08:43.40 | j0nr | morning all |
09:05.14 | ChoHag | "BCR1390 is not correct, the screen is showing 2006 dates, please advise?" |
09:05.28 | ChoHag | Advise? What kind of advice do you want? |
09:10.47 | sabinef72 | morning all |
09:14.18 | Leeds | bon soir sabinef72 |
09:14.29 | Leeds | ooh, actually I had a question for you |
09:14.59 | Leeds | sabinef72: if I wanted to fly from Paris to Malaga, any advice on where to find cheap flights? or what airline to look at? |
09:15.31 | sabinef72 | iberia |
09:15.46 | Leeds | better Iberia than a French airline? |
09:15.50 | sabinef72 | yes |
09:16.03 | Leeds | thanks |
09:16.12 | sabinef72 | when I went in malaga 2 years ago, I used Iberia |
09:16.27 | Leeds | ah, personal experience, excellent :-) |
09:16.40 | sabinef72 | French airline are more expensive because you can have drink, eat.... |
09:16.50 | sabinef72 | Iberia if you want to eat, you have to pay |
09:17.06 | Leeds | I am planning to go to Spain in the summer with my gf, and I'm trying to work in a day in Paris on the way, so fly to Paris overnight, then fly to Malaga the next night |
09:17.28 | sabinef72 | you should have a look on ebookers.com |
09:17.57 | sabinef72 | from HK or UK ? |
09:17.57 | Leeds | oh, also, I now have a new HK visa :-D |
09:18.24 | sabinef72 | London - Paris then Paris - Malaga ? |
09:19.26 | Leeds | er, no |
09:19.34 | Leeds | Hong Kong->Paris, then Paris->Malaga |
09:20.00 | sabinef72 | waooooo a long long trip ! |
09:20.04 | Leeds | yes |
09:20.30 | sabinef72 | rest a "good" night in Paris should be a good idea |
09:20.34 | Leeds | but Air France are one of the cheaper airlines from Hong Kong to Europe, so I thought it sounded cool to do a day in Paris |
09:20.40 | sabinef72 | HK - Paris : 10 hours ? |
09:20.45 | Leeds | problem with a night is that it's expensive, need a hotel |
09:20.50 | Leeds | probably more like 12 |
09:21.04 | Leeds | in Malaga we have my parents' apartment |
09:21.04 | sabinef72 | depends what you want to do |
09:21.14 | sabinef72 | only sleep, or sleep +visit ? |
09:21.19 | Leeds | visit |
09:21.31 | Leeds | we'll sleep in Spain :-) |
09:21.46 | sabinef72 | no sleep in a hotel in Paris ? |
09:22.47 | Leeds | Air France fly similar times to the UK airlines, so the plane arrives in from Hong Kong around 6am... if we can get a flight to Malaga at, say, 8pm, that would get us to Spain to sleep, but let us have a day in Paris |
09:23.16 | Leeds | hmm... Iberia is not direct |
09:24.08 | sabinef72 | well it was direct for me : Paris - Malaga ! |
09:24.27 | sabinef72 | will you arrive at Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly ? |
09:24.33 | Leeds | dunno |
09:24.37 | sabinef72 | we have 2 big airports in Paris |
09:24.53 | z00dax | how big ? |
09:24.56 | sabinef72 | CDG is far away from Paris center but you can take a special train (RER) |
09:24.57 | z00dax | <---> big ? |
09:25.17 | sabinef72 | Orly is less far than the first one, but you have a special train also |
09:25.36 | sabinef72 | z00dax: I dunno how to say... but very very big ! |
09:25.45 | Leeds | bigger than Heathrow? |
09:25.52 | Leeds | bigger than a breadbox? |
09:25.57 | sabinef72 | I never went in Heathrow |
09:26.07 | Leeds | then you are a very lucky woman :-) |
09:26.18 | sabinef72 | bigger than Malaga's airport ! that's sure ! |
09:26.33 | sabinef72 | but less than the stupid Madrid's airport ! |
09:26.42 | Leeds | yeah, Malaga is small... I never went to Madrid |
09:26.58 | Leeds | I would also ask about Gibraltar, but I know nobody flies there from Paris... |
09:27.54 | sabinef72 | when I went to south of america, my flight for Paris arrived to a gate (I don't remember the number) and my flights for Santiago de Chile was at the opposite... |
09:28.07 | sabinef72 | it took me 50 min to go there ! |
09:29.07 | sabinef72 | do you ever been in Paris Leeds ? |
09:29.18 | sabinef72 | have you .... |
09:29.20 | Leeds | sure, a few times - I like it |
09:29.29 | Leeds | but by train, recently, of course |
09:29.29 | sabinef72 | and your gf ? |
09:29.38 | Leeds | no, she's never been to Europe at all |
09:29.55 | sabinef72 | train is a good avantage because the train station is already in paris' center |
09:30.25 | Leeds | yeah |
09:30.29 | sabinef72 | so you have to see usual monuments |
09:30.44 | sabinef72 | like eiffel tour ... |
09:31.07 | Leeds | she isn't that much of a sightseer - she wants to see the tower, and the Arc de Triomphe, because we saw models of them at a theme park in China |
09:31.18 | ChoHag | sabinef72: From the above conversation I gather you're French so, what do you know about the French visa process? |
09:31.22 | ChoHag | Does it suck as much as ours? |
09:31.50 | sabinef72 | yes I'm french and living in Paris |
09:32.10 | sabinef72 | I need a visa only once, to go to China |
09:32.39 | sabinef72 | I have to go to the ambassade, do papers, pay (of course), wait 2 weeks |
09:32.53 | ChoHag | So as far as you're aware your foreign office equivalent is actually nice? |
09:33.03 | sabinef72 | yes |
09:33.05 | ChoHag | I thought that until we started working on a visa for my now wife to come here. |
09:33.07 | Leeds | once I have my HK visa activated (I have it, but you have to leave HK and enter with the new visa for it to be activated) I then need to get a new China visa |
09:33.11 | sabinef72 | I didn't need visa for europ |
09:33.29 | Leeds | ChoHag: where's she from - or rather, what passport does she have? |
09:33.33 | ChoHag | Ukraine. |
09:33.37 | sabinef72 | and when I went to south of america or Thailand, I didn't need a visa because I staid less than 3 months |
09:33.43 | ChoHag | So getting pretty much anywhere is impossible. |
09:34.20 | ChoHag | Although now she's an Englishman's wife so things should begin to get easier. |
09:34.24 | ChoHag | Eventually. |
09:34.32 | sabinef72 | but she can go everywhere in Europ, true ? |
09:34.33 | Leeds | apparently HK/China passports are pretty good - enough that my gf is willing to give up her UK passport (because a renewal costs so much) and just use her Chinese one |
09:34.48 | ChoHag | No. |
09:34.52 | ChoHag | Just the UK. |
09:35.06 | sabinef72 | Leeds: for my chinese visa, I paid around 60 euros |
09:35.23 | Leeds | I'm talking about an unlimited-use 1 year one :-) |
09:35.35 | sabinef72 | Oh I see |
09:35.46 | sabinef72 | mine was for only one enter in China |
09:35.52 | sabinef72 | but I didn't need a visa for HK |
09:36.05 | Leeds | I don't need a visa to enter HK, but I do need one to live and work here |
09:37.00 | Leeds | although in practice you can easily live here for a year or more as a 'visitor' - particularly on a UK passport which gives 6 months stay at a time |
09:38.51 | sabinef72 | I want to visit China again !!!!!!!!!! |
09:39.15 | Leeds | come back to HK and we'll take you for a lovely massage and shop in Shenzhen :-) |
09:39.24 | ChoHag | I want to visit China for the first time. |
09:39.46 | Leeds | I want to... be a tree |
09:39.55 | sabinef72 | Leeds: next time I'll go to my friends' house near Ghanzhou |
09:40.12 | *** join/#gllug cityLights1 (n=cityLigh@bzq-84-108-36-168.cablep.bezeqint.net) |
09:40.13 | Leeds | you're not coming to visit me???? |
09:40.16 | ChoHag | China, Japan and India are three countries I'd especially like to visit. |
09:40.19 | Leeds | erev tov cityLights1 |
09:40.24 | sabinef72 | Ukraine is in Europ so why is she needing a visa ? |
09:40.28 | cityLights1 | wo you are quick |
09:40.45 | Leeds | I haven't been to Japan or India, but I have been to Sri Lanka |
09:40.48 | ChoHag | Geographically but not politically. |
09:40.48 | Leeds | cityLights1: yes, I am :-) |
09:40.52 | sabinef72 | Leeds: because from Ghanzhou to Hong Kong, I need to take boat... and last time I was sick during 3 hours !!!!!!! |
09:40.56 | cityLights1 | I all alone at home, I want my baby... |
09:41.11 | Leeds | ah... so we should come visit you instead? |
09:41.20 | sabinef72 | Leeds: better idea :D |
09:41.29 | Leeds | sure, just let me know when |
09:41.38 | sabinef72 | when Julie will be taller |
09:41.38 | cityLights1 | aint sabinef the guy I am soppose to pul his nose? |
09:41.54 | Leeds | either that, or lunch in Paris on (approximately) 19th July :-) |
09:42.11 | sabinef72 | of course ! |
09:42.11 | ChoHag | Politically it's independent with close ties to Russia. |
09:42.12 | cityLights1 | ok, what ever, I now want to compress alot of videos that are the caluculus 1 lectures |
09:42.34 | ChoHag | Don't compress them, just buy a bigger hard drive. |
09:43.03 | cityLights1 | so I am using the x264 encoder and mencoder , yet need to find a clear way to tell the output file name |
09:43.36 | Leeds | cityLights1: are you using mencoder to encode? |
09:43.52 | cityLights1 | yes |
09:44.15 | Leeds | so what's the problem with the filename? |
09:44.18 | ChoHag | Do we still not have a good free software gui transcoder? |
09:44.39 | Leeds | handbrake is actually pretty good at transcoding, and I think there is a Linux gui |
09:45.08 | cityLights1 | so the dvd rips are at /home/user/funf/17 .. 18 etc |
09:45.34 | cityLights1 | yesterday I got this line to use with pwd VIDEOOUT=`pwd|cut -d/ -f4,5|tr / .` |
09:45.57 | Leeds | er... what? |
09:46.03 | Mohan | morning all |
09:46.12 | sabinef72 | hi Mohan |
09:46.14 | cityLights1 | I initail used VIDEOOUT=$PWD|cut which didnt work - ovcourse |
09:46.21 | z00dax | we plan on being in Paris at sometime this summer as well |
09:46.38 | Mohan | hi sabinef72 |
09:46.54 | Mohan | hi z00dax |
09:46.59 | z00dax | hey Mohan |
09:47.05 | cityLights1 | Leeds: I need to have a var named VIDEOUT that will have the name of the output file mencoder generates accoring to the directory name |
09:47.30 | Leeds | oookay |
09:47.35 | Leeds | is there one file in each directory? |
09:48.04 | cityLights1 | now I also want to put .mp4 at the end, can't I just do +".mp4" like in java? |
09:48.19 | cityLights1 | no Leeds there are 1-3 files |
09:48.46 | Leeds | if the filename is in variable $FOO, you can just do ${FOO}.mp4 |
09:49.11 | cityLights1 | later I would also like to run the script from /home/user/funf and have it step in to each subfolder and run mencoder there |
09:49.32 | cityLights1 | Leeds: right I forgot |
09:50.20 | cityLights1 | is this legal? VIDEOOUT={`pwd|cut -d/ -f4,5|tr / .`}.mp4 |
09:50.57 | Leeds | no |
09:51.13 | Leeds | but maybe you want to use $(pwd...).mp4 |
09:52.58 | cityLights1 | VIDEOOUT=$(pwd|cut -d/ -f4,5|tr / .`).mp4 dont work :-( |
09:53.01 | sabinef72 | cityLights1: are you "mother" or "father" ? |
09:53.10 | Leeds | how doesn't it work? |
09:54.15 | cityLights1 | sabinef72: I need to register to msg yu, |
09:56.35 | cityLights1 | Leeds: my bad - it works |
09:57.08 | cityLights1 | now, how to run it from root and have it generate an output in each dir? |
09:57.20 | Leeds | ah, well, that's where things get complicated |
09:57.45 | cityLights1 | mabe do a for loop and use cd |
09:57.53 | Leeds | yes, of course |
09:57.54 | sabinef72 | cityLights1: sorry I don't understand |
09:58.05 | cityLights1 | yet its only 5 dir so I may do it manually |
09:58.23 | sabinef72 | cityLights1: you talked about your baby |
10:00.37 | Leeds | sabinef72: er... I think that's a lady-friend 'baby' not a young child one |
10:01.31 | sabinef72 | ohhhhhhh sorry ! |
10:01.59 | sabinef72 | yes ... baby ! |
10:02.08 | sabinef72 | :D |
10:02.40 | cityLights1 | right I ment my SO |
10:02.57 | cityLights1 | ya ya it is a USA lingo |
10:03.13 | cityLights1 | do you have this word in french? |
10:03.21 | sabinef72 | cityLights1: sorry I'm french, and I know my english is not so good |
10:03.33 | sabinef72 | yes we used it sometimes |
10:03.41 | Leeds | mon cherie |
10:03.46 | Leeds | or some such :-) |
10:03.46 | cityLights1 | :-) |
10:03.51 | sabinef72 | mon chéri, ma chérie |
10:04.04 | sabinef72 | but sometimes we also say : bébé or baby |
10:04.19 | sabinef72 | but it's more for teenagers ! |
10:04.26 | Leeds | ah-ha |
10:05.14 | cityLights1 | ok, I am back to reading calculus |
10:05.30 | cityLights1 | I should really get from page 49 to 200 soon |
