| 00:03.32 | wethrin | hi |
| 00:11.21 | bilarh | go to bed :) |
| 00:12.22 | catalyst`lappy | morsing? |
| 00:12.34 | cpufreak | catalyst: he was drunk earlier and is going on holiday tomorrow |
| 00:12.41 | cpufreak | so I suspect he's passed out /asleep |
| 00:13.29 | catalyst | I know |
| 00:13.55 | catalyst | I was just wondering if he'd found somewhere other than his car to stay for the night which it seems he has so that's good :) |
| 00:14.03 | catalyst | was a bit worried about him |
| 00:18.04 | cpufreak | well I offered him a lift to gatwick |
| 00:18.10 | cpufreak | he said he thought he could go back inside |
| 00:18.13 | cpufreak | so I asusme that what he did |
| 00:19.10 | wethrin | He's not staying at his place overnight? |
| 00:19.33 | catalyst | long story |
| 00:19.58 | wethrin | I saw he said his friend chucked him out |
| 00:20.17 | catalyst | I think he's taken him back in |
| 00:21.05 | wethrin | Oh....he's staying around Hemel Hempsted, rather than Aylesbury? |
| 00:21.45 | cpufreak | yeh |
| 00:22.07 | wethrin | For convenience of getting a lift to LGW? |
| 00:28.17 | bilarh | he got chucked out? :) |
| 00:29.49 | catalyst | not precisely |
| 00:30.13 | catalyst | but so long as he's not sleeping in his car I'm fairly happy :) |
| 00:30.21 | catalyst | and hopefully he'll have a decent holiday |
| 00:30.28 | catalyst | the chap seems like he needs a bit of a break |
| 00:30.42 | wethrin | indeed |
| 00:30.48 | bilarh | man, that's harsch |
| 00:30.59 | bilarh | i just read up above |

| 01:59.12 | rhowe | mmm, popcorn |
| 01:59.34 | rhowe | Leeds: Did you manage to vook anywhere in the end? |
| 02:00.36 | Leeds | no... |
| 02:01.05 | Leeds | and now she's in a really bad mood for some - as yet undiscovered - reason... and is talking about staying at home with the door locked |
| 02:07.54 | rhowe | female.hk |
| 02:09.05 | Leeds | now she's worried there's too many people coming... I really must resist the urge to say "well, I wanted to eat with one other person - you're the one who started inviting guests!" |
| 02:10.37 | rhowe | Leeds: Well I just had to deal with someone who didn't want to come out tonight because "it's raining and I've never been to that bar before, don't know if there is anywhere I can put my coat" |
| 02:10.44 | rhowe | Leeds: And he's MALE! |
| 02:11.02 | rhowe | Leeds: So whilst I can sympathise, I can't say I'm altogether astonished |
| 02:11.03 | Leeds | um... |
| 02:11.08 | Leeds | don't you have a good lady wife? |
| 02:11.14 | Leeds | or did I miss something? |
| 02:11.19 | rhowe | Leeds: I do indeed |
| 02:11.29 | Leeds | then why are you planning a gay date tonight? |
| 02:11.32 | rhowe | Leeds: But, well, Emma's in London and the good lady wife was asleep |
| 02:11.48 | Leeds | oh, wait - 'tonight' meaning Tuesday :-) |
| 02:11.59 | rhowe | Tonight meaning, eh.. |
| 02:12.01 | rhowe | yeah, I guess |
| 02:12.07 | Leeds | it's Wednesday morning here ;-_ |
| 02:12.09 | Leeds | ;-) |
| 02:12.19 | rhowe | It's Wednesday morning here, too :O |
| 02:12.38 | Leeds | proper wednesday morning... like with daylight and everything, apparently |
| 02:12.55 | rhowe | Well, there were birds singing, but not a lot of daylight |
| 02:13.06 | catalyst | I am continuing my "Bollocks to Valentine's Day" campaign with vigour :) |
| 02:13.30 | rhowe | catalyst: Bollocks tend to feature fairly significantly on valentine's day |
| 02:13.31 | Leeds | at this point, my campaign appears to have collapsed into 6 Cantonese speakers and me having a curry |
| 02:13.38 | catalyst | rhowe: not on mine :) |
| 02:13.56 | rhowe | Leeds: Doesn't sound so bad |
| 02:14.18 | rhowe | Leeds: How do you fancy my chances of being able to sleep on your floor from the 3rd-6th April? |
| 02:14.49 | Leeds | rhowe: I set down two rules for dinner... don't let me talk all night, and at least some English in the conversation... now she's worried that with 5 friends, they'll just jabber away and ignore me |
| 02:15.06 | Leeds | you don't want to sleep on this floor - it's hard wood... I do have a sofa, but it's a bit small |
| 02:15.25 | rhowe | Leeds: Well, it's either that or hotel |
| 02:15.38 | rhowe | Leeds: Admittedly, .hk hotels tend to be fairly good |
| 02:15.49 | Leeds | but expensive |
| 02:15.56 | rhowe | not necessarilyA |
| 02:16.06 | rhowe | Although at the start of June, not especially cheap |
| 02:16.19 | Leeds | um... |
| 02:16.24 | rhowe | er, April |
| 02:16.26 | Leeds | 3-6 April isn't the start of June |
| 02:16.28 | rhowe | Close enoguh |
| 02:16.56 | Leeds | not really... it's relatively likely I'll still be here in April, at least at the start of the month... less likely I'll be here in June :-( |
| 02:18.06 | rhowe | Well I wouldn't get too hung up on valentine's, anyhow. Next weekend is where it's at |
| 02:18.12 | Leeds | ? |
| 02:18.42 | rhowe | Gong Hei Fat Choi? |
| 02:19.02 | rhowe | Or however you're supposed to romanise it |
| 02:19.17 | Leeds | oh, yeah... not quite the same "where it's at" though |
| 02:19.40 | rhowe | Well, New Year is everybody's birthday |
| 02:19.52 | rhowe | ostensibly quite a bit more important than 14/2 |
| 02:20.02 | Leeds | you ever been here for valentines? |
| 02:20.25 | rhowe | Sure, I proposed in Festival Walk on valentine's |
| 02:20.35 | Leeds | festival walk? smooth ;-) |
| 02:20.50 | Leeds | ah, that was the mad 2-day trip? |
| 02:20.55 | Leeds | on the ice, I hope? |
| 02:21.08 | rhowe | nope, the 1-day trip was a month or so earlier |
| 02:21.11 | rhowe | nope, overlooking the ice |
| 02:22.04 | Leeds | who is still in my MSN, by the way |
| 02:22.10 | rhowe | heh |
| 02:22.21 | Leeds | although I'm apparently not in hers |
| 02:22.26 | rhowe | Who has a new boyfriend |
| 02:22.31 | Leeds | damn... |
| 02:22.39 | rhowe | Well, newish |
| 02:22.45 | rhowe | Damned if I can keep track |
| 02:23.37 | Leeds | I was going to pop up out of nowhere, ask her to join me at McDonalds tonight, then tell Jasmine I'd had enough and was taking another girl out ;-) |
| 02:23.59 | rhowe | heh, that's cheating! |
| 02:24.26 | Leeds | she's the one who's invited 5 friends along because she's scared of having dinner with me tonight! |
| 02:25.00 | rhowe | *nod* |
| 02:25.10 | rhowe | Well, quite understandable, if you ask me |
| 02:25.18 | Leeds | yes, of course |
| 02:25.38 | Leeds | I was slightly nonplussed when that was her answer... the question seemed bold but appropriate... |
| 02:27.48 | rhowe | Comprehension is secondary |
| 02:34.01 | rhowe | Do not question the ways of the Others |
| 02:57.16 | clive-h | others? |
| 02:57.56 | Leeds | f... f... f... females... |
| 02:58.10 | clive-h | ahhh |
| 02:58.37 | clive-h | i'm terrible with women |
| 03:02.15 | Leeds | finally! |
| 03:02.42 | Leeds | found a place which is a) doing a regular a la carte menu - okay, as well as a Valentine's buffet and b) has space for a booking at 7:30 |
| 03:10.28 | clive-h | ooooh |
| 03:27.14 | Leeds | we now appear to be heading for 8 people, with a suggestion of hotpot... which I can't really do |
| 03:38.20 | clive-h | hotpot? |
| 03:39.19 | Leeds | no, no hotpot |
| 03:39.56 | Leeds | you're asking what hotpot is? |
| 03:40.05 | clive-h | no |
| 03:40.23 | clive-h | i know what itis |
| 03:40.35 | clive-h | it's not edible |
| 03:41.01 | Leeds | why not? |
| 03:41.36 | clive-h | it contains beef |
| 03:41.42 | Leeds | not always |
| 03:42.23 | clive-h | i could eat non-beef hotpot |

| 08:22.44 | Leeds | bilarh: it really would have been inappropriate... |
| 08:23.04 | bilarh | and all the other crap |
| 08:23.09 | bilarh | women, eh |
| 08:23.19 | bilarh | can't live with them, can't have a clean house without em :( |
| 08:23.53 | Leeds | she's having some bad period pains... opened the conversation this afternoon with "I want to die" "die die die" |
| 08:24.06 | Leeds | then announced that the best solution would be to get pregnant... |
| 08:24.14 | bilarh | :-O |
| 08:24.24 | SlayerXP | Leeds: her or you? |
| 08:24.38 | bilarh | you can stay here if you need to hide somewhere :) |
| 08:24.54 | Leeds | find it so hard not to answer "hey - you're the one telling me dinner on the 14th is too much, too soon... I think it's a bit early to talk about having kids together!" |
| 08:25.02 | bilarh | hehe |
| 08:25.04 | sabinef72 | get pregnant is nice.... |
| 08:25.14 | bilarh | sabine: well, it's what comes after that is nasty :) |
| 08:25.23 | bilarh | well, possibly.. I can't really comment, but I think it may be, anyway :) |
| 08:25.28 | sabinef72 | bilarh: I know... I am ! |
| 08:25.33 | Leeds | sabinef72: should sort out period pains for a while, anyway ;-) |
| 08:26.00 | sabinef72 | but get pregnant is never a way to feel better in his head |
| 08:26.24 | bilarh | depends on which head, eh? :P |
| 08:26.51 | sabinef72 | lol |
| 08:26.57 | Leeds | sabinef72: his head, certainly not... her head - can't really say |
| 08:27.07 | sabinef72 | kids will never fix problems in your life |
| 08:27.44 | bilarh | anyway, as much as like discussing random stuff with you people, i'm a bit scared by this discussion so i'm off to make some noodles instead |

| 16:09.59 | murb | i thought a kukri was more a swinging weapon than a stapping one? |
| 16:10.25 | z00dax_train | still quite potent on the streets |
| 16:11.24 | murb | z00dax_train: the streets of singapore maybe. |
| 16:11.50 | murb | the last i checked the uk didn't have a Gurkha police force. |
| 16:13.23 | boudiccas | murb; i think that the kukri can be used both ways |
| 16:46.37 | clive-h | that doesn't sound exactly street legal |
| 16:47.13 | boudiccas | its not used in the street, it hangs on my wall as decoration |
| 16:47.34 | clive-h | lol |
| 16:48.41 | clive-h | I'm told a leatherman tool thingy isn't legal either |
| 16:49.39 | boudiccas | lots of things aren't legal yet still appear in common usage. its only when they're misused that they come to the attention of the law |
| 16:50.00 | clive-h | I guess so |
| 16:50.18 | clive-h | I keep seeing car drivers using mobile phones |
| 16:50.25 | boudiccas | yes |
| 16:50.54 | Kitty | what are you lot discussing ? |
| 16:51.06 | clive-h | in contravention of the law and sanity really |
| 16:51.07 | boudiccas | legal stuff before tea time |
| 16:51.12 | Kitty | aah |
| 16:51.15 | Kitty | what sort of legal stuff |
| 16:51.28 | boudiccas | <PROTECTED> |
| 16:51.40 | wethrin | Such as talking on mobile phones :) |
| 16:51.48 | boudiccas | whilst driving |
| 16:52.07 | wethrin | it's only a matter of time... |
| 16:52.29 | boudiccas | presumably you could also get done by thel aw for using a mobile phone whilst riding a push bike? |
| 16:52.33 | Kitty | no |
| 16:52.34 | boudiccas | *the law |
| 16:52.39 | clive-h | I'd imagine so yes |
| 16:52.48 | Kitty | only if thay can prove you are not doing so with due care and attention |
| 16:53.00 | Kitty | like you can't be done for speeding on a bike |
| 16:53.04 | clive-h | The law is about to change |
| 16:53.04 | Kitty | only riding dangerously |
| 16:53.12 | Kitty | the law changes daily |
| 16:53.19 | Kitty | and there is no way we can keep up with it all |
| 16:53.23 | Kitty | which is why lawyers make shit loads |
| 16:53.26 | Kitty | and we get fucked |
| 16:53.30 | wethrin | Bikes...I think you can be done for speeding |
| 16:53.33 | Kitty | ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law |
| 16:53.39 | clive-h | You can be done for being drunk in charge of a push bike |
| 16:53.51 | Kitty | wethrin: no, the actual crime is dangerous cycling, else they would require bikes have speedos |
| 16:53.59 | Kitty | clive-h: you can be done for drunk in charge of a pram! |
| 16:54.14 | clive-h | he h |
| 16:54.38 | clive-h | that's just drunk and disorderly surely? |
| 16:54.44 | Kitty | no |
| 16:54.52 | Kitty | drunk in charge of a vehicle |
| 16:54.53 | wethrin | Drunk and disorganised! |
| 16:55.00 | Kitty | incidentally |
| 16:55.07 | Kitty | we have a serious and organised crime unit |
| 16:55.14 | Kitty | is there a silly and disorganised crime unit ? |
| 16:55.21 | wethrin | Yes. The local coppers. |
| 16:55.57 | Kitty | no, a unit for silly and disorganised crime, not a unit that are silly and disorganised |
| 16:56.14 | wethrin | oh... |
| 16:56.22 | clive-h | That would be surreal |
| 16:56.32 | Kitty | quite |
| 16:57.18 | wethrin | Kitty: I disremember slightly - you want a Sun 3/80? They're a fairly rare architecture |
| 16:57.28 | Kitty | ooh |
| 16:57.29 | Kitty | yus |
| 16:57.54 | wethrin | roight.....plotter? Has pens, but they're a bit dried out |
| 16:58.07 | Kitty | sure |
| 16:58.10 | Kitty | never had a plotter |
| 16:58.13 | Kitty | wanted one tho |
| 16:58.20 | wethrin | Rightho |
| 16:59.01 | wethrin | And presumably a printer to go with the boxes of greenbar? |
| 16:59.06 | wethrin | (they're all wide carriage) |
| 16:59.25 | clive-h | Never even seen a 3/80 , though I still have a SS1 which is contemporary |
| 16:59.38 | Kitty | clive-h: I have an ss1 and 2 ss2's |
| 16:59.43 | Kitty | I use them as tables |
| 16:59.55 | clive-h | Lol |
| 17:00.09 | Kitty | I have alot of sun kit |
| 17:00.18 | clive-h | I do too |
| 17:00.34 | cpufreak | I have lots of sun kit too |
| 17:00.40 | cpufreak | its not crusty old stuff though |
| 17:00.44 | clive-h | SS1, IPX, SS10, SS5, u5, u2, u10 |
| 17:02.34 | cpufreak | 12x e6900, ~200x T2000, 30x v490, 20x v890, loads of v440/v445s etc etc |
| 17:02.35 | Kitty | IPX, IPC, Classic, LC, SS1, SS2, SS20 |
| 17:02.38 | wethrin | Currently my oldest Sun is a U1 that's running dns/dhcpd |
| 17:02.52 | Kitty | clive-h: well done, you can piss furhter |
| 17:02.58 | SlayerXP | i buy my doorstops from Homebase |
| 17:03.48 | clive-h | I doubt I'll ever power the sun4m kit on again |
| 17:04.02 | clive-h | or the sun4c |
| 17:04.33 | clive-h | That's a lot of kit for a house, cpufreak |
| 17:06.24 | cpufreak | its not at home |
| 17:06.50 | wethrin | But you're not binning any of it, are you? :) |
| 17:07.44 | cpufreak | no |
| 17:07.55 | clive-h | Lol |
| 17:07.56 | cpufreak | well technically most of it is not mine to bin |
| 17:08.00 | wethrin | :) |
| 17:08.00 | cpufreak | but its still mine |
| 17:09.07 | clive-h | I'd like a decent sun server for home |
| 17:09.30 | clive-h | But since it ain't gonna happen I suspect |
| 17:09.33 | wethrin | My colo's a Netra T1, which works nicely |
| 17:09.56 | wethrin | I palmed off the last of my 32-bit Sparcs onto the Computing Society |
| 17:10.42 | clive-h | I dump old pcs |
| 17:10.57 | clive-h | I feel more sentimental about spqrcs |
| 17:10.57 | wethrin | Everyone dumps old PCs :) |
| 17:11.09 | clive-h | sparcs ven |
| 17:11.14 | clive-h | even |
| 17:11.28 | Kitty | FURNITURE! :p |
| 17:11.43 | clive-h | Lol |
| 17:11.57 | wethrin | Kitty: I don't care what you do with them :) |
| 17:12.07 | clive-h | I turned down an E420 last week |
| 17:12.08 | Kitty | I served xmas dinner a couple of years back off a table made of a beer keg and ss2's |
| 17:12.11 | wethrin | Fool! |
| 17:12.12 | Kitty | clive-h: WHY!? |
| 17:12.20 | wethrin | Which reminds me....I should email Tushar |
| 17:12.29 | clive-h | They're a bit big |
| 17:12.46 | wethrin | They're on wheels! |
| 17:12.59 | wethrin | I have an E450. Well, it's the Computing Society's |
| 17:13.12 | clive-h | and I really don't need an E420 |
| 17:13.13 | wethrin | But I might nab it if no-one else will take it at the end of the (academic) year |
| 17:14.32 | Kitty | mmm, 450 |
| 17:15.03 | clive-h | heavy |
| 17:18.34 | clive-h | if i get a job i shall colo a mac mini |
| 17:18.47 | cpufreak | if you can find someone who will talke one |
| 17:19.02 | clive-h | mythic beasts do |
| 17:19.20 | cpufreak | most non shoddy places require rackmountable stuff |
| 17:19.51 | clive-h | for various values of non shoddy |
| 17:20.23 | Kitty | I got asked recently if I would accept an xbox as a colo machine |
| 17:20.26 | Kitty | which made me laugh |
| 17:20.30 | wethrin | Hahahaha |
| 17:20.40 | clive-h | lol |
| 17:20.49 | Kitty | the most stupid yet was someone asked to colo a rack mount fridge |
| 17:20.52 | Kitty | mainly to see what I said |
| 17:21.14 | Kitty | I said "sure, you pay for power and rack space. How much bandwidth do you want for it?" |
| 17:21.17 | Kitty | and they just blinked |
| 17:21.21 | clive-h | Lol |
| 17:21.35 | Kitty | bluff ... called! |
| 17:22.06 | wethrin | Mmm.....rackmount fridge |
| 17:22.12 | wethrin | How much would a rackmount winerack cost to rack? |
| 17:22.12 | clive-h | I suppose a hacked xbox might even make sense |
| 17:22.36 | clive-h | Strowger as in John hein? |
| 17:22.38 | Kitty | wethrin: how high is it ? |
| 17:22.49 | wethrin | Kitty: I disremember. I think it's about 4U |
| 17:22.54 | Kitty | erm |
| 17:23.02 | Kitty | howmuch power and bandwdith does it need? |
| 17:23.08 | wethrin | none |
| 17:23.18 | Kitty | hmmm |
| 17:23.22 | Kitty | let me do some maths |
| 17:23.26 | wethrin | Oh, no, it's 3U |
| 17:23.31 | wethrin | http://www.canford.co.uk/commerce/resources/catdetails/2458.pdf |
| 17:23.34 | Kitty | but you are looking at about 50 quid for that :p |
| 17:23.36 | Kitty | cos its you |
| 17:23.43 | wethrin | 50 quid per what? :) |
| 17:23.48 | Kitty | of course, if you want me to swap the bottles or anything, that might cost |
| 17:23.50 | Kitty | month |
| 17:24.07 | clive-h | Redbus MER was too warm ambient temp for wine or beer storage |
| 17:24.09 | wethrin | It'd be useful emergency supply if you're in the datacentre |
| 17:24.16 | wethrin | Even red wine? |
| 17:24.25 | Kitty | I think our DC is at 17c |
| 17:24.27 | Kitty | not sure |
| 17:24.30 | clive-h | probably ok for red |
| 17:25.47 | clive-h | webtapestry would probably host mac minis |
| 17:26.05 | clive-h | they seemed to have some tower boxes |
| 17:27.04 | wethrin | If I wanted something purely as a backup nameserver that I have control over, how much is that likely to set me back? |
| 17:27.30 | cpufreak | wethrin: http://www.hetzner.de IYF |
| 17:28.42 | wethrin | hmm |
| 17:28.49 | Kitty | wethrin: you have PM |

| 17:33.27 | niv_one_three | leeds:! |
| 17:34.04 | murb | yep hetzner++ |
| 17:51.32 | Leeds | well... we had a not particularly romantic 8-person curry meal |
| 17:51.51 | wethrin | Did you have a good time? |
| 17:52.22 | Leeds | yes |
| 17:52.43 | wethrin | that's the important thing |
| 17:52.47 | Leeds | yes |
| 17:54.48 | Leeds | then 4 of us - me, Jasmine and two other girls - went to the CNY fair/market thing... |
| 17:55.01 | wethrin | How was that? |
| 17:55.11 | Leeds | humid... but fun |
| 17:56.37 | Leeds | she told me not to buy her a gift or flowers or anything... but given that I'm not *entirely* stupid... I got her a bar of Green & Black's 70% dark chocolate... trying to walk the line between light-hearted 'joke' gift and good chocolate ;-) |
| 17:57.25 | wethrin | Mmm.....chocolate |
| 17:57.46 | Leeds | then she bought me a very thoughtful give at the market... |
| 17:57.58 | wethrin | More tech? :) |
| 17:58.07 | Leeds | a loo roll printed with sudoku, complete with a pen and tiny answer roll :-) |
| 17:58.17 | bilarh | hehehe :D |
| 17:58.18 | wethrin | Haah! |
| 17:59.13 | Leeds | on the other hand... |
| 17:59.50 | Leeds | when I tried to grab her for a peck on the cheek - European friend-style - as we were splitting up at home time... |
| 17:59.58 | Leeds | rather than a handshake... |
| 18:00.02 | Leeds | she literally ran :-( |
| 18:00.10 | wethrin | Ooops |
| 18:01.55 | Leeds | on the gripping hand... one of her friends - an apparently permanently-single IT guy - has his birthday on 14/2, poor guy... after we sang, did the cake and so on... there was some slightly odd thing where someone was told to kiss him, and I was nominated... |
| 18:02.14 | Leeds | went for him - jokingly... he ran, as you would expect... then someone pointed out that maybe Jasmine should take his place... |
| 18:02.18 | wethrin | :-) |
| 18:02.27 | Leeds | and... |
| 18:03.04 | wethrin | ...... |
| 18:03.07 | Leeds | while we were waiting for a cab to go to the fair... one of her two friends was telling the other how we'd met - that we'd met at a party, and Jasmine had bugged her friend repeatedly for days afterwards to get my number so she could call me... |
| 18:03.35 | wethrin | ahh.....confusing situation! |
| 18:04.11 | Leeds | indeed |
| 18:04.29 | Leeds | I think the answer is to go with the flow, push very gently but continuously, and see where it goes |
| 18:04.33 | wethrin | indeed |
| 18:06.15 | rhowe | So that /last Leeds can be emailed to Jasmine |
| 18:06.16 | wethrin | ibot logs |
| 18:06.18 | ibot | apt/ibot/jbot/purl all log to http://ibot.rikers.org/<channelname>/ where channelname is html encoded ie: %23debian | lines that start with a space are not shown | some channels have stats at http://ibot.rikers.org/stats/<channelname>.html.gz, or updated "nightly" |
| 18:06.28 | Leeds | sounds like a platitude, but I am honestly enjoying the fact that there's potential |
