00:01.29DiscordianThat's rude
00:03.15gregjwell, kiss me shiney metal arse
00:03.51gregjjust an accident, I am here far longer than you (3 years now) - and this is the first time something like that is happening to me, so fuck off - ignore whatever you want, you ignorant.
00:06.36DiscordianYou have a potty mouth too it seems
00:08.09Discordiani didn't swear at you
00:12.37gregjI don't think what I did was rude, and constitutes an ignore - hence my verbal abuse of your - suppose to be ignoring me - person

09:46.31bilarhhali: up already :S
09:47.26halii usually get in to the office at 9-sharp now :)
09:47.37bilarhi thought you weren't back until next week?
09:48.20haliback this week
09:48.32bilarhoh ok
09:48.43bilarhmy tv thingy is sort of working now :)
09:48.55bilarhbut i really fancy a new graphics card and a new cpu fan
09:49.02bilarhand maybe a faster processor :)
09:49.14bilarhfeature creep already, and it's only been built for like three days
09:51.53bilarhsometimes the tv picture 'jerks', but i'm not sure what's causing it
09:52.46bilarhi would have thought the gfx card could do full screen playback at 800x600, and so should the processor because it's running at about 15% usage... gonna try some new codecs
09:52.54bilarhit might just be a crappy signal as well

09:58.36halihm, this is quite fun
09:58.53haliim are getting Cisco 4510 switches to use for floor ports :)
09:59.02halihuge chassi switch
09:59.02halibut
09:59.12halithe per-port cost is *lower* than using workgroup switches
09:59.59z00daxyou could always just not get cisco at all
10:00.18halinot my decision
10:00.37haliwe use cisco for all switches,routers,firewalls
10:00.49halii had to fight to get foundry load balancers
10:00.56bilarhwhat's wrong with cisco? it seems to just "keep working" most of the time, although they do seem very expensive as well
10:01.14bilarhnobody ever got fired for buying cisco ;)
10:01.31halithats the thing
10:01.33z00daxalso most of their tech is now getting quite old
10:01.36haliit's like the apple of networking :)
10:01.40hali"it just works"
10:01.48haliand their support is actually really really good
10:01.59z00daxthere is near zero movement on development at cisco compared to the other guys
10:02.01haliit's not the fastest kit, it's not the most feature rich kit
10:02.15halithats not really a bad thing
10:02.25halithe 4500 chassis has been around for as long as i can remember
10:02.38haliwith new generation supervisor modules of course, bigger switching capacity
10:03.11haliand it's not that expensive
10:03.24hali48-port gig line cards are less then 2k
10:04.28kjalilhmm, morning guys, can anyone help me with a mod_perl config question?
10:05.22halibut sure, i wouldn't mind force10 or extreme networks kit to play with
10:05.45z00daxme neither
10:05.56bilarhwe've got extreme networks kit
10:06.18kjalili'm on a centos 4.6 box (actually strongbolt) with the mod_perl 1.99 rpm installed already but I don't think the module is loading. how do I verify it is?
10:06.24bilarhabout 7 or so 24 port switches
10:06.27z00daxalthough i done seem to have much time to play with these days
10:06.39bilarhand we're using it as a flat network with no fancy switching or anything *sigh*
10:06.59z00daxkjalil, check https capability line' that will tell you
10:07.29z00daxerrr httpd
10:07.35kjalilz00dax: sorry, i don't understand that. i'm not much good at doing apache/perl stuff
10:07.59kjalilz00dax: /var/logs/error_log doesn't indicate mod_perl loading
10:07.59z00daxjust run something the needs it ?
10:08.37kjalilz00dax: yeah i'm trying to get otrs to use it but even there instructions are not clear about how to configure it to use mod_perl. i  think I need to test a simple program first to verify it is running
10:09.05kjalilz00dax: where do i check the httpd capability line?
10:09.59halibilarh: looks like you guys use force10 kit as well, veritas is on the case study page on force10.com :)
10:10.30bilarhhali: possibly, but not in this office ;-)
10:11.34halihttps://home.eease.com/recruit/?id=27757
10:11.40halicheck the form at the bottom of the page :)
10:11.44haliis that even legal?
10:12.16halisure about the BS text, but im sure it does
10:12.31bilarhit is "voluntary" :P
10:12.57haliif you check the box they change the destination email address to dev@null.com
10:13.03bilarhprobably
10:16.07bilarhkjalil: this might help you, although there may be better ways also:  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/Module.html
10:16.20bilarhkjalil: specifically, the last three lines of the perl code :)
10:18.28kjalilyou mean the "if (Apache2::Module::loaded('Apache2::Status')) {" line?
10:18.34bilarhyeah
10:19.01bilarhhmm
10:19.05bilarhmaybe i'm mistaken
10:19.16bilarh<PROTECTED>
10:19.17bilarh<PROTECTED>
10:19.27kjalilbilarh: hmm, sorry to sound a bit stupid, but i've never dealt with mod_perl. i assume this is just a perl script i drop into cgi-bin, etc?
10:20.00bilarhhmm, no
10:20.25bilarhyou need to write a proper cgi program first, that uses the apache2 module and then do the "loaded" call
10:20.31bilarhand then output whatever result
10:20.54bilarhwhen i say proper cgi program, i mean you need the "Content-type: xxx" header etc or else apache will 500 internal error the page
10:21.02kjalilbilarh: the thing is, i know from a really long time ago with cgi scripting that even w/o mod_perl perl scripts will run. so how do I distinguish between "ran with mod_perl" and "didn't run with mod_perl"
10:21.33bilarhi thought everything ran in mod_perl if it was loaded?
10:21.37bilarhso you could just check if it's loaded
10:21.50bilarhand anyway, if you have LoadModule mod_perl, it should work unless there's error output
10:21.59bilarhtry starting apache with debug output, perhaps
10:22.10bilarhhttpd -X
10:22.19bilarhsee what it says on startup
10:22.26kjalilbilarh: yes, everything might run in mod_perl if it was loaded, i guess. let me try that debug thing
10:23.30kjalilbilarh: is that supposed to output anything at all?
10:29.51kjalilah, finally.
10:30.35kjalilJust enable the "server_info" module, configure the "Location /server-info" section, go to http://youserver/server-info/ and it gives you a *complete* list of all loaded modules
10:30.44kjalilat least I now know it IS loaded
10:30.46bilarhah cool :D
10:30.54bilarhapache logging is weird
10:31.11bilarhi would have thought 'debug' would enable lots of logging, but in fact i got the same as before :)
10:31.15kjalilbilarh: yeah now that I know it is loaded now I can figure out WHY otrs is not using it
10:31.25kjalilbilarh: -X outputs nothing
10:31.44kjalilbilarh: ah, did you mean the log file?
10:31.45bilarhyeah i realised that as well
10:32.13bilarh-X outputs nothing to console, and nothing extra to log files, even when the log level is set to debug for error log
10:32.16bilarhoh well
10:32.17kjalilbilarh: no, nothing there either
10:32.30kjalilbilarh: yeah, thanks so far
10:33.02bilarhno problems
10:34.03kjalilbilarh: ok, so from before, I now should write a normal cgi program first that has the content-type stuff
10:34.19kjalilbilarh: but then calls what?
10:34.25bilarhthe loaded call?
10:34.49bilarhloaded
10:34.49bilarhDetermine if a certain module is loaded
10:34.49bilarh$loaded = Apache2::Module::loaded($module);
10:35.09bilarhbut then, that doesn't actually tell you if it's used or not :)
10:35.45bilarhooh
10:35.52bilarhthis might be what you want: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/perl-modperl/200304.mbox/%3C20030402083744.GA16729@goldfisch.at%3E
10:36.30*** join/#gllug curson (n=curzon@79-69-11-242.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
10:36.38kjalilok i've got the cgi program with content-type up and running
10:36.53bilarhand what's it say about mod_cgi?
10:38.41kjalilbilarh: eh? sorry i only put in one line to just start the testing :)
10:39.00kjalilwhat does who say about mod_cgi?
10:39.28bilarhhave a look here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/Module.html
10:39.46bilarhone of the calls in that module is 'loaded' which returns true if a module is loaded or false if it isn't
10:42.00haliz00dax: lots of spam to centos-devel lately
10:44.21kjalilbilarh: hang on, testing
10:46.26kjalilbilarh: Undefined subroutine &Apache2::Module::add called
10:46.31kjalilbilarh: that was in error_log
10:46.51bilarhyou need to "use Apache2::Module;"
10:49.06kjalilbilarh: sorry, now I get " Can't locate Apache2/Module.pm" following by a long list of include directories
10:49.33bilarhah, you probably haven't got Apache2::Module installed :-)
10:49.37bilarhdo an RPM search for it
10:49.49kjalilbilarh: ah, Apache::Module seems to work?
10:50.07kjalilhmm, i'm sure I'm on apache2 here
10:50.22kjalilServer Version: Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS)
10:50.31bilarhbut that's a perl module
10:50.38bilarhnothing to do with apache, as such
10:50.43bilarhrpm -qa | grep mod
10:50.54bilarhor even grep apache, maybe
10:51.18kjalilbilarh: ok looking for apache2 module
10:52.40kjalilbilarh: only mod_perl, and mod_ssl, and module_init_tools which is something else
10:52.47kjalilbilarh: doing a yum search now
10:52.51bilarhok
10:54.59kjalilcan't find anything relevant to perl AND apache
10:55.04bilarhhmm ok
10:55.16bilarhdid you check out that apache.org mail list post?
10:56.16halithe bugzilla 3 install guide has got some good info about apache and mod_perl
10:56.23halias bugzilla 3 supports mod_perl
11:01.39bilarhah claimed 17.3dbA rating for a CPU fan is quite quiet, isn't it?
11:03.02kjalilbilarh: yes i think so
11:03.16kjalilbilarh: which fan?
11:03.27bilarhakasa ak-875
11:03.56kjalilbilarh: well if you want to change the heatsink + fan i would recommend scythe ninja or thermalright
11:04.31kjalilbilarh: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/home
11:06.07bilarhwow, the ninja-2 is quite big isn't it
11:06.51kjalilbilarh: this is a case fan, but it's the quietest i ever had http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/casefans/nf-s12-800
11:07.08kjalilnoctua are very good for case fans, always get 120mm at least
11:07.23bilarhhmm
11:07.29bilarhi'm gonna have to crack the case open and have a look
11:07.39kjalilthat one runs at 800 rpm, maybe you want a slight faster one
11:07.42bilarhinstinctively, i'd say the ninja was too high :)
11:07.55bilarhit's only for a htpc, so it's not like it's running full pelt all the tiem
11:07.56kjalilbilarh: is it a mid-tower case
11:08.02kjalilbilarh: ah
11:08.03bilarhso the cooling need isn't *huge*
11:08.15bilarhbut noise is annoying nevertheless
11:08.20bilarhespecially so when it's for viewing tv :)
11:08.24*** join/#gllug eyore (n=eeyore@84.45.14.60)
11:09.04kjalilbilarh: i used a normal tower case for my htpc. i turned off most of the fans, put it behind the tv where no one can see it, and cracked the side open a little to keep it cool. been running almost a year :)
11:09.25kjalilthat one has a thermalright heatsink + noctua fans
11:09.26bilarhi've got an accent ht400 case, it would be a shame to hide it behind the tv :)
11:09.55kjalilhmm, if it will take the ninja, they might say so on the website
11:10.09kjalildoesn't have to be ninja, there are others on that website
11:10.14bilarhyeah i know
11:10.23bilarhbut the ninja could run fanless apparently
11:10.26bilarhif i down clock
11:10.49kjalilhttp://www.silentpcreview.com/section5.html is great for reviews of this stuff
11:10.59kjalilyes, perhaps
11:11.14kjalilactually, someone did do that, but in a tower with ubuntu and mythtv
11:11.44kjalilhttp://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_silent.php
11:17.49kjalilbilarh: this might fit : http://www.silentpcreview.com/article186-page1.html
11:18.57BR_I am going to be building a PVR box soon I think (hello all btw!)... am still trying to find a nice DVB-S card though with a CAM slot
11:23.23bilarhooh, DVB-S
11:23.26bilarhi want one of them as well
11:23.30bilarhand a dish, of course :)
11:23.43bilarhi'm all DVB-T'd up
11:24.21BR_well Ideally I would like DVB-S2 + CI/CAM
11:24.35bilarhi don't know what any of that means, but i'm sure it's all good :)
11:24.48BR_S2 == HD
11:24.52bilarhah
11:24.57BR_CI/CAM == To use my subscription card
11:25.05bilarhoh right, cool
11:25.42BR_my Ideal setup is DVB-T + DVB-S2/CI So I can watch and record from different tuners.
11:26.00bilarhyeah that would be good
11:26.07bilarhi've got a dual dvb-t card at the moment
11:27.43eyoreI know being gllug, the answer to this question is going to involve saying that fedora is crap, however...
11:27.57eyoredoes anyone know why sendmail might send from localhost.localdomain rather than using my hostname
11:28.01bilarhfedora is crap
11:28.03bilarh;-)
11:28.17eyoreI suspected as much
11:28.55bilarhlocal_domain in sendmail.mc -> m4 to sendmail.cf
11:29.00bilarh?
11:29.15eyorethere are quite a few people on google who seem to try and solve this rather stupid problem by using masquarding in sendmail, but that sounds rather overkill
11:29.33bilarhis it something to do with /etc/hosts?
11:29.37eyorewil try that, I'm currently trying to uninstall sendmail and install exim as a possible easier solution
11:29.49eyorewell i find some people saying move the server line above the localhost line
11:29.58eyorebut a) that seems stupid b) it doesn't seem to work
11:31.05bilarhwhat does your mail.info say about the message?
11:31.47eyoreis that a file?
11:32.42bilarhwell, depends :-)
11:32.53bilarhcheck your mail logs, i mean
11:33.28eyorethe maillog looks correct
11:33.31bilarhmight be in /var/log/maillog
11:33.32eyorebut when i look in the headers i see
11:34.40eyoreReceived: (from root@localhost)
11:34.43eyorein the headers
11:35.05bilarhwhat does 'hostname' say?
11:35.06eyorewhich I think some recieving mailservers don't like.
11:35.13eyoremy real hostname
11:35.25bilarhand what does /etc/hosts look like?
11:37.01Provitoalso update /etc/mailname
11:38.05eyorefirst line:
11:38.07eyore127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
11:38.32eyore127.0.0.1       foo.blahblah.com foo
11:38.55eyorewhere foo.blahblah.com is my fully qualified server name
11:38.55bilarhi'd set the foo.blahblah.com line to your actual real IP address
11:39.09eyoreokay good idea i'll try that
11:39.18bilarhi mean, localhost is localhost, right, whereas foo.blahblah.com is what your actual *real* ip is
11:39.22bilarhso that looks wrong to me :)
11:39.25bilarhno idea if it causes the problem
11:39.48bilarhbut it's possible that sendmail might do a lookup on foo.blahblah.com, find out it's 127.0.0.1 and then do a reverse lookup later on with that value
11:39.55antiphaseSome distros use 127.0.1.1 as the real hostname these days, as it's all valid in 127/8
11:39.59bilarhalternatively, change /etc/nsswitch.conf to check dns before files :)
11:40.10antiphaseYou shouldn't ever change the localhost line, it can fuck stuff up
11:40.11bilarhantiphase: but isn't that a bit weird?
11:40.12eyorebilarh I think you are right
11:40.26bilarhantiphase: i'm not saying change the localhost line, change the one with the foo.blahblah.com
11:40.37eyorealthough i fear something else may break
11:40.41eyorei will try it now anyway
11:40.49rhowe"Ikea home delivery. Be with you within the hour" "Oh, OK. How big's your van" "Van? 80 ton lorry, mate" "Oh, good luck"
11:40.49antiphase127.0.0.1 is localhost, you shouldn't have anything else with that address
11:41.00eyorei read some docs and sendmail works out the hostname by resolving 'the' ip address
11:41.06eyoreso it sounds plausible
11:41.22bilarhantiphase: ah, i think we're saying the same thing in a roundabout way
11:42.44antiphaseAnd don't use sendmail either, it's older than Discordian :P
11:42.58bilarhhehe
11:42.58eyoreI barely use it
11:43.40eyorebut java mail uses it by default, probably it works with whatever MTA is installed, but currently my dev machine is struggling to resolve dependancies for exim
11:44.00eyorepath of least resistance etc,
11:44.17antiphaseph33r. postfix is a good option if it's a Debian-a-like
11:44.36antiphaseEspecially as it has pretty ncurses configuration fu for simple setups
11:44.38rhoweeyore: Pretty much every MTA includes a drop-in replacement for the 'sendmail' program
11:44.51eyorei thought that was probably the case
11:45.02rhoweeyore: So javamail should work with whatever. If you don't actually need to run an MTA on that box you could even use something like ssmtp or nullmailer
11:45.27eyorewe need to send out mail.
11:46.02rhoweSure, but do you have a real mail server you can forward to? If you do, ssmtp might be a solution
11:46.28eyoreother than changing /etc/hosts and restarting sendmail is there anything I should flush or anything
11:46.36eyorebecause it still sends from root@localhost
11:46.58rhoweAre you sure it's not Javamail which is setting a From: address?
11:47.06antiphasemailx -a 'From: me@some.host' :)
11:47.07eyorei am testing using mail on the commandline
11:48.22antiphaseUnless you're injecting a real fully-qualified mail, it will add headers for you
11:48.32antiphaseNot really a realistic test if that's not what you'll be doing in the end
11:49.26eyorei can send mails through the webapp front end.
11:49.27eyoreReceived: (from root@localhost)
11:49.28eyoreby gold.realhostname.com (8.13.8/8.13.8/Submit) id m04BiE6f008373
11:49.34eyoreis what i see in the headers when using mail
11:50.02eyorei thought recieved: headers were put in by sendmail
11:50.05eyorebut i could be wrong
11:51.53eyorefrom the webfront end i get:
11:51.54eyoreReceived: from gold.realhostname.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
11:51.54eyoreby gold.realhostname.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m04BokH5009400;
11:52.44eyoreI'm not crazy to want to fix this am I? I mean it looks wrong to me.
11:53.57eyorethe webfront end is the javamail system, so that is realistic
11:54.11bilarhhmm
11:54.25bilarhbut it's just the mail envelope that is "wrong", isn't it?
11:54.38eyorethat isn't so bad?
11:54.38bilarhit wouldn't be displayed to a user looking at it in a mail client
11:54.46bilarhunless they view headers
11:54.48eyoreno I'm worried about recieving mail servers
11:55.00bilarhthat should be fine
11:55.26bilarhantiphase might know for sure
11:56.09bilarhsome mail servers block mails when the mx record of the claimed domain of the mail server does not match up with the ip of the actual server, if you see what i mean
11:56.24eyorethat is the sort of thing I am trying to fix
11:56.41bilarhbut that hasn't really got anything to do with the mail envelope either
11:56.41eyorei am getting some mail rejected by the receiving mail server
11:56.47bilarhoh ok
11:56.50bilarhin that case, ignore me :)
11:57.14eyoredo you think they might check the envelope?
11:58.02bilarhbut that would be wrong in most cases anyway, wouldn't it?
11:58.02bilarhif you have an organization with say a bunch of internal mail servers forwarding to an internet mail gateway, for example
11:58.53eyoreI am looking for one of the error messages i got from a recieving server
11:59.01antiphaseYour envelope is what the sending server announces to the receiving server during SMTP, and bears little resemblance to what the mail headers contain. Of course it also depends on exactly the receiving mail server behaves. It's not an exact science :)
12:02.26antiphaseYou're unlikely to be able to alter the originating received header anyway. Is it a problem if it is sent by root? Or are you complaining that the sender appears as root@host in the other headers?
12:07.05eyoreI should have read the errors i recieved more carefully
12:08.36antiphaseLayer 8 problem
12:09.16bilarhhehe
12:12.09eyoreI think most of the errors are actually caused by people replying to an email address i didn't setup called noreply@anotherDomainWeOwn.com
12:12.22eyoreokay, well that was a less in stupidity.
12:14.58eyoreOr maybe, just maybe I have no idea what is going on.
12:15.16bilarhwelcome to the club :)
12:15.32bilarhi just try to sound like i know what i'm doing, but i keep getting caught out more often than i'd like :)
12:15.41eyoremaybe the recieving server is validating the from address in some way
12:16.32eyorechecking whether MX records and/or a mailserver exists for the domain in the from address
12:16.39eyorewhich it isn't
12:16.44eyorebecause i didn't intend anyone to reply
12:29.02antiphaseSendind mail from addresses which are unable to receive mail is a major recipe for FAIL
12:29.38antiphaseJust don't do it, ever. If nothing else, alias your noreply@ addresses to /dev/null
12:30.12antiphaseEspecially if you want people to read the mail you're sending, as sender verification callouts are common

13:37.11bilarhyou mean you wore one, of course
13:39.40boudiccasdick_turpin; and are you recovered now? or just 'convalescent'???
13:39.50dick_turpinMate if it gets rid of this flu I'd put anything
13:40.12bilarhstick a carrot up your back side, i hear that helps
13:40.23bilarhi haven't had a man flu lately so haven't verified the claim
13:41.07boudiccasyou need the old dodge of putting a carrot up your backside followed by a jammy doughnut. repeat for three days every day and on the fourth day omit the jam doughnut
13:41.15dick_turpinboudiccas: I've taken me slippers back from bilarh so I suppose I'm on the road to recovery

13:48.46boudiccasand as i've got to hand it in next wednesday i'd better get on with it

13:49.09dick_turpinHad a gorgeous blond haired girl in one night
13:49.16dick_turpinTotally starkers
13:49.20boudiccasbilarh; i can't i've got three weeks homework to catch up on, so it /must/ take priority
13:49.30bilarhboudiccas: fine, tell me on thursday
13:49.31dick_turpinsix of us had to hold her down
13:50.00dick_turpinall the doctor kept asking was "Why have you got butter on your toes?"
13:50.46dick_turpinI just kept praying she wouldn't answer
13:50.59bilarhi don't get it, why did you have to hold her down?
13:51.12dick_turpinShe was throwing an eppy fit
13:51.17bilarhoh right :)
13:52.01dick_turpinAmbulance crew had to break in her flat to get her, she woke up in A&E (Figure it out yourself)
13:52.36bilarhbut the butter? :-)
13:53.27dick_turpinHer and her boyfriend must have been up to something kinky, she passed out, he shit himself the rest is another story in the memory bank
13:57.17Paul_UKomg lol
13:59.14Paul_UKstill he sounds pretty lame, first toe fetish and then just leaving her.  i had an ex who had epilepsy..  sure its not nice to watch, but if you care about that person, you'll help them out
13:59.46bilarhbut a fit doesn't really do anything does it?
13:59.52bilarhi thought it was freaky looking, but harmless
13:59.59bilarhbut then i know next to nothing about it :)
14:00.06Paul_UKno, fits can be dangerous
14:00.10bilarhoh right
14:00.32dick_turpinIt may have been that she was sticking her toes up his bum for all I know, I doubt he wanted to hang around and explain
14:00.41Paul_UKbut meds can help, but not aways and then there can be side affects
14:01.24Paul_UKwell docs have seen and heard everything..  at end of day, how long does it take to call ambulance and then clean up toes?  shhesssj
14:03.52dick_turpincough, cough, splutter splutter
14:04.05boudiccasepilepticus status can be very dangerous and requires medical intervention every time as its just one loooooooooong and continuous fit
14:05.01boudiccasthe brain goe sinto overload and starts throwing a fit and gets into a repeating cycle which needs medical drugs to stop it
14:05.15dick_turpinI don't think she was epileptic, I think she just passed out, when she came round I think it was fear and disorientation
14:06.56bilarhyou learn something new every day
14:07.09bilarhremember to clean your girlfriends toes :)
14:08.25bilarhcooking oil has higher viscosity, though, so should provide less friction
14:08.32bilarhthen again, less friction might be a bad thing
14:08.49bilarhfabric softener for the win :D

14:31.23dick_turpinDid you know they put sand in the toothpaste in UK prisons so the likes of bilarh cant use it for the wrong purpose
14:31.51eyoreis that true or an urban myth?
14:32.41BlaptoWho wants to go to prison to find out?
14:33.12BlaptoI vote dick_turpin, seeing as you have a criminal's name
14:35.03boudiccasbilarh; i am doing my homework, after every question i stop and take a break whilst i'm thinking about the best way of answering the next question
14:35.35dick_turpinThe state our prisons are in they can probably smuggle a woman in they seem to be able to get everything else they want
14:36.26boudiccasdick_turpin; can they get snuff in prison?
14:36.54dick_turpinboudiccas: As much as you want
14:37.21boudiccasi know [from watching porridge] that they can get hand rolling tobacco [snout] but have never heard of snuff in relation to prison
14:37.59etorixi never saw snuff in pentonville
14:42.57etorixthey take cigarette-lighters away, but give u back the flintholder bit
14:43.25etorixand theres an active trade in mop-strands
14:44.06etorixso u put the mop-strand in a biro, tape the flint-holder to the top
14:44.15etorixget a glow-lighter
14:46.10dick_turpinActually that raises an interesting point, if smoking is banned in public and government buildings then why isn't it banned in prison?
14:46.39eyoreprobably to avoid riots
14:47.40etorixhmm
14:47.50etorixi aint bin there lately
14:48.10etorixbut yes, id imagine theyd get upset

15:40.54z00daxmost of the other deb's i've installed by themselves.
