07:44.20 | morsing | ChoHag: Logged in ok this morning? |
07:52.44 | morsing | kraptv: Where did ChoHag go? |
08:54.52 | j0nr | morning morning |
08:55.50 | morsing | j0nr! |
08:58.08 | Mohan | morning! |
08:58.11 | morsing | Mohan! |
08:58.22 | Mohan | morsing! |
09:01.05 | morsing | OMG - I just realised when you click on a photo in Firefox for full-size it centers on the point you clicked! |
09:05.26 | morsing | Mohan? |
09:06.15 | morsing | j0nr? |
09:11.02 | morsing | sabinef72: Where's j0nr? |
09:16.52 | j0nr | morsing: you're just a robot aren't you |
09:17.05 | morsing | Beer |
09:17.16 | morsing | j0nr: Aren't you happy for me? |
09:17.28 | j0nr | morsing: do you dream |
09:17.29 | j0nr | ? |
09:17.32 | morsing | Yes |
09:17.41 | morsing | Had a dream about Helen last night |
09:17.47 | j0nr | Helen? |
09:17.53 | j0nr | Is she a robot? |
09:17.55 | morsing | No |
09:18.02 | morsing | Doesn't feel like one anyway |
09:18.12 | j0nr | In reality or in your dream? |
09:18.18 | morsing | In reality |
09:19.50 | morsing | j0nr: What's for breakfast? |
09:20.54 | morsing | Mohan: Where's j0nr? |
09:22.17 | morsing | wethrin: ping |
09:22.25 | wethrin | pong |
09:23.43 | morsing | wethrin!! |
09:23.46 | morsing | *kiss* :) |
09:23.58 | wethrin | gah |
09:24.02 | morsing | hag? |
09:28.38 | Mohan | what would happen if you pay a credit card bill the next day after due date ? |
09:28.49 | j0nr | morsing: no breakfast |
09:28.55 | Mohan | would they be charging extra ? |
09:29.24 | wethrin | In theory, yes |
09:29.41 | wethrin | In practice, they might just wave it if it's your first offence |
09:29.53 | wethrin | This is why I pay my cards by direct debit each month |
09:29.56 | Mohan | but what if i paid at the 23.59 of yesterday |
09:30.15 | Mohan | it would still be cleared only today morning |
09:30.25 | wethrin | Probably wouldn't have arrived into your card account straight away |
09:30.39 | Mohan | so making a payment today morning does the same |
09:31.16 | Mohan | its the same bank and its a direct bank transfer and they claim that the credit would relfect in 2 hours. |
09:31.19 | wethrin | Depends when they do their batch jobs |
09:31.33 | wethrin | oh ,maybe. See what happens on your next statement |
09:32.09 | morsing | Mohan: They will. They can't wave at anyone, it's automated |
09:32.39 | Mohan | i think credit card payments are cleared manually |
09:33.42 | Mohan | and the sad part is, it reflects in the credit report as well with a payment made default. |
09:34.18 | wethrin | Eh. If it's the first time it's happened, I wouldn't bother about it |
09:34.25 | morsing | Mohan: Ermm... Well, no wonder the banks are going down then, if they haven't even discovered computers |
09:34.44 | morsing | Mohan: It doesn't affect your credit rating for a one-off |
09:34.47 | wethrin | It might take them an extra few months to whack another £500 on your credit card limit.... |
09:35.06 | wethrin | And if it's happened more often, it's a sign to set up a direct debit |
09:36.38 | Mohan | banks make thier profit with the minimum payment and i simply hate it. |
09:36.56 | wethrin | So pay the full amount |
09:36.58 | wethrin | It's what I do |
09:36.59 | morsing | Errmmm... What?! |
09:37.13 | Mohan | i always did that. |
09:37.34 | Mohan | its just this time i missed the date. |
09:38.01 | wethrin | Yeah. I pay the full amount by DD |
09:38.32 | morsing | Mohan: Stop bloody fretting! Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning? |
09:39.24 | wethrin | Right. Time to go. Have a good day, folks! |
09:39.49 | morsing | Bye!! |
09:39.57 | Mohan | nope, it the same side. |
09:40.03 | Mohan | bye. |
09:40.06 | morsing | Mohan: Stop taking drugs then |
09:40.21 | morsing | Mohan: I'll give you the 3p if you want |
09:41.01 | Mohan | morsing: i appreciate your generosity. |
09:41.07 | Mohan | thanks. |
09:41.15 | morsing | Well... I don't want you to starve... |
09:43.02 | Mohan | wonders what he can do with his luck fortune of 3p |
09:43.14 | Mohan | err.. lucky |
09:43.26 | morsing | Mohan: You didn't make 3p - I just offered to pay off your credit card interest |
09:43.38 | morsing | Don't spend it on food |
09:45.12 | Mohan | morsing: my credit card intrest would be around 50£ |
09:45.35 | morsing | No way - if that's the case you owe more than £10k on it |
09:45.53 | morsing | Sorry, did you say 50p? |
09:46.01 | morsing | My character set is off, sorry |
09:46.12 | morsing | Well, 50p then - who cares |
09:46.25 | morsing | I'll buy you a drink if you stop moaning about it |
09:46.40 | Mohan | i said its 50 pounds. |
09:46.57 | morsing | Rubbish - so you spent more than £10k on it? |
09:47.07 | morsing | Christmas presents for your friends? |
09:47.41 | hali | morning |
09:47.45 | morsing | Or where did you get this "credit card"? That corner in Brixton? |
09:47.50 | morsing | hali! |
09:48.05 | hali | ugh, shit... hangover |
09:48.26 | morsing | hali: Listen to this, Mohan has a credit card that charges £50 for paying a day late, and that's interest, not a fee! |
09:49.07 | Mohan | nope its a different card i took from high street. has a visa logo on it. |
09:49.10 | morsing | That would be like £20k interest per year |
09:49.25 | Mohan | what would be the intrest for 2K ? |
09:49.49 | morsing | Well <£1 |
09:49.55 | hali | whats the APR on the card? |
09:50.03 | Mohan | 14.9% |
09:50.11 | hali | thats not too bad |
09:54.16 | Mohan | bye guys - time for work. |
09:55.16 | morsing | Mohan: Just tried an interest calculator and you'll pay around 40p interest on that |
09:55.32 | morsing | Mohan: Did you go to school? |
10:09.46 | ChoHag | Using commercial software really makes you appreciate apt and dpkg. |
10:12.04 | hali | some commercial software companies let you use apt and dpkg |
10:12.53 | ChoHag | Well 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. |
10:13.13 | hali | oracle has got their own apt repo |
10:13.45 | ChoHag | Yeah I think it has a library in it. |
10:14.43 | ChoHag | Actually that's not fair - it does contain oracle xe in the non-free part. |

10:45.58 | ChoHag | The winmail twat is at it again. |
10:46.08 | ChoHag | This time bullshitting about compression. |
10:46.44 | ChoHag | A network admin who can't understand why a 100Mb line is achieving about 8MB/s. |
10:47.53 | morsing | winmail? |
10:48.11 | ChoHag | See yesterday. |
10:48.34 | ChoHag | He thinks winmail.dat says where the email has been and doesn't know what happened to the attachments. |
10:57.27 | morsing | I think he's right |
10:58.55 | ChoHag | Not about the attachments. |
10:59.14 | morsing | I wouldn't have a clue - what's winmail.dat?? |
10:59.28 | morsing | Anyone here interested in a Debenhams voucher? |

11:06.45 | morsing | ChoHag: Can I interest you in a Debenhams voucher? |
11:07.03 | ChoHag | I don't know. Can you? |
11:07.49 | antiphase | You could just go to Debenhams and exchange it for goods |

12:34.24 | z00dax | also, which version of ext3 ? |
12:35.15 | antiphase | You end up with big clusters because of the inode limit on file systems that size with ext3 |
12:35.28 | antiphase | not to mention XFS being better for writing |

13:09.07 | antiphase | Funny things go on when you send broadcasts |
13:11.00 | kjs | afternoon chaps |
13:13.20 | ChoHag | In this case, it is simply than linux or dhcp doesn't like the long interface name. |

13:17.25 | j0nr | if 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? |
13:21.43 | antiphase | It is possible |
13:38.36 | j0nr | any idea how? |
13:38.44 | j0nr | or where to look? keywords? |
13:46.36 | antiphase | ls |
13:50.19 | chillitom | j0nr, yeah that's possible |
13:50.31 | chillitom | you'll need, a for loop.. |

15:26.40 | AndyMillar | boudiccas: i need to be able to print colour too |
15:26.46 | AndyMillar | just restrict it to specific users |

16:39.10 | Nafallo | hehe. 743.77 UDP connections average ;-) |
16:39.28 | Nafallo | max at 12.36k |
16:39.44 | Nafallo | small values compared to ntp.ubuntu.com :-) |
16:42.42 | chillitom | i thought the whole thing about UDP was that it didn't have connections.. |
