07:54.28morsingOh man... I have to do it
07:57.28morsingWhat a good (value) laptop to run Linux on?
08:03.11morsingLeeds?
08:23.37morsingMsleeping-tablets.comoo
08:23.45morsingHuh?!?!?
08:23.49morsingCrappy laptop
08:24.10morsingLeeds are you there?
08:31.15bilarh_anything from dell i would have thought was decent value and should run linux fine
08:32.06morsingSo if I buy a £400 Acer and instally Ubuntu, it will find everything, wireless, bluetooth, etc?
08:32.16morsingCentrino doesn't work with Linux
08:32.50bilarh_how is acer dell? :)
08:33.46bilarh_this aint half bad for the price, imo: http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/emea/topics/vistabundles/bsdbundles_uki?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&l=en&s=bsd&~section=N03153

10:46.32JosefAssadmorsing: You really do have an exclamation mark surplus, don't you? :)
10:48.04JosefAssadeh, evlution's search folders are buggy beyond the wildest belief
10:53.24boudiccasi think evolution is buggy as a whole,a nd i don't like their new gui for it either
10:58.11JosefAssadit crashes very frequently. Unfortunately, the featureset is compelling to me
10:58.25JosefAssadboudiccas: irssi. Just ask
10:58.41boudiccasi much prefer kontact and kmail
10:59.02boudiccasJosefAssad; but your version really amused me :)
10:59.03JosefAssadkmail ate my mail once. It was traumatising
10:59.11wethrinBut that's why you have backups
10:59.47boudiccashave you tried sylpheed-claws? Thats quite good but doesn't use the mbox format
10:59.49JosefAssadsure, but what is more worrying? Corrupted messages and having to fish out backups or crashes where you just restart the app?
10:59.59JosefAssadI migrated _from_ claws last evening actually
11:00.02wethrinI use mutt and Maildir/
11:00.25JosefAssadI used mutt also. But I have precious little time for gnarly configs anymore :\
11:00.41JosefAssadmutt + dovecot + imap and so on was lovely.
11:00.54wethrinmutt's not that bad to configure
11:01.01JosefAssad+ fetchmail etc.
11:01.31JosefAssadOh, not mutt. The devil's always in the details. Debugging mail sending, making sure mutt saved sent mails to the right place, etc.
11:02.07JosefAssadAnd being a suit, I really appreciate the evolution features of flag for followup and so on.
11:02.30JosefAssadAnd vfolders are a great way to keep from having to manage a lot of mbox files
11:02.32morsingBeer
11:02.51JosefAssadvfolders are also a great way to get pissed off by having to restart evolution, it turns out
11:03.59boudiccascome back kmail ... all is forgiven :)))))
11:03.59JosefAssadoh ffs... I hate working with ex-MS people :\
11:04.57boudiccasif you're referring to me, I've been using linux now for almost 3 years
11:05.33JosefAssadno, the people in our tech center in Seattle who are doing global direction for this open source project are all Redmond alumni
11:05.45boudiccasah, apologies then
11:06.00JosefAssadI'd prefer condolences
11:06.04boudiccaslol
11:07.29morsingboudiccas: Where's TwoSheds?
11:07.56z00daxso, what sort of freaked out weather is this ?
11:08.04z00daxmorsing: what did you do to the weather
11:08.05wethrinIt's just overcast here
11:08.12morsingIt's sunny here
11:08.18wethrinbully for you :-P
11:08.23morsingNo wait - that's the lamps
11:08.33morsingWe can't actually look outside here
11:09.40boudiccasmorsing; depends who TwoSheds is? :)
11:10.09boudiccasits sunny in Maidstone but snowing at Biggin Hill!
11:10.42z00daxit cant make up its mind here, its raining but sleeting in a snowing way too, and ifs bloody cold at just under 2 Deg
11:10.56wethrinmorsing: Why not?
11:11.08boudiccasi agree about the cold, its just 1'c here
11:12.16z00daxit actually feels colder inside the train than it did outside
11:12.44boudiccastime for the longjohns then :)
11:14.29z00daxtoo late, am on the train already
11:14.46JosefAssadmy fianee won't let me wear longjohns.
11:15.42boudiccaswear wooly tights then, almost as good as long johns
11:15.54morsingwethrin: I've only had one job ever where I could look outside
11:16.11boudiccasi used to wear longjohns when i went rock climbing
11:16.39wethrinmorsing: Get some windows!
11:17.13boudiccasits official, morsing needs windows but can't decide whether to get a good vista :)
11:17.14JosefAssadEh, I had a job where my office had a full view of the pyramids. For four years. Never want to see the godforsaken things again

14:39.05morsingNo - people in this country don't normally...
14:39.21morsingEverything will run on a big enough fuse is their motto
14:39.59wethrinThere's not much need for individuals.....company premises will often have it
14:40.12wethrinAnd the local electricity board should put it in if you ask them. And give them enough money
14:40.22wethrinAfter all, your home is now a business premises for Aixperts
14:40.27morsingwethrin: Yes there is. Cookers and ovens need 3-phase
14:40.39wethrinNo they don't
14:40.43wethrinThey're 32A single phase
14:40.49morsingIn Denmark you'd never be allowed to hook one up on a single phase
14:41.00morsingAnd they shouldn't be. It's insane!
14:41.36morsingIt's unsafe running more than 10A on a standard wire
14:43.33wethrinNo it's not
14:43.44wethrinAs long as the wire is heavy enough...
14:44.23morsingBut they never are, that's the problem. And running 3x16A on three phases is still a lot better
14:44.48wethrinThey generally are
14:45.08wethrinPhases tend to be balanced generally, as each neighbouring house will be on a different phase
14:46.00wethrinSo there tends to be about a 60A or 100A feed into each house
14:46.06morsingOk, well all house holds in DK has 3-phase coming in. Cookers and ovens are on all three phases and the rest of the house will have three seperate rings
14:47.11wethrinAs long as the phases balance...

20:53.57cpufreakahh henrik
20:54.05cpufreaknext week are you busy @ work?
20:54.28cpufreakI've been told I need to train you in some of the stuff i do
21:01.49halicpufreak: are you guys still recruiting?
21:02.00cpufreakI dunnno
21:02.04cpufreaki don't think I'm being replaced
21:02.10cpufreakas I'm irreplacable
21:04.43hali;)
21:05.11haliim probably looking for a smaller company again..
21:05.24haliwe went from 28 to 700 in 12 months :/
21:05.45haliim not on top of things any more... and we have to many morons in the organization
21:09.13clive-hThat's a lot of extra staff
21:10.34cpufreakhali: betfair have like 1500
21:13.19clive-hstaff or morons?
21:16.23boudiccascpufreak; is betfair recruiting? last time i asked you said 'yes' and wanted to see my CV [which i hadn't got uptodate] well, its now done
21:19.38cpufreakI dunno
21:19.41cpufreaki'm leaving
21:19.48cpufreakmy team is full at the minute
21:19.51cpufreakand they're not replacing me
21:19.57cpufreakbecause i'm irreplaceable ;)
21:22.59boudiccascpufreak; you forgot to mention your modesty :)
21:32.47boudiccasgods, its so quiet everywhere tonight
21:33.25antiphaseGo to the pub then
21:33.44boudiccasnot enough time left, going to bed at 2200
21:35.00boudiccasanyway, by the time i've got my slap on its time to take it off before bed :)
21:35.56antiphaseo_O
21:37.01cpufreakboudiccas: its what I was told
21:37.04cpufreaknot my words
21:37.18boudiccaslol
22:38.38halisilencio!
22:42.48wethrinyarr?
22:43.32trousers_hali: Welcome to club silencio? :)
22:45.28haliwe could start our own club silencio
22:48.16goibhniuhali: what are the rules?
22:48.57halinot sure, bring your own lube?
22:49.20halii can't even remember what relevence club silencio had in the movie
22:52.13trousers_Are there any good online guides for learning x86 assembly for Linux?
22:52.47trousers_hali: The lesbian went there at night, or something. It's been a whike since I last watched it, and I was younger :)
22:57.44wethrintrousers_: Unlikely. I wouldn't ue Linux if you wanted x86 assembly
22:57.48wethrin*use
23:01.48trousers_wethrin: Why not?
23:02.06antiphaseCompilers are often better than people at writing assembler
23:02.28antiphaseUnless you realy need to save space or time, it's not worth the effort
23:04.04trousers_I want to play around with some reverse engineering of sorts.
23:04.50halitrousers_: get some cool embedded hardware and play with that
23:06.39trousers_hali: I have some stuff, but x86 seems most useful.
23:07.28antiphaseI don't think it's the friendliest variant to learn on, probaly the most use these days though
23:08.48z00daxhello
23:08.59trousers_Evening z00dax.
23:09.04z00daxheya trousers_
23:09.09z00daxare you going to come down on Sat ?
23:10.17trousers_z00dax: Should do.
23:13.52wethrintrousers_: DOS is good if you want to learn assembly :)
23:14.37z00daxonly if you want to learn x86 assembly
23:14.44wethrinWell, yes
23:14.44z00daxotherwise use linux for everything else !
23:14.50trousers_What about ARM?
23:15.15z00daxpass.. never done it - I hear its not as anal as x86 stuff - but who knows
23:15.21z00daxpowerpc asm is cool :)
23:15.45z00daxwell, atleast you get a sane set of registers and a very well featured backend to work on
23:16.15trousers_I have a GP2X lying around, need to get all the gear back together :)
23:20.15z00daxmigth as well (ab)use it then
23:20.17z00daxmight
23:21.01wethrinSparc is mostly hateful
23:21.05wethrinMIPS is rather lovely
23:21.49z00daxI've looked at sparc v8 asm, was quite pedantic
23:21.57z00daxsilo!
23:22.12wethrin:)
23:22.17wethrinAssembler's always pedantic!
23:22.24z00daxtrue
23:22.32z00daxbut its hard to get a bootloader started in anything else
23:22.46wethrinTrue
23:22.56wethrinThat's why you write it in C, and let the compiler do the magic
23:23.01z00daxbeyond that you need to be very very speed / performance challenged to use asm for anything else
23:23.17wethrinOften an optimising compiler will come out better
23:23.46z00daxxorg chaps still do some of their tweaks in asm
23:24.01z00daxbut thankfully, they also include the non-tweaked code for people who dont use x86
23:24.23cpufreakwethrin: sparc assembler is far nicer than x86
23:25.21wethrinFrom the code I've seen it looks very brane-hurty to write
23:25.53z00daxso does anyone actually use Be ? and their adsl2 ?
23:26.07antiphaseo/
23:26.16z00daxany good ?
23:26.22antiphaseWorks for me
23:26.38z00daxi am really interested in the 1MB and 2.5MB U/l options
23:27.13z00daxalthough, i might first try the 1mb option to make sure i get decent speeds
23:27.23antiphaseIt may not be vanilla though, as it's handed off via a particular ISP which I may or may not work for. I don't know how it works fully
23:27.46z00daxantiphase: that didnt quite parse right, try again
23:28.32antiphaseI don't know exactly how they hand off to the Internet, whether via multiple ISPs who can resell it or if they have their own network as well
23:29.02z00daxbethere ? I thought they had their own LLU stuff in place ?
23:29.13z00daxsince no one else seems to be offering the same sort of speeds and network stuff
23:29.25antiphaseI have Be local loop, but a Claranet IP address
23:29.51z00daxnice
23:30.03cpufreakr
23:30.05cpufreakclarabe pwns
23:30.22cpufreakprobably ought to get it cancelled seeing as I'm expatting
23:30.33z00daxhumm
23:30.42wethrinYou're off out the country? Where to?
23:30.45z00daxok, and what sort of downtime am i looking at to migrate from plus.net to be/
23:30.47cpufreakholland \o/
23:30.52wethrinyay?
23:30.54z00daxcpufreak: no really. where
23:30.56cpufreakz00dax: is your plus.net llu?
23:30.56wethrinMore ISP work over there?
23:31.04cpufreakz00dax: leiden
23:31.12cpufreakwethrin: no, a small iptv startup
23:31.21wethrinCool! Good luck with that!
23:31.27cpufreakit should be good
23:31.31cpufreakyou might hear of it one day
23:31.48cpufreakwww.joost.com
23:31.49wethrinI rarely hear of things
23:31.57wethrinjoost - name's familiar from somewhere
23:32.02cpufreakthought so
23:32.03cpufreak:p
23:32.30wethrinStill can't quite place where, though
23:32.34z00daxisnt that the same bunch of guys who did skype ?
23:32.41z00daxI read about this in Wired was it ?
23:32.45cpufreakwell
23:32.49cpufreakthe founders are the same
23:33.19z00daxok
23:33.33cpufreakand they've provided the financial backing
23:33.37wethrinz00dax: Should I send a reminder email about the meeting tomorrow?
23:33.48cpufreakwhen is the meeting?
23:33.56wethrin1.30pm
23:33.58z00daxwethrin: the meeting is tomorrow ? i thought it was the day after
23:34.06cpufreaktomorrow?
23:34.07cpufreakor saturday
23:34.12cpufreakam in holland tomorrow, back tomorrow night
23:34.14wethrinMeeting's on Saturday
23:34.17cpufreakah
23:34.21wethrinShould I send a reminder email tomorrow
23:34.29cpufreakdepending on how work goes on saturday @betfair, I may or may not be able to make that
23:34.29z00daxoh yea, that would be cool
23:34.36cpufreaksend it to the social list too please
23:34.38wethrinEnglish-- # not precise
23:34.39cpufreakas I'm not on the main one
23:34.50wethrinAre you on the -announce list?
23:35.06cpufreakEnglish++ # innuendos
23:35.09cpufreaknope
23:35.15cpufreakjust bounce a copy to andy@bash.sh
23:35.16cpufreakplease :D
23:35.51cpufreakcba signign up to a list when i'm emmigrating
23:36.13wethrinMessages bounced to you
23:36.17wethrin(there's two of 'em)
23:36.22cpufreakdanke
23:36.35wethrinbitte
23:36.53cpufreakhrm, not David Harris as in ElectricElf?
23:36.54z00daxbtw, does anyone use an open source ETL ?
23:36.55cpufreakanother one I presume
23:37.17wethrincpufreak: No, as in Geeklawyer
23:37.21cpufreakok
23:37.48cpufreakI should probably have done more than just glance at the names
23:37.53cpufreakcheers - will try and turn up
23:38.01cpufreakanywya, bed now, flight in 6.5hrs
23:38.06wethrinnight!
23:38.19trousers_G'night cpufreak.
23:43.18z00daxnite
