| 11:22.59 | cpufreak | I',m in a special situation |

| 11:23.08 | cpufreak | IBM alternatel say |

| 11:23.34 | bilarh | nice :P |
| 11:23.42 | bilarh | is your site live yet? |
| 11:23.43 | cpufreak | 4) not running a supported raid configuration |
| 11:23.46 | bilarh | or was it live, rather? :P |

| 11:25.03 | cpufreak | I'm pondering boxing it up |
| 11:25.09 | cpufreak | and couriering it to them |
| 11:25.23 | bilarh | don't forget to send a box with dog turds as well |
| 11:25.31 | cpufreak | no need |
| 11:25.42 | cpufreak | half the IBM equipment was the wrong spec (wrong riser cards etc) |
| 11:25.46 | cpufreak | some more of it was DOA |
| 11:26.05 | bilarh | damn, good job we went for lsi and not some premium brand like ibm for storage |
| 11:27.21 | bilarh | murb: spoilsport |
| 11:27.31 | cpufreak | please pm me any pertinent information |
| 11:27.33 | bilarh | murb: can't you tell us some stories about "another supplier I've worked with" |

| 11:33.10 | bilarh | cpufreak: or is it the actual app that's not working? |
| 11:33.14 | cpufreak | erm |
| 11:33.18 | cpufreak | the filesystem crashed yesterday |
| 11:33.21 | cpufreak | and wont restart |
| 11:33.29 | cpufreak | filesystem = GPFS |
| 11:33.32 | bilarh | cpufreak: yeah i know but how is it affecting the end user experience, i mean |
| 11:33.38 | bilarh | i read back earlier :) |
| 11:33.51 | cpufreak | no |
| 11:33.55 | cpufreak | this is internal storage |
| 11:33.58 | cpufreak | just 23TB or so |

| 11:56.57 | Blapto | Hi |
| 12:05.01 | Blapto | I'm going to send out an e-mail, but do any London based sysadmins want to work for Ticketmaster? |
| 12:06.02 | murb | Blapto: do you work for them? |
| 12:06.23 | murb | or are you trying to pimp your existing job? |
| 12:06.29 | Blapto | I do. It's not my job you'll be having, but be in the same team as me. |
| 12:06.45 | Blapto | Two sysadmin positions going. |
| 12:07.00 | Blapto | Mainly linux, a little windows, a little solaris. |
| 12:07.12 | Blapto | And a little BSD |
| 12:07.37 | murb | Blapto: do you have to live inside the m25? |
| 12:08.03 | murb | and where approx. in london? |
| 12:08.42 | Blapto | You can live where you like. I'm fairly sure my boss lives in France and commutes in every day (well, he's in Kent, but closer to France than London.) We're in Leicester Square. |
| 12:09.22 | murb | travelling west wouldn't be so bad. |
| 12:09.34 | murb | if they make it fast enough you could arrive before you left! |
| 12:09.46 | Blapto | True. |
| 12:09.58 | etorix | France to London, every day |
| 12:10.06 | Blapto | Yeah, it's a joke. He lives in Kent. |
| 12:10.16 | murb | etorix: oh i'd not live in france! |
| 12:10.18 | Blapto | He gets very angry when people ask him how France is today. |
| 12:11.08 | murb | Blapto: oh he should check the weather every day in preperation for that question. |
| 12:11.39 | Blapto | I think he could just make it up, none of us are going to verify it. |
| 12:12.15 | etorix | gah, this app's manpage comes up like its in a hexeditor |
| 12:12.50 | etorix | bugger this for a game of soldiers |
| 12:13.45 | etorix | maintainer is french, too |
| 12:14.01 | Blapto | Ask him how the weather is. |
| 12:15.03 | etorix | hes hexed |
| 12:15.47 | Blapto | murb: Have we met? |
| 12:16.28 | murb | Blapto: I don't know, i've been living in germany since 2005 |
| 12:16.49 | Blapto | Ah, so unlikely |
| 12:17.09 | Blapto | I think I'm confused between you and morsing |
| 12:20.07 | murb | oh please don't do that! |
| 12:20.15 | Blapto | I promise not to. |
| 12:20.18 | wethrin | Blapto! |
| 12:20.19 | murb | thanks :-) |
| 12:20.24 | Blapto | wethrin! |
| 12:20.27 | murb | wethrin: oh you're being morsing for the day? |
| 12:20.51 | Blapto | Who keeps asking me if I'm someone else because we have the same name? Ahhh, so confused. |
| 12:21.48 | wethrin | murb: Where's Blapto? |
| 12:21.57 | Blapto | Here! Here! |
| 12:22.03 | wethrin | No, I'll stop it now |
| 12:26.52 | Blapto | murb: did you go to the GLLUG meet on the Maple Leaf (Covent Garden) about 3 years ago? |
| 12:27.48 | murb | Blapto: probably not, but if you've been to fosdem i you may have seen me. |
| 12:28.08 | Blapto | I haven't |
| 12:32.31 | wethrin | Was it 3 years ago? |
| 12:33.00 | Blapto | Well, I remember not being old enough to buy my own drinks, and I'm 20 now. |

| 12:51.28 | Blapto | Ooh, an F2. I'm really tempted to pick up a voigtlander R2M |
| 12:52.28 | etorix | mechanical nikons dont break much, or batts run down |

| 12:58.50 | etorix | i has a gorgeous voigtlander heliar 210 mm |
| 12:59.01 | etorix | 5x4 lens |
| 12:59.15 | Blapto | Oh, right, was going to say that's an odd focal length for a rangefinder. |
| 12:59.40 | etorix | well, it did go on my linhof rangefinder |

| 13:02.00 | Blapto | Digital? |
| 13:02.09 | etorix | not worth being mugged for |
| 13:02.32 | Blapto | Show the chav it's a film camera, they won't be interested. |
| 13:02.40 | etorix | sure, with talk-to-phone + computer easy capalility |
| 13:03.32 | etorix | i could shoot film if i wanted |
| 13:03.53 | etorix | i picked up some 8x10 darkslides a few weeks ago |
| 13:04.02 | etorix | down the road, in a skip |

| 13:11.18 | Blapto | Oooh, interesting ligature bug. |
| 13:11.45 | Blapto | Firefox in debian unstable (dist-upgrade d today) renders fi as ffl |
| 13:11.54 | etorix | tho id of killed for the 2.8 tessar on the linhof rangefinder i saw in tokyo |
| 13:12.22 | etorix | i sold mine to that guys competitor |
| 13:13.30 | etorix | and my heliar is worth gold in tokyo |
| 13:14.21 | etorix | the previous emperor did 8x10 work with a heliar |
| 13:15.09 | etorix | heliar = 'of the sun' or so |
| 13:15.39 | Blapto | Helios was the Greek god of the Sun |
| 13:15.58 | etorix | heliar = 'of the sun god' then |
| 13:16.11 | Blapto | I don't remember much of my GCSE Greek, but that sounds reasonable. |
| 13:16.45 | etorix | amaterasu was sun goddess in japanese hojiki |
| 13:17.00 | etorix | anyway |
| 13:17.09 | etorix | i want it in black pls |

| 14:59.22 | secret_ | so projects like wikipedia |
| 14:59.34 | etorix | has to be official project |
| 14:59.42 | secret_ | freenode's website has info on cloaks |
| 14:59.53 | etorix | u can request one |
| 14:59.56 | bilarh | secret: ah ok, cool, i'll have a look over there... cheers |
| 14:59.57 | secret_ | and it's up to each project how they do it |
| 15:00.04 | etorix | --- NickServ set your hostname to "unaffiliated/etorix" |
| 15:00.39 | secretlondon | NickServ set your hostname to "wikipedia/secretlondon" |
| 15:00.46 | etorix | or the project admins will offer u one |
| 15:00.55 | bilarh | cool, interesting stuff |
| 15:01.05 | secretlondon | it hides which isp you come from ;) |
| 15:01.22 | etorix | to casual view, yes |
| 15:01.28 | etorix | oftc wont do em |
| 15:01.40 | secretlondon | oftc? |
| 15:01.44 | antiphase | Why not just resort to falsifying DNS entries? |
| 15:02.02 | etorix | --- - Welcome to OFTC - The Open and Free Technology Community |

| 15:09.41 | bilarh | dick_turpin: shut it, baldie |
| 15:10.16 | dick_turpin | bilarh: :-) |
| 15:10.35 | murb | actually oftc is much less annoying than freenode. |
| 15:10.47 | murb | and also does TLSed connections |
| 15:10.53 | bilarh | murb: is that becaue dick_turpin is not on over there? |
| 15:11.00 | murb | and doesn't block messages. |
| 15:11.11 | bilarh | if dick_turpin left freenode, it would be less annoying, i think |
| 15:11.43 | secretlondon | I don't have projects on oftc |
| 15:11.44 | bilarh | i've got some pimps on my face i can put you in contact with |
| 15:11.45 | Blapto_ | secretlondon: what? |
| 15:12.05 | secretlondon | anyone freenode forks are just a hassle |
| 15:12.11 | etorix | im in one on oftc |
| 15:12.17 | secretlondon | Blapto: recruitment pimps |
| 15:12.22 | Blapto | Oh, right |
| 15:12.25 | Blapto | CWJobs++ |
| 15:12.30 | etorix | we ran away from lilo |
| 15:12.43 | secretlondon | Blapto: but I've no workplace It experience |
| 15:13.01 | Blapto | Ah, right, well, none of us did at some point |
| 15:13.01 | secretlondon | lilo rip |
| 15:13.02 | etorix | i hear mi5 is hiring |
| 15:13.08 | bilarh | neither does dick_turpin, that didn't stop him getting a job in it :P |
| 15:13.26 | secretlondon | etorix: I'm a bit of a lefty |
| 15:13.29 | wethrin | You ran away from lilo because you couldn't work /ignore |
| 15:13.30 | etorix | thats just acroos the river |
| 15:13.31 | wethrin | Har. |
| 15:13.42 | etorix | so work from inside |
| 15:14.08 | etorix | there money is good |
| 15:14.21 | etorix | cant hurt to ask |
| 15:14.21 | wethrin | Vetting for MImumble? |
| 15:14.31 | secretlondon | probably really high if other government security is anthing to go by |
| 15:14.50 | secretlondon | wethrin: I probably have a file from my days in the NUS |
| 15:14.50 | etorix | nah, this gubmint is a joke |
| 15:15.04 | wethrin | The MIs are a bit stricter when it comes to security checks than most other MoD agencies |
| 15:15.29 | etorix | u can expunge all that after u get the 'your category token' position |
| 15:15.29 | secretlondon | however you can apparently get a job in govt security if you are illegal (but I reckon those are like security guards) |
| 15:15.50 | Blapto | Does anybody know what classification they require? |
| 15:16.00 | Blapto | I'm halfway through getting vetting for the Royal Navy, which is fun |
| 15:16.02 | wethrin | Most MoD require you to be a British citizen |
| 15:16.16 | wethrin | MIn required you and your parents to be |
| 15:16.18 | murb | wethrin: hey, they recruited david "the 9/11 attacks on the wtc were faked" shayler |
| 15:16.21 | etorix | leaves me out then |
| 15:16.33 | secretlondon | murb: but he went mad afterwards we presume |
| 15:16.34 | wethrin | So I couldn't work for them. |
| 15:16.38 | murb | wethrin: and not to live outside the uk, which i really don't understand. |
| 15:16.46 | murb | wethrin: you and your divided loyalties. |
| 15:16.54 | wethrin | I blame my parents! |
| 15:16.55 | etorix | secretlondon: cant hurt to ask them |
| 15:17.02 | murb | wethrin: they might still recruit people who don't meat their requirements though. |
| 15:17.07 | secretlondon | etorix: I don't know if I could actually do it |
| 15:17.09 | murb | they can decide. |
| 15:17.11 | Blapto | murb: it's so you aren't open to foreign interference |
| 15:17.25 | murb | Blapto: i know... |
| 15:17.30 | wethrin | Eh. I can still consider AWE or DSTL when this contract runs out |
| 15:17.30 | etorix | better than signing on |
| 15:17.33 | secretlondon | I'm on the collective of the local anarchist centre |
| 15:17.34 | murb | blackmail etc. |
| 15:17.35 | Blapto | Someone who's "British through and through" is less likely to sell state secrets. They won't take people who are in debt either. |
| 15:17.42 | murb | wethrin: all the NUKES! |
| 15:17.48 | wethrin | Muahahaha! |
| 15:17.51 | secretlondon | I'd rather work for the bloody council like last time |
| 15:17.54 | wethrin | And I have a bicycle lock key! |
| 15:18.43 | secretlondon | cyclists = communists? |
| 15:18.44 | etorix | now i want a guitar |
| 15:19.12 | etorix | my mates keep getting killed off the bike |
| 15:19.28 | etorix | im avoiding my turn |
| 15:19.31 | wethrin | No, cyclists are just hippies :) |
| 15:20.56 | wethrin | Blapto: Is one of their tests giving you tea, milk, and a cup, and seeing how you pour yourself a drink? |
| 15:21.12 | Blapto | wethrin: So far I think they've just asked my references for references... |
| 15:21.23 | Blapto | None of them have been asked in which order I pour my tea. |
| 15:21.33 | secretlondon | I know some of the ideological "critical mass" cyclists. they evangelise |
| 15:21.41 | Blapto | (Milk then tea if it's brewed, tea then milk if it's being brewed in the mug.) |
| 15:22.09 | etorix | i used to be a bike mechanic |

| 15:23.15 | secretlondon | we have a free bike workshop locally - they gave me a bike but it's *just* too big, and I wouldn't dare go on the main road |
| 15:23.25 | wethrin | Blapto: Ding! |
| 15:23.28 | etorix | they wanted to re-shop us too far off a beten track |

| 15:24.23 | etorix | surgicals? |
| 15:25.07 | etorix | my mate used to put his double bass under the stairs on the bus |
| 15:25.10 | wethrin | Blapto: I have with me in Durham: clarinet pair, bass clarinet, soprano sax, alto sax, tenor sax, bari sax, snare drum, miscellaneous auxilliary percussion |
| 15:25.21 | wethrin | Oh, and a little recorder type thing |
| 15:25.40 | secretlondon | wethrin: the saddle is stuck. that's why it was free |
| 15:25.40 | secretlondon | Blapto: because they knew me |
| 15:25.40 | etorix | reeds |
| 15:26.03 | Blapto | I play bass guitar if you're ever in need of a bassist |
| 15:26.26 | wethrin | I'm tempted to learn |
| 15:26.34 | Blapto | Bari sax is great :) Do you know any Tower of Power songs? See if you can find The More You Know |
| 15:26.35 | wethrin | One of my new year resolutions was to learn a new instrument |
| 15:26.40 | etorix | wish i hadnt sold my fender |
| 15:26.42 | Blapto | Or Rhythmn and Business |
| 15:26.44 | wethrin | I know some Tower of Power stuff |
| 15:26.51 | wethrin | I'm tempted to learn the bass guitar |
| 15:27.00 | Blapto | but with less ns... |
| 15:27.02 | wethrin | Oh, if you're in need of a saxophonist.... |
| 15:27.28 | Blapto | I had a saxophonist girlfriend about a year back. |
| 15:27.32 | wethrin | So, instead of learning a real instrument, I appear to have taken up percussion |
| 15:27.40 | Blapto | But her lungs and hands were too small for bari... |
| 15:28.04 | wethrin | Hands shouldn't matter too much - the keywork is such that it's only a little bit further apart than tenor |
| 15:28.15 | Blapto | They were very small hands. |
| 15:28.22 | wethrin | Hm |
| 15:29.18 | secretlondon | I've got a friend doing french horn at trinity college |
| 15:29.51 | wethrin | Horn's a lovely instrument |
| 15:30.13 | Blapto | I used to play the trumpet, I could probably pick it up again given a month or so... I was never very good though. |
| 15:30.24 | wethrin | Play trombone! |
| 15:30.26 | wethrin | It's more fun |
| 15:30.30 | Blapto | Apparently my mouth is more Sousaphone shaped... Well, the mouthpiece for one shaped. |
| 15:30.39 | wethrin | Mmm....wearable tubas |
| 15:30.45 | Blapto | I did play one for a while |
| 15:30.55 | wethrin | Nice fat-bored bass trombone |
| 15:30.58 | wethrin | You know you want to... |
| 15:31.04 | Blapto | There was a very short girl in the band with me, about 4' tall. I could lean over with it and encase much of her in the bell. |
| 15:31.21 | secretlondon | Blapto: did it work? |
| 15:31.25 | Blapto | A good friend of mine plays trombone, I'm not sure I'd have the patience to learn it knowing that I can just e-mail him something to play. |
| 15:31.46 | Blapto | secretlondon: well, she got very upset, but I'd trapped her shoulders and she couldn't do much about it :) |
| 15:31.57 | secretlondon | heh |
| 15:32.35 | wethrin | Oh. Must remember to return the particle counter to Engineering today |

| 16:24.50 | antiphase | Depends what they want to do. The Interweb is a fair place to start I'd have thought |
| 16:25.27 | tripitaka | what are the 'kids' looking at for beginner stuff online these days? |
| 16:26.25 | secretlondon | just start with ubuntu and google for stuff you want to do |
| 16:26.33 | secretlondon | there is no bible |
| 16:27.01 | secretlondon | bsd man pages ;) |
| 16:27.10 | Blapto | Reading through forums is a nice way to found out neat things. |
| 16:27.13 | Blapto | Or reading all of man |

| 16:29.23 | antiphase | Why do my fingers always type ration when I mean ratio? |
| 16:29.27 | secretlondon | ubuntu forums can be blind leading the blind |

| 17:04.47 | Blapto | Looks interesting |
| 17:05.09 | secretlondon | they sell at 10% above cost |

| 17:06.04 | Discordian | looks like a good selection of vegetables yeah |
| 17:06.20 | secretlondon | the veg is organic so the street market is cheaper |
| 17:06.31 | secretlondon | the pulses etc are cheaper than the high street |
| 17:07.03 | Blapto | Rarrr, meat |
| 17:07.16 | Discordian | I'm no hippy |
| 17:07.18 | secretlondon | it's cheap, i'm being economical |

| 18:40.35 | cpufreak | so |
| 18:40.40 | cpufreak | IBM kernel developer just called me |
| 18:40.50 | cpufreak | they told me they could not restore the data |
| 18:40.55 | cpufreak | so I try my plan B |
| 18:40.59 | cpufreak | and guess what.. it worked! :D |
| 18:41.11 | etorix | restored? |
| 18:41.16 | cpufreak | yep |
| 18:41.31 | etorix | ibm cant get the staff anymore |
| 18:43.18 | etorix | we have a ibm staffer, captain obvious we call him |
| 18:44.33 | cpufreak | well |
| 18:44.47 | cpufreak | these kernel developers ar shit hot |
| 18:44.49 | cpufreak | they know what they're on about |
| 18:45.01 | cpufreak | but they didn't think outside the box |
| 18:45.15 | cpufreak | once they told me they couldn't get my data back, I could try my plan B, which was a bit risky |
| 18:45.17 | cpufreak | but worked |
| 18:49.04 | Discordian | good for you! |
| 19:03.09 | wethrin | whumpf |
| 19:03.42 | wethrin | cpufreak: What was your plan B? |
| 19:04.27 | etorix | my impression was 28tb |
| 19:04.53 | etorix | even 2 tb is a lotta lotta backuppy |
| 19:05.06 | wethrin | Depends how important your data is..... |
| 19:06.11 | antiphase | 2TB is only 2.5 LTO4 tapesful |

| 19:11.47 | cpufreak | no backup |
| 19:12.07 | cpufreak | backup, well archiving system not yet setup |
| 19:12.25 | cpufreak | got a 3.5 PB tape library sitting there (Scalar i2000) |
| 19:13.03 | cpufreak | plan b was simple, I deleted the partition tables |
| 19:13.05 | cpufreak | rebooted |
| 19:13.08 | cpufreak | recreated them |
| 19:13.10 | cpufreak | started up GPFS |
| 19:13.11 | cpufreak | and magic |
| 19:13.31 | cpufreak | so backing up my data |
| 19:13.34 | cpufreak | now |
| 19:13.45 | cpufreak | only getting 60MB/s across the gig tot his other server though |
| 19:13.50 | cpufreak | which is a bit annoying |
| 19:13.54 | Discordian | That's a cunning plan B |
| 19:14.06 | cpufreak | seems they canged their reocmmendation.. |
| 19:14.16 | cpufreak | for large luns, they recommend now not having partition tabels at all |
| 19:14.18 | Discordian | But I guess if there was no other chance |
| 19:14.19 | cpufreak | and just using raw devices |
| 19:14.35 | Discordian | That'd make sense |
| 19:15.10 | cpufreak | well previous iterations of their documentation recommeneeded partitions.. |
| 19:15.14 | cpufreak | so I went with that |
| 19:15.26 | cpufreak | latest one which I didn't read, recommends raw devices |
| 19:15.28 | cpufreak | meh |
| 19:15.46 | Discordian | Your plan B suggests they ignore the partitions anyway |
| 19:16.26 | Discordian | At some level anyway |
| 19:16.31 | cpufreak | well no |
| 19:16.38 | cpufreak | as I re-created the parttion table exact the same as before |
| 19:16.48 | Discordian | Oh I see |
| 19:16.50 | cpufreak | it was the kernel stopping gpfs from seeking past the first 1.7TB of the luns |
| 19:17.38 | Discordian | Aah right |
| 19:18.17 | wethrin | Ah, a kernel bug. |
| 19:18.39 | cpufreak | well meh, its just stupid 2^64 stuff I think |
| 19:18.46 | cpufreak | my maths is a bit knackered though right now |
| 19:18.56 | cpufreak | as I've been up for 38hrs or something, again. |
| 19:18.58 | cpufreak | twice this week |
| 19:19.02 | cpufreak | need to stop doing that |
| 19:20.24 | wethrin | I hope they're paying you well |
| 19:23.39 | cpufreak | no |
| 19:23.46 | cpufreak | I do it all for love |
| 19:23.47 | cpufreak | :P |
| 19:23.50 | cpufreak | nah its alright |
| 19:23.51 | cpufreak | its fun |
| 19:25.27 | wethrin | Rather you than me, then :) |
| 19:25.32 | wethrin | I'll stick to what I'm doing |
| 19:27.57 | cpufreak | once I get my working weeks under 80hrs, I'll see about doing a talk for you. |
| 19:28.36 | wethrin | nice |
| 19:28.51 | wethrin | 80 hours sounds like you need an assistant |
| 19:29.31 | cpufreak | 140hrs this week |
| 19:29.41 | cpufreak | antiphase is in my team |
| 19:29.52 | cpufreak | but he's been a hero this week |
| 19:29.57 | cpufreak | installing some systems in NYC |
| 19:36.36 | Discordian | alas no one has ever paid me to go further than Bletchley to install stuff |
| 19:37.23 | Discordian | bletchley by night is kinda dull |
| 19:37.48 | Discordian | not much better by day |
| 19:39.40 | antiphase | I thought I was getting a free holiday, no such luck though |
| 19:40.06 | Discordian | lol |
| 19:44.51 | etorix | exporting sysadmins huh |
| 19:44.57 | secretlondon | hmm. "lively lemonade" wasn't |
| 19:47.21 | secretlondon | harlequin ladybirds are fucking on my windowledge |
| 19:47.45 | etorix | harlequin? |
| 19:47.54 | secretlondon | yeah the ones we have an invasion of |
| 19:47.54 | Discordian | goodness |
| 19:48.02 | wethrin | DDT! |
| 19:48.11 | Discordian | Bit early in the year for that |
| 19:48.28 | secretlondon | well they are on top of each other, with one to the rear of the other |
| 19:48.35 | wethrin | *stomp* |
| 19:48.42 | etorix | omigod |
| 19:48.45 | etorix | There are 46 species of ladybird (Coccinellidae) resident in Britain and the recent arrival of the harlequin ladybird has the potential to jeopardise many of these. The Harlequin Ladybird Survey will monitor its spread across Britain and assess its impact on native ladybirds |
| 19:49.01 | Discordian | seems likely enough then |
| 19:49.03 | etorix | i get ladybirds |
| 19:49.19 | etorix | nasty biters they are , too |
| 19:49.25 | wethrin | ah. They're a pest, like grey squirrels, then |
| 19:50.15 | secretlondon | can't get a a decent phot |
| 19:50.28 | secretlondon | photo |
| 19:51.03 | etorix | i had a black one, two red spots |
| 19:51.12 | secretlondon | yeah they come like that too |

| 21:45.19 | Discordian | I had some wine |
| 21:46.30 | secretlondon | I've got a pair of big speakers but no amplifier. I currently use some PC speakers connected to this machine but I know I'd be better off with an amp from the electrical pawn shop |

| 21:47.34 | Discordian | aye |
| 21:47.49 | secretlondon | I bought my mini disk recorder from there - no probs |
| 21:49.15 | Discordian | Never did Minidisk |
| 21:49.25 | secretlondon | I just use it for recording outside |
| 21:49.48 | wethrin | I got a reasonably nice flashgun from CC |
| 21:49.49 | Discordian | Though currently I don't have a MP3 thingy |
