10:02.30 | LeedsTreo | sometimes this single-tasking gets annoying... check you mail, rhowe |
10:02.47 | LeedsTreo | wow, quick :-) how does it look? the pink is already 99% gone from the sky |
10:03.21 | rhowe | LeedsTreo: Hm.. looks more orangey - either it didn't pick it up very well, or the colours were fading, but you can tell the sky was pretty colourful |
10:03.31 | LeedsTreo | is there any green visible from the hillside? |
10:03.39 | rhowe | Nah, too dark |
10:04.00 | LeedsTreo | thought so - I was a bit too slow... |
10:04.18 | rhowe | Sunsets are hard to photograph unless you're sitting there waiting |
10:04.25 | rhowe | They change really quickly |
10:04.40 | LeedsTreo | next time I come here I'll bring a real camera & tripod |
10:05.00 | rhowe | LeedsTreo: Oh, heh. I got into trouble with my tripod at the weekend |
10:05.01 | sabinef72 | thank you LeedsTreo and rhowe for the picture |
10:05.01 | LeedsTreo | rather than a cheese & onion pastie and sushi :-) |
10:05.25 | rhowe | LeedsTreo: Went to the Tate Modern to go on the slides - was taking pictures of the slides and they said "sorry, no tripods - you might sell the pictures" |
10:05.28 | LeedsTreo | now, I should go find a postcard... |
10:05.32 | rhowe | LeedsTreo: So I got ushered out |
10:05.42 | sabinef72 | LeedsTreo: don't forget to post it !!!!!!!! |
10:05.55 | LeedsTreo | nasty people |
10:06.03 | rhowe | LeedsTreo: Later on in the evening, I was on the south bank taking some pictures across the river to the City and a council binman said "Excuse me, are you taking professional photos?" |
10:06.08 | LeedsTreo | sabinef72: my plan is to post it *before* leaving the island |
10:06.20 | sabinef72 | yeahhhhhhhh |
10:06.27 | sabinef72 | go go go LeedsTreo |
10:06.28 | rhowe | Implying that I was only allowed to take amateur photos. I laughed at him, which wasn't perhaps the most sensible thing to do, but it worked :) |
10:07.03 | LeedsTreo | rhowe: because he thought your pictures belonged in his bin? everyone's a critic... |
10:07.36 | rhowe | LeedsTreo: I think he was going to tell me that I wasn't allowed to take professional photos and that I'd have to apply for a licence or some crap |
10:07.49 | rhowe | LeedsTreo: All because I had my compact camera on a tripod instead of resting it on the hand rail |
10:08.06 | LeedsTreo | must get some phone->web thing setup... |
10:08.40 | LeedsTreo | is it a serious-sized tripod? mine is only tiny anyway, but better than hands |

13:23.18 | CopeUK | morsing: yes :) really! :) |
13:23.55 | CopeUK | morsing: lspv / lsvg seems to show about 20G free on rootvg? Am I correct? |

13:25.47 | serris | hehe I got a new manager around then too |
13:25.59 | serris | But now I have 2. One I like, the other I am hating more and more |
13:26.27 | serris | My supervisor keeps encouraging me to make formal complaints against that one manager since the supervisor dislikes him too |

13:26.56 | CopeUK | yeajh |
13:27.13 | morsing | Just be awaare that AIX doesn't mirror disks... |
13:28.53 | CopeUK | not sure I follow? |
13:30.36 | morsing | In AIX the disks are not mirrored, LVs are |
13:31.24 | morsing | So, the space available depends on if the LV you create/extend is mirrored or not |
13:32.06 | morsing | You can have three disks in a mirrored setup as an example... |
13:32.48 | CopeUK | do you mean like solaris, the OS doesn't mirror, but the software does? eg sds/svm |
13:33.32 | keithlard_ | aah, CopeUK. i've been expecting you. |
13:33.37 | CopeUK | hello keithlard |
13:33.45 | eyore | shite, just typed "dropdb postgres" instead of "dropdb videos" argh. |
13:34.27 | morsing | No, not really. I mean, you can have a VG with three disks where hd2, hd4, hd6 and hd9var are mirrored but hd5, hd10opt and hd3 are not |
13:34.43 | morsing | So it's not the disk, sector for sector, that's mirrored |
13:35.52 | eyore | oh i'm such a dumb arse |
13:36.00 | morsing | eyore: Cawfy? |
13:36.25 | eyore | if all the things i didn't want to do right now was corrupt my database installation |
13:36.30 | eyore | if = of |
13:36.36 | keithlard_ | restore from backup! |
13:37.17 | eyore | problem is i didn't corrupt the database i corrupted the database program itself |
13:37.32 | eyore | meaning i either need to work out how to fix it or how to reinstall the whole app |
13:37.44 | eyore | and yum remove, yum install doesn't do it |
13:39.27 | keithlard_ | ah so now you can't load a dump file? |
13:41.03 | keithlard_ | probably reinstall, then restore the dump |
13:47.12 | goibhniu | eyore: you corrupted the rpm database? |
13:48.06 | eyore | no, but uninstalling an reinstalling doesn't fix the corrupted postgresql install |
13:48.20 | eyore | it's okay though some guys on #postgresql fixed it for me |
13:48.29 | goibhniu | phew |
13:50.27 | keithlard_ | what was the solution? |

16:40.13 | secretlondon | so I read - I've not opened them up to see if they have dual or single mbus cpu cards |
16:40.27 | SlayerXP | i guess that. fully specced, that box might just keep up with your average dell cheap desktop |
16:40.28 | wethrin | you can really freak people out by having 3 CPUs :) |
16:41.03 | secretlondon | 3 of them have a sticker on saying 75Hz, 4G and 64 MB TRAM - however there is no guarantee thats what they actaully are |
16:41.24 | secretlondon | s/RAM/TRAM |
16:41.27 | secretlondon | s/RAM/TRAM/ |
16:41.32 | wethrin | :) |
16:41.33 | secretlondon | waa |
16:41.42 | wethrin | ITYM 75MHz |
16:41.45 | secretlondon | yeah they come with their own trams ;) |
16:41.51 | secretlondon | indeed |
16:42.18 | secretlondon | I have no idea what they put in sun monitors - they weigh a tonne! |
16:42.24 | wethrin | Lots of lead! |
16:42.40 | wethrin | Do you have a monitor lead for it? |
16:42.45 | secretlondon | it came with one |
16:42.46 | Leeds | I had a 21inch Sun monitor in my second-floor place... |
16:42.55 | wethrin | Good good |
16:42.59 | Leeds | nearly killed myself carrying it up, got a hand carrying it down again |
16:43.12 | wethrin | Leeds: Getting an E4k up a flight of stairs is a challenge |
16:43.20 | wethrin | Just about doable if you take all the boards out |
16:44.26 | secretlondon | i think they all have expansion graphics cards as well as the built in one, and many have an extra network card |
16:44.35 | SlayerXP | i fail to understand this obsession with old, crap, hardware |
16:44.36 | secretlondon | but I need to have a proper look |
16:45.02 | wethrin | They'd make a nice firewall machine |
16:45.08 | wethrin | SlayerXP: Interest, mostly |
16:45.14 | SlayerXP | nothing with a hard disk makes a nice firewall machine |
16:45.29 | SlayerXP | firewalls should have no moving parts, except perhaps a cooling fan |
16:45.33 | Leeds | in a majority of cases it's about the money |
16:45.46 | Leeds | s/majority/minority/ |
16:45.50 | Leeds | and I should go to bed :-) |
16:46.32 | rhowe | Speaking of firewalls, iTron pointed out that OBSD 4.0's out today |
16:46.48 | secretlondon | it's mainly for fun |
16:47.10 | Leeds | secretlondon: to be fair, there are much more fun things to do with your time |
16:47.45 | secretlondon | Leeds: a) it depends how sad you are b)Not in London on very little money |
16:48.24 | secretlondon | I'm going to try and get pics of all the expansion buses as wikipedia needs pics |
16:48.38 | Leeds | secretlondon: one of the many reasons why I'm happy to not be living in London any more :-) |
16:48.49 | secretlondon | Leeds: I'd rather be in Hong Kong too ;) |
16:49.16 | Leeds | so, come... we'll go to the pub |
16:50.07 | secretlondon | If I ever manage to get to HK I'll look you uop |
16:50.42 | Leeds | this afternoon, I got a ferry to Lamma, hung out and watched the sunset, had a coffee, got the ferry back... $11 for each ferry and $25 for the coffee - not exactly an expensive afternoon out |
16:51.20 | Leeds | ibot change 11 hkd to gbp |
16:51.45 | secretlondon | nice |
16:52.25 | Leeds | if I was in the mood - and hadn't done it already a few times - I could have done the 90-120 minute Lamma walk, stopped at a couple of beaches on the way, etc. for no more cash |
16:53.14 | Gunde | Leeds: On what money do you live currently? Savings or some kind of support? |
16:53.29 | Leeds | oh, and I should add a total of $5.60 or so for the tram to the ferry and the bus home afterward |
16:53.40 | Leeds | Gunde: uh, savings - more precisely, the money I made last year and didn't spend |
16:55.03 | Leeds | so short-term savings rather than long-term |
16:55.18 | goibhniu | Leeds: any luck with the job hunting? |
16:55.50 | goibhniu | you've mainly a python dev, no? |
16:56.10 | Leeds | no luck, because I've been totally crap, unfocussed, etc. and not really done anything about trying |
16:56.31 | Leeds | I've been doing python dev recently, but I did a lot of C before, and some serious shell |
16:56.47 | goibhniu | it's such a shame teleworking still hasn't taken off |
16:57.17 | Leeds | there are legal issues doing that internationally |
16:57.22 | goibhniu | London wages for HK living would be great |
16:58.12 | Leeds | that's pretty much what I had last year |
16:59.13 | goibhniu | not wearing your trousers at work being the other obvious advantage |
17:00.07 | Leeds | I actually think the way we did things at Sun was quite good - you could, at your choice and your manager's discretion, work at home, as long as you were reasonable, came in for regular meetings, etc. |
17:00.57 | goibhniu | I spend 4 hours a day commuting so that I can say good morning and good evening ... and a bit of chit chat in between |
17:01.57 | Leeds | yeah, that's crap - I had 20 minutes or so each way |
17:03.19 | goibhniu | ever tried "codelancing" or whatever it is where you bid on projects? |
17:03.56 | goibhniu | I guess the competition is tough, but I like the idea |
17:04.24 | Leeds | I'm somewhat paranoid about the work visa thing - I'd prefer something permanent/full-time |
17:05.09 | Leeds | people keep asking me why I don't just freelance - make enough to live on, etc. - but again, I'm worried about the legalities... |
17:05.16 | Leeds | would be much easier in the EU or Israel |
17:07.42 | Leeds | due to lack of need of work visa, obviously |
17:07.50 | goibhniu | you just need to marry into the HK police force I guess |
17:08.31 | Leeds | why police? |
17:08.39 | goibhniu | you don't speak Chinese do you? |
17:08.59 | murb | Leeds: find a nic echinese girl. |
17:09.04 | Leeds | nope - a couple of random words/phrases I've picked up around the place... I read more than I speak |
17:09.45 | murb | Leeds: if you free lanced, could you set up a ltd and employ yourself? |
17:09.52 | Leeds | murb: also an option... or, as it happens, given the current legal situation, a non-chinese girl with a work visa :-) |
17:10.10 | Leeds | I could setup a company, but I really really don't want to deal with the hassle - I'm quite happy as an employee for now |
17:10.54 | murb | what sort of freelance work is avalible? |
17:11.22 | Leeds | dunno, really... more php/mysql stuff than real coding, I think |
17:13.06 | Leeds | got an email forwarded on to me today asking for "two or three GOOD JAVA/AJAX/PHP/MySQL developers who could work on a pretty impressive project for three months" |

18:08.37 | secretlondon | I've just been given 5 sparcstation 20s |
18:08.51 | Cope | ah 20s? |
18:09.05 | Cope | they're fun |
18:09.23 | secretlondon | i hope so - not looked at any of them yet - not had suns before |
18:09.31 | Cope | are you going to stick with solaris on them? |
18:10.04 | secretlondon | they'll need something putting on them - i might try debian for sparcs |
18:10.18 | Cope | if you want to use linux, debian is ok, but not really stable on 32 bit sparc |
18:10.30 | secretlondon | what would you suggest? |
18:10.32 | Cope | not the fault of debian - just the way it is - same for gentoo |
18:10.39 | Cope | I would use solaris or netbsd |
18:10.49 | Cope | netbsd on sparcstations flies |
18:10.54 | secretlondon | ok thanks - someone else suggested netbsd |
18:11.10 | Cope | do have at least 2 solaris machines though |
18:11.19 | Cope | sol 9 will run fine on them |
18:11.39 | secretlondon | ok |
18:11.43 | Cope | bit slow, and forget running a bitmapped display - that's painful |
18:11.55 | Cope | sol 8 would be fine too, and would be good for experimenting |
18:12.00 | Cope | but netbsd rocks |
18:12.12 | secretlondon | thanks - i'll download it |
18:12.55 | secretlondon | still to work out how to install on them anyway. don't think i have any cd or floppy drives - but not inspected thoroughly |
18:13.19 | Cope | do you have any networked machines on the same vlan? |
18:13.30 | Cope | s/vlan/subnet/ |
18:13.49 | secretlondon | i can network however it best suits - I just have the one desktop on currently |
18:14.45 | secretlondon | but I need to get a hub or switch anyway as I'm currently just using cross over cable when needed |
18:17.33 | Cope | right |
18:17.43 | Cope | well if you do, a diskless install is do-able |
18:17.50 | Cope | with tftp and nfs |
18:20.34 | secretlondon | thanks |
18:23.10 | Gunde | Has anybody of you ever heard of http://www.antispamproject.info/ ? |
18:26.05 | secretlondon | no |
18:26.34 | Cope | no |
18:28.08 | Gunde | According to their page they want to help webmasters to secure their guestbooks against spam. They draw attention to themselves by spamming guestbooks. |
18:28.29 | Gunde | I only saw it, because I get a mail everybody generates an error in my guestbook. |
18:28.49 | psnl | a novel approach to pushing a antispam solution |
18:28.52 | Gunde | Not a nice method, but maybe ok, so I thought. |
18:28.54 | Gunde | But! |
18:29.45 | Gunde | Today another spam attempt, from a different IP. But the data used for submitting the form still had the encrypted IP from that antispam site in it. |
18:30.10 | Gunde | So somehow I doubt they really have the right motives to run their site. |
18:30.40 | secretlondon | almost blackmail? |
18:31.05 | Gunde | blackmailing means putting pressure on somebody, right? |
18:31.08 | secretlondon | yes |
18:31.31 | secretlondon | they will spam your guestbook until you buy their software |
18:31.35 | Gunde | No, they dont want you to buy a product or so, they dont offer anything they could get richt with |
18:32.44 | Gunde | Among other things they link to a commercial product, but they also link to descriptions about how captchas work. |

20:21.06 | rhowe | murb: Yeah.. there was something on the XFS mailing list about it |
20:21.22 | Gunde | is ibot able to calculate time zone differences? |
20:21.38 | rhowe | murb: The guy doing swsusp (the other one is suspend2, I think) didn't seem to grok the concept of a filesystem journal |
20:22.03 | rhowe | murb: Easy fix - freeze the filesystem before suspend. He didn't seem to grok |
20:22.44 | rhowe | This thing has to pick something up, surely? |
20:23.43 | rhowe | Bus 002 Device 003: ID 07c4:a600 Datafab Systems, Inc. |
20:23.44 | rhowe | aha |
20:24.01 | rhowe | Now, why can't it see me plug in a mouse, a floppy drive or a bluetooth adapter? |
20:24.12 | rhowe | I wonder if it can read anything from a memory card |
20:24.43 | rhowe | <PROTECTED> |
20:24.47 | rhowe | yup |
20:25.33 | rhowe | It's not like it's missing the relevant USB driver, it just can't see a USB device being plugged in |
20:25.38 | rhowe | I wonder if it's a power problem |

21:12.31 | rhowe | whee |
21:12.37 | rhowe | We now have a Linux desktop in the kitchen |
21:13.36 | trousers | rhowe: Funky, is it controlling the oven/toaster or anything or is it just there? :P |
21:13.55 | rhowe | trousers: Just there :) |
21:14.18 | rhowe | trousers: It's actually my web/remote access server, but it's now been 'repurposed' :) |
21:15.25 | trousers | rhowe: Set it up with the oven so you can start dinner from a blackberry :) |
21:16.50 | trousers | Aha, I finally have irssi sorted out \p/ |
21:34.28 | trousers | And am also slowly converting some people at school to Linux \o/ |
21:45.22 | mozrat | trousers: you have /server and /connect |
21:45.37 | mozrat | IIRC /server disconnects you from your current server and connects to another |
21:45.45 | mozrat | <PROTECTED> |

22:31.05 | mozrat | any mailing list admins here? |
22:36.35 | sabinef72 | not me |
22:38.31 | mozrat | Are you on the mailing list? |
22:41.08 | sabinef72 | no |
22:41.34 | sabinef72 | I don't now what is it |
22:42.35 | mozrat | the GLLUG Linux list |
22:42.51 | sabinef72 | have I to be on the mailing list ? |
22:43.43 | mozrat | Not really |
22:44.29 | sabinef72 | I'm not a geek woman, so.... |
22:44.37 | mozrat | fair enough |
22:46.09 | sabinef72 | if you think I have a good reason to be on the mailing list, in this case ok |
22:46.11 | sabinef72 | otherwise.... |
22:47.48 | mozrat | don't bother joining it |
22:48.50 | sabinef72 | is it geek emails ? |
22:48.55 | mozrat | ooh yes |
22:50.08 | sabinef72 | well, I will understand anything in this case |
22:50.18 | sabinef72 | except if it's about gimp |
22:50.38 | sabinef72 | I could understand a bit in this case |
22:51.52 | mozrat | you meant to say "I won't understand anything....." |
22:51.58 | mozrat | not "I will..." |
22:52.12 | sabinef72 | euh.... |
22:52.19 | sabinef72 | well...I dunno |

22:58.00 | Leeds | hmm... someone is leeching off my connection, I think |
22:58.31 | mozrat | hi quinophex |
22:58.41 | mozrat | Leeds: find and destroy them |
22:59.17 | quinophex | hi mozrat |
22:59.32 | quinophex | i thought i should better come back here as i'm starting a new job in the big city on monday |
22:59.43 | mozrat | quinophex: oh cool. congratulations |
23:00.21 | Leeds | wouldn't be so bad if they were polite enough to throttle themselves, but it seemed like they were flooding my line |
23:00.30 | Leeds | quinophex: I assume you mean London... :-) |
23:00.58 | quinophex | Leeds: well, yes ;) |
23:01.36 | quinophex | it's big, it's a city |
23:01.40 | quinophex | matches the profile :) |
23:02.03 | quinophex | going to miss the meeting next week, which is annoying :( |
23:02.10 | Leeds | the/a |
23:02.11 | mozrat | shame :( |
23:02.18 | Leeds | I'm not going to be able to make the meeting either |
23:02.45 | quinophex | i wanted to hear the talk about xen |
23:02.56 | quinophex | i don't suppose anyone makes recordings of talks or something? |
23:03.08 | mozrat | quinophex: it is a possibility |
23:03.23 | mozrat | we should be doing such things.. problem is finding volunteers to do a decent job of it |
23:03.32 | mozrat | they are *very* thin on the ground at the moment |
23:03.38 | Leeds | also, serving... |
23:03.58 | mozrat | Leeds: less of a problem. HantsLUG have that cracked now |

23:04.13 | quinophex | i'd want to volunteer... but, i'm travelling back to norfolk each weekend for a while until i get sorted out with proper place to live etc. |
23:04.32 | Leeds | yeah, as long as you've got permission from the speaker |
23:04.53 | mozrat | quinophex: we have one GLLUG talk on our website actually |
23:04.56 | boudiccas | quinophex; whereabouts in Norfolk? I did my nurse training at the N&N |
23:05.04 | quinophex | Aylsham |
23:05.08 | quinophex | the old N&N? |
23:05.08 | Leeds | quinophex: everyone has a good reason not to help out - the problem is that *everyone* has a good reason |
23:05.19 | boudiccas | Ah, I used to live in Dereham |
23:05.31 | quinophex | Leeds: i've done a fair amount for Alug while i've been here... i'm quite happy to do stuff for gllug |
23:05.46 | boudiccas | yes, the old N&N not the N&NUH |
23:06.07 | boudiccas | beer! |
23:06.13 | Leeds | sorry - that wasn't sarcastic... that genuinely is the problem, that everyone has a good reason - something else to do that's more important to them, etc. |
23:06.54 | quinophex | well, if people don't mind my 18 month old daughter coming to meetings then it'd certainly be a case of being able to help ;) |
23:07.06 | quinophex | she likes Tux, computers and is very well behaved :) |
23:07.13 | mozrat | quinophex: ooh, she might take the record off of Wm |
23:07.19 | mozrat | he was 4 I think |
23:07.26 | quinophex | she's been to a couple of Alug meetings |
23:08.01 | mozrat | quinophex: we have had a couple of children come before, it's not really a problem at all. |
23:08.11 | quinophex | oh, good |
23:08.18 | quinophex | i know some geeks don't like children |
23:08.21 | mozrat | I'll take mine at some stage, but she has ballet and swimming on Saturdays |
23:08.28 | quinophex | but, if she was ever to misbehave we'd take her out, obviously |
23:08.28 | mozrat | quinophex: their loss, tbh |
23:08.33 | quinophex | and not take her into talks etc. |
23:08.51 | mozrat | quinophex: our venue has a quick escape route ideal for kiddies :-) |
23:09.00 | mozrat | sit at the top near the fire exit |
23:09.14 | Leeds | as long as she doesn't mind being used as a football... |
23:09.39 | quinophex | if i was rich i'd get her a toughbook as her laptop |
23:20.50 | sabinef72 | time for bed |
23:20.54 | sabinef72 | good night all |
23:22.27 | mozrat | ouchy |
23:22.30 | mozrat | nn sabinef72 |
23:22.40 | mozrat | nn |
23:23.52 | Leeds | 'night |
23:25.01 | keithlard_ | i could video the talks on my phone! |
23:25.16 | keithlard_ | except it only has about 32Mb of memory, so that's enough for about ten seconds :S |
23:26.32 | Leeds | I suspect that if someone reputable would honestly volunteer to do the filming, someone else could be found to lend a camcorder |
23:27.46 | quinophex | i've got a camcorder.... but... |
23:27.49 | quinophex | it has no microphone port |
23:36.19 | *** join/#gllug catalyst (n=catalyst@allegro/user/angelchild) |
23:40.59 | *** join/#gllug catalyst (n=catalyst@allegro/user/angelchild) |
23:48.47 | keithlard_ | i can take informative stills :) |
23:48.56 | secretlondon | do we have any reputable? |
23:48.59 | secretlondon | anyone |
23:52.01 | keithlard_ | i'm disreputable, but i'd be happy to film if someone lends me a camera |
23:55.36 | quinophex | the camera might have a reasonable enough microphone, but at the back of a lecture hall i'd doubt it :( |
23:59.05 | Leeds | so, the plan is... quinophex gets a new, better camera, and keithlard_ uses it... right? |
23:59.19 | quinophex | i wish i was rich enough ;) |
23:59.42 | keithlard_ | even a webcam would be fine |
23:59.53 | keithlard_ | we're not exackly making 2001 here |
23:59.59 | quinophex | just taking this job, travelling for interviews, buying a few bits, paying for a months rent etc. has cost me over a grand |
