09:36.26 | ChoHag | I smell of honey. |
09:36.36 | ChoHag | There was no normal soap in the shower. |
09:40.48 | DiscordianUK | heh |
09:41.00 | DiscordianUK | Nowt wrong with honey surely |
10:19.39 | ChoHag | Except that I now probably attract bees. |
10:38.58 | DiscordianUK | That might be a downside |

12:28.54 | mtd | can anyone use a 42U Compaq 19" rack in good nick? Central london, no cost. I just picked it up as the company downstairs was scrapping a few. |
12:29.24 | mtd | surprisingly, I suspect the wife won't look as favourably on it as I would. |

12:30.53 | wethrin | try asking the mailing list; you'll probably get a better response than on IRC |
12:31.25 | dick_turpin | Afternoon all |
12:31.33 | wethrin | 'ello dick_turpin, you robber-baron, you |
12:31.47 | wethrin | mtd: Surely everyone should have a rack? |
12:32.04 | wethrin | it means you can save floor area on your computers by mounting them vertically |
12:32.48 | dick_turpin | goes through wethrin's pockets |
12:35.17 | AndyMillar | mtd: where about in central? |
12:35.41 | mtd | wethrin: yeah, and I thought it'd be a good shoe rack, but I think it'd be too small for the taks. |
12:36.07 | AndyMillar | (and how deep is it?) |
12:36.14 | mtd | AndyMillar: EC2N 1FP |
12:36.29 | mtd | AndyMillar: standard 19" internally |
12:36.45 | mtd | AndyMillar: I can take pictures in a bit |
12:36.51 | AndyMillar | that'd be width, not depth ;) |
12:36.59 | mtd | AndyMillar: oh yeah, duh. |
12:37.20 | mtd | AndyMillar: it's really deep, not the shallow telephone/patch-panel depth. |
12:38.16 | AndyMillar | hmm, only problem I can think of is how the hell do I get it where I want it :p |
12:38.50 | mtd | AndyMillar: :) |
12:39.01 | mtd | AndyMillar: I don't think it'll easily fit in a taxi. |
12:39.09 | AndyMillar | quite, it'll need a van :( |
12:39.50 | mtd | AndyMillar: http://www.streetvan.co.uk/pricing.aspx 8.95/hr, 79/24h |
12:39.53 | mtd | AndyMillar: perhaps. |
12:40.26 | AndyMillar | Going From EC2 To W14 |
12:40.27 | AndyMillar | The total fixed price for your delivery is: £40 |
12:41.33 | AndyMillar | assuming I can find space for it, I could certainly use it :-) |
12:41.59 | mtd | AndyMillar: heh |
12:42.17 | wethrin | £40 isn't unreasonable for delivery of a rack |
12:42.20 | AndyMillar | (it's more... will my flatmate let me :-p) |
12:42.22 | AndyMillar | wethrin: quit |
12:42.34 | AndyMillar | quite* |
12:42.52 | wethrin | If you get the rack in before your flatmate gets back, he'll have no choice |
12:43.18 | AndyMillar | heh |
12:43.35 | AndyMillar | mtd: how quickly are you looking to get rid of it? |
12:44.24 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Don't talk to me about delivery costs! I stood to make £15 profit on delivery yesterday then the toe rag said "Can I have a pre 10.00am? If its another £5 that's OK" so it costs me £14.99 and I ended up making £5 instead of £15 |
12:45.08 | mtd | AndyMillar: I think it can sit around for a bit (days, perhaps weeks). |
12:45.27 | mtd | AndyMillar: there is a non-zero probability that my wife will let me take it, though :). But I wouldn't worry about that. |
12:45.56 | mtd | AndyMillar: I've stashed it in a disused office until I can figure out if I can convince my wife, but i raelly don't see it happening as I think about it. |
12:46.24 | wethrin | dick_turpin: You've done it wrong |
12:46.33 | AndyMillar | mtd: assuming your wife doesn't let you keep it (::sadface::) and my flatmate won't kill me for getting it, I should be able to take it off your hands :-) |
12:48.01 | dick_turpin | wethrin: It was a gamble, I was charging Del when I was not being charged Del if he had accepted 'next day' then I'd have won |
12:52.36 | dick_turpin | I suppose I still won making £5 but I'm greedy |
12:52.51 | wethrin | that's why you're in sales |
12:53.33 | dick_turpin | wethrin: I thought it was because I was evil? |
12:53.49 | wethrin | As I said. You're in sales. |

12:59.12 | mtd | AndyMillar: cool! |
12:59.41 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Somebody knows how Lusers brains work and has started it off and awaits others to fill in the gaps with the zeal only zealots can muster |
