06:13.06Leedsmy facebook friends are starting to go circular
06:14.59Leedsthe HR manager from my former job - who added me on Facebook after leaving the company shortly after I joined - got married a couple of weeks ago...
06:15.33Leedsher wedding reception photos are now up on Facebook and being tagged - including one of her and her (English) new husband, with an Italian friend of mine and her (English) fiance
06:15.53LeedsI can only assume that the two blokes know each other
06:29.51AndyMillardoesn't tacebook tell you?
06:33.47Leedscould do - I'm not 'friends' with the HR manager's husband though
06:37.01AndyMillar(yet)
06:43.03Leedsnah, I doubt I'll meet him
06:43.10Leedsanyway, yes, he is friends with Adam
06:43.45LeedsI'm not entirely sure if it's a stage name or not - he's a writer/director/actor - but he's Adam West...
06:50.32ChoHagIs there something like perl's Data::Dumper for javascript?

09:23.19ChoHagWtf?
09:23.27ChoHagI don't know if I misheard, but I probably didn't.
09:23.40ChoHagApparently HR is in charge of moving racks into/out of the server room.
09:23.49ChoHagHR being, in this case, one old man.

14:40.03ChoHagMy team leader: "It's not rocket science. I'm sure I could learn perl quickly."
14:42.30DiscordianUKheh has he ever coded anything?
14:43.38ChoHagNot that I know of.
14:43.43ChoHagShell scripts confuse him.
14:44.01DiscordianUKprogramming is an art
14:44.30ChoHagI decided not to laugh in his face in a meeting in which I was getting a dressing down.
14:44.55ChoHagIncidentally, it really pisses me off when people take their problems with me to management instead of just telling me.
14:45.10DiscordianUKMy first job in IT was as analyst/programmer
14:48.33ChoHagI can't wait until I get my last job in IT.
14:48.50DiscordianUKlol

15:25.08mikejw_too late :/
16:35.53ChoHagHow many lines of script would you say are needed to create users from a master database (which is stored on NFS)?
16:39.02ChoHagIncluding deleting, password updates, and whatever 'alt_user' does, we have 632.
16:39.48ChoHag56 are comments.
16:45.15DiscordianUKnowt wrong with having comments
16:46.52*** join/#gllug Blapto (n=martin@62.189.100.228)
16:46.59ChoHagNo indeed.
16:48.31DiscordianUKOtherwise it sounds a bit complex but is it perl or shell?
16:57.30ChoHagshell
17:00.48DiscordianUKwouldn't be my choice these days

19:30.28kjsyeah
19:30.44Mohani had no issues with it whatsoever.
19:30.46kjswhats that like? there is a windows version as well i think...
19:30.53kjsMohan: you run it now?
19:31.00Mohanyes
19:31.11DiscordianUKi've no idea about windows
19:31.24Mohanits similar to outlook in windows
19:31.59kjswhat crashy? fails to work randomly and corrupts pst files for no reason... ?
19:32.12DiscordianUKmakes the sign of the cross
19:32.14Mohanbut i am not sure whether there is a windows version available for evolution.
19:32.37haliif you run windows and want something like evolution you may as well run outlook
19:32.42haliit's much better
19:32.51Mohanhali: thats a valid point :)
19:33.06Mohanif you use windows why dont you use outlook ?
19:33.16halisay what you want about ms products, but outlook is pretty good
19:33.18DiscordianUKgiven evolution requires gnome probably you'd not want to run it under doze
19:33.50halicost is one thing i guess
19:33.56halibut office is only 49quid
19:34.24DiscordianUKopenoffice is better and free
