12:08.41yaMattyeay!
12:09.04yaMattdid think it was a little quiet on the western front

12:17.24dick_turpinThis is what happens when you leave it to self hosting
12:18.30yaMattdoesn't chrisp do LUG hosting or something?
12:20.29AndyMillarno, jason someone
12:20.46AndyMillarjason clifford
12:20.58AndyMillarI emailed him about it last week
12:21.04yaMattno response?
12:23.39AndyMillarnope, following up again
12:24.30AndyMillarunfortunately, as the list is down, the admin list is also down :-)
12:24.40dick_turpinIt could be hosted by UK Lug.org I could never fathom why it wasn't.
12:25.54AndyMillarah well, I'll continue to follow up every 7 days until someone bothers to respond :)
12:26.14AndyMillarapparently there's been some form of hardware failure, that's now been fixed (though this is 3rd hand info)
12:26.34dick_turpinAndyMillar: We are lucky to have you championing our cause. :-)
12:27.32dick_turpinBloody hell that Server needs taking round the back and a bullet putting in it! It's had that many hardware failures over the years.
12:28.47AndyMillarheh
12:30.06yaMattyeah, would be good to get it moved to Lug.org
12:31.11AndyMillarit'd be good to get it moved somewhere that worked, I'm not that fussy
12:31.19dick_turpinAhahahaha
12:31.46AndyMillarmmh, I've spent the last 2 days working on a diagram of an environment
12:31.52AndyMillarit feels incredibly unproductive :(
12:32.24yaMatthow so?
12:32.35dick_turpinHe's using crayons
12:36.57AndyMillarall I've got to show for it is a piece of paper :p
13:39.17*** join/#gllug kjs (kjs@fedora/kjs)
13:39.29kjsAlright guys!
13:42.03kjsI am looking for london office space... Is Hammersmith a respectable business area? Or should I am more for EC2 ?
13:46.38kjsmorsing: !
13:50.48AndyMillarhammersmith's fine
13:52.27AndyMillarwhat sort of business?
13:54.24yaMattif you're starting small you might want to look at techhub
13:55.51morsingkjs!
13:56.03morsingkjs: Erm... Why London?
13:59.38AndyMillarbecause London is the place to be
14:00.57dick_turpinAndyMillar: Rubbish! Rochdale is the place to be, you can get free taxis an Indian takeaways there!
14:01.29AndyMillaryou can?
14:02.04dick_turpinYeah, and free larger
14:02.18kjsvery small... I just want a virtual address for now, I don't really need to be there I can work fine from home but I don't want companies thinking I am some n00b.
14:03.13kjslooks at techhub.com
14:04.40yaMattthat's the dude
14:05.05yaMattonly thing is it's the other side of London from Hammersmith
14:06.04kjsbasically looks like a desk drop in.
14:06.39yaMattpretty much, it's ad-hoc office space
14:07.12yaMattyou only pay for what you use
14:07.38kjsits 275+VAT per desk
14:07.45kjsper month
14:08.23yaMatthmm... I thought I'd seen some hot-desking like thing, but maybe it was somewhere else
14:08.54AndyMillarkjs: people see through those London addresses
14:11.13kjsAndyMillar: I agree... I am trying to find something a little more real
14:13.56kjsI am not going to try and play it so that small seo company is running out of a skyscraper in the EC2 area.
14:14.31AndyMillarheh
14:15.46kjshttp://www.techhub.com/ I love the way in their networking shot on the right they have two blondes...
14:16.11kjs"Come and work at our tech place it's full of blonde ass, honestly"
14:16.18yaMatthahah
14:20.40kjsAparntly Georgina or Claire will contact me shortly...
14:22.33kjshttp://www.atyumgo.co.uk/
14:22.47kjssome sort of attempt of recreating google using twitter?
14:23.51yaMattare they those blondes?
14:25.24kjsWhon knows, ill ask for pics... "That sounds great ladies, now please send me your pics"
14:25.31kjsSwiss Tony style
14:28.32yaMattsay it's a pre-req :D
14:30.29kjsHamilton House, EC4Y 0HA - not too bad, end of embankment
14:31.20yaMattvery nice
14:33.03kjsthis tech hub place looks like some kinda youth club "we've left uni but we want to work in a place just like it" looking at their twit pics they all have beers in their hands
14:33.57morsingSurely people think you're a n00b paying for an over-priced London office for no reason?
14:34.53AndyMillarkjs: tbh, that sort of entrepreneurial (sp?) hot bed is depressing
14:35.01yaMattit's all a part of the silicon roundabout stuff so it's small and 'trendy' companies
14:35.39AndyMillarit'll probably be full of pepole with no money trying to get you involved with their idea that is going to change the world
14:35.54kjslol AndyMillar exactly what I was thinking.
14:36.20kjsa bunch of people with no money.
14:36.52kjsor people rinsing start up capital on office space they don't need :)
14:36.52AndyMillarkjs: no-one cares where your company is based, as long as you come visit them and look professional when you do
14:37.53kjsAndyMillar: I agree, but I would rather not use my home address on the website.
14:38.09AndyMillarwhere is your company registered to?
14:38.39kjsMy accountants address but I am not using that, it's some small market town in wiltshire.
14:39.34kjsThe location of the company is having an impact now on search rankings, if you go to google and type SEO it will find companies near you.
14:40.00AndyMillarhttp://www.capital-office.co.uk/virtual_office_london_mail_address_po_box_forwarding.html
14:41.40kjsI looked at them, cheap as, but there are 100s of businesses registered there.
14:42.14kjseverywhere else seems to be about 50 - 120 a month
14:48.28kjsit's also called Kemp House, that just reminds me of Ross Kemp
14:49.56kjs"And here we are in City Road, Home to one of London's SEO Companies... Thats... Not... Really... There..." O.O

16:56.16wethrinyo
16:56.25z00daxstill have access to gllug.org.uk ?
16:56.29wethrinI think so
16:56.29z00dax( ie. login works ? )
16:57.00z00daxlooks like an update to the software there took mine out ( complains about md5 passwords )
16:57.31z00daxMatthew Copperwaite is trying to organise a meetup, mind if I send him over your way to get announcement posted ?
16:58.29wethrinAh. I don't remember my password for it
16:58.36wethrinAnd the computer's not remembering it either
16:59.37wethrinOh. "You can no longer login with an old-style MD5 hash.....Please ask the Administrator to set you a new password"
16:59.47z00daxsame same
17:00.05z00daxyaMatt might be the Matt
17:00.28z00daxJason would / should have passwords I guess, and/or agk
17:02.12wethrinYeah
17:02.20wethrinOr at least appropriate administrative access

18:49.18agkserendipity? my login worked fine still
18:53.45agk(I can attempt to reset passwords probably  - the UI is confusingfor that, but presumably it will work)
18:55.02agk(it says "Your" all the time when it's not my details it's showing  - change 'Your password' I hope would change the person's password displayed not mine)
