09:23.12Leedshas a sick gf
09:23.36gregj-ukmentaly, or she has flu or something ?
09:29.09morsingLeeds: US kind sick or UK kind sick?
09:29.22Leedsshe has vomited twice today
09:29.38morsing:(
09:29.41gregj-ukpregnant ?
09:30.07gregj-uk(geeks talking about woman sickness, priceless)
09:39.19wethrinmorsing: I'm not in denial about Gllug being mostly-dead. However, I actually made an effort to organise some meetings before I ended up having too much to do. You've made no effort to organise any meetings.
09:40.15wethrinSo I think I can quite reasonably be irritated by people who clam sonething's dead while not making any effort themselves to try and keep it alive
09:41.07morsingwethrin: How so? The statement "It's dead" has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone's willingness to keep it alive? It's a self-contained statement!
09:41.16morsings/?/!/
09:41.31morsingAaqrggg - second ? not the first
09:41.49morsinggregj-uk: I'm not a geek
09:42.43wethrin"It's dead" is a blanket, final statement. "It's dead at the moment; we're working on more meetings" would be better
09:42.59morsingWe?
09:43.04morsingI'm not...
09:43.18wethrinWell, you should be
09:43.19morsingI can't tell people that someone else is working on something
09:43.22morsingI shouldn't...
09:45.53Leedswethrin: to be fair, he shouldn't
09:46.16Leedswethrin: neither should you, greg or I
09:46.40morsingClive should...
09:47.12wethrinSomeone actually in London should
09:48.22gregj-ukmorsing: yes, you're british
09:48.32gregj-ukmorsing: that makes you a geek
09:49.05gregj-ukhow about for a gllug meeting in Belfast
09:49.07gregj-uk;>

12:44.53gregj-ukanyone with oil heating here ?
12:45.05morsingNo - we're in the UK
12:45.10morsinggregj-uk: Why?
12:45.17gregj-ukfor your information, NI is part of UK
12:45.35morsingWhy do you ask?
12:45.38gregj-ukbut not part of GB, which is a geograpical term for "main island"
12:45.44gregj-ukcos we do have oil heating
12:45.51gregj-ukjust like some ppl in scotland
12:45.56gregj-ukand probably england too
12:46.03morsinggregj-uk: Don't tell NI people this - believe me, I know you're right but they don't believe you and get upset
12:46.22antiphaseSince when have all you foreigners been so interested in the minutiae of the UK?
12:46.51gregj-ukbut it wasn't used for a while, and I was wondering, what should I check before starting it
12:46.59morsingantiphase: I got in trouble with my boss at work once for trying to explain to my NI colleague that NI isn't in Britain
12:47.11morsinggregj-uk: Check it's got oil
12:47.11gregj-ukmorsing: trust me, I live here for over a month now, I know what I can ask the locals about and how
12:47.19gregj-ukI bought a fucking oil today
12:50.17gregj-ukI really love when ppl assume I am intelligent enough, in conversation
12:50.39wethrinUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
12:50.42wethrinThe clue's in the name
12:52.02wethrinThere''s probably very little you can check with oil heating, other than the level of oil
12:55.34wethrinTurn it on, and if you smell burning, turn it off
12:55.52wethrinhttp://eliasqfuntybunt.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/linux-and-marketing-a-rant/
12:56.40gregj-ukwhat about air in pipes and stuff like that
12:56.53gregj-ukI mean that has to be some water in heating system probably
12:57.05gregj-ukand since it has not been used for some time, it evaporated by now
12:57.42antiphaseIf you think water can evaporate from a sealed heating system, you should probably consult a qualified person
12:58.15gregj-ukit is sealed, fair enough, but you'll still end up with minor leaks
12:58.30gregj-uktrust me, I have gas heater in other place, and you have to add water to it every month-two
12:58.34gregj-uknot much, but still
12:58.36gregj-ukso...
12:58.54gregj-ukdon't try to be smarter than you are
12:59.06antiphaselaughs heartily
12:59.45gregj-uksmirks, and says 'pff, arogant ignorants'
12:59.49antiphaseI detect someone that's not going to get on too well in the UK
12:59.52wethrinAir you can bleed out of radiators
13:00.11gregj-ukantiphase: 6 years, and doing well
13:00.50gregj-ukbut I have to say, there's more ignorants here than on mainland, just takes some time to get used to that
13:00.53gregj-uk;p
13:01.09wethrinIf you turn the central heating pump on, you'll hear if there's air in the system
13:01.29*** join/#gllug boudiccas (n=boudicca@88-108-50-139.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
13:01.38antiphaseThen the pump will seize if there's no water
13:01.40antiphase\o/
13:01.45gregj-ukquestion is, does it have a valve somewhere that I have to turn on, and wait for pressure to come to certain level, or will it just do it by it self
13:02.08antiphasewould answer, but apparently isn't qualified
13:02.09gregj-ukwith gas eating, you have to turn on a valve for a bit, untill the pressure comes to right value, turn it off, and than turn on heating
13:02.24gregj-ukbut it is probably a slightly different thing with oil heating
13:02.28*** join/#gllug z00dax (n=kbsingh@74.201.52.144)
13:03.14gregj-ukI am asking, cos I know from expierence, that things are done differently in different parts of world, and not trying to be smarter than I should
13:03.46wethrinantiphase: If there's no water, sure. If there's just some air bubbles, it's not going to do damage
13:04.11gregj-ukanyway, lemme see
13:04.27antiphaseI'm just far too ignorant to know anything about central heating. Oh yes.
13:04.32antiphaseis a fucking retard
13:04.41gregj-ukand a child
13:05.13antiphaseI'm 30 years old, so your hypothesis is incorrect
13:05.52Leedscurry time!
13:05.57gregj-ukrright
13:06.06gregj-ukwould order some chinesse, but is broke again

20:10.28Kittyand when we next meet
20:10.38KittyI am going to slap you once for each time
20:10.41morsing...
20:11.05morsingboudiccas: Kitty is being mean to me :(
20:11.39boudiccasmorsing; no doubt you deserve it
20:11.48morsing...
20:12.02boudiccasyou're a big boy now morsing you can stand up for yourself
20:12.07Kittymorsing: have you any idea how much crap I get about "Kitty!" and "hello kitty!" and "you're a kitty" ??
20:12.14Kittyboudiccas: no he's not
20:12.35boudiccashe's not?
20:13.30Kittymorsing is hardly someone we would consider overly endowed in verticality
20:14.52boudiccasbut he's got a nice hairstyle
20:14.59Kittyits not my taste
20:15.29boudiccashow often do you go round tasting mens hairstyles? :)
20:15.45Kittydepends
20:15.57KittyI don't generally do men ...
20:16.15DiscordianUKlikewise
20:21.44haligood evening
20:21.59Kittyhello hali
20:22.01DiscordianUKhi hali
20:22.24haliKitty: hows business, sellling vps' like butter?
20:22.42Kittynot like butter, but sales are ok
20:22.44Kittycould do better
20:22.48Kittywould you like to buy a vm ?
20:22.56DiscordianUKhaha
20:23.04halii'm alright, i've hidden three servers in a closet at my old employeer
20:23.12Kittylol
20:23.55halido you do sun vms yet?
20:24.03halior all xen
20:24.35Kittyal xen
20:24.40DiscordianUKsolaris zones?
20:24.45Kittytho its a heavily customized xen
20:24.46halijoyent own that market it seems
20:24.59Kittysolaris zones just aren't upto the job right now
20:25.35DiscordianUKi concluded that about openvz too
20:25.56Kittyxen is an appalling solution
20:26.00Kittybut its the best of a bad bunch
20:26.55DiscordianUKso many virt solutions
20:27.32halivirtuozzo seems ok, but a bit pricey
20:27.38morsingBeer
20:27.50halilots of vps providers use virtuozzo
20:28.03Kittyhali: and all the decent ones use xen
20:28.16Kittyvirtuozzo allows for overselling
20:28.26Kittyxen gives dedicated resources.
20:28.39DiscordianUKunless there's some magic in virtuozzo that's not in openvz i'd avoid
20:28.47haliprobably why less-than-honest companies use virtuozzo
20:28.52Kittyhali: quite
20:29.11haliand it comes with pretty provisioning software out of the box
20:29.16Kittyultimately, I would love a Z series running VM
20:29.25haliyeah that would be pretty cool
20:29.36Kittybut it uses 5kw jus tto sit there
20:29.44DiscordianUKmm a mainframe
20:29.47Kittyyeah
20:29.49haliand capex is pretty high
20:29.53Kittyand takes up the space of about 3 racks
20:29.59DiscordianUKi'd love to do that too
20:30.49DiscordianUKbut we should be greening the planet
20:31.06DiscordianUKand z-series aren't green
20:31.08halimainframes are the greenest boxes you can buy
20:31.11Kittythey are
20:31.21Kittywhen you consider you can get several thousand vm's on one box
20:31.26halias avg utilization is high
20:31.36DiscordianUKi guess
20:32.01DiscordianUKbut the construction isn't green
20:32.40Kittywhen the worlds end, its going to be z series and cockroaches
20:32.50hali:)
20:32.54Kittymaybe some of the old sun kit
20:33.10haliyeah, sun isn't what it used to be
20:33.20DiscordianUKwhat kind of sun kit?
20:33.29halii was upgrading a sun v880 the other day and compared to the new boxes it's just so rock solid hw
20:33.41hali880 was the last true sun box
20:33.45haliwell, 890 too
20:34.16DiscordianUKsparcs ftw
20:34.41halii run my X on that box these days, much faster :)
20:34.44hali32gb ram in it
20:34.51Kittyneeds to rebuild her sparc coffee table...
20:35.02DiscordianUKheh
20:35.18DiscordianUKwhat sparcs died for that?
20:35.44KittyIPX, IPC, Classic, 2, 2, 5, 5, 10, 10, 20 , 20
20:36.10DiscordianUKmust be a big table
20:36.37KittyI used to use a 5 and a beer keg...
20:37.09DiscordianUKi've an ipx,ss2, ss10 and ss5/170
20:38.17DiscordianUKi'm not ready to skip the ultras just yet
20:38.49Kittyheh
20:39.56Kittyanyone know the going rate for a plaster ?
20:40.25DiscordianUKplaster?
