00:51.34keithlard_i had a bit of a mare setting up erc to auto-id to nickserv
00:57.28wethrinw00t!
00:57.39keithlard_seems to be workin' ok now :D
00:58.04keithlard_it's got to be one of the few irc clients that require you to be a lisp expert to configure it
00:58.35wethrinUsing a strange emacs one?
00:58.38keithlard_although that can't be quite true, since i managed it ;D
00:58.41keithlard_yeah, ERC
00:59.12keithlard_it's a bit like irssi only it's inside emacs
01:00.47wethrinMad person!
01:01.22keithlard_i don't know, i was reasonably sane before i started using emacs. now i've gone all wibble.
01:01.42wethrinBest get to Cornwall for some therapy!
01:02.23keithlard_were you at the puppet talk btw?
01:02.43wethrinNo - I was still stuck back up north
01:02.47wethrinHeard it went well, though
01:02.53keithlard_yeah really fun
01:03.02wethrinYou went for curry afterwards?
01:03.18keithlard_i lured six people from wordtracker to come along - and there's only about 12 of us anyway!
01:03.24wethrinyay!

01:03.49keithlard_trousers came, and rlivsey from #lrug
01:04.16keithlard_so when are we having another #gllug pubness?
01:04.17wethrinOne thing I've always found with doing that with Lonix was that it ended up pushing for time for me to get the last train back home
01:04.23wethrinThis coming Friday
01:04.26keithlard_yeah :(
01:04.31keithlard_ooh great! where?

01:04.40keithlard_i don't think i'm on the social list anymore
01:04.45wethrinOh. You should be!
01:04.59keithlard_i resigned from all the lists in disgust
01:05.06wethrinI was going to announce it there, as it's a standard passing-through-London Friday thing
01:05.10keithlard_i was just getting too much inbox bloat :D
01:05.13wethrinSocial's not too bad, normally

10:31.26*** join/#gllug flips_and_rails (n=stu@cv-kraken.cv.ic.ac.uk)
10:31.27Leedscould be anything from about 15k up to maybe double that, I'd think
10:31.42bilarhper month?
10:31.49Leedsyes
10:31.52bilarhibot convert 15000 HKD to GBP
10:31.55Leeds1k
10:32.10bilarhwhat's HKD actually called? :)
10:32.11Leedsibot change 15000 hkd to gbp
10:32.15bilarhin ibot terms
10:32.16bilarhah :)
10:32.18Leedsconvert is for units, not currencies
10:32.33bilarhah ok
10:32.44Leedsibot convert 100 miles to km
10:32.51bilarhclever :)
10:32.57bilarhibot: clever bot
10:33.07Leedsgive him a botsnack
10:33.10bilarhibot: reboot server

10:33.52ibotbugger off, bilarh!
10:34.00bilarhexcellent :)
10:34.01Leedsremember that there'd be almost no income tax to pay on 15k
10:34.16bilarhwhen everyone's asleep and or ignoring me, i can now have meaningful conversations with ibot :)
10:34.24bilarhyeah i suppose that makes a difference
10:34.34bilarhbut then rent must be quite huge, no?
10:34.43bilarhwasn't it like 800 for a flat or somethign?
10:34.52bilarhi remember you telling me, but i can't remember the figure :)
10:35.14Leedsdepends... you can get a small 'local' place for maybe 5k+
10:35.41LeedsI think 15k is probably above average for locals
10:35.45Leedsor around average
10:36.19bilarhibot change 15000 hkd to sek
10:36.38bilarhhmm, that would almost be a living wage in sweden
10:36.39bilarhafter tax
10:37.22Leedsyou'd probably be paying no more than a few $100 a month in tax - say $500 as a round number
10:37.45bilarhoh right, that's not too bad actually :)
10:37.59bilarhdoes HK have hospitals and stuff? :)
10:38.27Leedsyes, of course... they're not free, but there's a nominal charge in government places
10:38.57Leeds$100 to see a doctor, or something - mainly to stop people abusing it
10:39.45bilarhhow is that possible?
10:39.51bilarhi mean if they only collect a pittance in tax
10:39.56bilarhhow do they pay for stuff like that?
10:40.08bilarhor is it just that britain (and other western nations) are really badly run?
10:40.29Leedsa couple of things, really...
10:40.34Leedswell, a few...
10:40.45Leedsa big one is that the defense budget here is a nice round $0
10:41.13Leedsthe government is genuinely much smaller, partly as a matter of policy, partly because there are simply less people to govern
10:41.32bilarhah, defence, yes...
10:41.37Leedsand the government gets a lot of money from other sources - particularly from land 'sales', actually long-term commercial leases
10:42.30sabinef72Leeds: http://sabinef72.thepink.fr/index.php?num_page=769 <--- here are pictures of the chinese new year
10:42.48halion the downside the defence budget is usually a break even business, bae in the uk is a massive employeer
10:43.07haliso it's not just gold and green forestest not to have an army
10:43.08bilarhhali: not if you buy stuff abroad it isn't
10:43.27halibilarh: no, but most governments buy most things local
10:43.41halibilarh: take sweden as an example... swedens' got a massive defence industry
10:43.42murbbilarh: you forget the kickbacks you receive in that case :-)
10:43.46bilarhno they don't, otherwise there wouldn't be weapons trade :)
10:43.49Leedshali: maybe in the economy as a whole... but firstly, HK isn't a manufacturing economy nowadays, and secondly we're talking about government spending, not the holistic thing
10:43.53halibilarh: and we sell a lot of stuff abroad as well, which brings money in to sweden
10:43.58halibilarh: take saab, bofors etc
10:44.06bilarhsaab is owned by GM nowadays
10:44.11halibilarh: is it?
10:44.19murbbilarh: only the car unit.
10:44.20halibilarh: not saab aircraft, aerospace etc
10:44.27murbnot the aerospace parts
10:44.36bilarhyeah but that's not defence stuff is it
10:44.38murblike volvo sold their cars division.
10:44.43bilarhwell, the aircraft stuff partly
10:44.46halibilarh: aerospace is not defence?
10:44.48murbbecause cars are not very profitable.
10:44.57haliaerospace developed and manufactur the JAS39
10:45.14Leedssabinef72: nice :-)
10:45.14*** join/#gllug goibhniu (n=cillian@grail1.oxfam.org.uk)
10:45.18bilarhhali: ah, but who actually paid for manufacturing and developing that?
10:45.22haliaircraft is doing more and more rnd work for the defence bits these days since they canceled all civilian crafts
10:45.35halibilarh: the swedish government payed for large bits of it...
10:45.46halibilarh: which provides jobs for thousands of people in sweden
10:46.16halinot just in saab, they have lots of subcontracts around the country
10:46.51bilarhso they should have just stuck them on the dole then and it would have been cheaper for everyone
10:47.25halibilarh: thats not very productive is it, saab is pretty self sustained these days after the socialists cut the defence budget
10:47.49bilarhand rightly so
10:47.57halibilarh: liberal whore!
10:48.09halibilarh: saab in lkpg does a lot of research for EU projects.. like materials and radar technologies
10:48.11bilarhwhy should the government hold a failing business under it's arms with massive spending
10:48.21bilarhwell, that's great isn't it :)
10:48.22goibhniuhali: murderer!
10:48.24halibilarh: because we don't want to speak russian?
10:48.31bilarhas long as I don't have to pay for it via my tax money
10:48.45halibilarh: the old soviet union is growing strong again.. they are infiltrating the EU as well
10:48.49bilarhoh come on, the russians can't even police their own people at the moment
10:48.53haliit's just a matter of time befor they strike back
10:49.00bilarh*whatever*
10:49.03halikilling million of swedish civilians
10:49.08halito begin with
10:49.19halithen going down the continent and over to the uk
10:49.39Leedshali: can I have some of that?
10:49.56bilarhleeds :)
10:50.10haliLeeds: you want the EU to be ruled by a soviet dictator?
10:50.22Leedsno, no... some of whatever it is you're smoking...
10:50.28haliwith nice little "work camps" they send people to
10:50.39haliok, im trolling heavily here
10:50.46bilarhyeah right :)
10:50.49*** mode/#gllug [+o Leeds] by ChanServ
10:50.55bilarhbe a man and stand up for your views :)
10:50.56halibut being able to defend oneself is pretty key to survivial
10:50.57LeedsTROLL!
10:50.58goibhniuhali: with weapons designed and funded by swedish tax payers ... suckers!!!
10:51.22haligoibhniu: we're not actually allowed to sell arms to anyone we think may use them :)
10:51.35Leedshali: not directly, I'd assume
10:51.59Leedsthe normal trick is to sell them to someone who then sells them onto Mr. Al-Terroristi
10:52.19haligoibhniu: swedish law says is quite gay there... we can only seel to nations screended by some bogus commite which determines that they will not use the weapons in any offensive actions... it's a "defence industry" :)
10:52.20goibhniue.g. the US
10:52.44Leedshali: it's a happy law?
10:52.45halii believe in the free market
10:52.57haliLeeds: yes, from the 60's... with flowers and happy music
10:53.06goibhniuhali ... just because abba was invented in sweden doesn't mean you have to kill the rest of us
10:53.22haligoibhniu: we did actually make an official appology for abba :)
10:53.46goibhniuhali: abba rock very much!
10:53.57bilarhi love abba
10:53.58halibesides, abba is way bigger here in the uk than they ever where in sweden
10:54.04goibhniuhali: ace of base on the other hand ... are just catchy
10:54.11bilarhah rubbish, abba were big in sweden as well
10:54.27bilarhace of base suck
10:54.36haliabba was big back in the 80's yes
10:54.38halinoone cares any more
10:54.40goibhniuhedningarna are the best (swedish?) band ever
10:54.59bilarhgoibhniu: ah, they were sort of abba time, weren't they?
10:55.01haliwhile here in the uk there are tv programs about abba every two weeks
10:55.10halinever heard of hedningarna :)
10:55.13bilarhthat's because british people are living in the past, on many levels
10:55.23goibhniubilarh: they're still chuggin away with their chainsaw powered folk music
10:55.33halilook in to 'hepstars', the male abba band members had a band before abba

11:18.43goibhniuwow! a US congressperson saw something on Democracy Now and raised it with the bushmeister
11:19.12bilarhwhat does that mean>
11:19.12bilarh?
11:22.47goibhniuwell I only every saw democracy now through democracyplayer ... it's a pretty independent news program ... 1 hr a day I think
11:23.01goibhniuI didn't think politicians would be watching it
11:23.43goibhniuthe news they report is a little different from cnn
11:23.59Leedsas long as it's not indymedia-type
11:24.06goibhniuI guess they have it on public tv over there
11:24.19goibhniuI've never seen much come out of indymedia
11:24.31goibhniuseems to be pretty adolescent what I've seen
11:24.55goibhniudemocracy now ... is very academic ... and low budget production
11:25.20goibhniuthey do get really good interviews ... there's a podcast too
11:26.39Leedspub quiz time
11:26.39goibhniuto me it's significant because it means that this type of independant show may result in Bush changing a law ... i.e. we are the media
11:26.43bilarhhmm
11:26.46bilarhwell, at the end of the day
11:26.56bilarhthe politicians ultimately want to stay in office, right
11:27.00bilarhbecause they're greedy bastards :)
11:27.11bilarhanyway, this makes them want to please the electorate
11:27.23bilarhbecause then they get voted back in
11:27.25goibhniubilarh: yeah ... democracy is shit

11:28.47bilarhi like your style... i'll candidate with the slogans
11:28.50bilarhi might change it a little
11:29.12bilarhhumous for compotte, maybe
11:29.18bilarhyes, that will be my slogan
11:29.57bilarhso anyway, if anyone remembers the xml problems i had
11:30.12bilarhit turns out i can getrid of comments and crap :)
11:30.27bilarhso my code got reduced to a couple of recursive functions to modify the tree
11:30.45bilarhi think it's only the second or third time i've written something useful recursively :)
11:30.49bilarhwell, maybe 5th
11:31.07bilarhi don't like trees much
11:31.39goibhniubilarh: trees like human compost

17:12.52Leedsokay, let me ask the gllug massive... on the Simpsons, Mr. Burns' first name?
17:14.36YoussefAssadwith or without asking google, Mr. Leeds?
17:15.01wethrinLeeds: C - possibly Charles
17:15.19wethrinBut it's a name he never uses
17:15.30Leedswithout asking Google - it was the deciding question in this evening's pub quiz
17:16.28Leedsone team put Charles, the other put Montgomery - Monty was given as the right answer, which resulted in a draw
17:16.37wethrinI didn't ask Google
17:16.44wethrinHis name is "C Montgomery Burns"
17:17.18wethrinI don't recall if his first name was ever given in any episode (although Charles is familiar, so it might have happened once)
17:17.21Leedsand the C stands for Charles
17:17.45Leedsmy team were the ones who put Charles...
17:17.59wethrinLeeds: Which episode was that revealed in?
17:18.04Leedsdon't know, offhand
17:18.10wethrinright
17:18.19wethrinBut Monty is certainly *not* his first name
17:18.40Leedsright, it's certainly something starting with C... even if it wasn't Charles, we should have won by one point
17:19.02Leedswe did win, but only on a tie-breaking drink-off
17:19.16wethrinComplain at the quiz organisers
17:19.39Leedswe did, loudly
17:20.18Leedsto be honest, it was a bit of a grudge match anyway - there'd been some slightly nasty trash talking online in the build-up to the quiz :-)

20:38.13Dick_Turpinclive-h,
20:40.20clive-hhi
20:43.34Dick_TurpinHi I was gonna ask you a question but I think I may have sorted it 2 sec
20:44.48clive-hok
20:46.12Dick_Turpinbum, I should know this, why will index.php not display but gives you the option to save or open with gedit?
20:47.06boudiccasA = Assess, P = Plan, I = Implement, and E = Evaluate
20:48.27Dick_Turpinboudiccas,  youre a lovley person but I'm not in the mood for riddles
20:49.05boudiccasIts no riddle. Its 'the nursing process'. What every nurse does when caring for their patients
20:49.28Dick_Turpinboudiccas, not the nurses I've known ;-)
20:49.40boudiccasAfter using it for several years it becomes instinctive
20:50.01boudiccasdepends on the context in which you knwo them :)
20:50.06boudiccas*know
20:51.36Dick_Turpinaarrrrgghhh Bloody Apache, Bloody Cacti, Bloody Suse, Bloody Linux
20:54.51clive-hoh dear
21:14.36wethrinDick's not put the appropriate handleers into Apache
21:15.45clive-hprobably
21:16.47wethrinSo it's just sending the php source file, rather than interpreting it
21:23.00clive-haye
21:23.16clive-hneeds to update httpd.conf
21:35.22gw280wethrin: YOU SUCK

22:23.11sabinef72you should choose one farest from the city
22:23.28sabinef72for example near my home, there is a nice hotel for only 60 euros by night
22:23.41sabinef72in the city of paris it's around 100-150 euros
