00:11.57 | Leeds | ("mornin' all") |
00:13.44 | JAV | morning! |
00:13.46 | Leeds | there is something strange going on here... |
00:14.07 | Leeds | when I turn my 100% wired PC on, my wireless stops working |
00:14.20 | mozrat | hmm |
00:14.36 | Leeds | the only wireless thing on the PC is the mouse |
00:15.13 | mozrat | does the wireless device have an IP address? |
00:15.20 | Leeds | yes |
00:15.32 | Leeds | a 192.168 |
00:15.37 | mozrat | sorry to ask an obvious question, but is it conflicting with anything? |
00:15.41 | Leeds | no |
00:15.53 | Leeds | it's not an IP conflict - the link quality goes mad |
00:16.06 | mozrat | EMF? |
00:17.08 | Leeds | obviously, but a PC in a regular box shouldn't be putting out enough to swamp a connection... and it's not that the wireless drops to 0 and stays there - it bounces up to 100% for a few seconds, drops a bit, then goes to 0 for a while, then back up |
00:18.31 | mozrat | weird |
00:19.35 | Leeds | yes... |
00:20.11 | Leeds | I thought it could be another network on the same channel, a microwave, something like that - but the connection was stable this morning until I turned the PC on... |
00:20.24 | JAV | is it a full closed box? (faraday) |
00:21.03 | Leeds | the only other possible thing which comes to mind is a power issue... I've got a lot of stuff running off 3 sockets here, including the PC and the router/AP and I was wondering if something is browning out a bit |
00:21.13 | Leeds | it's closed... got a fan in the side, but otherwise solid |
00:21.19 | JAV | speakers? |
00:21.42 | Leeds | yes, although they were actually on all night anyway... let me try turning them off |
00:22.14 | Leeds | not the speakers |
00:24.56 | JAV | so you'll have to start with a basic conf (just cpu) and add things... or try tonight again :) |
00:25.40 | Leeds | at least if I know it's coming from the PC, I know that when the PC is off things should be stable |
00:26.37 | Leeds | and it's not my mouse, which I've just unplugged and taken the batteries out of |
00:26.48 | JAV | reboot the AP |
00:28.57 | Leeds | why? |
00:29.48 | JAV | why not? :D |

07:24.26 | Leeds | there's some very strange throttling going on somewhere between me and ftp.mozilla.org - my download speeds up to about 200KB/s then drops to about 30 - getting a nice sawtooth picture on my ethernet usage graph |
07:38.41 | Leeds | George: so did you have fun? |
07:39.03 | George | where? |
07:40.13 | Leeds | at your open day |
07:41.03 | George | it sucked |
07:41.28 | George | not very surprising really |
07:42.07 | Leeds | because it wasn't oxford? |
07:45.06 | George | nah, because 6 hours of train journey surrounded it and I was likely to be pissed when I got there ;) |
07:45.59 | SlayerXP | George: don't they have oxygen on whatever planet you're from? |
07:46.13 | George | it's the next gen icon theme for kde |
07:46.30 | SlayerXP | KDE Themes: The Next Generation |
07:46.42 | SlayerXP | is one of the themes blad? |

07:47.20 | Leeds | you were drunk when you got there? |
07:47.29 | George | no |
07:47.43 | SlayerXP | how pointless. cramming more eyecandy on top of bloatware |
07:48.18 | SlayerXP | "but it's pretty!" "but it brings my dual opty 242 to its knees!" "but it's pretty!" |
07:48.50 | SlayerXP | i like the devices section |
07:48.57 | SlayerXP | "Devices icons are very realistic yet somber which provides clarity while not confusing the user with too many details. It is important to represent devices and media storage in a way that user will immediatly recognize them." |
07:49.10 | SlayerXP | so why does my laser printer look like an inkjet? |
07:49.43 | murb | because laser printers just don't look printer like enough. |
07:50.19 | SlayerXP | i was shocked to find my printer is now EOL |
07:50.20 | Leeds | because a printer is a class of device - the mechanism inside used for making marks on paper doesn't matter in that context |
07:50.26 | SlayerXP | it's the bestest printer ever to be made |
07:50.47 | SlayerXP | hp laserjet 4050n |
07:51.16 | SlayerXP | the only way I could make this better is if I bought a duplexer for it |
07:52.04 | murb | my ickle brother printer does duplex printing, and just works with cups etc. |

08:39.29 | Leeds | SlayerXP: I'm not a gentoo user... firefox has had serious variety in levels of usefulness and stability in the past, and this is rc3 not a full release |
08:42.02 | SlayerXP | mmmdeeer |
08:42.07 | mozrat | Cope, you've mentioned this before. What is it? |
08:42.11 | SlayerXP | there's a deer factory just up the road |
08:42.21 | Leeds | mozrat: deer park is the codename for firefox 1.5 |
08:42.26 | mozrat | ahh |
08:42.26 | SlayerXP | dozens of deer gambol free over the fields and fjords |
08:42.30 | Cope | mozrat: what Leeds said |

08:48.29 | Leeds | and could be the browser, but the buttons at the top, and the Back button in the body, are broken |
08:48.31 | murb | SlayerXP: well since they know all these things, why not? |
08:48.34 | Leeds | they are the wrong size |
08:48.51 | mozrat | it might not be this weekend then :) |
08:49.35 | SlayerXP | also, it's look _shite_ in a text only browser |
08:50.05 | SlayerXP | arrrrgh |
08:50.21 | SlayerXP | you also break the "opening a new window without warning the user" rule |

10:27.27 | ProperMadDad | and hello to all |
10:27.38 | Cope | kbsingh: after what we said about redhat support and qla drivers..... they are now saying they won't do *anything* until I blow away the 3rd party drivers and use their ones. |

10:28.16 | Cope | SlayerXP: :P |
10:28.26 | Cope | indeed |
10:28.28 | ProperMadDad | I can't support my own system |
10:29.26 | kbsingh | Cope, will they get their drivers working for multipath in that case ? |
10:29.39 | kbsingh | { you mentioned this being reason for HP drivers, right ? } |
10:30.01 | SlayerXP | you know, I am up _to here_ with fucking stupid redhat morons |
10:30.24 | SlayerXP | I have some idiot bleating at me about how he can't get his video card to have 3d acceleration using RHEL |
10:30.53 | SlayerXP | "ask redhat for support, that's a commercial product" doesn't seem to be getting the required clue across |
10:31.13 | SlayerXP | i.e. he's a warez kiddie who thoughtit'd be cool to run "enterprise linux" on his self-built poxy home "server" |
10:32.43 | mozrat | SlayerXP: is it subscribed to RHN (i.e. did he pay for it?) |
10:32.48 | SlayerXP | "but without a 3d accelerated GUI, I can;t use KI'mTooStupidToUseAComputerGUI!!!!" |
10:33.03 | SlayerXP | mozrat: of course not. |
10:33.26 | mozrat | SlayerXP: then tell him he is running illegal software (for the trademark and copyright reasons) and you don't want to deal with him |
10:33.27 | SlayerXP | he;s installed RHEL, then updated it with packages from all over the Internet, and wonders why his system is fucked. |
10:33.40 | SlayerXP | mozrat: I have, several times :) |
10:33.42 | mozrat | I asked RH about this - you stop paying them, you stop using the system |
10:34.04 | SlayerXP | mozrat: I've just sent a reply along the lines of "fuck off, welcome to my kill file" |
10:34.11 | SlayerXP | hopefully that'll solve the problem |
10:34.20 | mozrat | SlayerXP: was it to you directly or another mailing list? |
10:34.30 | morsing | Hmm... Spot the deliberate mistake: |
10:34.32 | morsing | http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4590504310&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 |
10:34.49 | SlayerXP | directly to me. FOAF work that I'm regreting agreeing to do. |
10:35.14 | mozrat | Yes, FOAF is never a winner |
10:35.23 | SlayerXP | unpaid FOAF work, I might add. |
10:38.28 | mozrat | morsing: go on? |
10:53.37 | morsing | mozrat: Go on what? |
10:53.45 | morsing | Ahhh... the mistake>? |
10:54.44 | morsing | It says "Engine size 2664" at the top |
10:54.45 | mozrat | yes |
10:55.02 | morsing | But in the description he says the engine has been replaced with a four cylinder |
10:55.20 | mozrat | I see |

11:11.37 | formi | I am not happy with that |

12:09.27 | gregj | yeah, they do |
12:09.40 | gregj | I find mac os x sucking more and more with time |
12:10.41 | kbsingh | gregj, what sort of a machine ? |
12:11.06 | gregj | minimac |
12:11.16 | gregj | this thing is so sloooow |
12:11.26 | gregj | I hate bloody beachball |
12:11.30 | kbsingh | move to Linux on that machine, it will be slow no more |
12:11.52 | gregj | I have linux on it as well |
12:11.57 | gregj | it is much better |
12:12.05 | kbsingh | *nod* |
12:12.23 | gregj | I like mac os x in it self, but it requires much faster hardware than what mini provides |
12:12.31 | kbsingh | not really |
12:12.52 | kbsingh | OSX is slow, visually lithargic ( sp? ) on pretty much any machine |
12:13.09 | gregj | I think it works perfectly well on PM |
12:13.30 | gregj | we have iMacs at work, and those are pretty slow as well, but only 256MB of ram (joke) |
12:13.52 | kbsingh | I am sitting here on a 2 way G5 2.0 Ghz machine, I'd race my Linux box to your OSX box if you like |
12:14.24 | gregj | is it running linux ? |
12:14.28 | kbsingh | I have 2 gigs of ram in this machine, and Linux is still faster / more reliable than OSX ( not that I use osx much anymore ) |

12:53.04 | mikejw | it was green and strong |

12:56.01 | wethrin | How mature are students? |
12:56.22 | wethrin | Was it the London.pm event last night? |
12:56.28 | mikejw | depends on the life experience I guess |
12:56.33 | wethrin | yar |
12:56.41 | mikejw | oh I don't think so what's that? |
12:56.56 | wethrin | The Frameworks Evening that was announced |
12:57.04 | mikejw | oh! |
12:57.19 | wethrin | London.pm is the London Perlmongers group. Their social meetings are the Thursday after the first Wednesday of the month |
12:57.21 | mikejw | yeah I was really in two minds with what to do |
12:57.24 | wethrin | And it involves BOOZE |
12:57.33 | mikejw | lol perl = booze |
12:57.34 | wethrin | I'll be there for the January meeting |
12:57.54 | wethrin | yes, and they almost never talk about Perl |
12:58.15 | mikejw | interesting |

17:22.17 | wethrin | George: Ha! |
17:22.22 | George | sorry - was on the phone |
17:22.23 | wethrin | It's the one without a name |
17:22.29 | Cope | was an 'is george idling' test |
17:22.29 | wethrin | Nicknamed Benedict by some |
17:22.34 | George | wethrin: what??? |
17:22.39 | wethrin | It's the one without a name |
17:22.40 | wethrin | Nicknamed Benedict by some |
17:22.57 | George | van mildert |
17:23.12 | wethrin | Cope: I'm going to be in Köln between 16th and 20th of December; haven't decided if I'm going back up to Durham between then and Christmas, or not |
17:23.15 | George | interesting. it's in "mill hill lane". |
17:23.19 | George | I live in Mill Hill |
17:23.24 | George | I bet that's why they chose it for me |
17:23.25 | George | haha |
17:23.36 | wethrin | Cope: And then returning to Durham in January |
17:23.48 | wethrin | George: You got accepted by Mildert *and* Benedict? |
17:24.03 | George | wethrin: I dunno |
17:24.06 | Cope | wethrin: well... we must diarise a meeting |
17:24.24 | wethrin | Cope: Yes, yes we must. In fact, come to Köln! |
17:24.25 | Cope | wethrin: and... in the new year I want to come up and stay with you, drink beer and go for a nice walk |
17:24.37 | George | wethrin: the postmark says "Van Mildert College" |
17:24.51 | wethrin | Ahh....maybe they're doing the entrance admin |
17:24.54 | George | wethrin: the letter says "I am pleased to inform you that we are making you an offer of a place at Durham's 16th College" |
17:24.57 | wethrin | Okay |
17:25.07 | wethrin | The 16th college is still a building site |
17:25.12 | George | ah |
17:25.13 | Cope | George: did you even turn up? |
17:25.14 | George | it's the new one? |
17:25.17 | George | Cope: to where? |
17:25.20 | wethrin | Just to warn you that the buildings are likely to break within the first year |
17:25.22 | wethrin | George: Yes |
17:25.22 | Cope | George: the durham open day |
17:25.28 | George | Cope: what durham open day? |
17:25.36 | Cope | George: the one you were discussing going to |
17:25.50 | wethrin | Cope: Well, given I'm in a tiny little student room, staying with me may be an issue, but the rest is easily doable |
17:25.51 | George | Cope: that's bristol. I went. it sucked. never want to return. |
17:26.05 | wethrin | I was only at Bristol once for a UKUUG conference |
17:28.32 | George | I've not yet heard from cambridge |
17:28.38 | George | everyone else at school has their interview dates |
17:28.39 | George | I have nothing |
17:28.41 | George | I think they hate me |
17:28.56 | George | wethrin: WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TELLING THEM!?!?!? |
17:29.07 | wethrin | (muahahahaha) |
17:29.33 | Cope | George: oooh that sounds like bad news :( |

17:30.18 | Cope | wethrin: well, had he listend to us.... |

17:32.42 | Cope | what do you think wethrin ? |
17:32.49 | wethrin | I try to avoid thinking |
17:32.57 | George | lazy shit |
17:32.58 | Cope | I'd have thought you shoudl use your senuor tutor, or whatever they call them at eton |
17:33.15 | George | Cope: so you think I should email the director of studies at harrow and ask him wtf to do? |
17:33.27 | wethrin | I'd get in contact and say that other people have received letters, and you were wondering if yours was lost in the post, or what the status was |
17:33.31 | Cope | s/eton/harrow/ eek sorry |
17:33.39 | George | wethrin: email? |
17:33.58 | wethrin | George: Could work |
17:34.04 | Cope | wethrin: hmm, ok, I might be more formal and get the director of studies to intercede |
17:34.20 | wethrin | It's been a long time since I've done undergrad applications |
17:34.28 | Cope | likewise |

17:38.55 | mozrat | afternoon to you all |
17:39.03 | wethrin | evening |
17:39.24 | mozrat | hello george cope wethrin |
17:40.25 | George | mozrat is a prime example of why people should go to university |
17:41.03 | mozrat | George, why is that then? |
17:41.28 | mozrat | or are you simply a troll? |
17:41.35 | mozrat | :) |
17:42.03 | mozrat | seriously a university education would have been handy but i've done ok without it |
17:42.12 | SlayerXP | mine was pointless |
17:42.23 | George | SlayerXP: yes, but you're a raving cynic. |
17:42.37 | SlayerXP | I've never raved in my life. |
17:42.43 | George | you're a cynic. |
17:42.44 | mozrat | and i had more fun with those 7 years IMO |
17:42.56 | George | rahrah |
17:43.14 | George | and I'm already a higher rank than you ever were :) |
17:43.15 | George | hahahahaha |
17:43.46 | George | WHAT? |
17:43.51 | mozrat | Yes George, The Army cadets really count |
17:44.04 | George | haha |
17:44.10 | Cope | mozrat: think you typo'd there... extra 'o' |
17:44.24 | George | Cope: bitch. |
17:44.51 | SlayerXP | cease this man-love |
17:45.01 | Cope | George: one day you will grow old and recede, and long-floppy hair will just look shit |
17:45.05 | mozrat | George, 3 years in the Army would sort you out |
17:45.16 | SlayerXP | 3 years in iraq would sort him out |
17:45.29 | George | d3w|) |
17:45.42 | mozrat | do it! |
17:45.42 | mozrat | yeah, i wouldnt recommend Iraq |
17:45.53 | Erwin | filthy stupid real estate agencies |
17:46.18 | Erwin | there's an average of 5 letters/week from them looking for property |
17:46.40 | Erwin | and they all send it in a white unmarked envelope so you cannot throw them away without opening them |
17:47.07 | Cope | ummmm |
17:47.30 | Cope | do the unmarked envelopes have some magic forcefield which repel them from the bin / shredder? |
17:47.37 | George | Erwin: note the postmark. throw away anything from that postmark. |
17:47.53 | Erwin | Well, I have to open them first, maybe it's some bill |
17:48.29 | mozrat | Erwin send them back in an envelope with no stamp and make them pay (or is that an urban myth?) |
17:49.02 | Erwin | There's no return address, so I'd need to get one of my own envelopes, put in their address etc. |
17:59.01 | wethrin | What's the 3-letter code for Singapore dollar? |
17:59.21 | Cope | sgd? |

18:34.40 | SlayerXP | Cope: I used to have sexual congress with a medical student born in singapore |
18:34.43 | SlayerXP | she was pretty hot |
