08:53.57MohanMorning
09:36.26ChoHagI smell of honey.
09:36.36ChoHagThere was no normal soap in the shower.
09:40.48DiscordianUKheh
09:41.00DiscordianUKNowt wrong with honey surely
10:19.39ChoHagExcept that I now probably attract bees.
10:38.58DiscordianUKThat might be a downside

12:28.54mtdcan 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.
12:29.24mtdsurprisingly, I suspect the wife won't look as favourably on it as I would.

12:30.53wethrintry asking the mailing list; you'll probably get a better response than on IRC
12:31.25dick_turpinAfternoon all
12:31.33wethrin'ello dick_turpin, you robber-baron, you
12:31.47wethrinmtd: Surely everyone should have a rack?
12:32.04wethrinit means you can save floor area on your computers by mounting them vertically
12:32.48dick_turpingoes through wethrin's pockets
12:35.17AndyMillarmtd: where about in central?
12:35.41mtdwethrin: yeah, and I thought it'd be a good shoe rack, but I think it'd be too small for the taks.
12:36.07AndyMillar(and how deep is it?)
12:36.14mtdAndyMillar: EC2N 1FP
12:36.29mtdAndyMillar: standard 19" internally
12:36.45mtdAndyMillar: I can take pictures in a bit
12:36.51AndyMillarthat'd be width, not depth ;)
12:36.59mtdAndyMillar: oh yeah, duh.
12:37.20mtdAndyMillar: it's really deep, not the shallow telephone/patch-panel depth.
12:38.16AndyMillarhmm, only problem I can think of is how the hell do I get it where I want it :p
12:38.50mtdAndyMillar: :)
12:39.01mtdAndyMillar: I don't think it'll easily fit in a taxi.
12:39.09AndyMillarquite, it'll need a van :(
12:39.50mtdAndyMillar: http://www.streetvan.co.uk/pricing.aspx 8.95/hr, 79/24h
12:39.53mtdAndyMillar: perhaps.
12:40.26AndyMillarGoing From   EC2   To   W14  
12:40.27AndyMillarThe total fixed price for your delivery is:  Â£40
12:41.33AndyMillarassuming I can find space for it, I could certainly use it :-)
12:41.59mtdAndyMillar: heh
12:42.17wethrin£40 isn't unreasonable for delivery of a rack
12:42.20AndyMillar(it's more... will my flatmate let me :-p)
12:42.22AndyMillarwethrin: quit
12:42.34AndyMillarquite*
12:42.52wethrinIf you get the rack in before your flatmate gets back, he'll have no choice
12:43.18AndyMillarheh
12:43.35AndyMillarmtd: how quickly are you looking to get rid of it?
12:44.24dick_turpinwethrin: 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
12:45.08mtdAndyMillar: I think it can sit around for a bit (days, perhaps weeks).
12:45.27mtdAndyMillar: there is a non-zero probability that my wife will let me take it, though :).  But I wouldn't worry about that.
12:45.56mtdAndyMillar: 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.
12:46.24wethrindick_turpin: You've done it wrong
12:46.33AndyMillarmtd: 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 :-)
12:48.01dick_turpinwethrin: 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
12:52.36dick_turpinI suppose I still won making £5 but I'm greedy
12:52.51wethrinthat's why you're in sales
12:53.33dick_turpinwethrin: I thought it was because I was evil?
12:53.49wethrinAs I said. You're in sales.
12:53.55wethrinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proprietary_software_for_Linux # some people have too much time on their hands
12:59.12mtdAndyMillar: cool!
12:59.41dick_turpinwethrin: 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
13:00.01wethrinmmm, true

14:17.29ChoHagClothing is most sought after – items most needed include:
14:17.29ChoHagFila or Burberry baseball caps
14:17.30ChoHagKappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
14:17.41ChoHagAny other items usually sold in Primark.
14:18.06dick_turpinThats the one!
14:19.01dick_turpinI loved the bottom line re Romford
14:21.16wethrinthat's an old joke
14:21.35ChoHagThe old ones are best.
14:22.16ChoHagThe ones that survive the test of time.
