00:50.44eye69Hey Leeds
00:51.08Leedsmorning eye69
00:51.31eye69That would be evening. ;)
00:51.36eye6901.51 here.
00:51.49Leeds08:51 here
00:52.53Leedshad breakfast at a local cafe with my young lady, sent her to the MTR (metro, underground, tube, etc.) and came into work about 2 hours earlier than usual :-)
00:55.47eye69My fingers are itching to order a new 1TB drive...I've 300+750GB now and really want to get rid of the PATA 300GB one. It's really slowing down the array performance.
00:57.33LeedsI know the feeling
00:59.17eye69Right, something is really wrong now. Getting only about 5MBps on the Gb LAN.
00:59.31Leedsunder 70 quid for a 1 gig drive!
00:59.59Leedsunder 100 for a 1.5 gigger
01:02.39eye69I'd like something bigger than 1GB though... *pun* ;)
01:02.58eye69Hell, I've got 64G on my USB stick...
01:05.08Leedserm, yes - I'm not used to the terabyte world, even if I've got a 2TB fileserver at home :-)

11:00.56an0keyaww, I feel left out now :P
11:01.13mindbendrnever get drunk with linux geeks
11:02.05an0keySurely they don't drink
11:10.43mindbendri can understand if the geeks don't drink alcoholic beveraqes
11:10.56mindbendrand drinking coke is acceptable at that point
11:11.15mindbendri just can't stand the ones drinks water except anything else
11:17.11ChoHagI mostly drink water.
11:18.08ChoHagNot exclusively though.
11:22.21halidani has got *her* parents over next weekend so that would have been very good for me :)
11:22.36halishit timing
11:23.01bilarhnever mind, there will be other suitabletimes :)
11:23.10bilarhi think thor is up for a swedish pub night too
11:23.44wethrinmorsing: Unlikely
11:24.05ChoHagAre unix manuals used for anything other than propping up monitors?
11:24.54wethrinYes. Throwing at users
11:25.42morsingwethrin: :(
11:25.51morsingChoHag: Can you make it?
11:25.57ChoHagMake what?
11:26.50ChoHagI can make pudding.
12:03.02wethrinHey, if people wanted to have a social meeting, this Friday would be a good start
12:03.10wethrinSpecifically around 11.30pm
12:03.13ChoHagThe answer, according to the supplier, to the problem of our new backup system overloading the network, is to set the port speed to 10Mb.
12:03.23ChoHagBefore 11:30 surely?
12:03.23wethrinSilly supplier
12:03.28wethrinNo, it's after 11.30
12:04.02wethrinFri Feb 13 23:31:30 GMT 2009
12:04.09wethrinSo you'd need to find a pub that's open until midnight
12:04.48bilarhchohag: jesus :D
12:05.12bilarhchohag: i recommend replacing it with a db9 serial cable, that will get rid off all overload issues
12:05.19wethrinThat's DE9
12:05.20wethrinHTH HAND
12:05.28bilarhwethrin: thanks :)
12:05.33wethrinThe B shell is the one used on 25-pin connectors
12:05.37ChoHagwethrin: Yeah but we need to meet before 11:30 in order to party like it's 1234567890.
12:05.43wethrinChoHag: Well, clearly
12:05.46ChoHagOtherwise we'll be late.
12:06.07wethrinThe social meet can start earlier. But specifically has to be in full tilt at 23:31:30
12:07.04ChoHagWell I can be there, wherever there is.
12:07.10ChoHagDunno if I can get home again, but I can be there.
12:07.24wethrinsuggests someone posts about it
12:07.28wethrinAnd picks a pub
12:07.31wethrinI'm going to be in Durham
12:08.07ChoHagThen I definitely couldn't get home again.
12:24.52ChoHagFor any X, wikipedia has more useful information on X than X's or X's owner's official site.
12:28.29ChoHagAccording to these morons from the backup company, you cannot overwrite a VTL but must (manually) erase it first.
12:29.55haliyou usually just need to expire the tapes
12:30.00halithe vtapes
12:30.11ChoHagI think the backup software we use is just shit.
12:30.25haliwhat is it?
12:30.29halii use netbackup, pretty solid
12:30.31ChoHagIn fact, so does Paul, Mr. winmail.dat, who set it up.
12:30.35ChoHagBut they bought it anyway.
12:30.38ChoHagBrightstore.
12:39.53ChoHagEvery time I top-post I feel dirty and they insist that I do so here.

18:20.01morsingdick_turpin: If we ever meet, you *must* explain those stupid Churchill adverts to be
18:22.05morsingPeter?
18:22.16dick_turpinAlas I fear that will be an unattainable challenge
18:22.33morsingdick_turpin: They make *zero* sense
18:22.46morsingAnd why's it funny he ordered a korma?
18:23.12morsingdick_turpin: Is the guy making noises actually Rolf Harris? And what the dog trying to guess?
18:23.15wethrinThe Rolf Harris one makes perfect sense
18:23.20morsingwhat's
18:23.26morsingwethrin: Makes zero sense
18:23.27wethrinYou just need to know Rolf
18:23.33morsingwethrin: Enlighten me
18:23.49dick_turpinArrgh! because he used to do a show called Catch Phrase 9 times out of ten the contestants would get it wrong
18:24.05morsingdick_turpin: And what's the noises he makes?
18:24.06dick_turpinHe would say "Its good but its not right"
18:24.28morsingwethrin: Why's the korma thing funny?
18:24.29dick_turpinwethrin: Both do to me
18:24.33wethrinRolf is an all-round entertainer. One of his things was drawing, and while he was drawing he would ask"Do you know what it is yet?"
18:24.46morsingwethrin: What's the noises about?
18:24.47wethrinI don't remember the advert sufficiently to comment
18:24.52wethrinSigh
18:25.02wethrinI would tell you, if you gave me a chance to actually type
18:25.14morsingwethrin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8F9yQf-7TU
18:25.29wethrinRolf's also a musician. One of his famous instruments is the wobble-board
18:25.36wethrinI'm not looking at that, I'm going home
18:25.40morsing*sigh*
18:25.42dick_turpinsupposedly Aborigines sing like that (They don't actually) its one of Rolf's trade marks
18:25.50morsingSo what's the dog trying to guess? The music?
18:25.59dick_turpinwethrin: wait I have something really funny
18:26.00wethrinNo, the furniture
18:26.08morsingAnd still no-one has explained the korma joke
18:26.10wethrinIt's flat-pack furniture, which he's building up
18:26.26wethrinhometime
18:26.27morsingwethrin: Yes... And he starts making noises and the dog goes "oh no"
18:26.45morsingibot korma is not funny
18:26.46ibotmorsing: okay
18:26.50morsingibot korma
18:26.51ibotkorma is, like, not funny
18:26.54wethrinThe oh no is in response to the 'can yuo tell what it is yet'
18:26.57morsingibot: Good bot
18:26.57ibotmorsing: :)
18:27.03morsingwethrin: no it's not
18:27.10wethrinI think it is
18:27.13morsingwethrin: Watch it first, then comment
18:27.14wethrinBut I don't have the advert to hand
18:27.18wethrinICBA
18:27.23morsingIt's certainly not
18:27.34wethrinOkay. Well, I don't care sufficiently at the moment
18:27.36wethrinbye!
