17:08.09morsingright
17:08.18nixofortuneabout 40 Gig
17:08.33morsingI use about 10GB on my website for photos
17:08.58nixofortunestill
17:09.11morsingYeah :)
17:09.42nixofortunei think it's a lot
17:10.23morsingIt is
17:10.51nixofortuneit's a shame you don't have web access
17:11.28morsingYeah :(
17:13.51morsingBeer
17:21.12wethrinI've got less than 1GB in my online photos
17:21.25wethrinbut I don't put my full-size photos online
17:21.42nixofortuneamateur
17:22.07wethrinYes, I'm sorry for trying to save bandwidth
17:22.30wethrinAnd sorry for trying to not piss people off by forcing them to download a 6MB JPEG, which they then can't see properly on their screen
17:23.02nixofortune:)
17:24.48nixofortuneyou have original photo download as an option on good web sites. usually it's resized version.
17:25.18wethrinPah. If people particularly want the original, they can ask me for it
17:25.27Nafalloraw!
17:25.31wethrinyep
17:25.40wethrinI will supply a full-size jpeg if they want
17:26.04wethrinIf they're just going to be looking at it on their monitor, 1024x768 is enough for anyone
17:26.29Nafallohmm. that's not raw ;-)
17:27.15wethrinNo. I have raw too
17:27.20nixofortuneI think raw is a format
17:27.25wethrinWell, on some of them
17:27.33wethrinraw is a container format, really
17:27.37wethrinKinda like avi
17:27.49nixofortunenot all cameras works with raw images
17:27.53wethrinraw is the raw data off the CCD. It'll vary between cameras
17:28.23Nafallohttp://ufraw.sourceforge.net/
17:28.38Nafallo"Canon (CRW, CR2), Nikon (NEF), Pentax (PEF), Samsung (PEF), Sony (SR2, ARW), Fuji (RAF) and Adobe's DNG"
17:29.03wethrinAs long as it works in iPhoto...
17:30.08nixofortuneinteresting
17:30.42nixofortuneas long as it works with jalbum
17:35.08AndyMillarmmh

18:11.52wethrinwhat's your solution?
18:12.24dick_turpinFairy liquid
18:12.43wethrinclean
18:14.03*** join/#gllug DiscordianUK (n=clive@chills.demon.co.uk)
18:14.07dick_turpin2009 and dick_turpin has still got,it :-)
18:14.11*** join/#gllug [Discordian] (n=clive@chills.demon.co.uk)
18:14.23dick_turpinGot it
18:14.46wethrinYou got my diary?
18:15.35morsingwethrin: http://www.morsing.cc/billed.php?STED=Stockholm-May2005
18:15.39dick_turpinI sold it topzy for the sxolution
18:16.01wethrinYour solution involves PHP.
18:16.03wethrinEww
18:16.23dick_turpinI sold it to pay for the solution ;-)
18:16.24wethrinMore seriously, though - can you have fewer pictures per page, and split the album into many pages?
18:16.48morsingwethrin: *sigh*  Irrelevant
18:16.55wethrinWhat is?
18:16.57morsingwethrin: ??
18:16.59morsingPHP
18:17.09morsingYou can do whatever you want
18:17.31wethrinhttp://eco.li/photos/2005/05-Stockholm/05-Stockholm.shtml
18:17.59morsingClever - will be implemented in version 2
18:18.37wethrinMine's what I get my using iPhoto's web page export, and then fiddling the HTML a bit
18:24.37dick_turpinI picked up a 'Perl for beginners' in Waterstones but it scared me so I put it back
18:25.16wethrinheh
18:25.22dick_turpinGot the Beano anual instead
18:25.42wethrinbit more on your level?
18:25.53dick_turpinYep
18:25.58wethrinMy web page fiddling is done with ed scripts
18:26.08wethrined++ # scriptable
18:27.00dick_turpinIs that like c++ ?
18:28.19wethrinNo
18:28.20wethrinFortunately
18:30.53dick_turpinNever heard of it, is it yet another obscure app that about three people in the world use like emacs?
18:31.44wethrined is the standard unix editor
18:32.33dick_turpinNa, vi is :-P
18:32.44wethrinvi is just a GUI on top of ed
18:33.23*** join/#gllug boudiccas (n=boudicca@88-108-7-0.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
18:34.42dick_turpinSo if vi is a gui on top how the hell do you see what you are editing with 'ed' ?
18:35.41wethrinYou can get it to print the line
18:35.47wethrinThen you just need to work out where to go on the line
18:35.56wethrinAnd you can get it to print out the line again after you've finished editing it
18:36.04morsingboudiccas!
18:36.10wethrinIt works far better if you use a teletype
18:36.37morsingteletype++
18:36.45morsingdick_turpin: ed is like edlin from DOS
18:36.52wethrinbut better
18:37.11morsingObviously
18:37.18dick_turpinJeeze! It would be less painful shoving pins under your fingernails
18:37.29wethrinYep
18:37.40dick_turpinCheers morsing
18:37.43morsingdick_turpin: ed++
18:37.46wethrinBut it's actually really handy for scripting
18:38.20dick_turpinWhy?
18:38.32morsingBeer
18:38.38wethrinIf, say, you need to insert multiple lines into a file
18:38.52wethrinOr put something in on the 5th line of every file
18:39.56morsingBeer
18:40.34wethrinyou're drawing attention to yourself again
18:40.43dick_turpinHm, I think I see where you're going, but isn't there some CLI voodoo for that?
18:40.54wethrinYes. ed :)
18:41.22dick_turpinYou bugger ;-)
18:42.39wethrinawk is handy for transforming text
18:42.39wethrinBut not for actually editing it
18:43.35dick_turpinAwk I've heard of that one
18:47.42morsingBeer
18:48.20boudiccasbeer
18:48.38dick_turpinStilton and Carrs water buscuits
18:48.48wethrin*Please* stop saying Beer
18:50.07morsingBeer
18:50.25dick_turpinRotfl
18:51.27wethrinno, seriously.
18:52.24wethrinit's not bad occasionally. But 80% of what you say is 'Beer'
18:53.35wethrinhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/7807210.stm # morsing - want a proper classic car?
18:54.01morsingCool

18:56.12morsingBut first...
18:56.14morsingSleep!
18:56.24wethrinnight
18:58.25dick_turpinWethrin did you see the story about the uncle who left a lock-up to his relatives? Inside was a Buggati (6 million quid) an e-type aand an Aston Martin
18:58.56wethrindick_turpin: Please see the URL I posted :)
18:59.03wethrinIt was 3 million quid
18:59.16wethrinI'd love to have an E-type
18:59.28dick_turpindaily Telegraph said 6
18:59.31morsingdick_turpin: Pay attention
18:59.45morsingslaps dick_turpin with a mackerel
19:00.56wethrinOuch. They're not cheap, though
19:01.15wethrinCheapest on ebay is £16k
19:01.25morsingMackerels?
19:01.35dick_turpinMorsing if i bothered,to look at every URL (most of wich are drivel) I'd never get anything done
19:01.52wethrindick_turpin: Do you get anything done normally?
19:02.01morsingdick_turpin: *sigh*
19:02.29dick_turpinUm my customers get done I suppose
19:02.38wethrinAnyone got any playstation 2 games they want to get rid of?
19:04.39dick_turpinNo but one of my customers is giving me 50 DS games
19:04.56wethrinAnd a DS?
19:05.53dick_turpinNa I hate games, but the three ladies of the house had them for Christmas
19:06.00wethrinahhh
19:06.31dick_turpinIts my one good dead for the year
19:06.37dick_turpinDeed
19:07.00wethrinGetting free games off a customer, and claiming it's a Christmas present? :)
19:08.10dick_turpinHa, thats coz I'm so good at what I ndo they think they owe me. Rotfl
19:08.28wethrinHaha
19:08.32wethrinahem
19:09.02morsingBeer
19:10.16dick_turpinI think this N810 is playing up, keeps printing 'n' when I haven't touched n
19:10.29wethrinI should find something handy to do with my N810
19:11.06dick_turpinIf you do can you tell me please
19:11.45wethrinI'm thinking of a street mapping thing. Have a GPS receiver in one coat pocket, and have the N810 guiding me on a walk to some place
19:12.08wethrinI was planning on using it as a Satnav in my car. But now I have a real satnav
19:12.22wethrinI suppose it could be handy on some train journeys. But I also have an EeePC for that
19:12.36dick_turpinThe internal GPS is pants
19:12.40wethrinIt is
19:12.48wethrinOn a motorway, it took 20 minutes to find a signal
19:12.55wethrinI can get where I want in that time!
19:13.08dick_turpinI've yet to get one
19:13.12wethrinSo I got a little Bluetooth one off ebay
19:13.23wethrinIt worked
19:13.40wethrinI don't feel right selling the N810, though. Specially that I won it at Fosdem
19:13.48morsingBeer
19:14.25morsingdick_turpin: I'm better than you
19:14.33dick_turpinSame here (selling) wife bought mine
19:15.27dick_turpinMorsing in the scheme of things I doubt thats anything to shout about
