09:30.35Leeds30 mins to weekend, people!
09:31.49bilarhleeds: you bastard ;)
09:32.07LeedsI also get to start (about) 8 hours before you every day though
09:32.17halimorning
09:34.07bilarhleeds: that doesn't count, i'm asleep then
09:34.12bilarhmorning hali
09:34.44Leedssleep?  that thing I get 4-5 hours of each night at the moment?
09:34.56bilarhthat sounds like me :(
09:35.12bilarhhey in fact, you might actually be at work before I fall asleep! :D
09:35.34bilarhi must remember to come on here and gloat on sunday night that I'm going to bed and you're gonna be at work
09:35.51LeedsI get into work at 10am at the moment - 2am GMT... but I leave the house 80-90 minutes before that
09:36.08bilarhthat is a long commute, isn't it
09:36.13Leedsyes
09:36.22Leedsbased on a company site, at the far end of HK
09:36.24bilarhisn't it faster than that to walk from one end of HK to the other? :)
09:36.27Leedsthat is, customer site
09:40.25bilarhi want to go somewhere in june-july or optionally november/decemberish
09:40.47bilarhi'm thinking something like... vietnam for a week with a stop over in HK on the way back or soemthing
09:42.50bilarhwhat's HK like in june?
09:43.38bilarhthis 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
09:43.41bilarhand uclinux
09:43.59Leedsbilarh: hot, humid and rainy, normally
09:44.15bilarhis that the monsoon season?
09:44.27Leedsit's summer
09:44.41bilarhis november time better?
09:44.45Leedswe'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
09:45.11LeedsNovember is a decent time, yes... HK isn't really a sunbathing place anyway
09:45.34bilarhhmm... november it might be then
09:52.12Leedsooh, close timing
09:52.49Leedsgot 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 :-)
09:53.04bilarheconomist audio edition?
09:53.07bilarhdo you have to pay for that/
09:53.48Leedsfree with a subscription, otherwise $8 per issue
09:54.02bilarhcrikey
09:54.07Leedsthe 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)
09:54.19Leedsit's bloody good :-)
09:54.27bilarhi should hope so, for 8 USD :)
09:55.20Leedsan annual sub is only $80 ($70 for renewal), possibly plus $10 if I've got my numbers wrong - and worth every single penny
09:56.11bilarhhmm
09:56.20bilarhi do occassionally buy it
09:56.25bilarhbut most of it bores me to death, to be honest
09:56.35bilarhthere are a few gems in there
09:56.46Leedsit's very very good commute/gym background listening
09:56.52Leedsalso, toilet reading :-)
09:56.55bilarhheeh :)
09:57.00bilarhi prefer private eye myself
09:57.07bilarhreal journalism
09:57.11Leedswhen I had a paper sub, I had a stack of them in the loo
09:57.30Leedsthey do have an appropriately british sense of humour
09:58.04Leedscome on, damn you, 30 seconds to go
09:58.10Leedsthen got to unpack the zip onto my SD card
09:58.15Leedspeople around me are packing up...
10:00.16Leedsgone!

10:08.54LeedsWell, 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...
10:09.19bilarhnice
10:09.25Leedsyup
10:09.59Leedsdoesn't look like anyone was hurt - she was pulling out of the drive and got hit by a passing coach
10:10.38bilarhnew cars actually seem to be incredibly safe
10:10.41bilarhwhich is good
10:10.53Leedsit's a real Mini, not a BMW one
10:10.58bilarhi mean even cars like a renault clio etc can now get like a 5 star rating in the ncap test
10:11.02bilarhaaah
10:11.04bilarhvery lucky then!
10:11.32Leedsguess it was just clipped, enough to take the front off but didn't touch the cabin
10:11.43bilarhi can't believe anyone willingly puts themselves in something like that
10:11.58bilarhi'd feel so vulnerable i don't think i could do it
10:11.59Leedsthe coach is still sitting there, at the end of a short skidmark...
10:12.29Leedsdriving in HK is normally very safe
10:12.42LeedsI think...
10:12.55bilarhyeah but a mini *eek*
10:13.04bilarhi wouldn't want to be hit by a cyclist in one of them :D
10:13.53Leedswhen 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
10:13.59Leedswe're off
10:14.21Leedscan't do IRC while I'm moving - too much reading
