04:00.48George"At the other end of the scale, the average student in Cambridge spent £206 per week, but made just £69 from term-time employment."
04:00.55Georgehow the fuck do you spend 206 pounds a week
04:01.39Georgeoh wait, that includes accommodation
04:02.39Georgebut still, accommodation is about 70 quid a week, that means you're spending 130 quid on food..
04:03.07Leedsand booze, travel, clothes, books, etc. etc.
04:03.40Georgebooze counts as food
04:03.50Leedsno it doesn't
04:03.53Georgeyes it does

07:52.05sabinef72it's the verb "to be" but with a special conjugaison
07:52.17sabinef72it means : Is it a declaration ?
07:52.30sabinef72SlayerXP: but George will laugh at you
07:52.40sabinef72because George knows I'm already married !!!!!!

08:04.08Leedssabinef72: what?
08:05.02sabinef72Leeds: well you want a tea, but a green tea, but with ice, but with lemon, but with a biscuit.....
08:06.02Leedssabinef72: SlayerXP, having threatened me with his power as list admin, then showed the correct respect when I showed my power in return
08:06.38LeedsI never asked for a biscuit!
08:06.51morsingsabinef72: I was hardly at home but had a good weekend with some problems
08:07.19morsingSpend the whole weekend at a very good friend's house

08:08.12SlayerXPi was on call all weekend
08:08.27SlayerXPbut given i have _zero_ access to the live environment, it was a moot point
08:08.30morsingSlayerXP: Did you sleep more than 4 hours over the weekend?

08:28.53Leedsalso, good afternoon Cope
08:30.06Leedsa little girl dying of cancer in a New York hospital wants you to send around this poem she wrote (incidentally, also, written by a bloke called David) and the American Cancer Society will pay 3c towards her treatment for everyone who reads it
08:30.45halicool.. i wonder how they audit the "reads"
08:30.45morsingCope!
08:30.57halione might even think it's a hoax
08:31.53Leedshali: if one had the slightest clue how the internets worked, yes... but there must be things somewhere on the series of tubes which let them count emails
08:32.35halimust have a massive regexp stretching over all those tubes... matching that poem
08:33.12rhoweDon't be silly
08:33.30rhoweIt's monitored via the malware 99% of desktops have installed
08:33.55Leedsanyway, since of course it was cc:ed not bcc:ed, I sent back a reply to everyone... ha ha ha
08:34.16Cope,morning
08:54.37Leedshmm... forgot I'd arranged to meet a couple of guys this evening for drinks - was thinking this was my night off this week... probably pub quizzing on Tuesday, leaving drinks and a mass dinner (conflict!) on Wednesday, and a comedy club with Indian buffet on Thursday
08:56.01morsingLeeds: When are you back again?
08:56.16Leeds27th - might be going to Spain for a few days that week
09:00.49morsingBut we're still meeting for a drink?

09:17.21phearlesslucky.
09:17.34sabinef72:-)
09:18.55LeedsCamille again
09:21.22sabinef72the radio only knows her ?
09:22.10Leedswhat?
09:22.27sabinef72you said : Camille on the radio
09:22.33Leedsshe's obviously made it onto their playlist
09:22.49sabinef72so I ask if the radio only knows her
09:23.06sabinef72you already heard french music on radio and it was already Camille
09:27.37Leedsyes, I think she's probably the only French artist - or artist performing in French - on the playlist... but that station is proud of not sticking to its playlist anyway - it's the second song I've heard on the radio today in French

09:37.14dpardoBut aren't you in China? Will you come?
09:37.40Leedswell, I'll be in London next month, but if I'm still in London by the end of October, my plans will have failed pretty completely
09:37.51Leedsit's not quite either - I'm in Hong Kong
09:38.08Leedssort of China, sort of not
09:38.29*** join/#gllug George (i=authdeni@vm.gwright.org.uk)
09:38.41danipAre you coming on vacation or something?
09:38.56Leedsuh... well, as of 26/8 I have no job and no home here
09:39.12danipOops..
09:39.32danipSo you plan to find another (job && home) from the UK?
09:39.46Leedsso my plan at the moment is to head back to the UK - bought a flight last week, slightly worried that the charge hasn't showed on my card, and it's not showing on my account at Virgin's site
09:39.59Leedsstay in the UK until the first week of October... then come back out here
09:40.37LeedsI haven't done much real job-hunting, but I have done some networking... meeting up with a bloke I know tonight, planning to discuss possible work
09:40.40danip:) So you really enjoy china don't you? Isn't it too overcrowded?
09:40.56LeedsI enjoy Hong Kong - I've never been to China, although I do have a visa...
09:41.19Leedshttp://www.wanderingjew.co.uk/Hong_Kong/urban_wasteland.html
09:41.36danipI guess if you're english, then that's a bonus for getting a job in there.
09:41.54Leedsthat's my thoughts on the overcrowding... in short - yes, some areas are overcrowded, but that's largely because about 2/3 of the land is undeveloped
09:43.34danipI already find London overcrowded.. I better don't go to HongKong :)
09:44.42Leedshonestly, I sort of find my area here to have a lot more of a community feel than I did in London
09:45.43*** join/#gllug asht_007 (n=asht_007@host-212-158-220-82.bulldogdsl.com)
09:46.14danipYep, London and other cities are quite awful in this sense..
09:47.14Leedsone of the really nice things about Hong Kong is that it's actually a small town
09:47.37danipyou mean in size?
09:47.40CopeI am enjoying being in the countyside now
09:47.46Leedsyou bump into people you know... you can walk a lot of places... you get known in the shops
09:48.02LeedsCope: but you have to admit that it's not the most convenient thing, work-wise
09:49.59Copewell, i had no problem finding a job outside london
09:50.13danipMmm.. work-wise vs life-wise... nice question. IMHO, a high % of people in london are more work-wise. Acutally, feels their life are work-driven
09:50.30Copebut maybe i was lucky
09:50.48Leedsdanip: that's the case for people here too - but it's also a really fun place to live
09:52.01danipAnd wich are your long-term plans leeds? :D
09:52.14Leedsat a very simple level - big party on Saturday night, which we started by jumping on a ferry across the harbour, then went to a hugely-expensive bar with a great harbour view
09:52.24Leedslong-term?  I'm moving to Israel
09:52.49danipReally!!??
09:52.52Leedsyes
09:53.01SlayerXPi'd avoid any country that has religion as it's chief export
09:53.18danipMan, that's not either work-friendly nor life-fliendly no?
09:53.34Leedsdanip: both - lots of tech work there, and lots of nice single Jewish girls
09:53.57daniplots of bullents hanging around too..
09:54.07Leedsa few
09:54.27Leedsthings are obviously particularly bad at the moment... but it's been much better for most of the past decade
09:55.50danipMm.. I'm just staying in London for a year, then back to Spain again. But If I had to go somewhere else, I'd go to Northern Europe.
09:56.07Leedslike... Norway?
09:56.33danipHad been in Norway 3 years ago, 15 days on August.. was nice. Peaceful.
09:56.58SlayerXPhaving just come back from living in norway for a year, I advise against it
09:57.00danipBut I guess winter is too hard there. At least for an Spaniard like me :)
09:57.12SlayerXPnah, it only got down to -27 at my place.
09:57.20danipSlayerXP: Are you Martin?
09:57.24SlayerXPyes
09:57.33Leedsare you Martian?
09:57.34SlayerXPwell, I'm _a_ Martin, there's loads of us about
09:57.49danip:) We xchanged a few mails about London, remember?
09:58.04SlayerXPoh yes
09:58.09SlayerXPyou made it, then?
09:58.18danipYep! here I am.
09:58.48SlayerXPmy advise was at least partially correct, then :)
09:59.02SlayerXPadvice
09:59.15danipYep, was quite valuable.
10:00.10danipThings haven't been quite good actually. I read that you were back from Norway. How went the appliance mail project?
10:00.54SlayerXPthe mail appliance went okay
10:01.16SlayerXPthe spam/virus hosted filtering is going even better
10:01.32SlayerXPfound it.  you mailed me on feb 1st this year.
10:01.52morsingCheck it!
10:02.29SlayerXPi like keeping mail
10:02.37SlayerXPit's nice to trip people up
10:02.44danip:) I think we came here on 1st of April.
10:02.53SlayerXP"Yes, but on march 27th 2001 you said....   therefore that makes you a big fat liar"
10:03.55danipI remember emailing you not much before coming to London. Thats correct no?
10:04.17SlayerXPwell, you mailed me Feb 1st
10:04.37danipAnd on March too?
10:05.59SlayerXPi just have two messages from you
10:06.14SlayerXPit's possible I'm missing some
10:06.29danipWich date? I remember one was asking for flat things..
10:06.40danipWe also talked about some mail hosting thing for you.
10:07.05SlayerXPboth messages on the 1st
10:07.15SlayerXPdanip: that turned in to http://www.antibodymx.net/
10:07.35danip1st of Feb? What did I say?
10:08.02danipYep, I remember visiting that URL.

10:11.35SlayerXPdanip: exactly.
10:11.37LeedsSlayerXP: legal, language or exclusive reasons?
10:11.59SlayerXPLeeds: on average, norwegians are racist.

10:12.45SlayerXPyep
10:13.30danipDidn't you think about moving a little in the south? Stockholm or something like that?
10:15.21SlayerXPyes
10:15.35SlayerXPi went to two interviews in Oslo.  had I got the job we would have moved down there
10:16.44danipOlso is also very small. I thout it was going to be bigger. I Only spent there 2 days.

14:20.39z00daxok, so on a freebsd machine - where might i find the apache config's ?
14:20.58z00daxto start with - how would i find out if apache is even installed ?
14:23.24danipfind / -name httpd?
14:23.29SlayerXPtelnet localhost 80
14:23.42SlayerXPany then the config file could be literally anywhere :)
14:24.01z00daxSlayerXP: its not running, nothing on :80

14:24.06z00daxnice
14:24.25danipfind / -name httpd.conf? :)
14:25.06z00daxare you sure thats what its called on FreeBSD ?
14:25.13SlayerXPz00dax: the best thing to do is probably insert a debian install cd and reboot.  follow the on-screen prompts and then "apt-get install apache2"
14:25.23danip:))
14:25.34z00daxwhy would i want to make things worse ?
14:25.53z00daxmight CentOS'ify it - but need a *nod* from elsewhere for that to happen
14:26.43danipwhy are you using freebsd, z00dax?
14:27.17z00daxdanip: I am not, its using me at this time  :)

14:36.07Copewhat's the nifty trick for tarring a dir with 10000000000000000000s of files in it? like having to use xargs or some such?

14:37.42Copeor something like that

23:28.44Jasperwhi, does anyone remember there being some law about how computers must be sold with an operating system?
23:29.03GeorgeJasperw: no
23:29.15GeorgeJasperw: iirc MS's OEM licence requires it
23:29.17Georgeor something
23:30.34wethrinbut there's no law about it
23:31.14GeorgeI think MS say that they're not allowed to sell a computer without an OS
23:31.15Georgeso
23:31.16Georgeblah
23:31.53wethrinThe vendors lose their bulk licencing deals if they don't sell MS software
23:32.03wethrinBut that's quite different from it being legal
23:45.52Jasperwi thought under microsoft new 11 (?) rules that they publish a flat volume licence price list, so that they can't do that any more.
23:46.32Jasperwthe whole "Sell linux and we stop the volume license discount" thing was one of the reasons the EU slaped MS - it's how MS killed BeOS...
23:47.16Georgewethrin: PHOTOS
23:47.34JasperwI think the only thing left is the "... recommends Microsoft Windows XP" you see scattered everywhere - microsoft gives you cash if you advertise them
23:48.01Jasperwbut i don't think it's legal for them to stop you and "and linux" on the end.
23:50.17LeedsJasperw: how many boxen?
23:51.55JasperwI'm trying to get a laptop with:

23:52.09JasperwATI graphics
23:52.15Jasperwpreferably fairly small

23:52.25Jasperwwithout windows
23:52.49JasperwIt looks like i can get a barebones laptop from saveastore/watford elec. but they are a bit dodgey
23:53.19Jasperwi can get a system from novatech, but just a normal turion, not an x2 (i want an x2 cos of the virtulisation stuff).
23:55.26Leedsone laptop?

23:55.47Jasperwi like orange :P
23:57.26Leedsa) there are still not many turion x2 laptops out there
23:58.10Leedsb) if you want a single machine, no retailer is going to give a fsck what you want - if you're buying 100, or maybe even 10, they'll talk to you, otherwise they'll just sell you what they want to sell you
23:58.26Jasperwsure, but i can have fun trying :)
