08:04.49bleachinHi folks, has the mailing list gone down?
08:07.03bilarhi should hope not, i rely on it to fill my inbox with off-topic discussions and rants
08:08.17bleachinnot had any mails for a couple of days, but I did change my mail address so want to check its not that. Also I couldn't access the online archives either but that could be me being stupid aswell
08:08.42bilarhactually, i haven't received anything for a while either
08:08.50bilarhso it's entirely possible it's down
08:08.59bilarhwethrin will be along shortly and fix it, probably
08:09.07bilarhhe is the list admin, isn't he?
08:09.46Leedsnot really, no
08:09.51Leedsit's hosted by ukfsn
08:09.53bleachinI have no idea who is these days
08:09.55bilarhah ok, i got the impression he was
08:12.45Leedshe is de facto the admin of gllug as a whole, being the only person who has done anything for the group in a while
08:15.11zaargmorning
08:16.49Leedsalso, the website (there's a website???) is broken
08:45.24bleachinhttp://lists.gllug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
08:46.15wethrinHm. FAIL.
08:46.20wethrinShout at Jason
08:51.08wethrinHrm. The mailing list breaks far too often
08:51.17wethrinIt's not the best advert for Jason, really
09:02.18Leedswethrin: what is the best advert for him?
09:02.30wethrinUmm
09:02.55wethrinI'm not sure
09:03.00wethrinWorktime!

12:42.32bilarhtodays health and safety rant:
12:42.44gregjwethrin: http://deser.gazeta.pl/deser/1,83453,5475486,Dobre_rady_dla_Polakow_w_Wielkiej_Brytanii.html
12:42.50bilarhthe hot water in our kitchen taps in the office has been cut off due to health and safety risks
12:43.20wethrinbilarh: Someone could get burned?
12:43.26bilarhwehtrin: presumably
12:43.28bilarhfucking retards
12:44.42wethrinWell, stick a sign up saying "Caution: HOT"
12:45.03bilarhit's so retarded i'm struggling to find words to describe it
12:45.26wethrinJust email back saying "What H&S risk?"
12:45.57bilarhtheir address is noreply@blah.com
12:46.04bilarhor it might as well, they don't listen anyway :)
12:46.07gregjcaution: fucking hot
12:46.20bilarhthe H&S overlords know better anyway
12:47.04wethrinWell, some hot water from taps will actually scald. In which case, putting a sign up isn't unreasonable
12:47.26dick_turpinbilarh: I saw something on the TV a couple of days ago that would have got your blood boiling I need to sit and remember what it was, but it was bloody silly
12:47.46bilarhdick_turpin: yo mum?
12:47.48bilarh:)
12:47.58dick_turpinbilarh: Big Boy :-)
12:48.25bilarhwethrin: i still think it's unreasonable... i don't want to be wrapped up in cotton wool all my life
12:48.42bilarhwethrin: if i stick my hand in hot water from a tap and scald myself, it's my own damn fault
12:49.03wethrinbilarh: Is it? A *lot* of 'hot' taps barely have water above room temperature
12:49.37wethrinAnd so if something's actually ridiculously hot, it's worth mentioning it
12:49.39bilarhwethrin: yeah but honestly if it's really hot, you can feel it way before you stick your hand in it
12:50.02wethrinDepends on the taps. Not the ones that we have in the Physics department here
12:50.10wethrinWhere you just push on it to make the water flow
12:50.59bilarhwhat's the push got to do with the water being hot?
12:51.23wethringregj: A guideline for Poles living in UK?
12:51.26gregjwethrin: yup
12:51.41wethrindrink tea, be polite, complain about the weather...
12:52.00gregjwethrin: cos, many of us think that if brit asks 'how are you', it means - we have to list all our illneses (?), and things like that
12:52.01bilarhpolite, lol :)
12:52.15gregjyeah, whine about weather, - so typical
12:52.29gregj;]
12:52.35wethrin"Can't complain"
12:52.41dick_turpinDid you see that guy (about 10 years ago) sued McDonalds for burning his mouth on a Burger, he won!
12:53.01bilarhdick_turpin: it's all new labours fault
12:53.03wethrinIt was someone spilling coffee on her lap
12:53.13wethrinHence the Stella Awards (google it)
12:53.28dick_turpinwethrin: Yeah that was another one I think
12:53.46dick_turpinI still cant remember that news item dam dam dam
12:58.01dick_turpinFound it
12:58.20dick_turpinI read it not saw it
12:58.24dick_turpinhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2307275/'Ridiculous'-health-and-safety-rules-tell-carpenters-to-ban-the-broom.html
12:58.46dick_turpinbilarh: Pick the bones outa that one :-D
13:00.59bilarhcan now be found huddled up and crying in the corner
13:03.25dick_turpinbilarh: Man when I saw it I thought of you
13:03.44bilarhbring back common sense
13:03.45wethrinGAH
13:04.06wethrinSo wear a fucking face mask!
13:04.10bilarhi mean why don't these H&S people just go out and get laid or something
13:04.11wethrinSeriously, if I suffered from asthma, I'd wear a mask when drilling
13:04.21bilarhthey'd be a lot less up tight if they did
13:04.23wethrinbilarh: Think of the forms they'd have to fill in before they could do that!
13:04.24dick_turpinwethrin: Ah they are banned too, restricts air intake :-)
13:05.32wethrinremembers one episode of QI, when they werent' allowed to inhale helium: "The four worst words in the English language: health and fucking safety"
13:05.43bilarhwethrin: yeah condoms are rubbish :-\
13:05.54wethrinWhat if you're allergic to latex?
13:05.54wethrinEH?
13:06.04bilarhthat's what i'm saying
13:06.09bilarhit's safer not to use any
13:06.20wethrinDisease risk!
13:07.17wethrinSo, think of H&FS matters, I'm going to need to use Powerpoint
13:08.36bilarhmy mother was obviously a careless one... i was allowed to go outside and play in the garden
13:08.36dick_turpinWE have a customer who makes an absolute fortune out of giving H&S training and talks
13:08.41bilarhand, i was allowed to cycle on the road
13:09.04bilarhand, i was even allowed to go ice skating (extreme sports at an early age!!)
13:09.06bilarhetc etc
13:09.31bilarhi'm surprised anyone survived childhood earlier, before the H&S safety net was about
13:09.32dick_turpinSnow is now banned as is ice

13:15.34dick_turpinHere's a serious question for once from me:I have a Toshiba laptop with an SD card slot what driver, module or command would I need to use it?
13:16.04dick_turpinI stuck my 2GB SD card in but nothing happened
13:16.04mindbendrdick_turpin: what distro
13:16.10dick_turpinArchLinux
13:16.25dick_turpinI know "FO and ask there"
13:16.39mindbendrdick_turpin: if it doesn't load it, (check dmesg) you could find the necessary scsi module for that and load it with `modprobe`
13:16.51mindbendrlsmod also might help
13:17.09mindbendrif it's already loaded, all you need to do is, mounting it. I haven't used an sd card before though.
13:17.13dick_turpinYeah I did do dmesg but the last entry was sound
13:17.27mindbendrdmesg | more
13:17.30mindbendrand look for scsi
13:17.38dick_turpinAh
13:17.42mindbendreven dmesg | less
13:17.50mindbendrtype /scsi
13:17.58mindbendrit will search for it
13:18.20mindbendror you can lsscsi if it's installed
13:18.26mindbendrand look up whether is it loaded or not
13:18.28dick_turpinEnded up sticking the card in another guy's camera, hooking that up to the laptop and transfering images that way
13:19.16dick_turpinmindbendr: Thx I'll try that tonight
