07:25.45 | serris | hi sabinef72 |
07:25.49 | sabinef72 | morning all |
07:26.13 | serris | how's it going? |
07:26.23 | sabinef72 | I'm ok and you ? |
07:26.44 | serris | Ok I guess. Someone broke into my house last night |
07:26.58 | sabinef72 | oh my god |
07:27.11 | sabinef72 | did he stole a lot of things ? |
07:27.16 | serris | Not really |
07:27.20 | serris | He was rather retarded |
07:27.34 | sabinef72 | lucky |
07:27.42 | sabinef72 | so you went to the police this morning ? |
07:27.44 | serris | Stole 2 bags with uhm my sons diapers and babyclothes in 'em, my wife's phone was in it, my wife's £700 digital SLR |
07:28.11 | serris | The only problem with the digital SLR is that it was 2 feet from her head while she was sleeping with the baby |
07:28.21 | serris | Oh and my booze got stollen |
07:28.29 | serris | Unopened bottle of whisky and a bottle of beer |
07:28.48 | sabinef72 | that's amazing |
07:28.50 | serris | Well it was a Newcastle Brown Ale |
07:28.54 | serris | : ( |
07:29.04 | serris | haha |
07:29.17 | serris | Yeah the police just left. Took them 2 hours to come out |
07:29.28 | bilarh | how did they break in? |
07:29.29 | serris | Oh and some of my loose change |
07:29.34 | serris | Back door was unlocked |
07:29.39 | bilarh | ah right |
07:29.44 | serris | But the window was open next to it cause of the house being way too hot |
07:29.49 | serris | so it would've been no effort to climb in |
07:29.59 | bilarh | you live in london? |
07:30.34 | serris | But the dumb thing is that we have a laptop, 2 LCDs, 1 CRT, 3 computers out on display, we have a TV just 2 feet from the door with a XBOX, a freeview box and an n64 |
07:30.52 | serris | yet he goes for a £5 pay as you go phone and a camera he'll probs make £20 if that down the local pub |
07:30.53 | bilarh | maybe they didnt' wanna hang around in case your wife woke up :-) |
07:30.55 | serris | And yes, around hounslow |
07:31.02 | bilarh | ah, sucks |
07:31.12 | serris | But they didn't take any of the xbox games, DVDs or anything like that. |
07:31.22 | serris | They took a phone without a charger and no credit |
07:31.34 | serris | There were 4 XBOX controllers on display too |
07:31.37 | serris | 6 other cameras |
07:31.56 | serris | He tried to use my phone charger as that was out on display to see if it worked with the phone but it didn't |
07:31.59 | serris | so he left it |
07:32.29 | serris | He left half the content of the bags in the room and my son's pants just outside the door. Didn't even close the door nor turn the light off. Left a kitchen cupboard door open |
07:33.04 | bilarh | hmm |
07:33.07 | serris | And the funny thing is, he only took the 10p coins from the change |
07:33.16 | bilarh | you have to remember that he was probably high on heroin or something :-) |
07:33.17 | serris | there were 2 cups filled wiht 1p and 2p coins, 5p coins and what not |
07:33.40 | serris | yep, which is why I'm happy he just took all that and left rather than do something to my wife who was asleep |
07:33.54 | serris | There was about a £1 all together in the two cups |
07:34.35 | serris | It's retarded cause he could've taken the DVDs that are all over and make more money on those as they're all legit and most of 'em are special editions than the camera it self |
07:34.43 | serris | Or the phone at that |
07:36.11 | serris | Now we're just waiting for the forensics team to come down here to see if they can find anything |
07:42.14 | bilarh | man, burglar suck :( |
07:42.49 | bilarh | good case for legalising must drugs, imo |
07:44.11 | serris | The problem won't go away. |
07:44.52 | bilarh | it might be alleviated :) |
07:45.13 | serris | alleviated? |
07:45.36 | bilarh | made less worse |
07:45.51 | serris | Ah right |

10:11.57 | wethrin | diego gentoo? :) |
10:16.00 | wethrin | Hm. Sounds like he wants Javascript |
10:30.07 | Ch0Hag | How can I persuade somebody to change from exim to postfix, when the only reason I can think of is that I don't want to have to learn a new mailer's configuration. |
10:34.40 | antiphase | Why would you want to? |
10:38.45 | Ch0Hag | Because I don't want to have to learn a new mailer's configuration. |
10:40.12 | Ch0Hag | Plus I prefer to use configuration files of a couble of hundred lines rather than a couple of thousand. |
10:42.38 | Ch0Hag | Although a basic postfix server is usually more like 10-20 lines. |
10:46.24 | antiphase | So is a basic Exim |
10:46.36 | antiphase | You just have to know what's required and what's extraneous |
10:47.12 | antiphase | The last horrifyingly complex Exim config I wrote was 330 lines |
10:47.28 | antiphase | which was more than enought to be able to do very bad things |

19:44.11 | Ch0Hag | I only need it for a tape drive. |
19:44.22 | Ch0Hag | Does it have an external connector? |
19:45.06 | hali | two i think, but im not sure if it support tape |
19:45.19 | Ch0Hag | Oh wait. Site says it doesn't work preporly under Linux. |
19:45.25 | hali | i'ts mini lvd |
19:45.31 | hali | and it works perfectly in linux |
19:45.40 | Ch0Hag | Oh LSI. |
19:45.45 | Ch0Hag | This site says Adaptec. |
19:45.48 | hali | i took it from a dell 1750 server running redhat 7 or something |
19:45.59 | Ch0Hag | Why do you think it doesn't support tape? |
19:46.11 | hali | i haven't tried it |
19:46.16 | Ch0Hag | Oh OK. |
19:46.20 | hali | and since it is a raid card |
19:47.58 | Ch0Hag | Hmm true. |
19:51.04 | Ch0Hag | Well there's one (non-raid) on ebay in 20 hours for £20. |
