11:30.45kjalilsecretlondon: hi
11:30.54secretlondonhi
11:30.57kjalilsecretlondon: what are these colours you are referring to?
11:31.07secretlondonkjalil, my hsdpa modem
11:31.19secretlondongreen is grps, blue is 3g, and cyan is hsdpa
11:31.32secretlondonit sometimes gets stuck on gprs and needs unplugging to fix
11:31.42kjalilsecretlondon: ah. which modem is it? vodafone I think?
11:31.49secretlondonvodafone huawei e270
11:32.04secretlondonapparently they now give out the e272
11:32.05kjalilsecretlondon: and which plan? their mobile broadband?
11:32.30secretlondonyeah mobile broadband, but as an "early adopter" I have a £30/month contract
11:32.56kjalilsecretlondon: i was wondering about their mobile broadband which uses a usb stick thingy. is that actually just using hsdpa?
11:33.14secretlondonbut the newer £15/month contracts seem to be charged £15 per extra GB, I am not charged extra for going over the 'fair use' policy
11:33.22secretlondonkjalil, it's hsdpa and hsupa
11:33.35secretlondonbut 7.2 isn't available outside central London I think
11:33.49kjalilsecretlondon: so you have the usb one, or the other external one?
11:33.50secretlondonbut I get more than 3g speeds
11:33.54secretlondonits a usb one
11:34.31kjalilsecretlondon: how can they give such high download speeds over 3g?
11:34.48secretlondonits hsdpa
11:35.02kjalilis not familiar with the difference
11:35.21secretlondonit's 3.5g according to marketing people
11:36.42secretlondonwikipedia has a page on hsdpa
11:36.42kjalilsecretlondon: ok, will check later
11:38.06kjalilsecretlondon: have you got a howto for this modem in linux?
11:38.17secretlondoni
11:38.38secretlondonI've written up how I did it, or vodafone have some linux drivers on their beta forge side
11:38.55secretlondondepends a lot on your kernel tbh
11:40.14kjalilsecretlondon: why don't you run your irc using irssi + screen remotely. that way you will stay logged in to irc
11:40.31secretlondonkjalil, because I much prefer xchat
11:40.40kjalilah
11:41.02secretlondonand also when I go out and leave myself logged in people on #tux4kids think I'm around (even when I set away)
11:41.48secretlondonbut I don't like irssi
11:41.56secretlondongtk ftw!
11:42.15antiphaseirssi rules, fyi
11:42.33antiphaseLack of graphical emoticons is always a win
11:42.51Nafalloxchat can use irssi
11:45.28secretlondonI never use graphical emoticons, and I'm not even sure xchat has them
11:47.44AndyMillarthey are the most annoying thing man has ever made
12:06.59haliirssi+screen ftw
