| 10:55.49 | Armand | happy new beer |
| 11:02.06 | yaMatt | happy new beer to you too ;) |
| 11:15.59 | ChoHag | The satellite resolution of the satellite Google uses (GeoEye-1[1] ) has a maximum resolution of 41cm, as mentioned in the article. Due to US government regulation, Google may only use up to 50cm resolution. |
| 11:16.04 | ChoHag | That 9cm makes all the difference. |
| 11:20.07 | yaMatt | interesting that it's regulated at all |
| 11:20.20 | yaMatt | I wonder what countries aren't regulated |
| 11:41.03 | morsing | wethrin: Happy New Year |
| 11:41.51 | wethrin | happy new year, morsing! |
| 11:42.00 | wethrin | How was your Christmas period? |
| 11:52.53 | z00dax | how odes that reoslution thing work - cause my car sure looks like a real car in the google sat images. |
| 11:53.15 | z00dax | and not so much of 10 dot's as one might imagine a 50cm pixel to represent |
| 12:04.33 | morsing | wethrin: It was awesome, and lots of driving but we got a marble coffee table! |
| 12:04.33 | Leeds | z00dax: I think they combine aerial imagery as well |
| 12:05.02 | wethrin | yay! |
| 12:05.05 | wethrin | Were you in Denmark? |
| 12:05.54 | z00dax | Leeds: is that not also regulated ? |
| 12:06.19 | Leeds | z00dax: different from satellite imagery, probably |
| 12:07.25 | ChoHag | British Gas will soon start to spam us with adverts attempting to get them to install a shockingly insecure network in your home with which to send lots of revealing personal information to a service/database which is protected about as well as you can imagine. |
| 12:07.42 | ChoHag | I recommend not getting it. |
| 12:07.47 | ChoHag | Connected Homes or some such thing. |
| 12:26.28 | morsing | wethrin: yeah |
| 12:27.18 | wethrin | :-) |
| 12:37.40 | Leeds | morsing: sushi? |
| 12:45.20 | morsing | Leeds: Yes, pleaswe |

| 13:08.10 | ChoHag | Ooh this one looks like fun. |
| 13:08.27 | ChoHag | Fire in a DC in Stockhold apparently revealed bugs in Hitachi storage. |
| 13:10.23 | morsing | dick_turpin: No |
| 13:10.30 | morsing | dick_turpin: Happy New Year |
| 13:11.15 | dick_turpin | morsing: Did you dress up as Mrs Santa then? |
| 13:11.26 | dick_turpin | morsing: Happy New Year to you too |
| 13:11.39 | morsing | dick_turpin: No |
| 13:12.27 | dick_turpin | morsing: Actually I'm not surprised, you don't exactly have the legs for it if we're brutally honest. |
| 14:05.21 | morsing | Beer |
| 15:17.04 | wethrin | BEER? |
| 15:17.11 | wethrin | There's beer in London tonight |
| 15:28.16 | ChoHag | London often has beer. |
| 15:30.01 | wethrin | Yes |
| 15:30.09 | wethrin | Gunmakers, Clerkenwell. 6pm onwards |
| 15:30.10 | wethrin | London.pm |
| 15:37.37 | dick_turpin | wethrin: It looks like I won't be buying you a beer http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/send-tdtrs-fosdem |
| 15:39.34 | wethrin | Rubbish! I showed you cheaper transport! |
| 15:47.06 | dick_turpin | wethrin: I know but it only pays out if it reaches £700 |
| 15:47.49 | dick_turpin | So your fecking transport could be £20 and it still wouldn't happen. |
| 15:57.30 | wethrin | Stop being a cheapskate :-P |
| 15:58.02 | Leeds | I showed him cheaper transport as well! |
| 15:58.15 | Armand | Get a bike! |
| 15:58.32 | Leeds | he'd have to start pedaling now! |
| 15:58.53 | dick_turpin | Leeds: You showed me something else as well but we won't go into that |
| 15:59.04 | Leeds | dick_turpin: not when there might be kids around |
| 15:59.05 | Armand | I almost miss riding the 5 miles to the old office, but with how the weather has been recently.. Sod that! |
| 15:59.30 | dick_turpin | Leeds: Na, I think morsing is having a nap? |
| 16:00.05 | Leeds | Armand: I'm trying not to dissuade my gf from cycling - while at the same time making it clear that cycling 7 miles in 2 hours on a bike with training wheels doesn't really count as 'exercise' |
| 16:00.23 | Armand | Hahaha |
| 16:00.33 | Armand | Training wheels?? O_O |
| 16:01.00 | Leeds | yup... hey, she's only getting on for 40, she might learn to ride a big girls' bike soon |
| 16:01.07 | Armand | LMAO |
| 16:01.31 | Leeds | it's a cultural thing - kids don't necessarily learn to ride a bike here... or, for another example, swim |
| 16:01.53 | Armand | Terribad.. |
| 16:02.11 | Leeds | which does seem a strange omission for a harbour/port city, which has a bunch of ferries as genuine public transport |
| 16:02.21 | Armand | Slightly. |
| 16:02.45 | Armand | Back in West Drayton, if you didn't have a bike by 4 years old.. You had to run everywhere. :P |
| 16:02.52 | AndyMillar | ZOOM ZOOM |
| 16:03.11 | AndyMillar | also, Armand hopefully means a proper bike, not one you have to pedal ;) |
| 16:03.17 | AndyMillar | (as they're so not safe) |
| 16:03.24 | Armand | Peddles, doofus.. lol |
| 16:03.36 | Armand | Pedals.. >_< |
| 16:03.40 | Armand | brainfart |
| 16:03.52 | Leeds | we go to an area out of the city where there are dedicated cycle paths |
| 16:04.44 | Leeds | and again, 3.5mph with training wheels is pretty safe :) |
| 16:05.03 | morsing | Leeds: Doesn't sound safe to me |
| 16:34.47 | yaMatt | I sae someone in Richmond park the other day with a Boris Bike |
| 16:35.16 | dick_turpin | Leeds: You need to get her one of these: http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/colorado-front-range/831660d1379098111-what-front-range-trail-will-ridable-tomorrow-water-bike_1455866i.jpg |
| 16:35.21 | yaMatt | 1. how did they get it all the way out there, 2. how much did that cost, and 3. richmond park is fucking hilly! |
| 16:35.50 | Leeds | heh |
| 16:36.39 | yaMatt | closest boris bike station to richmond park is Putney |
| 16:37.31 | yaMatt | and even then this girl was on the other side of the park to Putney |
| 16:39.09 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: Why didn't you call her name out? |

| 20:31.03 | ChoHag | HAhaha. Cockpit camera during the landing of an A380. |
| 20:31.24 | ChoHag | ATC says "park on runway 28L, but the ILS (landing signal) will direct you to 28R" (or something like that) |
| 20:32.10 | ChoHag | Then I saw one of the pilots give *exactly* the "same shit new day" look sysadmins have honed so well. |
| 20:32.24 | ChoHag | It makes me feel better about the world. |

| 20:33.23 | ChoHag | About 30 seconds in. |
| 22:25.06 | ChoHag | In 2005 the Canadian courts ordered members of Canadian public who'd bought a Harry Potter book (which was accidentally put on sale early) not to read it. |
