01:03.18 | ndim | kierra: Exactly. That's why DST sucks. |
01:03.34 | mviron | ndim! |
01:03.48 | ndim | Which reminds me... it is now 4 minutes after 01:59, i.e. 03:03. |
01:03.55 | kierra | hehe |
01:04.23 | mviron | sends ndim off to alaska for 6 months |
01:04.44 | kierra | rofl |
01:06.13 | ndim | packages up a trillion mosquitos for mviron. |
01:06.35 | ndim | Hmm. |
01:06.40 | mviron | have a good night ndim |
01:06.45 | kierra | nite mviron |
01:06.51 | mviron | heads off to bed before he falls asleep on the couch |
01:07.14 | ndim | night mviron |
01:07.26 | ndim | <- can spell properly |
01:10.06 | ndim | Haha. Now I have a working Django-based app which lists all my usual stops in a matrix and brings up the proper train/bus schedule query on a single click whenever I want to go from A to B. |
01:10.28 | orange | did anyone do earth hour? |
01:10.48 | ndim | Technology can be so nice when it works. |
01:10.52 | ndim | orange: Do what? |
01:11.01 | orange | earth hour |
01:11.04 | orange | www.google.com |
01:11.12 | catay | the lights out thingie? |
01:11.20 | orange | catay: si |
01:11.51 | catay | I heard something about it , but not sure if much people here did it |
01:12.28 | ndim | What a heap of B$. |
01:12.51 | orange | ndim: why? |
01:13.27 | ndim | If you want to do something about energy consumption, keep everything you're not needing switched off - and do that 24/7/365.25 |
01:13.43 | orange | ndim: that's kind of the point |
01:13.49 | orange | to show people what they can do without |
01:14.00 | orange | this is symbolic |
01:14.09 | orange | obviously it doesn't make any noticable difference |
01:15.09 | orange | The 2007 Earth Hour is estimated to have cut Sydney's mains electricity consumption by between 2.1% and 10.2% for that hour, with as many as 2.2 million people taking part |
01:18.25 | ndim | Well... what can one do in the dark? Sleep, or procreate. |
01:18.45 | ndim | Promote people going to bed early, and they'll save hours of electric lighting every day. |
01:19.17 | orange | read |
01:19.24 | orange | just have to fire up a candle or two |
01:19.41 | ndim | Not enough to read. |
01:19.48 | ndim | Not enough to do any work by. |
01:20.26 | orange | anyway, it's just to raise awareness of how much light you can do without |
01:20.32 | orange | just have a light on where you are, and nothing else |
01:20.59 | ndim | I've noticed you can go without any artificial light in clear nights with more than a quarter of a moon. |
01:21.28 | ndim | I'd suggest switching off the street lights in these nights. |
01:22.47 | ndim | But people will scream about safety concerns when it is dark. |
01:23.03 | ndim | And fear ends all reasonable discussion. |
01:23.50 | ndim | Oh... I have caught myself a few times driving the car without lights. |
01:24.41 | ndim | In town, there is so much light from the street lights that my unconscious does not even think "it is dark", so it does not make me switch on the headlights. |
01:25.03 | ndim | I'd say we get rid of streetlights. People should just get themselves LED headlamps. |
01:25.31 | ndim | That would also do away with most lighting in houses. |
01:25.51 | catay | hehe |
01:26.08 | catay | the only light i got now is from my screen :p |
01:26.41 | *** join/##kierra whodaman- (n=whodaman@pdpc/supporter/student/whodaman-) |
01:27.34 | ndim | I'm running my laptop at about 30W from the mains, a 23W energy saving lightbulb, and a 6W DSL router. |
01:28.06 | ndim | The central heating is also consuming something, as are the fridge and freezer. |
01:28.33 | ndim | I need some ambient light around the screen or my eyes go crazy |
01:31.17 | ndim | Oh, I forgot the transformer for the doorbell. |
01:32.22 | catay | turn it off!! |
01:32.24 | ndim | lets his subconscious think a little about a few issues of timetables, geographic layouts, and map rendering. |
01:34.15 | catay | is it easy to make a webapp very quick in django when you have some python knowledge? |
01:34.40 | catay | any idea how it compares to rails ? |
01:34.58 | ndim | It is quite quick, yes. |
01:35.18 | ndim | It compares to rails quite well for me - as I know Python, but not Ruby. |
01:35.29 | ndim | But wait a sec |
01:36.32 | ndim | Hmm. http://www.djangoproject.com/snakesandrubies/ |
01:36.42 | ndim | From 2005. That is ancient. |

01:41.40 | ndim | OMG. |
01:41.42 | catay | :P |
01:41.49 | catay | how is gn00bie doing? |

01:41.54 | ndim | From 2005. |
01:42.08 | gn00bie | so drool smiley will be :P------o-o-o |
01:42.26 | gn00bie | good catay, you? (besides getting drooled on that is) |

01:43.50 | gn00bie | ndim: consider it done |
01:44.12 | gn00bie | duct tapes whodaman- to the floor and drools all over whodaman- too |

01:44.57 | catay | hopes it's not toxic |
01:45.23 | gn00bie | nah, very nutritious |
01:45.45 | catay | the coil or the drooling? :p |
01:46.03 | catay | ~dict coil |
01:46.25 | catay | a coil is a vegetable right? |
01:46.25 | orange | cooking oil? |
01:46.31 | gn00bie | cooking oil! |
01:46.48 | gn00bie | the drool is very good for you catay |
01:46.48 | orange | makes a lot more sense that way |
01:46.58 | ndim | A coil is something you make a magnetic field with. |
01:47.11 | gn00bie | I have been spending too much time on solenoids :( |
01:47.12 | catay | ooh |
01:47.20 | ndim | heh |
01:47.49 | gn00bie | coenergy is a very elegant construct, me likey |
01:47.56 | gn00bie | ok brb |
02:06.26 | ndim | catay: In case you're watching a 2005 intro to Django... some syntax things etc. have changed since. |
02:06.32 | ndim | (i.e. become better/easier/) |
02:06.45 | Birdie | catay: what are you doing up at 4am:) |
02:07.45 | ndim | Hmm. I fear I need to model the PostGIS stuff for Django myself... |
02:17.56 | kierra | bids the channel good night |
02:18.11 | gn00bie | kierra: too bad you do not live in the keys |
02:18.17 | catay | Birdie: wasting time :P |
02:18.19 | kierra | why? |
02:18.20 | gn00bie | I had a brilliant idea for a story |
02:18.28 | gn00bie | alicia keys, shakierra, catay |
02:18.36 | kierra | kierra from the keys |
02:18.37 | catay | leave me out this time :P |
02:18.38 | gn00bie | but you are off the keys by a few hundred miles |
02:18.40 | kierra | oh boy |
02:18.45 | catay | ndim deserves a place in it :) |
02:18.48 | gn00bie | catay: nah, unpossible! :P |
02:18.52 | kierra | most ppl dont know geography |
02:19.01 | Birdie | i know everything from geographgy |
02:19.04 | Birdie | geography |
02:19.26 | gn00bie | so well, I must wait for the next brilliant idea |
02:19.28 | orange | I am not strong in geography, sadly |
02:19.37 | gn00bie | is there a spanish name that is close to catay? |
02:19.54 | Birdie | noche? |
02:19.55 | catay | don't tell him! :P |
02:19.56 | gn00bie | other than the obvious senor catay that is |
02:19.59 | Birdie | (if i'm not wrong) |
02:20.07 | gn00bie | noche = catay ? |
02:20.17 | Birdie | noche aint the spanish word for night? |
02:20.28 | gn00bie | catay means night in flemish? |
02:20.33 | Birdie | lol no |
02:20.43 | gn00bie | :P too good to be true then |
02:20.48 | Birdie | catay = lazy |
02:20.51 | Birdie | ;) |
02:20.59 | gn00bie | Birdie: you kid me not? |
02:21.06 | Birdie | i am:) |
02:21.14 | Birdie | would be funny if that was true |
02:21.16 | catay | catay is actually cat-eye but slightly modified to make it look cooler :p |
02:21.23 | gn00bie | catay could have an evil twin ratay? |
02:21.34 | catay | in dutch you pronounce it like cat-eye anyway |
02:21.57 | Birdie | i pronounce it like "cateey" |
02:22.31 | ndim | gn00bie: Looking at things from here, kierra and the keys are quite close. |
02:22.37 | gn00bie | humm, tasty cat eyes, blind cats |
02:22.59 | gn00bie | ndim: at least 400 miles, probably more like 500 maybe |
02:23.30 | gn00bie | maybe kierra goes holidaying in the keys, runs into catay who is looking for alicia keys? |
02:23.50 | gn00bie | cows, moo, NASCAR |
02:24.05 | catay | looks like gn00bie has a creative moment == dangerous |
02:24.06 | gn00bie | National Stock Cow Racing? |

02:25.01 | gn00bie | catay: dangerous how? |
02:25.45 | catay | it results in weird stories :p |

02:27.54 | gn00bie | I am trying to think how to get bz_BL into this one? |
02:28.11 | gn00bie | catay: maybe you are an IRA member? |
02:28.28 | catay | nah, i hate violence :p |
02:28.28 | gn00bie | I should have explored the whole runaway IRA member angle last time! |
02:29.01 | catay | ok, bedtime for me! 0430am here :p |

10:43.31 | gn00bie | it is actually a poem, over 150 paragraphs in it, the youtube version has perhaps a dozen of them in it, the longer version from a trained singer is 36 odd |
10:44.44 | kierra | ah |
10:44.59 | kierra | i like Indian music |
10:45.09 | kierra | has nice rhythm |
10:45.58 | gn00bie | the version on youtube is rather folksy, this other version is neo-classical - runs 36 minutes or so |

10:58.00 | whodaman- | kierra, I thought people might think it's a sign of "knowledge" to put a period after every sentence |
10:58.02 | kierra | okies gn00bie |
10:58.10 | whodaman- | that it makes things they say "definite" and without fault |
10:58.24 | gn00bie | kierra: Indian music has 2 schools of classical music, and several neo-classical schools |
10:58.56 | gn00bie | think_tank: long time no see |
10:59.22 | kierra | in real life, whodaman- the lack of good grammar/syntax/spelling/language mechanics spells lack of attention to detail, ignorance, etc |
10:59.47 | whodaman- | How is putting a period at the end of a question good grammar? |
11:00.05 | kierra | that would be lang mechanics |
11:00.12 | kierra | i am lumping it all together |
11:00.38 | kierra | the errors I see in advertisements, business letters etc |
11:00.41 | gn00bie | I have got a clan of whodamen |
11:01.04 | gn00bie | whodaman-: as a bilingual person, you are probably above average when it comes to "correctness" |

18:17.48 | gn00bie | so what do you call this thing in flemish? |
18:18.05 | gn00bie | yeah, it was a real good one :) and only kierra could have thought of it on this channel :) |
18:18.41 | catay | een slabbertje |
18:18.43 | catay | hehe |
18:18.58 | gn00bie | so slabber = drooling? |
18:19.08 | catay | no :) |
18:19.42 | catay | look it up on google and search for the images |
18:19.53 | catay | for slabbertje that is, if you don't believe me :) |
18:20.05 | catay | drooling .. hmmm, in slang we say 'zeveren' |
18:20.17 | catay | but that's not correct dutch |
18:20.23 | catay | let me think :) |
18:20.37 | gn00bie | gets his photochops ready :) |
18:21.06 | gn00bie | oh I believe you - I was just trying to figure out if there was any obvious etymology there |
18:21.36 | gn00bie | in the word een slabbertje that is |
18:21.53 | catay | whats it called in hindi ? |
18:22.46 | gn00bie | I don't think there is a hindi word for it, so it is just called a bib |
18:23.19 | catay | hehe |
18:24.25 | gn00bie | the whole conversation took a different turn post bib |
18:25.03 | mviron | sends catay 2,000,000 words of flemish to translate |
18:27.03 | catay | bib bib bib |
18:27.30 | catay | ever seen the tv-serie Dark Angel with Jessica Alba? |
18:27.55 | gn00bie | catay: there may be a photoshop activity on right now to put a bib around you (or to put you in a bib) |
18:28.03 | catay | the boss of the Jam Pony messenger service always said 'bib bib bib' when it wasn't going fast enough :P |
18:28.29 | catay | OMG |
18:29.00 | catay | gn00bie: where in the US do you live ? :p |

18:31.05 | catay | lol |
18:31.08 | catay | no tv??? |
18:31.41 | catay | well, guess that's a good thing |
18:31.47 | gn00bie | yup, no TV |
18:31.51 | gn00bie | just 2 computers |
18:32.00 | AHA | gn00bie, i agree with the jessica alba point to made |
18:32.06 | catay | the majority on tv is crap anyway :p |
18:32.18 | gn00bie | tv is a waste of time, and time is in short supply anyway |
18:32.30 | catay | irc is better :p |

18:34.51 | gn00bie | weekend's gone, with the wind, the weekend's gone |
18:35.13 | catay | well,from tuesday my last 3 months at my current job start |
18:35.39 | catay | and in July i can start at my new employer |
18:35.55 | catay | i am looking forward to it ... it's gonna be a long 3 months |
18:35.58 | gn00bie | so you have to let your employer know 3 months before you leave? |
18:36.06 | catay | yeah |
18:36.20 | catay | depends on how long you work there |
18:36.28 | catay | i work there now 8 years |
18:36.39 | gn00bie | when I have changed jobs (only once) - it was 2 weeks, and I did not do a single uselful thing in those two weeks |
18:37.01 | catay | so when i resign, it goes in the first of the next month |
18:37.07 | catay | and i still have to work there 3 months |
18:37.18 | catay | unless my employer agrees to do a shorter term |
18:37.20 | gn00bie | 3 months is a long freaking time |
18:37.38 | catay | during that time I have to make sure all my projects are handed over to someone else |
18:37.46 | gn00bie | does employer know resignation is coming? or will it be surprise? |
18:37.49 | catay | knowledge transfer , stuff like that |
18:37.57 | catay | it was a surprise for him |
18:38.04 | catay | i did it earlier this month |
18:38.15 | catay | it's still my first job |
18:38.25 | mviron | in theory, I only have to give 2 weeks notice, but I've been at my job over 6 yrs now |
18:38.27 | gn00bie | ok, here is an idea - tell him you can only work for two weeks after resignation, if he agrees good, otherwise tell him April Fools joke |
18:38.47 | catay | hehe, won't work here :) |

18:40.32 | catay | heh, no need :) |
18:40.40 | catay | my employer is pretty ok |
18:40.51 | catay | my current manager always treated me fair |
18:41.47 | gn00bie | lol |
18:42.03 | catay | what ? :P |
18:42.06 | gn00bie | puts catay on a horse and ignites fireworks |
18:42.14 | mviron | sends catay 2,000 shows of mythbusters on dvd |
18:42.22 | catay | oooooh |
18:42.36 | catay | gn00bie: you guys actually do that in India :P |
18:42.41 | mviron | 2,000 shows or every episode known to man |
18:42.55 | gn00bie | catay: yeah, unfortunately we tend to do it more often than we should |
18:42.57 | catay | i saw it on the video of an indian co-worker when he got married |
18:43.10 | catay | he was placed on top of a horse while they were shooting with guns around it |
18:43.28 | gn00bie | did the horse throw him off, that is usually my favourite part |
18:43.54 | catay | no , i think they drugged the horse, it was extremly calm :P |
18:43.54 | gn00bie | ah ok |
18:44.02 | gn00bie | in your case, the horse shall be on speed |
18:44.20 | ndim | Hahaha. "slabbertje" -> "Schlabberlatz". |
18:45.32 | catay | shouldn't it be schlabritz ? |
18:46.16 | ndim | No. |
18:47.05 | ndim | "Latz" would be the piece of cloth in front of your chest which is tied around your neck. |
18:47.27 | ndim | And "schlabber"... hmm. Must be some graphic reference to drooling. |
18:47.37 | gn00bie | lol |
18:48.26 | ndim | We have the word "Latzhose", i.e. a pair of pants which have a piece of cloth up front and which are then suspended from your shoulders. |
18:49.17 | gn00bie | dungarees basically? |
18:49.28 | ndim | Ah. bib overall, dungarees, |
18:49.34 | ndim | (says the dictionary) |
18:49.57 | ndim | Ah. |

19:27.31 | gn00bie | USB disk will probably make the actual installation somewhat slower |
19:29.09 | ndim | Not really |
19:29.21 | ndim | laptop disk is slow anyway |
19:29.31 | ndim | 20..25MB/s is enough for me |

20:52.50 | whodaman | but thankfully |
20:52.51 | whodaman | I don't |
20:52.52 | ndim | what? |
20:53.31 | ndim | Ah, reference to the cartoon |
20:54.27 | gn00bie | never underestimate the predictability of stupidity - Vinnie Jones in Snatch |
20:54.44 | gn00bie | thus the question you always get |
20:54.54 | ndim | Vinnie in Snatch? |
20:55.44 | ndim | BTW... the resolution to the 666 question was "kernel-headers" |

21:02.01 | gn00bie | not sure, lemme check |
21:02.03 | ndim | ~dict whiskey |
21:02.22 | gn00bie | I think both spellings are valid |
21:02.46 | QuantumT1m | ey is irish, y is scottish, I believe |
21:03.11 | gn00bie | and since this is an Irish folk song, Whiskey in the Jar |
21:03.16 | gn00bie | QuantumTim: you are very discrete |
21:03.25 | ndim | QuantumTim: Ah, makes sense. I'd guess using the scottish spelling in Ireland is quick way to get yourself killed, then |
21:03.40 | gn00bie | ndim: ask catay - he is Irish |
21:03.49 | ndim | (and vice versa) |
21:04.17 | ndim | Oh. Package #1492 coming up. |

21:06.22 | gn00bie | amerigo vesepucci or something |

21:53.15 | Birdie | when did belgium became independent:) |
21:53.39 | Birdie | ndim might know that, i doubt you will:) |
21:53.39 | ndim | 1944 or 45... |
21:53.46 | Birdie | lol? |
21:53.53 | ndim | Haha. One more event coming up: The 32bit time_t wraparound. |
21:53.53 | Birdie | i mean |
21:53.57 | Birdie | when was it formed |
21:54.00 | ndim | Birdie: Read your backlog |
21:54.03 | Birdie | not when it was out of war |
21:54.10 | gn00bie | 1860s Birdie ? |
21:54.14 | Birdie | earlyer |
21:54.19 | ndim | 23:42 < ndim> 1830... a new country on the map: Belgium! |
21:54.23 | gn00bie | there was a king leo of some sort in charge back in the late 1800s |
21:55.41 | catay | 9 hours ... and work week starts! |
21:55.45 | catay | eeew |
21:55.46 | catay | :) |
21:55.49 | Birdie | lol ndim |
21:55.51 | Birdie | i didnt read that |
21:56.06 | Birdie | that shows how good gnoobie reads what you say;) |
21:56.11 | Birdie | (i wasnt here when you said all that) |
21:56.20 | ndim | Birdie: There are three important dates in the inner-german post-war history: 1953 (worker uprising in the east), 1961 (wall built), 1989 (wall fell) |
21:56.58 | ndim | np: Highway To Hell (local band, a capella version) |
21:57.09 | ndim | ah no. with the brass band. |
21:57.17 | gn00bie | Birdie: I am not a good reader, no :P |
21:57.25 | Birdie | you are more a writer:p |
21:57.54 | ndim | A screen writer without a producer, a director, or a cast. |
21:58.08 | gn00bie | I do have a cast :P |
21:58.16 | gn00bie | mostly catay though |
21:58.57 | gn00bie | a detective without a future, a woman without a past, a screen writer without a cast |
21:59.10 | whodaman | hey Birdie |
21:59.34 | gn00bie | and at great peril, let me revise that |
21:59.46 | gn00bie | a detective without a future, a woman without a past, a screen writer without a cast, a dexter without a lab, a chip maker without a fab |
21:59.52 | gn00bie | runs for cover |
22:00.15 | Birdie | hey whodaman |
22:00.37 | ndim | BTW... that lab is a laboratory, or a labrador? |
22:00.45 | whodaman | hM? |
22:01.19 | ndim | German "Lab": stuff from one of a cow's stomachs, used to start cheese |
22:01.25 | gn00bie | hehe |
22:01.51 | gn00bie | the laboratory mostly, though in one episode there was a dog in addition to the usual stuff |
22:01.55 | ndim | (You can tell I have nothing more to do right now than what numbers scroll by, right?) |
22:02.06 | ndim | s/what/watch/ |
22:02.08 | ndim | Meh. |
22:03.25 | gn00bie | aqualung my friend, don't you meh away so easy |
22:03.38 | ndim | Jethro TUll? |
22:03.46 | gn00bie | cuddles inodes again |
22:03.49 | gn00bie | ndim: yup |
22:04.31 | ndim | Hmm. No more year references. It won't reach 2525 |
22:05.18 | gn00bie | only if you will restrict yourself to the Julian Calendar |
22:05.52 | ndim | I don't know any numbers in any other calendar |
22:06.16 | gn00bie | there are two in India |
22:06.26 | ndim | It would need to be a calendar starting a few hundred years B.C. |
22:06.26 | gn00bie | Vikrami Samwat is the more widely used of the two |
22:07.03 | gn00bie | I think that the islamic calendar starts around 700 AD because of the koran, could be wrong though |
22:07.09 | ndim | gn00bie: And its start date being? |
22:07.29 | gn00bie | ndim: start date is ~100 B.C. |
22:07.41 | ndim | 2222! The End is nigh! |
22:07.53 | ndim | THat would fit. |
22:08.01 | gn00bie | the end is always near! |
22:08.15 | gn00bie | all 3 gigs downloaded? |
22:08.39 | ndim | The Jewish calendar is also of no use. We'd have to be dating iron and bronze age events. |
22:09.05 | ndim | gn00bie: Yupp. 45 packages to go for 3.1G |
22:10.07 | gn00bie | wow, that was quick |
22:10.13 | ndim | I am glad I am not on a 33.6K modem... |
22:10.19 | gn00bie | 10mbit? |
22:10.35 | ndim | Uhm. A few mbit DSL |
22:10.48 | ndim | I can't remember the number :) |
22:10.52 | ndim | 6000? |
22:11.09 | ndim | Or the telco has enabled something faster by mistake. |
22:11.56 | gn00bie | 6mbit would explain the speed |
22:12.14 | ndim | About 1GB/hour. |
22:13.12 | gn00bie | not shabby |
22:14.03 | ndim | 2293/2293 |
22:14.29 | kierra | who is thinktank |
22:14.37 | kierra | where does he play? :) |
22:14.40 | kierra | FFA? |
22:14.44 | ndim | think_tank: Who are you? Where do you play? FFA? |
22:14.49 | kierra | new nick? |
22:14.49 | whodaman | lol |
22:14.52 | whodaman | nah |
22:14.58 | whodaman | he's sorta old-ish |
22:15.03 | think_tank | lol |
22:15.03 | whodaman | Allrounder, I'd say |
22:15.05 | think_tank | "old-ish" |
22:15.07 | kierra | i could tell that by his tank |
22:15.10 | kierra | old |
22:15.15 | whodaman | has turned into a GU/PB/Duc ONLY! |
22:15.15 | ndim | rusty red? |
22:15.15 | kierra | needs a paint job |
22:15.22 | gn00bie | his skin is cold |
22:15.31 | ndim | Duc is the One True Way. |
22:15.34 | kierra | i like spirals |
22:15.36 | gn00bie | I suspect he is an apple model |
22:15.40 | kierra | and badgerking |
22:15.41 | whodaman | hwh |
22:15.43 | whodaman | meh |
22:15.50 | whodaman | badgerkind has lousy admins |
22:15.53 | kierra | he's pretty concrete |
22:15.54 | whodaman | = tons of cheating |
22:15.59 | ndim | gn00bie: think_tank should be a THinkPad, not an Apple |
22:15.59 | kierra | really? |
22:16.01 | whodaman | spiralz can be fun |
22:16.04 | whodaman | kierra, yap |
22:16.05 | kierra | yes |
22:16.19 | kierra | i dont see it |
22:16.25 | kierra | but then I'm a noob |
22:16.35 | kierra | i dont like laser and gm |
22:16.39 | whodaman | same |
22:16.41 | kierra | they are lame |
22:16.43 | whodaman | a lot of flag giving cheats |
22:16.53 | whodaman | high speed, quick turn and thief are awesome |
22:17.01 | whodaman | agility is for wimps :p |
22:17.01 | kierra | ~poke think_tank |
22:17.02 | purl | ACTION cuts down a small tree, sneaks up behind think_tank, pokes think_tank repeatedly, hilarity ensues. |
22:17.08 | think_tank | giggles. |
22:17.14 | gn00bie | ndim: you are probably right, but think different is apple marketing, aye? |
22:17.15 | kierra | i like stealth and superbullet |
22:17.22 | kierra | sb is my favorite |
22:17.31 | gn00bie | kierra: thanks :) |
22:17.43 | gn00bie | toungue firmly in cheek of course |
22:17.47 | whodaman | :D |

22:19.19 | whodaman | I wish my mom were as cool |
22:19.20 | whodaman | :( |
22:19.21 | kierra | and big sister |
22:19.34 | kierra | she is, whodaman, just in a different way |
22:19.36 | whodaman | she's so weird about anything tech related |
22:19.52 | kierra | just takes patience teaching and encouragement |
22:19.56 | whodaman | :P |
22:20.01 | whodaman | hf with your company |
22:20.01 | kierra | offer to teach her a lil |
22:20.09 | gn00bie | whodaman: like her for who is she is, don't sleight her for who she is not |
22:20.14 | gn00bie | we all have our weaknesses |
22:20.34 | whodaman | gn00bie, /me has heard that so many times..... guess it's true |
22:21.39 | gn00bie | sorry if that came out right, I am notorious for not thinking about what I say :P |
22:21.46 | gn00bie | that probably did come out wrong, sorry whodaman |
22:22.06 | whodaman | lol.. |
22:22.19 | ndim | Haha. Yum hard at work. 13 CPU minutes, 100% CPU, but RAM stopped at 500MB... |
22:22.31 | gn00bie | how much ram does the box have |
22:22.37 | ndim | 3G |
22:22.46 | gn00bie | if projected income works out for the year, will be doing something to replace the desktop for xmas |
22:22.56 | gn00bie | it still has lots of useful life left in it though |
22:22.59 | whodaman | hmm, I'd love to be an expert at Adobe PS and Blender |
22:23.03 | ndim | I have not had a desktop in years. |
22:23.14 | whodaman | ndim, yay laptops all the way |
22:23.17 | gn00bie | ndim: I like the big screens, fast HDs, etc |
22:23.35 | whodaman | hmm, school in about 6hours ... not good |
22:23.40 | gn00bie | my laptop is a lowly 500 dollar deal |
22:23.43 | gn00bie | whodaman: I love school |
22:23.55 | whodaman | <PROTECTED> |
22:23.55 | ndim | gn00bie: Granted. If I had the money to afford two devices, it would be a desktop and a 1.0..1.5kg laptop. |
22:24.04 | ndim | school was cool |
22:24.08 | gn00bie | whodaman: I love school especially when it happens to others |
22:24.12 | ndim | (in retrospect, at least) |
22:24.23 | whodaman | gn00bie, same thing with homework, yeah I know |
22:24.25 | ndim | gn00bie: Or when you're done with it. |
22:24.25 | whodaman | meany |
22:24.26 | gn00bie | the laptop DoDA has is fancier, but she uses it for real work and music stuff she does |
22:24.31 | whodaman | grr |
22:24.32 | whodaman | :( |
22:24.39 | gn00bie | whodaman: I am a funny fellow :) |
22:24.40 | whodaman | I have a german exman on a book by Goethe |
22:24.51 | ndim | Werther or Faust? |
22:24.52 | whodaman | sorta ... not so good |
22:25.03 | whodaman | Goetz von Berlichingen |
22:25.06 | ndim | Oh. |
22:25.12 | whodaman | s/oh/EW |
22:25.15 | gn00bie | I am semi-familiar with Faust I think |
22:25.21 | ndim | HF (I have no idea about GOetz) |
22:25.31 | whodaman | TY ( IT SUCKS) |
22:25.36 | gn00bie | whodaman: yeah, have loads of fun |
22:25.46 | gn00bie | try and make stuff rhyme, it is less painful that way |
22:25.47 | whodaman | well, good writing ... goethe style of course |
22:25.56 | ndim | German exams' and lessons' suckiness depends 95% on the teacher |
22:26.04 | whodaman | gn00bie, huh? I'm not writing another book |
22:26.14 | gn00bie | whodaman: maybe you should! |
22:26.28 | gn00bie | I was talking about the exam though |
22:26.55 | ndim | remembers his final exam in German. 5 hours of time. 4 spent collecting material, 1 spent actually writing text. |
22:26.58 | whodaman | ndim, Frau Engesser - sorta old, bad smelling woman |
22:27.30 | whodaman | relatively interesting and intelligent but not the nicest when it comes to mistakes |
22:27.44 | ndim | AH, mistakes... |
22:27.56 | whodaman | I don't mind making them |
22:28.12 | whodaman | 5 on a grammar exam |
22:28.27 | ndim | ... |
22:28.33 | whodaman | :P |
22:28.54 | whodaman | ndim, don't make me feel even worse! |
22:29.09 | ndim | Oh my. "Running Transaction Test" for 15 minutes... |
22:29.32 | *** join/##kierra ep (n=mdr@about/essy/guynextdoor/ep) |
22:29.32 | ndim | whodaman: I have always read lots and lots of books, so I never had any problems with grammar or orthography. |
22:29.49 | ndim | (Until they decided on new rules :) |
22:29.53 | whodaman | ndim, I really prefer to read in english |
22:30.05 | whodaman | vocabulary is quite decent, spelling isn't |
22:30.21 | ndim | whodaman: I heartily recommend... uhm wait. You're 14, right? |
22:31.14 | whodaman | yeah |
22:31.23 | whodaman | I just recently got into reading Raymond Carver |
22:31.31 | ndim | OK, that's a little difficult. |
22:31.44 | whodaman | IMO, one of the best short-story writers around. |
22:31.48 | whodaman | ever. |
22:32.13 | ndim | Most stuff is written by adults for adults, and I can't imagine I'd have had any fun reading that kind of stuff when I was 14. |
22:33.03 | ndim | I love Erich Kästner and Friedrich Dürrenmatt. |
22:33.10 | whodaman | As I lay dying -- difficult at the beginning, extraordinary once you get into it |
22:33.50 | ndim | Kästner is most famous for his children's books, but he wrote a lot of other stuff as well. |
22:34.54 | ndim | His books were among those the Nazis burnt in 1933, so afterwards he could only write unpolitical children's stories. |
22:35.07 | ndim | Oh, and the screenplay for the Münchhausen movie. |
22:35.30 | ndim | "Transaction Test Succeeded"! |
22:35.45 | ndim | And, of course, that final most-imporant movie. |
22:36.07 | gn00bie | I recommend And Quiet Flows the Don |
22:36.12 | gn00bie | wait, that is in russian :P |
22:36.39 | ndim | In 1945, the Russians were standing in front of Berlin, the Americans were across the Rhine... and people urgently wanted to get away from Berlin and the Russians. |
22:37.02 | ndim | Of course, the Nazi propaganda still believed in Final Victory. |
22:37.19 | ndim | So a few enterprising artists and film makers used that. |
22:37.37 | ndim | The German People needs a good entertainment movie after Final Victory, right? |
22:37.54 | ndim | And what is better for that than a movie shot in the idyllic Alp panorama? |
22:38.11 | ndim | So, we're going to need assistants, electricians, authors, etc. |
22:38.54 | ndim | ...and they managed to pull that off and set off to the safety of the mountains in Austria with a few hundred people, ostentatiously shooting a movie. |
22:39.13 | ndim | I love how Kästner tells that story, and those around it. |
22:40.50 | ndim | Hmm. Hermann Hesse can be a little too depressing. |
22:41.30 | ndim | whodaman: I'll keep you in mind next time I go through my books. |
22:41.44 | whodaman | kk |
22:41.59 | ndim | whodaman: And now, shoo! Off to bed! |
22:43.00 | gn00bie | whodaman: stay up for a while |
22:43.07 | gn00bie | that way you will be sleepier :P |
22:43.12 | whodaman | :\ |
22:44.43 | kierra | ep!!!!!!! |
22:44.55 | kierra | studs are on a roll! |
22:47.49 | ndim | sends whodaman his "Grundlagen der Numerik" book to read. |
22:48.00 | ndim | gn00bie: That should make him sleepy in no time at all. |
22:48.33 | ep | yay! |
22:48.44 | ep | I can't play :( |
22:48.57 | ep | what happened? Who'd ya play |
22:49.13 | ep | kierra |
22:49.17 | ndim | Oh my. If I look around myself and take inventory of all the books I can see... 70% are in English, 1% in French and the rest in German |
22:49.28 | AHA | i dont have books |
22:49.36 | AHA | because i dont like reading :p |
22:49.51 | ndim | I have a good 4 ft in English language CS and EE literature. |
22:50.10 | ndim | Another 4ft of English language novels |
22:50.52 | ndim | And a few yards of German stuff mostly hidden away somewhere. |
22:50.56 | ndim | Ahaha! |
22:51.39 | ndim | gets a few ideas what to send to whodaman |
22:52.46 | ndim | Yay. It's installing packages! |
22:53.03 | ndim | 11/4481 |
22:54.44 | whodaman | catay! :o http://www.pics.bzleague.com/displayimage.php?album=topn&cat=0&pos=7 |
22:54.46 | ndim | wonders how gn00bie's indian calendar divides a year. |
22:55.04 | ndim | weeks are arbitrary units after all. |
22:55.14 | ndim | months can be attached to moon phases if need be. |
22:55.39 | gn00bie | it is lunar |
22:55.46 | gn00bie | so 13 months of 4 weeks each |
22:56.00 | gn00bie | and then there are the adjustments every few years to keep it real |
22:56.04 | ndim | THe week being a quarter of moon phase? |
22:57.01 | gn00bie | humm, yes |
22:57.07 | ndim | gn00bie: Uhm. And what about other time units, smaller than a day? |
22:57.37 | gn00bie | the smallest in Indian system going back 700 BC is a kshana |
22:57.40 | ndim | The Romans divided the day into 12 hours, and the night into 8 hours... |
22:57.46 | gn00bie | day has 6 prahars of 4 hours each |
22:58.08 | catay | whodaman: that was I when i was still young :P |
22:58.15 | whodaman | :D |
22:58.18 | catay | wow, i was still smoking then :P |
22:58.23 | ndim | What? Ouch. |
22:58.33 | ndim | Oh. A beer image? |
22:58.48 | catay | no :) |
22:58.57 | catay | the picture was actually taken in the UK |
22:59.15 | catay | in Barnard Castle , a town close to Newcastle |
22:59.17 | ndim | Ah. So it isn't the one with Birdie in front of the tank in the museum |
22:59.21 | catay | no |
22:59.42 | ndim | feels so cut off from the world without a graphical browser. |
22:59.47 | catay | lol |
22:59.51 | catay | haha |
23:00.06 | gn00bie | catay: good photoshop material |
23:00.09 | catay | wait, i'll put the ascii-art version online :P |
23:00.16 | ndim | Gnargl |
23:00.34 | catay | gn00bie: it's copyrighted :P |
23:00.44 | gn00bie | catay: hehe, tough cookies :P |
23:00.58 | gn00bie | what saved you is that I do not have photoshop |
23:01.01 | gn00bie | but I do have gimp |
23:01.05 | ndim | So? Sony BMG does not care about copyrights either... |
23:01.09 | ep | Those "tough cookies" are trademarked |
23:01.10 | catay | i reall should go to bed .... 1 am , have to get up at 8am |
23:01.20 | catay | but i'm not in the mood :p |
23:01.25 | ndim | http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9362/Sony+BMG+Sued+for+Software+Piracy+-+Assets+Seized |
23:01.29 | ndim | :) |
23:01.37 | gn00bie | catay: whodaman has to get up even earlier |
23:01.40 | ep | I got a new monitor today. Yay! |
23:01.54 | ndim | I guess whodaman has to be at school before 8am |
23:02.00 | ep | But I lost 3D in the process grr |
23:02.00 | catay | ep: goodie :) |
23:02.05 | whodaman | duh |
23:02.09 | whodaman | hey ep |
23:02.14 | catay | so far the new monitor :p |
23:02.15 | ndim | ep: Oh. Bought a flat screen by mistake? |
23:02.16 | ep | youdaman! |
23:02.30 | ep | mistake? |
23:02.43 | ndim | ep: A flat 2D screen, when you wanted 3D... |
23:03.00 | whodaman | Manu, I think your wife looks a little like Steffi Graf :D |
23:03.04 | whodaman | http://www.pics.bzleague.com/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=82 |
23:03.22 | ep | are we talking about monitors here :-) |
23:04.04 | ndim | Yeah, and I am making bad jokes. |
23:04.25 | ndim | 222/4481 |
23:04.42 | ep | me too ndim --- bad joke |
23:05.00 | ndim | I should just go sleep and wake up tomorrow to a completely broken system installation. |
23:05.15 | gn00bie | always fun |
23:05.37 | ep | Ubuntu Can I just change the "nv" back to "nvidia" in xorg.cong ? to get the 3D back |
23:06.01 | ndim | ep: nvidia is the binary-only one? |
23:06.07 | ep | I lost it after running dpkg-reconfig xorg-settings |
23:06.09 | ndim | ep: You can try. |
23:06.14 | ep | i think so ndim |
23:06.16 | gn00bie | yup, as long as you have nvidia drivers installed |
23:06.16 | ndim | Ah, dpkg-reconfig |
23:06.19 | ndim | fun |
23:06.34 | ndim | I have multiple sections for different drivers in my xorg.conf |
23:06.52 | ndim | (vesa, radeon, radeonhd, fglrx) |
23:07.34 | ndim | Then I can just uncomment the proper Option "DefaultServerLayout" in the "ServerFlags" section to activate the proper one |
23:08.03 | ndim | Will be overkill if you just need to switch once |
23:09.03 | ndim | rolls over Beethoven |
23:09.08 | ndim | *rock* |
23:10.26 | catay | i call it a day! |

23:10.40 | gn00bie | call it a night |
23:11.26 | ep | This monitor is wider -- wider is better :) Maybe not for bzflag though. Anyway aspect ration is 16:10 not 4:3 |
23:11.31 | Manu | whodaman: heh :) |
23:12.15 | gn00bie | I have a twin 1900x12xx at work, I agree, wider is better |
23:12.44 | gn00bie | 12xx = 1200 or 1280 I think |
23:17.14 | ep | ok gotta restart X... bb in a few (hopefully :) |
23:19.22 | mviron | rings the doorbell |

23:28.59 | ndim | wonders whether bzflag on aalib or libcaca would work... |
23:29.33 | ep | ain't the information age great? |
23:29.48 | ndim | Age is the keyword. |
23:29.59 | ndim | This machine is from 1998 or 1999 |
23:30.28 | gn00bie | I wish I was from 1998 or 1999 |
23:30.54 | ndim | The contemprary/other one is still mutating to a newer software incarnation. |
