| 09:11.16 | wethrin | morsing: Can you not find LDRs with a different range of values? You can use it with a transistor for amplification (or switching). Or you could use a photodiode, or phototransistor |
| 09:14.46 | morsing | wethrin: Looks like no, minimum is 200K. It has to be hooked up to a transistor |
| 10:03.05 | yaMatt | with any luck there will be a meet-up sorted by this evening |
| 10:05.18 | wethrin | yaMatt: On Thursday night? |
| 10:05.31 | morsing | wethrin: You going? |
| 10:05.52 | wethrin | I'm going to FOSDEM. I'm coming down on the train on Thursday night, so will be in Kings Cross around 2145 |
| 10:06.15 | wethrin | So if there's a gllug meeting in that sort of region of London, I may pop in |
| 10:07.22 | morsing | wethrin: FOSDEM is next month |
| 10:08.04 | wethrin | No, it's this month |
| 10:08.18 | wethrin | 30th/31st January |
| 10:12.52 | yaMatt | wethrin, I think that's the plan, the Thursday |
| 10:13.20 | yaMatt | but the venue is nearer Waterloo |
| 10:13.33 | yaMatt | didn't think about having it closer to Kings Cross. Oops |
| 10:13.38 | wethrin | Hm. How close to W'loo? |
| 10:13.45 | yaMatt | 5 minute walk |
| 10:13.47 | wethrin | Well, different venues are awkward for different people :) |
| 10:13.52 | yaMatt | yeah |
| 10:14.06 | wethrin | I'll have a think. It may be possible.... |
| 10:14.17 | yaMatt | getting to Waterloo is quite easy from KX |
| 10:14.20 | wethrin | 10pm for an hour or so is reasonable, right? |
| 10:14.32 | yaMatt | when's your eurostar? |
| 10:14.36 | wethrin | 150something |
| 10:14.38 | wethrin | 1503? |
| 10:14.46 | yaMatt | oh on the Friday? |
| 10:14.48 | wethrin | 1513? |
| 10:14.49 | wethrin | Yeah |
| 10:15.15 | yaMatt | yeah, I'll be around until about 11 |
| 10:15.24 | yaMatt | nice and easy for me to get home from Waterloo ;) |
| 10:17.35 | wethrin | Easy enough for me - Bakerloo line to Marylebone, and then train home |
| 10:18.10 | wethrin | I assume some people will be wearing geeky t-shirts? I think there's been a big change of Gllug people since I was involved |
| 10:18.44 | yaMatt | I certainly will be |
| 10:18.48 | yaMatt | it has changed quite a bit |
| 10:19.19 | wethrin | It must be about 10 years since I was last at a Gllug event |
| 10:19.23 | yaMatt | still some regulars around though |
| 10:19.29 | wethrin | Hurrah! |
| 10:19.41 | yaMatt | heheh, don't think I was using Linux 10 years ago |
| 10:19.51 | wethrin | Youngster! |
| 10:19.57 | wethrin | Bet you were still in short trousers, too! |
| 10:20.26 | yaMatt | heheh, not quite that young, unfortunately |
| 10:20.33 | wethrin | I started with Linux nearly 20 years ago now. I think it was some time in 1996 that I was given my first Linux CD |
| 10:22.58 | yaMatt | I did have some pretty early SuSE CDs but never really got in with it |
| 10:23.05 | yaMatt | I didn't really switch until Ubuntu 8.10 |
| 10:23.22 | yaMatt | when Vista was looking scary :D |
| 10:33.15 | wethrin | I never had an issue with Windows Vista |
| 10:34.15 | yaMatt | well when you were running not very legitimate versions of XP, switching to Vista was harder and I got bored of rebuilding XP every 6 months when it broke |
| 10:34.44 | wethrin | That's why I switched to OS X from Linux back in 2002 :) |
| 10:34.53 | wethrin | At least as a desktop system |
| 10:36.29 | yaMatt | I suppose at that time it meant buying a Mac of some kind? |
| 10:36.40 | yaMatt | I think it was still a RISC OS at the time? |
| 10:39.29 | wethrin | It was a PowerPC processor. G4 |
| 10:39.42 | wethrin | I had student loan left over, so I bought one |
| 10:40.16 | yaMatt | oo... same sort of time they started to support X86 OS |
| 10:40.37 | yaMatt | heh, nice, as a secondary school student I guess it didn't seem like an option |
| 10:41.01 | wethrin | See, youngster! I was finishing Uni then |
| 10:41.23 | yaMatt | or unemployed, or something, can't believe I was still in school then XD |
| 11:04.42 | morsing | wethrin: I'm eating proper cheese! |
| 11:10.05 | wethrin | Stilton? |
