| 07:54.53 | Leeds | morning bmf_ |
| 07:55.06 | bmf_ | hey leeds - nearly the weekend! |
| 07:55.11 | Leeds | yay! |
| 07:55.31 | bmf_ | can't wait. going to a stag do. go-karting and clay pigeon shooting. |
| 07:55.41 | Leeds | very nice! |
| 07:55.54 | bmf_ | didn't you go to oslo or something last week? or was that another glluger? |
| 07:55.55 | Leeds | I should be doing that... got a wedding next weekend in Paris :-) |
| 07:56.19 | bmf_ | Paris is nice this time of year too. Haven't been this year but I'd like to. |
| 07:57.03 | Leeds | I went last year for a long weekend in early November - went for a concert on Thursday night and stayed for the weekend... be nice to see it when it's not cold and grey though |
| 07:57.07 | Leeds | hmm... |
| 07:58.52 | Leeds | currently forecasting warm - but not too hot - and partly cloudy... which is nice, because I'm going to be spending at least some time in suits :-( |
| 07:58.52 | bmf_ | just did the same myself (only for Brighton - less glamourous!). looks good. sunny but not too hot. |
| 07:59.23 | bmf_ | I've got my solaris 9 pt2 this afternoon. can't wait to get that out the way... |

| 08:00.07 | Leeds | bah, sol9 is obselete :-) |
| 08:01.04 | bmf_ | try learning it on solaris 9 x86. boy is that a heap! I d/l 10 yesterday. can't say I am that excited but I have to learn it ;) |
| 08:01.48 | Leeds | um... I worked on Sol9 for x86 :-) well, on the companion CD... the bit that makes the rest worthwhile :-) |
| 08:02.57 | bmf_ | whoops! well, it's quite old and I am comparing it to the latest linux distros. sorry! :-o |
| 08:03.49 | Leeds | how is it old? I was joking about it being obselete... |
| 08:04.14 | bmf_ | I haven't even tried out the extras on this one as I only needed the basic install to play with things like lvm etc. |
| 08:04.35 | Leeds | ah, well |
| 08:05.39 | Leeds | I live on S9 day-to-day and it works pretty well for me |
| 08:05.44 | bmf_ | I thought it came out over a year ago. I know that's not "old" but linux distros have come on a lot in the last 3 years. |
| 08:06.15 | Leeds | the first release was a while ago, but we put out update releases every 3 months through the livetime of the OS - i.e. until S10 comes out |
| 08:07.24 | bmf_ | well, I'm running solaris 9 4/03 (assembled 25/02/03) |
| 08:08.47 | Leeds | I'm running an internal build dated 12/07/2002 :-) |
| 08:09.03 | bmf_ | I'm sure you could run it as your os happily. I just kinda didn't like the install. if I had the intention of using it day-to-day I'd install lots of gnu stuff and be very happy. after all, it is *nix |
| 08:09.06 | Cope | Morning all |
| 08:09.08 | Cope | Hi bmf_ |
| 08:09.17 | bmf_ | hey cope. how's it going? |
| 08:09.20 | Cope | Ok! |
| 08:09.23 | Leeds | hey Cope |
| 08:10.07 | Leeds | bmf_: we're closing up update 7 at the moment, so update 6 is probably current |
| 08:10.37 | Cope | bmf_: Nothing wrong with sol 9 - I use sol 8 most of the time here and even that is fine! |
| 08:10.57 | Leeds | bmf_: do you know about /usr/sfw? |
| 08:11.26 | bmf_ | Leeds: yeah, I'd mess with it more in the future. like I say, right now it's just the solaris exam. |
| 08:11.51 | bmf_ | Leeds: I know it's there now I did ls -R |
| 08:12.00 | Leeds | but you didn't know it was there? |
| 08:12.25 | Leeds | as a (partially-qualified) solaris admin... :-) |
| 08:13.12 | bmf_ | no - I didn't have a clue! ;) |
| 08:13.40 | bmf_ | quite a few goodies in there - thanks. |
| 08:14.41 | Cope | I have a few very dull tasks to do, which I have managed not to do for almost a week |
| 08:16.35 | bmf_ | Leeds: I don't admin solaris day-to-day so I haven't delved into other non-exam stuff like that. it'll come when I have to use solaris regularly. |
| 08:19.57 | Cope | I don't know why, but I just don't much like moin moin |
| 08:20.43 | Cope | Although it is written in Python, which is a big redeeming feature |

| 09:32.31 | George | that exam was INCREDIBLY easy |
| 09:32.33 | George | :) |
| 09:34.56 | Leeds | well, it was a GCSE, wasn't it? |
| 09:35.09 | George | it was GCSE greek |
| 09:35.13 | George | not exactly the easiest :P |
| 09:38.23 | Tarragon | Ancient or modern? |
| 09:39.00 | George | ancient. |
| 09:39.22 | George | it was a prose text - Plato's Apology |
| 09:40.31 | Cope | What did he do? |
| 09:40.37 | George | hah |
| 09:40.47 | George | it was an account of Socrates' trial in Athens |
| 09:41.28 | Cope | Dear Mrs Smith, My name is Plato. I am writing to apologise for spitting at your son, Johnnie. |
| 09:41.53 | Cope | George: Did he get into the team? |
| 09:42.18 | Leeds | Cope: of course... you've seen the Monty Python philosopher's football, I assume |
| 09:42.25 | Cope | Leeds: absolutely! |
| 09:46.37 | anth | And I assume you all know their "Bruces' Philosophers Song" |
| 09:47.08 | Cope | anth: You assume correctly. |
| 09:47.39 | Cope | And I assume you would recognise the provenance of the following question: |
| 09:47.56 | Cope | Which great opponent of Cartesian dualism resists the reduction of psychological phenomena to a physical state and insists there is no point of contact between the extended and the unextended? |
| 09:48.12 | Leeds | nope |
| 09:48.17 | Cope | Ah! |
| 09:48.25 | Cope | It's from 'Spot The BrainCell' |
| 09:48.49 | Leeds | ? |
