14:17.03GingerDoggoibhniu: no; they're a pain to clean, and you'll get fed up using it after a few weeks; it will then languish in a cupboard for months before being used again. On the other hand it does make quite nice drinks.

15:40.42GingerDoggoibhniu: i'd be tempted; $wife likes the sound of a pasta maker
15:41.12GingerDog(She's hinted in the past that she'd like one; although I doubt it would get all that much use after the first week or two)
15:41.51goibhniuI actually have two :)
15:42.09GingerDogheh
15:42.11goibhniuit's great fun a few times ... but it takes a while
15:42.18goibhniuyou're welcome to one
15:47.03*** join/#gllug catalyst (n=catalyst@allegro/user/angelchild)
15:47.09GingerDogyes, i'm more worried about the cleaning up, which is the bit i do.
15:48.00goibhniuwell, it just has to stay dry really ... not too tricky actually, just rub off the flour
15:49.08boudiccasbeer
15:53.48boudiccasi read that at first as 'rub off the floor'!

18:14.11Ch0HagCan someone please look at today's userfriendly and tell me if it's hard to understand.
18:14.49Ch0HagI am speaking to a supposed gook who claims not to.
18:14.59Ch0HagGeek, but gook fits I suppose.
18:23.30goibhniuCh0Hag: about dell etc? I suspect you're friend is more of a rugby enthusiast
18:26.18Ch0HagHeh
18:26.49Ch0HagI'm confused. All through school he was a geek and he has a 'programming' job in some corporation somewhere which involves writing reports.
18:28.16Ch0HagHe's never shown signs before of being an idiot. Lacking in a dose of common, maybe, but not stupid.
18:30.46goibhniuwell, he could be one of "them" and still be a geek I suppose
18:31.21Ch0HagYeah I think that's it.
18:32.21goibhniuI guess if the world's electronic voting systems run use Access it must be good

19:03.40clive-hGood evening
19:03.45rhoweevenin'
19:03.52rhoweclive-h: I still haven't bought any RAM for my mail server
19:04.15rhoweclive-h: So you can have the alpha whenever, but if you want it with some RAM in it, you might have to wait a short while :)
19:04.20rhoweclive-h: I'm holding out for a decent ebay deal
19:04.54clive-hheh cool I can wait that's fine thank you
19:05.21clive-hBusy clearing a lot of the house so I'd rather wait if I may
19:05.45rhoweheh no problem
19:06.08rhowealpha is a bit of a pain - not many people are still using it, and support is starting to flag a bit
19:06.18rhoweshould  be good for at least another year or two though
19:06.41rhoweThe hardware is all PCish too, which helps.. PCI slots (64 bit, naturally :)_
19:06.43*** join/#gllug sabinef72 (n=sabinef7@ns.popipo.fr)
19:06.57clive-hWell I'd probably try to dual boot linux and VMS
19:07.27rhoweYeah, I guess VMS isn't about to drop alpha support :)

19:09.30rhoweSome amazing photography and visual effects
19:10.32clive-hI'm not a fan really of F1
19:11.07rhoweI quite like it - it's a bit dull, but easy to follow
19:11.26rhoweand you don't really need to pay attention, so you can have it on in the background
19:11.33rhoweWRC on ITV4 now
19:11.47clive-hLol, watching CSI in fact on five:us
19:12.09rhowehaha, well there isn't much else on five:us

20:33.45halii need a new financial software house around there
20:33.45z00daxhali: i thought lots of the media companies were actually doing funky unix stuff
20:33.59haliz00dax: perhaps they do, i thought it was mostly windows and macs..
20:34.09haliperhaps they do rendering and stuff on nix
20:34.49z00daxyea, most of them used to run irix and stuff - well the movies setup's - but now run linux mostly
20:34.59z00daxi suppose other media sorts are all windoze and mac's
20:36.05halisaw a lorry unloading a shitload of SGI boxes to some office in the city the other day.. pretty cool to see SGI stuff again
20:36.31clive-happle have a great prescence area
20:36.31z00daxhumm
20:36.32halii hope they can make a comeback in the parallel cluster market
20:36.42z00daxi didnt know sgi were allowed to sell stuff again
20:36.48z00daxor that might have been a US only thing
20:37.05halithey came out of chapter 11 about 6 months ago
20:37.16z00daxaha! I missed that memo :)
20:37.26halithey have some semi cool products

20:39.05*** join/#gllug sabinef72 (n=sabinef7@ns.popipo.fr)
20:41.25halimy conspiracy theorey goes like this; SGI has got too many US government contracts for them to let SGI go belly up. So they pulled some strings and Morgan Stanley put up the cash
20:42.16halimorgan stanley probably got some freebies from the us govt in return, probably dropped some court cases against them
