05:42.17 | Leeds | not bad... big blisters |
05:42.56 | Leeds | my one purchase in one of Asia's great shopping cities was me-sized trousers from M&S :-) |
05:43.25 | mozrat | heh |
06:43.57 | morsing | 'morning |
06:44.07 | mozrat | hey morsing |
06:44.15 | morsing | mozzie! |
06:44.40 | mozrat | How was your weekend? |
06:45.29 | morsing | Cool :) And something not so cool :( |
06:46.00 | morsing | Yours? |
06:47.51 | mozrat | hot! |
06:48.41 | Leeds | morsing: problem? |

07:43.00 | SlayerXP | morning |
07:49.38 | mozrat | I had to describe it as "You see that porsche? And the Merc behind it? Mines the piece of shit behind that!" |
07:49.46 | Leeds | heh |
07:49.54 | SlayerXP | i need a cheap runaround |
07:50.15 | mozrat | got here at 0600 |
07:50.30 | mozrat | which a) avoided congestion and b) avoided the congestion charge |
07:53.14 | Leeds | is cab considered public transport? |
07:54.03 | mozrat | I don't think so |
07:54.05 | mozrat | Maybe |
07:56.02 | SlayerXP | yes |
07:57.48 | Leeds | anyway, total journey cost was about $38, which isn't bad |
07:58.08 | mozrat | Leeds: when do you finish your job? |
07:58.13 | Leeds | 25/8 |

08:21.45 | Leeds | I may have to do something to get out of the habit of writing 2000+ word blog entries... |
08:23.04 | mozrat | heh |
08:23.35 | Leeds | that's post 1 of 3 for today |
08:24.17 | Leeds | 1) Singapore 2) Israel/Lebanon, part 2 3) World Cup, part 2 |
08:24.54 | mozrat | Point 2 is a bit of a mess at the moment |
08:25.04 | Leeds | did you read my part 1? |
08:25.10 | mozrat | Not yet |
08:25.19 | Leeds | are you waiting for part 2? |
08:26.14 | mozrat | Not really. I was just commenting that Israel/Lebanon is a mess |
08:26.39 | Leeds | and did you read my attempt to explain some of the background? |
08:26.44 | mozrat | up way too early this morning |
08:26.50 | mozrat | I read your last post on Israel |
08:26.52 | mozrat | last week |
08:26.57 | Leeds | on Thursday? |
08:27.04 | mozrat | Yes |
08:27.13 | Leeds | right, got to write part 2 of that |
08:27.29 | Leeds | also, Planet Gllug doesn't point to my blog |
08:30.17 | mozrat | oh. It doesn;t |
08:30.31 | mozrat | and that link times out - is priorityinversion dead now? |
08:30.41 | Leeds | yeah, pretty much |
08:31.43 | Leeds | thing is, I didn't really want to add my new one to the site until I'd worked out how to make it put summaries in the (or a) feed - don't really want to flood the site out with essays, rather than short posts |
08:32.36 | mozrat | Most blogs have a "read more" option |
08:32.41 | Leeds | still haven't worked out how to do that... should probably post the question to pybloxsom's mailing list |
08:32.44 | mozrat | which blog server are you using? |
08:32.51 | mozrat | pyblosxom.. |
08:33.02 | Leeds | yeah, always get that confused |
08:34.33 | Leeds | http://ascher.ca/blog/2004/09/20/pyblosxom-plugin-emsummaryem-emakaem-extended-entry/ or something might work, but I'd prefer it to be more automatic - take the first couple of <p>'s or something, rather than having to mark up the published part specially |
08:35.25 | Leeds | the solution, of course, would be for me to work out how plugins actually work and write my own |
08:39.09 | Leeds | mozrat: woohoo - you're the Official Spokesman :-) |
08:42.58 | mozrat | Leeds: :-| |
08:43.19 | mozrat | the official spokesman should be first name "Gllug" last name "Admin" |
08:43.26 | mozrat | with an address of gllugadmin@gllug.org.uk |
08:46.11 | Leeds | but more likely than not, you'd be the one to answer, right? |
08:46.25 | morsing | SlayerXP sucks |

11:54.14 | mozrat | It's a good idea, but I don't know when it would be needed |
11:54.21 | Leeds | there have been discussions in the past of responding to negative press type things 'in the name of gllug' |

15:07.17 | mozrat | Yes, from the last GLLUG meeting in London as well :-/ |
15:07.34 | stephanb2 | gosh they finished rebuilding this valve computer ??? |
15:08.13 | stephanb2 | hang on.. they didn't have those suns during WWII :-o |
15:09.49 | Cope | I think we only have one sun, and it has been around for about 4.5 billion years |
15:10.16 | mozrat | Cope: it flickered last week |
15:11.01 | mozrat | Ha! Betcha wished you had come now |
15:11.45 | Cope | a museum of complete computers |
15:11.57 | Cope | 'tis a super place |
15:13.40 | stephanb2 | does the valve replica actually work now ? |
15:13.55 | z00dax | yes, i think so |
15:13.56 | morsing | Yes |
15:14.22 | stephanb2 | jeez, and they demonstrate a cyphertext being broken by it ? |
15:14.27 | z00dax | and we were told it runs at about the same speed as a P-II |
15:14.41 | morsing | z00dax: Does it?! |
15:15.01 | wethrin | For code-breaking, yes |
15:15.03 | morsing | 5000 per second. My PII can do more than that, surely |
15:15.13 | morsing | Just comparing stuff |
15:15.48 | wethrin | morsing: It's one every 200 microseconds |
15:15.55 | stephanb2 | morsing: well, try to rebuild your PII with valves and we'll talk about it |
15:16.38 | wethrin | 200,000 clock cycles (on a 1GHz CPU) to try one code? |
15:16.50 | z00dax | the last time I used a p-2 for anything was so long ago that I dont remember |
15:17.00 | z00dax | but i am sure the Alpha-500 will do more :) |
15:17.01 | wethrin | The Colossus could make cracking attempts in parallel, which a P2 can't do |
15:18.05 | morsing | wethrin: What?! 200,000 to try one code? What?!?! |
15:18.31 | stephanb2 | wethrin: 200kHz is not so hard to acheive with valves, after all. but you couldn't do that with relays. and that was the point. |
15:21.13 | wethrin | stephanb2: Hmm? |
15:21.46 | wethrin | morsing: You think that's excessive? |
15:22.17 | stephanb2 | wethrin: 200,000 clock cycles is 200kHz, that's well within valve's frequency range |

15:55.58 | Blapto | (/sarcasm) |
15:56.07 | z00dax | Blapto: why ? |
15:56.23 | Blapto | To set up a vlan so I can send a new server down there in a few days time |
15:56.47 | z00dax | Blapto: who are you hosting with ? directly with a redbus rack or via a reseller ? |
15:57.04 | Blapto | It's my employer, not me |
15:57.19 | Blapto | but they buy a few sq ft off redbus direct, and buy bandwidth from 3 sources and BGP them |
15:57.44 | z00dax | a cage then... |

15:58.21 | Blapto | it's a rack, but we provided it |
15:58.22 | z00dax | wethrin: tey suck |
15:58.29 | wethrin | who? Exo? |
15:58.35 | z00dax | very expensive |
15:58.43 | wethrin | Mm. Not for my purposes :) |
15:58.47 | wethrin | But if you use > 40GB/month... |
15:58.48 | z00dax | they have about a 80% markup for b/w costs |
15:59.10 | Blapto | and power and rackspace and support? |
15:59.11 | wethrin | You can probably come to an agreement with Mark, though, about that |
15:59.21 | wethrin | I get power |

16:02.16 | z00dax | the other problem i have is that 2 of my machines are ATX types. not U'd server's |
16:02.28 | z00dax | but those machines need < 10gb/month of traffic |
