| 09:43.49 | ChoHag | I have more free and/or wasted RAM in a case haphazardly strewn over the desk than existed when I was born. |
| 09:43.57 | ChoHag | Most of what is in use, is in use by Chrome. |
| 09:50.37 | yaMatt | heheh |
| 09:50.41 | yaMatt | it is a bit of a memory beast |
| 09:50.47 | yaMatt | or has become a memory beast |
| 09:50.56 | yaMatt | people used to complain about Fx being a memory beast |

| 11:03.22 | z00dax | morsing: you mean the adsl provider or the bbs fidonet thing |
| 11:14.18 | ChoHag | The system rescue CD's default shell is zsh. |
| 11:14.24 | ChoHag | Just what you need when you're trying to fix an emergency - the tool with which you interact to be subtly different in non-obvious ways to the tool with which you are experienced. |
| 11:19.50 | yaMatt | heheh |
| 11:24.25 | mindbender | i've never understood the difference between those shells |
| 11:24.32 | mindbender | I only use ls, rm, fsck |
| 11:24.42 | mindbender | that's what sysadmin is about. |
| 11:24.57 | mindbender | if you need a better shell, surely, you must be doing something wrong. |
| 11:39.37 | ChoHag | There is very little practical difference. |
| 11:40.40 | ChoHag | But when it's dark o'clock and you have 3 hours to get the entire storage system back up before everybody starts working and you're running on 18 hours of looking after a toddler, very little looms very large. |
| 11:41.30 | ChoHag | Oh and you ended up not sleeping much the night before because you started hacking on something and forgot about the time and what does it matter because it's the weekend and nobody breaks things on the weekend. |
| 11:42.22 | ChoHag | The first difference likely to bite you here are the interactive ones - zsh completes differently and the word-movement keystrokes react differently. |
| 11:42.54 | ChoHag | Especially helpful when you're queueing keystrokes over n agonisingly slow and unreliable layers of console connection. |

| 11:54.26 | morsing | z00dax: ? |
| 12:11.00 | ChoHag | God damn this house. |
| 12:11.48 | ChoHag | I am 6'2". The ceiling ranges from about 5'8" to 6'4" above the floor. Doorways are shorter. |
| 12:12.54 | ChoHag | I think the piece of wood which holds up the ceiling at the bottom of the stairs is quite possible the hardest piece of wood I have ever seen. |
| 12:12.57 | ChoHag | Or felt. |
| 12:17.52 | z00dax | morsing: sorry, i meant - is that about the ISP called fido.net or the old bbs network fidonet |
| 12:18.07 | z00dax | morsing: i was actually surprised to find an ISP in london called fido.net |
| 12:27.11 | morsing | ... Sounds like a doomed ISP |

| 13:01.10 | mindbender | ChoHag: well, that's why you don't sit on a computer unless you're gonna play computer games on a weekend. Who hacks stuff in the weekend anymore? People get paid for these stuff nowadays during the week. |
| 13:01.44 | mindbender | ChoHag: I could understand If It was 10 years ago and you were quite enthusiastic about learning the WWW and trying to find a way to have free access to pr0n. |
| 13:01.56 | ChoHag | It's called 'having fun'. |
| 13:02.11 | ChoHag | I like programming, have ideas for various projects, and sometimes get time to work on them. |
| 13:02.12 | mindbender | Personally, I spent the time you spent on hacking on a house party |
| 13:02.21 | mindbender | It sucked tho |
| 13:02.25 | mindbender | I'm sure you had more fun than I had |
| 13:02.41 | ChoHag | Except that time I was forced to socialise at another party, yeah. |
| 13:02.52 | mindbender | huh? |
| 13:03.01 | mindbender | who socialises nowadays? we've got FB. |
| 13:03.15 | ChoHag | You do? I don't. |
| 13:03.16 | mindbender | It's hard to be asocial afterall |
| 13:03.37 | mindbender | ChoHag: that's the place I can keep a tab of the girls. You're married, you don't need FB. |
| 13:07.43 | mindbender | ChoHag: are you going to spending the bank hol. weekend with hacking? |
| 13:07.46 | mindbender | *be spending |
| 13:07.57 | ChoHag | shrugs |
| 13:09.37 | ChoHag | If I have time to kill I might. |
| 13:18.45 | morsing | Kill who? |
| 13:19.05 | mindbender | the process. |
| 13:19.21 | mindbender | morsing: what are you up to in the bank holiday weekend? |
| 13:19.28 | mindbender | morsing: surely, It must be something very very interesting. |
| 13:19.34 | mindbender | morsing: please, share with us. |
| 13:21.54 | mindbender | I had 2 of my wisdom teeth taken out on Thursday, I strongly not recommend anyone to go through that |
| 13:22.07 | mindbender | just stick to antibiotics and painkillers, It's not worth it. |
| 13:22.24 | mindbender | I should have figured that out when NHS decided not to do it. |
| 13:30.24 | morsing | mindbender: Working |
| 13:30.33 | morsing | Why interesting? |
| 13:30.39 | ChoHag | If they decided not to, why did you get it done anyway? |
| 13:35.29 | mindbender | ChoHag: they said, if you get an infection again, we'll consider doing it |
| 13:36.15 | mindbender | they were like, If it repeats every now and than yeah, we'll do it, in the meantime here's some antibiotics, so I had an infection again but didn't wanna go through the whole NHS process, so I just paid up for it to the dentist |
| 13:36.45 | mindbender | besides NHS wanted to put me in sleep whereas the dentist suggested that he'd do it with local anesthesia |
| 13:36.59 | mindbender | I figured NHS don't wanna spend money on these stuff. |
| 13:37.35 | mindbender | It's been aching for a month, It was quite depressive, It's still depressive tho. |
| 13:37.54 | mindbender | Hi My name is mindbender, yes, I am depressed and I have my wisdom teeth taken out. |
| 13:38.11 | mindbender | morsing: because you are an interesting man. |
| 14:00.18 | morsing | I am? |
| 14:07.13 | dick_turpin | mindbender: Are you on drugs? |

| 14:14.58 | mindbender | dick_turpin: nurofen + penicilin + coca-cola |
| 14:18.00 | dick_turpin | No wonder morsing appears interesting to you. |
| 14:35.28 | mindbender | dick_turpin: why? |
| 14:49.00 | dick_turpin | mindbender: Clearly you are drugged up to your eyeballs. Toe nail crud is more interesting than morsing |
| 14:51.31 | mindbender | dick_turpin: but he's a bit strange, don't we all agree on that? |
| 15:01.19 | dick_turpin | A bit? |
