03:58.27Leedshmm... looks like a nice week ahead, weatherwise :-)
04:25.10morsingLeeds!
04:25.22Leedsyes...
04:39.45morsingSo Leeds... How are you?
04:40.05Leedsa little worried about work... busy socially, but lonely...
04:40.25morsingRight, but you won't talk to me?
04:40.32morsingWhat's wrong with work?
04:41.04Leedshttp://www.forbes.com/business/feeds/afx/2007/07/03/afx3880049.html
04:42.06morsingRight, well, do you like it there?
04:42.15morsingAnd why can't I come visit?
04:43.43morsingLeeds?
04:44.58morsing*sigh*
04:46.06LeedsI like having a paycheque and a visa
04:47.06Leedsyou're welcome to come to HK, but I can't put you up (for more than a couple of nights anyway), and I can't take time off work
04:48.35morsingRight, as long as you can guide me in the direction of accomodation and some activities to do during the day that would be fine :)
04:49.06Leedsand there's no point planning to be here more than a few days
04:50.03Leedsit's a much better stop-over destination than end-point
04:54.36morsingWhy?
04:55.20Leedsyou can do most of the standard tourist things in less than a week, even taking it easy
04:55.33Leedsyou can do the essentials in 2-3 days
04:56.40LeedsI did make a start on a tourist guide a few months ago
05:01.22morsing'k, well, when I holiday I like to just relax and chill out as well. Especially if you know a local it's easier
05:02.57Leedsthat's my point - HK isn't really a chill-out destination
05:37.27morsingHmm...
06:22.44morsingMm... fry-up
06:33.28morsingLeeds: What did you have for lunch?

12:57.37morsingAhh... It's still early :D
12:58.18JohnDoe666i think that site is dissing people.. what about people with a BMI below 18.5?
12:58.51morsing?
12:59.15morsingWhat about them?
12:59.24JohnDoe666there should also be a warning that a too low BMI is a risk to health

13:00.28morsingCh0Hag: What's your BMI?
13:00.40JohnDoe666it is not reflected in their categories.. they are just ignored
13:01.10Ch0HagUh... 6 and a half?
13:01.25morsing?
13:01.43morsingReally? You're a tad underweight then
13:02.27Ch0HagThat was another way of saying "I've no idea and why do you ask".
13:04.35Ch0HagIt seems a rather odd question to pounce upon somebody with.

20:32.52Ch0HagThis tape claims to be 36GB yet the test software has only written 31,844,214,721 bytes.
20:34.06antiphaseGB vs GiB?
20:35.14Ch0HagThat makes it 36bn vs. 38.5bn.
20:35.20Ch0HagA far cry from 31.8bn.
20:35.24antiphaseI was just coming to that conclusion
20:35.34antiphaseTry compresssing the stuff first ;)
20:35.46Ch0HagIt's /dev/urandom for the minute.
20:36.04antiphaseIs it supposed to be 36GB uncompressed?
20:36.07Ch0HagAnyway compression (of normal data) should bring it up to 50 or 60GB.
20:36.12clive-hTapes have bad sectors sometimes
20:36.26Ch0HagThe tapes and drives are brand new.
20:36.35Ch0HagAnd 4+GB is a *lot* of bad sectors.
20:36.48antiphaseAnd does it state 36GB of actual data, or just 36GB of stuff on the tape?
20:37.04Ch0HagThat's a point - it doesn't say.
