13:41.28ErwinShouldn't you be in central London watching the car parade?
13:43.48cpufreakwhat car parade?
13:43.55cpufreakI live in chelsea, not heard  antyhing
13:45.41ErwinOPening up the Car show in Excel are 250 cars in a parade in central london
13:46.37Erwinfrom model T, to Rolls-Royces, Bentleys etc.
13:56.52cpufreakdoesnt sound desperately interteresting
13:56.57cpufreakin the carpark where my flat is
13:57.04cpufreakthere's half a dozen ferraris
13:57.08cpufreaka few porsches
13:57.14cpufreaka couple of astons
13:57.25cpufreakand some other M-series BMWs
13:57.28cpufreakamongst others
13:58.20ErwinBut no model Ts, I bet.
14:00.32cpufreakno
14:00.40cpufreaknot really interested in model T's to be fair
14:00.50cpufreakcousin usedto have a bunch of decent old cars
14:01.21cpufreak(bristols, lagondas, fraser nashes etc)
14:01.26cpufreakwhich had plenty of grunt
14:01.36cpufreakand were exciting to be in
14:01.43cpufreakin a kinda shit the brakes aren't very good kinda way
14:02.08antiphasethat's all part of the fun
14:02.11cpufreak:)
14:02.39cpufreakbut considering certainly the lagonda lg45 he had, used to be raced
14:02.42cpufreakit was terrifying
14:03.03cpufreakwent on a memorial reconstruction of the ulster Tourist trophy race
14:03.03Leedsargh, my internet connection sucks!!!
14:03.12cpufreakin it about 14 years ago
14:03.12wethrinStop downloading so much!
14:03.53cpufreakanyway
14:03.56cpufreakgot to go to waitrose
14:03.57cpufreakbbl
14:04.06LeedsI'm not - I'm on a shared pipe and other people are abusing it
14:04.24cpufreakI recommend against sharing your pipe out
14:04.28cpufreakyou might catch something
14:04.33Leedscpufreak: no choice
14:04.46Leeds27% packet loss on a wired connection in mid-2006 is just a joke
14:04.58wethrinLeeds: Hubs, rather than switches?
14:05.22Leedsno idea - I plug into the wall, and I have no control of anything past that point
14:05.34Leedsthe first hop is fine, the second is apalling
14:06.50LeedsI 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
14:08.33LeedsARGH!
14:26.14rhoweLeeds: How much is it??
14:26.19rhowe(HK$)
14:28.51Leedsrhowe: nothing - it's part of the services in the building
14:29.34Leedsbut if, say, the cable TV randomly cut out, people would complain - it's not free, it's just not charged as an explict item
14:31.24Georgebisley is boring.
14:31.30rhoweTV > Internet in .hk, I'm afraid
14:31.39rhoweEven though the programming is mostly crap
14:32.53Leedsas I said, I've been promised an upgrade this week... if it happens and it's not perfect afterwards, I shall start complaining again
14:34.06rhowe.hk probably gets >0% loss on its core infrastructure :)
14:34.06Leedsit'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
14:34.33Leedsthis loss is on a 192.168 host run by netvigator - it's the second hop out of my LAN
14:34.34rhoweSure, which will be because of all the P2P users and the thin pipes connecting the ISP to the rest of the world
14:34.39rhoweSarah had the same problems.
14:34.54rhoweeven the ISP's core is probably way oversubscribed
14:34.59LeedsI'm not complaining about the rest of the world - this is within the ISPs core
14:35.39Leedssometimes the connection is fine - fast and reliable - but it's often unusable
15:02.04Leedsfor approximately $1800 - slightly over 600 quid
15:06.57ErwinGeez, google is looking for thousands of people. 36 different engineering jobs in London alone.
15:08.46Leedssomeone has pointed me to some semi-technical jobs they've got listed in HK

18:19.06gregjas if you were stuppid enough not to remember
18:19.16gregjbut I find some of those facts not true
18:19.17z00daxwell, whatever happened on 9/11 - what the media claimed, wasent it
18:19.31z00daxI dont doubt the fact that the us govt was involved
18:19.42halithats not the point... what the media told us what for the greater good.. we don't need to know what really happend
18:19.48haliif we needed to know, they would have told us
18:20.00z00daxhali: you really believe that ?
18:20.02haliyes
18:20.21haliif you can't trust the government and the media, who can you trust?
18:20.29z00daxhaha
18:21.05z00daxyou've obviously had nothing to do ever, with either the govt or mass media

18:22.52ErwinDon't let from him. I'm building a new 20-story river-side rock!
18:23.07z00dax:)

22:54.31wethrinThe correct thing to do is to nip over to Brussels for a day :)
