04:27.03boudiccasthere is probably a simple answer to this although its hard to explain! I've added konqueror to the file opening when you right-click a file, but even when i open a file from konqueror it opens a new window of one. How do i get it to stay focused on open instance and not keep spawning other windows please? This is with KDE 4.4.5 under debian 6

07:52.36mikejwmorsing: how are you doing old bean?
07:56.24boudiccasmorsing; you're wrong, i post it roughly each hour when i'm at the keybaord
07:56.40boudiccasbut i'm goiong out soon so no need to worry
07:59.11mikejwboudiccas: sorry I can't be of help. seems like a strange issue. I don't use KDE all that much myself.
07:59.15morsingmikejw: I'm good thanks but need a new job :)  How are you?
07:59.36morsingboudiccas: Mailing list - that's what it's there for
07:59.47mikejwI'm good thanks.
08:00.05mikejwwhat kind of thing are you looking for?
08:01.36flips_and_railsboudiccas: you can probably do it using qdbus
08:02.13mikejwmorsing: do you normally do contracts?
08:07.36mikejwjust curious
08:49.11morsingmikejw: Yes
08:49.21morsingmikejw: AIX
09:24.16mikejwsounds interesting!
09:34.27morsing?
09:36.57mikejwI was being serious
09:37.00mikejw:)
09:40.37morsing:)
09:49.02halivery small market these days and but fortunately skilled AIX admins are hard to come by
09:59.41morsingIt's the same size it's always been, if not slightly bigger. The IBM pSeries are selling better than ever
10:05.03halii doubt it's better than ever but we've seen a surge in AIX usage as well
10:05.22halimostly because sun/oracle screwed up some of their partnerships and the fact that sparc hardware isn't performing very well
10:05.48haliand obviously due to the discontinuation of Oracle products on HP-UX/Itanium
10:06.05halifor some reason HP-UX/Itanium was huge in the french banking sector

10:35.22ChoHagI could do with getting some experience in one of the obscure unix dialects.
10:36.33ChoHagLinux got too popular at the same time it got shit.
10:36.40ChoHagI wonder which caused which...
10:42.43Leedshali: do people actually take Sun^WOracle seriously?
10:42.56haliLeeds: who are 'people'? :)
10:43.02halipeople who play golf with sales reps, sure!
10:43.19halithey sell a fair mount of this silly Exadata boxes
10:43.33haliand they start at like 750k GBP
10:43.56Leedstechies?
10:44.12haliwe have quite a lot of clients using sun t-series hardware for application servers, we always recommend against it
10:44.30halitechies generally like Solaris i think, but not the hardware currently on offer (especially not when looking at the price)
11:05.46boudiccasmorsing; there, its gone to the ML, so i dont need to keep asking it here then :)
11:06.26murbhali: oh the sun hardware was really quite nice.
11:06.32murbespecially the sunfire boxes.

11:07.48halimurb: keyword is 'was' :)
11:07.59halii loved sun v480/v490 etc
11:08.34murbhali: well it is still sold.
11:08.45morsingboudiccas: You're a star :)
11:08.46halican't say i see much advantage of a sun t5xxx hardware
11:09.48haliwe have some t kit, mostly t5140 and performance is pretty crap, the alom or whatever it's called these days is not great, hardware design is ok'ish
11:10.15halithe "RAS" aspect is not as good as it used to be when compared to the compitition
11:13.26morsingboudiccas: Are you sure?
11:13.52boudiccasmorsing; sure about what?
11:16.22morsingYou posting to the list...
11:16.54wethrinShe has
11:17.21morsingAh, must have gone wrong at Postini then

12:17.30mindbndrdick_turpin: it seems about home automation, I'd rather get married instead of figuring out how to do home automation
12:18.06mindbndrre-thinking that, maybe home automation is better than mariage
12:18.45mindbndrin decisive
13:04.44antiphasedick_turpin: What's that shit?
13:05.13dick_turpinantiphase: Ah cool just the sort of response I have come to love from you
13:05.25antiphaseYour mum
13:06.06dick_turpinantiphase: Its a load of Linux wannabees all mixing together pretending they understand boring technical talks then all going for a piss up at the end of the day
13:06.34dick_turpinantiphase: Should be right up your street you retard
13:13.51antiphaseI don't like talking to people though
13:14.48dick_turpinantiphase: What if I make sure they have a shower and wear geeky tee shirts like "I watched RMS pick his toes"
13:17.43antiphaseThey're the ones that are even more difficult to talk to
13:19.40dick_turpinantiphase: You can talk to me you anti social sloth
13:20.10antiphaseI'd have to bring my sunglasses and look like Roy Orbison to avoid being blinded by reflections from your shiny bonce
13:20.36dick_turpinantiphase: Ahahahaha
13:21.03dick_turpinantiphase: And ear plugs I'm afraid I'm one of those 'loud' talkers
14:46.44halihm, pretty much everything in fedora 15 seems *very* buggy
14:52.46dick_turpinhm that's because it's bleeding edge but pretends it isn't :-)
