| 09:56.59 | Ch0Hag | They used to be UKFSN's upstream and then left me hanging for two months without broadband while they had an argument with Jason. |
| 09:57.08 | goibhniu | ffs! |

| 09:58.06 | Ch0Hag | Even AOL are preferable to either of those. |
| 09:58.23 | goibhniu | hmm .. I wonder if aol could hook me up for a couple of weeks |
| 09:58.46 | murb | goibhniu: could you sign up for a wireless flat rate for whatever the weekly price is? |
| 09:59.08 | murb | or do they also have minimum contract lenghts? |
| 09:59.09 | goibhniu | murb: good idea ... I'll check that out |
| 09:59.17 | goibhniu | they probably do |
| 09:59.35 | murb | i think some of them will be glad for any money they can get. |

| 10:00.58 | goibhniu | it sucks though |
| 10:01.02 | murb | bribe a neighbour to open their wireless to you? |
| 10:01.19 | goibhniu | if I find an AP I'll try to hunt them down and ask if they can share |
| 10:03.10 | goibhniu | it reallys sucks that that's the only option ... I'll have a look at other wireless things though |

| 10:07.00 | jcook | murb: sweet |

| 10:07.07 | Ch0Hag | She should use mine and pay me something like £2 per month. |

| 10:07.44 | Ch0Hag | murb: Despite appearances to the cantrary, broadband is unlike water in that it is not essential for life. |
| 10:08.01 | Ch0Hag | Plus I don't like the idea of going to the well in my towel in order to get water for a bath. |
| 10:08.05 | murb | Ch0Hag: being able to work is essential to buy food which is essential for life. |

| 10:26.33 | wethrin | Will we be seeing you tomorrow? |
| 10:26.50 | rhowe | wethrin: Met up with the girl who made quite a contribution to the departure of my ex-fiancee :P |
| 10:27.01 | rhowe | wethrin: Perhaps - I'm moving next weekend, so I really ought to be preparing for that |
| 10:27.10 | wethrin | so should the wife be grateful or worried? :) |
| 10:27.25 | rhowe | So if you do see me, it'll be relatively briefly |
| 10:27.39 | rhowe | Good question :P |
| 10:27.39 | wethrin | heh |
| 10:31.53 | wethrin | So, my CPU fan on my P3 (slot) needs to be replaced. I guess Maplin would be a good option? |
| 10:32.05 | rhowe | wethrin: I can probably bring you one |
| 10:32.14 | rhowe | wethrin: Can't vouch for its age and reliability though |
| 10:32.24 | wethrin | As long as it's quiet :) |
| 10:32.28 | blight | wethrin: or computer faire ... or TCR ... which is less painful though ... |
| 10:32.39 | wethrin | computer fair won't be any good for this |
| 10:32.49 | rhowe | wethrin: What P3 do you have? |
| 10:32.49 | wethrin | They only seem to have new stuff |
| 10:32.54 | wethrin | rhowe: P3/450 |
| 10:33.01 | wethrin | Slot thingy |
| 10:33.09 | wethrin | original type |
| 10:33.20 | wethrin | before they decided that slots were silly |
| 10:34.28 | rhowe | How about I bring you a P3 500 which doesn't need a fan? |
| 10:34.33 | rhowe | It has a big heatsink |
| 10:34.40 | wethrin | If it fits in the slot, sure |
| 10:34.41 | Ch0Hag | I think I have a P3 that doesn't need a fan. |
| 10:35.10 | antiphase | I have one that doesn't need a fan, because it's not plugged in |
| 10:35.56 | rhowe | wethrin: This is a P3 500/512/100/2.0V S1 |
| 10:36.27 | wethrin | It should fit :) |
| 10:36.56 | wethrin | annoyingly there's no Maplin's in Durham, and I don't think our little computer shop sells small fans. |
| 10:37.10 | rhowe | Alright, well I guess I'll have to go to gllug tomorrow then |
| 10:37.31 | wethrin | hurrah! |
| 10:37.36 | wethrin | Lunch beforehand? |
| 10:42.55 | wethrin | gw280: You suck. You're not even going to be there tomorrow |
| 10:43.18 | gw280 | wethrin: a) my parents are coming up to cambridge, b) I hate you all, c) I'm poor. |
| 10:43.38 | wethrin | you've been working over the summer! |
| 10:43.41 | wethrin | Demand your payslip |
| 10:43.48 | gw280 | I'm still poor |
| 10:43.56 | wethrin | studentscum |
| 10:44.06 | gw280 | I spent all my money on my rifle |
| 10:44.07 | gw280 | so bog off |
| 10:44.11 | wethrin | that was silly |
| 10:44.19 | gw280 | no, it wasn't |
| 10:44.23 | wethrin | are you going to shoot anyone with it? |
| 10:44.31 | gw280 | no |
| 10:44.40 | wethrin | So pointless, then |
| 10:44.56 | wethrin | or will you hunt for animals to eat? |
| 10:45.45 | gw280 | my rifle's not allowed to be used for hunting purposes. |
| 10:46.06 | wethrin | well. So you can't shoot people, and you can't hunt. What's the point? Eh? |

| 11:04.50 | jcook | I think bt are the biggest slugs on the planet |
| 11:05.05 | goibhniu | not because BT are charging me £124.99 (they added the .99 just now) to flick a switch in the exchange |
| 11:05.22 | jcook | they did the same to me |
| 11:05.34 | jcook | claimed they had to send someone to actually plug someone in |

| 11:29.45 | antiphase | Because you are weird |
| 11:31.08 | Ch0Hag | ATI has decided that if the main card is used, the second one simply doesn't exist, and now fvwm thinks my caps lock key is only a ctrl key sometimes with no rhyme or reason. |
| 11:31.11 | Ch0Hag | Weirdness. |
| 11:32.15 | antiphase | Probably a Y2K problem; no-one has used fvwm since before then |
| 11:32.31 | Ch0Hag | Actually I'm more bothered about ATI. |
| 11:32.47 | Ch0Hag | FVWM I can deal with. At least it's a ctrl in the terms where it's needed. |
| 11:32.52 | goibhniu | why did you get ati cards? ... two of them even! |
| 11:33.01 | goibhniu | they have a stinking reputation |
| 11:33.15 | Ch0Hag | I got them years ago. |
| 11:33.23 | Ch0Hag | In fact the PCI card is ancient. |
| 11:33.38 | goibhniu | ah ... I guess you know all about their new drivers etc |
| 11:33.46 | goibhniu | apparently they work now |
| 11:34.16 | Ch0Hag | Hah! |
| 11:34.20 | goibhniu | or is that why they've stopped working? |
| 11:34.27 | Ch0Hag | Then why does only one screen work at a time_ |
| 11:34.30 | Ch0Hag | ? |
| 11:34.55 | Ch0Hag | Retards, that's what they are. |
| 11:34.58 | goibhniu | :( |
| 11:34.58 | Ch0Hag | Retards. |
| 11:35.19 | goibhniu | you could get a nice nvidia card for £15~£20 |
| 11:35.35 | Ch0Hag | The real problem is that nvidia are, by all accounts, equally evil. |
| 11:35.46 | antiphase | At least their evil cards work though |
| 11:35.56 | Ch0Hag | And my motherboard sports only PCIe x1 slots, so I'm stuck with AGP or PCI. |
| 11:36.02 | antiphase | I'm never going to use ATI again unless they do something special |
| 11:36.12 | Ch0Hag | Apparently PCIe is tha way to go these days. |
| 11:36.30 | antiphase | Rather. I'm not even sure you can still get new AGP stuff |
| 11:36.44 | goibhniu | even better .. you'll probably get a kick ass AGP card for £10 |
| 11:38.14 | Ch0Hag | Hmm I've just gone to see haw much RAM my gfx card has and it says: |

| 11:38.30 | Ch0Hag | Why would only half of it be accessible? |

| 12:34.54 | Ch0Hag | X is trying to be clever. |
| 12:35.00 | Ch0Hag | X is getting it utterly, utterly wrong. |
| 12:35.32 | antiphase | I wasn't aware it was self-aware. You probably have the wrong keyboard type in the config innit |
| 12:35.46 | Ch0Hag | It's the same thing it was last week. |
| 12:35.46 | antiphase | So blame the retards that put your shit distro together :) |

| 12:36.22 | Ch0Hag | I think even they are succumbing to the make-it-work-for-apple-users syndrome. |
| 12:36.23 | antiphase | Is it Xfree version 5 then? |
| 12:36.57 | Ch0Hag | What? |
| 12:37.07 | Ch0Hag | Oh. Yes. "Debian uses old software". |
| 12:37.11 | Ch0Hag | Hahaha. Never heard that one before. |

| 12:49.31 | bilarh | lock your daughters in, it's dick_turpin |
| 12:50.01 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; i don't know? i didn't know that you were worthy of one on your birthday, which is, i presume, today |
| 12:50.20 | boudiccas | so how old are you today then? |
| 12:50.22 | bilarh | dick_turpin: happy 102'nd ;-) |
| 12:50.44 | boudiccas | 21st again!? how many times have you been 21 now then? |
| 12:51.01 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Yep I'm now officially 18 and can drink, vote and kiss women and small sheep |
| 12:51.26 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; do what to small sheep? what you were telling me about yesterday? |
| 12:51.47 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Oops scrum that wrong channel |
| 12:52.13 | bilarh | "clipping around teh lug hole"... is that what you used to say back in the thirties? :) |
| 12:52.16 | boudiccas | scrum? isn't that a rugby football term? |
| 12:52.16 | dick_turpin | scrub |
| 12:52.33 | dick_turpin | SCRUB fat fingers :-P |
| 12:52.53 | boudiccas | they wear them in operating theatres you know, scrubs! |
| 12:53.29 | boudiccas | don't know why theyre called 'scrubs' but there some of the softest and most comfortable pyjamas i've everworn |
| 12:53.30 | dick_turpin | I've had hundreds of automated emails even one from the Ubuntu community |
| 12:53.33 | boudiccas | *ever worn |

| 12:54.31 | gw280 | nice bit: "Server side apps only. No, no, no, no, no. This is NOT good. It’s one thing to want to keep the proprietary system closed, but to present a device sealed in digital Araldite is a Bad Idea. An Ubuntu flavoured Linux for mobiles is in the works, and you don’t get more open source than that. Damn it, there’s Linux for the Palm available these days." |
| 12:54.41 | boudiccas | well you must be the first centarian that the ubuntu community has ever had, so its a very special occasion. i preesume mark shuttleworth is coming round to get his photo taken with you? |
| 12:54.52 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Back in 1982 the V neck was pretty low and the female nurses ect...... now they have round neckd or pin them up. killjoys |
| 12:55.59 | boudiccas | i see that my local hospital has moved over the trousers and tunics for the females, slightly similar to the ones used by the males |
| 12:56.26 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Look I've told you before I at least can have plastic surgery but theres no options open for you :-P |

| 12:56.55 | boudiccas | but i can't stand seeing ward nurses wandering around town in their uniforms. i think that its a hygiene risk |
| 12:57.17 | boudiccas | carrying bugs from the community back into the hopsital |
| 12:57.19 | bilarh | boudiccas: are you a nurse? |
| 12:57.24 | boudiccas | i used to be |
| 12:57.39 | bilarh | ah cool... |
| 12:57.48 | dick_turpin | bilarh: She still has the outfit ;-) |
| 12:57.50 | bilarh | dick, queue some nurse jokes |
| 12:57.54 | boudiccas | i was a staff nurse on a cancer ward for 6.5 yeras |
| 12:57.57 | bilarh | beat me to it :P |
| 12:57.58 | boudiccas | *years |
| 12:58.22 | jcook | mmmmmmmmmmm nurses |
| 12:58.22 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; it isn't an outfit, its a uniform |
| 12:59.02 | bilarh | hmm, i don't know... dick_turpin told me he bought a nurses outfit from ann summers yesterday |
| 12:59.31 | bilarh | serious question, what's the difference between an outfit and a uniform anyway? |
| 12:59.49 | boudiccas | bilarh; ah, that would be an /outfit/ then, playing on the males liking for a uniform and making it as scanty and revealing as possible |
| 12:59.54 | Ch0Hag | One is sexy? |
| 12:59.57 | dick_turpin | bilarh: They outfit comes with removable bits ;-) |
| 13:00.02 | dick_turpin | The |
| 13:00.11 | hali | did someone mention a nurses' outfit? *wakes up* :) |
| 13:00.53 | bilarh | i bought my boss a nurses outfit once |
| 13:01.02 | bilarh | he hung it in his office window for about two years |
| 13:01.11 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Is thet why you are out of work? |
| 13:01.19 | dick_turpin | that |
| 13:01.30 | boudiccas | bilarh; a uniform is protective clothing and provides a uniform look amongst a group of people with recognisable symbols of their rank |
| 13:01.32 | bilarh | nah, he was a good laugh most of the time :) |
| 13:01.39 | cpufreak | bilarh: you left your new job? |
| 13:01.48 | bilarh | cpufreak: nope, not yet... |
| 13:01.55 | bilarh | cpufreak: in fact, it's bloody excellent here :D |
| 13:01.58 | cpufreak | oh right. |

| 13:22.36 | goibhniu | hi cpufreak ... are you gonna be able to talk tomorrow? |
| 13:37.48 | cpufreak | I msg'd wethrin earlier. |
| 13:37.57 | cpufreak | 14:03 <cpufreak> I've been snowed under hence not on irc |
| 13:37.57 | cpufreak | 14:04 <cpufreak> as such not had time to get anything written/approved. |
| 13:38.06 | cpufreak | and as I said n the channel |
| 13:38.10 | cpufreak | 14:04 < cpufreak> not had any spare timein the last whilst |
| 13:38.10 | cpufreak | 14:04 < cpufreak> was in the office til 4am this morning working |
| 13:38.11 | cpufreak | 14:04 < cpufreak> back in again for 10am today |
| 13:38.46 | goibhniu | sounds like a no |
| 13:38.51 | goibhniu | that's a pity |
| 13:38.56 | cpufreak | 14:39 < cpufreak> 14:04 <cpufreak> as such not had time to get anything written/approved. |
| 13:39.04 | cpufreak | would kinda indicate that, yes. |
| 13:39.15 | goibhniu | how kind of you to keep everyone informed |
| 13:39.20 | cpufreak | fuck off. |
| 13:39.30 | cpufreak | as I stated I've been snowed under by work and as such not been on irc |
| 13:39.58 | cpufreak | your sarcasm is a /real/ incentive for me to make the effort another time. |
| 13:40.19 | cpufreak | whilst I would like to give a talk and have some interesting stuff to talk about, work comes first |
| 13:40.41 | cpufreak | seeing as they're who pay for me to live. |
| 13:41.25 | goibhniu | I just think it would have been nice to let wethrin know this a little earlier |
| 13:41.45 | goibhniu | he goes to a lot of effort to arrange this |
| 13:41.48 | cpufreak | I would have done so |
| 13:41.52 | cpufreak | if I had had a choice. |
| 13:42.28 | cpufreak | only reason I'm online right now, is because I'm waiting on someothers, and there'snothing I can do in the meantime |
| 13:43.12 | Ch0Hag | Well you can prepare your talk while you wait then. |
| 13:43.14 | cpufreak | I told him it'd be subject to time constraints when I offered in the first placed. |
| 13:43.43 | cpufreak | that wont work, as it'd need to be checked by PR, and then sent to the copywriters |
| 13:44.53 | Ch0Hag | Oh you have one of THOSE types of jobs. |
| 13:45.42 | cpufreak | last conversation I had with wethrin in here was: |
| 13:45.42 | cpufreak | 11:38 < wethrin> Any word from your boss as to what you can talk about, if you can talk about it? |
| 13:45.43 | cpufreak | 11:38 < cpufreak> i've not had time |
| 13:45.43 | cpufreak | 11:38 < cpufreak> only had a day and a hal in the office this week |
| 13:45.45 | goibhniu | cpufreak: fair enough, you did say it was depending on circumstances |
| 13:46.09 | goibhniu | it is a pity though |
| 13:46.20 | gregj | anyone can lend me 100-150 quid till end of the month please? |
| 13:47.01 | cpufreak | Ch0Hag: we're sitll pre-launch, so need to be careful what we say, to ensure we do't give the game away and stuff. |
| 13:47.09 | goibhniu | would it suck to show a video talk tomorrow? |
| 13:47.31 | cpufreak | goibhniu: yeh it sucks. I'd have also liked to have had some sleep this week |
| 13:47.36 | cpufreak | 4hrs/night isn't enough |
| 13:47.44 | gregj | tell me `bout it |
| 13:48.36 | Ch0Hag | Pre-launch what? |
| 13:50.18 | goibhniu | the death ray |
| 13:50.26 | Ch0Hag | Cool. |
| 13:50.59 | Ch0Hag | Why would you need more than one? |
| 13:51.07 | Ch0Hag | Or are they like the NetHack death ray? |
| 13:51.19 | goibhniu | in case someone else has 6,000,000 |
| 13:53.04 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: :-) |
| 13:56.50 | wethrin | So. Can anyone give a last-minute talk? |
| 13:58.32 | hali | hm |
| 13:58.45 | wethrin | hali? :) |
| 13:59.07 | hali | i can think of lots of things i can talk about, but nothing on short notice nor that would be very interesting for most nerds |
| 13:59.18 | wethrin | aye, that's the trouble |

| 14:04.47 | goibhniu | wethrin: would it suck to show a video talk from some recent conference or something like that? |
| 14:05.07 | wethrin | goibhniu: A little :) But could be done. Do you have a video? |
| 14:05.14 | goibhniu | I can find one |
| 14:05.33 | goibhniu | the room definitely has a sound system? |
| 14:05.36 | wethrin | ooh |
| 14:05.42 | wethrin | It has done in the past |
| 14:07.26 | goibhniu | well .. I'll have a look for a video as an emergency back-up ... but if anyone else does come out of the wood work then we can forget about it |
| 14:08.08 | wethrin | aye. I'm looking if anyone on london.pm wants to do it |
| 14:08.38 | wethrin | Just wondering if it's worth sending an announcement |
| 14:09.07 | goibhniu | there's probably a fun video about perl 6 somewhere |
| 14:09.16 | goibhniu | larry is very entertaining |
| 14:09.52 | wethrin | As I don't want to send one to say a talk's been cancelled, then yet another one to say something else is back on |
| 14:11.22 | wethrin | maybe I could just ask on the main gllug list, if someone wants to volunteer? |
| 14:11.29 | goibhniu | I guess you could just say that one has been cancelled, but the rest are going ahead and you're still looking for an emergency speaker |
| 14:11.55 | wethrin | as an announcement? |
| 14:12.02 | wethrin | and then another just asking for speakers? |
| 14:12.27 | goibhniu | or yeah ... maybe just ask for an extra speaker |
| 14:12.40 | goibhniu | brb |
| 14:17.04 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: You could ask my mate Barbie, he's a Perl Minger barbie@missbarbell.co.uk http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk/ |
| 14:17.36 | wethrin | where does he live? |
| 14:18.04 | z00dax | wethrin: hi |
| 14:18.10 | wethrin | ahh, z00dax! |
| 14:18.50 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Brum but he travels all over He might be down that way and up for it, if not book him for next time, tell him I mentioned him |
| 14:18.59 | wethrin | nod. Next time might be better |

| 16:56.06 | wethrin | yes |
| 16:56.12 | goibhniu | yeah, could I have your number ... to be sure |
| 16:56.13 | wethrin | Knoppix is useful to have around :) |
| 16:56.26 | murb | knoppix on usb stick++ |
| 16:59.13 | goibhniu | jason from ukfsn? |
| 16:59.29 | wethrin | yeah |
| 16:59.55 | goibhniu | cool |
| 17:00.30 | polyunix | goibhniu>: i wouldn't put it on my machine, but mates who are windows bounded would highly appreciate it. |
| 17:01.52 | goibhniu | polyunix: I've felt ubuntu lacked a lot of wizard type things that windows users will expect |
| 17:02.01 | goibhniu | mandriva has lots of that stuff |
| 17:02.09 | goibhniu | and kde in general I suppose |
| 17:02.32 | goibhniu | I assume mint is gnome by default |
| 17:04.37 | polyunix | wethrin>: i have no torx |
| 17:05.13 | polyunix | goibhniu>: yes gnome's default manager |
| 17:06.36 | polyunix | goibhniu>: the only 1 problem i had - wireless card losing connection on protected network. |
| 17:08.39 | wethrin | polyunix: I'll bring my set along, then |
| 17:08.46 | wethrin | If I remember :0 |
| 17:09.12 | polyunix | wethrin>: do you need some help there with anything? i can come a bit earlier |
| 17:09.33 | polyunix | i can move and lift things |
| 17:10.15 | wethrin | polyunix: Nah - there's nothing to move/lift |
| 17:10.27 | polyunix | wethrin>: what a life |
| 17:10.58 | wethrin | I know... |
| 17:11.14 | boudiccas | ~seen morsing |
| 17:11.17 | ibot | morsing <i=morsing@emil.morsing.cc> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 1d 4h 1m 44s ago, saying: 'People here are just so unbelievably unhelpful...'. |
| 17:12.29 | polyunix | wethrin: really. why do i do it? |
| 17:15.50 | goibhniu | polyunix: I have a set too ... I'll also try to remember to bring em |
| 17:16.14 | polyunix | goibhniu: thank you |
| 17:17.15 | polyunix | i will try to collect dead ibook from the shop in the morning. |
| 17:17.23 | wethrin | polyunix: I'm just curious |
| 17:17.31 | wethrin | Is it your IRC client set up to do it? |
| 17:17.38 | polyunix | no |
| 17:17.45 | polyunix | it's me |
| 17:18.00 | wethrin | carry on :) |
| 17:18.27 | polyunix | ok |
| 17:18.33 | polyunix | wethrin>: ! |
| 17:19.20 | polyunix | wethrin>: it looks a bit unusual, but useless. |
| 17:19.59 | rhowe | http://www.csun.edu/~cdg15757/health-medicine/memory-foam-mattress-story.html |
| 17:20.08 | wethrin | yeah - unusual, hence I was wondering |

| 19:16.40 | murb | really? |
| 19:16.47 | wethrin | Yup |
| 19:17.05 | murb | how are you dating it? |
| 19:17.10 | wethrin | Well, last week was Gllug's 10th |
| 19:17.13 | wethrin | Tomorrow's the meeting |
| 19:17.22 | wethrin | http://shorterlink.org/3139 |
| 19:17.29 | wethrin | 13th Sep. 1997 was the first meeting |
| 19:18.05 | murb | oh i was at the meeting, but are you sure it was really the first? |
| 19:18.14 | wethrin | apparently |
| 19:18.36 | wethrin | So it's claimed, etc. |
| 19:18.40 | wethrin | And with that, I'm off. |
| 20:53.10 | clive-h | Is the meet tomorrow still on? |
| 21:08.44 | goibhniu | yep |
| 21:09.04 | clive-h | okay |
| 21:09.06 | goibhniu | jason from the ukfsn is filling in |
| 21:09.12 | clive-h | ahh right |
| 21:09.22 | clive-h | what's jason talking about? |
| 21:09.36 | goibhniu | dunno :) |
| 21:10.03 | clive-h | Intrigueing |
| 21:10.14 | goibhniu | the mystery talk |
| 21:11.16 | clive-h | I'm very uninterested in the games one |
| 21:11.48 | goibhniu | oh ... I'm looking forward to that |
| 21:12.03 | clive-h | I'm not a gamer |
| 21:12.09 | goibhniu | are you thinking twice about going? |
| 21:12.32 | goibhniu | I'm not a gamer either ... but I'm curious |
| 21:12.37 | clive-h | I'll come along |
| 21:12.52 | goibhniu | I heard sierra are hiring lots of linux devs lately |
| 21:12.59 | goibhniu | they make half-life |
| 21:13.05 | clive-h | I'm a sysad |
| 21:13.07 | goibhniu | that's about all I know about gaming :) |
| 21:13.14 | clive-h | Not a developer |
| 21:13.28 | clive-h | i've some linux games |
| 21:13.46 | clive-h | but these days wine will run most windows stuff |
| 21:14.11 | goibhniu | true ... faster than vista too afaik |
| 21:14.43 | clive-h | I have Vista on this laptop |
| 21:14.52 | clive-h | It's deadly slow |
| 21:15.17 | clive-h | But it's there if I need it |
| 21:15.30 | clive-h | I normally use linux on all of my boxes |
| 21:15.45 | clive-h | except the suns and the mac |
| 21:16.00 | goibhniu | I've kept xp on this machine too |
| 21:16.19 | goibhniu | I was desperate to install IE7 on it once ... but I couldn't and gave up :) |
| 21:16.27 | goibhniu | wine 4tw! |
| 21:16.38 | clive-h | I've xp pro under vmware on this |
| 21:16.52 | clive-h | Ie7 sort of runs on linux |
| 21:17.47 | clive-h | IE6 works well |
| 21:18.07 | boudiccas | i've installed ie6 using wine-doors |
| 21:18.28 | clive-h | I used ies4linux |
| 21:18.35 | goibhniu | I heard wine-doors was nice |
| 21:18.47 | clive-h | I've no idea what wine-doors is |
| 21:18.57 | boudiccas | it is and its under constant development atm |
| 21:19.19 | goibhniu | it does the tweaking you'd otherwise need to do manually to get stuff to work with wine afaik |
| 21:19.22 | boudiccas | clive-h; its like yumex for wine |
| 21:20.17 | goibhniu | wow ... is it like a package manager? |
| 21:20.48 | clive-h | sounds like it |
| 21:21.09 | boudiccas | i'm not sure, its still under active development |
| 22:05.12 | clive-h | it's not in any of the F7 repos I ahve |
| 22:05.14 | clive-h | have |

| 22:55.42 | aguaithefreak | OK and there will be a ....classroom or something? |

| 22:56.42 | clive-h | and a lecture theatre |
| 22:57.13 | clive-h | you could easily walk from oxford circus |
| 22:58.21 | aguaithefreak | clive-h: thx |
