06:15.38sabinef72hi morsing
06:15.44sabinef72be careful I'm not in good mood
06:16.03morsing:(
06:16.06sabinef72because of this STUPID mozilla
06:18.42morsing:)

06:21.47sabinef72oh yes
06:21.51sabinef72with some milk
06:21.53sabinef72and suggar
06:21.58sabinef72and a little cake
06:22.05sabinef72that would be perfect
06:24.07Leedsif I said I bought lunch from a place called Yamazaki, what sort of place would you think it was?
06:28.01sabinef72japonese place
06:28.13sabinef72with japonese food ?
06:28.55morsingLeeds: Hungarian?
06:29.11sabinef72lol
06:29.36Leedsboulangerie chaude
06:29.47morsingNice
06:29.56morsingIs that hungarian?
06:30.08sabinef72boulangerie is the french name of baker
06:30.13sabinef72chaude is hot
06:30.24sabinef72what did you find there Leeds ?
06:31.07LeedsI know what it means :-)  I had a couple of bread-roll type things
06:33.32Leedsfor some reason, there's a whole range of international bakeries around here - Yamazaki is obviously Japanese, there's a French place (called Donq) down the road, a Danish place a bit further away... not to mention at least three different local chains
06:35.22Leedsokay, and a donut... but I did go in on the way back from the gym :-)
06:36.14sabinef72Danish and french place ! morsing we should go there
06:36.20morsingThe Japanese are really into french things...
06:36.32Leedsstrangely enough, no British bakery, but there is a chain of British Dry Cleaners
06:36.38morsingWhen I was there it was a bit like english in Denmark
06:36.53morsingRandom words and sentences and things were french
06:37.16morsingsabinef72: Who is the little girl with the red shoes?
06:41.09sabinef72hmm... well... I dunno !
06:42.28morsingIn Japan they have this little girl thingy in some shops and underneith it it says in french "The little girl with the red shoes" (She has red shoes on
06:42.38morsingI thought it was some french thing?
06:44.59morsingHmm... This might be it but why in french?

07:06.59morsingThanks
07:18.24Leedsstake
07:18.33Leedssorry, that's for vampires
07:59.24morsingMoo
08:04.08murbmorsing: you just have to kill their parents
08:09.06morsingmurb: Nope
08:09.30murbor atleast force them to wait
08:10.25morsingThat's a better idea
08:10.31morsingThat's what preap does
08:12.20murbi still think irresiposible parents should be shot

10:21.56keithlard_i just got im-wormed!
10:22.11Leedsoo-er
10:22.39keithlard_i get an im message from one of my contacts saying 'is that u on that photo :| http://www.photogbase.com/pictures.php?photo656.jpg'
10:22.56keithlard_that script serves me up a PIF file instead:
10:23.06keithlard_$ file photo656.pif
10:23.06keithlard_photo656.pif: PE executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
10:23.15keithlard_tsk, tsk
10:23.54keithlard_i bet you can do this with gaim automation now
10:28.47SlayerXPkeithlard: run strings on it
10:29.43SlayerXPnot much interesting actually
10:35.26keithlard_well gimmie can show your online buddies as icons in a dock area
10:35.35keithlard_and if you click on them it opens a new gaim window to them
10:36.30keithlard_so i guess i could get the user's buddy list and send them all an IM with my URL in :>
10:37.22keithlard_now, how to get them to execute a script from the web...

11:46.22keithlard_no... how about whistling it for us?
11:48.56haliugh, turnacct gives me the creps...
11:49.11halispent way to much time troubleshooting billing procedures with it
11:54.42morsinghali: Do you know logadm?
11:55.11halimorsing: yes, a bit at least
11:55.37morsing/opt/apache2/logs/error_log -P 'Fri Oct 20 02:10:01 2006'
11:55.47morsingWhat generates the timestamp?
11:57.40halilogadm intself i think, logadm runs logadm -w after a successfull run or something like that
11:58.29morsingSo if I want to copy an entry to another server, can I just copy the whole string?
11:58.55halisun officially recommend you not to edit logadm.conf manually :)
11:59.02morsingSo how to>#
11:59.04haliyou can configure logadm.conf from logadm
11:59.17halibut copying the line/file will probably work just fine
12:14.47morsinghali: Is it impossibly to tell what the configuration is?

15:59.56trousersHmm, that was strange :S
16:00.07trousersI went to my not-so-local library and bumped into a guy I met at last meeting
16:00.35antiphaseI avoid that by not going out
16:00.50trousersI was getting some literature...
16:01.17trousersFree books > pirated books > bought books
16:03.07wethrinWoo. Cheap flights to FOSDEM
16:03.32BlaptoI've met wethrin in a pub a few times.
16:04.02trouserswethrin: Where is FOSDEM?
16:04.44wethrintrousers: Brussels
16:05.10trousersHmm, just Googled... This will take a large bit of parent persuading :)
16:05.33wethrinKeep an eye out on the Social list - I tend to do a block booking for Youth Hostel (Fri->Sun)
16:06.05Blaptowhen is it?
16:06.20wethrin24-25 Feb
16:06.25wethrinPlus booze on the 23rd
16:06.31trousersAm I allowed to go even though I don't technically develop any software?
16:06.49psnlwethrin doesn't develop anything etheir
16:07.14wethrinI go there for booze. And to claim I've met lots of people
16:07.16trousersHmm, I really do want to develop *something* though, I just don't know what projects I could do any worthy contributions to :(
16:07.23wethrinGrr. I'm not allowed to find Eurostar prices
16:07.30wethrinAs their booking date ends on the 17/02
16:07.31trousersNot allowed?
16:07.34trousersOh
16:07.37antiphasetrousers: Try reinventing the wheel
16:07.49trousersantiphase: I think that's a bit old these days...
16:08.01wethrinNah - They do it all the time
16:08.18antiphaseIf you just want to learn to program, write some games
16:08.40antiphaseI always thought it would be nice to contribute to something, but I was born 20 years too late
16:08.45wethrinIndeed
16:08.59trousersI was thinking that... But they're not really of any use to anyone, even though they do give me a fair chunk of experience (currently reading a PDF on Linux game programming)
16:10.07trousersAlso, does anybody know how to make it so that output on a screen is constantly in the same place
16:10.16trousersKind of like top, if you understand?
16:10.41wethrinclear && do stuff
16:10.50wethrinOr use (n)curses
16:11.20Blaptoncurses rocks
16:11.36wethrinYou missed a 'blows' in there somewhere
16:11.38BlaptoI need to write an ncursesed frontend to ethstats
16:12.10trousersncurses?
16:12.28BlaptoThe CEO has a grand vision of a huge modern glass partitioned office with flat panels everywhere
16:12.44BlaptoSo I'm going to put nagios and ethstats on a 42" flatpanel for him
16:12.49wethrinThat'll be rather unpleasant in summer
16:13.31trousersethstats?
16:13.57antiphaseCrawling before running considered sensible
16:16.07Blaptowethrin, I won't be here come summer :D
16:16.14wethrinBlapto: Heh
16:16.39keithlardooh, what's ethstats?
16:17.05BlaptoIt's a package that just looks at /proc stuff and works out pps and bps through interfaces
16:17.23keithlardwhere is fosdem then, in belgium?
16:17.27trouserswethrin: I think the best argument for FOSDEM is that Brussels is closer than Manchester :)
16:17.28wethrinkeithlard: Indeed
16:17.29Blaptonothing really fancy, just mildly useful when you're wondering if a screen process is done curling and you can't be arsed to reattach

16:19.22wethrinI think I shall fly from Newcastle again
16:19.22antiphaseiptraf
16:19.38trousersAh, balls, Manchester is closer than Brussels, but Newcastle isn't!
16:19.54Blaptoiptraf is also great, but overkill most of the time
16:20.29wethrintrousers: Hmm?
16:20.34wethrinNewcastle's closer to me
16:20.40trousersNot to me
16:20.48wethrinYes, but Im in Durham :-P
16:20.55trousersWait, if you live near Newcastle, then why are you part of GLLUG?

16:25.07wethrinRight. I notice it's time for me to go to the pub
16:25.11trousersAlthough I think by law I'm allowed up to 2 weeks holiday by discretion of the headmaster
16:25.32wethrinIt'll help a career, or something like that :)

19:28.31Leedstrousers: there is a voluntary donation - most people give 20EUR or so, for which they give you a t-shirt
19:28.56Leedscould be 25 - something in that area
19:29.05trousersLeeds: So it doesn't *actually* cost anything, though?
19:29.30Leedsno, there is no compulsary charge - apart from travel and accomodation, of course
19:35.00Leedsthe polite way to look at it is that if you can afford to pay something, you do so, but entrance isn't limited to those who pay

22:49.03ErwinIf you ever go to see "Spamalot", try getting seat D1.. :-)
22:49.16angelchildhmm? :)
22:49.19angelchildhowcome?
22:49.45ErwinYou get up on the stage and get a little prize as part of the show
22:50.14angelchildooh, cool, but are you sure it's not randomly chosen/planted? :)
22:52.51ErwinYeah, as there's a pretty big clue on stage that leads King Arthur to find the Holy Grail under D1
22:53.12angelchildah!
22:53.47ErwinAll in all an amusing musical, but not the greatest thing I've seen in London.
