13:51.22boudiccaswelcome back dick_turpin
13:51.38boudiccasnice to see you, nice!!!
13:54.34dick_turpinboudiccas: Ha ha been busy getting stuf to fall over :-D
13:59.58dick_turpinhm wonder why my clock keeps changing time?
14:00.02boudiccasphysical stuff or computer stuff
14:00.49dick_turpinboudiccas: Website. Got GUI working on Arch install. finished time trials
14:01.38boudiccasah, so now you're blogging it all :) i commend you
14:01.50dick_turpinhttp://cannon-linux.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=115
14:02.35dick_turpinbut the HTML is crap something is putting <><><> in there
14:03.59boudiccasoh, yes. looks most odd
14:04.57dick_turpinI can really show you what is happening but its as if there is an extra cell above the heading (Which there isn't)
14:05.02dick_turpincant
14:05.49boudiccasi find it quite hard to read the individual time totals against that green backgrounds
14:06.34boudiccasbut, that could just be me
14:06.40dick_turpinboudiccas: Its all shit, I hate the presentation, I've really got the hump over it
14:06.46boudiccas[and no, i'mnot colour blind]
14:07.17boudiccasput it up and leave it then and then come back in a few days and redo it
14:08.36dick_turpinYeah the times are not added up right either, I just added them up in, um, 10 base? but its 60 seconds to a minute ain't it!
14:08.49boudiccasyes
14:09.16dick_turpinI just don't have the time for this stuff its taken me two weeks
14:10.22boudiccasi'd use a pencil and paer to work out the times and ensure that they added up properly
14:11.00dick_turpinI'm surrounded by bits of paper
14:12.40boudiccasi've just added up the first one and it adds up right. i'd be inclined to leave it then as they are decimal fractions of a second after all
14:13.22boudiccasif people are really bothered, which they won't be, then they can try replicating your expereiments and seeing their own figures
14:13.39boudiccasits a good quality piece of work and well done.
14:13.53dick_turpinAh I think the 1st one is OK but not the others, Now busy trying to figure out why openSUSE refuses to apply a patch the stupid thing says I need
14:13.55boudiccasdon't worry about the decimal points of a second or minute
14:14.37boudiccask, i'll try adding them up to see if i agree with your figures
14:15.58boudiccassecond one i make to be 94,818
14:17.01boudiccasmepis is correct
14:18.03boudiccasf8 i make 52.525
14:18.58boudiccasand arch to be correct
14:20.09dick_turpinright, logging in to change the values then
14:21.22boudiccascan you change the background of the totals too so that they stand out more, perhaps also doing them as BOLD
14:21.25boudiccas???
14:23.08dick_turpinNow its gone Ape shit (You wont see it yet) F8 cells have jumped to the right
14:24.02boudiccasf8 always was a difficlt child
14:24.32boudiccas*difficult
14:25.18boudiccasher birth was marred by her sibling, f6, being taken of her life support machine
14:26.51dick_turpinhit refresh and take another look
14:27.34boudiccasdick_turpin; yes, thats much better
14:27.43boudiccasand afr easier to read. thnak you
14:27.53boudiccasmy spelling is atrocious today
14:28.03boudiccas*far thank
14:28.38boudiccasso, F8 was the fastest to load then
14:29.21dick_turpinThats mental, in the editor the time cells for F8 are shunted to the right yet it displays OK?
14:30.22dick_turpinYeah that surprised me, I was bragging openSUSE was faster than ARchLinux
14:30.29dick_turpinArchlinux
14:30.59boudiccasdick_turpin; is it possible to align all the figures in the centre?? os is that too much for little gain???
14:32.03dick_turpinmaybe, looks like I might have fixed the <><><> ?
14:32.47boudiccasyes, the <> has dissappearred
14:33.35z00daxhumm call of Duty4 on the ps3 looks absolutely amazing
14:35.59boudiccasdick_turpin; its all fine tuning and presentation but it does make the whole thing look better
14:36.10dick_turpinz00dax: I must get that for X360 brother in law has just offered to bring it over for me to look at
14:40.13halix360 is an ibm server right?

20:39.27goibhniuI was thinking about the bible when I was making dinner, just a short while ago

20:41.50halithink*
20:42.51goibhniunot I ... and oddly not even after you said it
20:43.45goibhniuhow were the fish and chips?
20:44.01antiphaseFish is grim. Pie > fish
20:44.04haliquite good i must say, i quite *hate* batter in general
20:44.22halibut this was very thin crustt batter, and kick ass tartar sauce
20:44.40goibhniugood vinegar?
20:44.41halifrom the gastro pub "The princess" around old street
20:44.48goibhniuahh .. posh

20:45.49zmey_gOh- religious talks! visited Tutankhamen today.
20:48.07goibhniuany good?
20:49.29zmey_gi expected to see his majesty in person, but not.
20:49.51zmey_gyes i enjoyed it
20:51.05zmey_gsome of the artefacts were really interesting
20:55.05zmey_gNifertyti for example was really beautiful ended, you can see it even from her statue. but her head was not like human head! I heard rumours - she is allien
20:57.49zmey_gThey have simple explanation that this is family trait! joke, it can't be. All people i know that have such a head shape are people with special needs, not royalties.

21:04.31zmey_gOh and another thing. I upgraded Mint Celena to Daryna wich is Ubuntu 7.10 based
21:05.03goibhniuimpressive?
21:05.04zmey_gUpgrade was long but ok
21:05.15goibhniuF8 sounds cool
21:05.20zmey_git's not that stable yet
21:05.44zmey_gF8? what's that?

21:05.53zmey_gah
21:06.14zmey_gwhats good about it?
21:06.24goibhniue.g. it has some new sound thingy .. lets you set audio levels for each app separately
21:06.32goibhniucalled "pulse" I think?
21:06.53zmey_gwhat the use of this?
21:07.27goibhniue.g. some stoopid flash page in one of your tabs is making noise .. you can turn off sound for firefox but still listen to something else

21:10.07zmey_gno it's there
21:10.08goibhniubut ram for a live-cd is a problem
21:10.41goibhniudyne:bolic uses fluxbox too, which seems sensible
21:10.44goibhniuinteresting though
21:10.50goibhniuyou think cinelerra is on that one?
21:11.17goibhniuI just had a look at http://artistx.org/artistx_0.1_list_of_packages.txt

21:22.43goibhniuwith that live cd it's all set up so you can hand rendering tasks over to powua
21:22.45antiphaseNo ancient UFS support!
21:23.10DiscordianAnicent ufs?
21:23.15DiscordianAncient even
21:23.27antiphaseI want to mount an old FreeBSD partition
21:23.29halitried centos-extras?
21:24.16antiphaseI'm looking in repositories. I never understand why kernel modules don't all just come with the standard kernel, it's not like they take up much space
21:26.53zmey_ggoibhniu: amazing. the idea is old as the world we live in. but now you can use it, not SETI or folding@home
21:30.44goibhniuzmey_g: I've been wondering if there is a more open version of that
21:32.53zmey_gI have box with 1.8 Xeon Duo, and i really love the idea to use power of that beast on my laptop
21:33.29zmey_ggoibhniu: clustering is a way forward
21:36.01goibhniuI heard a podcast with an interview with some serious cluster person
21:36.50goibhniuhe was saying the trouble with getting people interested in it is that there are so few useful things the average person could do with it
21:37.08zmey_gagree
21:37.31goibhniualthough maybe nobody has written the right apps yet
21:38.18zmey_gsending an email or browsing pron? what do you need more as an average human?
21:39.34zmey_ggoibhniu: i think it's included in mac OS x 10.4 server by default
21:39.49goibhniupowua?
21:39.57goibhniuor pron?
21:40.02zmey_gno clustering
21:40.22goibhniuthat's just iBullshit I assume
21:40.24zmey_gpron is useful eXtras
21:40.36goibhniulinux owns the HPC market
21:41.01zmey_gwhat about FreeBSD than?
21:41.04haliibm owns the hpc market
21:41.17goibhniuI assume it's just the apps you run that counts
21:41.31haliwith it's custom os on bluegene
21:41.36zmey_geverybody owns something but me
21:43.01zmey_ghali: what you mean by custom OS?
21:43.50halizmey_g: the bluegene hpc nodes used in most of the fastest hpc systems in the world is a custom os, closed source written by ibm... i would guess it's got a shitload of bsd code though

23:55.57goibhniuapache licence
23:55.59z00daxi know they did some stuff with code.google.com
23:56.05z00daxbut that didnt build really diid it ?
23:56.14z00daxhave you tried to build it ?
23:56.18goibhniuoh .. this is the first I've heard of it
23:56.27goibhniuand I assume it has lots of osx junk in there
23:56.43z00daxyeah, it would / could
23:56.58z00daxbut still would be worth looking at I suppose
23:57.07z00daxbut give it a shot, let us know how you get along
23:57.12goibhniuhehe
23:57.18z00daxalso, might need to recreate all the app links
23:57.20goibhniuI wasn't even considering trying to build it
23:57.59z00daxdoes gnome-launch-box let you do applets ?
23:58.16goibhniulike .. add plugins to it?
23:58.26z00daxyea
23:58.34goibhniuwhen I looked at the source .. it was all set up for it
23:58.43goibhniuwith comments on how to add them etc
23:58.45z00daxlike, let me do some stuff from within it and have it pass some calls to the apps it calls
23:58.49z00daxoh cool
23:59.14goibhniuI don't understand why gnome-launch-box isn't more popular
23:59.23z00daxpeople dont know about it
23:59.25goibhniuit does what it does, extremely well
