| 03:06.07 | secretlondon | night |
| 09:30.35 | Leeds | 30 mins to weekend, people! |
| 09:31.49 | bilarh | leeds: you bastard ;) |
| 09:32.07 | Leeds | I also get to start (about) 8 hours before you every day though |
| 09:32.17 | hali | morning |
| 09:34.07 | bilarh | leeds: that doesn't count, i'm asleep then |
| 09:34.12 | bilarh | morning hali |
| 09:34.44 | Leeds | sleep? that thing I get 4-5 hours of each night at the moment? |
| 09:34.56 | bilarh | that sounds like me :( |
| 09:35.12 | bilarh | hey in fact, you might actually be at work before I fall asleep! :D |
| 09:35.34 | bilarh | i must remember to come on here and gloat on sunday night that I'm going to bed and you're gonna be at work |
| 09:35.51 | Leeds | I get into work at 10am at the moment - 2am GMT... but I leave the house 80-90 minutes before that |
| 09:36.08 | bilarh | that is a long commute, isn't it |
| 09:36.13 | Leeds | yes |
| 09:36.22 | Leeds | based on a company site, at the far end of HK |
| 09:36.24 | bilarh | isn't it faster than that to walk from one end of HK to the other? :) |
| 09:36.27 | Leeds | that is, customer site |
| 09:40.25 | bilarh | i want to go somewhere in june-july or optionally november/decemberish |
| 09:40.47 | bilarh | i'm thinking something like... vietnam for a week with a stop over in HK on the way back or soemthing |
| 09:42.50 | bilarh | what's HK like in june? |
| 09:43.38 | bilarh | this is seriously cool: http://www.dingz.no/php/art.php?id=389936 article in norweigan only, but essentially a tiny pc with 8mb ram, 100mbit ethernet and 55mhz processor :D |
| 09:43.41 | bilarh | and uclinux |
| 09:43.59 | Leeds | bilarh: hot, humid and rainy, normally |
| 09:44.15 | bilarh | is that the monsoon season? |
| 09:44.27 | Leeds | it's summer |
| 09:44.41 | bilarh | is november time better? |
| 09:44.45 | Leeds | we're in the middle of an extended winter monsoon at the moment - there isn't really a monsoon season here, as far as I know |
| 09:45.11 | Leeds | November is a decent time, yes... HK isn't really a sunbathing place anyway |
| 09:45.34 | bilarh | hmm... november it might be then |
| 09:52.12 | Leeds | ooh, close timing |
| 09:52.49 | Leeds | got to leave in under 10 minutes to catch my bus... trying to download the Economist audio edition and get it on my phone before that :-) |
| 09:53.04 | bilarh | economist audio edition? |
| 09:53.07 | bilarh | do you have to pay for that/ |
| 09:53.48 | Leeds | free with a subscription, otherwise $8 per issue |
| 09:54.02 | bilarh | crikey |
| 09:54.07 | Leeds | the entire text of the magazine, read by pros, put out at 10am Friday |
| 09:54.18 | *** join/#gllug huw-l (n=huw@w1199.insrv.cf.ac.uk) |
| 09:54.19 | Leeds | it's bloody good :-) |
| 09:54.27 | bilarh | i should hope so, for 8 USD :) |
| 09:55.20 | Leeds | an annual sub is only $80 ($70 for renewal), possibly plus $10 if I've got my numbers wrong - and worth every single penny |
| 09:56.11 | bilarh | hmm |
| 09:56.20 | bilarh | i do occassionally buy it |
| 09:56.25 | bilarh | but most of it bores me to death, to be honest |
| 09:56.35 | bilarh | there are a few gems in there |
| 09:56.46 | Leeds | it's very very good commute/gym background listening |
| 09:56.52 | Leeds | also, toilet reading :-) |
| 09:56.55 | bilarh | heeh :) |
| 09:57.00 | bilarh | i prefer private eye myself |
| 09:57.07 | bilarh | real journalism |
| 09:57.11 | Leeds | when I had a paper sub, I had a stack of them in the loo |
| 09:57.30 | Leeds | they do have an appropriately british sense of humour |
| 09:58.04 | Leeds | come on, damn you, 30 seconds to go |
| 09:58.10 | Leeds | then got to unpack the zip onto my SD card |
| 09:58.15 | Leeds | people around me are packing up... |
| 10:00.16 | Leeds | gone! |

| 10:08.54 | Leeds | Well, I'm on the bus, but we're not in a rush to leave... someone has had the front of their bright yellow Mini smashed in right outside the building... |
| 10:09.19 | bilarh | nice |
| 10:09.25 | Leeds | yup |
| 10:09.59 | Leeds | doesn't look like anyone was hurt - she was pulling out of the drive and got hit by a passing coach |
| 10:10.38 | bilarh | new cars actually seem to be incredibly safe |
| 10:10.41 | bilarh | which is good |
| 10:10.53 | Leeds | it's a real Mini, not a BMW one |
| 10:10.58 | bilarh | i mean even cars like a renault clio etc can now get like a 5 star rating in the ncap test |
| 10:11.02 | bilarh | aaah |
| 10:11.04 | bilarh | very lucky then! |
| 10:11.32 | Leeds | guess it was just clipped, enough to take the front off but didn't touch the cabin |
| 10:11.43 | bilarh | i can't believe anyone willingly puts themselves in something like that |
| 10:11.58 | bilarh | i'd feel so vulnerable i don't think i could do it |
| 10:11.59 | Leeds | the coach is still sitting there, at the end of a short skidmark... |
| 10:12.29 | Leeds | driving in HK is normally very safe |
| 10:12.42 | Leeds | I think... |
| 10:12.55 | bilarh | yeah but a mini *eek* |
| 10:13.04 | bilarh | i wouldn't want to be hit by a cyclist in one of them :D |
| 10:13.53 | Leeds | when I came out, I thought it has stalled or something - I was going to point out that a couple of little girls could pick it up and move it |
| 10:13.59 | Leeds | we're off |
| 10:14.21 | Leeds | can't do IRC while I'm moving - too much reading |
