| 08:51.48 | eyore | uses a variable from /etc/updatedb.conf |
| 08:51.59 | eyore | might just be the fedora server install or something |
| 08:52.56 | z00dax | you can enable it or disabl it from /etc/updatedb.conf, yes |

| 09:58.32 | eyore | lol |
| 09:59.08 | eyore | ah I have another idea, I only need this for a database query it may be easier to subtract an hour using the db function |
| 09:59.29 | Erwin | date --date '1 hour ago' +... |
| 09:59.31 | morsing | I need advice on flying to the states... |
| 09:59.49 | eyore | genius! |
| 09:59.54 | eyore | how did i miss that on the man page |
| 09:59.56 | cbz | Don't |
| 10:00.04 | rhowe | morsing: Use a plain |
| 10:00.07 | rhowe | er, plane |
| 10:00.35 | Erwin | Well, there shouldn't be anything special about it, I just got back from the third trip this year. |
| 10:01.05 | Erwin | Machine readable passport is all you need, then with visa waiver programme you can stay there for 3 months doing business (not working) or tourism |
| 10:03.07 | morsing | cbz: I do agree, however, I have promised a friend to come visit... |
| 10:03.26 | morsing | Erwin: I need a passport I assume. Visa? Anything else? |
| 10:04.05 | Erwin | morsing: Machine readable password (i.e. with digits/barcode-like thingy). No visa if you are a EU citizen and stay 3 months or less on tourism/business. |
| 10:04.19 | Erwin | Your passport may have to be valid for at least 6 months or such. |
| 10:04.46 | Erwin | http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/visa/niv/vwp.html |
| 10:08.03 | morsing | Thanks |
| 10:08.23 | morsing | Also, what are the UK airports like at the moment for handluggage etc. |
| 10:08.38 | morsing | Am I allowed to bring a book and stuff? |

| 10:09.04 | rhowe | morsing: Please :) |
| 10:09.54 | rhowe | morsing: I think it partly depends on the airline, but so long as you stay away from spiky metal things and liquids they'll probably be fine |
| 10:10.48 | wethrin | morsing: They should be okay now |
| 10:13.46 | morsing | Cool |
| 10:13.57 | morsing | 16 hours without anything is depressing |

| 10:22.07 | morsing | Take-off fare |
| 10:22.13 | wethrin | And you have to go via Amsterdam? |
| 10:22.22 | wethrin | "take-off"? |
| 10:22.23 | Erwin | 170 UKP return. Huh. I pay 500-1200 to Fresno via LAX or SFO. |
| 10:22.44 | morsing | wethrin: Take-off is non-refundable, well, non-everything really! |
| 10:22.50 | wethrin | ahhh |
| 10:22.51 | wethrin | gotcha |
| 10:22.55 | wethrin | But, still, fucking cheap |
| 10:23.21 | morsing | Erwin: Well, is tooth paste liquid? |
| 10:23.26 | Erwin | What site did you find the fare via, and how far in advance? |
| 10:23.38 | Erwin | morsing: Yes. Even gel shoe insoles are liquid. You can just check those in. |

| 10:28.33 | morsing | Ahh... |
| 10:29.43 | morsing | My first holiday in 5 years :) |
| 10:31.11 | Erwin | Better check your passport for machine readability then, if it's really old it may not have that series of digits/barcode |
| 10:35.43 | morsing | Erwin: Hmm... Had it made in 2001 or 2002 I think |
