10:34.11 | mozrat | hi andrew |
10:35.05 | andrew_ | I have decided that I hate computers. |
10:35.18 | andrew_ | specifically computerst that decide not to boot. |
10:36.17 | mozrat | or as I call them... paperweights |
10:36.45 | andrew_ | does anyone know about grub? |
10:37.09 | mozrat | andrew, not a lot unfortunately, sorry. |
10:37.20 | mozrat | andrew, which distro is it? |
10:37.25 | andrew_ | debian |
10:37.56 | mozrat | what happens when you boot? ERRor 13? |
10:38.44 | mozrat | Leeds, anyone interesting? |
10:39.04 | Leeds | mozrat: a little, yes |
10:40.16 | mozrat | Grizzy??? |
10:41.24 | Leeds | no, Maisie... G's in the US for a bit |
10:43.15 | Leeds | she apparently has (had?) a techie ex... she knows about open source, knows about software freedom, even knows the PHP sucks - although she may not be quite sure what that means :-) |

11:50.49 | Erwin | Finally the weather is more bearable. I'll bet when my new evaporative air conditioner arrives Wednesday, there will be no days with sun for the rest of the year |
11:55.30 | zOOz | hi |
11:55.52 | z00dax | Erwin: keep that away from the computers |
11:56.11 | z00dax | I've seen way too many machines die due to the exceptionally high humidity |
12:14.40 | boudiccas | z00dax; you got skype working on your box? |
12:27.51 | wethrin | Morning |

12:34.08 | wethrin | Nothing up north yet |
12:34.21 | boudiccas | it'll come :) |
12:34.28 | goltor | so much cooler... |
12:34.36 | wethrin | mayube :) |
12:34.45 | wethrin | Garforth had thunder yesterday, so maybbe it's going south |
12:35.03 | wethrin | Gah. I really need to get my proper firewall set up |
12:35.21 | boudiccas | i think that its moving up your ways, gradually but may peter out before it reaches you |
12:35.33 | wethrin | Hmm |
12:35.43 | wethrin | I suppose I should go shopping first, then |
12:36.31 | goltor | 'proper' firewall? |
12:36.37 | boudiccas | nah, live life dangerously ... wait for the weather to change :) |
12:39.33 | wethrin | Yeah; OpenBSD box |
12:39.43 | wethrin | Rather than just using my crappy little ADSL router |
12:40.47 | wethrin | Apparently it's raining hard in Oxford |
12:41.03 | wethrin | IRC++ # weather reports from around the country |
12:50.31 | boudiccas | here we're getting the thunder, then a quick shower [just enough to wet the paving in the courtyard] and then warm and humid again |
12:51.27 | goltor | any gentoo users that could offer me some quick advice? |
12:53.22 | Erwin | It's raining in CW too. |
12:53.47 | Erwin | z00dax: Hmm. How far away do you reckon it should be? It's going to cool me as I sit near my computer after all :) |
13:47.34 | wethrin | grr. I appear to have the world's slowest washing machine |

14:28.55 | mozrat | I think I'll just put him on ignore. He is perfectly inoffensive in real life |
14:29.07 | mozrat | just a complete idiot on IRC |
14:35.47 | goltor | imho the way people act on irc is more indicative of their true personality as there's no confrontation as in rl |
14:36.30 | mozrat | I think George gets a lot more confrontation online than in real life |

15:02.11 | mozrat | morsing! |
15:22.25 | mozrat | ibot wake morsing |
15:22.26 | ibot | morsing: GOOD MORNING!!! |
16:08.34 | Leeds | hello |
16:09.03 | mozrat | Hi Leeds |
16:09.15 | Leeds | well, that was a long tiring day |
16:09.33 | mozrat | but fun? |
16:09.57 | Leeds | oh, yes |
16:11.17 | Leeds | went to Lamma, did the walk between the two ferry destinations on the island which takes around 90-120 minutes, had long late lunch in the veggie organic bookstore cafe, wandered around town, had a long slow drink in the Deli Lamma, got the ferry back... |
16:11.41 | mozrat | Sounds good :-) |
16:12.13 | Leeds | came up to my place so she could shower - she lives at the other end of Hong Kong - then went up the Peak in a cab, went and enjoyed the view, did the Peak walk - 90 minutes or so - decided not to eat up there so jumped in a cab down... |
16:13.19 | mozrat | nice |
16:13.38 | Leeds | went to SoHo, tried to get into Enoteca (acetone backwards) which was full, wandered a little, stopped at an Italian place, I had pasta, she had a pizza, we shared a bottle of wine and some desert, and the manager came over and gave us some grappa... then she jumped in a cab home, I jumped on the escalator, just before it closed |
16:13.45 | Leeds | long day... |
16:13.57 | mozrat | I've been debugging why my blog doesn't show images when syndicated by planet, and I've come to the conclusion everyone else in the world needs to upgrade their version of feedparser |
16:14.21 | Leeds | heh |
16:14.24 | mozrat | I've managed to annoy George by saying the words "Hey George" and then I put him on ignore forever |
16:14.29 | Leeds | ever read sam ruby's blog? |
16:14.38 | mozrat | and I tried to learn Twisted |
16:14.41 | mozrat | nope |
16:15.01 | Leeds | worth a look - he's very into his feeds, and he's hacked on feedparser quite a lot to make it more robust |
16:15.48 | mozrat | Cool, I've found the URL |
16:16.39 | Leeds | intertwingly.net, approximately, IIRC |
16:17.21 | mozrat | yes |
16:18.03 | Leeds | he's worth following - I've heard him speak, and he's pretty on the spot when it comes to feeds and scripting - and not just in Ruby :-) |
16:18.29 | mozrat | Leeds: Not about to ask you questions about it now, but do you know much Twisted? |
16:19.08 | Leeds | no... I've looked at it, and pretty much decided that a) it was too complex and b) it was too complex for what I was doing at the time |
16:19.40 | Leeds | too complex for me to be bothered to learn, not too complex in an absolute sense |
16:20.28 | mozrat | It doesn't seem entirely straightforward. Even the most basic of examples requires additional subclasses and then tieing them together in a particular way |
16:20.35 | Leeds | I'm reasonably sure it's very good in the right place |
16:22.24 | goltor | <PROTECTED> |
16:22.38 | Leeds | that's not 100% for sure - zope was meant to be very good, but frankly it isn't |
16:23.17 | mozrat | goltor: somewhere in the deepest depths of my mind I think it does, unless you tell it not too |
16:26.08 | goltor | ok since the last entry is from June 6 and the fact that i hang around in some rather dodgy irc channels, i am going to assume that my snort is in fact officially fuct |
16:26.57 | mozrat | goltor: apart from this channel you mean? |
16:27.09 | Leeds | officially functionaly? |
16:27.19 | Leeds | s/y?$/y?/ |
16:27.27 | goltor | mozrat, yeah i wasn't referring to this chan :P |
16:28.08 | goltor | Leeds, huh? |
16:29.37 | goltor | that sub didn't make sense to me |
16:29.58 | goltor | or ibot apparently |
16:30.14 | goltor | ibot s/y?$/y?/ |
16:31.55 | Leeds | see above: far too much fresh air, dehyration, half a bottle of wine and a shot and a half of grappa... I don't have to make sense :-) |
16:32.20 | goltor | fair enough |
16:32.37 | goltor | Today is Pungeday after all |

16:39.09 | George | hi |
16:42.56 | mozrat | Hmm, I bought a second hand X24 thinkpad the other day - didn't realise how restrictive only one USB port would be |
16:43.13 | mozrat | might have to buy a USB hub |
16:43.14 | Leeds | I bought a new Dell |
16:43.25 | mozrat | I know! |
16:43.32 | Leeds | 3, maybe 4 ports |
16:43.59 | mozrat | What size did you buy? |
16:44.09 | Leeds | 14.1" |
16:44.37 | mozrat | Is this to replace your Apple? |
16:45.10 | Leeds | no... I stopped using my Apple last year when work gave me a thinkpad... I'm going to give the Apple to my dad when I head back next month |
16:45.24 | mozrat | Right |
16:45.27 | Leeds | 4 ports - 2 on the side, 2 on the back |
16:45.44 | Leeds | http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/e1405.ars/2 |
16:45.59 | mozrat | George: Do the newer 12" thinkpads come with more USB ports? |
16:46.07 | George | I've got 2 |
16:46.23 | mozrat | Hmm, thats twice as many as mine :( |
16:46.39 | mozrat | It's nice though - and well wirth the 180 I paid for it |
16:46.46 | mozrat | s/wirth/worth/ |
