08:55.15Leedsokay, I'm playing battleships on facebook... could I get much lower?
09:02.36bilarhyou could be scooping yoghurt out of a pot with your hand
09:03.02bilarhor even
09:03.08bilarhenter dick_turpin.
09:03.09bilarh:-D
09:12.00bilarhbring on payday :-\
09:13.00Leedsa week today for me
09:13.31bilarhi am so broke
09:13.39bilarhthis month has been rubbish from a money point of view
09:13.47bilarhbloody car is bankruping me
09:13.51bilarhbankrupting
09:14.28bilarhit's one of those "35 day" months this time
09:14.32halidid you diy-brake it?
09:14.36bilarhi hate being paid on the last friday of the month, it sucks
09:14.41bilarhhali: no i had someone fit a clutch
09:14.50bilarhfor only 850 quid :-\
09:14.56bilarhand then i had to pay for other stupid shit as well
09:15.11bilarh"had" to buy that running machine, for example :D
09:15.12haliannoying
09:15.20haliyou could just buy a yaris :)
09:15.21bilarhit's currently serving as a clothes rack
09:15.44bilarhtaht would be like a quarter of the power :)
09:15.49halireal running is free :)
09:15.50bilarhand probably 1/8th of the running costs
09:15.55bilarhwhat's the point of that :P
09:15.57haliyes and yes :)
09:16.20haliit is the "hobby" car i guess so it's fine it costs a bit of dosh
09:16.31halias you're not really dependant on it
09:16.33bilarhyeah it is
09:16.55bilarhbut when it's like... affecting my day to day life as i have to scrimp and save at the end of the month, it kind of sucks
09:17.06bilarhoh yeah, i remember... i had to pay for that stupid holiday as well
09:17.22bilarhi'm starting to sound like one of those people on the bbc debt programmes
09:17.29halibut you can just wait and spend the cash next month if you have to, you don't need *need* it asap
09:17.29bilarhwithout the debt, so far
09:17.36bilarhyeah i know
09:17.44bilarhi should be paid a decent amount of overtime this month, i hope
09:17.46halido you spend £8k a month on handbags? :)
09:17.52bilarhhehe :)
09:18.06bilarh8k a month on different shaded silicone hoses
09:18.14bilarhsilicone hosiery? :)
09:18.30haliim not sure if i feel sorry the suckers in those shows or if i just want to slap them
09:18.34halimostly slap i think
09:18.37bilarhwell, to be honest
09:18.45bilarhif i *really* didn't have the money, i wouldn't buy the stuff
09:18.50bilarhso i think we should just slap them
09:19.11halithey must either have some pshycological thing or just be *really* stupid
09:19.16bilarhif they get in to debt because they lose their jobs and have to feed their kids, then i don't really think they're being irresponsible
09:19.24bilarhbut to get into debt to buy clothes and handbags... sheesh
09:19.27bilarhor whatever the guys do
09:19.33halilike "i wasn't breast fed so now i need to find someone else to love me!"
09:19.44halii think thye buy handbags too
09:19.44bilarhoh yeah, some real corkers on that show :D
09:20.01bilarhspeaking of which...
09:20.17bilarhi loved the gambler who sued ladbrokes for him losing 2M :D
09:20.20bilarhwhat a plank
09:20.40bilarh"my life's been ruined because of ladbrokes"
09:20.53haliim against gambling so i don't really care
09:20.54bilarhlike, no, it's been ruiend because you placed stupid bets you couldn't afford to lose
09:20.59bilarhwell, i don't mind
09:21.05bilarhi'm all for personal responsibility
09:21.25bilarhif you fuck up because of gambling, don't come crying saying you lost all your money and it must be someone elses fault
09:21.28haliof course, but general gambling won't pay off if the system was perfect
09:21.38halibecause we need stupid kretins to loose in order for smart people to win :)
09:21.45bilarhit's possible to make a decent living off betfair for example
09:21.48bilarhyeah :P
09:21.53bilarheven i'm up on betfair
09:21.58bilarhonly about 20 quid, but still :D
09:22.04bilarhactually, it must be more than that
09:22.16bilarhi've probably placed around 50 quid in total deposits
09:22.22bilarhover a year and a half
09:22.31bilarhand i've withdrawn 100
09:22.38bilarhmaybe i should give up my day job :D
09:23.01LeedsI went to Macau at the weekend, came back having won about $700 in the casino
09:23.12Leeds45 quid or so
09:23.35Leedspaid for about half of the day trip - ferries, food and incidentals
09:23.54halii gamble a lot too actually, im staying in my current job! whats a gamble now when we've been owned by VC for a year and a half, not sure what they plan to do with us
09:24.09bilarhhali: exactly
09:24.13halii think ass rape is on the table :)
09:29.53LeedsI did lose around $5000 in Macau last summer...
09:30.05halinow i need to figure out how easy it is to move cpu's areound on sun v880 cpu boards
09:30.33*** join/#gllug huw-l (n=huw@w1199.insrv.cf.ac.uk)
09:31.34bilarhhali: soldering iron :D
09:32.24halii hope not
09:32.33halibought 4 new boards off ebay :D
09:32.44hali2x1200MHz/8Gb each
09:32.52haliall 4 cost £3200
09:33.07bilarhfeck me
09:33.14bilarhthey're like 32k from sun, aren't they
09:33.14halithey v880 with 2x900mhz procs cost around £40k a few years ago :)
09:33.16bilarhor was that for tw
09:33.18bilarho
09:33.32bilarhi remember when we put a couple of boards in when i worked for that "service provider"
09:33.36bilarhit cost a bloody bomb
09:33.38haliyes
09:33.43bilarhand didn't make a huge amount of difference anyway
09:33.45halithese are refurbished though
09:33.51bilarhso were the ones we got!
09:33.57bilarhyou can't buy brand new ones anymore
09:34.01bilarhit's all refurbished even via sun
09:34.09bilarhat least that's what i was told at the time
09:34.18haliah, via sun with warranty is probably a lot more expensive
09:34.25haliwe only got 90-days warranty
09:34.34haliit's only for development so im not to fussed
09:34.37halisybase :S
09:34.44bilarhah :)
09:35.17halibut it was from a "real" company and all
09:35.24halii was surprised how much prices have dropped
09:35.26bilarhthat's really cool actually
09:35.36bilarhi was quite surprised that it was still that expensive :D
09:35.42bilarhthe v880 is a POS imo
09:35.45halii had 3k in the budget to get 16Gb more ram for the box, got 8 new procs and 32Gb ram for that money
09:36.05haliv880's are pretty quick
09:36.08haliat least for sybase loads
09:36.11bilarhwhen you put it like that, it's good :D
09:36.18bilarhi hate them
09:36.30bilarheverywhere i've worked with them, they've been dog slow
09:36.30haliwe have them running in three zones with one sybase server in each
09:36.35bilarhat servista, at the bank, here
09:36.44halii think raid5 is the problem there
09:36.51bilarhno this was raid10
09:36.59bilarhat servista we had hardware raid10
09:37.02haliwe have 6 internal mirrored disks plus an external sun t3 fc enclosure
09:37.26bilarhoh you mean *here* here
09:37.26bilarhyeah, raid5 is a killer, but it's the network that sucks

12:40.18Ch0HagThey may even get my money.
12:50.29bilarhwhy don't you want to enable cookies?
12:57.54halior javascript?
12:58.19haliCh0Hag: are you a paranoid pot smoking perl coder or something? :)
13:02.34Ch0HagNo, I had it off because some site was being retarded.
13:03.18Ch0HagI just hadn't turned it on, but having a dress code is not the way to attract shoppers.
13:03.43Ch0HagLater on in the site, when ordering or some such starts demanding it could perhaps be considered acceptible, if pointless, but not right at the beginning.
13:28.37Ch0HagGNU's auto* is painfully horrible, but at least it makes some kind of morbid sense.
13:28.53Ch0HagI just changed a Makefile in a non-gnu project because the build failed, and now the build failed again because it changed it backe.

14:21.13Copehello wethrin
14:28.22bilarhok, i'll just have to whinge a bit about the earth quake and peoples reactions
14:28.33wethrinpeople reacted?
14:28.53Copewhat earth quake?
14:28.57bilarhfine, people are scared and shit of it, don't really have a massive problem with that
14:29.08wethrinCope: The one a couple of nights ago
14:29.08Cope-Enocontext
14:29.17bilarhbut there was this prize idiot interviewed on radio1 yesterday
14:29.29Copeenough said
14:29.41Coperadio1.... prize idiot.... why does that surprise you?
14:29.47bilarhand he said something along the lines "the house was shaking and there was noise, so we all walked out on the street because we thought it was a terrorist attack"
14:30.04bilarhffs, like, how is that the fucking first thing that comes to your mind?
14:30.26Copewhat were the alternatives?
14:30.32bilarhwell, i don' tknow...
14:30.40wethrinCope: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stm
14:30.44bilarhbut i wouldn't have thought "ooh, must be a terrorist"
14:31.07Copewell, in recent years, reasons for buildings to shake...
14:31.10Cope1) a bomb
14:31.13wethrinI thought it was a goods train going past, as the house normally shakes when one passes. Then realised that there wasn't actually a trani going past. So fell asleep.
14:31.14Cope2) erm... a bomb
14:31.33Copehrm.... was it in the vening?
14:31.47wethrin1am
14:31.51bilarhi personally thought it was a *paedophile terrorist*
14:31.55wethrinWell, 0052 or so
14:32.16bilarhthis country is full of the, dontcha know? hiding under every bush and in every alley way
14:32.27bilarhs/the/them/
14:32.57bilarhthe government and press should stop scaring normal people all the time... i think that would make this country better
14:33.30wethrinStop people reading the Daily Mail, and the Di-ly Express
14:33.37bilarhand the sun
14:33.46wethrinEh, the Sun mostly takes the piss
14:33.46Copey'know i was up then, and i did notice plates and glasses rattle

15:44.41BlaptoMy fave was a guy on the register who commented that his girlfriend woke up with "What's going on?  Is it the cat?"
15:44.45dick_turpinbilarh: When the Dudley one happened I was asleep, it woke me up and I thought it was a plane crash!!
15:45.08bilarhdudleeeeeeyyy
15:45.13bilarhsorry, had to say it :D
15:45.17dick_turpinbilarh: (We get a lot of planes going to Birm airport)
15:45.30bilarhhow about burning 4x4's?
15:45.42dick_turpinbilarh: ?
15:45.54bilarhor was that scotland?
15:46.10dick_turpinbilarh: Scotland you Muppet
15:46.45bilarhwell, you know what these terrorist lurking in every nook and cranny are like
15:46.57bilarhmind, in birmingham it's mroe likely to be the local hoodie joy riders
15:47.40dick_turpinbilarh: Um /me needs to be careful, more like yarddies (Spelling?)
15:48.02bilarhi thought that was brixton?
15:48.14bilarhor have i got my minorities wrong?
15:48.54dick_turpinbilarh: We seem to get a lot of shootings just lately, drive by's ect
15:49.17bilarhi read in the daily mail that it was due to terrorist training camps
15:49.43starshinerofl @ "is that the cat?" -> quake
15:49.59dick_turpinbilarh: Rotfl did you see them Muppets jumping over a stream yelling stuff, very funny
15:50.09bilarhno? :)

15:50.32starshineI did know someone once who got landed on by the books of a bookshelf during quake
15:50.46starshineshe'd been at a swell party the night before and was staying-over on the couch
15:51.08starshineso the shelf waqs just above her and it's strapped proper but the books all leapt to their doooooom
15:52.29starshineher *thinking* self took it all in stride and found it very funny actually, but...
15:53.09starshine...she couldn't make herself sleep indoors except in a huuuuge empty room.

15:56.27Blaptosecretlondon, what's public sector work then?
15:56.35bilarhsecretlondon: sometimes they don't bother for a while, i think

21:44.00DiscordianHmmm elonix are doing a new 99 quid notebook
21:44.35secretlondonooh
21:44.44secretlondonwhats the spec?
21:45.35DiscordianNot disclosed as yet
21:46.33secretlondonpresume its a sub notebook thing
21:47.13secretlondonsounds cool though - I could actually afford that ;)
21:47.35wethrinThere's better things to spend money on...
21:50.14secretlondonreally?
21:50.14secretlondonlike food and rent I suppose
21:50.25secretlondonthen cool geek toys
21:50.37secretlondon99 quid notebook = 12 pizzas
21:51.34wethrinmmm....pizzas
21:51.39z00daxmmm pizza
21:52.57secretlondonmmm sub notebook
21:53.33z00daxwhat kind of ram des the ultra/10 use ?
21:54.01halisun ram
21:54.19halii have 4gb ram that fits in a ultra60 if you have one
21:54.21halior can get one
21:54.26halior ultra 80
21:54.39haliactually, i have a spare 420r to take the ram from so got cpu's as well if you need
21:54.54halior ultra2 or ultra30
21:54.59haliultra2 is ace
21:55.11hali10 times better than u10/u5
21:56.24haliultra 1e is not a bad box
21:56.30halithe original ultra 1 is a bit boring
21:56.34halislow scsi and only 10mbit ethernet
21:56.36secretlondonand 6 sparcstation 20s in a wardrobe
21:56.43haliblimey
21:56.52haligood machines in their days
21:56.55halibut not much fun now
21:58.10z00daxthe ultra10 is the only machine I have, and tbh I dont think I want any more sparc machines
21:58.20z00daxunless its something I can actually replace my desktop with
21:58.40z00daxor if its a t2000 or something, but those cost a bomb
21:58.56cpufreakthey're obsolete too
21:59.18cpufreakreally can't' be arsed with sparc shit anymore, there is no point
22:00.00cpufreaksure they're 32 threads in 1U (T1000), but they're 32 very slow threads
22:00.10wethrinhali: I have a U60. If you have spare RAM......
22:00.27cpufreakwhen I can have 8 cores of Xeon, or Optron in 1U instead, which are all very fast... its a non brainer
22:00.44cpufreakI've got a Sun Blade 2000 workstation if anyone wants it
22:00.50cpufreakbut not quite for free
22:00.59secretlondoni've been thinking I could use the ultra 1 to build SPARC thungs on
22:00.59secretlondonthings
22:01.15cpufreakits a Ultra III 1.06GHz, 2GB RAM, 73GB FCAL hard disk, and some fancy frame buffer
22:01.33haliwethrin: sure
22:01.36wethrinsecretlondon: Only if you want to be able to go and have a holiday while something's compiling
22:01.44wethrinhali: Hurrah. Will you be at the meeting on the 15th?
22:02.07haliwethrin: i can take 2 18gb drives, 4x450mhz procs and 4gb ram from the 420r if needed
22:02.08wethrincpufreak: That sounds like it could be fairly nippy
22:02.14haliwethrin: possibly, not sure
22:02.22cpufreakwethrin: yes. but its sparc. :)
22:02.22z00daxcpufreak: what would you consider a reasonable price ?
22:02.26wethrinI have drives, procs, and all that
22:02.32wethrincpufreak: Yeah. It'd be faster than a 1GHz P3 :)
22:03.06cpufreakz00dax: um well I paid 700quid for it back in 2005
22:03.34halii *may* have some ran that fits in the b2000
22:03.38halifrom a 280r
22:03.50halinot sure if that is officially scrapped yet
22:04.10cpufreak~25% of what I paid would be nice
22:04.30halithats a very generous price
22:04.39halii would value it at 300 or so
22:04.52halibut it is for a good cause
22:05.07z00daxI still cant afford it. :/
22:06.31haliz00dax: what about wethrin's u60 and some of my old junk?
22:06.52z00daxi didnt think wethrin wanted to let go of his u60 ?
22:07.18haliah, perhaps not? i read between the lines as if he offered it :)
22:07.59halii mean i have the 420r if that is any good, it's pretty much a u80 in a bigger chassi
22:08.06haliwith dual psu
22:08.20Discordian420Rs are good kit
22:08.26halii think i may even have two, one with a1000 array, if th recyclers haven't taken that
22:08.34wethrinhali: No, I was after memory :)
22:09.31cpufreakI sent him, and a couple of other guys there to bring back a couple of transit vans worth of kit.
22:09.39secretlondonwethrin: I know. and tbh I'd have to stick ultralinux on it and that makes openbsd looks easy to install and user friendly
22:09.41wethrinyay kit!
22:09.50z00daxhali: maybe :) how much ram does it have ? and a disk ? how about a display card ?
22:09.53wethrinOpenBSD *is* easy to install
22:10.03cpufreakmostly x4100s and x2200s
22:10.03cpufreakand a few more interesting things
22:10.54haliz00dax: maxed out, 4gb ram, 4 cpu, no frame buffer though, qfe ethernet and diff scsi pci cards
22:11.05hali2x18gb but not sure i can give you the disks
22:11.48z00daxhali: that might work for me. I have a couple of disks 9gb sorts that could be used
22:14.05haligot some netra t1's too
22:14.09halibut they are fairly shit
22:14.15hali1U boxes with 512megs
22:14.28wethrinI quite like them
22:15.41wethrinThey're generally reliable little beasts
22:15.59haliyes but slow to do dev work on

23:04.23secretlondonhttp://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/02/19/elonex_guns_for_eee/
23:05.34DiscordianIt's not nearly as powerful as the eee
23:05.41secretlondon"300MHz LNX Code 8 processor"
23:05.52Discordianand no one seems to know anything about the CPU
23:05.52secretlondonwhatever wtf that is
23:07.39DiscordianHmmm
23:07.48DiscordianIt may be ARM
23:10.23secretlondonooh
23:10.30secretlondonstrongarm or something
23:10.39DiscordianPossibly
23:12.26Discordianmaybe FPGA arm core if it is produced by Elonex
23:16.00DiscordianHmmm
23:16.33DiscordianOkay LNX is the stock symbol for Lennox Holdings
23:17.09secretlondon"                                                 The price is also achieved with a request to the
23:17.11secretlondongovernment to make the product VAT exempt & support from corporate sponsors whom are currently
23:17.11secretlondongoing through the selection process.
23:17.11secretlondon"
23:18.05secretlondonso if the govt charge VAT (very likely) and they don't get corporate sponsorship it will be more than £99
23:18.05Discordianheh
23:18.23Discordianwell so it's gonna be >£99
23:19.05secretlondonthis is from the press release
23:19.31DiscordianIt doesn't look that impressive
23:19.37secretlondonthere is 0 chance the govt will make it vat except
23:19.38secretlondonexcempt
23:19.52Discordianquite so
23:20.03secretlondonit's in between a pda and a laptop
23:20.19Discordianlaptop form factor
23:20.25Discordianpda tech
23:20.29secretlondonthat's why I wonder if it's an arm, as 300Mhz is not dreadful for a pda /smart phone
23:20.50Discordianthat's why I think it's arm too
23:21.43secretlondontheir press stuff makes a big thing about it being open source
23:21.56secretlondonand some stuff about 1/100 will be donated to deprived children
23:22.02Discordianaye
23:22.21DiscordianIt's the OLPC market space
23:22.32Nafallobaah
23:22.41NafalloI want the new EeePC :-)
23:22.44secretlondonwell debian has an arm port
23:22.49Discordianexcept the OLPC is much more innovative
23:22.55secretlondonso ubuntu will have to use that to make ONEbuntu
