| 02:25.53 | Leeds | sure |
| 02:26.45 | zimm2 | plus, as far as i was aware.. i pissed quite a few gllugers off.. hell, maybe that why you remember me .. lol |
| 02:26.50 | zimm2 | hows things anyway ? |
| 02:27.14 | Leeds | don't remember that... |
| 02:27.44 | Leeds | well, I'll be back in London for the day on Sunday, then off to Spain for 5 days or so, then back to London for a couple of weeks, Leeds for a couple of weeks, London for a couple of days, then back to Hong Kong |

| 02:29.27 | zimm2 | this bad news ? or are you looking forward to a break ? |
| 02:29.43 | Leeds | but since I'd prefer to be unemployed and homeless in Hong Kong than unemployed and homed in London, I'm coming back :-) |
| 02:30.00 | Leeds | well, the job wasn't really working... there are all sorts of things which I didn't like about it |

| 06:44.48 | sabinef72 | morning all |
| 06:55.29 | Leeds | bonjour |
| 06:56.19 | sabinef72 | coucou Leeds ! ca va ? |
| 06:57.12 | Leeds | tired, stressed, doing my world-famous headless-chicken impression |
| 06:57.58 | Leeds | you? |
| 07:00.43 | sabinef72 | stressed ? why ? |
| 07:01.24 | Leeds | because on Saturday I'm moving out of the flat I've lived in for over a year |
| 07:01.28 | sabinef72 | headless-chicken.... is it an english speciality ? |
| 07:01.40 | Leeds | heh, yes :-) |
| 07:01.46 | Leeds | do you know what it means? |
| 07:02.16 | sabinef72 | not really |
| 07:02.29 | sabinef72 | I think something special on your face |
| 07:02.41 | Leeds | uh, no... |
| 07:02.48 | sabinef72 | perhaps like Mr Bean |
| 07:02.50 | sabinef72 | ohhhhh |
| 07:02.52 | sabinef72 | so tell me |
| 07:02.59 | Leeds | ever seen a chicken being killed? can you imagine a chicken being killed? |
| 07:03.10 | sabinef72 | beurkkkkkkkkk |
| 07:03.14 | sabinef72 | that's awful |
| 07:03.24 | Leeds | if you cut off their head, the rest of their body takes a while to notice - so they run around like mad, with no brain, eyes, etc. |
| 07:04.13 | Leeds | anyway, so the phrase 'running around like a headless chicken' means being running around, being busy, etc. without having any visible plan or intention |
| 07:04.32 | sabinef72 | ahhhhhhh |
| 07:05.04 | Leeds | so if you were trying to pack, while also going out in the evening, and not noticably getting anywhere in the packing, you'd be doing a headless chicken impression :-) |
| 07:05.34 | sabinef72 | ok I see |
| 07:07.32 | sabinef72 | so take a paper, write on it everything you have to do ..... and do them ! |
| 07:08.55 | Leeds | far too organised - chickens don't make lists! |
| 07:09.08 | sabinef72 | stupid chickens |
| 07:09.29 | sabinef72 | will you come back in HK after London ? |
| 07:09.49 | Leeds | yes |
| 07:10.06 | Leeds | also, I'm going to Spain on Sunday :-) |
| 07:10.53 | sabinef72 | hu hu |
| 07:11.02 | sabinef72 | Leeds: don't forget my postcard from HK !!!!!!!! |
| 07:11.15 | sabinef72 | will you go in Malaga ? |
| 07:11.17 | morsing | 'morning |
| 07:11.19 | morsing | sabinef72! |
| 07:11.34 | Leeds | I'll put it on my list! :-) |
| 07:11.35 | sabinef72 | how is my favorite "Dane" today ?????????? |
| 07:11.43 | Leeds | I'm flying into Malaga, but going to Estepona |
| 07:11.46 | sabinef72 | Leeds: remember, you promised me ! |
| 07:12.16 | sabinef72 | will you make HK -> Malaga ? |
| 07:12.45 | Leeds | no - going to be in London for the day - arriving at 0530, leaving at 2150 |
| 07:14.45 | sabinef72 | it's funny. You will fly towards me, and during this time, I'll fly towards you in HK but in the opposite |
| 07:15.14 | Leeds | huh? |
| 07:17.13 | sabinef72 | how to explain |
| 07:17.25 | sabinef72 | sunday you will take a fly : Hong Kong to London |
| 07:17.38 | sabinef72 | so it's like you are flying towards me (in Paris) |
| 07:17.51 | sabinef72 | and in the same time, I'll fly but not in the same way |
| 07:18.09 | sabinef72 | it's like I'm going in HK but in the opposite way |
| 07:18.14 | sabinef72 | do you understand ? |
| 07:18.27 | Leeds | but you're not going anywhere near HK, are you? |
| 07:19.45 | sabinef72 | no I'll go in Argentina |
| 07:20.14 | sabinef72 | Paris - Madrid - Santiago of Chili - Cordoba in Argentina |

| 14:35.52 | phearless | locate .gsm|grep /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/|xargs scp alex@alex-desktop:/home/alex/temp |
| 14:36.04 | phearless | I want to scp a bunch of files |
| 14:36.23 | keithlard | rsync would probably be easier |
| 14:36.24 | phearless | xargs put the name of the file at the end of "scp alex@alex-desktop:/home/alex/temp" |
| 14:36.40 | phearless | it is a xargs issue, not scp issue |
| 14:36.55 | phearless | it is not the first time that I want to use xargs differently |
| 14:37.21 | keithlard | so you're saying 'if i am determined to do this the wrong way, how would i get it to work?' :D |
| 14:37.26 | phearless | exactly ! |
| 14:37.32 | keithlard | i thought that's what you were saying |
| 14:37.39 | phearless | you are right |
| 14:38.36 | morsing | ~seen Cope |
| 14:38.51 | ibot | cope <n=3ebd3982@mozrat01.vm.bytemark.co.uk> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 2d 23h 36m 43s ago, saying: 'whaat? :('. |
| 14:39.07 | keithlard | presumably you don't want to use find to fork a million different scp processes |
| 14:39.25 | morsing | keithlard: Sounds like fun |
| 14:40.40 | boudiccas | i'm having problems with yum update. I was running it in eshell in emacs, and it was running slowly and I thought that it had frozen and died, so i closed emacs. it now appears that it was partway through doing the update which is not now completed. how can i finish doing the update please? |
| 14:40.48 | keithlard | i think you want xargs -i |
| 14:41.02 | keithlard | and then you can put {} in the command line and xargs will replace it with the relevant filenames, like find |
| 14:41.05 | phearless | I just want to use : $ALISTOFSTUFF | xargs scp ??? remotehost |
| 14:41.19 | phearless | ok keithlard |
| 14:41.23 | keithlard | $ALISTOFSTUFF |xargs -i scp {} remotehost |
| 14:42.01 | phearless | big thanks ! |
| 14:42.07 | phearless | it works |
| 14:42.26 | phearless | i just need to export the ssh keys to avoid to write my password 5642348 times |
| 14:44.19 | keithlard | to paraphrase jwz, when people have a problem communicating between machines, they think 'I know! I'll use ssh!'. Now they have two problems. |
| 14:46.11 | iTron | There is always sshfs ;) And with that, time for a smoke. |

| 16:19.45 | Blapto|Work | Have you been reading Pratchett? |
| 16:19.50 | Leeds | yes |
| 16:19.51 | Blapto|Work | With possibly fewer ts |
| 16:19.57 | Blapto|Work | I've not actaully |
| 16:20.05 | Leeds | Masquerade, at the moment |
| 16:20.11 | Blapto|Work | I'm reading The Truth |
| 16:20.28 | Blapto|Work | I've never read any of his stuff before, so my friend gave me a few books. |
| 16:20.31 | Leeds | or possibly Maskerade, which is the pun in the title |
| 16:20.39 | George | sausages |
| 16:21.24 | Leeds | when I say 'at the moment' I mean I was last reading it about 10 minutes ago, on the way home up the escalator :-) |
| 16:21.27 | Blapto|Work | I like it, especially the myriad of Pulp Fiction references, which my Pratchet loving friends (the most irritating couple in the world, they are either making out or laughing at Pratchet quotes to themselves but not quite getting the joke) had never realised. Apparently they're not obvious. |
| 16:22.08 | George | http://youtube.com/watch?v=JP0zhF6dLvE |
| 16:22.12 | Blapto|Work | Has anybody here ever dealt with Prodec networks? |
| 16:22.40 | iTron | In the last few months I have been reading 27 of the Discworld novels on the way to and from work. It passed the time. |
| 16:22.42 | Leeds | Blapto|Work: do you know the APF? |
| 16:23.27 | Blapto|Work | Yes, I used it as proof that the references really were obvious |
| 16:23.40 | Leeds | I have them all on my Treo... I also have them all in either hardback or paperback |
| 16:23.55 | Blapto|Work | The defining moment was when I showed them a quote from Pratchet saying "it's obvious" at which point they both said "Oh. It's obvious!" |
| 16:24.07 | Leeds | heh |
| 16:24.10 | iTron | Leeds: All nicely stored on an SD card situated in my iPaq. |
| 16:24.12 | Blapto|Work | As another friend put it, far too many people read Pratchet because it's fashionable and don't actually get the jokes. |
| 16:24.30 | Leeds | iTron: yeah, pretty much |
| 16:24.50 | Blapto|Work | iTron, how pleasurable is it reading on the iPaq screen compared to dead trees? |
| 16:25.30 | iTron | Blapto|Work: FOr me it makes no difference. It is, in fact, an order of magnitude more convenient than carrying around dead tree. |
| 16:26.17 | Leeds | Blapto|Work: I'm currently probably reading more from my Treo than I am from dead trees - far more convenient, as iTron says, but for a new book, rather than a rereading, it might be easier to read on paper |
| 16:27.03 | *** join/#gllug keithlard (n=john@host217-34-140-129.in-addr.btopenworld.com) |
| 16:27.03 | Leeds | but the fact that I have it with me all the time, and I have a decent library to suit my mood, makes it rather nice |
| 16:27.03 | iTron | Leeds: Indeed. |
| 16:27.19 | Leeds | keithlard: ISTR wanting to say something to you regarding your most recent blogging... |
| 16:27.27 | Leeds | also, good morning |
| 16:27.45 | iTron | On the same SD card I have the entire British road system, for use when I place the iPaq in it's holder in my car and plug the CF card GPS unit in and fire up TomTom navigator - though that use of my iPaq will become redundant after I move to Japan. |
| 16:28.23 | iTron | s/it's/its ... damnit. |
| 16:29.43 | Leeds | I've failed to find an English-language map of HK for PalmOS |
| 16:30.02 | iTron | Leeds: And I have no chance of finding the same but for Japan. |
| 16:30.29 | iTron | Leeds: I'm going to have to put up with a Japanese navigation system. |
| 16:30.56 | Leeds | I can't read Chinese |
| 16:30.57 | iTron | Either that, or TomTom seriously needs to produce maps for Japan. |
| 16:31.20 | Leeds | you can get English-language maps for wince for HK, but I don't do wince |
| 16:32.36 | George | "To whom it may concern: I, Bender, bid you hello! You don't know me, though you may have heard of me, but that's not the point. Long story short... I need helf" |
| 16:32.48 | iTron | Leeds: I wouldn't use anything other than wince for a pocket pc. I tried using the linux handheld distribution - familiar - then I discovered wince was far more useful to me. |
| 16:33.36 | Leeds | I used familiar in one way or another for years - in fact, I was already running Linux on my iPaq before familar was even announced |
| 16:34.26 | Leeds | I would prefer to not use a PDA than use wince - but I'm still pretty happy with PalmOS, which is what I was using before linux/ipaq |
| 16:34.52 | Leeds | you obviously weren't at my epic off-the-cuff talk at UCL about iPaq linux :-) |
| 16:35.37 | iTron | Leeds: Probably not ;) |
| 16:36.35 | iTron | Leeds: BUt linux on an ipaq is as much use (to me) as a choclate watch. |
| 16:36.59 | iTron | Gah. Why must my typing suck so much? |
| 16:37.26 | Leeds | hmm... UK population hit 60 million last year - I thought it was already over that, but anyway - meaning a population density of about 240 people per km^2... Hong Kong is at 7 million people, making about 6400 / km^2 |
| 16:37.56 | Leeds | iTron: well, people are shipping commercial devices running qtopia, which is effectively opie |
| 16:38.07 | iTron | Leeds: *nod* |
| 16:38.18 | Blapto|Work | Leeds, those figures are misleading. For example, China has basically nobody living in vast deserts and mountain ranges. |
| 16:38.46 | Blapto|Work | But then again, there aren't many places in Hong Kong where people don't live I suppose |
| 16:38.52 | iTron | Leeds: As far as I know, there is no vaersion of TomTom or other nav software which runs on linux on a PDA. |
| 16:39.02 | Leeds | Blapto|Work: the figures are extremely misleading for Hong Kong - only about 1/3 of the land is developed - the rest is legally protected wild/park land |
| 16:39.16 | Leeds | it's very very very dense in town |
| 16:39.30 | Blapto|Work | Ah, right. I'll have to actually go there sometime I think |
| 16:40.39 | Leeds | the strange thing - certainly in my part of town - is that it still has a 'town' feel, rather than big city - you may be walking past 40-storey residential blocks, but at street-level there are people walking around, small local shops, etc. |
| 16:40.59 | Blapto|Work | It was the same in mainland China when I went a few years ago. |
| 16:41.21 | Blapto|Work | Not quite in Beijing, but certainly in Shen Yang or however that should be spelt. |

| 16:48.05 | Blapto|Work | You're right, he's not |
| 16:48.37 | Blapto|Work | Schrodinger is stopped for speeding. Policer officer: Excuse me sir, do you know how fast you were going? Schrodinger: No. But I know where I am. |
| 16:49.02 | Leeds | surely that's Heisenberg (sp?) |
| 16:49.32 | Blapto|Work | uncertainty principle... Yes, you're right. But I'm sure Schrodinger would have had a similar answer ;) |
| 16:49.42 | Leeds | anyway, I assume you've never read the Schrödinger's Cat trilogy? |
| 16:49.49 | Blapto|Work | I haven't |
