09:11.16wethrinmorsing: 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
09:14.46morsingwethrin: Looks like no, minimum is 200K. It has to be hooked up to a transistor
10:03.05yaMattwith any luck there will be a meet-up sorted by this evening
10:05.18wethrinyaMatt: On Thursday night?
10:05.31morsingwethrin: You going?
10:05.52wethrinI'm going to FOSDEM. I'm coming down on the train on Thursday night, so will be in Kings Cross around 2145
10:06.15wethrinSo if there's a gllug meeting in that sort of region of London, I may pop in
10:07.22morsingwethrin: FOSDEM is next month
10:08.04wethrinNo, it's this month
10:08.18wethrin30th/31st January
10:12.52yaMattwethrin, I think that's the plan, the Thursday
10:13.20yaMattbut the venue is nearer Waterloo
10:13.33yaMattdidn't think about having it closer to Kings Cross. Oops
10:13.38wethrinHm. How close to W'loo?
10:13.45yaMatt5 minute walk
10:13.47wethrinWell, different venues are awkward for different people :)
10:13.52yaMattyeah
10:14.06wethrinI'll have a think. It may be possible....
10:14.17yaMattgetting to Waterloo is quite easy from KX
10:14.20wethrin10pm for an hour or so is reasonable, right?
10:14.32yaMattwhen's your eurostar?
10:14.36wethrin150something
10:14.38wethrin1503?
10:14.46yaMattoh on the Friday?
10:14.48wethrin1513?
10:14.49wethrinYeah
10:15.15yaMattyeah, I'll be around until about 11
10:15.24yaMattnice and easy for me to get home from Waterloo ;)
10:17.35wethrinEasy enough for me - Bakerloo line to Marylebone, and then train home
10:18.10wethrinI assume some people will be wearing geeky t-shirts? I think there's been a big change of Gllug people since I was involved
10:18.44yaMattI certainly will be
10:18.48yaMattit has changed quite a bit
10:19.19wethrinIt must be about 10 years since I was last at a Gllug event
10:19.23yaMattstill some regulars around though
10:19.29wethrinHurrah!
10:19.41yaMattheheh, don't think I was using Linux 10 years ago
10:19.51wethrinYoungster!
10:19.57wethrinBet you were still in short trousers, too!
10:20.26yaMattheheh, not quite that young, unfortunately
10:20.33wethrinI started with Linux nearly 20 years ago now. I think it was some time in 1996 that I was given my first Linux CD
10:22.58yaMattI did have some pretty early SuSE CDs but never really got in with it
10:23.05yaMattI didn't really switch until Ubuntu 8.10
10:23.22yaMattwhen Vista was looking scary :D
10:33.15wethrinI never had an issue with Windows Vista
10:34.15yaMattwell 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
10:34.44wethrinThat's why I switched to OS X from Linux back in 2002 :)
10:34.53wethrinAt least as a desktop system
10:36.29yaMattI suppose at that time it meant buying a Mac of some kind?
10:36.40yaMattI think it was still a RISC OS at the time?
10:39.29wethrinIt was a PowerPC processor. G4
10:39.42wethrinI had student loan left over, so I bought one
10:40.16yaMattoo... same sort of time they started to support X86 OS
10:40.37yaMattheh, nice, as a secondary school student I guess it didn't seem like an option
10:41.01wethrinSee, youngster! I was finishing Uni then
10:41.23yaMattor unemployed, or something, can't believe I was still in school then XD
11:04.42morsingwethrin: I'm eating proper cheese!
11:10.05wethrinStilton?
