07:44.12morsingChoHag!
07:44.20morsingChoHag: Logged in ok this morning?
07:52.44morsingkraptv: Where did ChoHag go?
08:54.52j0nrmorning morning
08:55.50morsingj0nr!
08:58.08Mohanmorning!
08:58.11morsingMohan!
08:58.22Mohanmorsing!
09:01.05morsingOMG - I just realised when you click on a photo in Firefox for full-size it centers on the point you clicked!
09:05.26morsingMohan?
09:06.15morsingj0nr?
09:11.02morsingsabinef72: Where's j0nr?
09:16.52j0nrmorsing: you're just a robot aren't you
09:17.05morsingBeer
09:17.16morsingj0nr: Aren't you happy for me?
09:17.28j0nrmorsing: do you dream
09:17.29j0nr?
09:17.32morsingYes
09:17.41morsingHad a dream about Helen last night
09:17.47j0nrHelen?
09:17.53j0nrIs she a robot?
09:17.55morsingNo
09:18.02morsingDoesn't feel like one anyway
09:18.12j0nrIn reality or in your dream?
09:18.18morsingIn reality
09:19.50morsingj0nr: What's for breakfast?
09:20.54morsingMohan: Where's j0nr?
09:22.17morsingwethrin: ping
09:22.25wethrinpong
09:23.43morsingwethrin!!
09:23.46morsing*kiss*  :)
09:23.58wethringah
09:24.02morsinghag?
09:28.38Mohanwhat would happen if you pay a credit card bill the next day after due date ?
09:28.49j0nrmorsing: no breakfast
09:28.55Mohanwould they be charging extra ?
09:29.24wethrinIn theory, yes
09:29.41wethrinIn practice, they might just wave it if it's your first offence
09:29.53wethrinThis is why I pay my cards by direct debit each month
09:29.56Mohanbut what if i paid at the 23.59 of yesterday
09:30.15Mohanit would still be cleared only today morning
09:30.25wethrinProbably wouldn't have arrived into your card account straight away
09:30.39Mohanso making a payment today morning does the same
09:31.16Mohanits the same bank and its a direct bank transfer and they claim that the credit would relfect in 2 hours.
09:31.19wethrinDepends when they do their batch jobs
09:31.33wethrinoh ,maybe. See what happens on your next statement
09:32.09morsingMohan: They will. They can't wave at anyone, it's automated
09:32.39Mohani think credit card payments are cleared manually
09:33.42Mohanand the sad part is, it reflects in the credit report as well with a payment made default.
09:34.18wethrinEh. If it's the first time it's happened, I wouldn't bother about it
09:34.25morsingMohan: Ermm... Well, no wonder the banks are going down then, if they haven't even discovered computers
09:34.44morsingMohan: It doesn't affect your credit rating for a one-off
09:34.47wethrinIt might take them an extra few months to whack another £500 on your credit card limit....
09:35.06wethrinAnd if it's happened more often, it's a sign to set up a direct debit
09:36.38Mohanbanks make thier profit with the minimum payment and i simply hate it.
09:36.56wethrinSo pay the full amount
09:36.58wethrinIt's what I do
09:36.59morsingErrmmm... What?!
09:37.13Mohani always did that.
09:37.34Mohanits just this time i missed the date.
09:38.01wethrinYeah. I pay the full amount by DD
09:38.32morsingMohan: Stop bloody fretting! Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning?
09:39.24wethrinRight. Time to go. Have a good day, folks!
09:39.49morsingBye!!
09:39.57Mohannope, it the same side.
09:40.03Mohanbye.
09:40.06morsingMohan: Stop taking drugs then
09:40.21morsingMohan: I'll give you the 3p if you want
09:41.01Mohanmorsing: i appreciate your generosity.
09:41.07Mohanthanks.
09:41.15morsingWell... I don't want you to starve...
09:43.02Mohanwonders what he can do with his luck fortune of 3p
09:43.14Mohanerr.. lucky
09:43.26morsingMohan: You didn't make 3p - I just offered to pay off your credit card interest
09:43.38morsingDon't spend it on food
09:45.12Mohanmorsing: my credit card intrest would be around 50£
09:45.35morsingNo way - if that's the case you owe more than £10k on it
09:45.53morsingSorry, did you say 50p?
09:46.01morsingMy character set is off, sorry
09:46.12morsingWell, 50p then - who cares
09:46.25morsingI'll buy you a drink if you stop moaning about it
09:46.40Mohani said its 50 pounds.
09:46.57morsingRubbish - so you spent more than £10k on it?
09:47.07morsingChristmas presents for your friends?
09:47.41halimorning
09:47.45morsingOr where did you get this "credit card"? That corner in Brixton?
09:47.50morsinghali!
09:48.05haliugh, shit... hangover
09:48.26morsinghali: Listen to this, Mohan has a credit card that charges £50 for paying a day late, and that's interest, not a fee!
09:49.07Mohannope its a different card i took from high street. has a visa logo on it.
09:49.10morsingThat would be like £20k interest per year
09:49.25Mohanwhat would be the intrest for 2K ?
09:49.49morsingWell <£1
09:49.55haliwhats the APR on the card?
09:50.03Mohan14.9%
09:50.11halithats not too bad
09:54.16Mohanbye guys - time for work.
09:55.16morsingMohan: Just tried an interest calculator and you'll pay around 40p interest on that
09:55.32morsingMohan: Did you go to school?
10:09.46ChoHagUsing commercial software really makes you appreciate apt and dpkg.
10:12.04halisome commercial software companies let you use apt and dpkg
10:12.53ChoHagWell I wish HP was one of them, but I'm glad I'm not the one having to deal with the fact that they don't.
10:13.13halioracle has got their own apt repo
10:13.45ChoHagYeah I think it has a library in it.
10:14.43ChoHagActually that's not fair - it does contain oracle xe in the non-free part.
10:14.59morsingChoHag: lpp++
10:15.11morsingChoHag: SUMA++
10:15.28ChoHag...
10:45.58ChoHagThe winmail twat is at it again.
10:46.08ChoHagThis time bullshitting about compression.
10:46.44ChoHagA network admin who can't understand why a 100Mb line is achieving about 8MB/s.
10:47.53morsingwinmail?
10:48.11ChoHagSee yesterday.
10:48.34ChoHagHe thinks winmail.dat says where the email has been and doesn't know what happened to the attachments.
10:57.27morsingI think he's right
10:58.55ChoHagNot about the attachments.
10:59.14morsingI wouldn't have a clue - what's winmail.dat??
10:59.28morsingAnyone here interested in a Debenhams voucher?
10:59.37ChoHagTNEF - used by outlook to do what MIME does for everybody else.

11:02.41morsingDoes anyone know if I can exchange a Debenhams voucher for cash?
11:03.39ChoHagOf course you can.
11:03.41ChoHag0.0001p
11:06.45morsingChoHag: Can I interest you in a Debenhams voucher?
11:07.03ChoHagI don't know. Can you?
11:07.49antiphaseYou could just go to Debenhams and exchange it for goods
11:07.55ChoHagCan you tell me why my bridge isn't working?
11:08.07morsingChoHag: *sigh*
11:08.08cpufreakhaven't Debenhams gone bust?
11:08.13antiphaseToo many trolls under the bridge
11:08.14morsingChoHag: I can't afford that
11:08.21morsingantiphase: I can't afford that
11:08.37cpufreakmorsing: get a job then
11:08.41ChoHagYou can't afford to get free stuff?
11:08.44morsingcpufreak: Idiot
11:08.53morsingChoHag: It's not free
11:09.07ChoHagNot a very good voucher then is it?
11:09.07antiphaseDon't tell me, it costs 20 minutes
11:09.11cpufreakyou're the one who can't afford shit... and you call me the idiot
11:09.31morsingcpufreak: Idiot
11:09.34morsingantiphase: Idiot

11:31.03morsingj0nr: Trust is the issue...
11:31.06morsingBut thanks
11:34.51ChoHagAh that's why my bridge wasn't working.
11:38.49ChoHagNeed to bring the interfaces up.
11:41.10morsingBeer
11:42.44halitheir ostandards
11:43.57morsinghali: Read the USB standard for current draw
11:44.01morsingIt's 0.1A
11:45.02halipowered usb power are 1.8A
11:45.09haliports*
11:45.24morsingAnd this is defined where?!
11:47.49haliusb 2.0 power spec
11:53.42morsingBeer
12:08.45chillitomdon't usb devices have to negotiate their power usage?
12:09.03chillitomyou can draw f'all until you ask for it and then you might not get it
12:14.16antiphaseUSB always used to be limited to 500mA
12:14.21antiphaseWhen I were a lad
12:14.57ChoHag"Connections into the dmz are slow"
12:14.59antiphaseI'd like to see you get nearly 2 amps down the hair-wide cable you usually get
12:15.09ChoHag"Well are you sure it's not your box? The network's fine."

12:26.04morsingrhowe!
12:28.24NafalloAndyMillar: porn!?
12:28.30AndyMillarNafallo: sadly not
12:28.49NafalloI would think 20TB porn were sad actually...
12:28.56Nafallomust take AGES to find the good stuff.
12:29.34AndyMillarheh
12:29.59AndyMillarthere's no way i'm creating a 20TB ext3 fs :p
12:30.20Nafalloext4? :-)
12:33.51z00daxAndyMillar: why not ext3 ?
12:34.24z00daxalso, which version of ext3 ?
12:35.15antiphaseYou end up with big clusters because of the inode limit on file systems that size with ext3
12:35.28antiphasenot to mention XFS being better for writing
12:36.24antiphasestarts a holy war
12:37.06Nafalloext4?
12:37.24cpufreakext4 is essentially unproven.
12:37.44Nafalloyea. someone should prove it then... /me looks at AndyMillar ;-)

12:51.20morsingdick_turpin!
13:00.20ChoHagWhy does dhcpd say no such device?
13:05.10antiphaseMaybe the device does not exist
13:07.08ChoHagAh but it does.
13:07.30ChoHagOtherwise how would the DHCPDISCOVER arrive?
13:08.37antiphaseDepends
13:09.07antiphaseFunny things go on when you send broadcasts
13:11.00kjsafternoon chaps
13:13.20ChoHagIn this case, it is simply than linux or dhcp doesn't like the long interface name.
13:13.28ChoHagAnd now to lunch.
13:13.46antiphaseIs it longer than "ethN"?
13:13.57ChoHagIt was.
13:14.19ChoHagbr_monnsta_6_1
13:14.22ChoHagNow it is just br3
13:14.34antiphase3... Oh dear
13:14.57ChoHagYou can moan at me later.
13:15.05ChoHagIt works and I'm hungry.
13:16.26j0nris it possible to rename a bunch of avi files to include their 'date created on' as part of the filename?
13:17.25j0nrif you right-click a file and get properties of an avi it usually gives you 'date created on' ....can i get to that somehow in a script to rename the files?
13:21.43antiphaseIt is possible
13:38.36j0nrany idea how?
13:38.44j0nror where to look? keywords?
13:46.36antiphasels
13:50.19chillitomj0nr, yeah that's possible
13:50.31chillitomyou'll need, a for loop..
13:50.36chillitoma bash substitution
13:50.51chillitomstat and some grep or wawk magic
13:50.58chillitoms/wawk/awk
13:56.29morsingBeer
13:58.45j0nrbut ls just gives me last modified date doesn't it?
14:00.12ChoHagwawk sounds so much more fun.
14:00.36ChoHagOr possibly more avian.
14:07.00ChoHagHow do you say 'on the next 3 lines do <X>' on vi?
14:07.24ChoHagOther than ma3j:'a,.
14:11.21ChoHagActually that would be 2j not 3j
14:29.20chillitomChoHag, what do you want to do?

15:23.24AndyMillarhmm
15:23.34AndyMillarany ideas how I can restrict colour printing using cups?
15:23.48boudiccasturn off the colour printer?
15:24.15morsingTurn off cups
15:24.45ChoHagTake the colour cartridges out and place them in a cup.
15:26.40AndyMillarboudiccas: i need to be able to print colour too
15:26.46AndyMillarjust restrict it to specific users
15:44.27ChoHagIs it worth restricting ntp to only access a server on the lan?
15:47.18morsingBeer
16:00.23cpufreakChoHag: just use pool.ntp.org
16:00.55ChoHagThat's what I do.
16:01.09morsingCawfy
16:02.09Nafallorealise that means ChoHag is potentially using his IRC-server... ;-)
16:02.22ChoHag?
16:02.25morsing?
16:02.38Nafallomy irc server is in the pool
16:02.45ChoHagAh.

16:02.58Nafallostratum 2 :-)
16:02.59boudiccasthen fish it out quick, theyre not designed to be used underwater
16:03.14Nafallooh. right. /me blames sickness
16:03.48ChoHagWell that hardly makes me a member of a restricted group.
16:12.57Nafalloit doesn't :-)
16:13.35Nafalloquite weird to see the amount of pps ntp does sometimes ;-)
16:14.17ChoHagpps?
16:28.25AndyMillar<PROTECTED>
16:30.37Nafallopackets per second
16:31.16ChoHagHigh is it?
16:32.27Nafallowas a while since I checked. let's see if I can resurrect the data.
16:37.38Nafallowas a while since I ran munin on that box, but it was about 1k by the looks of things.
16:39.10Nafallohehe. 743.77 UDP connections average ;-)
16:39.28Nafallomax at 12.36k
16:39.44Nafallosmall values compared to ntp.ubuntu.com :-)
16:42.42chillitomi thought the whole thing about UDP was that it didn't have connections..
16:42.49chillitomjust packets and destinations
16:48.13Nafallowell, munin calls it connections. I would probably say hits :-)
