| 02:05.23 | secretlondon | hi |
| 02:05.36 | secretlondon | z00dax, yes Discordian was in hospital, I didn't know |
| 02:05.57 | Discordian | I was for 7 days |
| 02:06.03 | Discordian | Till friday |
| 02:07.03 | Discordian | is backing stuff up so I can run fedora 9 when it ships |
| 02:08.49 | Discordian | i didn't know I was gonna be hospitalised till friday |
| 02:09.30 | Discordian | grumbles about Patientline who do TV/net access at the hospital |
| 02:09.50 | Discordian | And took my money and didn't deliver |
| 02:11.31 | secretlondon | people would have come and visited you, if we'd known |
| 02:11.48 | Discordian | Aww that's kind of you |
| 02:12.08 | Discordian | I was allowed to come home and grab a laptop |
| 02:12.30 | Discordian | But patientline block all sites they don't know |
| 02:12.53 | Discordian | So none of the web->IRC places work |
| 02:13.13 | Discordian | and I couldn't ssh to anywhere I have a shell |
| 02:13.34 | Discordian | And it was down most of the time |
| 02:15.36 | Discordian | I was very impressed http://www,radiotimes.beeb.com caused it to reboot |
| 02:23.15 | Discordian | Still I did get to read some dead-tree books :-( |
| 02:27.43 | secretlondon | I hate web filtering with a passion |
| 02:27.56 | Discordian | Likewise |
| 02:28.16 | Discordian | They were only allowing white-listed sites |
| 02:29.19 | Discordian | On my way out I discovered there was an open AP on the ground floor |
| 02:29.31 | Discordian | I wish I'd known that earlier |

| 12:57.50 | Discordian | wonders why tis so quiet |
| 13:01.34 | boudiccas | tis a warm sunday afternoon, ideal for a salad in the garden or a bbq |
| 13:02.50 | Discordian | I guess so |
| 13:03.53 | boudiccas | me, i stay in the dark and cool as my eyes are photosensitive and it partially negates my hayfever |
| 13:04.23 | Discordian | I'll make use of my ADSL while I still have it |
| 13:04.45 | Discordian | and there's far too many yobs out anyway |
| 13:05.37 | Discordian | and my toe hurts too much anyway |
| 13:10.28 | boudiccas | your toe? what have you done to it? |
| 13:11.39 | Discordian | it's gangrenous apparently, been in hospital for a week |
| 13:40.03 | boudiccas | ooh, thats not good |
| 13:40.28 | boudiccas | especially not with your diabetes! do you see a chiropodist regulalrly? |
| 14:01.21 | Discordian | i saw one the other week |
| 14:02.32 | boudiccas | regularly as in once a month? |
| 14:02.51 | boudiccas | sorry to be so nosy and pushy, its the nurse coming out in me :) |
| 14:03.18 | Discordian | BT disconnected my phone too |
| 14:03.52 | boudiccas | ah, thats not good. the internet is a valuable source of support |
| 14:04.14 | Discordian | well adsl works but not calls in or out |
| 14:04.32 | boudiccas | skype? |
| 14:05.08 | Discordian | I have that setup |
| 14:06.51 | Discordian | I have a phone interview Monday might have to do it via Skype |

| 19:31.09 | Discordian | i've forgotten how to do PPP over USB on linux |
| 19:31.30 | boudicca | should've written it down and posted it in your blog :) |
| 19:31.30 | AndyMillar | ;p |
| 19:33.20 | Discordian | Sadly linux is really bad at backwards compatability |
| 19:38.21 | hali | Hi |
| 19:38.29 | Discordian | lo |
| 19:38.53 | hali | hm, quite annoying |
| 19:39.09 | Discordian | what is? |
| 19:39.16 | hali | i work all day, go for a few drinks and as soon as i got home my mother phones |
| 19:39.40 | hali | so she hear my, totally pisssed, slagging off my work etc |
| 19:39.51 | Discordian | if my mum phoned I'd worry |
| 19:40.01 | Discordian | She died in 1991 |
| 19:40.07 | hali | im sorry |
| 19:40.18 | Discordian | No need to be |
| 19:40.24 | hali | now, i need some time to download smut |
| 19:41.23 | hali | googles "naked ladies in to linux loving geeks with less than average fore arms" |
| 19:42.04 | Discordian | An intriguingly unique genre |
| 19:42.22 | hali | very niche |
| 19:42.33 | hali | however |
| 19:42.34 | Discordian | yuss |
| 19:42.49 | hali | i read somwhere that 'geeks' are the cuddlies lovers, very un-selfish |
| 19:43.30 | secretlondon | sounds nice |
| 19:43.38 | hali | i hope so |
| 19:43.45 | Discordian | i like cuddles and hugs |
| 19:44.01 | Discordian | it's not an offer , hali |
| 19:44.11 | hali | thansk for clearifying ;) |
| 19:44.24 | Discordian | np |
| 19:44.45 | hali | i was more hoping for quiet evening in, perhaps building an rpm or two, a good movie, good food, and a cuddle ... with a _lady_ |
| 19:44.57 | hali | fuck me that sounds nerdy :D |
| 19:45.17 | hali | ok, im going back to my googling |
| 19:45.43 | Discordian | Women that find building rpms romantic are perhaps a very small minority |
| 19:46.45 | hali | yes, i know, most girls are in to ubuntu and .deb's :( |
| 19:46.48 | catalyst | oh, anything can be romantic if you've a poetic soul :) |
| 19:47.31 | Discordian | likes Blake and Surrealist poety |
| 19:47.38 | Discordian | poetry |
| 19:47.43 | hali | actually, my non-computer-interested sister just bought an eeepc 700 and phone me up and told me it 'sort of' never crashsed |
| 19:47.54 | catalyst | :o |
| 19:48.17 | hali | she was on the market for a general laptop and just bought the eee because it was 'cute' |
| 19:48.23 | hali | and now, it just 'works' |
| 19:48.35 | secretlondon | I much prefer debs |
| 19:48.47 | hali | just my luck |
| 19:48.52 | Discordian | my ex bought an iMac cos it was pretty |
| 19:48.58 | AndyMillar | secretlondon: debs <3 |
| 19:49.00 | catalyst | I personally prefer msis |
| 19:49.04 | secretlondon | good food and cuddles are good too |
| 19:49.09 | catalyst | runs into the thames |
| 19:49.19 | Discordian | I bought one cos I wanted to run OS 9 |
| 19:50.04 | Discordian | Mmm good food |
| 19:50.20 | hali | i bought a mac because it was cheap, bought it from the apple refurv store, then i sold it simply because i didnt have a use for it :( |
| 19:50.24 | Discordian | tried mole sauce recently |
| 19:50.29 | hali | refurb* |
| 19:51.02 | Discordian | i've a bog standard desktop that errm runs OS X |
| 19:51.18 | Discordian | amongst other things |
| 19:51.25 | Discordian | as well as a g4 mac |
| 19:51.25 | hali | hackintosh? |
| 19:51.29 | Discordian | Yeah |
| 19:51.35 | hali | it looks ok |
| 19:51.58 | Discordian | I patched tiger to make it run |
| 19:51.59 | hali | i have to admit that i run vista at the moment and i haven't even upgraded my ubuntu partition to 8.04 |
| 19:52.14 | hali | on the other hand, all i run is ssh and firefox |
| 19:52.30 | Discordian | i use F7 mostly and F8 for some stuff |
| 19:52.37 | hali | is actually getting quite fond of SSL VPN |
| 19:52.42 | Discordian | I have vista too on this box |
| 19:52.48 | Discordian | openVPN? |
| 19:53.01 | hali | ssl explorer |
| 19:53.08 | Discordian | ahhh |
| 19:53.14 | hali | it's pretty much ssh port forwarding but over plain https |
| 19:53.32 | hali | i.e. you can publish terminal servers and stuff over https without actually using ipsec |
| 19:53.35 | hali | very handy |
| 19:53.41 | Discordian | i did openVPN last place I worked |
| 19:53.56 | hali | we have loads of money whenever the PO says cisco :( |
| 19:54.00 | Discordian | IPSEC is a tad heavy duty |
| 19:54.02 | hali | so i use the ASA cisco stuff |
| 19:54.45 | hali | tbh im so fed up with cisco atm |
| 19:54.58 | hali | all i've done in the last few weeks is configuring cisco kit :( |
| 19:55.05 | Discordian | though at least it's mainstream and not FreeSWAN now |
| 19:55.11 | Discordian | which was a pain |
| 19:56.37 | hali | ok, enough nerding |
| 19:58.12 | hali | i should update my ubuntu install so i can impress secretlondon |
| 19:58.46 | secretlondon | I've just got my set of hardy cds to give to the anarchists |
| 19:59.40 | Discordian | I shall to do a day zero d/l of F9 32 and 64 bit |
| 19:59.45 | Discordian | on the 13th |
| 20:14.50 | Discordian | gah |
| 20:15.21 | Discordian | export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL isn't working for this binary |
| 20:22.05 | secretlondon | Discordian, isn't that defunct? |
| 20:22.15 | secretlondon | or am I thinking of something else |
| 20:22.30 | Discordian | It still works |
| 20:22.34 | secretlondon | has flashbacks to configuring old Loki games, and you end up using old libs |
| 20:22.49 | Discordian | I used it for Oracle |
| 20:23.12 | Discordian | However it's not working for this |
| 20:46.32 | AndyMillar | hmm |
| 20:46.33 | AndyMillar | stress -t 2h -c 4 -i 4 -m 4 -d 4 --hdd-bytes 4GB |
| 20:46.39 | AndyMillar | should give a server a fairly good workout, shouldn't it? |
| 21:28.16 | Nafallo | hmm |
| 21:28.26 | Nafallo | I ran it with a log more then that :-) |
| 21:28.31 | Nafallo | lot even |
| 21:29.37 | Nafallo | stress --cpu 100 --io 200 --vm 200 |
| 21:29.39 | Nafallo | :-P |
| 21:30.16 | AndyMillar | heh |
| 21:30.20 | AndyMillar | think it needs that many? :p |
| 21:30.42 | Nafallo | well. I tried less first and the damn thing didn't even bothered :-) |
| 21:31.03 | Nafallo | s/did/was/ |
| 21:31.20 | Nafallo | good bot! :-D |
| 21:32.40 | Nafallo | ibot: botsnack |
| 21:32.40 | ibot | Nafallo: thanks |
| 21:38.20 | AndyMillar | Nafallo: mmh, in that case i'll ramp it up afterwards ;) |
| 21:38.27 | AndyMillar | --vm 200 seems a little silly though |
| 21:38.30 | AndyMillar | as you'll be swapping |
| 21:38.34 | AndyMillar | which is a bit pointless |
| 21:38.42 | Nafallo | I had 10GB to swap on :-) |
| 21:38.53 | Discordian | disk? |
| 21:38.53 | Nafallo | after 8GB of physical DDR2 :-) |
| 21:39.01 | Discordian | Disk is slow |
| 21:39.19 | Nafallo | 4x15k SAS in hw RAID5 :-) |
| 21:39.29 | Nafallo | as first partition |
| 21:39.36 | Discordian | I'd be ashamed to use swap in production |
| 21:39.45 | Discordian | On Linux anyway |
| 21:40.00 | AndyMillar | heh |
| 21:40.04 | Nafallo | yea. still wanted to try how good it was at using it if necessary :-) |
| 21:40.07 | AndyMillar | this box has 2GB RAM at the moment |
| 21:40.18 | AndyMillar | i'll put more in when it needs it |
| 21:40.30 | Discordian | Other nixes reserve swap for running processes |
| 21:40.47 | AndyMillar | it's only £130/2GB |
