| 13:17.34 | Ch0Hag | Oh. |

| 13:22.45 | Ch0Hag | $your_computer_after_giving_me_cash |
| 13:22.47 | xotl | i think using aol might lose me some street cred |
| 13:23.00 | Ch0Hag | A touch, yes. |
| 13:23.11 | xotl | Ch0Hag: that rather defeats the point of a free email service |
| 13:23.39 | xotl | aol would be fine if their webmail bit wasnt retarded, and apparently not work in firefox |
| 13:25.05 | Ch0Hag | I know of none off the top of my head. |
| 13:25.09 | Ch0Hag | What about your ISP? |
| 13:25.11 | Ch0Hag | Or is your ISP AOL? |
| 13:26.18 | xotl | no my isp only have pop access, i want to try imap as it syncs up nicely |
| 13:30.14 | Ch0Hag | Well I know of none then. |
| 13:30.20 | Ch0Hag | That's the sort of thing I do myself. |
| 13:31.33 | xotl | np. out of interest, what do you use for the webmail interface? |
| 13:32.34 | Ch0Hag | I don't, personally. |
| 13:32.44 | Ch0Hag | I recently installed IMAP at a client where I used IMP. |
| 13:32.49 | Ch0Hag | They seem to like it. |
| 13:33.03 | xotl | imp is a web interface? |
| 13:33.19 | Ch0Hag | Yes. |
| 13:33.23 | Ch0Hag | Based on horde. |
| 13:34.00 | xotl | how did you decide on imp? did you evaluate several? |
| 13:34.25 | hali | i quite like roundcube |
| 13:34.25 | Ch0Hag | Nope. |
| 13:34.35 | Ch0Hag | I just new that squirrel, which I'd used previously, was slow. |
| 13:35.01 | hali | roundcube is a proper imap web client, sort of ajaxy |
| 13:35.14 | Ch0Hag | I've seen it. |
| 13:35.16 | xotl | i think i heard of roundcube |
| 13:35.32 | Ch0Hag | I don't know whether it's any good, though. |
| 13:35.35 | Ch0Hag | I know it's not emacs. |
| 13:36.03 | xotl | it looks quite smart on their website |

| 13:37.12 | Ch0Hag | This scsi disc I'm preparing for an ancient computer won't boot and I don't know if it's just the BIOS trying to be clever. |

| 13:37.55 | hali | so it hooks in to that 0x80 thingy |
| 13:38.58 | Ch0Hag | Da. |
| 13:39.10 | Ch0Hag | But here I have a PCI card, where there they'll have an old ISA one. |
| 13:39.21 | Ch0Hag | So this one is probably being too clever. |

| 15:23.47 | Leeds | nearly |
| 15:25.04 | Leeds | and it's less than 24 hours to the flight, so I can 'check in' online :-) |
| 15:26.56 | Ch0Hag | Wtf?? |
| 15:27.06 | Ch0Hag | They still SELL pkzip?? |
| 15:27.25 | xotl | what exactly is check-in? i thought it was just to check that you were actually at the airport |
| 15:27.49 | Ch0Hag | Yeah, except now you can check in before without actually being at the airport. |
| 15:27.56 | Leeds | it means you've confirmed your seat |
| 15:28.33 | xotl | but you could check in online and then not turn up, so how does the non-present confirmation work? |
| 15:28.38 | Leeds | you still need to deposit your bags somewhere, but you can confirm your seat and get your boarding pass |
| 15:28.42 | xotl | i mean how does it help the airline? |
| 15:28.58 | Leeds | you can check in in person then not go through customs/security, or not get on the plane, etc. |
| 15:29.14 | Leeds | also, HK has a very very good in-town check-in anyway |
| 15:29.40 | gregj | xotl: it is all designed to make us even more lazy |
| 15:30.01 | Leeds | I don't remember the last time I used a check-in desk at the airport in HK |
| 15:30.24 | xotl | gregj: well i remember not so long ago the check in was about 3 hours before the flilght and had tobe in person |
| 15:30.37 | xotl | a complete bore |
| 15:30.43 | Leeds | your bags travel on the train separately from you and get on the plane all by themselves |

| 15:31.01 | Leeds | wheels, I think |
| 15:31.04 | xotl | leeds: wouldnt that reduce security? |
| 15:31.08 | Ch0Hag | I think it helps the airline because they can say "Look! We understand teh Intarweb!" |
| 15:31.19 | xotl | sending bags separately |
| 15:31.26 | gregj | them pipes |
| 15:31.31 | Leeds | and my upgrade is confirmed :-D |
| 15:31.45 | xotl | you get to sit next to the pilot? |
| 15:31.48 | Leeds | xotl: it still goes through all the scanners |
| 15:31.50 | gregj | bussiness class ? |
| 15:32.19 | Leeds | premium economy |
| 15:32.19 | xotl | leeds: yeah but tieing the person to the baggage must be a better idea |
| 15:32.58 | gregj | Leeds: what's the difference ? |
| 15:33.24 | Leeds | gregj: bigger seats, mainly |
| 15:33.33 | Leeds | 2-3-2 on a 747 rather than 3-4-3 |
| 15:33.36 | xotl | premium economy you put you next to the exits for a quick escape |
| 15:33.52 | gregj | I was on it while flying to canada |
| 15:34.01 | gregj | it was nice |
| 15:34.19 | gregj | not a bussiness class, but not bad either |
| 15:34.30 | Leeds | this is the first time I've tried the print-your-own-boarding-card option... |
| 15:34.57 | xotl | alter the text so it says first class |
| 15:35.41 | Leeds | it's got a bar code on it :-( |
| 15:35.48 | Leeds | also, my printer is a bit buggered |
| 15:36.25 | xotl | just say that you printer got the bar code widths wrong, cos the driver doesnt work well under linux |
| 15:37.41 | Leeds | doesn't seem to reset properly after a job, so I need to manually reset each time |
| 15:42.42 | Leeds | also, could b that the colour cartridge is dead and/or dry |
