00:05.49deep-blueI did a shoot there for my photography a-level

00:32.17wethrinHm. Unlimited 8MB for £28/month
00:32.34secretlondonit was bt that cut me off anyway
00:32.46secretlondonmy isp were the people who told me, actually
00:32.58antiphaseI've got unlimited 17Mb for £0.00. I do work for an ISP though MU HA HA HA

01:38.59secretlondonso this is the second 1.39am today?
01:39.03catalystyes
01:39.07deep-blueyer
01:39.11secretlondonah - i wonder where that hour went..
01:39.14catalystand log files all over the world are going to get very confusing
01:39.35secretlondonlag and synpatic ate my evening
01:39.49catalystwhereby I try and analyse existence too much and end up knawing my leg off in response
01:41.08deep-bluebut surely
01:41.12deep-blueyou can only do that twice?
01:41.22catalystI've never actually knawed my leg off
01:41.25catalystit's more a figurative thing
01:41.32deep-blue:p
01:42.04secretlondonyes you must be right - syslog agrees with you ;)
01:43.00secretlondondoes anyone know of a decent 3d package that isn't super scary like blender?
01:43.12catalystC
01:43.12secretlondonI know if wings3d but it doens't do what I want alas
01:43.27catalystjust program the vertices yourself
01:43.30catalyst:<
01:43.50catalystblender's probably easier to understand if you consider that its interface was designed for tablet users
01:44.08secretlondoni want "render to texture" for gaming skins
01:44.15catalystbut I doubt you'll find a 3D package for a reasonable price with a reasonable feature set aside from blender
01:45.02secretlondoni know maya and 3d studio max do it ;)
01:45.02secretlondonwe need a free version of poser
01:45.02secretlondonwith added shiny

02:17.20secretlondonmuch better connection now :(
02:18.01catalystthat doesn't say much for Edgy then :(
02:18.14catalyst(assuming that's what you switched back from)
02:19.02secretlondonwell it's because the zd1211 driver was changed - a new one is included in the kernel
02:19.18secretlondonbut the zd1211rw isn't as good with weak signals I think
02:19.28catalystah right
02:19.33catalystwireless then?
02:19.35secretlondonbut it generally a bit weird
02:19.50secretlondoni'm using a friends wireless until i get my adsl back

02:45.39Leedsokay, definitely not the best gym session I;ve ever had
02:47.08catalysthowcome?
02:51.27Leedsbecause it was at 8:30 on a Sunday morning after about 3 hours sleep, with a hurriedly-eaten tuna sandwich in my stomach, which was otherwise feeling a little fragile, and having slept from about 8am to 1pm on Saturday
02:52.20Leedsbut apart from that... :-)
02:54.12LeedsI normally go around mid-day, and having had at least something vaguely like a proper night's sleep
03:01.27catalystah!
04:01.19secretlondoni'm munching on bread - we have a turkish 24hr shop here that sells bread called pide (same root as pitta) for 60p - they are massive things the size of a shelf of my fridge..
04:01.54secretlondonbut about 10cm thick - not pitta like at all
04:07.40catalysttasty
04:08.04catalystwe have no 24 hour shop round here that sells anything :(
04:08.39secretlondonbah - I live off a major road so we have a couple, a 24 hr bagel place, and lots of late night kebab places
04:10.32catalystcan I move in next door?
04:11.27secretlondonyou can replace the mad bloke downstairs if you want..
04:12.06LeedsI've got a 7-11 on the street, a 24-hour McDonalds on the other end of the block, and a couple of 24-hour Chinese diner-type places within a few minutes walk
04:14.11secretlondonleeds: wheres this?
04:14.28LeedsNorth Point
04:14.50secretlondoni don't know it - not London I guess
04:15.18Leedsnot exactly, no
04:15.29Leedstry a few thousand miles east
04:15.31Leedsquite a few...
04:15.42secretlondonooh
04:15.47secretlondonsingapore?
04:15.55Leedsfurther - but close ;-)
04:16.05catalystHong Kong :)
04:16.11Leedsimpressively close for a first guess
04:16.12secretlondonah cool
04:16.24catalystSouthampton: Lacking in Cool(tm)
04:16.35secretlondonWalworth - it can get cold
04:17.43catalystbut you have shops
04:17.47LeedsHong Kong: not a colony any more - we're a Special Administrative Region now!
04:17.51catalystI get to rely on my freezer
04:18.11catalystLeeds: just a plural off a viral disease :)
04:18.51Leedsindeed
04:19.13catalystmy friends need to let me be more spontaneous
04:19.28catalystone of them said that she doesn't want me coming round at 4am because it'll wake up her housemates
04:19.30catalystpfft
04:19.41catalystI suspect she's also a little scared of me
04:19.42Leedsheh
04:21.07catalystI live in hope
04:21.37LeedsI live in China
04:21.59secretlondonI live in a tip
04:21.59catalystcongrats
04:23.03Leedssecretlondon: what's so secret about London, anyway?
04:23.53secretlondonLeeds: nothing really. There are/were secret bits - and I lack imagination name wise
04:24.02secretlondonLeeds:why leeds?
04:24.37Leedsmy home town
04:24.46catalystthat is a question I imagine a lot of UK citizens ask themselves all the time
04:25.09secretlondonLeeds is posh, Bradford is a total shit hole
04:25.23Leedsyup
04:25.35catalysthad a very nice curry in bradford, actually
04:26.05Leedssecretlondon: I'm just reading Bill Bryson's "Notes From A Small Country" and he's pretty scathing about Bradford, apart from the curry, the Alhambra and the museum
04:26.28secretlondonit's dreadful
04:26.36secretlondonthe locals are the real problem
04:26.53secretlondoni left aged 19 and have no intention of going back
04:27.14secretlondonit's like daily mail land with added bnp recruitment areas
04:27.45Leedsheh
04:27.53catalystnasty
04:30.01LeedsI got out of Leeds when I was 18, anyway
04:30.29secretlondoni was just 19 when I started uni
04:43.20catalystmm, cheese on toast
05:36.55Leedsso was I
06:00.50Leedsbut I spent a year in Israel between my 18th and 19th birthdays

07:29.38serrishi Gunde
07:33.26GundeGood morning (:
07:36.27morsing'morning Gunde
07:38.47serrisLovely that the clocks got set back
07:38.56serrisI finished work at 7AM instead of 8
07:41.11Gundeyou work in night shift?
07:41.42serrisyep
07:42.44Gundejust every now and then, or always?
07:42.48serrisalways
07:43.21GundeDoing what?
07:43.26serrisAt a supermarket
07:43.54GundeThat is then one of those 24/7 places?
07:45.07serrisnope
07:45.12serrisbut we gotta replanish the place by 8AM
07:45.18Gundeah ok
07:45.27serrisTonight was fun. Pulled my shoulder
07:45.39GundeIf you call that fun...
07:45.56serrisWell not really bu there isn't really anything I can do aobut it so might as well try to look at it on the bright side
07:46.03GundeAt what time do you usually start working?
07:46.06serris10PM
07:46.10serrisso 10 hour shift
07:46.11GundeAnd what is the bright side about it?
07:46.31serrisPretty much
07:46.39serrisProbably the funny side is how I pulled it
07:46.43Gunde(except that you might go on sick leave now)
07:46.45serrisI was throwing wine bottles around
07:47.01serrisSick leave? With a pulled shoulder? lol I wish
07:47.24serrisUnless you stepped on a land mine and both your legs are missing you don't really get sick leave
07:48.01GundeBut if you go on sick leave your salary still gets paid to you for some time here in GB, or not?
07:48.38serrisNope
07:48.44serrisunless you're off longer than 3 days
07:48.55serrisIn which case you have to give a doctors certificate
07:49.06serrisand even with that they can decide not to pay you if they feel it wasn't a worthy cause to miss work
07:49.17serrisSo you're better off working sick than not getting payed at all for 2 weeks
07:49.18Gundeif you are off for less than 3 days your monthly pay gets shortened?
07:49.31serrisyep
07:49.36serrisAnd you get a warning
07:50.06Gundehmm, must be a university deal then to be different, because I got my normal salary after illness.
07:50.12Gunde... and no warning.
07:50.21serrisIn a year I've been off twice. Each time for one day. Once cause my teeth root infections came back. The other time I was throwing up for 48 hours
07:50.55Gundemorsing: What is the system like in Denmark?
07:51.24GundeWhat happens if you get ill during your holidays, is that just bad luck for you?
07:51.53serrisIf you get ill during holiday and you can prove that you were at my place, they will rearrange your holidays so you don't lose them
07:52.36Gundebut that is not a legal requirement then?
07:53.00serrishmm?
07:53.39GundeI must say in that respect I like German laws. If you get sick during holidays the days you lose get "refunded".
07:53.55serristhat's what I said happens
07:54.02serrisThey give you back those days and you don't lose them.
07:54.47Gundeyes, you said it is like that at your place, and I wanted to know whether it is, because you work in a nice place, or because it is a general regulation.
07:56.31serrisI don't know
07:56.34serrisI think it's general
07:58.06Gundeok
07:58.13serrisAnd this isn't a nice place : )
07:58.38GundeSo what are you going to do with that extra hour?
07:59.43serrisWatch trailers on apple.com unless someone replies to my thread on linuxquestions.org while trying to guide my 12 year old through installing VMWare Server on Edubuntu
08:00.43serrisDamn my shoulder hurts.
08:02.01GundeMaybe take a hot bath.
08:03.10serrisI'll fall asleep there
08:03.12serris: (
08:03.42serrisMy mate did his shoulder in too. His' been knackered for a week now
08:04.10GundeAsk your son to wake you up after half an hour.
08:04.32serrislol that'd work if he wouldn't forget
08:05.36GundeHmm, there are funny little devices used for tea making. Look like a little penguin with a timer, and after x minutes the beak goes up, and the teabag attached moves out of the mug.
08:05.45GundeYou need something like that for the plug.
08:06.02serrisYeah although in the UK they don't put plugs in the bathrooms =/
08:06.29Gundehttp://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00008WV6K.03._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1060260907_.jpg
08:07.12serrisyeah
08:07.17GundeHow do you prevent the water from leaving the tub if you dont have a plug?
08:07.25serrisoh right that plug
08:08.13GundeAh, you meant other plugs (:
08:08.17serrisyep
08:08.34GundeI take it that is due to health and safety regulations?
08:08.50serrisProbably
08:09.06serrisJust like how in my parents' house there is meant to be some safety wall when you come in
08:09.26GundeA great disappointment for me was to discover you dont place live candles on your christmas trees.
08:09.31serrisbut it was ugly/annoying so we knocked it right down after the council's regulator left
08:10.01serrisI don't place burning candels anywhere. My wife puts the smelly ones around the place every so often but I'm not too peachy about it
08:11.19GundeI just looked up "peachy" in the dictionary, but the translation doesn't make sense.
08:11.31serrishappy, good mood, things like that
08:11.36GundeWould you mind thinking about rephrasing?
08:11.39Gundeok
08:11.42Gundeweird
08:12.07serrisyep
08:12.07Gundethe dictionary offers "like a peach" and "fancy"
08:12.13serris: )

09:03.28serrisHow was the 2nd day?
09:03.32serrisYep indeed
09:04.16boudiccastime for table tennis :)
09:04.16trousersI just need to get a decent WiFi card - the only thing this shitty USB one can do is scan for networks, so I guess it might be okay if I learn a bit of Perl and sync it up with my watch and go for a bit of warcycling :D
09:04.39serrishaha
09:04.41serris: )
09:05.07trousersBut a guy I know is giving me an Orinoco based PCMCIA WiFi card free \o/
09:05.20serrisMe and me mate went war driving from Whitton to Heathrow and back around Hounslow at 2AM. Found I think 300 wifi spots and out of that only about 30 were encrypted and secured
09:05.47serrisOrinoco are great
09:05.49serrisI had one of those
09:06.04trousersMarvellous, my USB Netgear MA111 is iffy
09:06.19trousersI had to ndiswrapper -i the Windows .inf etc.
09:06.50serrisI don't have wifi at the moment. i didn't really like it. But someone has in my area. 10Mbit blueyonder cable without encryption
09:07.01trousersWait, where do you live?
09:07.05serrisHounslow
09:07.33trousersAh, okay, it's just that I leave mine unsecure most of the time as most of the people around here are technically incompetent
09:07.35serrisI used to have 10Mbit BlueYonder when I lived in Isleworth
09:08.00serrisIn Isleworth most people in my street were over 70
09:08.13trousersI still do allegedly, but I think they bumped it down a bit :(
09:08.16morsingMoo
09:08.17serrisThere were a few families around so just in a 30 yard stretch there were 3 other wifi networks
09:08.45trousersDue to constantly running a (legal legal legal ;)) bittorrent client
09:09.12trousersAhar! My GCSE revision method > all others :P
09:09.19serrisWell if they're anything like most DSL companies, they'll say "Up to xMbit" meaning you might be getting 512Kbit but potentially you have the capabilities receiving 8Mbit

21:15.23morsingI just missed you. Didn't know where you'd gone... :)
21:15.33sabinef72I was eating !

21:15.55trousersI've been palying around with LaTeX, and I like it :)
21:16.13sabinef72missed me ? how is it possible !
21:16.16wethrinLaTeX rocks
21:16.35morsingsabinef72? Why?
21:16.41morsingLaTeX is superb!
21:16.43trouserswethrin: Indeed, I've started doing my coursework etc. in it - I like the style + control it offers
21:16.55trousersAnd it looks professional
21:16.59sabinef72morsing: why not !
21:17.05trousersAnd handles formuale fantastically
21:17.20wethrinYes. Soon you'll get frustrated when it doesn't lay things out quite how you want
21:17.25wethrinAnd then you're into the really fun stuff
21:17.40trouserswethrin: Is there any way to adjust the rather large left margin?
21:18.02wethrin\usepackage{a4wide}
21:18.32trousersCheers!

21:20.57trouserswethrin: I've set up a little makefile to do stuff with it :P It runs text editor, then as soon as that quits it pdflatex's and displays the PDF :D
21:21.14wethrinUse emacs
21:21.21trouserswethrin: I use nano :(
21:21.34wethrinC-c C-f to compile, C-c C-v to fire up the dvi viewer
21:21.43wethrinWhich you need to set in some option somwhere
21:21.46trouserswethrin: Oooh, *tests*
21:22.06morsingG'night all.
21:22.09wethrinnn morsing
21:22.14trousersI've never really used emacs for anything more than a simple text editor
21:22.16trousersmorsing: G'night
21:22.32trousersmorsing: Are you two in some kind of relationship? :S
21:22.35sabinef72morsing: already ?
21:22.49wethrintrousers: emacs is rubbish for a simple text editor
21:22.55morsingsabinef72: Yup, no more summer time
21:22.59sabinef72good night morsing
21:23.03morsingtrousers: I don't think so?!

21:24.33trouserswethrin: What do you do if emacs can't display any characters?
21:25.03wethrintrousers: I can't remember the magic to tell it to use xdvi
21:25.07wethrintrousers: Errr?
21:26.01trouserswethrin: What's the print screen command? :(
21:26.06trousersWell, program

22:22.30secretlondoncould i stick debian on them was my question before we split
22:23.02trousersSorry, I wasn't watching :P
22:23.15wethrinsecretlondon: Probably. If Debian/Sparc is still maintained
22:23.16trousersIt's iffy for some software support :(
22:23.18wethrin(rather than Sparc64)
22:23.28trouserswethrin: How do I get Skype working on amd64?
22:23.58wethrinNo idea. Never used Skype.
22:24.22mozratSkype == evil
22:24.45trousersmozrat: Why?
22:24.55secretlondoni think i want one anyway - but do i want five!
22:25.21trouserssecretlondon: I'll take one off you :P
22:25.30mozrattrousers: Because it is killing the chances of public VoIP networks - we already have good(ish) protocols for voice and Skype is cornering the consumer VoIP market
22:25.31wethrinsecretlondon: Pass the unwanted ones on
22:25.33mozratuse SIP instead
22:25.37mozratso we can all talk to you :-)
22:25.44wethrinsecretlondon: You could take the processor out of one of them and put it into another
22:25.48trousersSIP?
22:26.15mozratSession Initiated Protocol... check Sipgate.co.uk or install Ekiga and get a free account there
22:26.37trousersWhat is so much better about SIP then?
22:26.43mozratPlus, Skype is non-free and Linux support os apparently woeful
22:26.48mozrats/os/is/

22:27.48trousersWow!
22:27.54secretlondoni'll need to get a minicab to hackney to get
22:28.02trousersLess than three :P
22:28.04wethrinTrain there, and cab back
22:28.42secretlondonthey don't all work and come with random bits - so i dunno how many machines will get out of

22:32.49secretlondoncan one ever have too much hardware?
22:33.33wethrinsecretlondon: Yes. If it doesn't fit.
22:33.47secretlondontrue - but I only have hardware in one room so far
22:33.49rhowesecretlondon: Yes, yes one can
22:33.55wethrinsecretlondon: That's okay, then
22:34.03wethrinOh, Sun Monitors are stupidly heavy
22:34.12secretlondonbut i presume i'll need one
22:34.15wethrinBut if you need a monitor cable, I can get you one (13W3)
22:34.19wethrinNah. Serial consoles
22:34.32wethrinThey're the way to go
22:36.21wethrinI may have a spare one at home if you want
22:36.37secretlondoni'll see if/when he replies

22:57.16wethrin_trousers: Did oyu get my answer about a serial console?
23:07.33secretlondondebian for sparcs does support the sparcstation 20s - but i'd need to compile the kernel (eek!) to get smp
23:10.02wethrinThat's easy to do
23:10.26wethrinNetBSD will do it out of the box
23:10.35secretlondoni've never played with a *bsd
23:10.55secretlondonbut it's all good stuff to learn
23:16.07wethrinIndeed
23:16.38wethrinOpen will work really well. Although probably not in SMP mode
23:19.22secretlondoni may use it as a firewall - in that case openbsd seems to be the best at being a hard security bastard
23:27.27wethrinYou'll need a second network card in it
23:27.41wethrinSpecifically an sbus card
23:29.13secretlondonright.
23:30.26wethrinWhich I don't currently have spare. There may be some in your pile of Suns. But there always is an on-board card
23:30.50secretlondoni'l see what on earth it is i get - and then see what can be made from them all

23:31.47wethrinnothing wrong with that
