08:43.11niv_one_threecyber question, when do you remove a contact in your IM? I find myself monitoring ppl online status during the day
08:44.37JosefAssadonce you've had sex with them, they can safely be removed.
08:45.33niv_one_threeyes - this does make sense, yet , wouldnt they get a notification , and understand it
08:45.36niv_one_three?
08:46.17JosefAssadhm. I'm not sure that is the case. I don't use IM enough to know, but I don't think I've ever seen such a notification
08:46.23JosefAssadDepends on protocol also, I suppose
08:47.18niv_one_threeI am also a big fun of email, yet in Israel it mostly used for comedy. and ppltend to not take email seriosly
08:48.11JosefAssadhm.
08:48.42JosefAssadwell, you could conceivably block people before removing them, though there's the question of whether they get blocking notification also
08:48.47niv_one_threealso , I wish sms and email will be combinded, as to be more accesible
08:51.02niv_one_three(lunch time)
09:11.14antiphaseSend them a message telling them how much you hate them, and they'll block you, thus saving you the work

13:43.25wethrinCelebrate by organising a Gllug meeting
13:43.28wethrinmorsing: Oi!
13:43.41trousers_Now I have nothing much to do... Apart from getting a small ARM machine and hacking away at it :)
13:43.57wethrinGet an old Psion 5
13:44.39trousers_18.43MHz...
13:44.47wethrin5MX
13:44.55trousers_I wanted to help out with the Gentoo ARM project :P
13:45.07wethrinfool :)
13:45.11trousers_So presumably all cross compiling, otherwise it'll take a few years.
13:46.40trousers_wethrin: Well, I like Gentoo, I've got work experience with ARM for two weeks :D
13:47.07wethrinUp in Cambridge?
13:47.13trousers_Maidenhead.
13:47.17wethrinha
13:47.22trousers_?
13:47.39wethrinMaidenhead. Not the nicest place ever.
13:47.54trousers_Closer than Cambridge to me, I think.
13:48.12wethrinFairly quick train ride out of Paddington, at least
13:49.22trousers_Indeed.
13:49.58trousers_Then a 10 minute walk from the station.
13:51.25wethrinYes, but through Maidenhead
13:51.32wethrinThe town centre's not great
13:51.37wethrinSurrounding countryside is lovely
13:51.41trousers_I doubt it's too bad...
13:51.50wethrinDepends what you're used to :)
13:51.54wethrinIt's better than Slough, sure...
13:52.06trousers_Hmm.

14:11.37wethrinOoh
14:11.53wethrinsanelson: Got any other PDAs? :) I'm looking for one that will run with wireless and has a reasonable ssh client
14:15.33rhoweclive-h: Alpha ready when you are
14:15.53JosefAssadoddly, the thing I liked best about the XO was the integrated handle
14:16.09JosefAssadsugar interface still obviously had a LOT of work pending.
14:16.53JosefAssadall in all, felt like what a spectrum ZX would have looked like had the marque continued to crank out computers till 1997

14:21.48wethrinThen pour freshly drawn boiling water over the tea leaves
14:21.55wethrinIt is technically London
14:22.01niv_one_threegood
14:22.03wethrinAlthough the definition of 'greater' London is quite flexible
14:22.05niv_one_threedamn it!
14:22.35niv_one_threemust I use a pot to clasiffy it as a PROPPER cup-of-tea?
14:22.44trousers_Yes.
14:23.01niv_one_threedman!
14:23.06trousers_Brewing in the cup is just not the same.
14:23.17niv_one_threebut but but
14:23.29niv_one_threeerrrr....
14:23.34trousers_Bags are no substitute for leaves.
14:23.41wethrinBrewing in the cup is tolerable if you don't have a pot handy
14:24.34niv_one_threeif Niv can't taste the difference between pot and cup (cup was left in a micro running an extra min with bag inside)
