07:42.06cityLightsnew job offer maintaining asterix systems
07:42.27cityLightsdoes using open-source justify getting low paied?
07:42.34cityLightspayed
07:43.15cityLightsI was meaning to ask if it makes sense requesting dhcp , if I dont wan tot use the defualt route, I get in replay
07:43.18jpdsasterisk*
07:43.23cityLightsright
07:48.39Leedsand no, the fact that you're using open source does not justify being low paid at all
07:49.17AndyMillarbut most low paying jobs will use open source :)
07:49.40cityLightsright, what I was thinking
07:50.31cityLightsI can only tell ya , that in most cases, ppl no longer realy put any effort in reading CV
07:50.44cityLightseven one page with minimal description
07:50.57cityLightsas if they really dont care
07:51.19AndyMillarif they don't, then you don't want the job :)
07:51.33cityLightsnot that easy these days
07:51.55cityLightsfor example. when asked "tell me about yourself"
07:52.11cityLightsthey really want to here the job description n the ad
07:52.14cityLightsnothing more
07:52.30cityLightsand , yes, I want to pay rent
07:53.48cityLightsso, assuming I got this network question. where may I ask?

09:19.05j0nrAnyone been to or going to TAMLondon?
09:20.41ChoHagIs that on again already?
09:21.40ChoHagDepends what it costs.
10:11.02j0nrWell October ChoHag
10:11.10j0nrbut tickets go on sale may 29
10:11.16j0nrand last year they sold out in an hour
10:16.28ChoHagWhy, when told that the person they seek sits at a desk which is empty, do people walk to the desk anyway?
10:16.51ChoHagDo they expect to see him hiding behind the cupboard?

13:43.33ChoHagWhy do open sores developers not realise that the less documentation they have, the fewer developers are going to be able to (or want to) get involved?
13:44.13cbzbecause they are mostly autistic
13:44.20cbzand if you want to get involved SEND PATCH
13:44.38cbzalso because writing code is funner than writing documentation
13:46.09ChoHagBut more people can send patches if they know what to patch, which they find out by reading the documentation.
13:52.42ChoHagAnd now it's as if this guy is actively against the idea of me extending the app.
13:53.37ChoHagFools.
13:54.15ChoHag"We don't want your help. We won't provide documentation and will argue the toss with you when you try asking how things work because you need to FUCK OFF AND LEAVE OUR APPLICATION ALONE."
13:54.26ChoHag"Please send a patch."
13:55.32*** join/#gllug Leeds (~richardc@n219077172137.netvigator.com)
13:56.11cbzare you arguing with theo?
13:56.48ChoHag'warlord'
13:56.50ChoHagWhoever that is.
13:57.45ChoHagGo Go Google Translate! 'avec une locale française (export LANG=fr_FR)' => 'with a French locale (export LANG = en_US)'.
13:58.53gmarkallChoHag: what application is it?
13:58.58ChoHaggnucash
14:00.15ChoHagHaving an API for the engine that's not just straight libgnucash.so (or whatever it is) would apparently not 'be useful to the community as a whole'.
14:00.23cbzahahaha
14:00.26cbzgnucash
14:00.35ChoHagBecause who would ever want to access software other than with the GUI?
14:02.05cbzthough in fairness perhaps he's just had to deal with a bunch of idiots who wanted to re-implement it in java with a SoA interface of some kind.
14:02.22ChoHagI think there are a lot of those.
14:02.51ChoHag"Waa! GnuCash is in C and Scheme and I only learned Visual Java ++ in my crappy CS course!"
14:03.45cbzwhat sort of api did you want?
14:04.05ChoHagAny.
14:04.23ChoHagI think it even exists. It's just not documented.
14:04.40cbzbecause the gnu projects generally have an aversion to api's that don't consist of some kind of 'linkable library' in whatever the local language analog is, due to the problem of remoting to get around the GNU share clause
14:05.27ChoHagThat's because GNU are fucktards.
14:05.35cbznot entirely
14:05.41ChoHagEntirely.
14:05.52ChoHagGood programmers. Useful idealists. Also fucktards.
14:05.56cbzI've seen at least one crappy corporate product that was a gnu tool wrapped inside a java wrapper
14:06.04cbzwhich they were then charging large amounts for
14:06.23ChoHagAnd the people who paid for it were clearly idiots.
14:06.43cbzThat doesn't negate the point.
14:06.58cbzAnd it's likely the idiots paying for it were different to the people who had to use it.
14:09.21ChoHagBetter to make like easier for normal users and have the pricks take what you made than try (and fail) to stop the pricks by making life harder for the normal users.
14:24.55jason_ukfsnIf you make life easy enough for everyone the pricks end up in a much harder marketplace as anyone and his dog can come along and punt the same (or better) product for a fraction of the price
14:25.09jason_ukfsnor for free
14:31.58ChoHagIndeed.
14:34.38cbzheh - as if.
14:54.33ChoHagHe said, “Because it only has one mouse button.”
14:54.38ChoHagI laughed hard for about 15 seconds and then said something along the lines of “go fuck yourself.”
14:55.02ChoHag^^^ Because actually he's right and there's no rational response to that that doesn't make an apple owner look like an idiot.
14:56.03ChoHagActually, there's very little that doesn't make an apple owner look like an idiot, regardless of the number of mouse buttons.
15:06.11jason_ukfsnYou're just full of happiness and joy today aren't you?
15:08.14ChoHagI am now. It's time to go home.

15:24.35bilarh_brilliant, eh? :D
15:26.08dick_turpinThat is just hysterical even though you know what's coming
15:27.19haliwhat do people use for ssl accelleration/termination these days?
15:27.47halinothing massive, about 20mbit traffic, currently going straight to a load of IIS windows boxes
15:28.08halinetscaler is my default answer but doesn't fit my budget at the moment
15:28.52cbzdon't know anything small
15:29.30cbzlinux box with a hifn card in it?
15:31.45antiphaseVarnish
15:31.55antiphaserandomly suggests something unsuitable
15:38.07halihifn/exar seems to be quite interesting, as far as ssl cards go
15:41.55dick_turpinI take it for a cleaner signal I'd need clear varnish?
15:45.11*** join/#gllug celesteh (~celesteh@sblug/member/celesteh)
15:49.27halicbz: what hifn cards do you use?
16:15.52cbzhali: we had some express 4100s in a previous job i was in, we knew of them as a couple of people had left our place to go and work there
16:16.37haliok
16:16.42halithat's the one im looking at
16:17.02haliseems better to have it on the NIC rather than as a standalone co-processor
16:17.58cbzyeah, those are aimed at OEMs i think.
