| 00:13.44 | wethrin | hi AB |
| 00:21.06 | AndrewBlack | hi there - can't get to sleep |
| 00:21.32 | AndrewBlack | Do you use IRSSI - I havent worked out how to handle multiple channels |
| 00:21.58 | wethrin | Just /join #channel |
| 00:23.27 | AndrewBlack | how do you switch which you are looking at |
| 00:24.08 | wethrin | /win <N> |
| 00:24.29 | wethrin | Or for windows 1-19, just press ESC, then 1-0; Q-P |
| 00:24.35 | wethrin | Err |
| 00:24.37 | wethrin | I mean Q-O |
| 00:24.53 | wethrin | ESC-a switched between active windows |
| 00:28.05 | AndrewBlack | It doesnt seem to have windows. All text for both chanels are mixed up |
| 00:28.26 | wethrin | Hum |
| 00:30.33 | wethrin | It's just worked for me by default |
| 00:31.10 | AndrewBlack | maybe RTFM when I can be bothered |
| 00:33.02 | AndrewBlack | I am getting most confused. I have a KVM switch but only the Video is connected |
| 00:33.19 | AndrewBlack | Laptop has a USB keyboard port and the KVM is PS2 |
| 00:34.01 | AndrewBlack | So if I start typing complete gibberish its because I am on the worng machine. |
| 00:34.43 | wethrin | Okay :) |
| 00:39.05 | AndrewBlack | Might be other explanations for gibberish like I am cracking up.... |
| 00:39.30 | AndrewBlack | I got a shock when I came back to an IRC channel and found I was being address en francais. |
| 00:39.46 | AndrewBlack | My write french at IRC speeds. |
| 00:39.49 | wethrin | how...odd |
| 00:40.00 | AndrewBlack | My write french at IRC speeds isnt very good |
| 00:40.13 | AndrewBlack | Turns out htey wre canadian |
| 00:40.23 | wethrin | Right :) |

| 09:05.46 | mozrat | morning |
| 09:08.52 | Leeds | evening all |
| 09:10.40 | mozrat | Hi Leeds |
| 09:13.41 | Leeds | been to see the Da Vinci Code this afternoon |
| 09:13.55 | mozrat | Any good? |
| 09:14.42 | Leeds | not as bad as it's been reported to be, but some of it doesn't hold up on film, and it's very dense - a lot of story and exposition to get through in a little over 2 hours |
| 09:15.33 | mozrat | Seeing as a lot of the book relied on flashbacks amd memories I wondered how it would stand up as a movie |
| 09:15.54 | Leeds | to be fair, the flashbacks were done pretty well |
| 09:18.31 | *** join/#gllug Erwin (n=erwin@pdpc/supporter/sustaining/Erwin) |
| 09:25.30 | mozrat | American people are amazing. Fair enough - construction work can sound a lot like gunfire.. but 2 women reported seeing a white man with a gun (which obviously didn't happen at all) and one woman was taken to hospital with a panic attack |
| 09:25.59 | mozrat | Are they that highly strung? Seems like group panicing to me |
| 09:27.24 | Leeds | yes, some of them are that highly string |
| 09:29.23 | mozrat | Leeds: last nights HIGNFY was quite good btw |
| 09:29.41 | Leeds | it'll be here in... 18minutes 18seconds ;-) |
| 09:30.25 | Leeds | azureus is currently firing on all cylinders... |
| 09:30.49 | mozrat | Good stuff |
| 09:31.15 | Leeds | 4 other things downloading at the moment as well |
| 09:37.17 | Leeds | ooh, and there's a now show as well |
| 09:37.47 | Leeds | which - very much credit to the beeb for - is available, officially, to download as MP3 for a week after it's been on |

| 12:14.15 | wethrin | I suppose :) |
| 12:14.19 | George | this is why I have a server in telehouse |
| 12:15.04 | wethrin | Isn't your shared between some people? |
| 12:15.13 | George | it's a virtual server |
| 12:15.20 | wethrin | That's not a real server! |
| 12:15.24 | George | it's free. |
| 12:15.59 | wethrin | Cheap bastard |
| 12:16.26 | George | ... |
| 12:16.28 | George | fuck off |
| 12:23.27 | mozrat | wethrin, whats this about your "poor mans SAN"? |
| 12:23.33 | mozrat | what is it constructed of? |
| 12:26.04 | wethrin | mozrat: FreeBSD box set to use SCSI target mode |
| 12:26.24 | mozrat | what kind of storage? |
| 12:27.07 | wethrin | It's got a couple of 100-ish GB IDE drives in it. I create an appropriately sized file in their filesystem, and export that file |
| 12:27.55 | mozrat | I see |
| 12:28.03 | mozrat | sounds fun |
| 12:28.27 | wethrin | It was surprisingly easy. Once I got over the whole 'hanging' thing. Apparently if I left it, it'd continue booting after about 40 minutes :) |
| 12:28.38 | mozrat | heh |
| 12:28.43 | mozrat | soo impatient |
| 12:29.11 | wethrin | Yeah |
| 12:29.27 | wethrin | Right. I'm off to have a wander with a camera |
| 12:29.29 | wethrin | Later! |
| 12:30.14 | mozrat | have fun |
| 12:31.10 | Leeds | okay, I just misread that as being a) bad grammar... b) something you really wouldn't announce on IRC and c) something you *really* wouldn't announce on IRC you were going to take photos of |
| 12:31.53 | Leeds | also, currently, a slightly sick stomach, nose and throat, but that's a different matter |

| 17:21.58 | resuDaed | does anyone know anything about firstclass email? is it a completely closed protocol, or is it based on something remotely standard (like imap or something) |
| 17:37.31 | resuDaed | doesn't matter, the mail server supports imap and pop, they just lied to us by saying that we had to use the firstclass client or webmail to access our mail |
| 17:45.04 | Erwin | Like those bastard admins using Exchange once. They said enabling IMAP was a security hole, and what was wrong with using Exchange? I was the company's blood unix systems programmer! |
| 18:09.52 | resuDaed | anyone know if gentoos portage directory is completely self contained, ie can I just replace the directory on multiple hosts as opposed to having to rsync them all to update software? |

| 20:45.21 | resuDaed | I would fire up the ultra 2, but I only have a vga monitor, so would have limited amusement, and the network is being hit very heavilly, so ssh would be laggy |

| 20:47.48 | Erwin | Sheesh the journey planner can come up with some crazy suggestions |
| 20:48.03 | Erwin | like a 3 hour trip to Heathrow which involves 1.5 hours of waiting at Victora station for no reason |
| 20:48.34 | wethrin | Victoria's a reasonable station to wait at :) |
| 20:48.35 | Erwin | That's if I want to be there 07:40. If I want to be there 07:41, then it has a 2 hour suggestion. |
| 20:48.58 | wethrin | Curious |
| 20:49.02 | wethrin | Where are you coming from? |
| 20:49.19 | resuDaed | Erwin : if you ask thetrainline.com to plan you a late night journey to sheffield, it involves waiting at doncaster for 7.5 hours |
| 20:49.35 | Erwin | Canary Wharf area. If you just wait a bit longer, it gives the sane suggest of Jubilee to Baker STreet, then Padding & HEX |
| 20:50.03 | Erwin | Or I could take bus 15, 25, 63, Circle Line and HEX |
| 20:50.41 | wethrin | Buses-- |
| 20:50.50 | Erwin | I wonder if I have to get there early to get the luxurious seats with 6 extra inches of legroom |
| 20:51.09 | wethrin | Super-Cattle class? |
| 20:51.50 | Erwin | And for 1200 UKP too, because I had to buy the ticket just a week in advance. |
| 20:52.15 | wethrin | ! |
| 20:52.17 | wethrin | Where are you off to? |
| 20:52.47 | Erwin | California. Well, I'll get reimbursed. Eventually, the company is rather awful at transferring money internationally these days |
| 20:52.59 | wethrin | Internationally? |
| 20:53.10 | Erwin | Yes, from their US bank to my UK bank |
| 20:53.17 | wethrin | Ahhh |
| 20:53.25 | wethrin | Don't they have a UK account? |
| 20:54.09 | Erwin | No presence at all. I handle the software development / theatre & restaurant review section from London. |
| 20:54.32 | resuDaed | why doesn't my damn camera have bluetooth, can't find the bloody lead |
| 20:54.41 | resuDaed | or more to the point, why am I not more organised |
| 20:55.00 | Erwin | If it did, you'd spend more time trying to set it up |
| 20:55.19 | wethrin | Hmm. so you get paid for eating out? |
| 20:55.33 | resuDaed | I have it set up for my phone, but unfortunatly my phone is in being repaired |
| 20:55.43 | resuDaed | it's got a better camera on it than my actual camera |
| 20:55.52 | wethrin | :) |
| 20:56.36 | Erwin | wethrin: Well, no, not really. Maybe I could. Not sure how that would work tax-wise. |
| 20:57.07 | Erwin | Back in Denmark, the company can't give you anything without it being taxed |
| 20:57.52 | wethrin | Bah :) |
| 20:58.55 | Erwin | e.g. if you get free phone from the company, you will be taxed as if you had earned 300 ukp |
| 20:59.49 | wethrin | Eww |
| 21:00.10 | Erwin | Company car? It gets taxed accordingly to the value of the car and the percentage you use it for personal vs work stuff |
| 21:01.25 | Erwin | Hmm, there's a Coriander Avenue, Rosemary Drive, Nutmeg Lane & Saffrone Avenue where I live. |
| 21:01.39 | wethrin | Yeah. Telehouse is on Coriander |
| 21:01.51 | Erwin | I guess it's appropriate, as it's near East India Dock Road |
| 21:03.18 | resuDaed | now just got to figure out where my homedir is on the uni server |
| 21:03.29 | resuDaed | ftp'd in using nautilus and I am at / |
| 21:05.08 | resuDaed | and the dir structure makes little sense (considering there are nearlly 30000 users on this box, and their homedirs must be somewhere |
| 21:07.03 | wethrin | ssh in , and run 'pwd' |
| 21:07.18 | resuDaed | yeah, just thought of that, although I did echo $HOME |
| 21:07.37 | resuDaed | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:09.07 | resuDaed | fsck me this connection is slow |
| 21:10.34 | resuDaed | naught sysadmins, been logged in and idle for >10 days |
| 21:14.10 | wethrin | heh |
| 21:15.25 | resuDaed | finally, my seial cable: http://homepages.shu.ac.uk/~twtaylor/cable.jpg |
| 21:16.22 | resuDaed | made with the adapters I could find, and some plumbing solder |
| 21:25.53 | wethrin | Nice :) |
| 21:48.52 | resuDaed | grrr, my email setup doesn't work |
| 21:50.19 | resuDaed | and I am now bored of playing with that |
| 21:53.50 | resuDaed | thiunk I might go make me a carbonara sauce for supper, then watch tv ... laters |
