| 00:45.13 | Leeds | don't think so... I think it's because it's got vents on the side and the bottom, and a soft surface like a bed doesn't give enough clearance for the bottom vents to blow |

| 03:12.51 | Leeds | just getting into some platform trolling on #python :-) |
| 03:12.59 | serris_ | Sounds good |
| 03:17.44 | serris_ | I'm just trying to figure out why Americans have to be so different |
| 03:18.07 | Leeds | they don't - it's the rest of the world which is different |
| 03:19.18 | serris_ | Well I found a good recepee site. But it's American so they use cups, tbsp, oz and other things. I'm trying to look up how much 1 cup icing sugar is but apparently 1 cup == 250ml and I haven't found any indication for it to be in grams |
| 03:19.40 | serris_ | Well 1 cup apparently is 200 grams but if you're measuring icing sugar it means 100gram |
| 03:19.43 | serris_ | So confused : ( |
| 03:20.36 | Leeds | grams are metric and therefore the work of even satanic communist European socialists |
| 03:21.15 | Leeds | if cups were good enough for Lincoln, they're good enough for us! |
| 03:22.13 | serris_ | Yeah but I don't know cups which defies the point and rather than doing the usual "Uhm... I'll just add this much of butter and hopefully it'll turn out fine" won't really do |

| 14:12.39 | YoussefAssad | Leeds: On the off chance I do turn up something, you can kep the player and owe me a beer some day |
| 14:12.43 | Leeds | (that is, social/professional networking, not computer networking) |
| 14:12.48 | goibhniu | YoussefAssad: I highly recommend giving Leeds a high paid job (I'm not Leeds btw) |
| 14:12.51 | Leeds | beer? isn't that forbidden? |
| 14:13.28 | YoussefAssad | Beer? Forbidden? Lord, if beer was forbidden here I'd be dead. No, it isn't forbidden ;) |
| 14:13.36 | Leeds | I've been somewhat stymied by the apparent death of the HK LUG |
| 14:13.46 | YoussefAssad | Besides, I'm half Danish. You can't take a Dane's beer away from him |
| 14:13.55 | YoussefAssad | oh that sucks |
| 14:14.12 | Leeds | ah, so you're a muslim-hating muslim? |
| 14:14.13 | YoussefAssad | death as in, no one cares anymore and it's become just aother mailing list? |
| 14:14.50 | Leeds | there doesn't even appear to be a user mailing list - just an announce list with a 404 on the archives... they were alive last year, but there's been no apparent activity since February |
| 14:15.29 | YoussefAssad | that's horrible |
| 14:16.00 | Leeds | I mailed the listed moderators of the announce list earlier this week and I've had no response... I might try to chase further... |
| 14:17.06 | YoussefAssad | Leeds: re. muslim-hating muslim, wouldn't say so. Not a muslim myself, and I think even though these people drive me mad a billion times a day, I don't hate them so much as just think alternatively that they need either a boatload of help chnging their culture, or just to be left to their own devices a few centuries more |
| 14:17.35 | Leeds | ah, guessed the muslim from the nick and location... |
| 14:18.39 | YoussefAssad | the nick is a phonetic transliteration of Josef. :) The location is right, I've been here since 95 |
| 14:18.54 | YoussefAssad | s/transliteration/transcription/ |
| 14:19.07 | Leeds | I've got nothing at all against muslims... some of the people who claim to be islamic leaders are nut-jobs, and most arab leaders are appalling when it comes to improving life for their people |
| 14:19.09 | YoussefAssad | touche |
| 14:19.46 | Leeds | and I sort of wish people would stop crapping on the Lebanese from all directions |
| 14:20.05 | YoussefAssad | Leeds: Which is why I'm moving back to Europe. I have nothing against them either, but it becomes more difficult by the day to keep it like that. One's patience does run out |
| 14:20.58 | YoussefAssad | Plus, I still get harassed for being Danish. Which is never conducive to a pleasant day-to-day. |
| 14:21.16 | Leeds | I would think so... I'd get it worse... |
| 14:21.30 | Leeds | given that I am Mr. Cohen :-) |
| 14:21.42 | YoussefAssad | oh boy, yes that would be trouble |
| 14:22.05 | YoussefAssad | Friends of mine, half French, have the family name Charron. You wouldn't believe the hassles they get |
| 14:22.40 | sabinef72 | hi all |

| 14:25.04 | sabinef72 | Leeds: yessssssssss |
| 14:25.16 | sabinef72 | Gunde: I'll take my train tomorrow morning |
| 14:25.24 | Leeds | I'm sure I've got one here somewhere... |
| 14:25.31 | Leeds | have you been in the chunnel before? |
| 14:25.37 | sabinef72 | never |
| 14:26.04 | Leeds | well... it's not really all that exciting... it's a very long tunnel |
| 14:26.06 | sabinef72 | but mozzie said to me that the lands in the chunnel are beautiful.... |
| 14:26.27 | wethrin | No, that's the asylum seekers clinging to the bottom of the train |
| 14:26.38 | YoussefAssad | heh |
| 14:26.56 | sabinef72 | lol |
| 14:27.16 | sabinef72 | I just hope that the chunnel won't be break.... |
| 14:28.00 | Leeds | no, but you'll be able to tell when you hit the other side... when you see people walking past the train, overtaking it at a gentle strolling speed |
| 14:28.21 | sabinef72 | ok |

| 14:32.20 | Cope | YoussefAssad: how so? |
| 14:33.28 | YoussefAssad | Cope: it's at the top of slashdot.org; film rights revert to some creepy old Hollywood mogul next year, and he is bringing in Jackson. Which is why New Line appear to be in a bit of a rush at this point, rumor has it |
| 14:35.20 | goibhniu | I hope he does something interesting afterwards ... his talents are being wasted on this goblin stuff |
| 14:36.02 | Leeds | goblin? |
| 14:36.17 | YoussefAssad | I think the heretic means orc stuff |
| 14:36.37 | Leeds | they're goblins in the Hobbit :-) |
| 14:36.43 | YoussefAssad | Although, no, there _were_ goblins in hobbit |
| 14:36.45 | YoussefAssad | yes |
| 14:36.46 | goibhniu | e.g. Heavenly Creatures ... what an excellent film |
| 14:38.39 | Leeds | I like audiobooks - good for travelling, gym, and sleeping |
| 14:40.08 | YoussefAssad | some of the Berkeley podcasts have been best friends in many an airport, that is true |
| 14:42.43 | goibhniu | The lectures? That physics guy was brilliant last term |
| 14:43.39 | YoussefAssad | the lectures, yes |
| 14:43.57 | YoussefAssad | though you have to be careful, some of them are lame and some, the audio quality is horrible |
| 14:44.23 | goibhniu | Richard A. Muller: Physics 10 - Descriptive Introduction to Physics |
| 14:45.04 | goibhniu | that was brilliant ... I didn't like most of the others ...sometimes the psychology one was ok |

| 16:20.16 | boudiccas | trousers; its all in the config file i expect |
| 16:20.26 | Leeds | trousers: run it as a daemon, get it to connect to the network, give it a name, tell it which channels to connect to... |
| 16:20.39 | trousers | Leeds: As in is there an IRC library? |
| 16:20.40 | Dick_Turpin | Leeds: Well bugger me you learn something new every day, you'll wish I'd not learnt that one |
| 16:21.22 | Leeds | oh, sure |

| 16:24.59 | tripitaka | what's python good for? would you use it instead of eg. bash, perl, php? |

| 19:49.16 | boudiccas | ook |
| 19:52.39 | serris | hi boudiccas |
| 19:52.53 | boudiccas | hi serris |
| 19:52.59 | serris | how's it going? |
| 19:53.41 | boudiccas | Its a fortnight today that i put the application form in, and i haven't had any reply. I think that i'm possibly too over-qualified for them |
| 19:54.01 | boudiccas | I dount if I'll hear anyhting from them now |
| 19:54.33 | boudiccas | *doubt |
| 19:54.37 | serris | They might still be processing it. As far as I can remember the process is first come first served |
| 19:54.58 | serris | But from what I understand, there should be a lot of new job openings as specially on night shift |
| 19:55.18 | serris | The way the shift's run is being redone and they created a new job title that'll be needed to be filled |
| 19:55.31 | boudiccas | maybe they'll keep it on file for a while. but, would they put a female on night duty with other blokes? |
| 19:55.43 | serris | sure |
| 19:55.46 | serris | we have a few girls |
| 19:56.14 | YoussefAssad | I'm not the only one probing the job market, eh |
| 19:56.22 | boudiccas | ah, fair enough. that was something that my mum mentioned might impact negatively |
| 19:56.34 | serris | It's basically down to the night shift manager |
| 19:56.49 | serris | we currently have Ibelieve 4 girls on the shift |
| 19:56.52 | serris | One of 'em is a lesbian |
| 19:57.17 | serris | I think we have 4 girls... no 5 |
| 19:57.24 | boudiccas | ah well. its out of my hands now and up to them |
| 19:57.32 | serris | yep |
| 19:58.14 | serris | We had one skinny little girl join during the summer or so. I wasn't quire sure what she was doing there as she seemed to enjoy talking to her polish friend more than working and enjoyed to take a little extra 10 minutes or so with her breaks |
| 19:58.18 | boudiccas | do they take on extra staff for christmas? maybe they'd recruit me for that |
| 19:58.35 | serris | Then wasn't pleased when the CTS / Managers yelled their heads off while she was sitting upstairs 15 minutes early |
| 19:58.44 | serris | Yeah they do take on extra staff |
| 19:58.54 | serris | Not neccessarily for night shift |
| 19:59.07 | serris | The managers for my region just had a meeting |
| 19:59.14 | serris | Days are getting major hour cuts |
| 19:59.16 | serris | We're getting added |
| 19:59.30 | serris | Like I said we're having a new group created to make our lives that much better |
| 19:59.47 | serris | I made my first formal complaing against my other manager which seemed to result good |
| 19:59.50 | boudiccas | i'm just looking for a job there atm, and then i'll be in a position to apply for nights if a vacancy occurs |
| 19:59.52 | serris | complaint* |
| 20:00.41 | serris | If you can't transfer permenantly, we have a few day shift people working over time on nights |
| 20:00.57 | boudiccas | hmm |
| 20:01.35 | boudiccas | but first i have to get my foot in the door |
| 20:01.36 | serris | One guy, Josh. Lanky kid, I think he's 18? He works in the bakery but has a few nuts loose. He did a few days OT on nights and wanted to transfer. My manager gave him a quick informal interview in the smoking room and decided he can't hack it |
| 20:02.12 | serris | Plus the fact he wasn't willing to do thursday and friday didn't help. Busiest days of the week |
| 20:02.31 | serris | I'm wondering if you not writing what job you're applying for had anything to do with the delay? |
| 20:03.15 | boudiccas | could be, should i write asking for shelf filling? |
| 20:04.05 | serris | Replanishing but if you're pretty much doing that on any department. You could apply for specifics. Grocery, fresh, produce, bakery and such |
| 20:04.25 | serris | grocery is fairly easy. No need to rotate anything, just quickly throw it out and move on |
| 20:04.41 | serris | Could apply for BWS and things like that |
| 20:06.19 | boudiccas | thanks, i've made a few notes to action next week |
| 20:07.00 | serris | : ) |
| 20:07.25 | serris | I think it's me good manager in tonight, which store are you applying at? |
| 20:07.51 | boudiccas | maidstone town centre |
| 20:08.20 | boudiccas | theres also one on the outskirts of maidstone, but i'm not applying there |
| 20:08.24 | serris | alright I'll ask him |
| 20:08.27 | boudiccas | ty |
| 20:09.18 | serris | Just 3 more days at Sainsbury's and I'm on holiday! |

| 20:09.47 | serris | A week |
| 20:10.00 | boudiccas | got anything planned? |
| 20:10.25 | serris | My cousin and his lass are comin' in less than a week to stay with me and my wife for a few days |
| 20:10.38 | serris | Other than that, finishing off a bit of wood work and bits and pieces |
| 20:10.43 | boudiccas | ah, should be nice then :) |
| 20:11.02 | boudiccas | rest and relaxation are the order of the day then :) |
| 20:11.22 | serris | more or less. I just managed to catch a cold though |
| 20:11.47 | boudiccas | spread it around, pass it on :o)))) |
| 20:12.12 | serris | :D |
| 20:12.15 | serris | indeed |
| 20:15.03 | serris | I'm hoping I'll have a good 3 nights and time'll run by |
| 20:17.33 | boudiccas | keep your nose to the grindstone and it'll just fly by |
| 20:17.51 | serris | : ) |
