07:25.12 | ChoHag | I've got that fuck it feeling. |
08:22.07 | gregj | :-) |
08:22.08 | gregj | me too |
08:22.11 | gregj | it's friday |
08:22.16 | gregj | (doh) |
08:23.09 | wethrin | Friday++ |
08:23.15 | morsing | Beer |
08:23.30 | wethrin | Yes, good idea |
08:24.17 | gregj | another day I have to sit in the office, instead of being on the airfield |
08:25.07 | wethrin | You're doing it wrong |
08:25.17 | gregj | am I |
08:25.36 | gregj | I need a contract that allows me to do things in my own space, instead of forcing me to sit in an office |
08:25.53 | gregj | I'm working on projects that don't require any interaction with anyone for long periods of time anyway |
08:33.25 | *** join/#gllug chrisp (~wibble@host86-178-201-145.range86-178.btcentralplus.com) |
08:35.23 | wethrin | Yes. You're doing it wrong by being in the office instead of flying |
08:35.30 | wethrin | You need to find a job you can do from the air :) |
08:38.42 | gregj | it takes a bit of training, I need to earn to get that training done :-) |
08:38.55 | gregj | and then you need experience, which means earning more to get 200+ hours |
08:39.04 | gregj | (200*£95).. |
08:40.13 | wethrin | Ouch |
08:59.10 | morsing | http://www.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/floppytable01.jpg |

10:56.38 | gregj | wouldn't want to sit on the side with the flap |
11:19.22 | z00dax | so, on a provisional license - insurance at £480/yr, going to full UK -> £2130/yr |
11:19.29 | z00dax | what is wrong with the world :) |
11:33.21 | gregj | you can't drive on your own on the provisional licence |
11:33.30 | gregj | so the insurance must have been for the other driver |
11:33.41 | gregj | but I agree, 'clean' UK licence - insurance way too high |
11:33.52 | AndyMillar | z00dax: my insurance is about 380/year for the two bikes |
11:33.56 | gregj | on the other hand, way too many racer boys driving like arseholes |
11:34.15 | gregj | my insurance is about 700 |
11:34.16 | AndyMillar | (I think I'm insured to do up to 45k miles as well) |
11:34.20 | gregj | (but that's cos I live in NI) |
11:34.42 | gregj | same care, somewhere in england country side - £300 |
11:34.51 | gregj | s/england/english/ |
11:35.05 | z00dax | i pay about 450 for my car at the moment- this is for the wife |
11:35.11 | gregj | s/care/car/ |
11:35.13 | gregj | ;> |
11:35.21 | gregj | infobot: you forgot my earlier errata ! |
11:35.22 | z00dax | i guess a landcruiser isnt the most economical thing to insure as first car for a lady |
11:35.28 | gregj | :D |
11:35.36 | gregj | its not fast, and its a tank |
11:35.44 | AndyMillar | z00dax: you buying her a tank? |
11:35.59 | z00dax | and she will have the baby with her in the car, which is why I want this to be what she is in on the road |
11:36.21 | gregj | don't buy people big cars as their first ones |
11:36.30 | gregj | get her something small |
11:36.34 | AndyMillar | z00dax: you're *only* allowed to do this if she can see *properly* out of the windscreen, and understands to check her blind spots |
11:36.48 | gregj | but anyway |
11:36.58 | z00dax | AndyMillar: how do you mean properly see ? |
11:37.00 | gregj | does anyone actually know a place where I can show up, pay some dough, and drive a tank for few hours ? |
11:37.16 | AndyMillar | z00dax: I see so many people barely able to "peer" over the front dashboard |
11:37.28 | gregj | yeah |
11:37.34 | gregj | I drive past two schools everyday |
11:37.43 | z00dax | so, another non issue with the LC, the seat comes up and adjusts to body weight |
11:37.53 | gregj | the biggest danger is caused by mommies driving big fucking landrovers |
11:37.56 | gregj | 'cos its safer' |
11:38.16 | AndyMillar | gregj: it's safer for them, not for the rest of us |
11:38.29 | z00dax | pretty much |
11:38.31 | gregj | parking like cunts, and driving in the middle of road - cos they can't judge the car size |
11:38.45 | gregj | and yes, most of them are barely visible over steering wheel |
11:39.05 | AndyMillar | gregj: I see the same thing with non-silly-big cars, but it's worse with the bigger ones |
11:39.06 | gregj | and of cousre looking back, when kid talks to them |
11:39.17 | AndyMillar | z00dax: I probably get almost killed by someone with a car too big for them every 1-2 weeks |
11:39.36 | gregj | I drive a boat (cos its fucking long) |
11:39.37 | z00dax | AndyMillar: that sounds more like people who dont know howto drive |
11:39.50 | gregj | it takes special skill to know how to drive bigger car then an vauxhall astra |
11:39.50 | AndyMillar | z00dax: it's predominantly women in large cars |
11:39.57 | gregj | it's men too |
11:40.03 | gregj | lets not be sexists |
11:40.04 | AndyMillar | (because husbands put them in large cars to protect them, because they can't drive :-)) |
11:40.21 | gregj | lets be honest, they are safer in smaller cars |
11:40.24 | z00dax | AndyMillar: sounds like a plan :) |
11:40.26 | AndyMillar | gregj: I do a round trip commute of 140-160 miles |
11:40.33 | z00dax | although, where we live this isnt a large car per se |
11:40.35 | AndyMillar | and it's predominantly women in large cars :) |
11:40.36 | gregj | mine's about 4 miles round trip |
11:40.40 | gregj | but I drive past two schools |
11:40.47 | z00dax | my mondeo parked outside tends to be the small blue thing |
11:40.48 | gregj | so thatputs me in a lot of danger from mommies |
11:41.03 | gregj | my car is always the longest (insignia) |
11:41.19 | z00dax | so here is the other thing with insurance, paid Annually. 833.16, paid monthly 1.573.23 per year |
11:41.51 | gregj | that's a scam |
11:42.08 | gregj | call obdumsman (or whatever was the spelling of that word) |
11:42.12 | z00dax | or, Admiral insurnace, Annually : 908, monthly annuall toal : 2152.61 |
11:42.18 | z00dax | what sort of an APR is that at |
11:42.22 | AndyMillar | gregj: no, I think that's pretty fair |
11:42.34 | AndyMillar | hopefully they profile insurees, and find that those who pay monthly are higher risk |
11:42.37 | z00dax | they are just counting on people not realising that the annuall one is that much cheaper ( or they only use one of the two on the comparison sites ) |
11:42.49 | gregj | I pay montly, cos there's no APR on mine |
11:43.02 | AndyMillar | I pay annually |
11:43.04 | gregj | it's just (rate-initial pay)/10 |
11:43.46 | z00dax | yeah, directline do something like that as well |
11:44.02 | z00dax | but they make it /9 and do 1 installment with +15 as admin to cover monthly |
11:44.34 | z00dax | so to a more #gllug specific question - do you guys add the servers sitting around at home into your home contents insurance ? |
11:44.49 | AndyMillar | I don't have servers sitting around at home ;) |
11:45.01 | z00dax | i tried doing that... they wanted £100 a month extra |
11:45.30 | z00dax | I tried to explain to the person that while the dl360 g4 _was_ worth £2500 at one point, i got it off ebay for £150 |
11:45.41 | z00dax | AndyMillar: in that case, you are not doing it right |
11:45.55 | z00dax | AndyMillar: also, how is ceph ? |
11:46.07 | AndyMillar | z00dax: we've not had any more time to play with it yet :( |
11:46.33 | z00dax | ok, let me know how it goes. We have a nice repo coming together with the libvirt + qemu + ceph stuff all integrated and tested as one |
11:46.37 | z00dax | should make life a bit easier |
11:46.53 | z00dax | and actually provide an update path that is in sync with all the components |
11:49.54 | gregj | I don't have to declare items above 2500, so I only had to declare my mbrp |
11:50.14 | gregj | rest is just a total sum declaration, and you have to have some proof of purchase |
11:50.19 | gregj | to get the monies back, or items |
11:53.02 | z00dax | wonder how people with tin roof's on the DC are coping with the heat these days |
11:56.04 | gregj | depend what state they are in |
11:56.10 | gregj | if they are nice and shiny, all good |
