08:45.29JosefAssadright, so let me try again. 5th to 8th of June, anyone up for a run to the pub?

09:17.53bilarhman, my hands are bruised, and my arms are all swollen
09:18.04bilarhi can't even type any more
09:20.09clive-hHow come they're bruised ?
09:24.18bilarhtoo much kung fu
09:24.23bilarhi think i need to give it a rest until next week
09:24.25clive-hahhh
09:25.14bilarhhmm, i wonder if like hands stop bruising after a while?
09:25.25bilarhi mean, there can only be so many blood vessels to crush, right?
09:25.34clive-hI prefer kung po king prawns :-(
09:25.47bilarhlol
09:26.16clive-hpreferably in garlic and chilli sauce
09:26.27bilarhthat is nice though
09:26.50bilarhi've developed this fetish for the "salt and chilli" stuff the chinese takeaways do... e.g. salt and chilli squid, or prawns
09:26.53bilarheven ribs :-)
09:27.08clive-hahh not tried the salt and chilli thing
09:27.10bilarhs/this/a/
09:27.16bilarhit totally rocks :)
09:27.19bilarhimo, of course
09:27.42bilarhit's probably not overly healthy though, unfortunately... but never mind :)
09:27.54JosefAss1dbilarh: Ah, I'll do that. Thanks!
09:28.03clive-hwell yes all that salt would put me off
09:28.13bilarhjosefassid: no, it was zoodax who said, i just posted it again because i thought you got disconnected :)
09:28.44bilarhsalt is the devil... i've tried cutting down a bit, and it does seem to make me feel a bit better
09:28.57bilarhand salt retains water anyway, which makes me feel really bloated
09:29.06clive-hNew World in Covent Garden for a social would be a good venue
09:29.22clive-hExcellent Chinese restaurant
09:29.40haliNew World is alright, i prefer the Mayflower though
09:30.03halibut New World is probably better for a social, way more space
09:30.10clive-hNew World do very excellent chilli and garlic crabs
09:30.11bilarhclive: is that the one sort of in a court yard
09:30.28clive-hEnd of Gerrard Street yes
09:31.30bilarhmayflower is good too, i had their soft shell crab... it was fantastic (althoguh i was a tad intoxicated at the time, so they may actually have served me a toilet roll which i mistook for food)
09:31.30bilarhclive: yeah i've been there... i wasn't overly impressed at the time, but it was like four years ago
09:31.30clive-hI've taken parties of 25-30 people to New World
09:31.48clive-hWell mayflower sounds good
09:32.03clive-hI love spicy crab
09:32.03bilarhthis was just me and the wife... the food was nice, but the service was a bit crap... they were probably rushed off their feet at the time as it was lunch time on saturday
09:32.42bilarhthere's always mr wu, of course :P
09:33.00clive-hPossibly I suspect Saturday evenings are busier
09:33.13clive-hThere's always Won kei's
09:33.28clive-hBut you need a thick skin for that
09:33.50bilarhviet on frith street (or possibly greek street) used to be great also
09:34.00bilarhfantastic bong with fried pork patties, but they've gone down hill since they changed owners :(
09:34.07clive-hI've not been there
09:34.18bilarhi went there the other week and was thoroughly disappointed with both the food and service
09:34.23clive-hI like melati on great windmill street
09:34.26bilarhclive: don't go :)
09:34.40clive-hmelay cuisine
09:34.51clive-hmalay even
09:35.15bilarhi haven't really had that much malay cuisine actually... the only malay place i can remember going to is in camden
09:35.33bilarhit was really, really  nice, but the bill came in at like 130 quid for three people, which is a bit OTT for my liking :)
09:35.39clive-hOuch
09:35.53bilarhi'm a great fan of cheap and cheerful
09:36.02clive-hThat's as bad as the fat duck
09:36.17clive-h2* michelin place in Bray
09:36.24clive-hnear Maidenhead
09:36.34bilarhah, but 2* michelin will cost you a bomb any time
09:36.42bilarhi think at least, i've never been to one :)
09:36.47clive-hSure
09:37.02clive-hNor have I
09:37.15clive-hI looked at their 'tasting menu'
09:37.23clive-hIt's intriguing
09:37.27bilarhi'd love to go one day, but i can't stand poncy people and i have this image of those kind of places being full of poncy people :)
09:37.40clive-hlol
09:37.48clive-hI'm a geek
09:37.53bilarhyeah me too :P
09:38.03*** join/#gllug JosefAssad (n=jassad@81.10.39.54)
09:38.10clive-hI dress in leather jackets , t-shirts , jeans
09:38.19clive-hblack jeans though
09:38.35clive-hI get let into most London restaurants
09:38.55JosefAssadmoin
09:39.25clive-hI quite like Orso
09:39.49bilarhi've totally lost touch with restaurants since i moved to bromley
09:39.50clive-hBut they're quite spendy too
09:39.53bilarhnow it's like harvester ftw :)
09:40.15clive-hOddly enough I quite like harvesters
09:40.29bilarhso do i actually, it's usually alright :)
09:40.32clive-hThere's one near here
09:40.37bilarhmean lamb burgers
09:40.47halibilarh: except when you wear *shrug* hoodies! :)
09:40.52clive-hSalad, scampi and fries etc
09:42.02bilarhhali: it wasn't quite a hoodie was it... well, maybe it was, but i wasn't wearing the hood up :)
09:42.02clive-hI live quite near zoodax in LB Bexley
09:42.02bilarhhoodies are fantastic, i wish i had found out earlier about the merits of them :)
09:42.02bilarhbexley... sounds familiar... is that se?
09:42.02clive-hTis yes
09:42.05bilarhscampi's always good :)
09:42.15clive-hI used to work in Westmoreland Place
09:42.32clive-hOpposite Bromley South station
09:42.49bilarhaha, i live right behind westmoreland place :D
09:43.08bilarhthe churchhill building?
09:43.40clive-hI suspect where I worked has been pulled down
09:43.48clive-hI worked for ICL
09:43.53bilarhah
09:43.57bilarhit's RBS now...
09:44.04bilarhyou mean like across the road from bromley south?
09:44.08clive-hYes
09:44.10bilarhor to the left or right?
09:44.20bilarhok, yeah it's got that massive parking garage
09:44.21clive-hright across really
09:44.55clive-hThey were turning a shop into a Wetherspoon pub when I left
09:45.20bilarhah right.. yeah
09:45.32bilarhthey're doing alright there... it's always well busy
09:45.42bilarhwhich is annoying as i hear all the drunks leaving from the car park :)
09:46.08clive-hLol
09:46.08cpufreakhmm
09:46.39clive-hI'm told there's a pub in Bromley that does Belgian beer
09:46.47clive-hI never found it
09:47.15clive-hMostly I aimed to get there as early as possible
09:47.31clive-hand home by 7
09:48.24bilarhbromley's completely dead by 8
09:48.34bilarhit's suburbia
09:48.45clive-hThis is suburbia too
09:48.59clive-hIt's dead almost all the time
09:49.08clive-hUnless you're a chav
09:50.20bilarhhehe :-)
09:50.33bilarhbromley's not even got lots of chavs
09:50.33bilarhwell, sometimes
09:50.37clive-hWe have lots here
09:50.54clive-hBromley is slightly more upmarket
09:51.31bilarhyeah maybe
09:51.48bilarhlewisham and catford have lots of people all the time though
09:51.50clive-hCrayford is a small urban town
09:52.10clive-hNo M&S , no littlewoods
09:52.43clive-hannoyingly no KFC
09:53.50bilarhwell, we've got a kfc, but it closes at like 10 or something
09:54.04bilarhi always end up going to the one in catford... the catford kfc is really good as well
09:54.09bilarhmust be because they've got lots of customers
09:54.33bilarhand if you go to bromley kfc after like 9, they only have dry crusty pieces of chicken left
09:54.34clive-hI'd probably not want KFC that late
09:54.41bilarhlight weight ;)
09:54.46bilarhit's good for weird dreams :)
09:55.11clive-hOh look I eat doner kebabs for lunch (sober)
09:55.41clive-hwe do have kebab shops here
09:58.50*** join/#gllug SlayerXP (n=martin@gw-colt.fotango.com)
09:59.53bilarhdoner kebabs are excellent though...
10:00.06bilarhit's like meat, bread and salad... what could possibly go wrong?
10:00.29bilarhi prefer shish doners, though, but it's practically the same thing probably (minus the feet etc)
10:00.49clive-hI like doners
10:01.29clive-hLess sure about shish
10:02.43bilarhi think the doner meat is too salty usually
10:02.49clive-hThe pita and salad are healthy enough, the meat less so
10:02.50bilarhand it feels quite fatty sometimes too
10:03.02bilarhwell, meat in itself is probably not unhealthy, right?
10:03.03clive-hIt's always fatty
10:03.08bilarhit must be the crap in the meat :)
10:03.37clive-hChicken doner is probably healthier
10:06.31clive-hi used to have doners for lunch every friday at one point
10:12.26z00daxwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
10:12.46z00daxclive-h: where you depressed and trying to kill yourself ?
10:13.53clive-hErrr I actually like kebabs
10:15.13clive-hand waterloo has a most excellent kebab shop
10:17.46clive-hi mostly bought lunch from boots
10:17.59clive-hi like sushi and stuff
10:19.59bilarhi'm with clive, kebabs are ace
10:21.03clive-hMost all food groups except alcohol
10:21.19clive-hBut that can be remieded
10:23.54clive-hGah I was expectimg F7 to have hit the mirrors

16:21.58Leedshi...
16:26.34resudaedgoing to be a fun evening, am helping out my flatmate with a php project for uni
16:27.02resudaedbut it's only a 10 point module, so they havn't actually taught them anything useful
16:28.57resudaedis DHTML standard?
16:32.32antiphaseDoes the Pope shit in the woods?
16:33.26resudaedI meant a standard, because it's in the list of crap they teach maths students at sheffield hallam uni
16:34.11resudaedaccoring to w3c, "To most people DHTML means a combination of HTML, Style Sheets and JavaScript"
16:38.08boudiccasantiphase; no! bears do
16:38.59*** join/#gllug JosefAssad (n=jassad@62.135.30.138)
16:39.26resudaedanyway, the problem I have is I have to help someone write a php project, and I don't think they've been taught anythign useful
16:39.48resudaedf.ex: no databases
16:41.58resudaedhow do you create a photo album, forum, or calendar without either a database server, or a hacked up home made database of text files
16:43.56flips_and_railsyou can do a photo album based purely on reading directories where the images are, its processor heavy though
16:45.51z00daxdude, i thought you were the inside man
16:45.58z00daxis there a limit on the number of people who can join a shared screen ?
16:46.12z00daxugh, wrong window - ignore
16:46.45z00daxwhat! you dont run a complete mirror in your house!
16:46.52z00daxugh, again
16:47.31boudiccashe's got a excuse ... he's got a greenland the size of headache! :)
16:47.45z00daxyes
16:50.10resudaedflips_and_rails : processor isn't too much of an issue, so a possibility I suppose.  The only reason I'm not getting dbs involved is she's got to write a 2000 word report on that she's done, and I don't fancy teaching databases from scratch as well as html/css/php and javascript (no choice on the javascript)
16:50.22resudaeds/that/what
16:51.19resudaedam going to get pizza, be back later
17:06.31flips_and_railsresudaed, just recurse directories for file names using PHP and the display them using some javascript nonsense

18:10.39morsingwethrin: Is FreeBSD as desktop friendly as Debian?
18:10.40JosefAssadeh, 3 days in London next week. Job interview, mayhap 2
18:10.48morsingCan FreeBSD run on an IBM T40?
18:11.12JosefAssadmorsing: everything but the sound card worked out of the box on my lappy. And that only took a 5 minute google search. FreeBSD thatis
18:11.41morsingNice :)
18:11.45JosefAssadBloody hell. Alright, time to find an El Cheapo Hotel. (but not quite the Y)
18:11.51morsingAnd it can do anything as easily as Debian?
18:11.54JosefAssadmorsing: I was surprised, tell the truth
18:12.01wethrinmorsing: At least as friendly
18:12.08morsingAnd run Open Office?
18:12.18wethrinT40 being a Thinkpad?
18:12.23JosefAssadmorsing: Now comes the part where I look like a lamer. I ended up not using it. I just don't have the time to figure new tihngs out
18:12.24morsingYes
18:12.31wethrinJosefAssad: Look at Travelodge hotels
18:12.35wethrinOr Travel Inn
18:13.00wethrinI know there's one near Kings Cross
18:13.04wethrinThere's others around

19:40.18Ch0HagWho knows what about IPv6?
19:40.35wethrinGoogld!
19:40.38Ch0HagI figure it's about time I got it working [again].
19:40.41Ch0HagMaybe properly this time.
19:41.31wethrinIt'll never happen
19:42.50Ch0HagWhat? IPv6 or me getting it to work properly?
19:43.46wethrinIPv6
19:43.51wethrinGetting it to work properly
19:44.06Ch0HagOh it'll happen.
19:44.12Ch0HagThere's porn on it now. It has to happen.
19:44.38wethrinRight.
19:44.52morsingBeer
19:45.13Ch0HagIf they can get beer on it with the porn, ipv4'll be a thing of the past within wooks.
19:47.16Ch0Hagweeks
19:47.17Ch0HagFirst, however, I need the basics - ping across an ethernet switch with no router or firewall in the way.
19:47.52wethrinIPv6 is geared very much mjore towards autoconfiguration

20:24.14wethrinNot offhand
20:25.13z00daxwethrin: does'nt everyone auto configure these days ?
20:25.40z00daxif the only isp to offer ipv6 didnt cost an arm and a leg, I'd be on ipv6 to the world too!
20:25.50z00daxsupport I could use one of the gateways...
20:26.41morsingz00dax: I don't
20:27.18z00daxmorsing: given its only 7 years into this century, its sill worthwhile making your way into it!
20:30.17sabinef72hello
20:30.37z00daxsabinef72: hi
20:40.47morsingz00dax: Why?  Are we still talking about auto configure?
20:57.37wethrinz00dax: Blackcat doesn't cost that much
21:03.28z00daxwethrin: but poor service, and their b/w cap is too low for me
21:03.37z00daxI average 160 - 250 gb/month
21:03.44*** join/#gllug clive-h (n=ch@chills.demon.co.uk)
21:03.45wethrinI've not found them to have poor service
21:03.54wethrinI'm not limited
21:04.01wethrinI'm on 2Mbit, though
21:04.03z00daxhttp://www.blackcatnetworks.co.uk/services/adsl
21:04.43z00daxyeah, I moved to bonded 8megs a while back, am trying to see if I can convince benow to do something like that and will move to bonded 24meg ( and hope to get 17meg total )
21:05.01z00daxon bonded 8megs, i get a total of 11 at the moment
21:05.21wethrinAsk Jason nicely :)
21:05.24z00daxI have lots of packages and isos etc going up and down
21:05.47z00daxthere is always that, next time I see him might poke
21:07.22z00daxits going to be interesting to see how and what BT replaces their sdsl service with later this year
21:14.49clive-hI get 3 Mb on MaxADSL
21:15.00clive-hThough it's capped at 50Gb now
21:16.25z00daxclive-h: have you got your f7 ?
21:16.44clive-hNope not yet
21:18.06clive-hNot hit the mirrors yet
21:18.46z00daxget the torrent
21:19.02z00daxI did a koan import and that worked so it must be on some of the rsync mirrors - well the tree anyway
21:19.24z00daxlooks quite nice, so far - i am going to use it for another day and then go back to my proper install of centos
21:20.20clive-hHmmm I'll give it a go overnight
21:36.54clive-hIt'll be interesting to see how well Nouveau works
21:37.35clive-hI hate having to use the binary Nvidia one
21:38.43z00daxdoes it do 3d and opengl ?
21:39.09clive-hThe nvidia one?
21:39.15z00daxNouveau
21:39.35clive-hDunno never touched it before
21:41.30clive-hI run the nvidia one cos I need multi-head
21:41.30clive-hand on this box at least I run beryl
21:44.37cpufreakz00dax: you'd probably have more luck talking to easynet to do bonded ADSL2+
21:44.44clive-hETA for the torrent 1 day 6 hours
21:44.54cpufreakas they can still do ppp mutlikink, as they do PPPoA
21:45.56cpufreakBe do RoutedEthernet over ATM, no auth, no straightforward way of doing routed subnets to customers..
21:46.17clive-hI ought to phone my ISP , at least on 2Mb I wasn't capped
21:46.23cpufreakBe's way means you don't have the PPP overhead and stuff.
21:46.44cpufreakI've just ordered ADSL2+ here from tele2
21:46.49cpufreak19euro/month for 20Mb/s
21:47.05cpufreakincluding telephone line rental
21:47.16clive-hBlimey that's good
21:47.32cpufreakfree wireless router thingy too
21:47.41cpufreakit goes up to 29euro/month after 6 months or osmething
21:47.43clive-hI hate having to pay the line rental to BT
21:47.44cpufreakbut its still piss cheap
21:47.45cpufreakuncapped too
21:48.02cpufreakhttp://www.tele2.nl/shop/Internet-Bellen/index.htm
21:48.36clive-hI have my on wireless ap so a free one wouldn't be much incentive
21:48.53clive-hown
21:48.59cpufreakthere's a 'fair use policy'
21:49.22clive-hWell that's what Demon have
21:49.33clive-hIt turns out to be a cap of 50Gb
21:49.49clive-hAfter which they rate limit you to 12Kb
21:50.52cpufreakits a bit different in holland
21:51.24clive-h*128Kb
21:54.09z00daxcpufreak: can i run a cable over to your place :)
21:58.45z00daxalso, thanks for the tip - shall get in touch with easynet
22:05.12cpufreakI've still got adsl2+ to my flat in london

22:39.07clive-hThat was odd
23:06.53*** join/#gllug geospart (n=geospart@adsl-1-162-186.clt.bellsouth.net)
23:31.01resudaedunfortunatly on the ~£10 profit I can make a month, ups is slightly off the budget
23:31.33clive-hheh
23:33.08resudaedthere is a battery shop on this road, so ups is a future possibility, maybe even for the whole house :-)
23:33.32clive-hI can't recall the last power outage here
23:33.43clive-hMost be 7 years or so ago
23:33.54z00daxthere was one sooner
23:33.54clive-h*must
23:34.12resudaedit's the first one I've had since I moved to sheffield (just coming up on two years), but it was off for about 2 1/2 hours
23:34.13z00dax2004 i think, on a Saturday morning, power went out for about 11 - 12 minutes
23:34.26clive-hAhhh maybe
23:34.54z00daxI was not in the country, and my girlfriend who lived in Canterbury at the time drove all the way up to reset the adsl router so i could get back into my home network and email
23:35.14clive-hLol
23:35.40resudaedlooking at your previous conversation, can anyone recomend an adsl2 provider?
23:35.51resudaedbeen looking at bethere.co.uk
23:36.17z00daxclara are supposed to be good as well - i think they have some resellers who are non-hostile to residential users
23:42.10resudaedstill need to find another £700 before the start of july so that I can move 500 meters up the road, but I want adsl2 when I get there, not going back to the isp formally known as telewest
23:43.01resudaedI can't take the upstream anymore (128k), and for the cost of line rental I could be getting 20+MBit/1.3MBit
23:43.15resudaedstill a bad ration, but usable upstream
23:44.31z00daxyeah i am looking to move to adsl2 only for that reason, to get the higher upload rates
23:44.43z00daxburning stuff to dvd's and going to the DC every weekend just does not work anymore
23:46.02clive-hCourier the DVDs to the DC? get the 'intelligent hands' to put em in drives?
23:46.08resudaedI also have to content with bit torrent users, and there is no room for upstream on 2048/128.  The 128 almost all used on tcp overhead
23:46.58resudaedanything above 4k up starts to damage the downstream
23:47.10clive-hI gave up on torrent for F7 incidentally
23:47.16z00daxoh ?
23:47.18clive-hftp is faster
23:47.23resudaed(4kB)
23:47.29z00daxdoes kernel.org have the isos as yet ?
23:47.49z00daxremember kernel.org is actually 2 machines, so if you cant get a slow on one - try the other
23:47.53clive-hI'm getting 213Kb/s from fedore.redhat.com
23:48.00z00daxoh cool!
23:48.34clive-hand it'll hit my cap less
23:48.56clive-htorrent was doing 6Kb/s
23:49.59z00daxouch
23:50.21z00daxis your cap only between some times though ? or is it 50 gigs for a month - anytime of day or night ?
23:50.38resudaedclive : was that out of ~255kB/s
23:50.48z00daxplus.net has a 100gig/month limit but only from 6pm to midnight, which is ok with me - i am almost never doing anything a that time
23:50.56clive-hThe cap is 50Gb of data
23:51.06clive-hIt's annoying
23:51.33clive-hI want to go back to 2Mb non MaxADSL which is uncapped
23:52.46resudaedeither of you two any good with php?
23:52.56resudaedwant to cap a string at a certain length
23:53.18clive-hI couldn't code php to save my life
23:53.35z00daxstrlen
23:53.44clive-hI'd guess substr might be what you need
23:53.44resudaedI did ages ago, and I am helping out a housemate with a project
23:53.50z00daxor substr
23:54.19resudaedsubstr, that was the one I couldn't remember
23:54.27z00daxhttp://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php
23:54.52resudaedyeah, I have the manual up, just couldn't find the function I wanted
23:55.55z00daxok, sleep-o-clock. be back later
