12:56.51nixofortunekjs: what's your problem
12:58.47morsingkjs: ermm... ???
12:58.56morsingA bit disrespectful
12:59.05nixofortuneindeed
12:59.27morsingkjs: And all americans say it that way which is probable why foreigners copy it
13:00.37nixofortunedon't like my Kawfy? Take morsing's Cawfy instead. it's easy.
13:00.48morsingBeer
13:01.46nixofortunelet's hope no body gets annoyed with beer.
13:01.52nixofortuneBeer
13:02.11morsingHow can anyone be annoyed with beer?!?
13:02.59nixofortuneit's quiet
13:03.39morsingBeer doesn't normally say much
13:07.05nixofortuneI hate to say. I'm suffering from splitting headache after all these christmass alcohol excesses
13:07.26morsing:(

13:14.07morsingnixofortune: What's for tea?
13:15.04nixofortunemorsing: i can't keep up with your rate. we didn't finish beer yet.
13:16.19nixofortuneCzech beer is good. helps me to start my day right.

13:24.45morsingnixofortune: Why won't boudiccas speak to us?
13:25.23nixofortuneboudiccas: !! speak to morsing pls.
13:25.29boudiccashi folks, can anyone help me with this problem that i'm currently having? i have a program using all my cpu time called 'makewhatis' being run by root with a pid of 16513. i've tried running sudo kill 16513, with no luck and i've tried running as root kill 16513 and it still doesnt work. anyone any ideas as to how to kill this little blighter please?
13:25.42wethrinkill -9
13:25.46nixofortuneyou see? it works
13:26.09wethrinI would just leave it to finish what it's doing, though
13:28.01boudiccaswethrin; thanks thats sorted it out
13:28.25boudiccaswhat does the '-9' signify though?
13:29.05wethrinsends a SIGKILL, rather than a SIGTERM
13:29.44wethrinIt's rather more forceful
13:29.53morsingnixofortune: How do you open door/gates in Ben10?
13:30.09AndyMillarargh
13:30.15AndyMillaropensrs have odd spf records
13:30.23nixofortuneBen10? what is this? flash game?
13:30.29morsingYes
13:30.37morsingboudiccas: Don't kill it
13:30.54nixofortune;-) morsing!
13:31.01morsingboudiccas: Why do you not ask what it is before asking how to kill it??
13:31.15morsingnixofortune!
13:31.23wethrinboudiccas: makewhatis generates subject indexes from man pages - it's handy, and only needs to be run once
13:32.03AndyMillarboudiccas: quick, kill it, it might be useful ;)
13:32.34boudiccasthe problem was that it was using all my cpu cycles and pushing up the temperature to whereh my box falls over
13:32.50morsingboudiccas: *siiiiiiiigh*
13:33.21nixofortuneboudiccas: you need to hoover your box
13:33.30AndyMillarfeeds morsing beer
13:34.10boudiccaswhy 'hoover'? to suck up all the dust bunnies?
13:34.19wethrinyes
13:34.52wethrinspecially around the CPU heatsink and fan
13:34.52boudiccashow would that affect the temperature that it runs at?
13:35.03boudiccasah, that makes sense
13:35.21nixofortunewell by hoover i meant to clean not to suck it up
13:36.21boudiccasi've previously thought of hoovering the box with the toe part of apair of tights over the nozzle not to suck up anyhting vital to its running, like the screw thats rolling around in it somewhere
13:36.25nixofortunei cleaned my box yesterday with air duster.
13:36.46morsingboudiccas: Maybe you should just give up on the wonderful world of computer ownership...
13:38.41boudiccasmorsing; i shall ignore that comment
13:51.23nixofortunewhy xteddy is so quiet today?
13:51.44wethrinhaving xteddy on ignore++ # very quiet
13:52.37nixofortunewethrin: it's Christmas. let xteddy go
13:53.27wethrinNo. It annoyed me. And it will continue to do so if I unignore it
13:54.43nixofortunewethrin: can you control it less radically rather  than on/off switch?
13:55.55wethrinWhat, /ignore? Yes, of course
14:08.33morsingboudiccas: I am sure you will - taking advice isn't your strong point
14:08.56morsingwethrin: Grow up

14:16.34wethrinoh, ferfuckssake
14:16.50Leedsthe Pooh?
14:17.23WinnieHi
14:17.33wethrinI know what I can change, and what I can't change. If there's something I can't change, and I don't like it, I can minimise my exposure to it.
14:18.02wethrinGrowing up does not equal being forced to be wound up by things that irritate you
14:26.56AndyMillaryes it does :(
14:27.01nixofortunewethrin: when is the next meeting?
14:27.13Leedsnixofortune: when you organise it?
14:27.56nixofortuneLeeds: are you coming?
14:28.03wethrinnixofortune: Yeah, what Leeds said
14:28.04Leedsunlikely
14:28.43nixofortunespeech is not my strongest point
14:29.06wethrinI think David Neil had some ideas, and was going to look into them in the new year
14:29.19boudiccasnixofortune; do a demo then
14:29.40boudiccasi'd like to see a demo of ddrescue
14:29.48Leedsnixofortune: or don't speak at all - if you can co-ordinate 2-3 speakers, a place and a time, you could probably get someone else to MC pretty easily
14:30.06nixofortuneboudiccas: yeah! i can show you how to clean up the box with air duster

16:37.15trouserswethrin: Oxford, Imperial, UCL, Southampton and Durham.
16:37.33wethrinGood choices
16:37.35trousersAll for some variety of 4 year MPhys.
16:37.42wethrinGood good
16:37.54trousersI got an offer from Oxford a few days before Christmas.
16:38.00wethrinYarrr. They do this
16:38.02wethrinWhich college?
16:38.09trousersSt Anne's.
16:38.28wethrinEh. It's a bit out of the way
16:38.37trousersMy thoughts exactly.
16:39.39morsingChoHag!
16:39.51wethrinI believe the Durham physics teaching is better than the Oxford one. However, Oxford still has a good name associated with it
16:39.55trousersI applied to Univ, but didn't get on with the interviewers there. So no loss for me, really.
16:40.01wethrinFair do
16:40.20morsingBeer
16:40.22trousersAnd Durham's... Up North...
16:40.31wethrinNowt wrong with Up North, like
16:40.45wethrinIt's where I'm based
16:41.12trousersHeh, fair enough.
16:41.43wethrinDurham would keep you a lot busier than Oxford, at least in terms of lectures
