02:58.20 | z00dax | morning Leeds |
03:03.05 | Leeds | hey |
03:12.50 | z00dax | so, would you buy the Apple iPhone |
03:12.56 | z00dax | or the nokia n800 |
03:24.38 | Leeds | good question - but they're pretty different devices |
03:24.55 | Leeds | right now, the answer is probably more like 'neither' |
03:25.27 | z00dax | humm |
03:27.46 | Leeds | the iphone is pretty expensive - $600 with a two-year (I think) contract, and I've yet to see my top question answered - how easily can I install my own, or third-party software on it? is it locked down, or almost-locked like the iPod? |
03:28.58 | Leeds | and the days of my owning a mobile device which isn't my phone are over - I've had the Treo for over 18 months now, and I really can't see myself carrying more than one device... about the only exception right now is my camera, which I don't carry regularly, but the Treo camera is crappy enough that if you want decent pics you need a different cam |
03:29.19 | Leeds | and no, skype or gtalk over wifi is not a replacement for a phone |
03:29.53 | Leeds | oh, and for the iphone, of course, there's the question of how useful it is if you're not going to use the Apple desktop software |
03:31.19 | Leeds | I still have some hope that Access and/or Palm might put out a Linux-powered smartphone this year |
03:32.06 | Leeds | for the iphone, they made a big deal out of the fact that it's running OSX... I'm skeptical... I want to know if it's running OSX, or something different with a similar interface, both GUI and API |

03:34.17 | z00dax | dont treo already have the 700p ? |
03:34.23 | z00dax | or is that just cosmetic up on the 650 |
03:34.55 | Leeds | 700p is cmda-only |
03:35.38 | Leeds | 650, 680 and iphone are gsm/gprs/edge |
03:36.27 | Leeds | on the Apple developer site: Searched for iphone. Returned 0 results in 0.01 seconds. |
03:36.28 | z00dax | the 680 is a toy |
03:36.34 | z00dax | nice |
03:38.43 | Leeds | toy? |
03:38.52 | Leeds | it's a slightly upgraded version of the 650 |

10:45.03 | antiphase | Depends if the filenames have unescaped spaces or other nasties in |
10:45.15 | antiphase | ANy way you do it will fuck up if so |
10:45.28 | antiphase | Unless you do some crufty sed or perl to tidy them up |
10:47.43 | andrew__ | One of my hates is filenames with spaces. I don't think I have any but thanks for the warning |
10:49.40 | andrew__ | I guess a risk is if there is a file "x" and "x y". |
10:49.59 | andrew__ | mv x y somewhere will move x rather than "x y" |
10:56.40 | robo_ro | hmmm antiphase... you might find the IFS variable useful: http://notfaq.wordpress.com/ |
10:59.27 | robo_ro | just remember to unset IFS when you're fininshed, it can cause a number of programs to behave weirdly if you don't unset it |

11:20.20 | morsing | Wanted BlueLinux to say ok first |
11:20.22 | eyore | wethrin: A coreduo 2.4ghz, overclocked to 3.2ghz |
11:20.27 | eyore | apparently |
11:20.30 | morsing | eyore: Pointless |
11:20.32 | wethrin | morsing: Right |
11:20.46 | morsing | What's the bloody point of overclocking... |
11:20.53 | eyore | Entirely gaming. |
11:21.06 | eyore | otherwise it's slower in some games than the P4 it replaces |
11:21.22 | eyore | certainly not my cup of tea |
11:22.23 | wethrin | Of course there's other considerations with overlocking. If you overclock the CPU a bit too much, and the memory can't keep up its information flow, you'll be losing a lot of cycles waiting for data |
11:22.37 | eyore | yeah he got this special expensive ram too |

11:23.40 | wethrin | ! |

11:23.53 | morsing | gw280: You suck |
11:23.59 | gw280 | morsing: no, I rock. |
11:24.09 | eyore | but it is true that a dual core on a primarily single threaded game will be slower than a P4 without overclocking |
11:24.18 | eyore | because they reduced the speed |
11:26.02 | gw280 | morsing: you are full of lose. |

16:24.14 | morsing | sabinef72: I'm good thanks :) |
16:24.30 | morsing | I've been emailing with a lot of existing and old friends today :) |
16:24.35 | morsing | Has been really nice |
16:24.46 | sabinef72 | nice to hear |
16:24.47 | morsing | Even been emailing with Rik Turnbul |
16:25.08 | morsing | How are you my dear sabinef72? |
16:25.28 | sabinef72 | she is all wet |
16:25.31 | sabinef72 | stupid rain ! |
16:25.48 | morsing | :) |
16:26.36 | sabinef72 | I think a hot bath will cheer me up |
16:26.42 | morsing | Nice |
16:26.56 | wethrin | rarr |
16:27.32 | LeedsHK | see, it's been really cold here... might have fallen below 10C at night once or twice! |
16:29.44 | LeedsHK | if I said "the only thing worse than being talked about..." the answer would be? |
16:31.37 | LeedsHK | anyone? |
16:31.58 | SlayerXP | "it's having to do it whilst using a Mac" |
16:32.51 | LeedsHK | bloody hell |
16:33.06 | LeedsHK | sabinef72: Annabel has just gone for a bath too... |
16:33.49 | sabinef72 | LeedsHK: hope she isn't in my bath |
16:34.06 | LeedsHK | doubt it, unless you've come back to Hong Kong and not told me :-) |
16:35.22 | LeedsHK | so, are McDonalds doing salt'n'shake chips everywhere, or just in HK? |
16:35.24 | Blapto | or lazy... |
16:35.35 | wethrin | LeedsHK: Is not being talked about |

16:40.34 | LeedsHK | wethrin: ping? |
16:41.23 | LeedsHK | niv_one_three: not sure who's around right now, but some of the regulars here are the people I went to FOSDEM with... |
16:41.28 | wethrin | LeedsHK: pong? |
16:41.59 | LeedsHK | what I would suggest, is to get a flight as cheap as you can, then stay with other geeks somewhere cheap... you're not likely to spend much time anywhere near your bed, anyway :-) |
16:42.10 | LeedsHK | wethrin: niv_one_three has been asking me about going to FOSDEM, from Israel... |
16:42.23 | wethrin | Yay! |
16:42.31 | phearless | hi folks |
16:42.32 | wethrin | Fly to Brussels, ideally |
16:42.43 | LeedsHK | but he was looking at a non-cheap flight/hotel package |
16:43.37 | LeedsHK | niv_one_three: unless you want to pay more, of course |
16:43.59 | niv_one_three | I dont |
16:44.33 | niv_one_three | 770$ is too expensive - as I am going back to school (read Uni) next simester |
16:45.27 | LeedsHK | is it the weekend of the 25th? |
16:45.45 | niv_one_three | btw, I will install a raid5 with LVM and boot of it using the shinny new grub 1.95 |
16:46.02 | wethrin | LeedsHK: Yes |
16:46.27 | wethrin | 23rd-25th Feb. |
16:46.36 | wethrin | The youth hostel is cheap (15 EUR/night) |
16:46.49 | wethrin | I'm booking for 2 nights |
16:46.50 | LeedsHK | ha ha, it's 2007, not 2006... |
16:46.52 | niv_one_three | do I need to reserve a place? |
16:47.13 | niv_one_three | sorry, MAY I reserve a spot? |

16:47.44 | LeedsHK | niv_one_three: you mean in the youth hostel? |
16:47.50 | LeedsHK | or at the conference? |
16:47.51 | niv_one_three | does youth hostels take 31 year old geeks? |
16:48.05 | niv_one_three | I mean resevr a bed |
16:48.13 | antiphase | You have to do the washing up |
16:48.38 | niv_one_three | <PROTECTED> |
16:48.58 | antiphase | I was joking. They're not terribly bothered how old you are |
16:48.59 | niv_one_three | so the cost would be 4*15 euro + flight |
16:49.05 | LeedsHK | niv_one_three: ignore antiphase, speak to wethrin |
16:49.40 | LeedsHK | niv_one_three: okay, what days are you planning to fly? |
16:49.45 | wethrin | niv_one_three: I'm booking for the Fri/Sat and Sat/Sun nights |
16:49.46 | niv_one_three | I guess that if I find a sub 400$ flight I may just make it |
16:50.03 | wethrin | If you want different nights, you can book it at http://hihostels.com |
16:50.33 | goibhniu | morsing: aren't you hiring a cadillac and driving us to FOSDEM? |
16:50.41 | wethrin | Hm. Gone up a bit - 15.50EUR / night |
16:51.07 | LeedsHK | ibot change 186 gbp to usd |
16:51.26 | LeedsHK | niv_one_three: although that would mean flying via Madrid... |
16:52.11 | niv_one_three | no problem with spain |
16:54.02 | LeedsHK | that's what I got asking Expedia for a flight from Ben Gurion to Brussels, leaving on the Friday, returning on the Monday |
16:55.56 | niv_one_three | 360$ is ok |
16:56.00 | niv_one_three | 10x |
16:58.04 | LeedsHK | you might be able to do better than that - booking a flight from Israel to Belgium via Spain won't be a speciality of a UK online travel agent |
16:58.22 | LeedsHK | up to you, anyway... but it's a very fun weekend, normally :-) |
16:59.30 | niv_one_three | Looks like I should .. |
16:59.51 | niv_one_three | btw, are there any females in these hang outs |
16:59.52 | niv_one_three | ? |
17:00.16 | LeedsHK | a few, but it's certainly not somewhere to go to score... |

19:30.41 | wethrin | why? |
19:30.54 | gw280 | wethrin: finally got my references sorted for my firearms certificate application |
19:30.57 | gw280 | wethrin: posting them all tomorrow |
19:31.02 | wethrin | Yay. Who're you referees? |
19:31.17 | wethrin | And where would you keep the guns? Parents' home? |
19:31.23 | gw280 | wethrin: my regimental sergeant major |
19:31.33 | gw280 | wethrin: and at the national shooting centre at Bisley |
19:31.39 | wethrin | From what I gather, they need to be kept in a cabinet that's fixed permanently to the wall? |
19:31.43 | wethrin | Ah |
19:32.05 | gw280 | wethrin: yeah, I'm keeping them in the NRA armoury :) |
19:32.45 | murb | gw280: do you have to have an interview as well? |
19:32.54 | gw280 | murb: may be |
19:33.04 | wethrin | It'll be more fun when you get your own place and can keep the guns there |
19:33.07 | gw280 | murb: although I've been told they don't normally interview you if you don't intend to store them at your place |
19:33.21 | wethrin | How many referees do you need for the certificate? |
19:33.24 | murb | because i know in germany at least they won't let young people near firearms anymore after a few kids shot up their class mates. |
19:33.57 | gw280 | wethrin: two |
19:34.10 | wethrin | Who's the other referee, then? |
19:34.18 | gw280 | wethrin: the owner of a club in Harrow |
19:34.25 | wethrin | ah |
19:35.16 | gw280 | rifle club, that is |
19:35.18 | gw280 | very nice chap |
19:35.34 | wethrin | should've asked mozrat, as an ex-army chap :) |
19:35.44 | gw280 | wethrin: meh, I already had my RSM |
19:35.50 | gw280 | wethrin: who's an ex-army master sniper |
19:35.53 | wethrin | mm |
19:35.55 | gw280 | wethrin: and still holds the rank WO1 |
19:35.57 | gw280 | lol |
19:36.01 | wethrin | WO1? |
19:36.08 | boudiccas | warrant officer 1 |
19:36.13 | wethrin | right |
19:36.35 | gw280 | he has the british army record for the longest confirmed headshot |
