19:00.11 | phobus | i know i live in a London work here and i started to study redhat |
19:00.25 | phobus | shall i leave? |
19:00.30 | shevek_ | boudiccas, I'm trying to be "cool" |
19:00.37 | boudiccas | why should you, i use centos |
19:00.45 | shevek_ | boudiccas, you poor bastard |
19:00.47 | boudiccas | which is a rhel derivative |

19:01.32 | phobus | :) |
19:01.33 | boudiccas | phobus; you ought to update it to 5.2 |
19:02.12 | phobus | no i have it but i didnt know to get up my xorg |
19:02.22 | catalyst | actually, women can be bastards |
19:02.40 | boudiccas | catalyst; i'm not going to bitch about it :) |
19:02.58 | catalyst | seeing as how a bastard is "the illegitimate offspring of unmarried parents" (= |
19:03.11 | shevek_ | has xorg AND knows how to get it up. |
19:03.13 | catalyst | so, actually there's probably a steadily increasing number of bastards in our culture |
19:03.33 | shevek_ | catalyst, In that sense, boudiccas is right, since women were traditionally not lineage. |
19:03.39 | shevek_ | I don't know. |
19:04.05 | catalyst | shevek_: err, except that unless something strange is going on I don't know about, women are still offspring :P |

19:10.40 | mindbendr | i hate OSS |
19:11.06 | boudiccas | mindbendr; leave it on the side of your plate then. no one is forcing you to eat it! :) |
19:11.30 | shevek_ | OSS sucks, both the open sound system and all open sores software |
19:11.43 | mindbendr | boudiccas: no alsa support my hardware and no flash player for 64bit except swfdect |
19:11.45 | shevek_ | You should pay me all your money and I will give you slightly shitter software without the sores. |
19:11.51 | mindbendr | how the hell am i gonna watch youtube. |
19:12.01 | shevek_ | mindbendr, You can get porn off bittorrent too |
19:12.23 | mindbendr | shevek_: no preview for bittorrent though |

19:15.57 | DiscordianUK | I access whatevr I want on the web |
19:15.59 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: I spent the day compiling swfdec with oss support, OSS works fine relatively for other apps but when it comes to firefox/swfdec |
19:16.06 | DiscordianUK | I use linux |
19:16.58 | boudiccas | i think that mindbendr uses ubuntu |
19:16.59 | DiscordianUK | Hang on |
19:17.13 | DiscordianUK | Yeuww |
19:17.14 | mindbendr | i just hear a bump sound and it gives `Failed to write fragment` error and says `/dev/dsp failed to open` |
19:17.22 | mindbendr | it's fedora |
19:17.35 | DiscordianUK | I compile stuff all the time |
19:17.35 | boudiccas | mindbendr; which version of fedora |
19:17.38 | mindbendr | 9 |
19:17.43 | DiscordianUK | which fedora? |
19:18.00 | DiscordianUK | Errr |
19:18.09 | mindbendr | but there's no oss support for swfdec that is being shipped with fedora so I compiled it |
19:18.12 | DiscordianUK | I can watch youtube |
19:18.25 | mindbendr | it plays fine just no sound |
19:18.33 | DiscordianUK | This is Fedora 9 |
19:18.49 | DiscordianUK | I have perfectly excellent ound |
19:18.51 | mindbendr | with oss sound system? |
19:18.53 | DiscordianUK | sound |
19:18.56 | DiscordianUK | No |
19:18.59 | mindbendr | uhhh |
19:19.01 | DiscordianUK | Not OSS |
19:19.10 | DiscordianUK | That's old and broken |
19:19.11 | mindbendr | > is there anybody using oss/swfdec |
19:19.21 | shevek_ | mindbendr, What hardware have you with no alsa? |
19:19.27 | mindbendr | shevek_: creative x-fi |
19:19.48 | shevek_ | mindbendr, Given that most Creative cards aren't worth the paper they're printed on, have you considered just buying a better sound card for 20 quid or so? |
19:20.10 | mindbendr | shevek_: I bought it 1-2 years ago |
19:20.21 | DiscordianUK | oss also means open source software |
19:20.21 | mindbendr | shevek_: and the sound quality is pretty good |
19:20.28 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: sorry, right.. |
19:20.42 | shevek_ | mindbendr, Sure, in that league, Creative is pretty good, but that's the 5-quid league. |
19:21.06 | mindbendr | shevek_: lol i spent a fortune for the time being |
19:21.09 | shevek_ | For 30 quid, you can get a Delta 66. |
19:21.16 | shevek_ | which really _is_ a good card. |
19:21.32 | mindbendr | shevek_: and what do i get for that? no latency etc? I just play music and sometimes i play games |
19:21.45 | shevek_ | mindbendr, You get a good quality sound card which never distorts, and is ALSA supported. |
19:21.54 | mindbendr | shevek_: but i'm really obsessed about the quality when i'm listening music |
19:22.02 | shevek_ | mindbendr, So why the FUCK are you using a creative card? |
19:22.13 | shevek_ | And also, why the FUCK don't you own a Delta 66 already? |
19:22.13 | mindbendr | shevek_: but i don't do any music production so is it necessary to buy a new one |
19:22.23 | shevek_ | Is Alsa support worth 30 quid? |
19:22.34 | mindbendr | shevek_: i asked one of my musician friends and he recommended it |
19:22.43 | DiscordianUK | D'uh |
19:22.44 | shevek_ | Is this friend "resting"? |
19:23.02 | mindbendr | shevek_: lol yeah he's talented though |
19:23.15 | DiscordianUK | Pulse is in fact the Fedora 9 driver of choice |
19:23.30 | shevek_ | Right. Well, I've given my advice, and there are some as would say I'm qualified to give it. Whether you take it is up to you. |
19:23.44 | mindbendr | shevek_: I will do, thanks |
19:24.13 | mindbendr | I have to convince my self that this hardware is not working somehow lol |
19:24.15 | DiscordianUK | I think shevek does in fact know whereof they speak |
19:24.17 | mindbendr | or wait for the alsa drivers |
19:24.21 | shevek_ | mindbendr, The fact that for that money, you also get a TRUE 24bit 96KHz card with almost no latency with a 100dB SNR at 100% volume is probably irrelevant to you. |
19:24.37 | mindbendr | shevek_: but i don't compose music, so what's the point? |
19:24.43 | shevek_ | mindbendr, To get ALSA support! |
19:24.55 | shevek_ | And because you "are obsessed about the quality" etc. |
19:25.09 | mindbendr | shevek_: If I buy that card, I should buy a hi-fi speaker system as well if there's any benefit of having that card, right? |
19:25.12 | DiscordianUK | errr Creative stuff should do ALSA |
19:25.57 | shevek_ | mindbendr, If you're obsessed about quality, you presumably already own one. I hook mine up to an old Cambridge amp, although if I was buying now, I'd get something like an Arcam 6 or 7. |
19:26.06 | shevek_ | Or a Delta 290. |
19:26.31 | mindbendr | shevek_: is there any favorite in-ear phone brand/model for you? |
19:26.42 | DiscordianUK | As long as it's close enough for Rawk'n'roll works for me |
19:27.01 | shevek_ | DiscordianUK, It's all junk anyway. They take a 100dB SNR 24-bit DAC, and put it on a board with only 76dB SNR and 16 data lines. So the whole 24-bit DAC is just an advert, you can't actually run 24 bits through the card. All other manufacturers advertise CARD specs not DAC specs. |
19:27.22 | DiscordianUK | Yeah |
19:27.47 | shevek_ | mindbendr, No, they're all much of a muchness, and you get what you pay for. Shure have done some nice stuff recently, but it's expensive. I use HD25s, but they're not in-ear. |
19:27.47 | DiscordianUK | i just use whatever's onboard these days |
19:28.07 | shevek_ | DiscordianUK, indeed, it puzzles me why anyone pays 100 quid for a creative card when better cards are cheaper. |
19:28.35 | shevek_ | mindbendr, I also have some Sony in-ear 'phones, which are acceptable, but I wouldn't assume them to be of any particular quality. |
19:28.43 | cpufreak | shevek_: marketing. |
19:28.44 | cpufreak | innit |
19:28.45 | shevek_ | They're just for international trips. |
19:28.48 | mindbendr | shevek_: I'm using westone UM1 for a few years and i'm wondering what kinda difference would buying a 2 drive in earphone make |
19:28.57 | DiscordianUK | There's audophools |
19:29.03 | DiscordianUK | audiophools |
19:29.05 | cpufreak | same reason people buy bang and awfulsen speakers |
19:29.06 | mindbendr | shevek_: because westone UM2 is really expensive just because it's got 2 drivers |
19:29.31 | shevek_ | mindbendr, I suggest you go to a hifi shop and listen to them all. |
19:29.46 | shevek_ | Basically, you can tell the difference between WMA, MP3 and FLAC on almost anything, so make sure you take a real CD player with you, or use one. |
19:29.51 | shevek_ | Use CDs you know well, of course. |
19:30.23 | mindbendr | shevek_: what about mp3 players? ever heard rio karma/ |
19:30.30 | shevek_ | All mp3 players are shit. |
19:30.58 | shevek_ | I'm afraid I'm one of those annoying people who can tell the difference between mp3 encoders by ear. |
19:31.13 | mindbendr | shevek_: rio karma has got FLAC support though :) |
19:31.21 | DiscordianUK | I'm glad I can't |
19:31.29 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: consider yourself lucky |
19:31.53 | DiscordianUK | 30 years of going to gigs has rather mithered my hearing |
19:31.59 | shevek_ | One day you should hear my stereo :-) |
19:32.15 | shevek_ | mindbendr, i do not and have never owned an mp3 player |
19:32.27 | mindbendr | shevek_: lol sounds so strict |
19:32.39 | shevek_ | mindbendr, I'm tempted, but ... I don't think I have a purpose for one. |
19:33.10 | DiscordianUK | You could listen to talk radio podcasts on one |
19:33.14 | mindbendr | shevek_: it's a blessing even if you just use the tube on a daily basis |
19:33.17 | shevek_ | Aye, but I could also listen to the world around me. |
19:33.29 | DiscordianUK | true |
19:33.39 | shevek_ | http://www.anarres.org/porn/flightcase.jpg # that was halfway through the build, I completed that build a year or more ago now |

19:35.10 | DiscordianUK | My phone plays MP3s |
19:35.15 | mindbendr | lol |
19:35.32 | DiscordianUK | That'll do for me |
19:35.51 | DiscordianUK | My PDA does too |
19:35.57 | mindbendr | I even don't buy the phones that can play mp3 or take photos |
19:36.21 | DiscordianUK | My PDA runs linux |
19:36.23 | mindbendr | it'd be nice to run googlemaps though. |
19:36.43 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: is it armed cpu? |
19:36.46 | shevek_ | mindbendr, http://www.anarres.org/porn/studio-01.jpg # a few months ago |
19:37.13 | DiscordianUK | It's a zaurus yes, arm |
19:37.26 | mindbendr | shevek_: do you use maxmsp :) |
19:37.46 | shevek_ | mindbendr, No, what is it? |
19:37.54 | shevek_ | oh, it's some commercial GUI builder, isn't it? |
19:38.00 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: there are the slackware binaries for armed |

19:38.36 | DiscordianUK | slackware! |
19:38.38 | DiscordianUK | looks worried |
19:38.44 | mindbendr | why's that |
19:38.45 | mindbendr | :) |
19:39.19 | DiscordianUK | The distro that thinks tar is a package manager |
19:39.27 | mindbendr | pkgtool is the package manager |
19:39.28 | mindbendr | :D |
19:40.00 | DiscordianUK | I haven't used slackware since umm 1998 |
19:40.34 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: lol at last it's got 2.6 kernel series |
19:40.37 | DiscordianUK | when it was slow to move from a.out to ELF binaries |
19:40.54 | DiscordianUK | I run Fedora |
19:40.57 | mindbendr | but for the couple of years, it's doing good |
19:41.10 | DiscordianUK | and I'm on the kernel de jour |
19:41.22 | shevek_ | Slackware was ELF for ages. |
19:41.56 | DiscordianUK | It was nmagic , then a.out then slow to move to ELF |
19:43.25 | DiscordianUK | If it works for you then good |
19:47.28 | DiscordianUK | I'm always amused by the preconceptions people bring about ilnux |
19:48.30 | mindbendr | like what |
19:48.32 | shevek_ | linux sucks |
19:49.04 | DiscordianUK | all hardware / oses/software sucks |
19:49.22 | mindbendr | computer sucks |
19:49.37 | mindbendr | there are the trees,flowers out there |
19:50.36 | shevek_ | I just realised that if I put my gates into key listen mode, I can use them as sidechain inserts for my compressors. |
19:50.41 | shevek_ | It's a hack, but it'll work. |
19:50.48 | *** join/#gllug jpds (n=jpds@ubuntu/member/jpds) |
19:51.02 | DiscordianUK | gates? |
19:51.15 | shevek_ | My gates have a key filter. |
19:51.18 | phobus | see u later time for X-Files |
19:51.33 | shevek_ | I think this is probably a crappy idea, and all this stuff should be done post-crossover. |
19:51.38 | shevek_ | Or ideally, not at all. |
19:52.08 | mindbendr | boudiccas: and why did you assume that i'm using ubuntu? |
19:52.30 | boudiccas | from memory, i misremembered |
19:53.24 | DiscordianUK | There's nowt wrong with ubuntu if you can deal with apt |
19:53.50 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: it's just ubuntu users come to slackware channel and ask rubbish questions, i wondered did i sound like that |
19:53.54 | mindbendr | :) |
19:54.30 | DiscordianUK | we get ubuntu users ask the same on #fedora |
19:55.06 | mindbendr | asking questions in slackware makes more sense in that case |
19:56.17 | DiscordianUK | Linux has been my desktop OS since 1996 |
19:56.24 | mindbendr | wow |
19:56.35 | mindbendr | you really don't use any multimedia, do you |
19:56.42 | DiscordianUK | yes I do |
19:56.45 | shevek_ | Linux has been my desktop OS since 1991. |
19:57.02 | DiscordianUK | I watch telly on Linux |
19:57.14 | shevek_ | Although the first thing of mine I can find with a date on it says 1992. |
19:57.25 | shevek_ | whacks it out. |
19:57.42 | DiscordianUK | 1991 was the funny boot floppy |
19:57.59 | shevek_ | yes, and it sucked, and I mostly used Xenix. |
19:58.04 | DiscordianUK | 1992 was Yggdrasil and MCC |
19:58.09 | mindbendr | have you tried QNX |
19:58.11 | mindbendr | it was fun |
19:58.12 | shevek_ | Yes. |
19:58.17 | shevek_ | And I have Yggdrasil |
19:58.22 | shevek_ | and SLS and TAMU |
19:58.40 | DiscordianUK | I used microport SVR2.3 prior to linux |
19:58.56 | DiscordianUK | I had SLS too |
19:59.28 | DiscordianUK | I must still have the CDs somewhere |
20:01.55 | DiscordianUK | I know I have one that has Linux,NetBSD and 386BSD |
20:08.30 | DiscordianUK | though I'll confess I'm using a proper telly now |
20:23.01 | hali | hm hm |
20:23.17 | hali | its odd how nice XP feels after spending a few months with Vista :) |
20:23.39 | hali | and virtualbox is fast++ |
20:23.52 | hali | even on this fairly slow laptop |
20:24.50 | DiscordianUK | Oh dear |
20:25.45 | DiscordianUK | I like Vista better than XP |
20:26.00 | hali | i like parts of vista, but i don't like how sluggish it is |
20:26.06 | hali | all the binary signing etc |
20:26.10 | hali | slows stuff down |
20:26.11 | DiscordianUK | tis slow |
20:26.25 | hali | like running a random .exe installer over the networks on vista takes _ages_ |
20:26.34 | hali | for good and bad obviously |
20:26.41 | DiscordianUK | i don't like M$ anyway |
20:27.00 | hali | i'm very torn |
20:27.06 | hali | i dont like microsoft per say :) |
20:27.32 | hali | but i do think some products have improved alot lately, to the point of actually being ok to use |
20:27.40 | hali | like windows server 2008 is miles better than 2003 |
20:27.50 | hali | powershell is handy, almost on par with ksh93 |
20:27.59 | DiscordianUK | not touched 2008 |
20:28.09 | hali | free 120 day trial download if you get bored :) |
20:28.14 | DiscordianUK | Lol |
20:28.22 | hali | terminal services is handy |
20:28.27 | DiscordianUK | ksh93 you say? |
20:28.31 | hali | rdp over https etc |
20:28.45 | hali | yes, it's nowhere near bash/zsh |
20:28.58 | DiscordianUK | quite |
20:29.01 | hali | brb, enabling intel vt in bios |
20:29.08 | DiscordianUK | I know the differences |
20:34.18 | mindbendr | would running firefox's 32bit package make a big difference? |
20:34.28 | mindbendr | comparing to 64 bit |
20:34.57 | DiscordianUK | Possibly |
20:35.40 | DiscordianUK | 32 bit should be faster |
20:38.40 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: why? |
20:39.04 | DiscordianUK | less overhead |
20:39.29 | mindbendr | DiscordianUK: could you explain a bit |
20:41.53 | DiscordianUK | No, I couldn't, I've never studied this computer science |
20:46.03 | hali | more plugins work in the 32bit version |
20:46.24 | hali | i doubt performance differences will be noticable |
20:46.50 | DiscordianUK | That's true |
20:56.55 | mindbendr | it just replaces too many libraries on fedora |
20:57.36 | mindbendr | and the gui was looking a bit crappy i don't know why so i switched back to 64 bit but this flash plugin issue is worse |
20:59.08 | DiscordianUK | The problem with 64 bit is you need two libs (one 64bit one 32bit) for everything |
21:00.13 | DiscordianUK | which will impact RAM residency |
21:00.56 | mindbendr | i've got 4 gig so it's ok about the memory |
21:03.42 | hali | fun job offer on the list |
21:03.54 | hali | 12k for a sysadmin in london, seems _very_ low |
21:03.56 | hali | even junior |
21:04.13 | mindbendr | might that be part-time? |
21:04.25 | hali | no, full time in central london |
21:04.33 | hali | some media company |
21:05.03 | DiscordianUK | that's pretty poor |
21:05.14 | DiscordianUK | read that |
21:06.04 | hali | banks are starting to get a bit desperate looking for people, noone "dares" to change jobs so they offer more and more cash |
21:06.15 | hali | hopefully that will drive up all admin salaries :) |
21:06.23 | DiscordianUK | Yeah seen that |
21:06.45 | DiscordianUK | I saw a contract role for 200-700 oper diem |
21:07.03 | DiscordianUK | 8per |
21:29.09 | hali | hm, i wonder if lenovo t61 is the best laptop ever made |
21:29.14 | hali | i'm so pleased with it |
21:29.33 | hali | 14.1" screen, not too chunky not too small |
21:29.51 | Nafallo | hali: get the 9 cell battery and say that again ;-) |
21:30.01 | DiscordianUK | Ooh free REALBasic |
21:38.24 | mindbendr | goodnight |
21:39.40 | hali | Nafallo: i have the 9 cell, it's a bit big .. true |
21:39.45 | hali | Nafallo: i have a 6 cell too |
21:40.55 | Nafallo | hali: I have 9 cell and 4 cell :-) |
21:41.06 | hali | is the small one 4 cell? |
21:41.13 | hali | the one that doesn't stick out |
21:41.15 | Nafallo | hali: the standard one, yes. |
21:41.26 | hali | mine came with 9cell |
21:41.37 | hali | $boss got the x300 ... sleak! |
21:41.39 | Nafallo | hali: I want the 3 cell, but it costs as much as the 9 cell :-/ |
21:42.30 | hali | i use a x61 for testing at work, it's ok but the screen res sucks |
21:42.47 | hali | x61 tablet shipped with good screens for a while |
21:43.59 | hali | i think they actually took the high res x61's off the market when the x300 came out :/ |
21:44.03 | hali | bastards |
21:44.50 | Nafallo | got his finger between a rack and a wall today :-/ |
21:45.00 | hali | ouch |
21:45.03 | Nafallo | quite |
21:45.29 | Nafallo | at least I got free beer :-P |
21:46.19 | hali | i was back in schweden this week... boring as usual |
21:46.25 | hali | can't wait to get back to work |
21:47.42 | Nafallo | I need to be forced to go back in the coming few years. |
21:47.49 | Nafallo | I hate the place |
21:48.07 | hali | i don't mind, but there isn't much going on |
21:48.14 | hali | especially not in little Motala where i'm from :) |
21:48.30 | Nafallo | Motala is big compared to Kungsör |
21:48.53 | Nafallo | especially a bit outside of Kungsör, where there are mostly trees |
21:49.06 | hali | at least it isn't torneo |
21:49.12 | hali | i hear people live there too |
21:49.40 | Nafallo | I would rather have Torneo. norrlandskor are the awesomeness |
21:50.05 | hali | never met any nice ones |
21:50.13 | Nafallo | I've only met nice ones. |
21:50.28 | Nafallo | also... that accent... |
21:50.32 | hali | i thought they only liked snoskotrar, pucko and grillad med mos |
21:50.38 | Nafallo | gets like... speechless |
21:51.20 | hali | hate the accent |
21:51.20 | Nafallo | well, there you go then |
21:51.20 | hali | "sa ve keela" |
21:51.20 | Nafallo | to each their own ;-) |
21:51.20 | hali | indeed |
21:51.20 | hali | i prefer posh british girls |
21:51.20 | hali | :) |
21:51.40 | Nafallo | the one I'm most interested in at the moment lives in Australia :-) |
