21:54.36 | hali | Hllo |
21:54.38 | hali | +e |
21:54.44 | hali | -beer |
22:00.59 | hali | isn't Emma one of the most beautiful names ever?? |
22:02.15 | catalyst | I always associate it with Essex girls /o\ |
22:02.39 | wethrin | beer! |
22:04.49 | hali | ugh, i despise the generall "essex type" |
22:05.43 | hali | one of the downsides of working in soho, one sees the difference between a wednesday and a friday :/ |
22:06.27 | hali | thank god its tuesday |
22:08.25 | catalyst | heh :) |
22:09.35 | hali | Cope: omg |
22:09.42 | hali | Cope: you know joel |
22:09.58 | hali | linkedin shows it's powers |
22:10.07 | hali | everyone actually knows everyone |
22:10.40 | clive-h | To some extent |
22:11.17 | hali | indeed |
22:12.13 | clive-h | The *ix world is very small really |
22:12.55 | hali | i would say the evil perl mongers world in this case :) |
22:13.12 | clive-h | I must go to a london.pm meet one day |
22:13.17 | catalyst | hmm, just out of interest, what sort of salaries do people earn? (just curious, I'm thinking of starting a business :)) |
22:13.26 | catalyst | s/people/you guys/ |
22:13.42 | catalyst | regextastic |
22:13.54 | clive-h | I'm looking for around 40K for a sysadmin role |
22:14.01 | hali | morsing: you're linked in right? |
22:14.18 | hali | i can't say im a fan over the london.pm stuff |
22:14.20 | clive-h | But I've been doing that for years and years |
22:14.28 | hali | all weird and mostly about smoking dope |
22:14.59 | clive-h | yeuww drugs |
22:15.11 | hali | i think a good unix/linux admin in london can make 40k+ easily these days |
22:15.23 | catalyst | clive-h: hrm, apparently £20K is fairly standard for graduates entering engineering industries |
22:15.24 | hali | even outside the finance industriy |
22:15.28 | hali | +spelling |
22:15.31 | clive-h | I'm 50 |
22:15.46 | hali | people think I'm 50 |
22:15.54 | catalyst | I'm 20 and crazy :) |
22:16.03 | clive-h | I've 26 years in IT |
22:16.05 | hali | usually because i rant about VMS and how SystemV is bad :) |
22:16.14 | clive-h | and about 15 in unix |
22:16.35 | hali | im 25 and got 13 years unix |
22:16.41 | hali | indirectly :) |
22:16.53 | hali | i grew up on a sun 3/60 workstation |
22:17.25 | clive-h | I didn't have a personal computer till I was 25 |
22:17.56 | hali | probably because there where no personal computers until then? :) |
22:18.01 | clive-h | Indeed |
22:18.25 | clive-h | I have a SS1 |
22:18.48 | clive-h | I can't bring myself to sell it or bin it |
22:19.17 | clive-h | But I'm unlikely to power it on again |
22:19.27 | hali | i moved from the 3/60 to an IPX, ss1 but in a cooler chassis |
22:19.36 | hali | doorstops own :) |
22:19.47 | clive-h | IPX was more SS2 than SS! |
22:19.50 | clive-h | SS1 |
22:19.55 | clive-h | I have one too |
22:20.04 | hali | yeah it was a bit faster |
22:20.45 | clive-h | My current sparcs are a U5,U10, and a U2 |
22:20.57 | hali | and had the cgsix :) |
22:22.18 | wethrin | I got rid of my IPX when it stopped working |
22:22.18 | wethrin | And my SS20 has stopped working too |
22:22.18 | hali | can't say much about the u5 or u20, but the u2 really kicked som butt |
22:22.18 | hali | some' |
22:22.41 | wethrin | So now I've got 3 U5s (of my own), a U60, U1, E4k |
22:22.41 | clive-h | My u2 has 1Gb RAM |
22:22.42 | hali | my penis is very long |
22:22.42 | wethrin | My E4k only has about 3.5GB |
22:23.48 | clive-h | I like the U10 it's handy |
22:24.11 | wethrin | Indeed. But the U5 sits nicely on a rack shelf |
22:24.16 | hali | u10's are alright if they got scsi |
22:24.26 | wethrin | Depends on the task |
22:24.26 | hali | the ide implementation on u5/10 is horrible |
22:24.36 | wethrin | Yes, so don't do anything disk-intensive, and they're fine |
22:24.48 | wethrin | One of my U5s is acting as a firewall and backup DNS server |
22:24.53 | wethrin | Doesn't need fast disk for that |
22:25.04 | wethrin | Using one as a database server would be silly :) |
22:25.24 | wethrin | Although ex-orkplace did use some U5s for test dbs |
22:26.36 | hali | i've seen oracle on sun x1's (u5 in 1U chassis) and i tell you, that was not fun :) |
22:26.57 | clive-h | Yeah that would be nasty |
22:27.24 | clive-h | I'm talking about home machines |
22:27.37 | hali | yeah, i wouldn't minde a u10 if i had the space |
22:27.41 | hali | -e |
22:28.22 | clive-h | Mostly I put linux on x86 boxes at home |
22:28.47 | hali | i got spoiled when i installed vmware server |
22:28.52 | hali | it's pretty sweet |
22:28.59 | clive-h | But I do have some ppc machines running OS X |
22:29.02 | hali | everything on one box |
22:29.32 | clive-h | and vax vms under simh |
22:29.54 | clive-h | and various IBM pses under hercules |
22:29.59 | clive-h | oses |
22:30.07 | hali | i tried simh but never got it working properly, it kept core dumping |
22:30.27 | clive-h | works fine here |
22:34.01 | clive-h | I'd like a copy of OpenSCL too |
22:34.25 | clive-h | I used to do ICL VME system management |
22:35.34 | hali | on 39's? :) |
22:35.39 | hali | those where the days :) |
22:35.43 | hali | i was about -5 years old :) |
22:35.52 | clive-h | 2900s then 3900s |
22:36.40 | clive-h | It was part of my job |
22:46.23 | wethrin | I never had a problem with simh - just compiled and ran |
22:47.16 | wethrin | I should set up my GigE Cisco switch at some point |
22:58.19 | gw280 | woot, agk_'s on facebook |
22:58.37 | wethrin | Really? |
22:58.41 | gw280 | yeah |

22:58.50 | wethrin | HAve you been hunting for him? |
