| 01:03.34 | mviron | ndim! |
| 01:03.48 | ndim | Which reminds me... it is now 4 minutes after 01:59, i.e. 03:03. |

| 01:04.44 | 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-) |

| 01:28.06 | 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/ |

| 01:45.45 | 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:) |

| 02:17.56 | 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? |

| 02:28.11 | 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 |

| 10:44.59 | kierra | i like Indian music |
| 10:45.09 | kierra | has nice rhythm |

| 10:57.25 | kierra | are you going to explain, whodaman-.....but don't if its dirty |
| 10:57.38 | gn00bie | kierra: no, the 36 minute version is not on youtube, not right now anyway |
| 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" |

| 18:18.58 | gn00bie | so slabber = drooling? |

| 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 |

| 18:27.30 | catay | ever seen the tv-serie Dark Angel with Jessica Alba? |

| 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 |

| 18:35.13 | 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 :) |

| 18:42.36 | 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. |

| 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 |

| 21:03.25 | ndim | QuantumTim: Ah, makes sense. I'd guess using the scottish spelling in Ireland is quick way to get yourself killed, then |

| 21:52.35 | gn00bie | of course trye me is really try me, but you get the idea - Fearless 1971 |

| 21:53.53 | Birdie | i mean |
| 21:53.57 | Birdie | when was it formed |

| 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. |

| 22:03.46 | 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 |

| 22:14.52 | whodaman | nah |

| 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 :) |

| 22:19.34 | kierra | she is, whodaman, just in a different way |
| 22:19.36 | whodaman | she's so weird about anything tech related |

| 22:19.56 | 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. |

| 23:00.06 | gn00bie | catay: good photoshop material |

| 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 |

| 23:01.29 | 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* |

| 23:11.26 | 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 :) |

| 23:28.59 | 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. |
