08:26.59 | ChoHag | Somebody has written a script to be run by cron which contains a function calling nail to report errors. |
08:29.06 | ChoHag | That seems ... odd. |
08:30.26 | blight | nail? |
08:47.37 | z00dax | nail is good |
08:47.47 | z00dax | ChoHag: whats odd aboit it ? |
08:49.05 | z00dax | blight: nail is a good cli email sending app, main adv for me is that it handles attachments etc quite well |
08:55.29 | blight | z00dax: oh okay |
09:10.47 | ChoHag | Why use a non-standard programme to send an email when printing to stdout is quite sufficient? |
09:11.31 | ChoHag | It seems misguided to me. |
09:11.49 | z00dax | sounds like a question to ask the author |
09:12.16 | z00dax | although i would imagine that script started life as a non cron jobbie |
09:12.35 | ChoHag | He is no longer employed. |
09:16.20 | z00dax | ok, gotta goto work time |
09:16.27 | Blapto | Stop using goto |
09:18.21 | ChoHag | Nothing wrong with goto. |

11:41.20 | dick_turpin | bilarh: ! |
11:41.33 | bilarh | what up, turpin? |
11:42.03 | dick_turpin | bilarh: I assure you there's nothing up me :-P |
11:42.32 | bilarh | did you extract the "rubber implement"? |
11:43.01 | dick_turpin | Yeah, I take it you need it back? |
11:43.19 | bilarh | nah keep it, i need a bigger one |
11:43.23 | dick_turpin | I'm an RPM kinda guy :-) |

11:56.50 | Discordian | At least now I have leccy for the weekend |
11:56.56 | ChoHag | RPM is some sort of rubber implement? |
11:57.05 | ChoHag | Does that explain why I dislike suse so? |
11:57.42 | Discordian | Yay for rpm and yum |
11:57.51 | Discordian | hates Suse though |
11:58.31 | ChoHag | I will persuade them to change where feasible (ie. not the Oracle servers I think) |
11:58.34 | ChoHag | Anyway. |
11:58.34 | ChoHag | lunches |
11:58.34 | bilarh | hali: hello? |
11:59.12 | Discordian | Oracle works happily enough on RHEL/centos/fedora |
11:59.32 | Blapto | <PROTECTED> |
12:00.33 | Discordian | Indeed |
12:00.51 | Discordian | I ;like opensolaris a lot |
12:02.38 | dick_turpin | bilarh: How'd you like your new Mayor then? Missing Ken yet? |
12:03.37 | bilarh | dick_turpin: it's great, i don't get worked up into a rage every morning now, like i did before reading about ken's stupid ideas |
12:04.01 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Give it time |
12:04.31 | bilarh | hopefully boris isn't *as* fascist as that tosser ken at least |
12:04.38 | Blapto | HATES bendy buses |
12:04.41 | bilarh | but let's be honest, things can only improve from ken |
12:04.47 | Blapto | Why don't they just get the bendy bus |
12:04.48 | bilarh | nails his colours to the mast |
12:04.50 | Blapto | Take the back bit |
12:04.54 | Blapto | Put it on top of the front bit |
12:04.59 | Blapto | and put a staircase between them |
12:05.13 | Blapto | Same seating capacity, half as much space on the road used! Great! |
12:05.39 | bilarh | blapto: exactly, it sucks overtaking those bendy busses when i'm out driving in my car |
12:05.50 | dick_turpin | bilarh: While I no longer live down there Ken always gave me the feeling he was passionate about London |
12:05.57 | Blapto | And they make life so much harder for pedestrians |
12:05.58 | bilarh | almost every time i have to run over a pedestrian because they don't get out of the way fast enough |
12:06.08 | hali | bilarh: hello? |
12:06.10 | bilarh | it was better before, when pedestrians knew their place |
12:06.10 | Blapto | Half the time, the back half of a bendy bus is over the crossing I want to use |
12:06.28 | bilarh | hali: hey sexy, whatcha doin tomorrow? |
12:06.54 | hali | bilarh: hm, not sure |
12:07.07 | bilarh | dick_turpin: passionate about fucking everyone up the arse |
12:07.29 | bilarh | hali: starbucks / beer / soho thai / lahores in the evening? |
12:07.37 | hali | bilarh: ack, sounds good |
12:07.40 | bilarh | lahores is a restaurant, before anyone starts |
12:07.51 | bilarh | at least that's what i keep telling my wife |
12:08.10 | hali | yes, the red light in the window is just a theme thing |
12:08.34 | bilarh | i quite fancy bodeans actually |
12:08.37 | bilarh | has the city branch opened yet? |
12:08.43 | hali | not that i know of |
12:08.47 | hali | the soho one is good though |
12:08.50 | bilarh | ah :( |
12:08.53 | bilarh | but always full |
12:09.11 | Blapto | lahore is very good |
12:09.17 | Blapto | Tayyab is nice too, if you haven't been there yet |
12:09.21 | bilarh | how posh is it, though? |
12:09.27 | Blapto | tayyab? |
12:09.30 | hali | tayyab is in whitechapel though |
12:09.32 | bilarh | no lahores |
12:09.35 | hali | i live 5 mins from in it |
12:09.39 | bilarh | i *think* i've een there |
12:09.41 | bilarh | but i'm not sure |
12:09.42 | Blapto | lahores isn't posh at all |
12:09.50 | Blapto | well, there are 3 of them, I think |
12:09.52 | bilarh | is it that thing that looks a bit like a school diner? |
12:10.03 | hali | no, thats waggamama |
12:10.07 | bilarh | down the side street from one of the dodgiest looking "bigger" roads i've ever seen? |
12:10.18 | bilarh | white tiles on the floor? |
12:10.21 | Blapto | bilarh: you're being very vague |
12:10.29 | Blapto | What food did you have in there? |
12:10.35 | hali | well, i remember there being a floor |
12:10.37 | bilarh | i don't know... someone else ordered :) |
12:10.41 | Blapto | Lahore is Indian.. |
12:10.45 | Blapto | Well, what did you eat? |
12:10.45 | bilarh | all sorts of stuff |
12:10.47 | bilarh | yeah yeah of course :) |
12:10.59 | bilarh | nan's, poppadoms, loads of skewers with meat etc |
12:11.00 | Blapto | And Wagamama is japanese |
12:11.06 | Blapto | So not wagamama |
12:11.12 | bilarh | no that's what i'm saying |
12:11.15 | bilarh | i think it was lahores |
12:11.17 | bilarh | but i'm not sure |
12:11.29 | bilarh | it's not on brick lane, right? |
12:11.35 | hali | no |
12:11.39 | bilarh | but a lot further to the east |
12:12.34 | Blapto | yes |
12:12.36 | hali | 'loads of skewers' sounds like tayyeb |
12:12.51 | hali | their speciality is bbq skewers |
12:12.52 | Blapto | Tayyab, you wouldn't notice what colour the floor was |
12:12.56 | Blapto | It's too dark :) |
12:13.01 | bilarh | ok it wasn't that then :) |
12:13.02 | Blapto | Lamb chops in there are fantastic |
12:17.37 | secretlondon | the problem with upstairs on buses is that no-ones uses it - that's where you get feral children |
12:17.53 | bilarh | secretlondon: easy, ban children from using the buses |
12:17.58 | Discordian | I hate upstairs on buses |
12:18.10 | bilarh | i hate children |
12:18.33 | Discordian | But downstairs is fine |
12:18.34 | bilarh | does his best to provide balanced arguements |
12:18.50 | secretlondon | I never go upstairs |
12:18.53 | Blapto | bilarh was born aged 32 |
12:19.19 | Discordian | wishes the PDA would pick up the wifi |
12:19.22 | bilarh | why don't you go upstairs, though? |
12:19.30 | bilarh | there's always loads of seats |
12:19.45 | secretlondon | the stairs, the hassle, the wankers |
12:19.47 | Discordian | I hate heights |
12:19.51 | secretlondon | downstairs much better |
12:19.58 | bilarh | and the kids seem to be more interested in stabbing themselves than others anyway |
12:20.08 | bilarh | secretlondon: fair enough |
