02:36.51 | Armand | Anyone about.. ? |
02:41.07 | DiscordianUK | vaguely |
02:42.03 | DiscordianUK | what's the problem |
02:42.54 | Armand | What's your perspective on the reference "GNU/Linux" as opposed to just "Linux" ? |
02:43.18 | DiscordianUK | Personally I hate GNU/Linux |
02:43.29 | Armand | Why ? |
02:44.25 | DiscordianUK | let me ask a question : do you see GNU/hurd anywhere |
02:44.41 | Armand | I see the word "hurd" on one of my CDs... |
02:44.50 | Armand | So, no. |
02:44.56 | DiscordianUK | Linux was a lot more BSD when it began |
02:45.26 | Armand | Ok, after googling for "hurd" I see reference to GNU Hurd. |
02:45.34 | DiscordianUK | it has embraced the GNU culture |
02:45.55 | DiscordianUK | I'd support Linux/GNU |
02:46.10 | Armand | See, I think it's the whole "GNU" bit that I don't understand. |
02:46.30 | DiscordianUK | as long as we call OSX , OSX/Gnu |
02:47.29 | Armand | Is it a matter of some kind of software "politics" ?? Does "GNU" put across some kind of statement about your beliefs.. because it appears some people are REAL arsey about it. |
02:47.44 | DiscordianUK | Some are yes |
02:48.24 | Armand | Put it this way... I think today is the first time in YEARS that I've really wanted to knifebrick someone on the internet. >_< |
02:48.39 | DiscordianUK | The debian people care a lot about GNU |
02:48.48 | Armand | Clearly.. |
02:49.47 | DiscordianUK | I'm pragmatic I care about stuff I can use |
02:49.49 | Armand | Just that.. I got some muppets in ##linux hounding me because I stated that "GNU/Linux IS just a kernel.. a GNU/Linux OS is a grouping of software based around the kernel" |
02:50.32 | DiscordianUK | I wandered into ##linux a few mins today |
02:51.02 | DiscordianUK | I'm so glad I just volunteer on #fedora and #centos |
02:51.07 | Armand | :) |
02:51.32 | Armand | I think I might drop ##linux.. the overall IQ is higher in #fedora. ¬_¬ |
02:51.44 | DiscordianUK | We try |
02:52.01 | Armand | Too many trolls and dickheads in ##linux, seriously. |
02:52.22 | DiscordianUK | I also went into #bash |
02:52.32 | DiscordianUK | That was funny |
02:52.37 | Armand | Never been there.. |
02:52.45 | Armand | Do enlighten me. :P |
02:53.22 | DiscordianUK | I dunno what it is but full of debianites |
02:53.35 | Armand | lol |
02:54.44 | Armand | But yes.. end result of said hounding.. I put 2 people on ignore. |
02:55.00 | DiscordianUK | well ignore is good |
02:55.18 | Armand | Which is odd for me, as I've been quite tolerant of the general stupidity on IRC the last year or so. |
02:56.00 | DiscordianUK | well I have no one on ignore across 12 channels and 4 irc networks |
02:56.43 | Armand | Oh christ.. I can't be arsed to count mine. |
02:56.53 | Armand | "A lot" should cover it. :P |
02:57.38 | DiscordianUK | it's as many as I can get on one line in xchat |
02:58.13 | Armand | I don't think mine is saved to a .txt file or anything. :P |
02:58.18 | Armand | I could look.. |

09:50.15 | wethrin | hi jason_ukfsn |
09:50.17 | wethrin | coming to Fosdem? |
09:50.48 | jason_ukfsn | Alas no. I have too much work on and family commitments tying me down to be able to. :( |
09:51.13 | wethrin | boo :( |
09:53.59 | jason_ukfsn | I know but that's life. Maybe next year things will be better - my kids will be older and more independent and, hopefully, the new systems at UKFSN will result in less need for me to $do_something |
09:54.28 | wethrin | laziness++ |
09:54.36 | Leeds | it hasn't fallen over under the weight of millions of users yet then? |
09:54.46 | jason_ukfsn | (getting someone else to write the laziness)++ |
09:55.50 | jason_ukfsn | Leeds, I wish! It's not so much about falling over (which hasn't been an issue in the past almost 7 years) but rather about better integration and more automation. |
09:56.08 | jason_ukfsn | The more direct control I can give customers the better. |
09:56.51 | jason_ukfsn | So how's HK then Leeds? |
09:57.04 | Leeds | warm :) |
09:57.22 | Leeds | we're off to http://www.rtoddking.com/chinawin2009_hb_if.htm on Saturday |
09:58.23 | jason_ukfsn | That looks amazing! |
09:58.33 | Leeds | doesn't it just? |
09:58.37 | Leeds | fucking cold though |
09:59.05 | jason_ukfsn | cold == good ice skating conditions |
09:59.25 | Leeds | I can just about stay up on skates, the gf is scared of hurting herself |
09:59.41 | Leeds | will try to get her on the sort of skate-bikes they have |

10:01.33 | jason_ukfsn | My kids have reached the level of taking part in local ice skating competitions. My son has the talent to go a lot further if he'd just remember the sequences but that's probably not going to happen. Still he enjoys it a lot. |
10:03.52 | Leeds | my former flatmate took lessons here for a while - I went skating with her a couple of times... |
10:04.04 | Leeds | all the rinks here are in malls, which is slightly odd from our point of view |
10:04.49 | jason_ukfsn | They've started doing that here now. Hatfield Galleria now has a rink during winter months. It's crap and expensive but apparently quite popular. |
10:06.05 | Leeds | nah, these are serious rinks - a couple of them host a hockey league, they have on-site schools, etc. |
