10:10.01 | ChoHag | Yay! Another week of toil! |
10:12.48 | bilarh | anyone know if it's possible to run two tns aliases for the same instance in oracle? |
10:14.38 | ChoHag | Probably. That's implied by 'alias'. |

11:25.53 | ChoHag | Can you check for the vmx/svm CPU extension with an older kernel? |
11:35.28 | bilarh | jesus, ftse100 down 4.35% so far |
11:36.55 | bilarh | i wonder if it's worth a punt at 3500? |
11:38.46 | wethrin | bilarh: Long-term, probably yes. Short-term, no. |
11:39.04 | wethrin | ouch. pound's dropping again :( |
11:39.05 | bilarh | it seems to be bouncing off on around 3700 |
11:39.22 | cpufreak | wethrin: against what? |
11:39.27 | wethrin | USD and EUR |
11:39.35 | bilarh | against the ZBW |
11:39.37 | wethrin | Oh, and CAD |
11:39.41 | cpufreak | against the EUR is good |
11:39.47 | wethrin | Not for us! |
11:39.48 | cpufreak | I was worried with it creeping up to 1.12 |
11:39.58 | wethrin | needs more lab equipment |
11:40.05 | cpufreak | what stuff do you need? |
11:40.09 | bilarh | wethrin: it's good for our manufacturing indu... oh :( |
11:40.11 | wethrin | A spin coater |
11:40.16 | wethrin | We're ordering a glovebox at 90k EUR |
11:40.21 | cpufreak | oh not like networking stuff :) |
11:40.23 | wethrin | No :) |
11:40.28 | cpufreak | forgets there are other types of labs |
11:40.35 | wethrin | Why, do you have nice stuff going free? :) |
11:41.07 | wethrin | (specifically, say, some Cisco 1000bT GBICs) |
11:42.17 | wethrin | So, I also need a spin-coater at about £4k. So if the euro drops to 1.14, we're okay money-wise |
11:43.46 | ChoHag | Ah that's better. I've had nearly no spam for a week until today. I wondered what had happened. |
11:43.54 | ChoHag | Now things seem to be back to normal. |
11:44.06 | wethrin | mail servers broken? |
11:44.10 | ChoHag | No. |
11:44.13 | ChoHag | Well not mine anyway. |
11:50.25 | ChoHag | "experienced Linux Systems Administrator with some PHP skills" |
11:50.30 | ChoHag | Sound like a webmonkey much? |
11:50.45 | bilarh | chohag: what's the pay like? |
11:50.51 | ChoHag | Not mentioned. |
11:51.06 | bilarh | ok |
11:51.26 | wethrin | Probably £18k, then |
11:51.40 | wethrin | will do it for £45k |
11:51.54 | bilarh | i'd consider a 45k job now as well, if it was *fun* |
11:52.09 | wethrin | Hey, it's a payrise :) |
11:52.31 | bilarh | my conundrum is this |
11:52.36 | wethrin | I don't want to go back to IT, though. So I'd need a decent £££ incentive to do so |
11:52.39 | bilarh | do i stay in a job where i'm bored sick |
11:52.47 | bilarh | but with some kind of job security, at least for 2009 |
11:53.08 | bilarh | or do I try to find a different job which nmight be fun (they exist, I've had one a couple of times) |
11:53.15 | bilarh | but which might be less stable |
11:53.18 | wethrin | Hunt for a new job, but don't give up your current one |
11:53.22 | bilarh | and probably a lot less pay |
11:53.50 | ChoHag | I'd do that for 45. |
11:54.07 | ChoHag | Especially if it's actually honest where they say sysadmin with a bit of php. |
11:55.21 | bilarh | how bad is this, my daydream is to be made redundant :D |
11:56.13 | wethrin | Is bilarh going to turn into Wally (from Dilbert)? |
11:56.28 | bilarh | you have to use past tense, i'm afraid |
12:00.30 | wethrin | oh |

12:11.07 | ChoHag | Why have dell made this so complicated? |
12:11.47 | ChoHag | I have a disk image in an exe I can't extract on a system with no floppy drive or I have the bios image with nowhere to shove it. |
12:12.21 | ChoHag | Would giving me a plain (compressed) image file really have hurt? |
12:13.29 | ChoHag | I am capable of running gunzip and dd, and dd is unnecessary anyway because I have a virtual floppy drive - THEIR virtual floppy drive - on the server. |

12:46.11 | wethrin | Pah. I don't care if it drops at the end of the month |
12:46.23 | wethrin | I just want the Euro to collapse a bit for the next couple of weeks |
12:46.48 | wethrin | Oh, and again for a week or so in June |

15:38.47 | ChoHag | Windows licensing is stupid. |
15:39.02 | ChoHag | We can't run a test server for a few weeks unless we buy a £500 license. |
15:42.11 | mindbendr | have you tried asking to MS |
15:42.19 | mindbendr | they might provide such a license? |
15:44.55 | ChoHag | No. I need to test interaction between linux and windows servers, so I wanted to set up a test environment. |
15:45.32 | antiphase | http://piratebay.org/ |
15:47.11 | mindbendr | we had such an issue, the commercial helpdesk ticket system needs an ms office library to generate some reports which you only could get the library when you install ms office |
15:47.29 | mindbendr | so just to generate a chart, the company bought a license of ms office. |
15:47.36 | ChoHag | Yeah that was my first thought, and in fact I already have a copy of the CDs at home, but I thought they might like to do things 'legitimately'. For some definition of legitimate. |
15:47.42 | mindbendr | it was just a .dll file. |
