10:31.07 | morsing | BEER BEER BEEEEEEEEEEERR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
10:31.46 | wethrin | acetone should be okay for getting rid of soot |
10:32.46 | antiphase | I've never seen soot damage metal |
10:32.55 | antiphase | I'd have though a damp cloth would do |
10:34.54 | morsing | http://www.awm.gov.au/aboutus/conservation/soot.asp |
10:35.06 | wethrin | should do. I was just thinking it'd come off easier with acetone or IPA |
10:35.10 | morsing | Soapy water kindy did work but I ended up using my Dremel |
10:35.20 | morsing | IPA! What a waste... |
10:36.47 | wethrin | What? Isopropanol? |
10:36.56 | morsing | IPA is for drinking! |
10:37.10 | wethrin | I wouldn't want to drink propanol! |
10:37.17 | wethrin | You're thinking of ethanol. That's drinkable |
10:37.22 | morsing | I'm thinkin gIPA |
10:37.25 | morsing | IPA ftw |
10:37.37 | wethrin | Your IPA is not my IPA |
10:37.58 | morsing | ibot IPA |
10:37.59 | ibot | ipa is probably International Phoenetic Alphabet |
10:38.05 | morsing | ibot: You suck |
10:38.06 | ibot | and very well I might add |

10:52.57 | wethrin | Makes a change from stabbing |
10:53.07 | wethrin | Y'know....variety is the spice of life, and all that |
10:53.34 | hali | indeed |
10:53.43 | hali | class difference i guess |
10:54.00 | hali | working class kids stab, posh(wannabee) shoots |
10:54.03 | wethrin | yep |
10:54.09 | Nafallo | wasn't me! |

11:02.06 | Leeds | investment bankers high at noon? |
11:02.11 | morsing | BEer |
11:06.28 | Stephmw | Leeds: fair point, 'high' is redundant |
11:10.44 | hali | not as bad as people think |
11:11.19 | Stephmw | the stabbing, the shooting or the snorting? |
11:11.29 | hali | snorting |
11:11.40 | hali | and well |
11:11.43 | hali | not sure about the stabbings |
11:12.14 | hali | the stabbens sort of give us fewer people to give benefits to |
11:12.46 | hali | it's not like PhD's researching cancer and contributing to society get stabbed |
11:13.08 | Stephmw | you almost had me going there |
11:13.20 | Stephmw | PhDs... contributing to society? |
11:31.40 | wethrin | Stephmw: Yeah - keeps them off the dole |
11:46.32 | AndyMillar | dole scum :( |
11:46.42 | AndyMillar | should put them all in a cage |
11:46.56 | AndyMillar | give them beer |
11:47.01 | AndyMillar | and leave them to it |

17:49.51 | Nafallo | \o/ |
17:49.52 | DiscordianUK | not good |
17:50.18 | Nafallo | what's the issue with that? |
18:06.58 | DiscordianUK | blimey linux is 17 years old today |
18:08.12 | hali | since the first mkdir? |
18:08.27 | hali | 17 year old software, about time someone rewrote it from scratch |
18:09.14 | DiscordianUK | since the 0.01 kernel |
18:10.47 | DiscordianUK | heh i doubt there's much of the original code left in 2.6.26 |
18:20.26 | hali | i miss kernel 2.0 |
18:20.35 | hali | was 'neat' |
18:20.52 | DiscordianUK | heh |
18:21.09 | hali | 1.3 was the first kernel i really spent much time with |
18:21.29 | DiscordianUK | i was able to use linux to get online at 0.94pl10 |
18:21.30 | hali | with it's fairly rapid release cycle |
18:21.41 | DiscordianUK | when we got slip in the kernel |
19:28.51 | hali | cheese |
19:29.15 | DiscordianUK | always good i love a nice gorgonzola |
20:41.01 | ChoHag | In the stanza "command; if [ $? != 0 ]; then echo $?; fi", the second reference to $? is referring to the result of the [ command, so why do so many scripts use it? |
20:41.43 | hali | RETVAL=$? makes more sense |
20:41.46 | ChoHag | Da. |
20:42.09 | ChoHag | That could partly explain why nfs has sucked so much recently. |
20:42.19 | DiscordianUK | heh |
20:43.17 | ChoHag | I had no idea most of the binaries failed to start. Personally I blame the splurge of 'nicities' which are being added to Linux recently. |
20:43.21 | ChoHag | LSB? Pah! |
20:45.14 | DiscordianUK | tis a shame everything is moving to upstartd instead of sysvinit |
20:45.44 | ChoHag | Indeed. If I wanted to use Windows or Mac OS I would. |
20:46.14 | wethrin | Remember: "FreeBSD is for those who love Unix. Linux is for those who hate Windows" |
20:46.25 | DiscordianUK | no |
20:46.48 | DiscordianUK | i chose linux because i come from a SVR4 background |
20:47.23 | DiscordianUK | which is Unix[TM] |
20:48.13 | *** join/#gllug jpds (n=jpds@ubuntu/member/jpds) |
20:48.40 | DiscordianUK | and additionally bsd went into the doldrums around the time of the regents case |
20:51.20 | DiscordianUK | i'm tempted these days by opensolaris |
20:54.14 | ChoHag | Debian used to be the least sucky of MS Linux distributions. |
20:54.16 | ChoHag | Now I'm not so sure. |
20:55.20 | DiscordianUK | I've always used Redhat/Fedora at home (well at least since we changed from a.out to ELF binaries) |
20:59.45 | hali | Solaris is strange'ish ... best kernel+fluff and suckiest userland :) |
21:00.05 | hali | which is what "OpenSolaris" is trying to fix with the help of Murdock |
21:00.58 | DiscordianUK | i actually liked solaris anyway |
21:01.25 | wethrin | hali: Yes, but most Solaris admins just install the GNU utilities |
21:01.27 | hali | yes it's good once used to it, but for linux-noobs it does feel like 1982 |
21:01.39 | hali | solaris even comes with an almost full gnu toolset now |
21:01.45 | hali | in /usr/sfw |
21:01.45 | DiscordianUK | yeah i know |
21:01.52 | wethrin | Has their tar been dragged into the 1980s yet? |
21:01.58 | hali | nope |
21:02.00 | DiscordianUK | i have solaris on my sparcs |
21:02.03 | hali | well, a bit |
21:02.09 | hali | it does have largefile support and stuff |
21:02.12 | DiscordianUK | gtar is in /usr/sfw |
21:02.25 | hali | but it's not clever enough to handle compression helpers |
21:03.25 | DiscordianUK | the reason i don't run solaris on my desktop is that stuff isn't available for it that i can get for free for linux |
