05:47.34morsingping Leeds
05:52.52Leedspong
05:52.57Leedsjust got in
05:53.09morsingHey hey - it's Leeds!
05:53.16morsingHow are you? In where - work?
06:08.09morsingRichard?
06:15.27Leedshome
06:15.41morsingAhh... How Jasmine?
06:16.48LeedsI'm not talking to her at the moment
06:17.08morsingIs she talking to you? If so, that's very rude Richard!
06:18.59Leedsshe is talking to me, and I am blocking/ignoring her for a week or two
06:20.41morsingNice
06:21.49Leedshad a row with her last night, decided I've had enough of her for a bit
06:24.34morsingNice - Vicky's one holiday in Spain for a week
06:24.37Leedsfrankly, she's an idiot
06:24.44morsingHa ha :D
06:25.37Leedshave you spoken to Vicky yet?
06:26.39morsingNo - she's on holiday
06:27.05Leedsyou might want to get around to that 'voice communication' thing at some point...
06:27.30morsingYeah -
06:27.45morsingStill looking for something interesting to do on a first date
06:27.59morsingTake her to SantaPod?
06:28.35Leedswtf is santapod?
06:28.54Leedsand don't obsess over it - the important thing is that you're there with her, not what you do
06:29.03morsingLeeds: ?!?!?!??!!?!
06:29.17morsingLeeds: You're a philistine!!!!
06:29.47morsingLeeds: Well - me meeting someone for dinner means 2 hours of quiet-ness and no chance of meeting up again
06:29.54morsinghttp://www.santapod.com/
06:29.57Leedswhy does it mean that?
06:30.13morsingBecause I can't talk to people I haven't known for at least 6 months
06:30.28Leedsthen you're screwed - get over it
06:30.33morsingI know
06:30.40Leedsdo you have any particular reason to believe she might enjoy "the fastest and loudest motorsport on earth"?
06:30.56morsingYes - anyone would enjoy that
06:31.06Leedsoh, you are so very very screwed
06:31.32morsingDo you not know me by now Richard? You *know* I'm a quiet not very talkative person when I first meet people
06:31.43Leedsseriously, start with a drink, a coffee, a dinner
06:32.00Leedsdo *not* suggest that you meet up and go to a drag racing event out of town
06:32.02morsingOk, start with 11 drinks quickly, then dinner
06:32.06LeedsI cannot believe I just wrote that
06:32.28morsingIt's not going to help me though. I have nothing to talk to her about
06:33.09Leedsa) find something
06:33.15Leedsb) let her talk - become a listener
06:33.26Leedsc) talk *to each other* - have a conversation
06:34.06morsingPlease don't make it sound easy. I'm not 15 and this has been a life-long problem for me!
06:34.16Leedsit was a lifelong problem for me
06:35.14Leedsserious point - I now talk too much, and have to force myself to shut up and listen sometimes... let her talk
06:35.34morsingI still think something other than the dinner-kliche would be good. I.e. Do something *first*, then dinner.
06:36.03Leedsall you need is an excuse to spend some time together
06:36.07Leedsthat's the goal
06:37.01morsingWe don't need an excuse for that - we both want to meet up - doesn't really matter if it's to go shopping or paint her lounge...
06:37.37Leedspainting her lounge sounds like a much better idea than going to a drag race
06:40.00morsingOr dinner
06:40.02morsinghttp://www.morsing.cc/billed.php?STED=Volvo_240GLT
06:41.33Leedsyeah... don't show her that either
06:41.46morsingWhy not?
06:41.55morsingShe knows that already...
06:42.04Leedsoops
06:42.12Leeds"My other car is a crappy Volvo"
06:42.13morsingooops what?!??!
06:42.31morsingIt's not a crappy Volvo and she likes Volvo's as well.
06:42.41morsingNo point in even meeting up if she doesn't...
06:43.32morsingI was emailing with someone in May for a while and after she found out I had a Volvo she stopped responding. Which means it would never have worked out between us anyway...
06:45.13Leedssee, I would say that would suggest you're going to be single for a long long time - but then I've been single for a long long time, so my advice probably isn't worth much
06:45.26Leedson the other hand, I am at least capable of taking a lady out for dinner...
06:47.54morsingVicky said:
06:47.55morsingNothing wrong with volvos. My dad has had two that I can remember, both solid cars whcih go on forever. He had an accidnet in one (not his fault - a prat driving too fast down a hill and round a corner in icy conditions). The other car was totalled but dad had barely a dent in the front wing!!
06:48.21morsingLeeds: Which part exactly would suggest that?
06:48.47morsingI'm not even going to bother talking someone out for dinner who can't accept me because I drive a Volvo
06:48.53morsingThat's the way it is!
06:49.00morsingtaking
06:49.35Leedsif you care more about your car... if you pre-judge like that
06:50.38morsingI don't care more about my car - you're getting it completely wrong. A woman who only cares about what car I drive and not me, is an idiot and I'm not going to waste time on her because it's not ever going to work out car or not.
06:50.57morsingIt's called being superficial
06:51.02Leeds<morsing> It's not a crappy Volvo and she likes Volvo's as well.
06:51.02Leeds<morsing> No point in even meeting up if she doesn't...
06:51.13Leedsno point in meeting someone who doesn't like Volvos?
06:51.13morsingLeeds: You suck
06:54.30Leedsnot particularly, no
06:55.02Leedsnice, Doris is using Firefox :-)
06:55.11Leedsbecause choice of browser is much more important than choice of car...
07:00.44morsingWho pick an IRC nick "Hun" anyway... You just end up saying "Hey Hun" everytime she joins...
07:00.50morsings/pick/picks/
07:12.56Leedsoh, and she seems to agree with my favoured model of camera too
07:13.08morsingLeeds: Marry her
07:14.36morsingOk, breakfast time
07:16.11Leedswhat does Vicky do?
07:49.22morsingMedical secretary or so
07:50.09morsingAt the hospital
07:51.18Leedsah yes, you said
07:52.24morsingDid I?
07:54.34LeedsI believe so, yes
07:54.49morsingYou approve of that then?
07:55.12Leedsyes
08:09.47morsingLeeds: What's your name?
08:10.41LeedsYonah
08:10.56morsingNot Jonas?
08:11.16morsingThe guy with the whale?
08:11.34Leedsyes, the guy with the whale
08:14.23Leeds(actually, I'm serious about that - that is my name, and it does refer to the guy with the whale)
08:41.17morsingThe guy with the whale is called Jonas
08:43.05LeedsJonah in English, Yonah in Hebrew
08:55.29morsingJonas in Danish
08:57.37Leedsthe original story is written in Hebrew - I read it a couple of weeks ago
09:03.47morsingLeeds: You know how a laptop's battery status is read?
09:04.37morsingReason I'm asking is that I've upgraded to a higher capacity battery and I'm just wondering if the % and minutes remaining will still be accurate (not that it was before)
09:04.57*** join/#gllug aguaithefreak (n=aguaithe@host86-136-85-46.range86-136.btcentralplus.com)
09:05.02morsingaguaithefreak!
09:05.37aguaithefreakmorsing!
09:07.58Leedsthe % should come from the battery, the time remaining is usually calculated in software AFAIK
09:11.56morsingOk
09:12.38morsingCan I get ID data from the battery? I.e. brand and capacity?
09:13.52Leedsprobably
09:14.03Leedscapacity, very likely... brand, probably
09:17.25morsinghttp://www.zimmer.co.uk/ctl?template=PC&op=global&action=1&id=9154
09:17.29morsingHow do I do it?
09:24.46morsingYonah?
09:48.12morsing*gnfnff*
09:59.38morsingLeeds: Does this explain why I'm so happy:

10:06.22morsingLEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:06.29morsingAny soldering experts here?
10:13.56gregjwhat does 'go on, feel/fill your boots' mean ?
10:17.23morsinggregj: It means "Yes, just do it - I'm happy with it"
10:17.32morsing"Fill your boots"
10:17.37morsingIt's a northern thing
10:17.56morsinggregj: You any good at soldering?
10:18.48gregjis it, you're foreginer, I asked local folks
10:18.49gregj:P
10:18.53gregjmorsing: yes, I am, why
10:19.08morsing:(
10:19.22morsingI'm only a foreigner for another few months
10:19.42morsingDoes this look difficult:
10:19.42morsinghttp://www.vcoa.org/700-900-faq/ElectricalStarting.html#AlternatorGettingWeakRegulatorBrushReplacement
10:21.46gregjgood for you, I applied for a remote job, whihc would mean, I could go bakck to .pl
10:24.18morsing???!?!
10:24.47gregjmorsing: depends on how big are the connectors you have to solder to
10:24.56morsingSmall-ish
10:25.14morsingBut one of the guys says I need a 250W gun and I don't have that
10:25.30gregjif he said you need 250W gun, it is not that small
10:26.08gregjI have 75W one, transformer one. And it is enough to do small and medium size ones
10:27.24morsingThe wire is maybe 1mm in diameter
10:28.00morsingpolyunix!
10:28.01gregjthat would be enough
10:28.03morsingOk
10:28.28polyunixmorning all
10:28.47gregjclear the wire, clear the spot, solder them a bit, and than solder toughether
10:28.49gregjand it should be alright
10:28.55morsingOk
10:29.53morsingOh... Actually it's not wire, it's a small rod and it's not even .5mm thick
10:30.30gregjI see
10:31.35gregjbe carefull than not to bend it, or something
10:42.39antiphaseI'd use a gas torch to solder big lumps of copper like that
10:42.52antiphaseSoldering irons aren't really up to it without producing poor results
10:43.22gregjhe said the wire is smallis

11:57.29secretlondonI don't actually know what I'm looking at - and what's supposed to be there
11:57.35secretlondonyou mean the missing nobs?
11:59.32morsingsecretlondon: No - the spots
11:59.51morsingThey look like over-heated metal or something
12:00.10secretlondonI am guessing this is a car bit
12:00.23secretlondonI don't have a car and don't know how they work..
12:03.55morsingThanks

12:10.37morsingwethrin: :)
12:11.03morsingwethrin: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3909085.stm
12:11.10wethrinexplain?
12:11.41morsingwethrin: The insert on the main  sign says "Welcome to Europe's happiest town"!
12:12.04morsingMaybe that's why I'm so unhappy? Because I left?
12:12.12wethrindrink more tea!
12:12.15morsing:)
12:12.22morsingTea is vile
12:12.24wethrinahh :)
12:12.27wethrinRubbish!
12:13.17morsingwethrin: Sorry, but that place is the most miserable place in Europe. Leaving is the best thing I've ever done
12:13.26wethrinah :-)
12:13.28wethrinheh
12:14.03morsingwethrin: How are you today?
12:14.07wethrintired
12:15.24secretlondonI suspect morsing hasn't been to Bradford, that's easily the worst place in europe
12:15.31Leedssecretlondon: nonsense!
12:15.43wethrinI've been to Leeds/Bradford airport. Does that count?
12:15.46secretlondonLeeds: were you born there?
12:15.54wethrinAnd clearly you've never been to Middlesbrough
12:16.00Leedsthere's the film museum... the alhamba... good curry... and a nice road to Leeds so you can leave after going to the museum and having a curry
12:16.10Leedssecretlondon: no, strangely enough I was born in Leeds
12:16.11secretlondonLeeds: that's tourist stuff
12:16.20morsingsecretlondon: Eermmm... No
12:16.22wethrinCurry isn't tourist stuff!
12:16.35morsingsecretlondon: I don't mean worst - I mean miserable
12:16.49secretlondonLeeds: living in bradford is living amongst a swell of bnp sympathisers - we didn't eat curry as children as it was "paki stuff"
12:18.11LeedsMy dad has always done a lot of work with Pakistanis in Bradford
12:18.12morsingwethrin: Sorry I upset you earlier :(
12:18.27secretlondonI got involved in politics through the anl
12:18.49secretlondonmy family are still racist, small minded and working in call centres
12:19.04wethrinmorsing: when?
12:19.27morsing13:07 < wethrin> 4 minutes
12:19.27morsing13:07 < wethrin> 4 minutes, and you forgot

12:19.46xteddy:>
12:19.54wethrinsecretlondon: DO they read the Daily Mail?
12:20.06LeedsI went to one or two events with the anl - I generally wasn't there with them, but they were also there
12:20.15secretlondonwethrin: my father reads the telegraph, my brother just watches sky news
12:20.31wethrineh, the Torygraph's not that bad, really
12:20.35secretlondonI've not bene back since 1993
12:21.07wethrinTimes has gone downhill since Murdoch took over. And even more so since it went tabloid
12:21.35Leedssecretlondon: then I've been to Bradford a lot more recently than you anyway
12:21.56morsingDebian's dictionary don't know the word "Knackered"
12:21.59secretlondonyou have to live there and have family there to realise the awfulness
12:22.15secretlondonI don't think eg students ever really mix with the locals
12:22.38wethrinthat's true of a lot of places, though
12:22.40secretlondonthe guardian and the independent are beginning to piss me off with their stupid lifestyle features
12:23.09LeedsI'm not suggesting for a moment that it's a particularly nice place :-)  Just saying that there are one or two things which mean it probably isn't the worst place in Europe
12:23.18antiphaseDon't read hippy papers then :)
12:23.30wethrinGuardian's commentisfree really riles me. People writing about things they *really* don't know anything about. Specially if there's anything technology-related
12:23.39secretlondonthe indie has advertised anti-mobile phone mast talismans and encouraging people to buy houses in the north for investments,
12:23.54wethrinI thought house-buying was a Daily Mail special
12:24.05secretlondonwethrin: but the guardian has the "bad science" column which points out what crap they've bene publishing all week
12:24.19secretlondonno indie readers are encouraged to on one page
12:24.22wethrinWell, yes. But I can get that off the interweb. As I can do with the improbable.com stuff :)
12:24.50wethrinA few years ago the Grauniad certainly had very good jobs sections. I don't know what it's like now
12:25.09secretlondonI like the panic over HIPS which have apparently surpressed house prices as people are not rashly selling 4 bed houses (were they before? who are these people?)
12:25.21secretlondonthe guardian is still good for jobs
12:25.43secretlondonand pensioners campaigning against inheritance tax (when they live in council housing)
12:26.19secretlondonLeeds: probably. I admit I haven't lived everywhere ;)
12:26.25wethrinmany people aren't rashly selling any sort of houses :)
12:26.50secretlondonI read this stuff and wonder who the fuck these people are
12:27.01goibhniumorsing: Ringkobing is a great place ... I lived near there for a few months
12:27.53wethrinnot the principle in general, just the threshold
12:30.37secretlondonthe old ladies locally with their stickers against inheritance tax (from one of the tabloids) will never reach the threshold
12:31.07wethrinthat's likely to be true
12:31.26secretlondonthey've been co-opted into someone elses battle
12:31.56wethrinalthough.....are there still places in London that fall below the inheritance tax threshold?
12:33.41goibhniumorsing: sorry, I was confused ... I've only lived near Ringsted and Rudkobing
12:34.10boudiccasbeer is good for confusion
12:34.49secretlondonbeer is good generally

13:00.45boudiccasif you use snuff are you a /snuffler/??
13:01.39goibhniuan insufflator?
13:02.14boudiccasi thought that was something that helped you take snuff!!
13:02.47antiphaseBest off chucking it in the bin and buying 20 Bensons instead
13:03.00goibhniu"Formal etiquette dictates that women abstain from tobacco until at least fifty years of age."
13:03.01boudiccasits cheaper than cigarettes
13:03.07boudiccaslol

13:03.53boudiccastrue, but everyone deserves treats occasionaly
13:04.01Leedsand snuff is a treat?
13:04.07boudiccasto me yes
13:04.19boudiccasbuying it is anyway
13:04.42goibhniuit looks much cooler than smoking too
13:04.50Leedsmy grandfather takes it every now and again
13:04.56goibhniuand you can do it on airplanes
13:05.01boudiccasgoibhniu; true :)
13:05.21boudiccastheres still quite a few snuffers around

14:57.26morsing?!
14:57.41secretlondonI went to get a new phone at woolies - they only had pink ones in, so I went somewhere else
14:57.59secretlondonpink is far too stereotypically girly for me
14:58.00Leedsmy flatmate has been talking about getting a new laptop - a pink Dell
14:58.01morsingsecretlondon: When should I attempt to go to bed?
14:58.11morsingsecretlondon: There is a reason for it
14:58.29secretlondonpink used to be a boys colour apprently
14:58.38boudiccasmorsing; when you feel tired! but if your on nights, i always used to go to bed at about 1030
14:58.50boudiccasafter having a drink and a smoke or two
14:59.00morsingboudiccas: I have to be at work at 2am
14:59.01secretlondonso any "science" stories saying girl's brains are wired for pink are as bollocksy as you'd imagine
14:59.24boudiccasi would go to bed at about 1600 and get a few hours sleep until about 2100
14:59.43morsingHa ha :)  There's no way I can go to sleep at 1600
14:59.51boudiccasthat will give you time to potter around and have a meal and slowly wake up and be menatally alery ready for work
14:59.53secretlondonmy sleeping pattern is really screwed - but if you don't get some sleep before then you'll die later
15:00.14morsingI might be able to rest/sleep at around 2000

21:09.58DiscordianNow garlic I do like
21:10.28Armandsame, but not too much.
21:10.35Armandanti-social, much. :P
21:10.55DiscordianI'm single
21:11.41Armandlikewise, but it still ranks. :P
21:12.02DiscordianGood for youi
21:12.05Discordian-i
21:28.33secretlondonginger wine - it just looks lethal
21:29.10wethrinooh
21:29.14Discordiannever had that
21:30.05secretlondona woman bought a bottle of it in front of me in a shop so I thought I'd try some
21:30.23Armandworst.. idea.. ever!
21:30.32secretlondonhttp://www.stonesgingerwine.com/
21:30.45wethrinSome pubs serve it
21:30.47secretlondonit's brown and 13%
21:30.57Discordiannow badger beer
21:31.10DiscordianIt's beer and flavoured with ginger
21:31.16DiscordianThat works well
21:31.51DiscordianTescos stock it
21:33.20wethrinwhich? Badger Original?
21:33.21DiscordianMy favourite ales/beers are Hoegaarden, Summer Lightning and badgers
21:35.33wethrinI'm not aware of the badger beers being flavoured with ginger. I have had some beers that have had quite a lot of ginger in them. They're....quite distinctive
21:35.50DiscordianHmmm maybe I'm mistaken
21:36.12DiscordianI've had beer that was heavily ginger flavoured
21:36.15wethrinBeartown Brewery
21:36.20wethrinGinger Bear
21:36.41wethrinThat's a bit like drinking Christmas
21:37.34Discordianahhh
21:37.47DiscordianIt's a Badger Beers brew
21:37.51secretlondonwe should have an xmas meet with copious alcohol
21:37.55DiscordianThe name is Blandford Fly
21:38.00wethrinahhh
21:38.02Armandgnite all..
21:38.06wethrinnight Armand
21:38.11secretlondonlike the one the year before last that ended up in my flat at 5am
21:38.14Armand:)
21:38.15secretlondonmight armand
21:38.25Armandthat too. :D
21:38.34wethrinThat was a post-Lonix meet, wasn't it?
21:38.38secretlondonyep
21:38.47Discordianhttp://www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk/beers/badgerales/blandfordfly.asp
21:38.53wethrinEvilDave was bad and make me drink throughout the day
21:39.05secretlondonI remember, we'd been drinking the day before too
21:39.20wethrinAhha - that sounds interesting
21:39.31secretlondonand then you started at lunchtime, and then I rung you and russell that evening to find out where you were..
21:39.55secretlondonand you were already wasted
21:40.21DiscordianI'm sure there's a subtext to it being called GLLUG
21:40.25secretlondonyess
21:40.28wethrinIt's all Evil Dave's fault
21:40.52wethrinFeel free to organise a pissup :)
21:41.01secretlondonwe need to make sure that gllug/lonix get suitably gllugged this year
21:41.15secretlondonI shall, as long as others pay
21:41.27Discordianall the meets I ever went to wound up in pubs
21:41.38Discordianusually the City Pride
21:41.40wethrinAll Gllug meets end up in the pub
21:41.56wethrinCity Pride? I take it that's not the one around Westminster?
21:42.08DiscordianThe one in Docklands
21:42.10secretlondonwe tend to meet in pubs with decent beer
21:42.14Discordiannear south quay
21:42.24wethrinAhh, well. Bit far to go from W'min :)
21:42.28Discordianwhen we used to meet at GND
21:43.16secretlondonthat could easily coincide
21:43.29secretlondonand can't we do before new year?
21:43.40DiscordianThere's plenty of nice pubs near wmin.ac.uk
21:43.44secretlondonwethrin: you gonna be dahn sarf this year?
21:44.10wethrinI suspect there'll be a few people drinking around the 30th/31st. Possibly even in the Market Porter. There's the London Open Go Tournament at New Years
21:44.30wethrinsecretlondon: For a short while. I suspect I'll be coming back on the 21st, and leaving on the 6th
21:44.31Discordianat london bridge?
21:44.32secretlondonah - i think there was a geek from that at the LBW thingey
21:44.35wethrinAye
21:44.55secretlondonwethrin: well we must meet up for beer during that time frame
21:45.00wethrinindeed
21:45.06DiscordianI've never actually drunk in the market porter
21:45.11wethrinyou should
21:45.14wethrin'tis a nice pub
21:45.41DiscordianIt was always amusing to see people drinking at 8am as I was inward bound to work
21:45.59secretlondonit closed at like 10pm when we were there
21:46.05secretlondonwhich was unimpressive
21:46.26secretlondonand it was full, but then it was exmas
21:46.28Discordiani've drunk in the Doggets Cap and badge many times
21:46.38wethrin8am was probably lunchtime for the workers from the market
21:46.51Discordianand the one just beyond the tate modern
21:46.54DiscordianYes
21:46.59wethrinNot the Founders?
21:47.01wethrinThe Anchor?
21:47.05DiscordianI worked on Smithfield market
21:47.10Discordianas a student
21:47.13Discordiansame thing
21:47.21Discordian8am was about lunch
21:47.26DiscordianThe Founders
21:47.38secretlondonI went to new covent garden in the afternoon this year and we got loads of free veg..
21:47.42DiscordianThe anchor is just off Clink Street
21:47.45secretlondonand then cooked it all
21:47.56wethrinnice
21:48.07DiscordianAt Nice elms?
21:48.10secretlondonyep
21:48.25secretlondonit was full of people skipping/dumpster diving
21:48.30DiscordianI really must venture into Borough Market
21:48.33secretlondonwe got as much as we could carry
21:49.08DiscordianChapel Street market is like that after it closes, up in islington
21:55.13Discordiani'll come to the next meet/social
21:55.54secretlondoncool
21:56.24DiscordianThough you'll all hate me
21:57.10secretlondonnah
21:57.28Discordiani'm really annoying
21:57.33secretlondoneveryone is a geek at a gllug meet
21:59.02DiscordianLol
21:59.18morsing'morning
21:59.20DiscordianSome people probably know me of old anyway
21:59.32DiscordianMurb and Spudulike certainly do
21:59.44secretlondonmorning morsing
21:59.47wethrinmurb doesn't come to Gllug meetings any more
22:00.12wethrinnot since he moved to Germany
22:00.27DiscordianI think his being in Luxembourg or wherever might be a good reason
22:00.28morsingsecretlondon!
22:00.33morsingwethrin: You suck
22:00.38wethrinmorsing: Go to sleep
22:00.44morsing:(
22:00.47wethrinHe gave up the Luxembourg job years ago
22:01.01DiscordianI lose track
22:01.01secretlondonwork at 2am?
22:01.10morsingYes
22:01.36Discordianmaintenance window?
22:04.26morsingNo - Rugby World cup :(
22:04.35wethrinyou have a new job already?
22:04.40wethrinhave beer
22:04.41morsingwethrin: No...?
22:04.44wethrinRugby goes better with beer
22:04.49wethrinI thought you got sacked...
22:04.56morsingI did
22:05.09wethrin...
22:06.25morsingMmm... Geezer
22:07.05wethrinso....
22:07.07DiscordianI dislike team sports
22:07.22wethrinif you got sacked, and don't have another job, why're you on-call at 2a?
22:07.26secretlondoneveryone hates team sports - especially when we were children
22:07.31Discordianones where you can work on your personal best work better
22:07.46secretlondonwethrin: presumably he is working until he finishes
22:07.59wethrinthat can be dangerous
22:08.22secretlondonit can be if people decide to take revenge with the root password
22:08.41wethrinindeed
22:08.52secretlondonnothing like a sysadmin scorned
22:08.53wethrinOr even make legit changes without any form of documentation
22:09.13secretlondonBOFH revenge
22:09.31wethrinclue-by-four
22:09.44Discordianmake sysads login with nomal users
22:10.00DiscordianThen you have a trail
22:10.16wethrinnice policy. But a sysadmin scorned.......
22:10.27secretlondoncan delete the trial
22:10.27Discordianand something like tripwire
22:10.37DiscordianSure
22:10.50xotl2am? is aylesbury in its own timezone?
22:11.04wethrinlightweight
22:11.07secretlondonI agree
22:11.12wethrinxotl: Yes. It's trapped in the past.
22:11.16morsingwethrin: I'm not on-call but on-site
22:11.27DiscordianI'd favour disusering a sysadmin who's resigned
22:11.37morsingwethrin: I didn't get sacked they're just not renewing my contract next month
22:11.40Discordianand making them document stuff
22:11.42wethrinahh
22:11.52xotloh ok so its 2am yesterday in aylesbury
22:11.54morsingwethrin: Also, getting sacked doesn't mean being walked to the door
22:12.01wethrindepends on the circumstances of their resignation, really
22:12.03secretlondonout of practice
22:12.36DiscordianIndeed
22:12.39xotlsacked to me means fired
22:13.04wethrinyeah. Not renewing contract is different
22:13.06secretlondonon short term contracts a non-renewal of contract amounts to being fored
22:13.34secretlondonas it's easier to not renew than to go through the procedure of firing you
22:13.35xotlwethrin: yeah its being made redundant
22:13.39wethrinindeed
22:13.55xotlredundant and fired are two entirely different things
22:13.59wethrinmaybe. It could just be that the company's run out of work for the contractor to do
22:14.20xotlI don't know why people always blur the two
22:14.37secretlondonfor dramatic effect?
22:14.50Discordiani've been made redudant a few times
22:14.52xotlsecretlondon: you may well be right there
22:15.01DiscordianNever been fired
22:15.55xotlI agree that there can be some ambiguity with a contractor: ie if you want to fire him then it is essentially the same procedure since they are normally on no-notice contracts
22:17.02secretlondongood night all
22:17.05wethrinnight secretlondon
22:17.06morsingg'night
22:17.09DiscordianGood night
22:17.12xotlnight
22:17.20secretlondonzzz *thud*
22:17.26wethrinxotl: sure - but then the contractor should know - it'll depend on whether there's still work left to do or not
22:18.17DiscordianI resigned when there was no work left for me at my last contract
22:18.26xotlwethrin: yeah there is still a distinction because a fired contractor could not get a reference, which I imagine is the worst part of getting fired
22:19.17xotlDiscordian: if they were paying you to do no work then you may as well have milked it
22:19.45DiscordianErrr not my style sorry
22:19.48wethrinuse the time to learn new things
22:19.59DiscordianIt was annoying
22:20.04wethrinand it'll be some excuse that it could still benefit the company you're working for
22:20.14Discordianand their IT manager was an idiot
22:20.26Discordianand net access was crap
22:20.39wethrinmmm
22:21.25DiscordianI worked from home for 3 months
22:22.03DiscordianCos he couldn't get a Leased Line from one office to another fixed
22:22.27wethrinisn't that a case of phoning BT and shouting at them?
22:22.36DiscordianYes
22:22.43DiscordianIt wasn't my remit
22:23.01Discordianand he failed completely to get it fixed
22:23.42DiscordianI recall mentioning my approach would be to ask the BT Account manager on site
22:23.55Discordianand not let them leave to it was fixed
22:24.07Discordians/to/till
22:24.56xotlmorsing: how long have you got left on your contract?
22:37.58goibhniuxteddy how are you?
22:39.15goibhniuxteddy: keep an eye on morsing tonight
