.23 | wethrin | free beer++ |

13:27.25 | cpufreak | :) |
13:41.28 | Erwin | Shouldn't you be in central London watching the car parade? |
13:43.48 | cpufreak | what car parade? |
13:43.55 | cpufreak | I live in chelsea, not heard antyhing |
13:45.41 | Erwin | OPening up the Car show in Excel are 250 cars in a parade in central london |
13:46.37 | Erwin | from model T, to Rolls-Royces, Bentleys etc. |
13:56.52 | cpufreak | doesnt sound desperately interteresting |
13:56.57 | cpufreak | in the carpark where my flat is |
13:57.04 | cpufreak | there's half a dozen ferraris |
13:57.08 | cpufreak | a few porsches |
13:57.14 | cpufreak | a couple of astons |
13:57.25 | cpufreak | and some other M-series BMWs |
13:57.28 | cpufreak | amongst others |
13:58.20 | Erwin | But no model Ts, I bet. |
14:00.32 | cpufreak | no |
14:00.40 | cpufreak | not really interested in model T's to be fair |
14:00.50 | cpufreak | cousin usedto have a bunch of decent old cars |
14:01.21 | cpufreak | (bristols, lagondas, fraser nashes etc) |
14:01.26 | cpufreak | which had plenty of grunt |
14:01.36 | cpufreak | and were exciting to be in |
14:01.43 | cpufreak | in a kinda shit the brakes aren't very good kinda way |
14:02.08 | antiphase | that's all part of the fun |
14:02.11 | cpufreak | :) |
14:02.39 | cpufreak | but considering certainly the lagonda lg45 he had, used to be raced |
14:02.42 | cpufreak | it was terrifying |
14:03.03 | cpufreak | went on a memorial reconstruction of the ulster Tourist trophy race |
14:03.03 | Leeds | argh, my internet connection sucks!!! |
14:03.12 | cpufreak | in it about 14 years ago |
14:03.12 | wethrin | Stop downloading so much! |
14:03.53 | cpufreak | anyway |
14:03.56 | cpufreak | got to go to waitrose |
14:03.57 | cpufreak | bbl |
14:04.06 | Leeds | I'm not - I'm on a shared pipe and other people are abusing it |
14:04.24 | cpufreak | I recommend against sharing your pipe out |
14:04.28 | cpufreak | you might catch something |
14:04.33 | Leeds | cpufreak: no choice |
14:04.46 | Leeds | 27% packet loss on a wired connection in mid-2006 is just a joke |
14:04.58 | wethrin | Leeds: Hubs, rather than switches? |
14:05.22 | Leeds | no idea - I plug into the wall, and I have no control of anything past that point |
14:05.34 | Leeds | the first hop is fine, the second is apalling |
14:06.50 | Leeds | I have been told that the connection is going to be upgraded this week - if the upgrade happens and I get less than sane pings and/or more than 0% packet loss, I shall be very annoyed, and very rude |
14:08.33 | Leeds | ARGH! |
14:26.14 | rhowe | Leeds: How much is it?? |
14:26.19 | rhowe | (HK$) |
14:28.51 | Leeds | rhowe: nothing - it's part of the services in the building |
14:29.34 | Leeds | but if, say, the cable TV randomly cut out, people would complain - it's not free, it's just not charged as an explict item |
14:31.24 | George | bisley is boring. |
14:31.30 | rhowe | TV > Internet in .hk, I'm afraid |
14:31.39 | rhowe | Even though the programming is mostly crap |
14:32.53 | Leeds | as I said, I've been promised an upgrade this week... if it happens and it's not perfect afterwards, I shall start complaining again |
14:34.06 | rhowe | .hk probably gets >0% loss on its core infrastructure :) |
14:34.06 | Leeds | it's not so much the raw speed - it's plenty fast, topping out at about 4mbit/s - it's the latency and packet loss which is crap |
14:34.33 | Leeds | this loss is on a 192.168 host run by netvigator - it's the second hop out of my LAN |
14:34.34 | rhowe | Sure, which will be because of all the P2P users and the thin pipes connecting the ISP to the rest of the world |
14:34.39 | rhowe | Sarah had the same problems. |
14:34.54 | rhowe | even the ISP's core is probably way oversubscribed |
14:34.59 | Leeds | I'm not complaining about the rest of the world - this is within the ISPs core |
14:35.39 | Leeds | sometimes the connection is fine - fast and reliable - but it's often unusable |
15:02.04 | Leeds | for approximately $1800 - slightly over 600 quid |
15:06.57 | Erwin | Geez, google is looking for thousands of people. 36 different engineering jobs in London alone. |
15:08.46 | Leeds | someone has pointed me to some semi-technical jobs they've got listed in HK |

18:19.16 | gregj | but I find some of those facts not true |
18:19.17 | z00dax | well, whatever happened on 9/11 - what the media claimed, wasent it |
18:19.31 | z00dax | I dont doubt the fact that the us govt was involved |
18:19.42 | hali | thats not the point... what the media told us what for the greater good.. we don't need to know what really happend |
18:19.48 | hali | if we needed to know, they would have told us |
18:20.00 | z00dax | hali: you really believe that ? |
18:20.02 | hali | yes |

18:21.45 | z00dax | got some more space under there ? I'd love to rent some from you |

18:22.30 | z00dax | gregj: can i interest you in some under-the-rock space ? |
18:22.50 | hali | the only problem is that it is quite difficult to find a good hair dresser down here |
