00:17.49 | wethrin | any regular GGllug meeting attendees? |
00:19.22 | rhowe | http://siksai.co.uk/~rhowe/img_1560-splashsplash.jpg |
00:19.57 | wethrin | rhowe! |
00:20.02 | wethrin | You're a good fellow as any! |
00:21.40 | wethrin | We appear to have an extra speaker for Gllug - would it be reasonable to send another message to the lists saying we've got an additional person? |
00:41.45 | rhowe | You mean to say there will be n+1 talks instead of n? |
00:42.02 | rhowe | (sorry, desktop was swapping like crazy and had to reset it) |
00:42.46 | wethrin | rhowe: Yes |
00:45.22 | rhowe | wethrin: Sounds reasonable to me |
00:45.32 | wethrin | Excellent |
00:45.33 | rhowe | Especially if it's a talk which is likely to rouse extra interest |
00:45.39 | wethrin | I suspect it might |
00:45.42 | rhowe | or it affects timing |
00:45.48 | wethrin | It's Steve McIntyre, who's currently Debian #2 |
00:45.56 | rhowe | what's the date? |
00:46.00 | wethrin | Next Saturday |
00:46.01 | wethrin | 24th |
00:46.06 | rhowe | I'm in Thailand |
00:46.13 | wethrin | fiend! |

01:13.47 | Leeds | morning rhowe :-) |
01:15.12 | rhowe | mornin' :) |
01:15.17 | rhowe | wethrin: She had a bath |
01:15.35 | wethrin | Without booking anything, it'd probably have to be the Green Man |
01:15.55 | rhowe | Green Man's definitely back open |
01:16.01 | rhowe | Walked past it not too long ago |
01:17.36 | wethrin | As long as they don't run out of beer :) |
01:17.50 | rhowe | heh |
01:18.06 | rhowe | There's a nice place called the Ship, but it won't fit many people |
01:18.13 | wethrin | I liked the pub we went to last time - the one just around the corner |
01:18.19 | wethrin | But that needed booking |
01:18.45 | wethrin | I suppose I could phone up and book, but that seems awfully organised, even for me |

12:24.27 | rhowe | Leeds: However, that arrives in Shenzhen :) |
12:24.40 | rhowe | Leeds: So I'll be finding out how to get from Shenzhen to HK soon after that |
12:24.42 | Leeds | oops, wrong, uh, political entity |
12:24.44 | Leeds | there are busses |
12:24.49 | rhowe | Yeah |
12:25.05 | rhowe | We're doing .hk -> Shenzhen on the way out, so I'll have done the trip once in reverse anyway |
12:26.16 | Leeds | anyway, so you'll be arriving in HK on the Tuesday evening... |
12:26.31 | Leeds | I should be working on Wednesday, but probably not Thursday or Friday |
12:26.40 | Leeds | oh, shit |
12:27.35 | Leeds | hmm... |
12:27.51 | Leeds | I'm going to - hopefully - be busy on Tuesday night, until relatively late |
12:28.23 | Leeds | and that week is passover... so I'm going to be rather limited in terms of eating out type stuff |
12:32.27 | rhowe | Oh well |
12:32.37 | rhowe | I'm sure I can entertain myself on Tuesday night |
12:32.46 | Leeds | is there anything you feel a particular need to do while you're here? |
12:33.13 | Leeds | people to see, places to go? |
12:33.33 | rhowe | Well there are definitely people to see, although whether they'll be too busy working, I dunno |
12:33.56 | Leeds | Thursday/Friday are public hols, so anyone in office/clerical-type work will probably be off |
12:34.05 | rhowe | oh cool |
12:34.12 | rhowe | That's pretty convenient :) |
12:34.25 | Leeds | Thursday is Ching Ming, Friday/Saturday/Monday are Easter... it's a 5-day weekend :-D |

12:44.32 | morsing | Expanding rapidly though |
12:44.38 | boudiccas | morsing; suggestion. put the year that you gained the qualification in by the relevant qualification. it helps to show how uptodate your qualifications are |
12:44.39 | morsing | 8.2 |
12:45.12 | morsing | boudiccas: Well, those are only the recent ones, older ones are far apart and outdated |
12:45.16 | morsing | rhowe: Thanks |
12:45.40 | morsing | boudiccas: All the ones on there were done since December |

13:31.26 | wethrin | Why're you doing that? |
13:31.26 | antiphase | Flush your swap file? |
13:31.39 | boudiccas | because if not it adversely affects the screen redrawing when i go to a new screen |
13:31.51 | wethrin | You've got other troubles.... |
13:32.15 | boudiccas | antiphase; yes. you flush a toilet to get rid of crap [literally] same reason i want to flush my swap file |

16:34.13 | clive-h | Not me , I'm a Fedora/RHEL/Centos person |
16:34.28 | goibhniu | morsing: about the octopus ... I run a couple of ubuntu boxes |
16:34.42 | morsing | I'm at the assign partitions part in the install but it keeps telling me I haven't assigned a / partition even though I have |
16:34.50 | morsing | Octopus? |
16:35.28 | goibhniu | morsing: drat ... I don't really know what happens there, it won't let you use existing partitions or something? |
16:36.08 | goibhniu | oh .. ok ... it thinks you haven't got an / |
16:36.30 | Leeds | morsing: you may - or may not - find #ubuntu a more productive place to ask |
