| 08:18.13 | murb | Dotzheimerstrasse 167 |
| 08:19.35 | Leeds | ah... because it's pretty warm in Tsuen Wan |
| 08:19.57 | Leeds | certainly in Fui Yiu Kok Street, anyway |
| 08:19.58 | murb | Leeds: clearly i'm living on the wrong side of the street and should move :-) |

| 08:41.26 | morsing | Leeds: Of course |
| 08:41.47 | Leeds | so if I'm buying any tickets, it's worth doing my best to buy them in HK rather than UK |
| 08:48.54 | Leeds | well, not cursing... but they don't allow you to book flights online which don't start in .au, so I can't easily window-shop there |

| 09:04.11 | Leeds | hk |
| 09:04.46 | Leeds | need to look into getting a working visa for .lk next, I suppose, since technically you need one to be in the country for almost any reason apart from tourism, even if you're not working for a local company |

| 10:27.18 | gregj | is saying that "I have to trot out" is positive, or rather sounds like intrusive |
| 10:27.37 | wethrin | What context? |
| 10:27.57 | wethrin | In the writing context, it means "i have to produce" (I have to trot out 150 lines by next week) |
| 10:28.17 | highbury | no, it means they think it'll be easy |
| 10:28.18 | wethrin | In the going-out context it just means someone needs to disappear off for a short length of time |
| 10:28.45 | morsing | wethrin: 100x10^10 |
| 10:29.16 | gregj | it should mean that I would like to say something positive, give some message that is news, and I would like to prenounce it to someone |
| 10:29.27 | gregj | in Polish that would be: pochwalic sie |
| 10:29.32 | wethrin | morsing: No :) |
| 10:29.40 | gregj | but I am not able to find anything simillar in English |
| 10:30.15 | wethrin | "I need to celebrate...."? |
| 10:30.24 | gregj | nope |
| 10:30.37 | highbury | generally avoid slang phrases, unless your really sure about them |
| 10:30.42 | wethrin | Blow my own trumpet |
| 10:30.50 | wethrin | Although that's not necessarily positive |
| 10:30.53 | gregj | wethrin: it is like, "looks what I found, I have to show that to you", or "look, I have this wonderfull thing I have to tell you" |
| 10:31.00 | gregj | damn, english lacks some words |
| 10:31.28 | jason_ukfsn | how about something as simple as "I have great news"? |
| 10:31.36 | highbury | why not give us the whole sentence/pargraph to see |
| 10:32.08 | gregj | well, in Polish I would say "musze sie pochwalic", my dict says that direct translation would be "I have to trot out" |
| 10:32.15 | gregj | but I know that's wrong |
| 10:32.22 | jason_ukfsn | wethrin, have you looked on ebay? I used to buy cars from there for about £100 each |
| 10:32.47 | wethrin | jason_ukfsn: I'm not *that* bothered about a car :) |
| 10:32.47 | jason_ukfsn | I'd take "I have to trot out" to mean you were in a rush to get to a toilet! |
| 10:33.52 | gregj | jason_ukfsn: :] |
| 10:34.46 | highbury | to "have the trots" is the phrase for that! |

| 10:52.35 | wethrin | highbury: Ask 15 people and you'll get 15 different responses |

| 11:22.22 | jason_ukfsn | highbury, are you using agencies to find work? Have you asked them for advise on why your CV isn't doing well? |
| 11:31.05 | highbury | I've been mostly applying through the jobsearch websites, and from there thru agencies, none of them have been helpful :-( |
| 11:34.08 | Erwin | I thought agencies generally just wanted a bunch of resumes they could show up and didn't care much for the individual (he doesn't pay them a thing) |
| 11:35.12 | highbury | true, and get between 10-15% of the salary from the employer for the pleasure |
| 11:36.57 | jason_ukfsn | well I've not dealt with a pimp for a very long time so my experience is probably out of date |
| 11:37.32 | kbsingh | in this industry ( IT / Services / Development ) its always a good idea to call around all your contacts, you might get some good inroads that way |

| 12:16.44 | Cope | heh |
| 12:17.03 | Cope | i think the state should set the price, and be done with it |
| 12:18.01 | Leeds | you don't (or shouldn't) pay VAT on books - unless they're ebooks |
| 12:18.41 | Leeds | even if they're ebooks bought from a non-UK (or non-EU) vendor |

| 12:20.02 | murb | but then the domain registration business is anything but clear when it comes to VAT. |
| 12:20.18 | Leeds | murb: that EU law about online vendors is very screwed up anyway |
| 12:20.45 | murb | Leeds: C&E seems to be even more confused, they've given several contraditory statemnets re: selling to non EU folks. |

| 12:39.13 | Leeds | anything specific |
| 12:39.19 | rhowe | Leeds: I wonder if they can publish a changelog... |

| 13:24.22 | morsing | If gzip complains about a 200 character path name limit, is that in gzip, shell or an OS limitation? |
| 13:27.02 | Erwin | gzip doesn't store filenames AFAIK |
| 13:29.37 | morsing | So it would be a problem with...? shell? |
| 13:30.21 | Erwin | Well, what's the command you are executing exactly? |
| 13:35.26 | morsing | Mmm... getting confused now. It's apparently a script running 'gzip -dc | tar' somewhere and then the script later complains that it can't find the files |
| 13:37.55 | rhowe | morsing: Sounds moer like an error that tar would produce |
| 13:41.45 | Erwin | Is it non-gnu tar? That might have a file size limit |
| 13:42.45 | wethrin | 2GB, I think |
| 13:43.11 | wethrin | morsing: Some tars have a filename length limit |
