10:05.48gregjs/stag/grain/
10:06.03gregjmf, where did I get that word from...
10:36.23Leedsmow is a heap of grain?
10:55.02gregj1.  The place in a barn where hay, grain, or other feed is stored.
10:55.02gregj2.  A stack of hay or other feed stored in a barn.
10:55.11gregjyou're right, my memory....
10:55.29gregjthing is, this word is hardly used by anyone I know :)
11:03.33clive-hIt's a common enough UK usage : to mow the lawn

13:36.11Ch0HagWithout going through miles of adapters.
13:48.51wethrinUnlikely. Just USB to DE9
13:49.09wethrinRJ45 connectors aren't a well defined standard
13:56.12morsingAnyone here have experience with ADSL on a Cisco 805?

14:18.16morsingJosefAssad: Do you have experience with ADSL on a Cisco 805?
14:18.47JosefAssadmorsing: entirely none, but I might know someone who does. Asterisk sitting in the middle somewhere and part of the problem?
14:19.18JosefAssadmorsing: just to lower your expectations of me in a general way, I am more management and less "get down and dirty with the systems"
14:19.34morsingRight
14:19.51morsingThe command "Not configure ADSL" didn't work

15:34.53boudiccasOn my C5 desktop I have a rogue/orphaned icon showing from when a dvd was opened in /media/hdg which does not now exist as the dvd has been ejected. How do i get rid of the rogue icon please?
15:41.50clive-hRight click on it. select Delete
15:42.42boudiccasit doesn't have that option
15:43.12clive-hErrk what window manager?
15:43.21boudiccaskde
15:43.57clive-hselect the icon by left-cliking on it once
15:44.02clive-hPress DEL
15:44.29boudiccasnothing happens
15:45.23boudiccasi've even tried dragging it into the trash can but it won't allow me to do it

15:47.32clive-hI've not used KDE in 7 years or so
15:48.27boudiccasthats why i describe it as 'rogue'
15:49.17clive-hI can't login into KDE sorry on this laptop to test it
15:49.28clive-hIt's not installed
15:49.39antiphaseIsn't it just going to go away next time you shut it down?
15:50.03clive-hWell presumably when you logout
15:50.14boudiccasi've got rid of it [i think] :) I used 'xkill' and clicked on that icon and effectively killed the desktop
15:50.34clive-hyou killed the wm I think not X

19:12.46wethrinLeeds: Aye
19:13.34Leedswhat do you think the chances are of meeting someone in the pub here who's from Novell/SuSE UK, seconded to HSBC here as a result of the Novell/MS deal?
19:14.36LeedsAnneC_: hi, you're new... I'm in Hong Kong :-)
19:15.06AnneC_Leeds, yep, I rarely use irc
19:16.11Leedsoh, well, welcome anyway
19:16.15halithat microsoft/hsbc deal is a serious annoyance
19:16.25AnneC_thanks :-)
19:16.37haliwe just finished migrating our hsbc systems to Redhat 3 and now we are back on squre one
19:16.47Leedswethrin: and the chances, futhermore, that said seconded Noveller is living in the serviced studio building I moved out of about 5 weeks ago?
19:17.40Leedshali: I do retail (recently), where, from my point of view at least, RH and Novell/SUSE/IBM are battling for market share - I'm not all that bothered who wins, really
19:20.43halii prefer that they fight microsoft, not team up with them
19:21.20haliand suse is generally quite annoying to use, and lack vendor support for lots of apps
